Such a wild disconnect from reality. If I get into a debate with a liberal these days, I expect more times then not to be shouted at, spit on, or have the first punch thrown.
Very peace loving...not only have you wondered away from the things that you stood for, you've walked away from your core philosophies and embraced those that advocate violence as a means to an end.
Ever wonder why Hitchens joined with the right? Or why Horowitz abandoned the left for the right? These are deep seated questions that you should be asking.
Really? That's news to me...it really is. Especially with the Daily Kos right on their news page for all to see. Now if they had Free Republic on their page listed as a source, I'd agree.
Something to think on, perhaps it is a yawner for us. We've been hunting spammers for years, either on our own networks, against our own machines, or simply as fun for friends. You did missed some points in the article which was pointed out by other people in following posts.
Most of what was said is really good for the non-geeks in our midst. You know as well as I do that nearly everyone hates spam, hates those who commit fraud, etc. This is showing that someone behind the scenes is doing work on the network to make sure that these people are stopped.
We know it, but not everyone else does. Now I'm not sure about you, but I know of plenty of people who could do with reading this article...even if it's a yawner to you, me, and the majority of the slashdot crowd, it will be nice and heartening to them.
Oh. You mean when the democrats turned around and *asked* for protection from protesters. Funny how the protesters are not getting the same treatment in NYC. Of course if they break the law...things will be quite different.
People are nowhere near as tolerant of seeing their property and the property of others trashed in the name of 'freedom of speech'.
The rest of the world has already made up it's mind. It's an uphill battle compared to a downhill one, you know which one will be easier.
At this point it's a lost cause. Hackers, for good or ill are so vilified in the MSM(Main Stream Media) that once it(the MSM) collapses we'll have a chance to redeem ourselves. Until that happens, we have to put up with fuck-wits like those that are going to hit the RNC convention blocking out "freedom of expression" and ruin the name.
Here's a bit of reality for you. Saddam used terrorism as a form of state craft, allow it to modify your worldview. It was not a secular state, no more so then the USSR.
If someone wiped out your family because they disagreed with your post, would your reasoning be the same?
The real reasons behind terrorism are rarely discussed because they are complex. Terrorists are hardly ever crazed madmen, despite what Bush might insist upon. They are people with a grievance, but they choose to stand their ground in a way that many people find to be morally wrong. Suicide bombers don't want to kill themselves, rather they feel they have no alternative.
You are putting a urbane and diplomatic face on terrorism. Are they crazy? Yes and no, have a disturbed mental state. Absolutely. Have you ever met someone who was programed from birth to kill and wipe out people, with their highest goal being to kill as many as they can in a suicide attack? That at their 'age' of 7 or 8 they were angry they were not chosen to be put in the programs for martyr training. So they tried harder every day to get in, but was captured by the 'evil' Jews...who were not the cold murders that they were taught...but kind.
al-Qaeda terrorists are slightly different, in that most programing comes directly from fundamentalist teachings. It is still driven in most cases from childhood, from a young age. From the imams, from their 'teachers'. But those who do so, bind themselves tightly to them and the direct and core beliefs that to be a martyr is a holy thing.
Their grievance's are simple: If you are not one of us, you die. Convert or die. Not pure enough die. I can really list more examples.
It's very nasty world we live in. It's time for people to realize that in the last 2000 years, that this has been going on in one form in another. Either highscale war, or low scale war.
I expect to be labeled either a wingnut, a fundamentalist, or a rightwing wacko. I really don't care what you label me. Perhaps you could just say I have a 'grievance'. That is I don't like the idea of being killed by extreamist Moslems of any flavor. On that point, I should add...that 50% of them support individuals like al-Qaeda, Hamas, Hizbullah, etc. What does it tell you? I would say study some history on the subject, but I know most people simply disregard me when I say that.
I don't really care what people think or believe anymore, people will say Osama hoped to start a 'religious' war between the West and East. If religious means our life(including the freedom from religion) vs. their version of religion then so be it. Once more I say study the history of times past, it does not paint a pretty picture of 'Moslem' empires. For those still with the belief that the 'crusades' started this, they were a counter strike to a 'Moslem' empire attacking 'Christian' Europe...first.
For better or worse, this will not be over in our life time. More dead will lie at the feet of both sides until the countries who support the schools, pay the imams, and build the madrassahs which support these teachings stop. We will fight to preserve our way of life, they will fight to change ours and bring us under their sway. That is the sum reality of it.
70% of the libertarians are wacked as they stand. That meaning they stand 'too far' to the extreame at either end to be or be meaningful as a political force.
And before you ask, I am a Libertarian. I am probably the type of Libertarian you hate as well, a Conservative-Libertarian.
As for your question of how the "Sons Of Liberty" would respond, they'd probably have spit on the Democratic party with the 'aura' of fearish hate that they have been building on since the death of the 'old' Democrats in the 60's. They probbably would have said that those who placate and supplicate themselves in weakness before an enemy deserve the chains that they lay upon themselves.
Psst. Brush up on your "Son's of Liberty" history a bit. Much like the "Son's of Liberty and their Sedition and Treason Acts", I would like to see them come back into effect as well. That's how 'far' the "Sons of Liberty" went to protect this land, we are very close to the same point. Figure if we don't get terrorism under control, I give it 5 or 10 years before they are brought back into effect in order...for the only reason to control those who are doing harm to the country. Toss the PCness out the window...it's hurting...not helping.
Cheers mate. A few people know what you mean, many ex-Bloc countries know what you mean...atleast the ones that haven't been pussified. It was the US that broke up the USSR, helped re-unite Germany, helped free Poland. On and on.
You'll get the LLL's and moonbats decrying the US for their 'actions' but yep...God willing one of these days...we'll bring freedom to ALL of Korea.
Unless the barking moonbats say...no no no, that's a bad idea. Maybe they'd be happier with another 100 million dead from communists first?
The taxes on the taxes, the manufacturing taxes, the pre-production taxes, the impact taxes. The billing taxes, leverence taxes, equalization taxes, recoup taxes, connection taxes, 'privitization' taxes, property taxes, school taxes(sometimes not counted in your property). Then we can get into the hidden taxes that we know, consumer, non-consumer, 'fresh stock', non-fresh stock, refiners fees, and on and so forth.
I'm probably forgetting six or seven dozen others as well.
I figured mine to being around 58% on $72,658/yr, that means my take home after taxes was around $30k. The average income of my area is around $60,000(meaning I live in Oshawa, London, Oxford) People who live here at $60k, are living OK. In truth...that's it. 60k or even 70k is enough to get by with a family of 4. The biggest thing I see now, is incomes all over Ontario climbing above for a family over 100K that's not 'high living' thats one person supporting the family, one person to supply excess 'slush' funds in most cases.
Oh by whatever god you want...Canada Loves it's taxes. How else do we pay for blowing billions on useless programs? And throwing money away on 'legacy' and 'unity' projects.
The US cannot police the entire world first and foremost. Funny on the otherhand, since the entire world seems to want the US to...even tho it hates it 90% of the time unless they want something. It can try...but I unlike you don't want to pay 70% of my income in taxes. I am willing to pay my 'fair share' on the otherhand.
The commonly quoted '10,000' civilians was a very nice lumping of not only military individuals in 'civilian' clothes, they also counted anyone who was a faydeen. Psst...ask an Iraqi what they think...and if the cost was too high...not what the 'news' is telling you. Not what Chomsky is telling you, or Moore.
As for the ICC, you don't have half the clue as to why the US doesn't want to. Think of it this way, a country has a grudge against the US because of 'unfair' trade practices in their eyes. They sue in order to hold the US or that company up in the court while they finish their competing product. Friviouls lawsuits, see 'Universal Jurisdiction' which allowed any wingnut with a grudge to try and charge someone.
Take a look at Israel and the ICC, the ICC has no juristiction yet they are sticking their nose in internal affairs to condemn Israel while patting the Palestinians on the back.
You've got a lot to learn, try thinking 10 steps ahead rather then 2. 15 or 20 years ago during the cold war...back when proxy wars were common...that was what had to be done. Unless you wanted to see full-scale nuclear annaliation.
The UN will not have ANY mandate or ANY power until they remove non-democratic countries that do not; 1) respect their people. 2) have a binding constitution. 3) have a system of government that is subservient to the people. 4) have an media system which is private. 5) ensures that non-democratic nations do not have the same standing as democratic nations.
People can call the US a dictatorship and all the rest, I like calling Canada a dictatorship. God knows Darth Jean treated the country like his own piggy bank. The point is this, each of the G8 countries fall under those first 4 points. Each of the G8 countries fall under the 3 fundamental points of which lead to personal freedom.
1) Common Law (Upholds Property Rights) 2) Free Society (Liberty) 3) Market Economy (Wealth Generation)
Without those, and without the people having those rights...the countries in that organization are meaningless. It gives dictatorships the ability to be 'as powerful' as the EU, or the US. It gives butchering Syria or N.Korea as much 'moral' right as Canada or Japan.
You can not have a 'moral' organization which places corrupt, immoral, and terrorist entities at the same levels as those who are not. Our governments are accountable to US(the people)...me...you...the guy down the street.
Their governments are accountable the the guy holding the gun to his head, saying protest or die...then raping his wife and daughter for fun. Or killing someone to ensure 'loyalty'...
Bah...I don't care...mod me down, up. Kiss my ass...whatever. The UN is failing, because it puts the 'bad guys' on the same footing as the 'good guys'. If you are having a moral clarity problem trying to figure out the difference between the two...I'd suggest an actual trip to one of those 'socialist paradises'.
Sit in front of your computers, decry 'international law' but you fail to see the reasons as to 'why' it fails, bah. The same reason as to why the League of Nations failed, the same reason as to why the "Arab Leauge" are nothing but dictators who control hate filled media but are willing not only to condem us(the west) for 'evil' acts, but were unwilling to stop them from happening in their own backyard. The same reason as to why a war broke out a few hours from Paris...and it took NATO and the US to stop it. The same reason as to why Kofi is afraid of what the oil for food program will really show, and how 'deep' the corruption really is. You think the US is profiteering? Not even close. If you didn't hear...the UN head inspector for the "Oil for Food" program was killed by a bomb the other day. Very strange. Not to mention the governments who have the most 'vested' interest, want to turn this from a 'legal' to 'political' investigation. Ask why Kofi and the General council reprimanded and censured a couple of workers who wrote about what really happened in Africa. It goes on and on and on.
It's so damn corrupt that even ex-stalinists would be rolling with glee at the kick-backs.
Sorry. I've pretty much had it with handholding people through life. Stand up on your own two feet, and look up the facts yourself. You can think it's absurd, but hey...what do I know.
What do they call it...asymmetrical dysfunction? The belief that a PoV is propaganda when one doesn't provide the facts. I will say it once more, look it up for yourself...I will not hold your hand, I will not walk you through it either, prove it or disprove it yourself.
Just because I'm making a PoV statement once more without proving facts, crime is up in the UK since they banned guns, the same in South Africa and Australia.
What and actively patrol and that bandwidth that they cry is 'so' expensive?
Ugh. I have seen it up as high as 350 an hour on the listed account here, every couple of months I just kill it so it bounces everything. It drys up the spam then I get a month or so of blessed clean e-mail and I'm back to crap again.
The virus and whatnot are what really burn me, as you say...it's not hard to see machines like that on a network. Unless ofcourse you are an inept admin, or simply don't care. I've seen both tho.
We can both wish for the same thing, but until we complain and make sure that they kill them...it's not going to happen. They say bandwidth is an expensive resource...(insert favorite god here) knows we can pay enough for it at times...they'll scream over the stupidest damned things rather then going after the real problem of comprimised machines.
Really. Those types of machines really are the bane, since Comcast actually started 'doing' something I've seen *nothing* from them. My inbox was empty for the better part of 2-3 weeks, no spam just e-mail. Then yesterday, I start getting a barage of spam from asian open relays. 35 e-mails to 70 spams a day and now it's climbing through the roof, really now. Pop online and I see 207 spams. Gah.
I mean come off it. And you *wonder* why entire asian hosts are blocked. It's because of crap like that, secure your machines or boot the bloody idijits off of them.
I don't care if you are too stupid to figure out *how* to do it, pay someone, call that smart 12 year old who knows how but do it. But bloody well do it.
As many people who argue against it, and I was one of them for the longest time. I will say something...if you have a copy of XP with a trashed registry, System Restore is a useful...it will atleast allow you to recover the last 'good' version of the registry even if you can't boot into the machine via the recovery console.
It has it's purposes, it has it's failures, and then it has it's damndable damnation's, upon which hell itself gave it's blessings. *cough* Anyway, you are quite right in saying don't rely on it; don't. Rely on a 'good, solid, backup', rely on system restore to get you back up if you have a non-critical failure on the otherhand.
Hush now, you're making too much sense. That can be confudling to alot of people. Good post, if I had any mod points left today I would have modded that up. Instead, I'll give my voice in support.
It would be worth something to try anyway, when I picked up the board two years ago it was pushing almost $300. And was top of the line. lol In your case it's abit slow for what you want. There are some good gigabyte boards out now that are around $100, this one here seems to be holding it's own even being OC'd. But I'm just going to wait later in the year to upgrade the rest of this system. No real point.
If you do hear the caps going all the time, then there is a chance that the board may have sat for too long and they have started to crystalize or dryout. You could try to RMA the board to ASUS and see what happens.
I usually get this on my own setup a P4b-266 w/1.7(oc'd to 1874), but only after a reboot; and only do you hear it on re-init's prior to loading windows(pick a flavor) or BSD. Not when the machine is running.
I'm thinking that it's the little critters getting just abit too hot, I found that increasing the airflow and cooling everything down by a couple of degrees seems to make the noise go away. Unless...it's in the winter...in which case...the house is more then cool enough and you don't have to worry about it. heh.
The boards are good, but my man...were already looking at the operational product end for these boards and it's been two years since they came out. It took intel 6mo to come out with the 533, then the 800's. I kick myself in the ass everytime I think on that...and and buying a AMD next time around; I can get a proc and board twice the speed at half the price for what I paid for this one.
Doesn't matter if it's lead, or DU. If we used copper, then you would cry when people got copper poisoning. If we used iron or steel rounds, you'd say the same thing.
Enviromentalist bullshit. I'd be more worried about the mercury, and trace chemicals that have been found in the rivers. As for those 'pictures' they look far more remarkable and similar to chemical weapons poisoning then anything. More so when you look at what's going on with the generational breakdown of the kurds and how it's affected their DNA.
I remember building several hundred PII's and PIII's during my earlier days, quite fun. My first machine was actually an AMD 386DX40, it impressed me to no end. But, I like you had real issues with heat...I was building a machine for a couple of snowbirds who would take theirs south of the border every year in their car, well Intel won out because of the thermal protection built into it. I got lucky as my friend was willing to order dupes of the entire setup and give me one system for the amount of business I've pushed to him in the last two years.
Well my next machine will be AMD, I can't first understand the need for an expensive processor that will not keep pace with a slower one, that's half or a quarter the cost. It's simply not effective in pricing.
With your last point, adapt or die...is far too true. AMD went through that lesson a few years ago and look what we have now. Very impressive to say the least.
Damn I'm glad you posted that. I was going to actually write something very close to the same. My next builds will all be AMD for various reasons listed here(and not), but Intel has been borking along for far too long.
Intel has become the underdog either refusing to look and devlop or thinking that 'name' will build and hold them marketshare. GM, Ford and Chrysler thought the same way back in the early 80's and it nearly killed all three. It may well kill Intel off if they don't smarten up.

Spelling and Grammar Nazi's can pike off.
Sorry. I've pretty much had it with handholding people through life. Stand up on your own two feet, and look up the facts yourself. You can think it's absurd, but hey...what do I know.
What do they call it...asymmetrical dysfunction? The belief that a PoV is propaganda when one doesn't provide the facts. I will say it once more, look it up for yourself...I will not hold your hand, I will not walk you through it either, prove it or disprove it yourself.
Just because I'm making a PoV statement once more without proving facts, crime is up in the UK since they banned guns, the same in South Africa and Australia.
*cough* Lower crime rate? Right...just take a few more tokes.
Figure it out yourself, and you get to see that all of Canada's major cities would rank in America's top 20 most Dangrous cities to live in.
Enjoy, and leave the 'you have the right to defend yourself' south of the border. Liberal propaganda is a wonderful thing...
What and actively patrol and that bandwidth that they cry is 'so' expensive?
Ugh. I have seen it up as high as 350 an hour on the listed account here, every couple of months I just kill it so it bounces everything. It drys up the spam then I get a month or so of blessed clean e-mail and I'm back to crap again.
The virus and whatnot are what really burn me, as you say...it's not hard to see machines like that on a network. Unless ofcourse you are an inept admin, or simply don't care. I've seen both tho.
We can both wish for the same thing, but until we complain and make sure that they kill them...it's not going to happen. They say bandwidth is an expensive resource...(insert favorite god here) knows we can pay enough for it at times...they'll scream over the stupidest damned things rather then going after the real problem of comprimised machines.
Really. Those types of machines really are the bane, since Comcast actually started 'doing' something I've seen *nothing* from them. My inbox was empty for the better part of 2-3 weeks, no spam just e-mail. Then yesterday, I start getting a barage of spam from asian open relays. 35 e-mails to 70 spams a day and now it's climbing through the roof, really now. Pop online and I see 207 spams. Gah.
I mean come off it. And you *wonder* why entire asian hosts are blocked. It's because of crap like that, secure your machines or boot the bloody idijits off of them.
I don't care if you are too stupid to figure out *how* to do it, pay someone, call that smart 12 year old who knows how but do it. But bloody well do it.
As many people who argue against it, and I was one of them for the longest time. I will say something...if you have a copy of XP with a trashed registry, System Restore is a useful...it will atleast allow you to recover the last 'good' version of the registry even if you can't boot into the machine via the recovery console.
It has it's purposes, it has it's failures, and then it has it's damndable damnation's, upon which hell itself gave it's blessings. *cough* Anyway, you are quite right in saying don't rely on it; don't. Rely on a 'good, solid, backup', rely on system restore to get you back up if you have a non-critical failure on the otherhand.
Hush now, you're making too much sense. That can be confudling to alot of people. Good post, if I had any mod points left today I would have modded that up. Instead, I'll give my voice in support.
Quite. Glad to see someone caught that.
It would be worth something to try anyway, when I picked up the board two years ago it was pushing almost $300. And was top of the line. lol In your case it's abit slow for what you want. There are some good gigabyte boards out now that are around $100, this one here seems to be holding it's own even being OC'd. But I'm just going to wait later in the year to upgrade the rest of this system. No real point.
If you do hear the caps going all the time, then there is a chance that the board may have sat for too long and they have started to crystalize or dryout. You could try to RMA the board to ASUS and see what happens.
I usually get this on my own setup a P4b-266 w/1.7(oc'd to 1874), but only after a reboot; and only do you hear it on re-init's prior to loading windows(pick a flavor) or BSD. Not when the machine is running.
I'm thinking that it's the little critters getting just abit too hot, I found that increasing the airflow and cooling everything down by a couple of degrees seems to make the noise go away. Unless...it's in the winter...in which case...the house is more then cool enough and you don't have to worry about it. heh.
The boards are good, but my man...were already looking at the operational product end for these boards and it's been two years since they came out. It took intel 6mo to come out with the 533, then the 800's. I kick myself in the ass everytime I think on that...and and buying a AMD next time around; I can get a proc and board twice the speed at half the price for what I paid for this one.
Doesn't matter if it's lead, or DU. If we used copper, then you would cry when people got copper poisoning. If we used iron or steel rounds, you'd say the same thing.
Enviromentalist bullshit. I'd be more worried about the mercury, and trace chemicals that have been found in the rivers. As for those 'pictures' they look far more remarkable and similar to chemical weapons poisoning then anything. More so when you look at what's going on with the generational breakdown of the kurds and how it's affected their DNA.
I remember building several hundred PII's and PIII's during my earlier days, quite fun. My first machine was actually an AMD 386DX40, it impressed me to no end. But, I like you had real issues with heat...I was building a machine for a couple of snowbirds who would take theirs south of the border every year in their car, well Intel won out because of the thermal protection built into it. I got lucky as my friend was willing to order dupes of the entire setup and give me one system for the amount of business I've pushed to him in the last two years.
Well my next machine will be AMD, I can't first understand the need for an expensive processor that will not keep pace with a slower one, that's half or a quarter the cost. It's simply not effective in pricing.
With your last point, adapt or die...is far too true. AMD went through that lesson a few years ago and look what we have now. Very impressive to say the least.
Regards.
Far too true. If I had a couple of points I'd mod that insightful as well.
Damn I'm glad you posted that. I was going to actually write something very close to the same. My next builds will all be AMD for various reasons listed here(and not), but Intel has been borking along for far too long.
Intel has become the underdog either refusing to look and devlop or thinking that 'name' will build and hold them marketshare. GM, Ford and Chrysler thought the same way back in the early 80's and it nearly killed all three. It may well kill Intel off if they don't smarten up.
