That's most likely why they're attacking the occupying forces whenever possible: so they can take out the trash and organise their own form of government.
Of course most right-wing appologists will tell you that the Iraqis are backward people who are not capable of carrying out a democratic election by themselves. To those people I say: have a look at your own elections. Bush's appointment wasn't without scandal.
Search on google for 'us moon landing hoax'. There are plenty of respectable people who assert that the moon landing was a hoax.
No need to try to associate me with loonies without some actual substance in your reply; it only shows that you have no intention of listening to view other than the one you already have, which really puts you closer to the Flat-Earth Society than I am.
I saw a documentary on the topic about a year ago, which included interviews with people working in the Russian space program. They said that at the time they were all saying it was impossible with current technology, for numerous reasons, and that it must have been a hoax.
Apparently the US media chose not to cover this side of the story...
... that there was WAY too much radiation for the original moon landing mission to have been able to make it even 1% of the way there, as at the time no-one knew about the background radiation, so no effort went into shielding the crew.
But anyway, the US government told us that they were the first to the moon, and we all know that they don't lie. Weapons of Mass Destruction? Links between Bin Laden and Saddam? Attempts to purchase Uraniam from an African country? Oil not the issue? All the honest truth, they swear!
You have to wonder why SCO bothers putting such crap on their website.
There are a few sites, like say the Enlightenment web site that I visit regularly for updates, waiting for the news of the fabled E-17 release. And yeah I visit the MySQL site for the same sort of reason - waiting for News on version 5 with stored procedures.
But for Christ's sake, who in their right mind visits the SCO site for some light reading and news? Who? Not me. Not you. Maybe some Microsoft employees?
But seriously, why do they bother? Perhaps poor Darl is just taking the opportunity to get some stuff off his chest after all the flaming, death threats, and other such niceties that come with the job at SCO.
- Judges are appointed. For example, the entire panel of judges that appointed Baby Bush the President of the USA when he lost the election were themselves appointed by Big Bush a few years earlier. How will the current system produce judges that are acting in our interests?
- Anyone that decides to investigate the financial relationships between those profiting and... the others profiting will surely be assassinated.
Spam is the main reason I scored an old box from work and set it up as a mail / web server. There'e nothing more satisfying than watching the mail logs when spammers are being defeated by spamassassin / mimedefang. I'm starting to get friends and family sign up, partly because of the spam & virus filtering, partly because they can switch ISPs and not email addresses ( the main reason people use web mail, I think ), and partly because I offer IMAP over SSL access ( the other reason people use web mail - access from anywhere you can get on the net ).
I have honestly never had such a spam-free experience. It's well worth it...
All we need is a bunch of left-wing lunies to bomb the living christ out of the place for, say, six months. I suspect regime change will be easy. Clearly the Americans have had enough of their brutal dictator, and will welcome their terrorists... er... liberators with open arms.
Bring democracy to the world, my arse! Can't even hold a valid election in your own fucking backyard...
The problem with radioactive waste is that its half-life is in the tens of thousands of years. We don't know who's going to be blowing who up even this time next year.
There is the option of shooting radioactive waste into the Sun, if it can be done economically. But the problem is that when companies such as Enron and Haliburton get in the driving seat, they dream up 'better' plans such as burying it in an active volcano. Sounds too stupid to be true? Check out this and this.
Companies will dump waste where-ever the fuck they want, the money will disappear, the company will be wound up, and 100 years later, a community will notice that their cancer rate is 50x the national average because a container has broken down and radioactive waste is seeping in the water supply. Even here in Australia, the government is falling over itself to excuse the devastation caused by uranium mining that has resulted in large areas of land to be zoned a permanent no-go area. This land, and increasingly more and more land surrounding it, is now lost for at least 50,000 years.
I can imagine a society mature enough to have nuclear reactors, with proper government control over production and waste handling. But I have to concentrate very hard, and this society doesn't look much like ours. At present we simply can't risk allowing the likes of Enron, Haliburton, Shell, Taxaco, and fucking Bush & buddies to play with nuclear energy.
Disney have little regard for such concepts as democracy and consumer rights. They throw so much money at one particular senator that he has come to be known as the 'Senator from Disney'. Surely this is contrary to our image of democracy. Until they retire their constant stream of 'donations' and make a public apology for further corrupting an already pretty fucking corrupt political system ( land of the free, my arse ), I urge everyone to do the same as I do: hire their DVDs, re-encode them in DivX;) format, burn them onto CD, and distribute them as much as possible amongst your friends, reminding them each time why you have unresolved issues with Disney, and that the alternative - giving them more money - is only going to make matters worse for all.
An 'important' paper written by a scientist employed in the mining industry.
Oh yes and the university guy. Don't know exactly what financial links exist between the university and the people who don't like the news of global warming spreading.
Move along please. No global warming to be seen here.
Dude you have to get rid of that Slackware 4.0 install and get something recent going.

Copy and paste was never simpler. I taught my girlfriend's little sister ( 12 yo ) to copy and paste from Mozilla-Firebird into OpenOffice and she commented a couple of minutes later "... this computer is much better than any other computer I've used...".
"Linux intentionally makes it difficult for people to release binary-only drivers"? BULLSHIT! How does 'linux' ( whatever you're referring to there ) make it hard for people to release binary-only drivers? It doesn't. Utter bullshit.
Half of your post belongs in a Slashdot archive from 5 years ago, and the other half is lies, bordering on trolling.
Sounds like Red Hat simply couldn't get their product right, but don't want to accept the blame themselves, so instead try to take down the reputation of Linux-on-the-desktop to save their own repulation.
Fact is that Linux-on-the-desktop works quite well on my home PC and that of around 8 others I've set up for friends & collegues. Red Hat should look at their company structure for reasons as to why their products are too hard to support.
In all, it sounds like sour grapes. But I suppose Red Hat couldn't very well say:
Yeah. Linux is ready for the desktop. We're bailing out 'cause we can't get our act together, but we wish all the other Linux distros the best of luck.
The proposed US / Australian Free Trade Agreement will weaken our laws regarding media monopolies, and allow Murdoch and other right-wing penises even more control over our already pathetically one-sided news services.
If they're going to put so much money and so much effort into this, why do they have to research nuclear weapons? Surely we have enough weapons for everyone now. For fuck's sake. There's enough to wipe out all life on the planet hundreds of thousands of times over.
Why not research into harnessing different kinds of energy. Or search for a cure for cancer. Or look for fucking aliens.
But please. Not more fucking weapons. There are enough.
Regime change begins at home. Out with the terrorists. Especially the terrorists with double standards. Down with Haliburton too, which is a terrorist supply company headed by Rumsfield. Strangely enough ( as the article above describes ) it is scoring MAJOR contracts with the Pentagon and the Iraq 'reconstruction'.
The report adds that Lenslet has already started negotiating deals with the Israeli, US and Japanese governments for specific applications.
So I assume the 'specific applications' have something to do with killing as many Arabs as possible. When was the last time the Israeli government put R&D into anything else? Most of their members are under investigation for election fraud. And most of them should be in gaol for war crimes for their membership in Zionist extremist movements that were responsible for the 'cleansing' of Palestine, ie the killing, torturing and forced evacuation of millions of Palestinians.
If this company is 'in talks' with the Israeli government, then I urge all those with a consciense to boycott this company in protest of the biggest human rights distaster of this century.
Since the CIA are the biggest drug dealers in the world ( how do you think they fund things like the support of military coupe's in circumstances where the US population would frown on the 'intervention' ), they will be quite happy to see that the war against drug USERS has heated up.
There is no such thing as a war against drugs, just as there is no such thing as a war against terror. They are simple plays on words to avoid the obvious fact that the CIA is declaring war on US ( and other ) citizens.
I reserve the right to place MDMA, LSD, DMT, or whatever-the-fuck-I-want into my body, and if anyone has a problem with that, then they need to see a psychiatrist to discuss their control issues, which probably stem from their father beating up their mother, or raping them, or some other tragedy that they insist is the fault of the evil drug users.
The war on drugs ( as the war on terror ) is designed to benefit the CIA. In the drug case, it benefits their profits; reduced supply means increased prices.
The FTA is nothing but bad news for Australia. If nothing else, it further entagles us with the lunatic foreign policy of the US.
But of course the bad news doesn't stop there. Health care, local media content, copyright law, drug law, terrorist law, foreign ownership,... the list goes on and on.
For those who are interested, the ISO is holding a social forum this weekend, and will be discussing just such issues, and many more. It starts tonight ( 7pm ) and goes until Sunday. It's at UTS. See http://www.sydneysocialforum.org for more details. Honestly, this is the best place to discuss the issues involving the FTA, and build resistance groups to lobby the government. See you there!
I read recently - possibly in a New Scientist magazine - that some researchers had discovered something frightening about EMF radiation. They said that the radiation itself doesn't appear to cause cancer directly, but that when the body is exposed to EMF radiation, it stops repairing damaged DNA sequences so vigoroursly.
Sorry I don't remember too much more about it.
If I were you, I would err on the side of caution and stay right away from the damned things.
How about not bombing anyone at all? Iraq was no threat to National Security. YOU were the threat to THEIR National Security. Don't tell me you Yankees still believe the bullshit you're being fed over WoMD?
The US executed the biggest terrorist activity in recorded history: the 'Shock and Awe' campagin, not so long ago against the Iraqi people. Thousands died. This wasn't because the weapons weren't accurate enough. It's because the Pentagon deemed the Iraqi civilians to be expendable.
Plenty more Iraqi civilians have been shot while protesting about such things as food, water, and ( get the irony of this one ) PETROL. Numerous reports come out of Iraq each week about US soldiers shooting indescriminately into crowds of protestors to silence them and have them 'step back into line'.
Against this backdrop of US aggression, I don't feel particularly good about any weapons developments. Just who are they planning on 'defending' ( pre-emptively striking ) next? Surely having the largest stockpile of Weapons of Mass Destruction on Earth is enough for them?
AMD processors make sense for most people. They're cheaper and faster. Therefore no-one can make much of an argument against buying them.
But keep in mind that AMD is not a perfect company from the consumers' point of view.
AMD have expressed interest in supporting the TCPA by building hardware that only runs signed and authorized software. This can't be good for Linux, or any other OS apart from Windows.
AMD also withheld *very* important information from Linux developers regarding an AGP bug that was reported to Microsoft 18 months before a Linux developer stumbled across the details. Who remembers having to pass the 'mem=nopentium' option to the kernel as they booted?
AMD are great for us now in their current position - they encourage competition and create innovative products ( MS take notice ). But give them an inch and they'll take a mile. We'd all be better off if we could simply keep all companies in healthy competition with each other. OK, maybe reward those who offer consumer-friendly products ( eg no TCPA ), but I wouldn't go out of my way to penalize others.
