Does Thunderbird's IMAP work properly yet? I have an older build, and the problem is this: when you move or delete a file (unless using traditional IMAP "mark as deleted"), it looks deleted - its gone from the list, and in the trashcan or target folder. Now you empty the trash - seems to be completely gone.
So I log in through Pine or my web-based email system and guess what I see? None of the files are actually gone - they're just "marked as deleted" and taking up friggin' space. Considering that they may have been copied to other folders, that means I have redundant crap lying around in my mail folder. That's dumb as all hell when it's been moved to the "deleted items" folder. The only way that seems to get around this is to run in "marked as deleted" mode and use the Purge Button plugin - which defeats the whole nice copy/move UI.
Bush/Mars thing is the same as NCLB. Make a loud bluster of something to do, then don't fund it - if they actually follow orders, they are paralysed into inactivity from budget problems. You look like a hero, and no money need be spent.
As a side benefit, this inactivity provides good justification for budget cuts later on.
An elector in Colorado already has stated that even if Bush does win, he is going to vote for Kerry. He has the right to do so. This may yet turn out to be interesting.
Hit the nail on the head - do people really think that Hillary can beat out Jeb, especially with the Republican spin machine we saw in this election? Jeb Bush will clean her clock in '08, even with Obama as her VB running mate.
And it could have been so much better - Kerry would've been clobbered by McCain in '08.
Canada will vote out the liberals the moment that someone provides a real alternative. Joe Clark's PC party would've gotten 70%, but people just didn't want the Conservatives - too religious, too likely to send Canuck boys off to die like the Americans, and too likely to handle it all with a don't-tax-and-spend-anyways Bushite strategy. The Liberals are corrupt and incompetent, but they're unopposed - the Conservatives are too far right for mainstream canadian politics.
Run Mike Harris for PM and watch him win - the guy didn't win Ontario twice in a row for nothing. I didn't like his politics, but I knew he was an honest guy and not an extremist.
Molyneux, I'm looking in your direction... but lots of games had spherical texture views of the gameworld, but they were usually just representing a simple rectangular map, like in SimEarth and StarControl II.
Most of the smaller, more convenient ones are glass pipes. Frankly, I don't want to look like I have a crack problem. The others are either large and bulky or extremely expensive ($200CAN for a pipe is a little much).
His tax policy has stimulated the economy, which is rebounding nicely from the Clinton recession and 9/11.
You display your bias by calling it the Clinton recession. At any rate, that tax cut resulted in breaking all the records for debt spending. Bush has plunged the USA deeper in debt than was thought imaginable.
Two hotbeds of anti-American sentiment moving towards democracy.
No, two new hotbeds of anti-American sentiment. Period. Afghanstan is now ruled by drug-pushing warlords and former Taliban rulers, and Iraq has converted a neutral populace (with an anti-American dictator) into a vehemently anti-American populace (with an American-backed dictator). He's done the same thing with Terrorism that he did with taxes - he postponed them in such a way that it will be a hundred times worse for your children.
(Bear in mind that we lose ~50,000 people a year to traffic accidents, and ~35,000 people a year to the flu.)
Funny, I don't hear you using this justification when discussing the psychotic and aimless reaction to Terrorism. I mean, was it _only_ 3000 people who died in 9/11? Death is death, and whether it was 10 000 or 100 000 Iraqis who're dead for some bad judgement, it still sucks.
And frankly, the Military can "get behind the president" in times of war, whether he's Kerry or Bush, just like they told the civilians to do during the run-up. Their behaviour under Clinton was inexcusable (such as public threats on his life).
His behaviour in Vietnam was far more excusable than his opponents - he went, he fought, and he found out how horribly it sucked so he did whatever he could to get home (the three-purple-heart-loophole). Then, once home, he informed the people of how badly it sucked. Some people couldn't handle the truth, so they go apeshit on him.
Kerry has shown far more interest in protecting American jobs than Bush (who does not seem to have shown any) so I don't see where you're getting that H1B note. Kerry has actually campaigned on that platform.
high on taxation
Frankly, the US cannot afford the current levels of taxes and spending. Its like running a million dollars of credit because you don't want to make your car payments.
And he said what is plan is - more international support. And he'll get it too, all he has to do is give the UN some measure of control of their troops Iraq (after all, after this mess do you really expect French troops to take American orders?) and open up the reconstruction contracts to supporting countries.
I notice you dodge actually listing what Bush's income is. Bush is also very rich, and also claim s to be the common man. How many cowboys own sports teams and oil companies in their carreers (which they run into the ground and fail to see any reprocussions from)?
Kerry's not stupid. Hey has made a major point that he will finish the job in Iraq. If being "strong on defense" means invading a few more coutnries while still holed up on Afghanistan and Iraq, I dare say that the US needs someone a little less "Strong on defense" or it'll just spread itself too thin.
Sweet jesus, that list is terrifying. Mod parent up.
Parent AC's link:
a list of known voter fraud this election. A very _long_ list. What's really scary is how many of them are being perpetuated by actual, official party members and reprasentatives - its disgusting the teflon coating some of these people have.
After SWVFT, Diebold, and this, how can anyone defend the mentality of the right in America? Oh, right, if Kerry wins the economy will tank and the terrorists will invade Wyoming, like they did under Clinton.
One theory I heard often espoused is that its actually all JFK's fault. Basically, the idea is that the moon project resulted in NASA becoming over-obsessed with rocketry instead of developing space-plane technology, and as a result there wasn't the space-plane background ready to design the shuttle the way it really could've been done.
The whole idea is obsurd until you think back to the incredible things they were doing with hypersonic jets back then - stuff that people are hard pressed to replicate now. Remember the SR-71?
I always find it funny when people talk so idealistically about Libertarianism. The principle is that you'll let people sell crack on the street, abandon the poor to die in their slums, and let businesses sell rocket launchers to criminals, all for improving the efficiency and freedom of America - a sort of domestic realpolitik.
And ironically, you demand that voters be idealistic and support a third party. For people who claim to be so good at economics, they suck at game theory.
I think the problem is that Bush is a proven lying sleazeball (though he could just be really gullible), and Kerry is a suspected lying sleazeball (though the evidence is complex and iffy), so it doesn't really matter what a lying sack of shit says. Thus, promises and platforms are irrelevant, lying-sack-of-shititude is all that counts.
Except that you could never explain concordet to a layman. Somehow I think Americans would like a voting system they can actually understand. Approval all the way: it ain't perfect, but at least people know what's going on.
Interesting approach - possibly hire computer linguistic scientists to write laws? No more ambiguity, no more questions of scope, the next Patriot act done in Lisp.
Heheh, sounds suspiciously like Philosopher Kings (the concept, not the band).
Point: Bin Laden himself said that his first inspiration for 9/11 was the destruction of the towers of Beirut in the early '80s under Bush Sr. - people might not have thought that was an important election.
Now, he could be full of shit - he's an evil maniac. But either way, you consider how many of the mideastern psychos got their start under the CIA, and justify their actions with American and Israeli greivances, it is a point that this war was a long time in the making.
