    Wow! That's a astute observation.

  2. Re:(OT) Dems nowhere near as corrupt on Arrested for Planting Spyware on College Compus · · Score: 1

    That wasn't intended to be 'my party is better than your party' rhetoric, but rather point out that the business of the elite is to be corrupt and self-aggrandizing. I wasn't referring to martial infidelity, but rather the Mark Rich pardon that even Bush II has been tight-lipped about.

    What if they spell 'incompetent' as 'incompitent'? Can he then remain on his 'pedistal'?

    Don't forget that your beloved McCain sponsors the BCRA (Bipartisan Campaign Reform Act), AKA Campaign Finance Reform which has been likened to the Sedition Act of 1798. This is legislation that stands as a serious threat to free speech in this country and holds great benefits for the incumbents in our political system.

    And I suppose that the First Amendment makes the utterance of the word "Christmas" in a public school unconstitutional.

    Remember that at the time the Constitution was drafted, the "militia" referred to the people, not to a standing army.

  10. Re:Amazon... on Amazon Releases 1-Click Patent Sequel · · Score: 1

    From the publisher:

    "Many researchers is [sic] the fields of Psychology and Human Sexuality have been taking a fresh look at the "conventional" wisdom which has been the basis for evaluation of intergenerational male/male sexual activities. The long assumed "harm" of such activities has failed to be supported by research, and the sociocultural "wrongness" based on this "harm" is therefore left without any rational basis. ..."

    From this alone, it seems to be condoning the behavior or dismissing any negative effects it may have. I suppose it could lend legitimacy to women molesters, but it is a tome that is rather sympathetic to men who would molest boys. You have to love that euphemism "intergenerational male/male sexual activities" in lieu of calling it child molestation/.

  11. Re:Amazon... on Amazon Releases 1-Click Patent Sequel · · Score: 1, Interesting

    I too stopped patronizing Amazon.com after that stupid patent fiasco and their dishhonest privacy policy changes. I confirmed that my decision was indeed correct when I saw this book on their web site:

    Understanding Loved Boys and Boylovers

    When I cancelled my account and made reference to this book being the reason why, they just replied that they would cancel my account, but stood by the claim that they do not engage in censorship. Funny, I couldn't find any hardcore pornography on their web site. It isn't censorship, it's a choice of what you want to associate with your business. In my mind, Amazon wishes to lend legitimacy to men who would molest children.

    Some thoughts on this day of "rememberance" ca be found here and here. Another interesting thing is that all the major networks have decided to not show advertisements out of "respect". The truth is that they can't sell the time so they put a nice spin on it.

    After reading your post, I tried to find out if I could get this behavior with Mozilla (I don't want to switch!). It's not available as part of 1.0, but the 1.1 nightlies have it (not sure if it's in the official 1.1beta).

    Go get the lastest nightly, open 'Mail and News', select View->Message Body As->Plain Text and no more annoying HTML. There's also a setting for 'Simple HTML', but I'm not sure what that is.

    Mozilla rocks!

  23. Re:This always bothered me on California Tracks Everyone Using Toll Transponders · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Here's the solution:

    For people here in VA that have to take the Dulles Toll Road to work each day, some have to pass through 2 tolls (start and end). If you have one of those transponders, only use it once on your trip (i.e. pay the quarter to get on, and use the transponder to exit, or vice versa). That way, getting your average speed would be considerably more of a hassle (if not impossible).

    Or just ditch the thing entirely and stock up on quarters.

    Under $200? Hmmm...

    I think I paid about $225 -$250 for my Belkin OmniView SE 4-port KVM at CompUSA. Plus I shelled out an additional $20 for an another set of cables. I've had no problems switching between Windows and Linux (both console and KDE), so I'm very pleased with my purchase. I'll bet you can get it online for less than $200. Good luck.
