    No, I want them considering toy guns as toys.

  3. First intellegent move ? Hardly... on BC Scraps Mandatory Video Game Ratings · · Score: 1
    "In their first intelligent move, the new
    government of British Columbia...".

    Actually, this is about their fifth intelligent move.
    From abolishing photo radar, to allowing competition
    in auto insurance and privately funded health clinics
    the Liberals are on a roll.

    I'm considering coming out of exile and returning
    to Lotus Land.

  4. Re:"Younglish" - How do you DO it??? on Ask Cryptome's John Young Whatever You'd Like · · Score: 1
    Me Too ! If this is really ask whatever we'd like ...
    How in the world do you generate that unique hash of free-association, bafflegab, verbing,
    just-this-side-of-understandable wording (not sure which side),
    "Younglish" writing, for which you are reknowned?


    And another excellent quality of cpunks that does
    indeed impress the world of media boodthirstiness,
    is the number of its outstanding writers sent to
    jail, some repeatedly, for cutting edge taunts of
    illiterate critics, diseased poobahs and for
    sure, aesthetic cowards who ever try to pump up
    their fiction with idiotic pretense of non- fictional earnestness.

    Now I know its a grave offense to those with
    gravitas (spit) to ridicule their seriousness of
    purpose and pretentious judgmentalism, but they
    pose such easy targets, for all purposes I can
    see, beg to be made fun of, display abysmal
    ignorance of what they write, cite spurious
    authorities for it, remind when it was first,
    last, and forever written, just cannot forgo wild
    swings at fantasms, urge close attention to their
    pulp, deliver sweeping statements as if a world
    authority, viciously attack untalented writers
    like themselves, slather the most shallowly
    manipulating praise ever imaginable, and probably
    lay awake at night dreaming of triumph, a Nobel
    Prize or violent heroic death before dishonor.

    This is what I like about cypherpunks and find
    repugnant about Cyberia which has produced no
    jail time for its members, but more advice on how
    to avoid it than is good for humanity. A refuge
    for intellectural and corporal cowards, Cyberia,
    among many other lists, is, but in time that will
    hopefully change, in particular if I can persuade
    you and Declan to go over the line all great
    writers must do to spend jail-time among the
    winners and stop sucking up to losers who will
    always remain unimpressed having no judgment worth writing about.

    or better yet, wrt Stuart Baker,

    When I first got within 20 trace aromas of the
    lushness of Baker's double cultivated what-grows-
    wild-elsewhere above his peepers, my bubonic
    dingleberry squatters jumped cess to copulate in his.

    You think darkholed bugs, you think impenetrable
    hedgerows to camouflage the skidmarks.

  5. Re:Gee... I wonder why the demand was low? on Dell Drops Linux on Desktops and Laptops · · Score: 1

    in August 2000 I ordered a Dell Optiplex GX110
    over the web.

    I did so by browsing 'big business customer...
    Optiplex ... Optiplex with Red Hat Linux',
    then configured it to include a better sound
    card, added it to my cart, then paid.

    Three days later I received a communication from
    DELL that there was a problem with my order,
    and I should contact them.

    Me: What's wrong with my order ?

    Dell: Hmmm... looks it up ...
    You didn't specify an operating system.

    Me: Which order was that ? Was it the Optiplex
    GX110 with Red Hat Linux 6.2 ?

    Dell: Yes.

    Me: Dear Sir, I would like Red Hat Linux 6.2 on my
    Dell system with Red Hat Linux 6.2 .

    Dell: OK.

    The system arrived and was set up fine.
    About nine months later the NIC died and I
    called Dell support and they tried to talk me
    running through some diagnostics by running a
    Win98 CD they included with the Linux system.

    (I could boot off the CD and run dos mode
    diagnostics, it worked.)

    Next time I should buy from VA Linux, not Dell.
