Open for Questions: The State of the Union

[VlcakStalker]

Throwing more money at education won't fix the problem. Japan's education is vastly superior to ours yet their government spends much less on education.

[retroact1ve]

haha so full of it... you may believe the bs you are spouting but it certainly is filled with lies.

[gdepriest]

I ha ve been out of work for over a year now. I have attended college and have a degree since loseing my job. My employer shutdown and moved out of the country. Since that time they have recalled some employees and I was not called. I am much more qualified than those recalled and now have a college degree. I am an avid Obama supporter, this is in a major republican workforce. I feel this was a consideration that has kept me from being offered employment. What options do I have?

[ashkanlion23]

fuck.

[gustrapos]

Tell Obama he is too nice to those republicans...Why??

[TylerBorden17]

The president is a leader, not a boss. *.BEHOLD, I AM COMING SOON.

[clnmyjts]

As technologies move forward jobs come to a end.

The cell phone has become a all in one communication device. Web sites like youtube are replacing mainstream media.

As more & more of our daily idem`s become a multi funtion tool human laybor & manufacturing will decrease.

The medical fields are also becoming effected threw advanced technologies.

Welcome to the future where nothing is certian.

[beancube2010]

Which one is better to loan to, small businesses or ordinary consumers, when the consumer market is sluggish? When they get the loan, would they motivate American's local production or would they just go ordering foreign products? Most troubling countries like us don't have desire to produce, they all focus on cost cutting,

[bweazel]

Bwahaha, the white house uses apple. Oh that's great. Hopefully that fad pos wasn't purchased with tax payer dollars.

[whereismybailouttv]

Some universities offer free tuition for some middle to low level income students. Why can't all schools do that? Other countries do this with no problem.

[geofiles]

To all intents and purposes our elected representatives within the Democratic Party are no longer following in the time-honored footsteps laid down by the founding fathers of our great Nation. In fact, we as democrats see our elected representatives within the Democratic Party abandoning the principles and values as set forth within the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution of the United States.

[geofiles]

WAKEUP AMERICA

Without doubt a large majority of our Democratic Party representatives in Washington are tainted by corruption, and the liberals among us are supporting socialist radicals with their agendas based on moving our Nation deeper into a socialist form of government. This is a real threat to everything we hold sacred in America, and they are gaining evermore control over our Democratic Party, our Nation, and the American people.

[TylerBorden17]

1. By the people, of the people, and for the people.

2. Leave the constitution alone.

3. Legalize marijuana, or at least tell us the REAL reason why you wont.

4. Let us all be free.

5. End the war. What are you accomplishing?

6. Use your brain. We have it for a reason.

7. The land of the free, the home of the brave. BEHOLD, WE ARE COMING SOON

[TheIrocube]

behold we are coming soon?

civilians going to rise over the government or something?

[TylerBorden17]

Every beginning must have an end.

[VlcakStalker]

@TylerBorden17

What are you accomplishing? The answer is squashing democracy and enforcing compliance with the American Empire.

[MadMAn12gauge]

If middle class citizens keep getting screwed over and civil war breaks out i will gladly join in with my fellow middle class citizens and take all the upperclass bracket out of the equation period in a revolution just so that the majority of americans can all live the good life instead of lining the pockets and funding rich people so they dont have to work hard like the rest of us...Balance is needed and obama is helping progress in that direction, so stop being a punk ass blind idiot

[geofiles]

Obama is a hard-core socialist, and said the Constitution is flawed.

We as Americans love our country and we do not want corrupted, dishonest and socialist liberals like President Obama making radical changes within our government, especially when it curtails taking away our individual Liberty and Freedom.

[MadMAn12gauge]

i dont care what obama is or isn't the fact of the matter is you dipshit, america has a congress that has to govern a balance between the Middle class and the upperclass citizens, like it or not the middle class has been shafted up the rear without lube, while the upperclass reaps all the Benefit...If it takes socialism to create a balance of the middle class and upperclass then so be it, its better than the middle class starting a civil war revolt.which is the way would be headed if no change.

[geofiles]

We listen to our Democratic Party representatives in Washington act as though they have a record of accomplishment. We watch them bickering like little children as they posture and spin trying to make themselves look responsible. But in reality, our Democratic Party representatives in Washington have only made success through bribery. What? Yes, bribery. When you buy people off with money, that is bribery, and it has clearly become our Democratic Party specialty.

[geofiles]

AMERICA WAKUP

Obama is a hard-core socialist, and said the Constitution of the United States is flawed.

We as Americans want 'Change We Can Believe In', but not at the expense of undermining and destroying our American democracy as founded in protecting individual liberty and freedom. Above all, we want Obama to honestly abide and follow in the footsteps of our founding fathers in providing us with change without eroding and violating the Constitution of the United States.

[luckiest7777777]

Why don't you tell us the REAL reason the government wont legalize marijuana?

The following promise on concurrent receipt was broken when the

full restoration of concurrent receipt was deleted from the 2010 National

Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), recently signed into law.

REMARKS BY THE PRESIDENT

AT THE VETERANS OF FOREIGN WARS CONVENTION We're also keeping our promise on concurrent receipt. My budget ensures that our severely disabled veterans will receive both their military retired pay and their VA disability benefits.

[memama2]

Watch Youtube video: Glenn Beck Show January 29, 2010 Part 1 (see the President calling himself a "progressive" over and over and what the round table of historian authors has to say)

[blueshadow1996]

This is great for the people to contact and ask the President a question.. There will be a rebound in the economy,but most will be in different fields. The tax credits would be great for new ventures,with different products. I would like to come down into the States to build a product that will be exported rather quickly and would have to be mass produced..,Sure looking forward to moving into the US..What would the Whitehouse feel about immigrants coming with only an Idea..A great idea.?

[wordprophet]

Sorry I couldn't watch this whole video. If I want to be entertained by liars, I can just watch CNN... :)

[bweazel]

Haha. So well put. You can tell they don't believe a word they're saying.

[travel1949]

YEA,YEA its all Bushes fault obama had nothing to do with mess,ask barney fife and all his cohorts,WAH,WAH, also Government will NEVER create jobs,only PRIVATE COMPANIES will create JOBS

[francisstack28]

This was very informative. You are 3 very talented young people and Its great to see some of the people who make the Executive work. Dispit all the anger in the comments & the media I hope you continual to talk to us by youtube & facebook and let us know what's going on in the Whitehouse. Thank you.

[momzilla57]

will you invite some real people to camp david for a week and us real people will explain to you how to get the economy straight....try getting real, down to earth people on your advisory commitee and give you some tough love . simple easy , you don't write a check you do not have the funds to cover.you cut back, pull your belt a little tighter and do a little sacrifice.real people do it every day,bullcrap spending needs to stop.

[pakarpis]

@momzilla57 England did as you said and their economy is a mess right now.

You need to learn how economics work it is not the same as the household budget.

[eurohim]

They just need a few Austrian Economists there to point out that there are no animal spirits and the boom and bust cycle is a result of easy money and inflation.

[momzilla57]

money is money and it is what you do with it and how you manage it that makes a difference.learn economics? you do not finace other countries economies when your own is in the crapper.you do not spend like there is no tomorrow hoping that things will get better.you do not take out loans you know you can not pay back ....time to get back to common sense... quit putting my tax dollars in the hands of people that have no interest except to line their own pockets.

[momzilla57]

why do you lie?change your story?do you not know there is video? and since you love so much to talk on tv then you know you can go back and review previous speeches and compare to the next....you lie, then you tell another lie to cover that one .... tell and hear a lie long enough and you begin to believe it.

[peaceluvnwar]

hey obama in case you dont know...momzilla is quoting HITLER!

[D9hazeTHC]

Why did you flood your administration with lobbyists?

Does furthering the North American Union help to enforce or dismantle our borders?

So This Is How Liberty DiesWith Thunderous Applause

-Padme Amidala, Star Wars, Episode III: The Revenge of the Sith

Why did WallStreet donate 4x as much to your campaign than McCain?

Could these incentives be carbon taxation with cap & trade?

[D9hazeTHC]

Spending freezes are a calling card for countries that are positioning themselves for an IMF bailout. Get ready for the dump of the dollar.

The Senate (elected by the people of the United States), blocked a bill, so you will pass an executive order to bypass the legal process? Mr. Obama declares himself a dictator, and continues George Bushs practice of signing statements, which Mr. Obama decried while on the campain trail.

[D9hazeTHC]

Youve recovered most of $24 trillion?! Can we have some of it back, please?

Obama admits that he is continuing Bushs policies, AND resorts to using George Ws excuses for losing popularity, I do it because its right, not because its popular. Why?

Mr. Obama, on the campaign trail you said that NAFTA was a mistake. Then you did everything you could to continue the practice of exporting American jobs overseas.

Did you just say Global Economy? We were waiting for you to say it.

[ShooterMaGavin]

Below I meant 100 per city atleast

[ShooterMaGavin]

Legalize and decriminalize marijuana, would create 5 million + Jobs and lots of taxes. You are a fool if you think otherwise. Atleast 100 new buisness would open and they would need some growers, and all the former illegal weed salesman could get jobs as delivery drivers :)

[dino2034]

i really think there are some people on a payroll to troll youtube and other internet platforms to undermine obama's authority. there like traitors: they don't care whether it's truthful or correct what they're saying - they only care about the few dollars that will go into their pockets - even if it undermines their own society.

[Cutchswife]

Yes, but if the small businesses are cutting back they aren't going to hire whether they get tax breaks or not because they'll want to maximise profits. I think it is time to get those 'green jobs' up and running and to hard-pressed communities like those in Michigan.

[jensen1901]

I love how hateful retards such as "RebelRouser" can't even spell "bastard" yet they are just confident Obama has no birth certificate. Stupid fucks. You think the McCain campaign and Hillary somehow missed that? No. They both spent tens of thousands looking into it and they both found out the truth--Obama was born in Hawaii.

DEAL WITH IT CONS AND STOP THE LIES, HATE AND CRYING.

[pw2eHad2]

Nice video. Thank you for uploading =)

[shooter348]

My question is how effective is freezing the federal budget going to be after needlessly pissing away 2 trillion? I admit it's a step in the right direction but I wish he would have had this change of heart about 14 months ago.

[shooter348]

@RebelRouserMC Kenya doesn't give out birth certificates

[EcrossH]

It sure would be nice if the Republicans would start fixing America's health, (clean) energy independence, and economic problems instead of wasting our time trying to wrestle for power. It would also be nice if half the democrats would grow a spine and a set of balls and do the same.

[memama2]

were these students brain washed by Bill Ayers BEFORE they got hired here?

[memama2]

.... hey you guys go to "Western Journalism" web page and read up on the article: "The Mystery Of Barack Obama Continues" ....shows the piles of files that have been taken and hidden and also the FAKE? Selective Service Card that team Obama messed up on - and did not worry about = UNTIL NOW

[memama2]

= do you believe that Obama has passed off some 6th graders here to tell "us dunces" his dogma? YOU GOTTA BE KIDDIN ME! ......... this is a dog and pony DIM drone show right here! .......  is this how an AMERICAN President tells people his military plans? How about ADDING ON some actual Generals and Commanders in The field? .... this shows the ridiculous irresonsibility of this administration. Delegating QUESTIONS to minions that OBAMA needs to answer. Obama gotta GO = SOON AS POSSIBLE

All right, got through the first question. Why did the nice lady spend four minutes not answering her damn question: "Will the reform of student loans only affect future students, or will it also apply to students who already have loans?". It can be answered in 10 seconds or less.

[MishuTaste]

When will the war in Iraq be over?

[Janet1dugger]

Ex-offenders- There is a need for persons coming out of penal institutions to gain employment. What proposals and initiatives,if any, are designed to create jobs for ex-offenders?  It is difficult to place them on jobs. There is a stigma and it needs to be broken some how.

[GangstaGriIIz]

where is the change

[Italian2510]

It's coming, in the form of bad, Chicago-style politics. Who said change was good? Whoever it was, he/she was a moron. I'll keep my change Obama, thanks for the offer though.

[Janet1dugger]

Economic problems need resolutions -We can come out of them with teamwork! At least President Obama is open to public feedback. Utilize positve feedback twith him and team to assist in positive resolutions not vulgar language. Thank you.

[bluffdweller1]

I wouldn't let Sara "dumbass " Palin be put in charge of a middle school bake sale.

[sigmundphreud]

Know why we are now losing fewer jobs?

There were only a finite number to begin with, after the "Dam Broke" the flood of job loss was full on! Now we have fewer to lose it's a "trickle".

[songofanime]

Do you approve of bi-catch?

[CaptainKhrenov]

Has anyone really been far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like?

[Italian2510]

In addition to wondering how Obama kept such a straight face through his lies for about a little over an hour, I'm wondering why the guy on the left is sitting in front of a $1000 + Macbook. I'm glad this stimulus money is going to a good cause, buying new Macbooks for his administration. Yeah, that's certainly helping the economy (sarcasm). Was Windows or even Linux (which is a FREE OS) not good enough? If you're going to pass a stimulus, at least spend it right. Palin 2012!

[pinochet222]

8/10

[Exmech2]

First, is it his own laptop? or bought by the government? Second, Linux has been around for 20 years, has captured less than 5% of the market, and, as you pointed out, is free! There's a reason it isn't popular. It's freakin useless.

Third, Palin? PALIN? Are you an idiot? Some twit that thinks dinosaurs roamed the earth with humans?!?!

[Italian2510]

I'm assuming it's his work laptop bought by the government. After all, he is using it at work. I suggested Linux as a viable option in a suffering economy. But first and foremost I mentioned Windows because I know Linux is too complicated for the average person.

Palin is certainly smarter than this guy. This guy can't fix an economy if he tried. Palin is a Reagan Republican, and last time I checked, Regan fixed the economy last time. continued...

[Exmech2]

Linux isn't complicated, it's useless. There are only so many scientific calculators needed. Oh, so Reagan's bailout of the super rich, known as "Trickle Down", 'fixed' the economy? Do you actually think the economy flows to the will of just one man?

[pinochet222]

Leave Linux alone, dumbass! It's a complete and totally usable, virus and botnet free operating system (and, btw, has nothing to do with this political shit)

try Ubuntu(.)com

[Exmech2]

Linux is virus free? Look up PRCTL. Besides, if you make a virus you make it for a comp that people are actually using.

Linux is to OSs what Yugo is to cars.

[pinochet222]

Well, you are simply a moron. Enjoy your botnet and viruses on that non-free piece of shit that you're using.

[Exmech2]

Lolz! Typical penguinhead whining!

[pinochet222]

Are you proud of being an ignorant and stupid person? I'll keep my freedom, thanks.

[Exmech2]

Yep! That's what all the Yugo owners say. Though, I have to admit, I do have a Yugo in the garage (trans: a Caldera box). I'll stick with cars that can actually drive, and OSs that can actually do things. But, you're right, you're free to live in a cave. Good luck with that.

[pinochet222]

LOL, so much ignorance in this ridiculous post.

I bet I'm at least 10 times more productive than you are.

Nowadays Linux can do everything, I mean, EVERYTHING.

What the hell is Caldera???? Some ancient crap?

I told you, go to Ubuntu(.)com and install it for free on your PC - you'll be amazed.

Or just wink to your Chinese overlords, or whatever, silly person.

They hacked even Google, you think YOU are safe? LOL

[Exmech2]

Somehow, I doubt your 'productivity'. But anyway, you do realize that Google wrote their own server software, right? Anyway, have fun with your Yugo.

[pinochet222]

LOL Google - there was a security flaw in Internet Explorer, dumbass. It was even in the News, that's how they got hacked!

Well, It's your choice if you want to continue living in 1989 LOL

But then don't pretend that you know what you're talking about!

[Exmech2]

You don't really believe that Mozilla, Opera, and Chrome are 100% secure, do you? Again, to point out, one attacks something that is actually being used, and a user needs only so many scientific calculators. Which is about all Linux good for. Outside of being a web server.

[pinochet222]

At least some are peer reviewed by many programmers (open source, you know) and if vulnerabilities are found, the fix comes out pretty quickly!

"Which is about all Linux good for"

And apparently your mom was only good for producing complete morons, which are simply incapable of updating their "knowledge" acquired decades ago and form opinions based on facts and evidence LOL

I see you are a Creationist asshole too - you sure behave like one.

[Exmech2]

4 years is pretty quickly for you? I'll also note your frequent use of insults. Probably means you're a kid. Still, people who are in the field want a tool that actually works. Linux has its use. A very limited one. So, instead of whining about linux to me, why don't you go and get your devenv open and actually try to make the damned thing work. It'd be nice if someone did!

[pinochet222]

Linux desktop is reality now. It's better, safer, faster than anything Microsoft can produce. Works right out of the box, does everything you would expect from a good OS, is intuitive and even my mom uses it LOL (but you can't)

Welcome to 2010 .... have to been in a coma for decades?

Try it and see for yourself! I rest my case.

[Exmech2]

Listen, you guys have had 20 years to get an OS that could run things like Labview out of the box, just like Windows, Mac, and Solaris. Postgre and MySQL STILL can't do indigenous OLAP. My concerns are real. 20 YEARS of development! I can use linux. I've developed for linux. But I will NOT recommend opensource to any business, except as a web server.

[pinochet222]

"My concerns are real"

Sounds like nitpicking, actually!

I'm not into your stuff (which is quite weird), but ... I'm sure you could find viable alternatives on Linux for anything you use!

"LabVIEW is a proprietary product of National Instruments. Unlike common programming languages such as C or FORTRAN, LabVIEW is not managed or specified by a third party standards committee such as ANSI."

[Exmech2]

There's a reason the Linux community (especially ubuntu) were so hot to get Labview running on their OS. There are no viable alternatives for it. We all know Oracle and SQL Server blow Postgre and MySQL out of the water. That's the thing though... you KNOW linux has its limitations on what software is available for it.

[pinochet222]

It's strange that you would expect your proprietary, non-standardized crap software to be fully supported by anybody in the free software community.

Again, I don't use it, but it's usually the manufacturer's fault or negligence (put shortly, if they wanted it to work on Linux - it would work)

And yes, this looks like even more nitpicking. Very few people use Labview, dude.

[Exmech2]

"Very few people use Labview, dude"

Yer right. Only the entire Aerospace, and R&D industry. Most of the science community. Yeah, very few people. Labview is crap? AutoDesk? MatLab? Oracle? The world runs on these apps. Yet they're crap in your eyes! Very telling.

[pinochet222]

"Most of the science community"

Then you're clearly not part of it:)

[Exmech2]

"Then you're clearly not part of it:) "

lulz! You have no clue!

[Italian2510]

Google uses it and as I've said, their new Android OS is opensource. If I'm not mistaken, Google is a fortune 500 company with a current stock price of $534.29. So far, it seems that they can only keep growing. Now tell me opensource operating systems are useless.

[Exmech2]

Google didn't get that stock price off of Android. But I am looking forward to seeing where Android will go. As well, since you mention Android, you do know it's a Mobile Phone OS, right? You won't be doing anykind of real data crunching with it.

Now tell me how useful opensource is when you have a few tera of data.

[Italian2510]

I'm just saying that Google is a major company and many of their projects, Android being among them, is opensource. I'm sure many of their corporate computers in addition to servers are opensource as is their new Chrome OS. So much for opensource being a useless scientific calculator, it landed Google a goldmine.

But Google isn't the only ones. More than likely, your cell phone is linux based. continued...

[Italian2510]

As the articles I showed you stated, many major production studios rely on Linux to edit and produce movies, not OSX. The other article said that an overwhelming amount of supercomputers run Linux while a very small fraction run Windows (and because OSX is only available for Apple computers as seen in the Psystar incident, I'm sure none run on OSX) . The PS3 is Linux based and clearly the most powerful gaming console to date. Need I mention that the PS3 can run Folding@home better than Windows?

[Exmech2]

First, I, personally, would have doubted ANY gigaflop comp would have used Windows. Second, you're mistaking using the Linux kernel for using Linux. There's a BIG difference. Third, the PS3 OS IS NOT opensource. It is proprietary.

[Italian2510]

but it is based on Linux and the fat PS3's have the ability to run Linux itself.

[Exmech2]

Proprietary (the kind your buddy called crap) BASED ON the linux KERNEL. Not running Linux. You're arguing apples and oranges. It's like saying OSX is Unix because the Kernel was based on NeXTSTEP. Doesn't work like that.

[Italian2510]

never said it was opensource

[Italian2510]

Obviously running Windows on a supercomputer isn't very practical, but then how do you explain why so many use the Linux kernal?

[Exmech2]

Kernel. Because it's one of the very few Kernels that have indigenous clustering abilities. Parallel systems are a must for gigaflop comps.

[Italian2510]

so now all of a sudden Linux has a purpose

[Exmech2]

No... the Linux Kernel has a (very limited)purpose. By a number of proprietary softwares. Linux, as an independent OS, is useless. Which is why you still want Windows on your system. You want to be able to actually do something.

This doesn't mean that OpenSource will finally get its collective shit together in the future. But it's been 20 years now.

[Italian2510]

No, I want Windows because, as you pointed out, each OS has its niche. I can do many things in linux that I can't do in Windows and vice-versa

[Exmech2]

And back to the original topic, since you now recognize that there a few things you can't do with Linux, why would you want the government spending a few million (or tens, or hundreds of millions) of dollars converting to Linux?

[Italian2510]

Because there are many things you can't do with a Mac too. I know all you Mac junkies think Steve Jobs is God, but c'mon. Macs too are very limited in their abilities. Steve Jobs isn't God for Pete's sake. The iPad is just a big iPod Touch. That's the best they could come up with, how original (sarcasm). As you've stated, every OS has its purpose. The guy in the video does not need a Mac to do a Q&A session. continued...

[Italian2510]

Linux would suffice there as would Windows. For what this guy is doing, almost any OS would work for him. I want my government to have the right equipment for the purpose. They did not have to dish out over $1000 for this guy to do a Q&A session and other business applications. As I've said before, what can a Mac do for THIS GUY that Windows or Linux cannot? The guy probably uses it to browse the web, type up some letters. I highly doubt his job requires a computer that does more than that.

[Exmech2]

Ok, so now you're making guesses at the guys job when you really don't know who he is, or what he does, or even if the administration paid for his system. You're conjecturing far too much. This is telling. Fortunately, you're not in government.

[Italian2510]

As I've said, wasting money on a Mac for this guy is overkill. He doesn't need it. For the differences between OSX, Windows, and Linux, I'm sure they wouldn't make a difference in this guy's eyes. It's people who work with computers for a living or hobby that will require a specific OS. Again, I'm sure all this guy's job requires is a computer that can browse the web and has access to an office program.

[bloodgulch1]

So you think because PALIN is a republican she will be able to fix the economy? so basically being a republican gives presidents some kind of superpower to restore the nations wealth? Reagan was a smart man, I cant say the same for Sarah Palin. Puting someone like her in charge of our nation is pretty much commiting an economic sucide. And Im sure the Macbook belongs to him not government issued.

[Italian2510]

Thank you pinochet! It's nice to know somebody else has a brain about computers too.

[Italian2510]

Ok, Linux has a few viruses, but according to your logic, it should get less than a Mac, and you would be right.check out iantivirus[.]com/threats

With that respect, Linux is much cheaper for the government to run than both Windows and Macs.

[Exmech2]

Cheaper than what? Spending more money on outsourcing things that Linux can't do? Resupplying the entire govermnet with new computers and software just because linux is free? Retraining everyone in Government to use the new linux opensource crap? You haven't thought this one through.

[Italian2510]

First off, as I said, I simply suggested Linux as an option, but Windows was my first recommendation. Windows first, then Linux. Anything is better than spending unnecessary money on overpriced Macs. Besides, it wouldn't require everyone to get new computers, just when people need new ones, then install Linux on the new ones. I'm sure not ALL government computers are Macs. It's not as involved of a process as you make it out to be.

[Exmech2]

The guy's in media. I really can't blame him for getting a Mac. Remember, every OS has its purpose.

You see, I actually want my government to have decent tools. There are VERY large corporations (I won't name any, but they are worth more than MS on the nasdaq) that are still using paper accounting for many purposes. These guys are running the country. I WANT them to have the best tools available.

[Italian2510]

Lets see, so according to your logic, these "mystery corporations" are so good that they don't even need a computer. So you want the government not only to have computers, but to have some of the most expensive personal computers on the market? Am I missing something here?

[Exmech2]

No, according to my logic the "mystery corporations" are wasting a lot of money. To their credit, many of them realize this but aren't willing to spend the few million it would take to update. As well, I didn't have the most expensive computers. I said, latest tools. Metlife doesn't have launch codes, or represent the US, so I couldn't care if they're still using COBOL.

[Italian2510]

Just FYI, remove the brackets ( these things [ ]) from the link. Youtube blocks hotlinking for whatever reason.

[Exmech2]

I've been in IT for a really long time. Every purpose has its OS. Video/Audio... Mac. Web Server, Linux or Unix. Scientific apps, Solaris. Gaming and general business apps, Windows. Look up Wordstar and see how expensive it could be for the US to retrain everyone for Linux.

[pinochet222]

"I've been in IT for a really long time."

And guess what, your knowledge is spectacularly outdated, you clown.

[pinochet222]

It's impossible to measure true "market stats" of a freely downloadable product, you clown.

As I told you before - try it and THEN talk! Because right now your ignorance is simply astounding and everything you know is brutally outdated.

It's as if you have been brainwashed 20 years ago into Linux-fobia and just can't get over it. LOL As a last resort, try to get mental help, old fella.

[Exmech2]

Umm... yeah. You open source geeks fix that nasty Labview+DAQmx problem yet? no? Yepper! Didn't think so. Since it was discovered in, what, 2005... you'd think Ubuntu would have gotten around to it by now.

[Italian2510]

I have to agree. How can he call it a useless OS if he hasn't tried it? I don't have Linux installed on a computer myself, but I have used a Live CD (I needed a Linux Terminal to hack my Archos 5 MP3 player) and overall, I was very impressed by Ubuntu 9.10. When I buy a new laptop this coming August, I'm making sure I get a huge hard drive so that I can partition it to run Linux and Windows comfortably.

[Exmech2]

Why would you want Windows?

[Italian2510]

Why would you want OSX?

Spending our way out of economic troubles never worked. The New Deal was a flop, the only reason we got out of the Great Depression was WWII. So why is this stimulus going to work now? We need fiscal policies, not a shopping spree.

why is the guy siting infront of a laptop??? realllyyy???? Because the guy can afford a Macbook means is not spending is money right?? Ok, i have a 1200 barebone gaming computer...do u have a problem with that? AND PALIN 2012??? What the fuck is Palin going to do to fix american problems?? I'll only vote for her if she learns how to put together a reason specch. You and her have some much in common no wonder you voting for her.

Agree we have many more options than what the Media is feeding us for the next President

[Italian2510]

That laptop is more than likely government provided for work use. I highly doubt it is his own. Other than the fact that I think you need a life away from video games, I don't have a problem with your $1200 gaming computer. I have a problem when the government spends $1000 for this guy's Macbook when a $500 Dell or HP will do the same job. Hello, we're in a recession, this isn't time for a shopping spree! continued...

@Italian2510 = Michelle Obama charges the Taxpers over 2 MM a year for her hairdos makeup and a "dresser" to stuff her into those " FRHONCH" designer dresses ~ she is so fond of ! ...... ( the co$T of the clothes is a seperate item) And you exclaim: "OVER 2 MILLION per year? " Answer: ...WEE WEE

What's up with the defense spending? Srsly. Why spend money on those 700+ military bases around the world?! The Soviet Union is gone, who do you want to fight??

The other questions, has anybody ever seen Obama's balls? 'Cause he sure acts like he doesn't have them. That's all.

For the past 100 years or so, big business & the banking cartels with them have been chipping away at our constitution & its protections against their agenda which is profits at all costs. These activities have severely compromised our ability to maintain our union, insure justice, promote domestic tranquility, focus on domestic defense, promote the general welfare, & secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves & our posterity. They're a serious threat. How do you plan to reign them in?

[katey1dog]
