The Lesson the U.S. Is Teaching the World in Libya

Fun Fact of the Day: Your Tax Dollars At Work

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Mar 21, 2011 -> 07:00 AM) The situation in Yemen appears to be eroding quickly. Well we better go and help out there too. We can't have innocent people die like that. I'm looking forward to the reinstitution of the draft.

Damn. How awful.

Aw shucks. You guys are the best.

QUOTE (Y2HH @ Mar 20, 2011 -> 12:25 PM) Camras in tablets are not necessary, as nobody wants to walk around with a device that big snapping crappy pictures in the first place...as with desktops, the cameras are used for video conferencing, which works fine on the ipad2, despite not being able to take awesome snapshots. It's just an awkward form factor for such a use, and right now is more for stat heads and hype than any actual real world use. Yeah but if you're out and about and don't have a camera with you and all you have is a tablet then why not give it something worth using? And what a silly thing to say "Camras [sic] in tablets are not necessary". A lot of features in phones or tablets are not necessary but that's not the point. If you can have one less device to do things for you then it's a good thing.

Little Johnny was so excited to visit the former NBA player cemetery. He had planned on visiting the grave stones of his favorite players like Wilt Chamberlain and Manute Bol. As he walked up to Pistol Pete's grave, something frightened Johnny. He noticed a hand burst out of the ground and then Pete Rose from the grave!

Everyone in here is losing their mind.

QUOTE (Y2HH @ Mar 20, 2011 -> 03:53 AM) I can tell you this, aside from work, I haven't touched my desktop computer since I got my ipad2, for 99% of what a person does on a daily basis, such as email/web, this thing is as near to perfect as anything out there yet. The screen could use a quality boost (I'd prefer it to be "retina" like 300+ pixels per inch), but even as is, this is perfect for usual home computing tasks. And overall, I'd like it even thinner/lighter than it is, but this is nice. Android tablets arent quite there yet, but then again, I didnt think the iPad1 was there yet, either...this one is much closer. The tablet field is the future for most non intensive tasks IMO. That said, even a comparative android tablet, for 99% of what a regular person does...makes needing an actual computer unimportant at this point. And flash has become overrated to the nTh degree as of now, I've run into almost 0 pages that require it for video viewing...and in light of firefox and googles chrome executives saying html5 is the way to go as of now, flash doesn't have much life left to it. I think adobe screwed themselves on this one taking so long to make it efficient, secure and stable (they still haven't) that even google got sick of them. Throw in a better display and cameras, sd card support, swappable batteries, and the scribe feature on HTC's Flyer and I would never need a laptop. EDIT: And what's so annoying is that I know they can make that device I just mentioned right now, but it's like they purposefully omit things so that they can make people keeping buying a different tablet each year.

LOL Thanks fellas!

QUOTE (kapkomet @ Mar 16, 2011 -> 09:26 PM) This is complete bulls***. Complete. There are many people who disagree(d) with the fiscal policy of the president between 2000 and 2008 (and in particular 2007-2008). What, like 8 conservatives?

QUOTE (G&T @ Mar 19, 2011 -> 11:47 AM) What's crazy is that I WANT and iPad, but I know that it is pointless. Slightly more capable than an iPhone, but far less portable. Slightly more portable than a laptop, but far less capable. If you don't have a smartphone, only have a desktop computer, and have no need for full laptop capability, I can see an iPad as a nice little device to bridge the gap without breaking the bank. I assume you're talking about a wifi only tablet. The other ones will cost as much as a laptop after a year of service.

Probability of him posting at that time are high since he makes 28 posts per hour.

Sullivan sums up my thoughts best.

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Mar 18, 2011 -> 10:38 AM) I still don't get it. He's telling Brent that he needs more "L"s to spell the word yellow since it was spelled with just one.

Interesting read on the way to work this morning: Phosphate With a Twist

The captain yelled out to the first mate, Tom, while maneuvering through the post tsunami coast line "Tom, Paciorek (pass shore wreck) and head due west!"

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Mar 17, 2011 -> 03:45 PM) Wow...the repetition of arguments from Kosovo and Iraq is staggering. Agreed. Apparently the term "history will repeat itself" is not one that many people remember.

Give me a break. Just look at Arrested Development as a perfect example.

QUOTE (The Critic @ Mar 17, 2011 -> 05:15 AM) Holy s***. I felt my brain melting and dripping out of my earhole. That is awful, even by Disney Channel "standards". I don't know if that girl is a Disneybot, but she sure seems to be. The back story behind this drivel.

The crime raid revealed the perpetrator's scandalous photos of Prince Alberts, Pujols, and various bestiality scenes in addition to a vintage Dick Pole.

Rand Paul:

Xanadu for Balta would be to have this guy's collection.
