  3. Socialized medicine. on Discuss the US Presidential Election & Health Care · · Score: 1

    the neo conservatives are trying to scare us away from real health care reform. I've been part of a socialist healthcare system and I love it. Many health issues that I put off because of cost under a privatized system have been addressed. I am healthier now and finally able to afford treatment for hearing loss.

    This socialized medicine is provided by the Veterans Administration. The problems brought on by the bush administration's draconian cuts have been addressed.

    I don't want cable down here. I don't have room for anything bigger than the 13" portable. I don't watch TV that much.

    I found out that the problem with Fox other than sucking, is a problem with the Channel they were given. They are trying to get it changed so they can reach our area. So far the FCC hasn't replied to their request.

    I have cable for one TV, but this one is not. It's mostly for my Playstation.

  9. Digtal problems on Complaints Pour In After Digital TV Test · · Score: 1

    I can't get Fox anymore, even with a very good antennae. Not complaining about missing anything because i don't like Fox that much, it's the fact that I can't get that channel.

    CBS (WKYT) drops quite a bit, so does ABC (WTVQ), but I do get more KET channels (Kentucky Education TV)

    When I get a good signal, the picture is fine, but too often I get "No Signal" or pixelated images, sound cutting out, and other such problems. I live within the city limits, on a hill. I should get great reception.

  17. Re:Any Evidence? on Diebold Patch May Be Evidence of '02 Election Tampering · · Score: 1

    This patch was not certified by the Sec of State. Nobody in that office even knew of its existence until it was already installed on all voting machines. When the Libertarian party started asking questions, all records of the election were destroyed, in violation of state law.

    In 2004 in Ohio a patch in the form of new hard drives, was installed in otherwise properly operating machines. The company doing this was Triad, a company with close ties to bush. Also, the Sec of State in Ohio was also co chair of bush's campaign. He also had unsupervised access to the main tabulator. When investigators started poking around, the election records were destroyed. A pattern?

    Diebold machines were programed Bob Urosevich a member of a cult, Christian Reconstructionist. It's a group with with the goal of installing a theocracy in the US and has strong Republican ties. Wally O'Dell, head of Diebold at that time was a member of this cult, and a bush Pioneer. He was the one that promised to "Deliver the electoral votes for bush."

    Clint Curtis has already testified under oath to writing backdoors into Diebold software to aid Republicans to fix the vote.

    James Baker III, bush family lawyer, admitted to Fixing the election in Florida.

    In California Diebold machines were "calling home" to Diebold headquarters during the election. Republicans did very well that election. During this time a Diebold whistleblower had to go into hiding. Diebold also tried to get homeland security to go after critics. Kucinich stepped in and told them to back off. They also went after some school kids who posted incriminating internal e-mails from Diebold. Again Kucinich stepped in, posted the e-mails on his .gov site and dared them to act against him.

    One of the voting rights activist fighting Diebold came down with pancreatic cancer. The online community raised the money (through paypal) for his operation. Supporters of bush and Diebold went to Paypal and presented false charges against this poor fellow. His operation was held up for weeks as we presented evidence to refute their charges. He finally had the operation, but the fast spreading cancer had spread to far. He died.

While the Mac license remains unchanged, the Windows license has been altered from "allows you to install and use one copy of the Apple Software on a single Apple-labeled computer at a time" to "allows you to install and use one copy of the Apple Software on each computer owned or controlled by you." The revision date on the license is March 26th.

  25. First impressions on From GNOME to KDE and Back Again · · Score: 1

    My first impressions of KDE were not good. It was Windows 95 ugly, and it crashed too often. Since then they have really improved, but I gravitate back to Gnome. I still have access to the KDE apps, but like the Gnome look and feel.

    OSX has really undercut Linux in this home. I can run my favorite Linux apps in OSX. Still I miss Linux and the fun I have with it. I'm looking for a laptop for linux. Someday the money will be there when the deal comes my way.

    I haven't forgotten you Tux. I will return some day soon.
