Unfortunately, you don't seem to realize that we're not talking about 'the rich.' JoeG4 was obviously talking about the large population of middle and lower class conservatives.
And yes, most giving, charity, is at least somewhat self-serving. (this might be a bit too Ayn Randian for you, but...) If for no other reason, giving to charity makes people feel good about themselves, gives them a sense of accomplishment and pride for assisting their fellow man. Does this mean that the act is any less genuine or valuable? I don't think so, but that's just me.
I apologise if I'm breaking your "rules" but I,m talking about the divide between charity i.e. helping those that are in dire need of help,they receive around 10% of U.S. charitable donations and the self serving tax racket with which the rich provide for them and theirs,the other 90%.In your somewhat confusing posts it appears it's OK to give to your own economic class for selfish reasons but not apparently to vote for a government which will pass legislation favouring your economic class. Incidentally by talking of lower and middle classes you are referring to social class not as should be apparent to most people economic classes.Also please refrain from quoting a romantic novelist in what should be a serious discussion.

Half the day has passed. nothing yet!! :confused:
I believe that was suppose to be yesterday, not today...
Today there are multiple sources that now claim 4.3.1 should be out in two weeks or less, and that Apple has fixed the hole in the iPad2!

If they're stored they're not available to you. They're probably kept for data mining purposes.
Pretty sure Microsoft wouldn't admit to holding every single conversation. I presume once they have obtained all the data they want from your conversation they delete it. But I'm no expert.
Generally, the times messages were sent, and sometimes the messages themselves, are stored for around two years for legal reasons, after which they're deleted. That's the case with text messages AFAIK, anyway.
Thank you all for your replies...

Windows 7 Home. I tried that resolution and got about 35 fps. I think I prefer the visuals at a slighty higher resolution and decent fps. Crysis 2 is easier to experiment with different resolutions than Metro 2033 ($10 on Steam!). Metro seems a little more challenging to find the right balance. I am not complaining at all considering I know my Air is not something for hardcore gaming, but I am always amazed how well it performs considering it's size and thiness.

Hi guys, I need help with trying to open up Firefox after there was an automatic update by Firefox. The Firefox icon bounces once when I try to open it but it doesn't open anymore much to my dismay.
I am using a old IMac 10.4.11. I tried to restart and reboot but nothing has worked.
If Firefox can't be opened again, is there a way I can retrieve my bookmarks on there? I can't even open it up so I don't know if that's possible.
Thanks

edit- if the serial on the phone matches the box, its the original.
I won't be opening the box if I buy it, that's for sure.
Might not be an answer to this, but does anyone know how much a sealed iPhone 2G might be worth? And may be worth in the future?

Someone needs to convince a game developer to port the code over as a game disk.
Rather than spend $200 on the HD linux kit you could spend ~$40 on the disk and a memory card, and just pop it in and fold.
That is a great idea.

Heres the thing the new wireless spectrum actually is WiMax, to those who don't know what WiMax is, pretty much some people say its WIFI on steroids. Also the fact that if Tmobile is talking to apple it may have to do not only with Iphones but laptops. Wimax works in a way that you can have broadband connections up to 75mbps. So if Tmobile is talking to Apple they are probably going to design a chip or something so that people who buy apple then sign on to Tmobile and will have access to the internet with extremely high speeds anywhere in the US. :) What Tmobile is doing has more to do with Laptops than it would with Phones. Think of it on WiMax you can have IPTV and VOIP running and still surf the net. Not only that Intel and Motorola invested over 1 billion into Clearwire, INTEL IS designing new chips for WIMAX. I dont think this has to do with the Iphones.
If this is the direction T-Mobile is heading in... I'm there. Although I doubt it would be something seen anytime soon. Not that I would buy a T-Mobile phone, but I'd get their net access if it was Mac compatible. Heck, if any cell provider offered Mac compatible broadband, I'd be on it. Even if that menat having to buy a new machine, just for the compatibility. What better excuse for a new Mac? :)

Im doing the same thing, only im building one....
Asus N798X mobo (the good one)- 120$
AMD 2700+ Retail- 280$
Radeon 9700 Pro- 320$
512MB DDR 400 RAM- 85$
80GB Maxtor HD- 90$
Sweet aluminum/black case with front usb n stuff and 500w power supply- 105$
Microsoft KB/Mouse- 30$
Windows XP (im not buying it)
I think it should turn out friggin great. I have an 18.1 inch LCD at home, so I am set.
Its going to cost about 900 dollars, and I think I can get a lot of the parts for cheaper other places (well, mainly the chip).
And this machine will get 160FPS in Unreal I already checked benches. Its a sweet machine...

Thanks for the quick reply,
I think the problem is most of the time Phone app is the active window, I don't think I accidentally press the Phone icon and than a contact :/
If I could limit the dialing inside the Phone app it will be great.
Thanks again (:
if your talking about accidental dialing try AskToCall makes you confirm dialing

well i was more thinking about hip hop/rap in my own language and in german it's sounds like hypocrisy singing about ghetto and the whole gangsta thing .. most are simply copying US ones
(i didn't knew a single rapper you mentioned, not interested that much, after all i'm more the rock'n'roll guy so you would need a lot of cars to drag me into hiphop-school)
about age: try finding lots of (male) hiphop fans older than 20 over here... they are the exception and not the rule.. for me hiphop is still teenager music stuff simply because of the people who like it over here .. if you don't grew up with it you won't like it later
Unfortunately I know nothing of Rap in Germany, but I'm curious, could you suggest any that rhyme in English?
Age is just number, always remember that. Maturity is something else. I'm fairly mature, but I still enjoy Rap (its only old-school) & Hip-Hop (yet I'm very selective lately). However I enjoy ALL forms of music; except Country just cant get with it, save for the Gambler because of a movie. I love RockNRoll (U2,Bon Jovi, Metallica, Kiss, getting into Led Zeplin - The lemon song!).
Rap is still a very young form of music; not a sub-genre of anything else (Rock has Heavy Metal, Soft/Hard Rock, Grunge, etc). Rap only really much has one sub-genre = HipHop.

Well thank you for taking the time to reply. It is appreciated. I went to that site; I did not know it is a $50 piece of software. It bugs me still that it is free on one new Mac and not on another that essentially costs the same.
Alas I dont know how to subvert the process, I am a bit of a newbie. The processes you kindly assume I know I do not. You are welcome to clue me in. I am still curious if the software can be had from my family member's eMac disc somehow.
Regards, ST

You know the LG Chocolate for Verizon has that type of technology...

You can't see the buttons, but on the bottom left and right corners, there are touch sensitive buttons.
I tested it at the Verizon store.

1. Apple officially announces that Boot Camp will be part of Leopard.
2. VMWare announces their product for OS X.
3. Microsoft kills VPC for Mac as it becomes pointless and sort of redundant.
After all, if they can sell the regular version of Windows to intel Mac users, why bother wasting money on something other companies are doing (VMWare and Parallels).
You want Windows on your Mac, use Boot Camp/buy VMWare or Parallels and then buy Windows like everyone else. No extra R&D funds/time required to enter the "Mac market", which thanks to Boot Camp is "all intel Mac users".
It's a simple business decision.
Yeah, this joke has been around forever. It originally was used when Windows 95 first came out. It isn't technically valid for NT, 2000, XP, or Vista. Those are just 32-bit (or 64-bit) OSes by a 2 bit company. :-D
Well, how about "Windows Vista: a 64-bit OS that can almost emulate a 32 bit shell running on a 16 bit extension of an 8 bit OS designed for a 4 bit CPU, made by a 2 bit company that can't stand one bit of competition."? ;-)

- I added "# 74.208.105.171 gs.apple.com" to my hosts file.
Even if you did have the SHSH blobs stored on Saurik's server, the line you added to your hosts file is not going to do you any good as long as that '#' character is at the front. Remove that. It's a comment character...it makes the DNS resolver IGNORE THAT LINE. With # in front of it, it's as if that line wasn't even there.
Whatever site you copied that from that contains the # in front of it is in error.
