You have no idea what I am talking about. It is not a "field" like anthropology. It is a construct. Something to BE STUDIED. There is a famous book, which I can derive by your comment that you have not read, called "Orientalism by Edward Said. Read it, then come back into the game.
Um, the oil is not brought to market by Iraq. It is traded for food and medicine concessions. Who profits after that? That's Big, American dominated Oil, my friend, ran by the friends of George insured by Saddam's great buddies: Cheney and Rumsfeld. The irony is that France does have a stake in the oil in Iraq. If the US conquers Iraq, then a major supplier of oil to France will be controlled by the US. Time to deal with the devil.
Besides, if the US really wanted Iraqi oil for cheap, they could just lift the trade embargos. Much, much simpler, a lot less costly, and bloodless.
Actually, the embargo keeps the prices down since Iraq is not allowed to sell the oil for profit only food and humanitarian needs. Try again big guy.
This "it's all about oil" argument is a complete liberal cop-out. They can't come up with a real argument so they say it's all about oil. Equivalent to name-calling.
Name calling? Real argument? Did you see that laughable speech by the usurper last night? It isn't about terrorism, it's about peace in the Middle East. What a dumbass. How the hell does killing countless people in Iraq help peace? -1 + -1 = ???.
Did it confict with the European idea that they were the center of science and religion?
Actually, in a roundabout way, you are on the right track. One of the tenets of Orientalism is that Oriental cultures by definition are degenerate and in decline. Occidental cultures are, in contrast, always progressive, especially after the 14th Century CE. Occidental cultures are all European countries and their descendant cultures that are ruled by people who have European origins -- a notable exception being Slavs. So, the point is because this supposed technology rose from an Oriental culture it is either the product of interaction with ascendant Occidental culture or an anamoly. In either case, it must be erased. See Richard Perle and Wolfowitz for the contemporary personification of academics who think this way. It's called "the colonizer's model of the world."
Since you haven't been charged with anything, your Constitutional pontificating is irrelevant. Remember, all that 4th amendment stuff only applies to people who have been accused of a crime. If you were sued for copyright infringement, then in a civil court the burden of proof lies, at least equally, with you. That's a fact.
Trouble is: your average P2P user doesn't have a copy of the CD or DVD to match up to the movie or music they have downloaded. If this is so they are in violation of the law for infringing on copyright. This is the law of the land (the US that is) and, until someone changes it, it applies to everyone.
Our boss keeps shooting the requisition down for a cheap Mossberg. Nothing talks to a dorm full of music thieves like buckshot. We do have a pistol in the On Call kit. Three bullets -- one for the equipment, one for the user and one for yourself.
Where could you possibly find lots of bright, entrprising, "think out of the box" people, with some time on thier [sic] hands, who might be able to circumvent any measures taken to stop file sharing.
You are an ass. Universities are enslaved by long term software contracts to the tune of millions of dollars a semester let alone a year. At my school, Microsoft audits so much that they should just set up a branch office down the hall. And we still have to pay fees for grossly obsolete and hardly utilized software like Lotus Notes. If you go the the University computer store and get free software or deeply discounted titles, then assume it is coming out of your tuition and/or the taxpayer's pockets.
Is to have as few as possible cats to keep track of.
No way. The best way to herd cats is to give them catnip and then move in with a frontend loader. Otherwise switch to an animal whose very nature tends toward the herd mentality: Microsoft Users^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^Hsheep.
Nope. You don't need a paid subscription. This is a myth. You do need one to get a seat when the servers are busy. Otherwise you just need to ftp the packages from a mirror.
And let's face it: if the patch is available but not applied, it's not Microsoft's, Oracle's, Linus's, or any other vendor's fault--only the SysAdmin in question.
And when the patch wasn't included in the standard WindowsUpdate and, then, required the bell, the book and the candle to install once you figured out it was necessary, what then? Whose fault is it then? The very least you can say is: both!
Even the decentralized Open Source way of doing it gets it better than MSFT's shitty way of doing things. To wit:
On Redhat: $ up2date --update
On Debian: # apt-get update
On FreeBSD: # cd/usr/ports/packagegrp/packagename && make install
Shit. You can put the first two in root's crontab.
Come on. MSFT is too big a monster to get a free pass on anything. They shouldn't even get a pat on the head when things go, merely, horribly wrong.
Ugh. The colonizer's model of the world strikes again. There were people in America before the disease ridden, mass murdering Europeans showed up! Cahokia was a large city until smallpox swept across the continent after Spanish contact. When everyone else showed up in later years, it seemed empty because the only people left were the descendents of the folks who surived being the earlier plagues. Yes, the archaeological evidence exists. I'd have to take you there though...
There is nothing inherently wrong with such a position. To say that someone is wrong for saying so is illogical. It's called a tu quoque argument. Example:
Father: Son, don't smoke. It is a filthy habit and will kill you lights cigarette
Son: But you smoke! Why shouldn't I smoke? You are a hypocrite.
BONG! Wrong. While it may be necessary to point out the hypocrisy of the father's statement, the son's "And You Too!" reponse is not sufficient to outweigh the father's sound advice against smoking. The father could be addicted or could be speaking from experience. He may have a lung disease or have trouble with social situations because of the stigma against smoking.
I guess the point it: Microsoft can do what it is doing and still remain consistent as long as it offers sufficient evidence to do so. Personally, I doubt they will on a more global front, but if they build "own" spamming into their EULA, what to do?
Actually, it is not so bad. Incredible jazz scene and the best bluegrass night (Behind the Barn at Barley's) you'll ever see for free. Clarence Brown Theatre is great at the University and you haven't lived until you've seen a Kubrick triple feature at the Tennessee Theatre for 5 bucks with Bill Snyder firing up the Mighty Wurlitzer. Then there is great backpacking, mountain biking and kayaking too. But you also have to put up the the Orange and White Nuremburg Rallies called UT Football games, people who use the word 'coon' in polite conversation to refer to African-Americans and a state government run like the Ottoman Empire on acid.
Doctorate here I come. Damn, Worcester isn't much better...
Look. It's a trade off. Go to Carnegie-Mellon, meet other geeks and commiserate. Go to a state university, meet some kindergarten teachers-in-training and get some shaggin' done. You can't have it both ways, or can you?
once upon a time, i lived next door to one of the members of drivin 'n cryin
If you see Kevin,tell that bastard to gimme my water bong back. Well, I should never have trusted him anyway! You know how marginal rock stars can be.I guess I am just scarred but smarter....

Palm PDA Roundup
·
· Score: 0, Flamebait
Being a geek's gadget,:) I would recommend you guys to check out this roundup if you are planning to get a new Palm PDA.
Ah, the semiotics of the pocket protector. So which 'gadget' are you? A nerf gun? A USB storage pen? Or something sexy? Double-headed and runs on batteries?
Get a Packeteer. Start shutting down ports and banning MAC addresses. Carve the link into a student only side and a staff only side. Get the Student Judiciary involved and your General Counsel as well. They will start behaving properly. You hold all the cards. The network is a privilege not a right.
A drug smuggler has also committed a crime. We can use a sniffer dog at an airport to sniff everyone and find him. The network is not your house, it is a corridor at the airport. You have no expectation of privacy. As a matter of fact, the network is not even yours, especially at a public University.
The Constituion and the Bill of Rights (of the US I am assuming) does not exist to protect a criminal's activity: only the criminal's civil rights. A criminal has forfeited his right to privacy when he is committing a crime and sharing illegal software is a crime.
Most of the people who defend stealing movies and music and software are afraid that someone is going to come after them for the horde they have. Well, no shit. You are hording stolen goods. You are a thief.
Without the constitiution, we are no longer a democracy.
Oh, ugh. If you think the U of Wyoming is an attack on democracy and freedom, then let me introduce you to George "Yosemite Sam" Bush and his sidekick John "Like Himmler without the whimsy" Ashcroft.

It's just more fodder for those promoting a switch to open software.
Which has what to do with P2P and stealing music?
Well, the moral high ground is the only place with elbow room anymore.
Our boss keeps shooting the requisition down for a cheap Mossberg. Nothing talks to a dorm full of music thieves like buckshot. We do have a pistol in the On Call kit. Three bullets -- one for the equipment, one for the user and one for yourself.

I'd be interested in going to one in the Knoxville area as long as:
1) It's nowhere NEAR anything to do with UT
2) They serve beer.
McCleod's Market Square. WiFi. Sierra Nevada. No students under the age of 25.
Right. And all those hot drama chicks (or guys) really want anything to do with /.ers? Puhleaze yourself. Heh. Double entendre ...
