Nonono, the key is don't "look for love", and especially don't look for love on a DATING SITE. I met my wife of 4 years, and have a son of 3 years, on irc (#rantradio [othersideirc]). Not 'looking for love', just hanging out and happened upon each other and hit it off. Today is our anniversary in fact.;)
Kinda like Broadcast networks really know how many people are watching over-the-air shows/ads at any time? They seem to have no ethical problems guesstimating an audience size that an ad is likely to reach and adjusting advertising rates... even a 'downloaded by ip' statistic is better than 'sample sizing' from a neilson ratings machine, no?
Warcraft 3, Steam (Natural Selection, CS:Source, TS, etc.), and Battlefield 2 are keeping my best box on windows xp. oh and the activex interface required by company for groupware/job invoice.
I'll tell you what this is... its CDDB all over again. CDDB (now 'Gracenote') took information submitted for years by its users under the guise of a public service, then turned around the turned it into a fully commercial entity, additionally requiring users to submit an email every time a 'free' use of the db occurs. (read: advertising dollars.)
Its a dispicable idea and whoring the information submitters' work. A simple everyone-can-update-the-page script is being used and abused to make money for a select group of people, while those select people are not the ones creating the content.
Anyone who suggests that the registry is anything more than just one big, ugly.INI or.conf file that is obfuscated on the filesystem level has never used regedit or performed automagic registry updates with windows login scripts.
The registry acts a system wide.ini file for both windows internal functions and third party software, sure sounds to have the potential of being one hell of a security risk. With 3ghz processors, 512mb ram, ata133/etc speeds, the tradeoff of tighter security for speed seems like it should hardly be worth it now.
And I take it that Berger was the only person from the Clinton administration or CIA/insert govt agency here/ of the day in question that was in the meeting with Bush administration people? Berger was not the incoming newbie that needed details, Rice was.
1992-2000 Republicans argue (and lose) that war record is a criteria. 2000-2004 Republicans argue (and win) that war isn't a criteria. Maybe war really ISNT a criteria (which would be a positive development for politics) and the strategy actually works. I for one didn't focus on John Kerry's war veteran status, I didn't even like him from the field of Dem primary candidates. Hell, even Sharpton would've been more upfront about precisely where he stands on a larger variance of issues.
And I sure as hell didn't start this crapfest, this person did.
The UN teams WERE in Iraq and WERE doing inspections, they just weren't finding anything. Bush and republican talking heads spun the hell out of it to make it sound like the UN wasn't even there. And guess what, Bush invades, and we STILL HAVENT FOUND A DAMN THING.
Not everything is a 'dem vs repub' or 'lib vs consrv' issue. Clinton ALONG with the CIA fucked up on bin Laden. Bush spent all the time up until Sept. 11, 2001 trying to get a goddamn Ballistic Missle Shield built and ignoring and trying to CUT FUNDING for counter terrorism, despite specific warnings about terrorism and bin Laden from the outgoing Clinton administration.
By the way, please explain how you basketweaved Clinton into this?
The issue of war service was a HUGE talking point for republicans, then when the Dems turn around and say 'oh yeah, got a decorated hero this time' the reps say 'its not important!' and 'superficial wounds!'. hypocritical and evil, despite being so effective. what the that bullshit group did to kerry was exactly on par with what bush did to mccain in the republican primaries... republicans do it to their own, too. The dishonor and disrespect shown to people who actually got shot at in a war for this country by the antagonists proclaiming to be patriots of is sickening and degrading to our citizens.
But keep up with your charade that all of the US problems after invading Iraq a second time are Clinton's fault. And let *random* moderators waste their points modding us both down b/c we're so fscking off topic.
I didn't say the UN would actually do it, hell I'm not even saying they should do it, but there is plenty of documented evidence that COULD concievably used to do it. Naturally, the UN wouldn't ever touch a US President (aside from some sort of full on nuclear strikes). I'm not talking about liberal or conservative UN idealists or even trying to allude to such a concept. I'm talking about violating international treaties and laws.
I try to keep my points grounded in some sort of seemingly reasonable logic.
Dismissing my points by picking one (that was a smartass quip of my own at the end anyway) and calling me a nut looks like a chickenshit way to divert the subject matter and avoid real dialog.
Say it with me, if the UN ever came to arrest an American President, it would be after a world war we started or a near apocalyptic war we instigated (I say 'near' b/c the UN still exists in that case) and nobody would give a shit either way, and even beyond that, this has nothing to do with the original points I was attempting to make the crux of my original response.
I'm suprised you got modded up for baiting AND complaining about my own getting modded up.:)
the same John Kerry that can form complete sentences and speak coherently in public.
That was enough for me.
Kerry was more of a scumbag than Bush? Kerry was a flip flop median appeasing p-o-s politician, who actually served in Vietnam and ACTUALLY GOT WOUNDED in battle, Bush was a flip flop christian right appeasing p-o-s politician who had only held the 'governor...light' office in Texas and had failed at EVERY SINGLE business he attempted, but always got propped back up by his dad's friends, the Saudis, avoided Vietnam by having dad's connections jump him up on the list of the Texas air national guard and even illegally left his air guard unit to 'work on an Alabama campaign', joined a secret society and got the nick name 'temporary', sat around for 10 minutes looking confused when told of the attacks on 9/11 (and the DAY before his administration had issued reforms to cut counterterrorism funding, despite being fully briefed by the out-going Clinton administration about terrorism), got his lawyers to create a supposed loophole to suspend haebeus corpus and lock anyone up indefinitely without trial and USED IT, lied about nuclear weapons to start a war... that last bit alone is enough to never vote for him again.
There is probably enough 'bad' about Bush for the UN to put the son of a bitch in jail.
It would be just fine and dandy to have a flashy bullshit GUI as long as its just changing options in a simply structured plain text file that can be managed by hand (and is TAUGHT as part of SAP admin training, *MORESO* than the GUI).
I avoid WIMP b/c I cannot stand the inefficient feel of the IIS GUI interface. A single apache.conf (and the ability to spread the.conf across multiple files for organization of sets of config options, ie vhosts.conf for virtual hosts) really IS much easier to deal with when you have the hang of admining both sorts. Having to right click and properties and tab and go to advanced on multiple items in multiple drop downs gets VERY frustrating. That said, I will concede that a WIMP is more likely to be more production stable on a winbox than a WAMP config, mostly b/c you will have more support in terms of 'wtf is broken'-kinds-of-issues when searching google.
You obviously haven't made much use of apt-get, emerge, or even an rpm-esque package manager. I'm primarily a windows admin but a LAMP install is both much more robust and much more useful than an average WAMP install. since when is a GUI more efficient? I can type and use keys to switch fields much faster than a mouse.
