No, the point being is that I would want to take part (and have DJ experience), however as you've made it a requirement that SAM be used I can't take part, and neither can anybody else who is using an operating system other than Windows. Good luck with your project, I look forward to actually hearing a successful show - although I won't be holding my breath.

That's the unknown reason... SAM isn't any easier to use than any other platform independent internet radio broadcaster, just because the only broadcaster you feel comfortable with is SAM isn't a reason why you should cripple everybody else down to your low standards. Secondly, having any rules or regulations on something which has been tried *so* many times and has failed *so* many times is absurd, either set up your own server and let certain people connect to that and hope it succeeds, or let anybody host via their own computers and let the audience decide whether they want to continue listening. The simple fact is that with your system that you're proposing you have literally no control over your DJs, setting up rules that are impossible to enforce will only cause e-arguments, and most probably will lead to your whole idea falling down on it's self. Either way, try as you like. The e-drama of these radio stations is usually quite entertaining.

I'd be willing to join up with the spare time I've got... But you're demanding SAM for some unknown reason...

Excellent job, well done.

I personally wouldn't bother with any shots unless I had an underlying condition, and in that case I still would be hesitant about taking the shots even though there is a lot of evidence that states I shouldn't be. The simple fact is that the Government has made tremendous mistakes when it comes to this, and continues to do so. The pros of a shot don't measure up to the cons of the shot fucking up. -L

Lol.. It fucking sucks to be you.

They ran out of costumes so I got some silver bodypaint and went as the silver surfer... not very scary but it was cool. I'll upload pics soon.

Yeah, we're dressing up for halloween as you get money off on drinks and free admittance into the club.. It's all good fun.

You should look for warranty information, too.

The changes to the Nobel Committee within your time frame are insignificant to show bias, and not to mention how pointless it is for a Norwegian committee to be biased when it comes to political affairs that don't effect them in any reasonable way. I can only shrug off your claim of bias as an opinion with no pragmatic backing. Glad to know that unbiased people can't become biased, and that it takes entirely new people to make things become biased. If you could provide evidence as to why Ole Danbolt Mjøs, Berger Ragnar Furre, Kaci Kullman Five, Sissel Rønbeck and Inger-Marie Ytterhorn would all be bias, heck if even any one of the above would be bias at all against the democrats between 2006 and 2009, I'd be inclined to listen to you. The simple fact is that no republican president has received the Nobel Prize since 1909, so again I really see no reason for claims of bias against the republicans, all that I can note is that a bunch of republicans are butt-hurt that none of their presidents have won the prize in over a century.

Have you developed the bot any further?

I can't replicate the errors that you're getting, have you tried this on Linux too?

I'd follow the options that L.C. has already highlighted, and If you've had your HDD for only 8 months, it is more than likely still under warranty.

I can only shrug off your claim of bias as an opinion with no pragmatic backing. The very point is that if you're not declared as a POW, then the U.S. is allowed to commit interrogation techniques outside of the scope of the Third Geneva Convention, which is my damn problem in the first place. If you're going to sit there and argue that standing at attention or running a few miles is worse than the cruelties via enhanced interrogation techniques used in Gitmo, then all I have to say is that there must be something wrong with you. Add that to my other points, and I believe it's time for you to shut up. You either don't know what Wikileaks is, or are trying to find silly loopholes out of something which has been cited all over the news as being a real document used by prison guards, leading to water boarding as a torture method. Here's another link, just for the hell of it. I didn't see where I mentioned anything about routine video conferences, your sensationalist way of trying to belittle my points is just childish and on the whole, makes little sense whatsoever. There has been evidence, which even lead the US to admit there was prisoner abuse, even to the major cruelties as water boarding. And I need not mention how ironic it is that your Government has used illegal water boarding practices on inmates who, and I state again, have only been allegedly accused of terrorism - when not too long before three Japanese American citizens were hung for using the same practices on another person. 1 2 3 4. Thanks for the clarification.

Actually, no those reasons aren't enough to shut me up about that - the Geneva Convention was used as a loophole to imprison peoples who were I reiterate were allegedly accused of terrorism/had connections with al-qaeda etc., and therefore were often held purgatory for years before being found innocent. A classic example of this happening is when Mohammed Akhtiar was imprisoned for three years due to the completely false intelligence that American troops had when they dragged him out of his home in 2003, held him for three years in captivity where not only did he receive the first class Gitmo treatment from the guards, he was also attacked by the inmates as even they knew the U.S. Govt. had the wrong guy. The Geneva Convention not covering those America imprisoned for alleged terrorism is not a right for America to not provide competent tribunals, as it has done for years with Gitmo, and reinforces why closing Gitmo was an excellent time for those who give a shit about human rights.
-
Ehrm, no - he closed the facility which doesn't abide by the same rules and regulations as any other facility under American jurisdiction, and a high number of prisoners have already been moved to prisons within their own countries giving them the right to a fair trial - whereas in the case of Gitmo a lot of prisoners who were allegedly connected with terrorism weren't even entitled to protection from the Geneva Conventions. So, no I call bullshit to your watered down version of closing Gitmo - it's not political grandstanding, that is merely your opinion - which obviously differs from the clear majority of news outlets, political scientists and those who awarded Obama the nobel peace prize (which I have already mentioned, more than once, was not for actions he has made, but the actions that he is trying to - and succeeding to make). Also your point on 'as long as there are humans and war there will be enhanced interrogation techniques' is completely moot. I could write up a whole passage about how morally retarded it is to say something like that, but instead, “our ideals give us the strength and moral high ground” - Obama. If you think it's acceptable to use the enhanced interrogation techniques used in Gitmo, then you simply stand for what's wrong in humanity - no matter how you put it you're a dog if you can sink that low. Well maybe you should consider that non-proliferation isn't something that can happen over night, although you can't argue that he isn'tmaking progress. Reliable source to your claim please? Every site I've looked upon has noted that he is attempting to pull forces from Iraq, although it will be hard to, and he hopes to have the majority out by August 2010 (bearing in mind that's just under a year away). So you believe that there is a world of difference between talk and resolution - I believe that talking is the first step towards not just resolution, but progression. Although you say countries have publicly said that Obamas talk is cheap (I couldn't find anything about that, sources please?) - from what I could find plenty of credible pol.scientists/advisors would speak completely to the contrary, for example Aaron David Miller who has mentioned that Obama has already improved the atmosphere for cooperation with Russia, which is key to diplomatic efforts to curb Iranian and North Korean nuclear ambitions. So you say that it is not the spirit of the prize, do you believe that MLKJr also never deserved to win the prize - when he won it literally *no civil rights improvements were made, however he won it for a HOPE of peace - same story with Obama. As far as I can tell the majority of people believe that Obama may well deserve the prize further down the line, but not right now. If that's your interpretation of the spirit of the prize then so be it, although mine obviously differs.

You could probably do it in Python or Ruby, if you wanted.

I disagree with your premise, but even so, how are democracy and peace synonymous? If that were the case, one could never hope to have peace while there are non-democratic nations on the earth, like China, Russia and Iran (the people he's supposedly making peace *with*). I wasn't saying that democracy and peace were synonymous, I was suggesting that those with democratic traits are more likely to come to rational agreements as opposed to the nonsensical disagreements an oppressive dictator would ensue onto the people of his/her country, with that in mind are you suggesting that China, Russia and Iran are peaceful, free countries? Also, as I had already mentioned I am not as interested in politics as I once was, but what never happened at all? And to the whole 11 days into term line, I had already mentioned Nobel Committee head Thorbjoern Jagland said they "would like to support what he is trying to achieve".

In a recent story,BBC News asked why the prize had been awarded to Mr Obama less than a year after he took office, Nobel Committee head Thorbjoern Jagland said: "It was because we would like to support what he is trying to achieve". "It is a clear signal that we want to advocate the same as he has done" He specifically mentioned Mr Obama's work to strengthen international institutions and work towards a world free of nuclear arms. With this in mind, Obama noted that him receiving the Nobel Peace Prize was a 'call to action', if anything the prize shows that he is supported world wide by his actions. Would you like to mention somebody else who's done more for global peace recently? This comment is merely political bias, and easy to foresee. The Nobel Peace Prize has been awarded 90 times to 120 Nobel Laureates between 1901 and 2009 – 97 times to individuals and 23 times to organisations. It would only be ignorant to *ever assume that the prize is only significant to American politics, and it's no secret that the democrats are often well, more democratic and therefore more deserving of the prize. The fact is that Obama has done many things during the beginning of his political career, most of which were in the interests of diplomacy, human-rights and overall peacefulness show that Obama has done something. Some of which from the top of my head (and I don't really pay attention to politics anymore) include signing an order to suspend and shut down Guantanamo Bay detention facility ending the practice of “enhanced interrogation techniques”, of which are declared as inhumane by the United Nations; working towards nuclear non-proliferation and instituting an 18-month withdrawal window for combat forces in Iraq. These are all fully tangible accomplishments that Obama has achieved, and onto some more unquantifiable accomplishments; Obama has been taking steps to repair foreign relations through policy, and international conferences, and looking at another statistic: Obama now holds the record for most countries visited by any president during their first year. Rest assured these were not vacations but trips centered on the aforementioned international conferences, the G20 summit and the NATO summit. With all of this in mind it's blatantly clear that Obama has done something to deserve the Nobel Peace Prize, but ultimately in order for one to understand Obamas worthiness to the award, we should understand the spirit in which it was initially bestowed. If you read the Will of Alfred Nobel, you will notice the following exerpt: "[the nobel peace prize will be awarded] to the person who shall have done the most or the best work for fraternity between nations, for the abolition or reduction of standing armies and for the holding and promotion of peace congresses." - I think that alone shows that Obama is definitely 'worthy'.

"Installing was simple and easy since it was a fresh install, probably even better if you upgrade from vista, since windows7 backs up all your data from vista." - Chambahs Actually there have been a lot of problems with users upgrading with regards to data loss, I'd suggest backing everything up fully before you attempt any major upgrade. Edit: With regards to the quick launch of applications, rootbeer commented 'That's actually vista feature carried over.' - this is true, however it's actually an OS X feature called Spotlight that has been around since OS X 10.4, however on Win as far as I know this system is still based around Windows Search 4.0, which makes for very slow searches. When I used XP there was a better quick launch application out, I forget what it's called though... If it comes back to me, I'll post it up.

Nice vote options Sketter, perhaps you need to understand how to use the console or activity monitor or even if that's not enough the process manager in terminal before you make retarded statements showing your obvious incompetency in both OS X and Unix systems, idiot. Anyway, all around I think Windows 7 looks like a good operating system I've used it for a couple hours doing pretty mundane tasks that didn't really require me to push it's boundaries but ultimately for my own use it's no better than OS X, so I'm going to stick with Mac until it can't do something that I need it to do... If I were to switch from OS X today though, I'd still go Linux and if that's not an option go XP, unless the reviews do stay positive. (When they first released Vista, there was nothing but positive reviews at first... I'm also not sure I agree with their prices)
