That was spectacular. Damn. If it wasn't illegal to use such damning footage because of bullshit "Intellectual Property" laws, the populace would be a lot smarter. I'm going to see if I can get that film put on suprnova.org (never submitted anything there before). If someone beats me to it, that would be great (hint hint). EVERYONE needs to see it.
Highlights:
The spin put on the Christopher Columbus celebration was appalling. They deliberately edited out anything that told the truth about what a monster he was.
Larry King kissing ass with all the 1992 candidates, and offering drugs to George Bush Sr. (WISH I WAS KIDDING!)
Pat Robertson not keeping his mouth shut.
The spin the reporters put on the Rodney King verdict.
Candidates being instructed how to "turn the question around" and "talk about whatever they wanted" when they got hard questions.
Clinton's Littlerock headquarters using the satellite feed to spot abortion protesters in the crowd before an appearance so they could get rid of them.
Larry King telling Bill Clinton how much Ted Turner likes him, and how Bill could give Ted a job AFTER he wins the election.
And much much more.
Startling doesn't even begin to describe how watching this movie makes you feel. My jaw dropped repeatedly. It's a revelation to watch, and SEE the media, Republicans, and Democrats acting like FUCKING ASSHOLES and it's THEM DOING IT in live moving pictures. There is no spin they could ever put on this movie to defend their actions. No wonder it's illegal.
When I think of all the poor childless pteradactlys because of your ravenous "pterydacky egg" eating binges, I find it hard to take your words seriously./CBS Storybreak rocked btw
is 1689. You can see an awesome picture of it HERE. It's about two billion light years away and one of the most massive objects in the Universe. It's so massive that those blue arcs in the picture are actually galaxies that are being visually warped by the gravity lensing. The amount of matter required to warp space that much is about 99 percent more than we can see in that image.
Because I was using FireFox on Mac OS X and it kept blowing up. It's a shame because I preferred it. Now I'm using Safari, and I notice the slower performance, but it isn't crashing twice a day like FireFox was. I understand it's a 0.8, but it still kinda sucks that it crashes. It works find on Gentoo for me. Guess I'm stuck with Safari for now.
It's the speed of a pixel going from off to on and back. BLACK AND WHITE. It doesn't actually measure the response for a specific color at the sub pixel level. For gaming there is ONE lcd panel that has consitantly done better than all others, and that's the HyDIS panels manufactured by Hyundai. It's very very hard to find an LCD monitor still made with one. The ONLY currently available LCD panel I know of with the HyDIS panel is the Hitachi CML174B featured here with the specs here. If you buy into the LG screen 16ms or 12ms aussie myth, hey, it's your money. Enjoy the ghosting.
Someone will write an application/patch/work-around that deactivates their ads without effecting the service. Those in the know will use it. Those not smart enough, or not clued in won't. This is how it always is. The application/patch/work-around will be brought up here of course. It always is.
I *HAVE* icc set in my use flag, and a license to legally use icc. Anything that can be built with icc automagically is. I have the haskell compiler also. It's not like you have to use gcc to compile everything in Gentoo. Set the use flag, install the compiler, anything that can use it will and all you have to do is type emerge blah. That's heaven my friend. Mandrake is very very very very very very easy though. They get points for that. It's just not up to my standards.
Yup. Wish you could delete posts. You've got ungodly powers of caped moderation. Can you make my post vaporize? This one also I suppose so people don't get confused.
I can. I used to have one. Do a search for the you.swf file and accompanying index.html for it. The second you open the page it flashes YOU ARE AN IDIOT! and plays "You are and idiot! HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!!!" and flashes a bunch of times, then opens your browser 5,000 times and installs netbus if I remember. It only works with IE. There were versions that installed all kinds of badness. I had it up because I thought it was funny. It was almost a year later when someone pointed out that pc-cillian flipped out and detected the netbus install attempt that I even knew the copy I had put up on a page was infecting people. With no virus scanner installed, anyone could and I guess DID get infected by this web page and the ones like it. Here is the only thread I could find about it before anyone knew it was a payload delivery mechanism:

for my 12" powerbook G4 HOWEVER since I found THIS I don't even bother anymore. The right side of the trackpad is vertical scroll. The bottom edge is horizontal scroll. I set a finger tap in the lower left corner to right mouse button click. I set expose up to "choose all apps" and "clear off desktop" with taps in the other corners. With practice, it's a lot faster than a mouse.
That's why all my loser friends on dialup whine because they can't get it and that's why they don't have it. Every freaking monday (like today for example) I get blank CD's handed to me so I can burn things for them from home. I'll just reach over and pet my airport and 3.0mb cable modem and thank $DEITY that I'm not relegated to the pteradactyl pecking on stone tablet speed of dialup.
1) I was being completely scarcastic referencing the silly high prices for DSL here in the USA and the crappy ping times they provide. I can understand how I was misunderstood.
2) The article refers to satellite WAP access with b speed wireless. Not actual satellites.
For 200 bucks you can get an apacer 1gig ht202 thumbdrive and fill it up with shit and freaking mail it to your family members, then keep mailing it back and forth.
There is no shortcut. You need daemontools because it relies on "service" for monitoring, logging, and rudimentary host based access control where applicable. Just READ THIS and follow the instructions. Take the time to understand what the difference is between dns-cache and tinydns. Do yourself a favor and install axfrdns if you install tinydns. If you are going to do authoritative nameserving, read up on all the goodness HERE. I've taken the time to install the VegaDNS administration front end and it's pretty neat. The most useful patches so far that I've used for tinydns are the round-robin dns patch, the errno patch (to get the bastard to rpmbuild on ES 3.0 but I think debian is still using fred flintstone's glibc so you should be cool) and the patch for the new zone transfer method that BIND 9 uses. If you aren't needing to mess with authoritative domain hosting, you probably only need DNScache. It's awesome stuff. Good Luck!
Considering the morons they let drive cars, the only way I'd feel safe driving the friendly skies would be if:
1) Manditory intelligence testing 2) Manditory hand eye coordination testing 3) Manditory reaction time testing 4) Hardcore schooling and licensing program 5) Very intense vehicle licensing and inspection program
I don't want to share the skies with the same people that drive beat to shit, oil burning cameros from the late 70's if they are going to drive a similar sky vehicle. By that same token, I DEFINITELY don't want to share the skies with your typical hunched over florida driver behind the wheel of a shit insane scary swerving winged cadillac.
Me and another guy at work are handed Compaq Evo N800c's.
I decide to go the Gentoo route while he picks Debian. Nearly three days later I get finished and I have everything I want. Granted, I spend an extra day on tiny piddling shit. I always do a brand new custom xdm config with some sort of eyecandy, and I make a custom fluxbox theme based on the machine name. I name my machines after anti-heroes from popular media. This one is named Alucard for example. Either way, I had my menues customized and all the applications I prefer for each thing. I even had OpenGL configured for the ATI stuff and quake3 running reasonably well at 800 by 600. The Debian guy? He finished about the same time after he got sick of messing with things and borrowed:
My kernel config My XF86Config My/etc/fstab My/boot/grub.conf My/etc/X11/xdm/ stuff (cause he liked my login screen)
And this was a pretty bright guy who had been using Debian for in his words "Since the dawn of time". So I guess it's all how you look at it. No matter what distro I'm going to use, I'm going to customize all those little nit-picky things that drive me nuts exactly the way I like them. I could have rushed and done a stage 3 install and been done in a few hours, then spent another day getting all my apps straightened out and never been quite happy or felt as good about the install. When it's a machine that I'm going to be spending 10+ hours a day making my living, I want to be damn sure I'm going to love it and there aren't going to be any surprises.
What some people don't seem to understand about Gentoo or the BSD's is that not everyone is hell bent on world domination and market share. Some people want something specific, and Gentoo and the BSD's are there for them. It's not like they are ever going anywhere. BSD "despite the rumors" has never done anything but grow in usership with the steady, yet slow trickle of new users and the fiercly dedicated long time users. Gentoo is growing rather fast, but will no doubt plateau off and settle in the same way the BSD's have. But by all means, continue to have your OS flame wars and make your comparisons and talk about market share or other things that aren't important or even remotely interesting to the majority of most Gentoo and BSD users. It's very humorous.:) HAVE FUN STORMING THE CASTLE!!!

Other than overlooking that b speed wireless can only do 11Mbps. Divided by 8, that's around t1 speed or the 1.5MBish neck of the woods.

At least it's cheaper and faster than DSL. It probably pings better too.
