You forgot to provide a link

Sorry, but that's not even close. Not even the same league.

sorry, you said misusing a tragery???
Take a look around you buddy. The Texas oil-guy's war on Iraq had nothing to do with those terrorist attacks on the Trade Center; everybody knows that now, even the moron himself.

We're not that much more evolved from chimpanzees.

Some less than others.

this switching back and forth based on the task at hand

This is proof that chimps flip-flop!!

What is UP with the that "chimp" shit?

Well... www.bushorchimp.com ...?

... monkeys will be prevented from accessing the machines...
Which is un-constutional: Our president has the right to vote too!

... which leads me to plug my favourite political humour site

For those who haven't seen it before, it's hilarious. From the site: "Welcome to the "George W. Bush or Chimpanzee" webpage. This is a little project I decided to start once I realized how much George W. Bush looks like a chimpanzee. I'm not a member of any political party, and I have nothing in particular against the man. I just think he kind of looks like a chimpanzee. -Bill Feldspar"

Can you please be a bit more specific as to which chimp you are talking about?

I think we've found the culprit

sense

Well, we already know that this is true of the far right...

...and the other half thinks the president looks/talks like a monkey?

The half that doesn't think so apparently hasn't seen Bush or Chimp.

>every picture they get is near perfect

Except when he looks like a chimp.

dickheads like the parent being the standard by which humanity is judged.

It could be worse.

(Oh come on I had to, I just had to!) =P

Yeah, but I hear they are planning to hire George W early next year as CFO.

That ain't no monkey

Sorry, can't resist it, although he does say that his only point is that Bush really does look like a chimp. Then again, isn't Kerry being attacked because of his appearance?

Actually, that raises an important point. This system can identify a face, but does it identify only human faces? After all, chimpansees have many of the same facial characteristics as some humans.

I'm not a chimp, but !

Hint: the one with the necktie, that's George W.....

Sadly, it appears from this link that research is government sponsored.

A resounding YES

There was quite an extensive study on a high profile figure in US Politics, and the results can be viewed here

You may become a big leader.

CC.

First, calling W names will get you nowhere. If you are going to attack the person, go after him for his policies.

I was not name calling, just stating the fact that "W" has a face that resembles a chimp
and second I was not trying to get anywhere. I happy where I am now thank you ;-)

As for the politics, I will leave that to the people of the US of A.
I will only quote the saying "You may have different clowns, but the Circus is the same"

Thank you and do have a nice day.

And if you do every manage to build an idiot proof system, nature will respond by building a better idiot

Bush, who believes any regulation of business is socialistic if not outright communistic, according to an old Harvard business professor of his, [...]

You mean W actually met professors at those frat parties !?!

What if I don't want to give another corporation information about what I'm trading... [And several
other, equally valid points]

I want to expand on this, just a bit, to highlight the problem here.

It seems highly unlikely that the RIAA would allow the end-user to download their database of "song signatures" or hashes or whatever implements this, so that the end-user could filter songs locally, deleting unauthorized songs on the honor system. After all, if the RIAA trusted its customers -- and if the customers were trustworthy -- but that's all water over the dam, isn't it?

So clearly this means uploading either the whole song, or some derived signature, to RIAA, every time you want to trade the file. This means uploading not just music, but any traded file.

And this introduces a chilling effect on free speech. Because the files I might be trading -- or the samizdat that secret Falun Gong supporter Won Ma might be sending to his fellow Chinese dissidents -- might not belong to the RIAA, but might invite government scrutiny for being unpopular dissent.

Certainly, knowing that everything that was traded, from bootleg Pete Seeger protest songs to homemade iMovies juxtaposing images of George Bush and chimpanzees to recordings of parody songs about John Ashcroft's resemblance to Darth Vader, was reported to a central repository -- the RIAA copyright detecting server -- could make that repository an irresistible target of monitoring by unscrupulous government agencies interested in tracking dissent -- whether those agencies are in Beijing or Washington D.C.

Would a government employee or contractor, worried about maintaining a security clearance, feel as free to engage in lawful and even patriotic dissent if he was worried his bosses might be able to monitor the his trading, from his home, excerpts from the documentary Guns & Mothers to which the he had added his own commentary defending his Second Amendment rights? Of course he'd worry -- and thus be discouraged from exercising his constitutional rights under not only the Second but the First Amendment as well!

Might a closeted homosexual worry that trading documentary films about Mattachine Society founder Harry Hay could reveal his sexual orientation and make him subject to blackmail?

Might Christians living in a Muslim theocracy fear persecution for trading Bibles or Christian devotional music?

Having any central server aware of all file trading gives whoever controls -- or can subvert the security of -- that central server a far too broad window into the demographics, politics, proclivities, and beliefs of anyone trading files. While this would be a boon to marketeers, governments, and anyone else whose goal is manipulation and control, it must be anathema to anyone who values privacy and liberty -- from left wing "hippie" to right wing "gun-nut", from closted homosexual to crypto-Christian.

Whatever your politics, whether you trade files or not -- and, no, I don't --, this is something you must oppose, for it threatens the liberty of all of us.

Excuse me, are you saying that this man looks good anywhere?

Sir, may I ask what you have been smoking?

Curious George now lives in the White House.

Oh please. He has a country to run, possibly the most complex organization that ever existed. Keeping up with the news himself is a collossally bad use of his time -

So, do you think Bush kept up-to-date with the news before he got this complex job that needs overview and insight about the world affairs? The picture Bush himself paints in interviews (with pride it seems) is a guy who has his whole life only found time for sports on the TV or second rate movies (Chuck Norris) while newspapers are left unread. Or do you think generals become generals because they start as young lieutenent not worrying about any details.

"Mamma
the President's a fool
why do I have to keep
reading these technical manuals?"

What's cool here is that the chimpanzee on the front of the album actually looks like George Bush. Here! Further proof that the President's a fool.

Before you know it, they're going to sell ads at the top of the page that come up when you type keywords. Then they're going to add some to the side of the results pages! Then everyone will stop using google because it sucks so much.

Oh wait. They did that, and it works wonderfully. Google is already profitable. They don't need to (and won't) screw themselves with fake results (*) :)

(*) Actually sometimes the results are pretty bad because of annoying people link-spamming things. Like getting Bush's Bio to be the #1 result for miserable failure. Not that I like Bush or anything, but they should have made an I'm feeling lucky search of "George W Bush" go to this site instead. (SAFE FOR WORK, heh)

well he is

You're probably being sarcastic, but think about it.

Hell if the President and chimp in charge could get away with lying here what makes you think a corporation can't.

Insightful analogy.

Hmmm... I think you have the wrong president for a missing man-ape link.

yeah if you want monkey-like blank expressions, we can stick to the current president.

Except perhaps for unimportant jobs.

(Damnit, why didn't anyone take up my suggestion to buy low.iq and CNAME it to whitehouse.gov? Come on Iraqis, for once it's in your interests to cooperate with us.)

There's a debate going on right now here.

No human is just another monkey. Not even you.

no human?

You mean like this?

http://www.bushorchimp.com/

Based on this evidence, I'd say they've actually got a pretty good case.

Bush or Chimp ??

http://www.bushorchimp.com/pics.html

This is just the White House doing damage control.

Bush or Chimp?

Owww... he looks like a monkey, so that's a pretty serious slam. :)

You aren't the only one that thinks he looks like a monkey.

Bush or Chimp

can't remember when we (the US) adopted this tactic, but all of our nukes are intended to detonate at altitude. The theory is that the blast will cover more area anyway, and will be less likely to be deflected by large buildings or goegraphic features.

Anyway, after studying this tactic, we found that the fallout was reduced. Building better nukes further reduced the fallout. I don't know if it is just crap or what, but I have heard that a limited exchange would result in almost no fallout. After the inital gama-ray burst, the areas would be relatively safe to occupy. The only casualties would be the people who were incenerated, those who were unprotected from the gama-ray burst, and those that were burned too badly from direct exposure.

Of course, that could just be government BS.
