  1. Obama + net neutrality = love. At least we don't have to worry about the government taking away our internets for another 4-8 years. yay! :luxhello:

     

    I think Net Neutrality is a bad thing for the simple fact that once the government has a power it rarely gives it back. So if the government regulates that the internet must be neutral, it's not so far away that the government is regulating other things to do with the internet.

  2. I also have the VModa's. They sound great. I don't have a problem with them falling out of my ear unless I accidentally yank on the chord somehow.

     

    Mine did start to fall apart, however it's only the silver casing at the base of the chord. It's basically a decorative piece that can slide up and down the chord but the mechanics of it stay in place and work fine.

     

    I will say though...that I don't feel like they are worth $100 (that's what I paid).

  3. I had mine for like...2 years I think? I stopped using the desktop and sold it to someone in this community. I don't even remember who it was actually...nor do I remember if I sold them the monitor or not.

    Either way, it was cheap and looked good (not spectacular, but good) and did what I needed it to do for 2 years.

     

    Was a 19" for $179 (when every other 19" was easily $250 or more).

  4. A typical 9 year old child shouldn't be talking about specific political candidates at all. They don't have enough knowledge of the world and can't associate with 90% of the issues so they shouldn't be wasting their time talking about it.

    Teach them the political system, teach them about the parties, teach them the history of this nation. Don't even touch the subject of current politics because they are only going to regurgitate what an adult told them to believe anyway.

  5. sooo...alot has been said in this topic.

     

    Here are my thoughts:

     

    1) Apple coverage is good. From my experience (though others have had different) if you take an Apple product that is busted to the Apple store within a year or so of its purchase, they will replace it for you with a refurbished product. If you buy the Apple Care protection plan (which can be purchased at any time, separate from the product and applied to the products serial number online) you will get 3 years of coverage. I don't think the 3 years coverage is worth it.

     

    2) Be careful about peripherals because certain ones won't work correctly with the newest iphones/touches. It looks like you already know that though.

     

    3) You will buy a Mac some day. You just got your entry drug into the Apple world. There's no going back.

  6. As if what comes out of the mouth of any President of the U.S. in matters of policy is their personal opinion anyway.

     

    A website intended to inform us of President Elect Obama's Administrations policies-to-be posted a message that freaked some of us out. We posted about it. The website was changed. People saw the changed website and told us we were crazy for thinking volunteer work was bad and we should calm down. We told them the site didn't originally say that and we don't know why it was changed. People are still telling us to calm down about the issue. We are thinking: "I am calm, not saying anything except that it used to say that and we don't know why it changed...this is awkward for someone..."

     

    There's a very simple explanation of this topic for you.

  7. fx, you're missing the point.

     

    Someone volunteering to help others. Good thing.

    Someone volunteering in return for tax credits, still a good thing.

    Someone being forced to do community service in return for a tax credit they may or may not need or want....very bad thing.

     

    You can blindly ignore those points if you want and tell me that I'm a bad person for not thinking volunteer work is good...you're the one who looks silly when you do that.

     

    What ZD posted in the first post is what the official website said. What Auggy posted is what it says now. I have no idea why they changed it but it doesn't change that the original intent is a horrible thing for this country.
