We can change the Constitution, and we swap horses in mid stream.
Plus, think of the parties in DC with Hillary in New York! Bachelor's night out for the next 4 years. You'd bet I'd be there to take sloppy seconds from Bill.
Umm, I didn't pay a lot of attention to this in high school, as I hung out with the band and role playing cliques, but emperically it's the most popular guy.
There is an election in the fall, at the high school footbal (American Footbal that is) homecoming game, the announcement of the winner is made, and the homecoming king and queen are announced.

No, wait, that last part is from a video I rented, Homecoming sluts.
America is a corporatacracy, always has been, alwyas will. America was founded by corporations (Hudson BAy Company, anyone), and corporations have caused America to become the great place it is, do you remember "What's good for General Motors is good for America."
Face it, despite the ravings of Browne and Nader, our children will grow up in an America that's largely controlled by corporations. Which child will be better suited for life in such a world, one who has experienced the give and take or corporations from day one, and knows that anything a corporation gives you will have a price tag, or a child reared in a socialistic society where the real price tag for things is dsiguised in fees and taxes.
What child will be better adjusted, a child who is used to watching corporations fiercely battle and evolve, or die out, or a child who has had their socialistic world suddenly trampled upon a change of governments?
Now, corporations do have their abuses, but they also have a vested interest in having healthy, affluent consumers purchasing their products. The only consumer goverments have are welfare clients.
Now, when are you going to do a line by line audit of every piece of software on the RedHat box for holes? When are you doing to check the million lines of Apache for overruns and underflows, then Perl, etc?
This sounds like a clone of OpenBSD. What benefits are there to doing this in Linux instead of working with a UNIX that's already been audited and secured?
And if one of those buildings had a sign in the window the same color as the laser, you might get some dangerous reflections.
In college physics we were playing with the Helium lasers, which are a nice, cheery red. Almost the same cheery red as Big Red gum packages, which I conveniently had, as it's good to have fresh breath all the time, you never know when you might meet a nice geek girl you want to impress with your fresh breath, and I've met my share, let me tell you.
Anyhow, I pulled out my Big Red wrapper, looked at the beam, and intercepted the beam with my Big Red wrapper. Wouldn't you know it, the Big Red wrapper is red because all colors but red get absorbed, red gets reflected. It was cool.
But, my labmate Scott, into whose eye I reflected the beam, was not amused. Sorry Scott.
aren't bad either, neither is the Wall Street Journal.
The Wall Street Journal is written for the moneyed class who control America, so it's important that they get accurate information. It tells the truth, though from a definitely pro capitalistic viewpoint.
I hear the Christian Science Monitor is real good, though I don't read it.
The BBC has always had a good reputation as a news source, they may even publish the Dubya abortion story. The British journalists have almost always taken the higher road wrt reporting, and rarely tarnish their reporting with the tits and ass common in American media.
Prior to the net, if your politics were outside the mainstream, be you a Gus Hall loving Commie or a die hard Joh Bircher, you had a lot of trouble finding kindred souls unless you moved to Cambridge, Mass or Montana. Now, you can instantly electronically commune with similarly disaffected souls.
I think it's inevitable that politic groups will splinter into thousands of smaller groups, though I don't know if this is good or not. It may be okay for a smaller country like France, Italy or the UK to have lots of small political parties that govern by coalition, and can fall overnight with a call for new elections, but that might be hazardous for America and world security.
The world looks to America for stability, and the world likes knowing that whatever president we elect will be for a strong military, pro-corporate democracy and the mass media. The world likes knowing an American president will stay in power for 4 years, ome hell or highwater.
If America starts acting like one of those second rate NATO countries that change government monthly, there might be less security and more unrest in the world, and that would be bad.
ea, like thermonuclear devices will discriminate based on who paid their yearly "missile defense fee".
I know! We can let private enterprise handle missile defense on a town-by-town basis. I mean, it works for cable TV and telephone service, right? Right?? RIGHT???
Yeah man, you got the idea.
And if your house gets nuked becuase your town's missile defense system wasn't paying their bills to a private enterprise over the horizon missile-detecting radar company, you'd get a refund!
Dang, we should get together and write this down, it will be better than Snow Crash.
Okay, so Mr. Browne wants to abolish the IRS and the Income Tax (yay!). But then he wants to offer $25 or $50b to whomever comes up with the first working missile defense system.
If not for the income tax, where will the money come from? National Sales Tax? Propery taxes? What? Are there other "necessary" projects that would be funded this way? If so, how will those get money?
You would have so much more money by not being taxed, you could make a vountary contribution to this. If everyone who felt threatened by missiles kicked in a few bucks, we might raise hundreds of dollars. Maybe the missile defense would only protect households who voluntarily paid (oops, that sounds like extortion, or a tax).
Plus, you would only send money to things you support, so no more free ride to the poor, crippled retarded and old. Just let them work for a living (but take thier guns first).
Their boobs would look funny, or explode

I'm sure there would be scads of pr0n producers (Vivid Video being the one that comes to mine) that would leap at the chance to produce a zero-g sex movie... just a though for our pr0n lovin friends
Most space stations run at an atmospheric pressure at about half sea level, though the oxygen partial pressure is of course normal.
So, if you can imagine what would happen to a highly pressurized bag of silicone or saline at lower pressures, pop!
Though I'm not very familiar with much porn (though I did really like Net Dreams, did anyone see that? It even had a plot, a cheesy midget and a fistfight, it rooled), does Vivid use normal breasted women or the pneumatic ones?

Respectfully, I beg to disagree.

always clowning around behing your back, making fun of you, walking into the wind, that danged in a box thing, and that frightening white facepaint.
I think a meme war would be a good thing, let see them stay silent when they get run over by a tank.
cuz I'm pretty sure spiralx is a UKians, and what would he do with USians dollars from ebay.
Kinda funny when trolls get trolled.
All five of the women that post on Slashdot can put up pictures of themselves, and Taco can run a poll.
Start here, or try a google serach, or a deja search.
I'm voting for a new generation, though I'm torn between

www.lpng.org

Looks like those damn hippies are at it again, trying to pervert the good old American spirit of throwing things with their drug induced ethos.
Look no further than here,, and search for a team named Loaded Boing, obviously a code word for a marijuana water pipe.
I hope they drug tested the contestants before the competition.
I do see they didn't do very well, proving once again that drugs are a handicap to all your endeavors.
Friday, the 20th.
Start here, or search deja for it.
I see the link talks about sending pathfinders to Mars.
Great, they'll be full of overweight soccer moms drinking Starbucks and running econoboxes off the road.
Unless the Firestones blow halfway to Mars.
So you want to buy some Netware 3/x books and software? I have lots.
I knew they were doomed once TCP/IP trumped IPX.
What's the next Ask Slashdot, Is Data General doomed?

And here I though the impetus for supporting the Nazis and rearming Germany came from the Krupp's, IG Farben and all the other German industrialists.
Try reading some William Shirer instead of the web. Heck, anyone can put up a web page, even Matt Drudge.

quite the soap opera
Hey Taco, did you ever consider renaming this to soapdot.org, maybe get a tie in with all the soaps, add some sections on Titans and Passions.
Maybe we can broaden the demographics here, and get some more chicks posting.
Ghod knows I have enough chicks in my life, but I feel for the less fortunate geeks that are making do with Rosie their palm pilot.
cyber'ing doesn't even get mentioned in the top five, yeah, right.
wassamatta Roscoe, jealous of the trolls?
