Except the way it is now it protects the US from a bad California person sweeping their own state and being beholden to only a small geographic area.
Before the times of easy speaching (pre-train) and adds in general (pre-TV) it was more important. Now we can get lots of info even on the non locals.
But is still stands as a protection against someone who benifits a few large states and says fuckall to the rest of the country.
Of cousre it also alows someone to say fuckall to a state where they have 40% of the vote and focus on areas that are more 50/50. SO it is not nessicerily any better, but does have a purpose.
Fair would be if the currancy had an accurate value.
Fair would be if they had to play by some set of rules where entire ciries are not left without clean water do to by products. Competing with sweatshops and artificially devalued currency is not fair compatition. It's cheating.
Actually Beware of Dog is an admission that the dog is violent, and makes things worse if you are sued (why was the dog out unattended if there was a reason to Beware?).
What you want is a Dog on Premmises will convey the same message without the admisssion.
If I download the linked version of Opera am I in Violation of the GPL?
I know that Opera paid to build on the library with closed source software, but I have not. And if I am not mistaken the QT library on my computer is GPL not LGPL therefore I am likly violating the GPL running a closed source app linked to it.
In OSX you cannot control the mouse speed, only the accelleration.
It should have an expert mode that allows them to be differentiated.
The slow movements on the touchpad of the laptops are infuratingly slow. If regular users get confused by the difference between the two it is no reason to eliminate that control.
Thats the only one I can think of off the top of my head (I don't really use OSX that much), but I think that there are options that should be settable in OSX that just aren't.
Look at the trend of executive pay after the elimination of the top tax bracket. Obviously people are keeping more for themselves now that they get to keep a whole lot more of it for themself.
Or are executives just that much better then they used to be so it is in the companies interest to pay them more?
Redistribution of wealth on a small scale is not communism.
Complete elimination of personal wealth is.
And a lot of these people should not be making so much money. I hate it when people are like look how much more money I made such and such fund/company worth. It's only right I get 10s of millions of dollors.
Any dumbass can make a fund grow in up times, andif said fund/company were to lose value or under perform I doubt sai person would be willing to fork over 10s of millions of their own dollors.
Taxing money over large quantities is a way to encourage people to look after their employees (and is not done enough)
It's a lot harder to fuck your employees out of 1,000,000 dollars of bennifits for 300,000 dollars then it is for 600,000 dollars.
You need ot buy from a company that prides themself on high quality long lasting products.
I personally baught a camera a little over a year ago and the specs were not tops even at the time, and the reviews were luke warm or rave, but nothing inbetween. But I would say it is a very strong camera. The things it has though to make it long lasting are not the resolution, it is only 3.9 meapixel.
It has a decent size (not quite pocket) with a magnesium case. It has been pushed off a table onto cement and taken no damage. I am sure the company that produced it will support it for a long time to come (Leica). And it takes beautiful pictures (for 8 x 10 anyway) with no shutter lag. The white balance is fairly good, with a setable options, and the flash can be set from dim to very bright (for a built in).
The camera is now "obsolete" but will be useful for a very long time.
Not all cameras are pushed out junk, and I am sure that even the companies listed make soime good stuff meant to last.
I have a inline 4 170 HP with a 6 speed manual trans too, and you get better milage then me.
Mine is rated 21/28
I get 24 or 25 average with never less then 23 and a high aroung 30 (9 gallons over 280 miles) wich did include grid locked traffic for an hour and a half (leaving long island at 3:30 pm on a Friday).
I know I read an early review of the Honda hybrid (the one that slashdot linked two when it was brand new or not out) and the author claimed 70+ MPG when driving on hills (but highway) and trying to keep milage up. They are rated at 50 MPG I believe and all I hear is claims they do not get as good as advertised. So maybe reviewers in general can't devide or something.
Even my 10 year old saturn got what it was rated for in general use, though I never got the 33 Highway that the EPA claimed even when it was even only 5 years old. I believe it was 25/33. I consistently got 28 average use with about 31 on trips.
I am not in an arguing mood and really without a lot of work will not be able to intellegently counter anything you said (assuming there is valid arguments against it).
I will say my first post was just a random way of interpretting statistics that drew a different conclusion, it was not supposed to be informative, that was a fluke of the same bad modder I assume.
I will say that I get my news from un-abashed liberal sources (NPR/Daily show (which does report on some facts, and you can tell when they are faking it)). I am also unabashedly liberal (duh).
Part of my problem with the conservative party (besides the fact that I am socialistish) is the inclusion of morality into the party by the "religious right".
A quick example would be the sttel tarrifs. Not to protect us against near slavery produced items from China, but to protect us from the northern European nations. Why can't we compete on an even footing with a country that is stifling its economy with more taxation than even I would want? I would like to think we can compete fairly with them.
And what about the farm subsidies? That too I find incredibly awful, but at least I expect it from Democrats, but the republicans doing it makes me sick. We unfairly subsidize our farms and then tell Mexico if they tarrif our products it inhibits free trade. Free trade was already inhibited by us though.
And why are the conservatives for a stronger war on drugs? And more regulation of free speech (I hear more desire to regulate cable with FCC laws from conservatives then Liberals, though anybody who wants to take the Shield away from me pisses me off).
These are things I expect from big government not small.
As for Iraq/Abortion reporting, I was always well aware that Iraq had a small to large majority of support, when bases on false pretenses, and even was 50 50 or so when we knew the truth. And anyone who thinks everyone ( or even more then about 50%) of the population is pro choice is stupid as hell.
I am personally pro choice but don't think it is constitutionally proteced, and if Rowe V Wade was overturned I don't think it is the end of the world (since I think that was a bad judgement call on the supreme courts part).
I also am very pro second ammendment, I think the right to bear arms is essential (especially as I see the country going further right:) But I don't think it applies to carrying a gun, nor even to a right to hunt. I think it applies to the right to stock pile weapons and have them and know how to use them, the only other use beyond that I see in the constitution is defending the country or overthroughing the government.
The only reason I meant to reply was I think your last sentance is just wrong based on my observations and I get my news exclusivly from left sources (except I listen to Mike Gallager also, and a fairly conservative in the libertarian sense local (so he ends up going "left" on some topics in as much against the established conservative base).
The media may be liberal, but the information that people actually absorb (talk raidio) is convervative, and that is a large part of the media too.
Blah Blah, I apologize to anyone who read this far.
Thanks for your responses too people, and Mods, again I would like to tell you top fuck yourselves.
I don't know who modded you as a troll, I hope the lose privleges though, it was wholly innapropriate abuse of the mod system.
My point was (perhaps totally wrong though) that the new people have full access to wire feeds and untainted news. They then filter what they report on and we are somehow farther right then them?
It is not possible that even though the bulk of news people (who see it all) are left leaning relative to the bulk of the population (who only sees what they show us) is evidence that their filtering of the news we see leads to a right leaning bias. This filtering is probably done by the more right leaning members of the media (higher in the conglomerate).
The same aticle (In the Times I think) said that Gore could of won too. It all came down to how things were counted. If we were allowing the losest iunterpretaion of what is accteptable in absentee balots and the strictest in machine voting then yes Bush one. If it was the other way Gore won. The specific interpretations were never voted on because things were rushed. Though you may be refering to a later article that I do not know about in which case I will defer that point since it is irrelavent anyway. and only supports the idea that the media is unbiased (un left leaning).
Well, I am getting 250-350 KB/s from the Hamburg mirror, using my upstream bandwidth and risking trouble from my ISP is an idea too ahead of its time for me.
What would the Bit Torrent do for you that a regular download would not?
Slashdot Mirror

If noone uses their version of the tool how can they be expected to have it tested?
Fair would be if the currancy had an accurate value.

I think you are mixing up refresh rate and frame rate.
PDF creator only makes PDFs.
Acrobat has lots of good features in it besides that.
For example fill in and save PDF forms. Digital signatures. Save as images. You may not do anything besides make PDFs but someone is bound to.
On the zip front ARJ folder all the way, though XP has compressed folders built in now.
PDF Creator is a very poor substitute for Acrobat.
I would switch mine because the touch screen randomly drops out sometimes mid stroke.
Last I checked this was a bug without a fix.
Also it is frikken huge. Not so big as to be terrible to carry in a sack or briefecase or something, but too big to carry in a pocket.
About QT liscensing.
I have a burning question.
If I download the linked version of Opera am I in Violation of the GPL?
I know that Opera paid to build on the library with closed source software, but I have not. And if I am not mistaken the QT library on my computer is GPL not LGPL therefore I am likly violating the GPL running a closed source app linked to it.
Can someone clear this up for me?

Maybe you need to look up what commuism is.
Redistribution of wealth on a small scale is not communism.
Complete elimination of personal wealth is.

I use alt-f2 in KDE
and I am sure there is a similar in GNOME.
The menues are only for when I am looking for something I don't know.
FWIW
Because this site is unabashedly pro linux, and bashing MS helps rally the troops.
Much like right wing talk raidio.

I fisrt saw this in BeOS
A long while before XP.
like a couple years.
KDE had it as an option for a while too, though maybe not pre XP Betas, but probable was.
Neither of these to my memory though had an auto grouping if X number of tasks are running option.
Why do people buy 4 banger?

Well if people with unfiltered access to the facts are farther left then the general populace I would take it as evidence of right leaning media.
Unfiltered news access 7% Bush Sr.
Us (after these left biased outlets filter what we see and hear) 37% Bush Sr.
How could those numbers be construed as a leftward force by the media?
I like what Al Franken said (paraphrased).
There is a left bias in the media, but it is not near as strong as the money making bias.
Also I would imagine the more in charge people are the more likly they are to be right leaning (just like any other corporate conglomerate).
It says "To the extent of the law"
The author was suggesting a law (which does not apply unfortunatly since it only covers cars).
So there is deffinatly room to pursue liability there.

What would the Bit Torrent do for you that a regular download would not?
I would start looking for a new job. You can only move up or out they say.
Also there is probably going to be some resentment when the boss realizes that you were the first choice (if they do not already).
Great,
So does that work by scaling to my window size?
I make the window larger hoping that I get to see more, nope some smartass decided I get everything scaled up, thanks a lot.
