Reply to The fracturing of America in US Domestic Stardock Forums

[quote who="Mumblefratz" comment="6"]Definitely interesting. I have to compliment you on providing original content as opposed to merely referencing a random article from the net and then either accepting it hook, line and sinker or subjecting it to ridicule. It will be interesting to see how you survive on this site since IMO it's not particularly tolerant of any political opinion left of Ann Coulter.[/quote] I personally find it annoying when the majority of 'research' or 'thoug

[quote who="Silver_and_Jade_Tears" comment="4"](The quote isn't mine, just one that I believe describes our situation. The quote belongs to Dr. Alexander Tytler. I don't think it has actually been proven to have happened in other democracy's either, at least not that I have found, however it does seems to be happening in our country.)[/quote] I agree with you that it does describe our situation, in sentiment at least. The quote is supposedly from his work Decli

I don't mean to slam your comment, which as far as it goes I happen to agree with in sentiment. But while perhaps accurately reflecting the ideology expressed in some of Lord Woodhouselee's treatises, this quote is unattributable to anyone, and in fact the statstic of the '200' years that has been making it's way around the net is more than somewhat erroneous. There have only actually been a couple of true democracies, and in fact the United States is NOT, nor has it ever been a democracy. We

That is true and a good point. I was referring more to domestic travel (inside US) though.

The fracturing of America in US Domestic JoeUser Forums

I heard a comment on the radio the other morning with which I take issue. The guest on a local morning talk show said that "America (United States) is moving more to the center." Leaving out the whole semantic issue of what "center" means, I have to disagree. I believe that what is taking place is exactly the opposite, and that America (US) is polarizing to opposites. Part of this is reactionary on both extremes (you espouse this view, so I'll espouse a view that is even more contrarian to yo

Debit card saftey in Travel JoeUser Forums

Just a quick reminder with the increasing prevelance of all sorts of nifty devices, don't ever take your debit card on the road. Use a credit card. While some banks do provide a measure of protection against theft, if your debit card is skimmed and your account drained, you are likely going to be up a creek for a long while. Debit cards do NOT have the same types of consumer protections in place as do credit cards. Use a credit card, then pay it off when you get home.

Out-of-country (US) travel reminder in US Domestic JoeUser Forums

With the summer travel and vacation season coming up I thought I'd post a travel reminder Upon re-entering the United States (including from Canada or Mexico): All electronic devices (thumbdrives, ipods, CD/DVD, laptops, phones, PDAs, cameras, etc.) you may have on your person (personal or business), in your carry-on, or in checked baggage are subject to inspection with or without cause. You may be required to divulge

I have seen some related issues using Firefox that I had tweaked to allow more simultaneous requests to the server. When I dropped my number of threads down from 16 to 8 some of the problems went away.

Switch to using IMAP on a non-exchange based server and you won't have the .pst/.psd file size limitation. Then you too can have a 20 GB email archive going back 10 years just like mine!!!!! Seriously, y'all do an awesome job.
