i was storing page screenshots on the 11th -- www.pbump.net/captures.html -- just for history's sake. nothing groundbreaking, and based on when i got up on the west coast, but still interesting.
it's a nice complement to the newspapers i also saved.
I believe that the issue people have with the President's having 'war time powers' is the fact that he, on rather specious evidence, declared this to be a war.
It makes me uncomfortable that all of a sudden we're at 'war', as determined by Mr. Bush, which conicidentally gives him greater authority.
...was at http://iserve.wtca.org/view.html -- not sure when if it was served from the tower -- if not it may have an interesting final image that was uploaded, like the stopped watches from hiroshima. i'm on dialup -- any broadbanders able to connect to it?
so they're laying off 38 of 41 staff and closing the doors? someday, open source archaeologists will reopen those doors and find their three skeletons surrounded by mountain dew cans . . .
1) Corel announces intent to work with Linux.
2) Microsoft invests in Corel.
3) Corel backs off on Linux.

I think my memory loss might be more related to the tendency of people my age -- smoking a lot of pot.

It seems that a solid way of combatting this and other filtering software is to locate and expose flaws in the filtering.
I think we should encourage every kid that goes through Bess to strive to find porn, etc., on the system, and then aggregate it for dispersal to the media.
The only effective way to beat it through people's heads that this technology doesn't do what it says is to show them.
Speaking from experience, non-profits cannot keep qualified IT people, because they can't afford good people, and training people to administer results in those people being hired away.
I don't like Microsoft, but it is the only company large enough to donate on a large scale whose products are simple enough, once installed, to require little administration knowledge.
Cisco also donates networking hardware for non-profit small offices, incidentally, which makes them a pretty good pair.
As a californian, i can assure you that bush would not win the majority of those absentee ballots, no matter how ignorant those military folks are.
This should not even be a choice!

The FUNDEMENTAL issues in this election are simple --
- either Gore or Bush will win the election.
- Bush is an un-intelligent puppet of the conservative right, who will say anything to get elected (like Gore) but then puts a smarmy, populist spin on it.
- Gore is admittedly intelligent, committed (he volunteered for Vietnam -- perhaps to support his father), and experienced.
- and, slashdotters, Gore knows technology. If the country were a tech firm, Gore would be writing Perl scripts in a room without windows and Bush would work for marketing on the golf course.
Sure, Nader's got cutesy appeal -- and if Gore were up enough in the polls, I might vote for him. But it is irresponsible of anyone to not recognize this election as a referendum on the TYPE of president we want -- someone with intelligence, or a Bush.

Point your employer to this Berkeley study, showing increased productivity from telecommuters.
