My wife is neither christian nor particularly politcal, but honestly cares about my happiness (a.k.a. love). I beleive it's for love alone that she takes the time to see my vitamins are set on my keyboard every morning, that there is an apple in my briefcase and that she comes down to my basement workshop just to see if I want a cup of coffee. It is love, not christianity, that prompts her to come by the office with an umbrella because it started to rain after I left home. Conversly, it is for love alone that I partake in a number of activities that hold no interest for me other than, 'It makes her happy'.
Most of my male friends are slashdot readers. Every one of our wives (except for the single guys, of course) are different women with different world views and opinions, even different racial backgrounds and religions. The 'old fashioned' thread that ties them all together is each has a vested interest in the happiness of their spouse. I think that's the 'old fashioned' value Rob was talking about here, not religion or politics. If that mutual respect for another's happiness isn't there, no common belief is going to keep a couple together.
I won't even try to define the average slashdot reader, but I doubt too many guys would have much trouble putting up with someone who cares about their well-being, be they christian, communist, or otherwise.
yeah, but it did a piss poor job of accurately portraying spy satellite technology. Too many Air Force and Agency people still complain about loosing the SR71 because of the inflexibility of satellites. But, I guess that's off topic. Still I have to agree, it was a good flick. It kept me interested for two hours where many techno-thrillers can suspend disbelief long enough to make them enjoyable.
Hams have been making dummy loads with resistors in mineral oil for years. Heathkit made one from a one gallon paint can that could sink 2Kw of RF for a few minutes, lower power for longer.
don't know if it counts as a cool site, but it sure looks a lot like my.netscape - http://www.webtrends.net - supposedly for registered users of their product, but seems to be wide open to anyone.

I use exciter, manalishi, sinner, ripper, etc. at home.

That's because the Government Printing Office is already known by most as the GPO. It's at http://www.access.gpo.gov/, if you're interested.
