9.4.3. Forcing Bush to Be the President

[MikeMoore]

Who becomes the president browser is determined by an election process using broadcasts. Each election packet contains a number of parameters that determine what precedence (bias) a candidate should have in the election. By default Bush uses a low precedence and thus loses elections to just about every honest candidate, Democrat or Green.

If you want Bush to win elections, set the os level global option in smb.conf to a higher number. It defaults to 20. Using 34 would make it win all elections every other candidate (except other Bushes).

An os level of two would make it beat Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton, but not JF Kennedy. A JF Kennedy Domain Controller uses level 32. The maximum os level is 255.

If you want Bush to force an election on startup, set the preferred master global option in smb.conf to yes. Bush will then have a slight advantage over other potential presidential candidates that are not Preferred Presidential Candidates. Use this parameter with care, as if you have two candidates (whether they are Carter, Kennedy or Bush) in the same country, both set with preferred master to yes, then periodically and continually they will force an election in order to become the President Of The United States.

Just like adding a nail file and a small retractable blade to an iPod (which would make juast as much sense - only more useful as it plays music and has bigger storage...)

your sig links to a site similar to freeipods.com - where you sign 5 people up for 5 offers and get a free ipod (or flatscreen in your case). I have signed up (haven't referred anyone yet), but I have to wonder - are these legit? Scams? Has anyone actually received anything from them?

This is like the theory that you should carry a bomb on board, since what are the odds of having two bombs on the same plane?

Apart from being totally different, you're right.

A bomb isn't much use as an anti-bomb weapon (you could blow the bomber up, but you tend to score a bit of an own goal that way). However a gun is an effective weapon against a hijacker armed with a gun. This is probably why sky marshals prefer to carry them rather than, say, halberds.
