"Reagan didn't spend a cent without a Democrat congress voting for it, "
Reagan only had a Democratic congress the last two years. By then the budget was already bloated out of control.
What's also interesting is that every proposed budget by Reagan was actually larger in size than the actual budgets passed by Congress.
As far as Waco. Again, this is more of an example of the Republican form of government as the even happened only a month after Clinton was in office.
Waco was directly the fault of FBI and BATF leaders who had been appointed by the Reagan and Bush administrations.
If it's any consoluation, both Reno and Clinton apologized for the incident, and fixed the problem by firing the Bush appointees and bringing in people such as Freeh to clean up the corruption within the agency.
If it's one thing I hate, it's people who try to distort history for their only mistaken agenda.
Sigh, it's really disturbing when people just eat the crap shoved down their throats instead of using their head. I'm in my 30's so maybe that's why I no longer do this.
The Republicans don't believe in freedom, any more or less than the Democrats. They might say that in the campaigns, but they've been actively seeking to control your private live through acts of censorship, discrimination, etc. The fact that they've been actively working to repeal civil rights gains from 30 years ago should cause anyone concern.
This is not to say that the Democrats are saints, but they tend to try to protect the little guy from the big guys. It's the little guys who need the protection most often.
Another lie is that Republicans are for smaller government... This is factually untrue as the government has grown in size under every Republican administration.
Regulations are typically formulated by corporate lobbying groups and as such result in barriers to entry to the market, rather than restraint on existing entities.
Oh what else...
Oh yeah, your right. Not all Christians are in favor of censorship. But all right-wing Christians in favor of censorship are Republicans.
And yes, it's primarily the Southern Republicans who promote this evil. But that doesn't make the Northern Republicans less responsibile, since they are the ones kissing the south's butt for the petty votes.
I also disagree that Republicans believe in the free market, as they are the ones who frequently involve Government sticking their hands in to pick winners and losers in the marketplace. Look at how Bush is handling the economy today, the minute he get's into office he starts giving corporate welfare to all his patron companies. The Democratic approach, especially under Clinton, was far more Laissez-Faire.
As far as the Libertarians. Interesting philosophies, but they are definately anti-environment, as well as anti-safety. These are the people who believe that if you just leave everything alone, it'll all work out.
The Liberatarian idea of protecting the environment is to allow people to sue companies after hundreds of people have died from toxic waste dumped in the water system.
It's a reactive way of solving problems. Unfortunately it also has proven to be incredibly unsuccessful over our nations history. The fact that Libertarians cannot learn from past mistakes concerns me tremendously.
Interesting, considering the Republicans controlled both House and Senate in '95 when the CDA was passed.
At least in the Senate, they voted 84-16 for the measure.
Granted President Clinton did sign it, but still...
It always amazes me how ignorant Republican supporters are. Instead of going around accusing liberals of anything and everything, maybe it would just be better if you concentrated on educating yourself.
Good grief. The deathstar in Star Wars was manned by evil storm troopers of the imperial army. In Jedi it was still under construction and thus manned by Union contractors.
Obviously Jedi was a far more violent film. In Star Wars they deserved it, but in Jedi they were just innocent bystanders.
Not to mention the horrific depictions of ewoks dying by the dozens.
Hmm, but then again it does get more complicated when you look at things from the Republican perspective. Considering most of the deaths were these union contractors, they don't really count.
And of course all those cute ewoks... Well they were just getting in the way of fully utilizing the resources of the moon anyway. It's just those damn bleeding heart liberals like Vader who were moved by their deaths.
So I don't know... I guess maybe you were right. If the Republicans are going to ban one movie it will be Star Wars. While Jedi had far more violence, it was mostly justifiable. At least from the Republican perspective.:)
I've had dealings with MCS and have never encountered this type of attitude. Although we never told them to go design a program for us, but rather bounced ideas off them for potentional solutions to problems we were having.
Well, considering your posting record, I'd have to say the only person brainwashed is yourself.
You appear to have at tendency to go off on topics you know little about towing the Linux anti-Microsoft line. This just happened to be another such case.:(
Yep, the field is also used in DCE, exactly like Microsoft uses it. And exactly like Microsoft, the information on how the field was used has been open and published.
So it does seem that the corncob regiment is a bit questionable in their outrage.
If the trend continues, hey I'm all for it. But it's considerably wrong for you to imply that this is a long standing tradition of slashdot.
As you say, I've been reading this web board consistently since 1997 when the userids were first introduced along with moderation. Thus the #2322.
Unless slashdot has finally gotten rid of Roblimo, we can be certain that the habit of posting stories without verification will continue to some extent.:(
I'm certainly familiar with The Open Group. I used to admin a number of OSF/1 boxes back in the early 90's.
I did a quick search looking for such a discussion, but couldn't find it. I assume this must have been used at sometime within DCE or something? Interesting.
"Call your local Police or FBI office and tell them you plan on killing the President. Then count how long until you door is busted down and you're hauled off in handcuffs. "
Oh heck just send an email to whitehouse.gov
It takes about three days before they come to talk with you.
When I was working at a University back in around '94 or so we had a high school kid come into the public labs and sent off such an email.
Silly kid didn't think that the public labs have video cameras in them... He got a stern lecture by the secret service, but they didn't haul him away in handcuffs.
Actually it was the Nazi Party who wished to march in Skokie back in '76 I believe.
The reason why it is more signifigant that the Nazi Party wanted to march and not the KKK is because Skokie is a heavily Jewish populated suburb of Chicago.
No here we have a situation of a lot of people with corncobs stuck up their rear ends.
Microsoft didn't modify the standard, they followed it exactly to the letter. The fact that the Kerberos authors now say "oops, I guess we hadn't thought anybody would use that field" says nothing about standards compliance.
The Kerberos implemention of Microsoft's does interoperate with Unix implementations.
I know, because I have Unix machines in my home lab authenticating to a Win2k domain controller, the whole 'single signon' realized.
As far as Microsoft declaring war, keep in mind that the swarm of corncob laden assholes declared war on Microsoft first in full force by spreading lies about Microsoft standards compliance and interoperability. So I don't know how you could possibly take the moral high road on that one.
And like I said before, the only people who remotely cared about how Microsoft responded were those same corncob challenged individuals.
From everything I've heard, Microsoft is dead serious about adhering to standards. Honestly, they've already done a very good job at adhering to standards over the past several years.
As far as who is first... Keep in mind that everything new is old.
Most of what Sun created was done elsewhere by others. Even the web is just a new shell over the old mainframe terminal methods... ok, so it's got pretty pictures instead of just text.:)

Orin Hatch is one of the biggest attackers of hollywood in the government.
He comes out in favor of certain rights, but only because he is trying to harm the political power that Hollywood holds.
He has a clear ulterior motive, sheesh.
"First of all, that's a Government subsidy, which is COMPLETELY VOLUNTARY for any given library to accept. "
This always seems to be the excuse of Republicans when they violate Constitutional rights.
Why is that?
Then again, which party is pushing for censorship of the internet in libraries.
Oh yeah... The Republicans.
BTW, the V-Chip and TV ratings gave responsibility to the parents to control content within their own homes. I can't see why you would attack this.
You ask if liberals have brains, and then you prove that you yourself don't.
/. in years. I only wish I had moderator points to mod it up as informative.
One of the most amazing posts I've seen on

Umm, MCS is a profit center for Microsoft.
Just read any of their quarterly reports.
I've had dealings with MCS and have never encountered this type of attitude. Although we never told them to go design a program for us, but rather bounced ideas off them for potentional solutions to problems we were having.
Malcontent says "We are BORG! Resistance is FUTILE!"
Sniff...

You don't like me.
I feel really hurt.

Well of course 'Web Services' can be tacked onto Java. That's sort of the whole point.
Sigh, you obviously don't understand the platform independence aspect of SOAP.
Java with RMI isn't platform independent, it's just a whole new platform.
Whatever.
Yes, SOAP is an extension of XML-RPC.
As far as your other babble... Interesting, but entirely wrong.

Yeah right, remote objects over RMI versus remote objects over DCOM. Entirely dissimilar.
Now SOAP on the other hand is a completely different paradigm, which you obviously know little about.
From everything I've heard, Microsoft is dead serious about adhering to standards. Honestly, they've already done a very good job at adhering to standards over the past several years.
