Your post is funny, despite all the hundreds of millions of people exterminated by Stalin, Hitler, Mao, Castro, Pol Pot, Ho Chi Min, Hirohito, Kaiser Bill, the "I'm so ronery" singing dictator in N.Korea and other secularist governments of the 20th century.
Atheistic Governments killed 200,000,000 people in the 20th century. That's far more than all the previously recorded wars, inquisitions, crusades, and witch burnings combined.
One of the Facts alleged was that some of the murders allegedly incited happened BEFORE the information was posted to the web site. So, it was alleged, he was being sued for expressing an opinion about an event he could not possibly have
incited.
If this fact is correct, then I say to all you people yelling "terrorist" only one word: Dhuh!
If all the whining masturbators would stop and
think, they would see the oportunities in this potential miscarriage of legislation:
1) As already mentioned there could be a market for censorware on alternative O/Ss, and open source censorware with open source black lists could enable people to group together and make their own CHOICES about what their children should not see. Surely religion and computer skills are not mutually exclusive concepts.
2) THIS COULD BE THE MEANS BY WHICH THE WINDOWS TAX IS REPEALED. SYSTEMS SANS O/S COULD BECOME POPULAR. Simply sell the O/S separately in a bubble pack and screw the evil empire.
3) Garcia could learn about computers in the real
world when all the computer sellers agree to deliver censorware with an empty white list, except maybe allowing him to get to slashdot.
4) People who pay for porn are stupid, immature, idiots who should have such a sexual outlet to keep them from reproducing and further degrading
the gene pool.
My experience has been that they are more interested (the government, that is) in whether you lie about something, rather than wheter you actually did it. Your example of the guy having the affair is right on target.
If some one quit smoking pot, for example, and if he were honest about his past (in writing) he would have no trouble getting a Top Secret, even during the Reagan administration.
Lie about past drug use, an arrest or a theft, though, and you're screwed. The problem comes when
(like Linda Tripp) your arrest record is purged, and others know about it. The judge says you don't have to tell anybody, but the fact remains that it
still happenned, and you need to be honest on those forms.
I do not know if it is the same CTSS, but there was some misegenation involving a Cray and a DPS8 running Multics back in the 1980's.
The half-breed used Multics security and Cray processing speed for some weird, and possibly classified applications at a site or two not revealed to this writer.
Some interesting things about the Multics shell
are:
Iteration: place a set of tokens in parens, another set of tokens in another pair of parens,
and the command would be repeated with the tokens
substituted in place:
ls (a b c) (d e f)
expands to:
ls a d;ls b e; ls cf
Active functions: more sophisticated redirection
of command output to the command line.
Wild Cards Done by comands, not shell:
This enables the use of extended syntax, if the
command supports it:
rename *a*.cpp =.fortran
does exactly what you would expect. Try doing it
in sh. I noticed that DOS wildcard handling is more Multics like than Unix like, except multics
doesn't have the name limitations found in DOS.
Until Release 12, it did not do pipes, but it imported them with a vengence. Pipe and file redirection used an overloaded pipe operator, becaus the less-than and greater-than signs were
used for directory pathing.
Anti sodomy laws have been ruled constitutional by the same pre-Reagan court that legalized abortion.
I guess if I were part of the nambla.org crowd instead of a "breeder" I would feel the same way about sodomy, adoption and foster care. If homosexual child sexual abuse accounts for, say, 20% of all molestations, it still makes a gay stranger 4 times more likely to molest than a heterosexual stranger. Yet the vast majority would
still be heterosexual molestations. Gays are not biological freaks, and they deserve neither more nor fewer rights than heterosexuals. Do you really think that 2 heterosexual men living together would be allowed to adopt or be foster parents either?
The Republican congress (see the Constitution) cut
spending, not the Clinton administration. He was a
passive participant in polls and focus groups.
While the premis that "old money" represents an elite section of society that prefers the pyramid to the diamond is correct, I believe that Al Gore, is just as much a part of that class as George Bush. At least Bush is honest about it.
Anyone who has followed the raging human rights debates in this country should actually read what the Supreme Court has written on such subjects as
forced sterilization (Buck v. Bell) and just who is actually a person (Dred Scott). Why do I mention these? Because certain "charitable" organizations were started by people who were at the top and wanted to stay that way. Foxes are buying welfare for chickens.
With all the rhetorical posturing about "choice", the bottom line is that the Republicans don't want to associate with poor people, and the elite Democrats want to destroy them: Isn't it odd that billboard ads for malt liquor, sterilization, and abortion seem to be in minority neighborhoods more so than in White neighborhoods. Margaret Sanger's Birth Control League made no secret that its intention was to eliminate the "teaming, swarming" minorities and create a society of "thoroughbreds," and it was catching on in the 20's and 30's, until a disciple named Adolph Hitler carried her doctrines to their logical conclusions.
Now the rhetoric is directed beyond government mandated genocide, as the velvet glove of "choice" is being used to convince minorities to destroy themselves, and the iron fist of the welfare state is only partially occulted to make sure the government mandated choices are made.
I have also noticed that it is always someone else who is causing the population explosion. Malthus has been consistantly been proven wrong, but just in case he is correct, I offer my final solution: People who think the world is over populated or teaming with inferiors will help solve the problem by arranging to have themselves shot.
I am not a M$ fan by any stretch, but I seem to remember that the way you avoid paying taxes is to
spend money. This means that they spent money buying things, paying employees, on charities, and paying dividends to grandpa's pension plan. (Legal fees, I discovered, are not Tax deductable.)
If Microsoft, or any other company, were not motivated by the tax code to spend or donate their money, they would do neither, and we would still be using punch cards and not watching PBS.
On the other hand, if they were unable to escape these taxes, they would pass the cost on to the consumer. This would mean that Congress would control what you hear and see more that it already does.
If abortion should be tax payer funded to protect poor women's 4th amendment rights, why not buy them guns to protect their 2nd amendment rights.
While I believe the Troll has gone too far in his
millenarian theories, he does have the same point that many have made: The Uber Government, Emperor, GigaShadow, Borg, Algore, Bushman, Haglrishi, Buttcannon, Brownnose, or Ralphchunks would be able to weild emmense power. If the population could be reliably tracked with it, the population could be silenced and personal freedom ended everywhere. It sounds like something one of those
Hollywood movie star "religions" headquartered in
Florida might like to impose on its members. They could catch all of those who blinked during their stupid movie.
Where I diverge from the troll is with the hallindseyisms. I think the world system is sufficiently corrupt that, just as has happened with contraceptives, abortion, and euthanasia, there is a slippery continuum between legaization and government mandating the technology for certain groups of people, thus causing the further erosion of human dignity.
Lubricated with the propaganda of "choice" any technology has a high potential for control, and it would have to be tightly regulated or banned by international convention before the Jini gets too far away from its bottle.
To be an effective deterant for crimminals, it must not only be tamper proof, but also require something more substantial than a pocket knife to safely remove it, as in the use of Norplant in school children. Perhaps a skull implant is not so
far from reality.
What once was illegal is now tax payer funded. Why do we expect genetic technology to be any less abused than contraceptives? While the majority was laughing about the Pill and the Pope, others were planning our current culture of death. Instead of Pope Paul's prediction of a government take over of our private lives, it would seem to be the "Corporation," or did he mean that the "Corporation" would become the government?
If you have not read Humanae Vitae, you should read it. It's downright prophetic. John Paul II goes into even more interesting stuff in his "Gospel of Life".
Making a culture of death is this simple: You decide that certain identifiable social groups (Jews, Catholics, Irish, Goths or Geeks) are undesireable. You start a foundation to provide them with "genetic counselling" to help them have healthier lives. You get a bunch of like minded rich people to fund your efforts and lobby Congress to throw in some tax money for public service advertisements, and you get Hollywood to show people from the undesireable groups to be inferior, annoying, or evil. You tell the larger population that you are promoting genetic choices, and invite percieved leaders from the targeted groups to testify to the benefits of your "plans". Eventially, thanks to journalism scholarships, like minded people control the majority of the mass media, and are able to control what information the voting majority sees. You make sure you call your opponants anti choice in every possible sound byte. The new technology must become "safe, legal and rare." You never neglect to have stories of "hard cases" that prove some lives are not worth living. It will take a while, but the psycologically manipulated masses will begin doing your work, without direct government coercion.
After a few years, the inferiors will be sent by the welfare state to your organisation for genetic counselling. You, of course only offer reproductive technologies that effectively target these groups for elimination, all the while promoting your social theories in schools under the guise of science.
Think it can't happen? Think about the Irish, Native Americans, and Africans whose cultures were targeted and destroyed by slavery and genocide. In each case the dominant culture has used them as proof of its own superiority. Genocide has the same effect whether it's done with smallpox infected blankets, concentration camps, or visits from the late Margaret Sanger, whose racism is consistantly ignored by the media. Funny, you outlaw education, tradition and family, and you end up with violent illiterates.
Trespassing laws have been used successfully by radio repeater clubs to proscecute malcontents. This has become a real problem with the availability of amateur equipment from consumer electronics retailers in recent years. Salesmen apparently are telling people that a 100 watt dual band FM set is just like a CB.
We live in a society that believes something is right or wrong based on what the majority believes, instead of a higher law that transcends raw democracy.
We and the Germans have both legislated who is entitled to be called human and who is not, changing 6000 years of developing thought on the matter with a quick stroke of a pen.
We and the Germans have put our trust and efforts into technogogy instead of human virtue with the result of insipid legislators, technological attacks on privacy, a society that favors expedience over truth, and soundbyte elections.
The PC movement has put its spin on every aspect of human research and education, with the result that it is more important that things look or sound good than that they be good. Hitler loved animals, drank pure water, and kissed babies in crowds.
What if it realy is competing technology. Could Michael Behe (Darwin's Black Box) be correct about the evidence for intelligent design? What if the "elephant in the living room" that Startrek evolutionists and young Earth Creationists are ignoring in their debate is in fact JON KATZ?
Final Solutions and "USELESS EATERS"

Anybody ever hear of Hitler? The exterminations started not with Jews (although they were harrassed and deported first) but with the lame, the insane, the retarded, the epileptic and those who deviated from the genetic norm as determined by the Nazis.(The order to clean out the institutions was given Sept. 1, 1939, to coincide with the invasion of Poland, so that nobody would notice, if I remember correctly.) So I thought some choice quotes would be in order from a certain Italian philosopher...
In relation to physical, economic, psychological and social conditions, responsible parenthood is exercised, either by the deliberate and generous decision to raise a numerous family, or by the decision, made for grave motives and with due respect for the moral law, to avoid for the time being, or even for an indeterminate period, a new birth.
17. Upright men can even better convince themselves of the solid grounds on which the teaching of the Church in this field is based, if they care to reflect upon the consequences of methods of artificial birth control. Let them consider, first of all, how wide and easy a road would thus be opened up towards conjugal infidelity and the general lowering of morality. Not much experience is needed in order to know human weakness, and to understand that men -- especially the young, who are so vulnerable on this point -- have need of encouragement to be faithful to the moral law, so that they must not be offered some easy means of eluding its observance. It is also to be feared that the man, growing used to the employment of anti-conceptive practices, may finally lose respect for the woman and, no longer caring for her physical and psychological equilibrium, may come to the point of considering her as a mere instrument of selfish enjoyment, and no longer his respected and beloved companion.
Let it be considered also that a dangerous weapon would thus be placed in the hands of those public authorities who take no heed of moral exigencies. Who could blame a government for applying to the solution of the problems of the community those means acknowledged to be licit for married couples in the solution of a family problem? Who will stop rulers from favoring, from even imposing upon their peoples, if they were to consider it necessary, the method of contraception which they judge to be more efficacious? In such a way men, wishing to avoid individual, family, or social difficulties encountered in the observance of the divine law, would reach the point of placing at the mercy of the intervention of public authorities the most personal and most reserved sector of conjugal intimacy...
Consequently, if the mission of generating life is not to be exposed to the arbitrary will of men, one must necessarily recognize insurmountable limits to the possibility of man's domination over his own body and its functions; limits which no man, whether a private individual or one invested with authority, may licitly surpass. And such limits cannot be determined otherwise than by the respect due to the integrity of the human organism and its functions, according to the principles recalled earlier, and also according to the correct understanding of the "principle of totality" illustrated by our predecessor Pope Pius XII...
We are well aware of the serious difficulties experienced by public authorities in this regard, especially in the developing countries. To their legitimate preoccupations we devoted our encyclical letter POPULORUM PROGRESSIO. But with our predecessor Pope John XXIII, we repeat: no solution to these difficulties is acceptable "which does violence to man's essential dignity" and is based only on an utterly materialistic conception of man himself and of his life. The only possible solution to this question is one which envisages the social and economic progress both of individuals and of the whole human society, and which respects and promotes true human values [26]. Neither can one, without grave injustice, consider divine providence to be responsible for what depends, instead, on a lack of wisdom in government, on an insufficient sense of social justice, on selfish monopolization, or again on blameworthy indolence in confronting the efforts and the sacrifices necessary to ensure the raising of living standards of a people and all of its sons [27].
It's got my vote! I worry that the MST3K writers would be brain dammaged by watching it too many times. di-di-dit di-da-da di-di-dit di-da-da...Oh-ee-oh! oh-ee-oh! and your little dog too!
I disagree on whether Red Hat or any other commercial distributors are necessarily rip-off artists, but I do aggree that illiterate savages abound on the net! It seems that when I strayed from the IBM Big Iron world into the Unix world, that the whole industry suddenly was controlled by the secretive Illiteratae and their minions. Conspiracy theories which would make any Bob Jones graduate laugh maniacly abound in cyberspace, along with documentation that would have caused revocation of its authors' high school diplomas ten years ago seem to be the norms instead of the exceptions, these days.
Oh, yeah, I want QuickTime 4 for linux, also.
The neuter pronoun in English is "he"; get over it.
"I say anyone with a modicum of brains should encourage both children and adults to question everything said/posed/taught to them, lest we all become a herd of mindless drones spouting corporate/religious/government dogma! Question "authority", for authority may be wrong..."
Questioning authority is not the issue. The issue is how this is done, and whether the method harms innocent people. Certainly protesting at nuclear power plants, abortion clinics, fur dealers, pathology labs, and WTO meetings are constitutional rights, but obviously bombing churches, abortion clinics, and the rest are not. The fact is that the media has already programmed people to reduce every issue to a sound byte or slogan that feels good and is devoid of logic.
The graphic truth will always provoke censorship, because pictures are not only worth a thousand words, they are a thousand times more powerful.
I fail to see how cyber-porn questions authority or how allowing it into to a library's network is a good use of tax payer dollars when others may be waiting to use the computers to earn a grade or get a job while somebody collects jerk-off memories. Maybe just having the computers out where everyone can see the screens should be the price you pay for not buying your own net access.

Your post is funny, despite all the hundreds of millions of people exterminated by Stalin, Hitler, Mao, Castro, Pol Pot, Ho Chi Min, Hirohito, Kaiser Bill, the "I'm so ronery" singing dictator in N.Korea and other secularist governments of the 20th century.
Bad Americans, stay out of it or no oil for you!
Jew haters suck and swallow.
We call people who shoot other people over the abortion issue, "Pro-Choice" because they choose to take a life to solve a social problem.
If this fact is correct, then I say to all you people yelling "terrorist" only one word: Dhuh!
Some idiot in another state tried to legislate the value of PI. So why does this surprize you in the least?
