Bush is aiming at B, but he has made no political preparation for it. Nobody is ready to accept drastic cuts in Medicare and Social Security. Without that preparation, we are most likely headed towards C."

PJ> Does that make me a crazy conspiracy theorist?
Um. In short: yes.
It's no different than the moon landing theorists. You are believing lock, stock and barrel what is plausible over what the evidence (or lack of evidence) suggests. If you believe it's "war for oil", then you must believe that Clinton's bombing of the aspirin factory in the Sudan as well as the war on Kosovo was a wag-the-dog moment to deflect attention away from him committing perjury.
Next, your kind will try to convince us of a vast right-wing conspiracy.
Spoken like someone who obviously has no children. Thank you for teaching me how to raise my kids.
You are assuming that the people who use Clean Flicks are doing it for their children. I know several people who use Clean Flicks because they themselves don't want to see a good movie ruined by a gratuitous sex scene that does nothing to move the plot or advance the story.
How you people can support Napster with it's amazing tightrope walk through copyright law, but then denounce these people for walking a beam is beyond me.
"The DGA is defending the desecration of many of our favorite films, while Clean Flicks is strongly advocating for the copyright rights of the consumer to edit and/or alter the media that they purchase. At the extreme you have folks who want to eliminate all traces of sex and violence from the popular media against the movie industry who wants to eliminate all property rights of the consumer."
First, where does Clean Flick's plan suggest that they want to eliminate all traces of sex and violence from the popular media? You are assuming too much simply beause you don't agree with what Clean Flicks is doing (how open minded of you).
Second, you claim that Clean Flicks is "desecrating" these films. I call bullshit. The directors themselves will edit their own films to be shown on commercial airplanes all in the name of making a buck. The reminds me of Metallica's insistence that Napster commoditizes their "art" while they are allowing people to press plastic discs with their "art" and *gasp* selling them.
I've never understood how come when people exercise a modicum of their constitutional right and there is a hint of religion, that such a large population feels threatened. If you people are truly believed in the Constitution, you would be loudly praising Clean Flicks use of their Constitutional rights.
The main problem with GroupWise is it's closed, encrypted (a single encryption key for all databases that noone has cared to crack), proprietary database. When the database gts corrupt, you have one option to fix it, and that's to use Novell's tool. If this doesn't do it, you are SOL.
Netware 6.0 comes with Apache 1.3 out of the box. In order to install Apache 2.0, you must follow strict instructions that explicitly warn you that the 2.0 code for Netware is highly experimental:
"Due to the fact that Apache 2.0 for NetWare has not received the same level of testing as on other platforms, the binaries for Apache 2.0 have been made available for testing purposes only. We DO NOT recommend that Apache 2.0 for NetWare be used in a production environment at this point."
Elcomsoft's #1 competitor is Access Data based in Orem, UT. I've known people who worked for them and they say they aren't concerned about the FBI coming after them because the FBI is a major user of their software.
That doesn't change the fact that their software techinically violates the DMCA.
The reports outside of the "mainstream" news media was rampant with evidence that the "recount" was extremely partisan (and it did result in "finding" thousands of votes for Gore).
The technology was designed to keep the subjective human element out of the vote count process.
I'm not saying it's generally a good thing (because now there is a single point of compromise that makes the system untrustworthy), but I'm saying anything that keeps those partisan hacks in West Palm Beach from being involved in the process (beyond casting their own votes) is a good thing.
WSBN has been shoutcasting (audio) Tribes2 matches for a while now.
They've recently started to do videocasting (over the internet). The images are very grainy and hard to see, but it shows what video coverage of a computer game should be like (multiple camera angles, free fly observer mode, etc.)
Ah, yes. The Tattered Cover has a special place in my heart because that's where I got my first copy of Linux. The year was 1994 and I was visiting Denver on business. At that time, there were no bookstores online and I usually made a habit to visit local bookstores wherever I went because the place I live has a derth of computer books available (i.e. X for Dummies). A local told me to try the Tattered Cover.
To my surprise, I found the basement was floor to ceiling with computer books with a whole section dedicated to Unix (and a small subsection dedicated to Linux). I bought Linux Network Administrator's Guide by Olaf Kirch ($18.95)and it came with a CD of all the known distributions of Linux at that time.
I chose to install SlackWare on my 386. Little did I know, this educational OS was going to make a huge difference in the industry.
I still have the book and wonder if it'll have collectors value some day.
It takes up way too much of my life. I got intrigued by it when I found out it was a FPS that required teamwork to accomplish a goal (i.e. capture the flag). I left FPS's back at Duke Nukem 3D because they frankly got boring. The "twitch" effect and shoot everything that moves. I gravitated more toward RTS games like Red Alert, C&C and Age of Kings.
In Tribes2 I found great elements of skill required by individuals to be able to execute tactics, yet elements of RTS for a complete team strategy.
Any inkling that I've ever had of becoming a Libertarian have just now been removed. Thanks for posting this so I know what the Libertarians are really about.

You need to read the article. He didn't lump these people in with UFO "nuts". He lumped them in with SETI.
it'll solve all your problems.
You people need to lay off politics and stick to technology because you really have no clue.
Break the tinfoil hats out people, we are going to talk about Bush!
