  • There was some traction in Florida to make yearly driving tests mandatory for everyone over 65. The main roadblock here is the old people VOTE. They don't have anything better to do, and you can bet the AARP will rain down hellfire on any politici…

  • I've heard that Captain FTP is the best, from a Mac OS X sysadmin who has to use it constantly...he also doesn't have very nice things to say about OS X's AFP and SMB support...

  • I couldn't finish the test...it's utter crap. There are a ton of throwaway questions designed to provoke a "primal" response in their respective right/left wingers.

  • Dean is NOT a pacifist. He certainly has pacifists talking, but he's closer to an old-school Democrat like LBJ than a left-wing peacenik. He has gone on record supporting the first Gulf War, interventions in Bosnia and Somalia, etc.

  • I'd like to think that globalization will raise the standard of living for 3rd-world countries...even if it hurts the US in the short run, it has some tangible benefits to the human race in the long run...

  • So Black people who choose to have abortions are somehow being tricked by Whitey into killing their offspring? In other words, Blacks aren't smart enough to make their own decisions about terminating a pregnancy...that sounds rather bigoted to me.

  • It really doesn't seem like a large enough margin to call it an "embarrassment." Since the G4s don't support DDR properly, it doesn't surprise me that the iMac and eMac perform almost exactly the same. Of course, the iMac gives you that keen flatp…

  • Ah geez, I'm really sick of every thread degenerating into a self-indulgent attack on Fellowship. Grow up, please. That's not why this topic was created... As for Mailer, he's blowing hot air, but it's certainly worth talking about. I see a lo…

  • Compaq laptops are notoriously fragile. I used to work as a tech when I was in college (late 90's) and I saw many of them break down after about a year from normal use. My sister has one (mandated by her school ) and it's been broken more often …
