I'll take McCain over Obama
I think I have decided even though I'm not fully in support for McCain I would take him any day over that useless Change of a person Obama who all he says is change for this and change for that but never offers how he is going to make the change. For that, I vote for McCain so I can vote against Obama

Unemployment extensions 39 weeks now, what a joke!!!!
What really gets me is Rep. Sander Levin (D - Michigan) and Rep. Peter Welch ( D- Vermont) and the rest of the Democrats in Congress who want to use our tax money and other savings, for the unemployed to stay unemployed. Just recently I was watching C-SPAN and listening to these baffling idiots say how extending the allowed time spans for an unemployed person to stay unemployed from 26 weeks (already past half a year) extend another 13 weeks equaling a grand total for someone to stay unemployed to 39 weeks. Yes 39 weeks almost 10 months. Now my question to you is how is giving money to someone going to help them get unemployed? How is this going to get us out of debit?
We can't sit and give people who don't work money and expect to make money and get out of debit, to get out of debit you have to sell products and export products while lowering our total imported products. One example of our debit going up is due to the amount of oil we import. Because of the price of oil we have to pay more and we spend more on the imported oil raising our debit. Now lets think about this.... If we can reduce our cost of oil and gasoline we can reduce the amount of money we spend, in return reducing the debit, and allowing companies and people to have more money to spend, allowing more people to get jobs, hence allowing our economy to flourish and grow.
Or we can listen to the democrat like Michigan Rep. Sander Levin who said how dare we even think about bringing oil into this debate about unemployment. What I ask Rep. Sander Levin is what he thinks the cause of this high unemployment rate is from? People..... everything we do this world revolves around energy, what we need to do is build more nuclear power plants, invest in researching new energy....... and here is an idea find new oil spots to drill at within our own country , allowing us to not depend on these middle eastern countries that make us pay $4 + on a gallon of gas. If we keep going the rate we are going we will be seeing $200 a barrel for crude oil, causing more people to not find new jobs because they can't afford the gas to go to job interviews or to even go back and forth to work.
What I'm trying to say is we can't just give money to people who our unemployed, it's not going to help people get a job by just giving them free money. This money should be put towards investing in new energy technology while also allowing us to drill within out own country for oil, The gas price is set based on the future if you did not know that, well you do now. If we say we are going to start drilling in America again for more oil, and allow new nuclear plants to be built in America we will then allow the price of oil and gasoline to drop to an affordable price. Drop our dependence on these middle easter countries and allow us to pull out of the wars going on there, not have our economy affected if someone dictator leader said he is going to blow up some other country. We will be Dependant on all this and again allow our debit amount to lower.Another idea we could sell oil to other countries again and oh my make a profit and allow new jobs to be created in America again!!
How Dare I say it, something to think about!!!!

Linux/ Computer Tip of the Day 4-26-08
This is a new feature of the blog I'm going to start. Every day a computer related tip will be posted giving tips, commands and much more, all helping you master your technical skills.
If you use Linux and like to have a clean system, you're going to love this tip. Lets start by cleaning out your temporary directory, the folder with all the junk from viewing pdf's & Images, etc. On some systems the directory is cleared when you restart the computer, or the programs clean up after themselves, in my case they don't. Hence every month I have to manually clean out the directory. If you want to do the same go into the /tmp file as root (so you have the privileges) then delete what's needed such as files in /tmp/kde-username (username as in your accounts name).

Make Sunbird shine with extensions
Sunbird, Mozilla's calendar application, supports extensions just as Firefox and Thunderbird do. What kind of extensions work with a calendar? How about being able to get a weather forecast when you're setting up a golf date, or exporting your desktop calendar to a Web service?

Business communications Tech style
With new technology you notice everything changes; from the way we dress, go to work, and how we pass our free time, all the way down to getting a job and communicate with friends, family and relatives. Thanks to technology we evolve and make our life easier, benefiting us within our careers. It allows us to get our names, and info such as resumes and cover letters to a greater amount of employers than before.
Sites such as Monsterjobs.com , Craigslist.com , careerbuilder.com allow us to reach out to those potential employers at a cheaper and much faster speed. It all helps you reach your career faster and find that great job you have been looking for. Just remember it's all about the communication skills you hold and how you decide to use them. These sites work greatly as long as you fill out the correct info and post it out for others to see. For example with Craigslist I posted my resume online for view and no latter then two days I got over ten E-mails offering positions at local jobs in my related field of web design.
It's also great to have connections with locals and people around the world, build up your contact list by posting on blogs and within forums related to you career area. The more people you come in contact and E-mail, the better off you are at finding a great job/ career. All these sites and applications that allow you to build up your contact list are great. Even if you have all these contacts keep in touch with them, see what's new and find if they know of any job opening's, or see if they are headed over your way sometime so maybe you could talk and hang out, possibly go for a round of golf.
Another great way to reach out to more people is get affiliated with a local political campaign and presidential campaign in you area. One example for me is working on the Mitt Romney campaign for 2008, it built up my contacts list greatly and got involved with local people who can open many doors when needed.
Don't forget it's not just about the websites and building the contacts that help, you need to be able to build up courage and contact these people, keep an up to date friendship with these contacts and also be able to communicate and talk clearly with them and use correct hand motion and dialog, dress correctly and show that you have self-confidence and can help show your views on a particular job..
You should use these techniques at all times even when your not looking for a job, you don't know what the will happen in the future, leading you into needing a job or who knows what may come from these friendships and contacts you make along your lifetime.

Mitt Romney True Republican Candidate supports Open Source
Mitt Romney/ ODF, OLPC, LinSpire's CEO, Fair Use Policy
On February 6th, 2008 Jamie Lees
After doing some research I found that Mitt Romney supported the One-Hundred dollar laptop project in September 2005, after filing education reform Legislation.
Picture of him with the Laptop
http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Image:OLPC-Negroponte_with_Senator_Romney.jpg
He also has Linspire's CEO Kevin Carmony helping on his Campaign. It also seems Romney knows a little bit about the Fair use Policy after Fox started telling candidates they could not use footage of theirs for the campaign videos,Romney said under the Fair Use of there site that his Campaign can use the videos of himself for his Advertisements.
Source to the Info on Romney vs Fox.
http://techdailydose.nationaljournal.com/2007/11/mitt_romney_tests_foxs_fair_us.php
Also Governor Romney in Massachusetts appointed Louis Gutierrez for implementing the ODF policy.
http://politics.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=06/01/31/0349223
Plus his views on the Economy and how business can grow in America and lowering taxes on business, and helping the economy get started again could help the growth of small Linux companies and business who support and rely on Linux.
Just a little research I pulled up that I hope would help some undecided voters that have not voted yet.
