Listen to Obama's radio ad here--> LINK

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Jan 23, 2008 -> 09:17 PM) I really hate this part of a campaign. Everyone complained when Kerry didn't fight back in 2004 so what is he to do?

QUOTE(Athomeboy_2000 @ Jan 23, 2008 -> 12:50 PM) Guess who's up to the same ol' $h1t again?? Clinton goes after Obama's Republican comments in radio ad Obama calls $100 and raises $1000.

Anyone know of a good, objective site that breaks down local candidates running for office?

QUOTE(Athomeboy_2000 @ Jan 23, 2008 -> 12:50 PM) Guess who's up to the same ol' $h1t again?? Clinton goes after Obama's Republican comments in radio ad I'm so tired of their Rovian tactics.

QUOTE(BigSqwert @ Jan 22, 2008 -> 04:42 PM) Why don't you tell us who we should vote for then because the Pope isn't listed on the ballot. Oh wait. Yes he is.

QUOTE(mr_genius @ Jan 22, 2008 -> 04:36 PM) did you know that the non white guy was a lawyer for a slum lord? he was. just shows what kind of person you would vote for. Why don't you tell us who we should vote for then because the Pope isn't listed on the ballot.

QUOTE(NorthSideSox72 @ Jan 22, 2008 -> 01:59 PM) But what I saw, they were booing Hillary pretty clearly. You are correct. SC may be a lopsided loss for her.

Happy Birthday!

QUOTE(kapkomet @ Jan 22, 2008 -> 11:53 AM) Yet, Democrats love her (or him, which bothers me even more because HE is not running for president, but he is, f***ing end around motherf***ers). I don't get it. Half of the Dems love her. The other half despises her. She epitomizes the word polarizing.

QUOTE(kapkomet @ Jan 22, 2008 -> 11:06 AM) There's not a chance in hell she makes Edwards the Veep. Agreed. He adds nothing to the campaign for the general election. Couldn't win his home state in 2004.

QUOTE(Reddy @ Jan 22, 2008 -> 08:50 AM) ps. i wish the news media cared, but MLK III sent John a letter telling him to keep fighting because he is carrying on MLK's dream and etc etc - hot s***. What did MLK III have to say about Bill Clinton nodding off during his speech the other day?

QUOTE(Reddy @ Jan 22, 2008 -> 08:50 AM) but he didn't after the first chunk - he got down and called out both clinton AND obama and neither had good answers to his criticisms. he was hot all night - end of story. ps. i wish the news media cared, but MLK III sent John a letter telling him to keep fighting because he is carrying on MLK's dream and etc etc - hot s***. I do agree that he performed quite well last night.

QUOTE(Reddy @ Jan 21, 2008 -> 10:33 PM) though notice he says that on a level playing field Edwards would have won by a large margin he rocked both Clinton and Obama tonight and stood out above the fray. It's easy to stay above the fray when you are becoming as relevant as Kucinich.

Time's Mark Halperin gives Obama an A- and the other two a B+ for the debate.

Anyone plan to watch tonight's debate? I will only catch the 1st half hour.

If you want to live in Chicago I recommend looking into this program. I used it and it was quite helpful. EDIT: There is a very similar program for Cook County as well.

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Jan 21, 2008 -> 01:46 PM) The answer is that it depends on the construction materials of your house, and the radio frequency use in your area, and items of interference such as microwaves and 2.4 gigahertz phones. The best way to get the density you are looking for is to use either a 5 Gigahertz service such as 802.11A or a dual band service like 802.11n. I would lean towards N because it supports what is called MIMO which specially gives you the ability to traverse through building materials and give the wide spectrum and bandwidth you are looking for. I have my 802.11n access point mounted currently on the support beam for my house in the basement. I have a high concentration of wireless users on my block and it can reach it from everywhere in my 2 story house with great speed. Before I went to N I had a hell of a time getting any signal at my 2nd floor. Another avenue that you may explore would be Power line Ethernet technology. The only key is that the house must be like a single residence. It only works for items behind your electric meter. I have one that I use for connectivity for my work network from my basement to my 2nd floor. It utilizes your electrical subsystem as a transport for tcp/ip or a bridged version of it. I was able to get mine on sale at Fry's for 24 dollars for each side. Now the caveats to it. If you plug a device with a large amp draw, like an Iron. It will kill your signal. So far an Iron is the only device that I have tested that causes that condition. Now for cost, you can go anywheres from 60 dollars for a Buffalo access point with G with MIMO that runs on the 2.4 gigahertz to a Apple 802.11n which runs at $179. Your best bet is to shop around and try and get an internet deal on it. If you have an existing router in the house, you can lower your cost and just get an access point. The existing home router will provide everything else. You just have to plug the AP into your router. Adding a wireless router, and plugging into your existing router is a bad idea as you will have dual NAT running and that will mess with your online traffic. So either replace your existing router with a wireless one, or plug an AP into your existing router. I think the guy you were trying to help just put a bullet to his head.

QUOTE(Athomeboy_2000 @ Jan 21, 2008 -> 11:16 AM) uhoh... she TOTALLY played the gender card on the sly. She compliments Loretta Scott King. hmmm.... I turned it off when she came on. She has become the "nails on chalkboard" candidate for me.

QUOTE(Athomeboy_2000 @ Jan 21, 2008 -> 10:59 AM) I am curious if Hillary will get booed at this rally in SC. The guy who was on before the candidates warned against booing. Said that people will be escorted out if they do not respect everyone.

QUOTE(NorthSideSox72 @ Jan 21, 2008 -> 10:22 AM) Latest poll shows that Giuliani is trailing by 12 points... IN NEW YORK. Toast. Toast indeed. What a disaster that campaign has become.

QUOTE(sox4lifeinPA @ Jan 21, 2008 -> 09:09 AM) why did that bug you? It bugged me because there were numerous times he could have easily escaped and did not. He had a gun at one point and could have easily killed those holding him captive.

QUOTE(Texsox @ Jan 20, 2008 -> 02:36 PM) The Dems thank you for your support of their positions and vision for America. As liberal as I am, I'm not a straight ticket Dem.
