Good point. Keep them "unplugged" from the rest of the world, and setup a LAN, with touch screens, where you "touch" your candidate, and get one of those "Are you sure?" screens. A hard copy output could also be collected as backup.
If so many are not US citizens, do you have a favorite? Is this whole process sickening to you? I am wondering what your thoughts are on the candiadates, and if you were a US citizen, how you would vote.
Yes, I too have worked hard to get where I am. However, I was less fortunante than you. I financed my way through college, as my parents did not have the money to send me off too college. I decided to go into the service after high school, because of this. After that, I was able to go to college, and get fiancial aid to help pay my way. The Clinton administration has also allowed more money for pell grants, and raised the federal borrowing limit. Without that, I'm not sure where I would have got the money. I guess I could have sold guns or drugs.
So, if by that, you mean giving money to people that do not deserve it, well, than maybe you are just a special person.
We are talking about incentive here. By allowing people the chance to attend college, you further their potential, therefore making society better. But some people will never realize this, and thats why they are on the streets selling guns and drugs, or you have people like yourself who only think about themselves.
One other thing to think about, is what if for some terrible reason you became disabled, and were unable to work. Without money in the system to help you out, it looks like you will have some serious problems trying to eat. But then again, if the stock market was good at the time that you were disabled, then you would have nothing to worry about.
By control over your life, I am referring to how Bush's philosophies conflict with mine. I am pro-choice. I would also disagree with prayer in public schools. I would like control in my life too, which is why I will vote for Gore.
You know there is a reason why people go to college: to become educated. What you are talking about is training, and is signifigantly different than education. I'm not saying college is the end all means by how smart someone is, but it does fill some of the gaps, which may make someone a better decision maker than others. Look at GWB's responses in the final debate. He had to think long and hard before he spoke. I don't think he did that well in college. Personally, I'd rather have a leader that can make decisions with a good knowledge of what is at stake.
So, in fact, they *would* only benefit certain people? Again, this just proves my point. A good deal of America would never see the chance at benefitting from this, only the privileged, where barriers like proximity to other schools are not an issue.
Yes, but your choices affect others. There should be some common denominator in our society, and that needs to be dictated by someone, or we would have anarchy!
The choice here is how much that someone is willing to dictate. Bush is Pro-life, Gore is Pro-Choice. You decide who would like to have more control over your life.
Ahh, welfare has been cut in half. The current administration did that. Also, my taxes are now helping me pay back my college tuition, by allowing me to deduct the interest. Yes, the current administration did that, too. You see, the democrats use taxes to actually help other people. This also make for more of an incentive to contribute to society, by allowing more people to enter college, instead of sitting at home with the few extra dollars you would get back under a Bush plan. Actually, the more I think about it, the states would end up getting that money back, since these people would now have more money to buy scratch tickets!
Actually, this is only one of the many reasons why I support Al Gore. After watching the third debate, it was clear that GW is a babbling, weak fool. Half of what he says makes no sense - I have a 7 page list of various quotes, and after reading them, you just have to say "Huh?" Gore is clearly more intelligent.
It really makes you wonder who would be president if GW is elected. Would GW be another Ronald Regan? Another puppet for the Republicans? Oh, thats right, Regan had no clue what went on the last 4 years of his term. Just read the transcripts about the Iran Contra scandal.
Here's a few more issues where GW has no answer:
Tax cuts for the top 1% (Is this trickle down theory again?)
Affirmitave Action - GW is just another "Good ole boy"
School Vouchers - Yea, that would work great in rural America. Parents would love the option to drive their kids another 40 miles to school! This is just another ploy to give rich people even more money.
Environment (Texas speaks for itself) cough, cough
Here's my new tagline:
Republicans: "For the rich, and ignorant!" or even better - the famous bumper sticker:
First, Ralph Nader will not become president. Just like Ross Perot, he has some excellent ideas, but he will simply not be elected. Take some of Ross Perot's ideas in the 92 election - He wanted to create jobs, and pay down the national debt. The current administration has done that! Change takes a long time, and if the current administrations' philosophies can contine, we will see even more change.
Take college for example. Now you can deduct the interest on your taxes. Not to mention the fact, that we can now borrow more money for college than before. This gives students who are under privileged - READ: Not part of the elite 1%!! - more of a chance to better themselves. This all came together as a result of the current administration.
How about the Telco breakup? Look what that has done to competition, and long distance rates. I was able to cut my phone costs in 1/2!! You can credit that to the current administartion!
Microsoft: everyone knows they are a monopoly, and the current administration decided enough was enough. We can also credit Ralph Nader for this. I think, but don't quote me, that Microsoft contributes to the Republican party. Even though I'm using Win95 to post this, I really don't have much of a choice at work, however that is finally changing with Linux.
With a Republican administrartion our country will be headed back towrads that silly idea of "trickle down" economics. It does not work! We already learned that! Why would we want to break something that seems to be working?
Please vote for Al Gore - he is the only candidate that will continue our prosperity, and give all Americans a chance at realizing their potential - regardless of race, gender, economic status, etc. etc...
This product is actually a port of SCO's merge, over to Linux. While running it, you will notice if you 'cat/proc/modules' that they even kept some of the module naming conventions "Merge". This program has run everything that I need to run in Windows (Photoshop - I need CMYK!!)
Before my upgrade to my current system (Athalon 700/512MB RAM), performance was not bad on my ole Pentium-120, with 96MB. It booted Win98 faster than a dedicated Pentium 200!
If anyone absolutely has to run a particular Windows App, I'd highly recommend this, based on price/performance.
I also have found it useful to access my Epson Stylus Color 800 Windows driver for cleaning the printheads. Not to mention that printing in color (for me) is still something to be desired with ghostscript. Great for B/W, but color with this printer needs some serious work at higher resolutions.

All the reasons I use it. My question is one of backwards compatibility. I remember moving from 1.0 to 1.1.x required that some applications (maybe all - I forget), required rewritting or recompiling with some hacks pointing to the names of the new header files. Is this true with 1.1.x to 2.x ?
It is kind of scarry that our Government was affected by this worm. Especially when it could potentially harm National Security. Maybe this will prompt for a Linux solution for our Government.
Hmmm... Well, I guess your assumption is correct, but if I only use the software for printing greeting cards, or some other printer utility, I'm not really saying that I'm doing too much with the software. I guess I need to ask them what exactly they mean by auditing rights. Their Tech Supt. has always made quick responses to all my questions. Thanks for pointing this out.
While on the SCO topic, I recently purchased a product called Win4Lin, which I guess, is a port of SCO Merge to Linux. This product is similar to VMWare, where you actually have to own a licensed copy of Win95/98, and load it in. Where it shines is performance. I have this running on my modest Pentium-120, with 96MB of RAM, and it seems fast. In fact, it boots Win98 second edition faster than a P-300 at work! Sound support is forthcoming, but so far it has run everything I've thrown at it! I'm very impressed, and the price is only $49.95. If you still have a few Win apps. which may never see the light of day on Linux (like my wifes greeting card software), I'd highly reccommend it. Not to mention that having a native windows color printer driver, is much better than anything ghostscript can currently do for me. Check it out here.
This is sad. I would think that as an educator, your teacher would be abreast of the latest news in the computing world, and Linux has certainly brought the GPL license in to the spotlight. Just by making your teacher aware of the GPL, you have already made a difference. The fact that Linux, and the GNU software that runs on Linux is free, you would think that all schools are researching the uses of this [new] paradigm. Although, back when I was in high school, I learned more about computers on my own. My computer teacher served more as an advisor for my independent study, which at the time was the schools network administrator! This was back in '89.
Personally, I think the teacher is probably burned out, or does not have enough funding or energy to keep up with technology. My syster in-law who just graduated from high school told me some horror stories of her computer class. Her teacher really didn't have much of a clue, other than how to use Microsoft Word. For example, he had a room full of networked computers, and one printer, yet each student had to bring a floppy to the computer with the printer to print anything out. I told her how easy it was to enable printing to the printer over the network using Win95 Peer-to-Peer printer sharing. The teacher was impressed to see how knowledgeable she was! Who knows maybe the guy was a temp. But, this is a good example of why our country needs a radical change in education, and why foreign students are winning the big tech. jobs in the US.

RedHat's Errata has no information about the bind upgrade.
Thanks for this tidbit. I was just ready to upgrade to 4.0.2 from 3.3.6.
The Joystick setup is a little different on 2.4. These are the modules my machine has loaded to get this to work properly:
adi 6448 0 (unused)
ns558 2544 0 (unused)
gameport 1904 0 [adi ns558]
joydev 5568 0
input 3424 0 [adi joydev]
I have a SB-128, with a Logitech Wingman Extreme Digital (now the 'adi') driver. The ns558 is the gameport, which is new. Check the doc's!

-1 for your compasionate conservatism - remember a lot of folks in Florida are elderly, and don't see as well as you and I.
Someone needs to mod this up.. If this is true - this is a big issue!
