You know what everyone else likes? PARFAITS. You ever meet a person who you said, "Hey, let's go get a parfait" and they say, "No, I don't like no parfaits." Parfaits are delicious!
I thought he was talking about what the 'rebels' are thinking/being motivated by:
Their rebels are fighting because they hate us, or they want Saddam back. ie, they want a government based on power back, not one that is benificial for the people.
I was responding to the reply How the hell do you know what they're fighting for? Did CNN tell you?
I guess I'll follow your links and see if it sheds any light on this question.
>How the hell do you know what they're fighting for? Did CNN tell you?
You're right - it's really hard to know what they're fighting for as they haven't really gone to any trouble to communicate their goals to CNN or FOX or anyone.
Damn, if they would only take the time to sit down with Aaron Brown or Britt Hume or somebody like that and just let the world know what their intent is (be it to oust the occupying US forces so they can set up a militant theocracy, to bloody our noses at the cost of their own lives or whatever ) we could all just stop guessing what they are all about!;-)
in the long run, probably - although I really doubt that all of the attacks are motivated by a desire to see Saddam restored. There's plenty of other reasons to hate the Americans.
I kind of expect a short-term upswing in attacks, motivated by vengance/retributiuon/whatever.
Also, I think there will be a short/long-term effect on "coalition" forces. Certainly there will be an immediate boost in morale for the average guy patrolling the streets ("YES!!! About fucking time - now let's lock this shit-hole down and get the fuck out of here.")
As the months drag on and noting really changes for the grunt patrolling the street, his morale would plummet ("Christ, can we just get the fuck out of this god-forsaken toilet of a country!?")
I hope that isn't what happens, but it seems inevitable.
>A lot of virii and worms send email directly; therefore not using Telstra's mail servers
so do a lot of spammers
how are they implementing this? is the check at the SMTP hosts, or ar the routers?
When I read this, I had assumed (as benny also appears to have) that this would be implemented on the mail servers. I thought right away that this would be probelmatic since any "real spammer"(TM) would probably have a local MTA sending their crap out directly, not connecting to Telstra's mail servers.
># tcpdump -i eth0 dst port 25
ok, then what? I'm not suggesting that you couldn't sniff packets at the default gateways and then analyze them somehow, I'm just wondering how do-able this is given the amount of traffic Telesp must have. I would think this could become a bottleneck if not implemented correctly.
Tarzan on "Disney DVD" did this. I remember because it was one of the first DVDs I bought after getting a player.
When you first pop in the disc it starts playing previews and my player showed a little red circle with a slash through it when I would try to FF or chapter advance or whatever. This was on the Panasonic DVD/Divx unit I got from Circuit City for $100 when they discontinued divx.
I have since bought a Zenith player (actually, my dad gave it to me as a present). Hitting 'menu' jumps straight to the main menu, jumping over the ads. Hitting 'play' advances to the 1st chapter. I still can't FF through the previews, but that's less of an issue now that I can jump straight to the menu or movie.
I agree that it was annoying as hell not to be able to just put in a disc and watch the damn movie without sitting through a handful of 20-second spots.
An agreement has been reached between the European Union and China on its participation in the GALILEO programme. This agreement was initialled in Beijing on 18 September 2003 by Mr F. Lamoureux, Director-General of Energy and Transport at the European Commission, and Mr Shi Dinghuan, Secretary General of China's Ministry of Science and Technology. ?China will help GALILEO to become the major world infrastructure for the growing market for location services,? said Loyola de Palacio, Vice-President of the European Commission, responsible for the GALILEO programme. Her counterpart in the negotiations, China's Science and Technology Minister Xu Guanhua highlighted that ?China supports GALILEO and plans to participate actively in its construction and application for mutual benefits?.
To sharpen a knife, you will need a stone such as the Arkansas stone and a leather strop impregnated with a buffing compound such as rouge. Always store the chip carving knives in a foam block so that they do not get damaged.

Bailiff: That's fine. On the 28th of May, you published this Hungarian/English accounting software. Publisher: I did. Bailiff: I quote one example. The Hungarian phrase meaning "Please re-enter the correct amount" is translated by the English phrase, "Please fondle my bum." Publisher: I wish to plead incompetence. Cop: (stands) Please may I ask for an adjournment, m'lord? Judge: An adjournment? Certainly not! (the cop sits down again, emitting perhaps the longest and loudest release of bodily gas in the history of the universe.) Judge: Why on earth didn't you say WHY you wanted an adjournment? Cop: I didn't know an acceptable legal phrase, m'lord.
(mind, minnie driver was pretty distracting as well. I finally bought the DVD with Japanese soundtrack and literal english subtitles and I'm fine. In fact, now that I've watched it a couple more times, it's very enjoyable with no subtitles at all)

"Sure kid, but where you gonna get the gas?"
"Look... I can pay you 2000 now, plus 15 when we reach New Zealand"
"Seventeen? Boy, you must really be desparate. What's the cargo?"
"just myself, my plane... and no questions asked."
