    I installed linux the other day.

    It didn't detect my sound card, a creative audigy gamer. So no sound or music.

    It detected a video card but it's not MY video card. So no games.

    It detected my ethernet card but couldn't initialize it. So no network or internet.

    Basically I'm now stuck with a 2gig copy of vi.

    Linux is worthless.

    serious desperados, are they knot?

    we're building a vessel that floats on almost any suBStance.

    that's right. you/we cannot afford the badtoll that lies ahead, should the greed/fear based georgewellian fuddite execrable fail to be neutralized.

    it's also correct that. J. Public et AL has yet to become involved in open/honest 'net communications/commerce in a meaningful way. that's mostly due to the MiSinformation (?pr? ?firm? FUDgePacking(tm)) suppLIEd buy phonIE ?pr? ?firm?/stock markup FraUD execrable, etc...

    truth is, there's no better/more affordable/effective way that we know of, for J. to reach other J.'s &/or their respective markets.

    the recipe is:

    consult with/trust in yOUR creator. vote with yOUR wallet. more breathing. seek others of non-agressive intentions/behaviours. that's the spirit.

    use key words/indexing to identify yourself/your products.

    the overbullowned greed/fear based phonIE marketeers are self eliminating by their owned greed/fear/ego based evile MiSintentions. they must deny the existence of the power that is dissolving their ability to continue their self-centered evile behaviours.

    as the lights continue to come up, you'll see what we mean. meanwhile, there are plenty of challenges, not the least of which is the planet/population rescue (from the corepirate nazi/walking dead contingent) initiative.

    EVERYTHING is going to change, despite the lameNT of the evile wons. you can bet your .asp on that. when the lights come up, there'll be no going back, & no where to hide.

    we weren't planted here to facilitate/perpetuate the excesses of a handful of Godless felons. you already know that? yOUR ONLY purpose here is to help one another. any other pretense is totally false.

    pay attention (to yOUR environment, for example). that's quite affordable, & leads to insights on preserving life as it should/could/will be again. everything's ALL about yOUR motives.

    take care, we're here for you.

    57 million means nothing. Most people don't vote. Trying to draw a parallel between the two doesn't mean anything.

    Um, the US has a bunch more citizens than the number that voted in the last election. Look here.

    According to these numbers, less than 20 percent of the population uses file sharing services - and I doubt that ALL of the people who use file sharing services use them for illegal purposes - either using them to transfer personal data, downloaded it and installed it but don't use it anymore, etc. I'd be really curious to know exactly how The Yankee Group established those statistics and who funded the study.

    In the meantime, did you know the War on Iraq is just about equal in cost to WWI? And is more expensive than all of our wars prior to WWI plus Desert Storm combined? And that the whitehouse says that George Bush's $87 Billion is anywhere from $55 to $75 billion too little? (The plan is that the french, germans, and russians will pay the shortfall.)

    The anger has less to do with the electoral college and more to do with the incredible discrepencies and shady goings-on that overshadowed Florida. There were reports of entire districts being turned away at the polls. The state of Florida admitted to not only having a truckfull of ballots go completely missing for a matter or hours, but that they also completely lost a few of them. Add in 1 Catherine Harris coming up with creative ways to avoid, omit or close down recounts and 1 supreme court which, in its incredible fairness, stopped the entire process until it decided on the case, and then gave them 2 days to finish it after that.

    On top of all that, Earlier in the day I had already checked Florida off because every single exit poll had Gore completely clobbering Bush. Those are the things that the public should be outraged about, not the electoral college, and I think that those who are complaining are complaining about that.

    Bush and Company are getting away with setting things up for a final land grab and many others are trying to secure their fortresses against the masses too as times progress. Biblical times again .. Time for mass awakening to a socialogical event that our culture just has not fully vaccinated itself to yet.

    But we don't need purity, we just need existance .. rough and tumble enough so a bloke can let go of the dreams of being able to control everything. And not so bad that we cannot find our space to live and work, play.

    After wading through the symbolism and tossing aside the illusions, when struck with the cold logic of what our actions will cause our futures to be. Too much self-induced exile from reality, reality as it is without humanities constructs. Balance dude .. take a walk, sip some water .. just relax for a while and realize the physical symptoms of stress.

    btw .. I heard Bill Joy speak a few months ago about his grey goo fears, and the fears in general of those who have opened their eyes to the possible futures of class civil wars and anarchy as the social systems fail miserably. If you are reading this you have to have a little faith in humanity.. if you want to play Hari Seldon then that's cool, a lot of us are doing it but it is just a story, ya know.

    Disclaimer: I voted for neither Bush nor Gore.

    Election process 101 for the 80 millionth time: We don't have a popular vote. We don't have one because we didn't count one. If a state has 5 million registered voters, they stop counting the votes after they count 51% of that total for any one candidate. This means that the remaining 49% of votes were never counted by CNN or anyone else.

    Further compounding the problem (for those of us who don't like Bush) is another little detail of the process - that is - the counting of absentee ballots. Absentee ballots are always counted last because they are labor intensive to count. In the example state mentioned above, not a single absentee ballot would have ever been counted.

    Why is that statistically significant? Because the overwhelming majority of absentee ballots are cast by overseas military personnel, who vote Republican by something like a 2 to 1 margin. A given state would have to count up all its regular ballots and still not have a 1% victory margin for either candidate to even open the first absentee ballot. This means that almost no overseas military votes got counted in the "popular vote" of the 2000 presidential election, and if there were such a count, it would demonstrate a clear Bush victory.

    Now, move on with life, and get your people talking about freedom rather than rubber stamping whatever the **AA happens to shit out so that I can vote for something besides a warmongering idiot in the next election.

    Although it *does* beg the question: if a 12 year can't assume debt, then how exactly did they get her name in the first place?

    People, please stop using the term "begs the question" to mean "brings up the issue of" or anything of that nature. To "beg the question" is essentially to have an argumant such that p->q, where p and q can be themeselve complex propositions, but all comes out true, i.e., it is a tautology. (for those with no discretion whatsoever, a tautology is basically a circular argument.)

    So, please please please for the sake of the preservation of all subtelty in language, remember simply that "beg the question" is a statement of logical nature, and a negative one at that. To beg the question is to argue from a logically falacious posistion, to be inherently wrong in your thinking about an issue. It is not merely a "hey, if you're gonna talk about this, make sure you consider this other thing as well, 'cause they're related."

    please.

    Oh, and a +5 interesting? Are moderators insane? Yes! Why? becasue only insane people moderate. Now there is an example of begging-the-question.
