Unfortunately, terrorism is a more basic issue. I called Bush a moron when he announced a 'war on terrorism'. Terrorism has been around since the first time a bully began to push around his/her neighbors- and that goes waaaaaaay back. Before government, before foreign policy, before natural resource needs, etc.
I think the best ways of combating (used loosely here, not preemptively) terrorism, is to loosen the constraints of the peoples out there. This allows bullys to bully, but also for the bullied to fight back. Primitive? Well, yes, actually, it is. But do you really think that human beings have truly evolved in the past few 1000 years? But currently, the bullys can bully, but those bullied cannot fight back. So they resort to other tactics.
Israel has invaded Syria, Lebanon, Palestine, Egypt. They still occupy lands owned by Syria. They still occupy lands that were promised to the Palestinians for a state dating from the 1940s when the state was created. Israel prevents water to people in Palestine. They have throttled the economy there, they have prevented Palestinians from creating any semblance of life. The body count is less than 1000 in the past 2 years of intifada for Israelis and almsot 3000 for Palestinians. Many of them innocent woman and children. While they have not bombed nightclubs and eateries, they are bombing, running down and destroying homes in refugee camps. Their offenses are as bad or worse than Iraq's.
If the palestinians had killed that American earlier this week, we'd be hearing of how we need to pursue condemnation of those peoples. But since it was the Israeli army that killed the American girl in bright clothing, hardly any mention is made in the news.
What are you talking about? Easier to blame those 'Yankee devils' for their problems?
Don't think we are innocent in any of this. Don't think that the oil link between Iraq and our current president isn't a valid one. Don't think for a second that Iraq is less of a threat to the region they are in than Israel.
Of course the US does what is in its best interests. The people of the Middle East hate the US almost exclusively for one reason: we support Israel and whatever the hell they want to do.
Israel has broken over 60 UN resolutions. Iraq? Less than 8, that I count. Yet the world must stop Iraq because they aren't following the UN's resolutions. Riiiiiight. I cannot believe those in the US believe all the BS fed to them by the President and his cronies.
Anyone here have that link to the finding that the report that Iraq had a nuclear program was actually based on a college student's paper, and not on intelligence reports?
You are kidding, right? Republic? Which part? The capital? And, what else?
This country was dropped like a hot potato when Iraq became an issue, and funding is looooow. BBC reports that they are turning back to Poppy seed exports (read: opium) since there is no aid coming in. Also, the Taleban and Al Queda still hold the vast majority of the country. Republic indeed. I'd hate to ask you what Anarchy looks like.
If I had mod points, you'd get them all. Well said.
If companies like HP would simply hire management offshores, or even a low cost, intelligent CEO from another country, they could save millions a year.
But somehow, that isn't happening, is it?
I am for tariffs on good from other countries. Impose them left and right. As I recall, prior to income taxes being imposed (which was supposed to be a temporary thing, btw) we mainly relied on tarrifs. This brought the 'best and brightest' here, instead of now where we ship the best and brightest jobs to them.
I do not see how creating a 'world economy' helps anyone but the rich. It deflates wages. Maybe I am missing the picture here. Maybe there is a grand schema that will allow balance across the globe. If that is the case, then this isn't capitolism, it is socialism, right? Get everyone on an equal ground? But I can't and don't see that. I only see that somehow jobs are harder to find, and those I do find pay a lot less. I am not speaking of.Com era wages, but prior to that- the early to mid 90s era.
I have MAME with 2 games on it- cyberball tournament 2072 and Pigskin 946.
One I enjoy for the strategy and timing, the other is just funny as hell to run around, picking up weapons and killing the other team's players. Boring? Never. I can play cyberball for hours. While I win most of the time, it still pulls the upset here and there (damn blitzing linebackers!). While I have games up to WarCraft III, I still pull up MAME and Cyberball almost daily to get that rush of running a kickoff back, or catching a receiver with a critical ball- boom!
I always thought they could make a newer version of the game- the premise is great. Add more coaches, teams, and even network gameplay, this game would be IT for me.
Exactly. 40% I get maybe 5 emails a day to my home inbox from family or friends, and the other 35 or so are spam. Who is getting all these non-spam emails?
I guess they are excluding the 'penis enhancement' and 'breast enhancement' ads. Those make up most of my 'bulk mail' folder.
More and more, the scientific community is learning that genetic attitude traits inherited have more to do with the temperment of a person than any other factor.
Once it was thought that a person's character was a result of the way they were raised. This isn't the case, and I am glad science is finally starting to find data on this and publish it.
We are being led to believe that Microsoft is collecting data from its updater, and the news group that broke the story is the Inquirer?
Have I lost my mind here? Why are we looking to them. The Sun, maybe, but the Inquirer? Hell, I'd even read the Daily Star- they have stories on Nostradamus predicting Linus and even Saddam.
Ok, first I would inform myself that I should stick with programming on the apple IIe at school, as this is will help me stick to computers, and not have that 10 year hyatis I took.
Second, I'd tell myself to get back to my grandparents' house. Live with them. That way I'd be the only child at home, and I'd have the computer in my room.
Oh, and to never EVER say 'no' to a girl. Stupid stupid stupid me....
And, damn it, pick people other than Old, Rich, White Lifetime politicians.
I have been thinking of Cincinattus of late, how he was called upon by the people of Rome to leave his farm, become the dictator and lead the Romans to war against the Truscans (I think). He does so, leads his people, defeats his enemies, and then returns to his farm after the war has ended.
I want a leader like that! Well, multiple leaders. I agree here, select people who at least have some education. President Cletus may get us into a war with Alabama simply because his sister's name has been desicrated on a water tower.
At the same time, get the hell rid of those people who are lifetime people in government. Those that serve who ever is in power, and help with the status quo.
In fact, if they wanted to open source the process on how to achieve that status, I am all for it. Come on Bill, what do ya say? I know an OS you can 'purchase' from a non competitor and use to become a popular desktop with a catch GUI that runs on pretty much any hardware out there with a little porting of the kernal.....oh wait, you say Steve Jobs did that? Oh, sorry....but can you, um....lend me some, so I can make the BillGatesOS of the future -Caution:only runs on non Windows approved hardware. Heh, just avoided competing with ya!
The guide might have something to it......I met my gf online. She took me to LOTR for christmas (well, the day it opened) and we are going to DareDevil tonight for valentine's day.
She is only a little bit into computers, but she can trek with the rest of the trekkies. Knows her star wars, and loves to game on Tomb Raider (Lara Croft is her hero). Ahh....
Ok, my imagination is flared, and I am gonna find this game and an emulator. Where can I get more info on these exploits?
I loved SMB3. I lived with my best friend's family in high school and my senior year, me and his 13 year old brother ditched school and spent all day playing SMB3. We almost beat it when everyone started coming home. Never had time to find the secrets, though, as the TV was the only one in the house. SMB3 may well be one of the best games ever. But Cyberball Tournament 2072 took the most of my quarters and time in the arcades........and mame runs almost daily at home, now.:-)
Not only this, but what of those of us, who were laid off of high paying positions, and then took low paying jobs to survive?
I divorced a money spending person, and was given all the bills in the divorce (bad, long story I can only repeat over 10 beers or so). I was in debt bad, and handled it well until I lost my job (laid off). I did anything for work for 8 months until I landed another IT job. It paid less than 1/2 of my former pay, but is stable. My credit- horrible.
How does that reflect my character? I guess I was the asshole for divorcing, huh? (Men are seen as The Reason a marriage ended).
I agree, this should not be allowed to happen. It doesn't show your character, it shows your credit rating/history.
I think of Health Insurance. I worked for one (during my do anything for a buck days) and saw people given higher rates for having ingrown toe nails, among other things. I realized that no one could have perfect health and/or perfect credit. Why do we penalize people for being...people? Everyone gets sick, everyone has dormant diseases in them, everyone is gonna mess up on their money making decisions. Now we decide based on being human that we cannot work at certain jobs anymore?
I almost wish for the pre-computer days now. More trust then. And yes, I understand WHY, but damn it- people could miss out on a great employee because of these stupid 'checks'.
I remember years ago, I sat down and decided to come up with what I thought was the Best OS design. I am no developer, so I didn't understand all the details. I was simply looking for a workstation - server design that would work.
My design on the server was simple. A unix server with a very thin UI. The UI was basically to allow for config tools to be brought up- only worked via being on the console, and had an http interface for remote administration - besides the CLI tools. A system geared to 'serve' with few resources on the front end.
The workstation was more complex. It had a GUI embedded in the kernel, so the workstation would not boot up without the interface. The system had a bash prompt for CLI commands, and the interface was very intuitive. What my goal of it all, was to have the same base OS (kernel) and the ability to remotely admin all systems, but the workstation would be fronted to have an easy to use interface for end users.
I even had pics of the interface drawn up. I showed them to a developer friend of mine, and he liked the idea. Damn it if I can't locate them now, as I can't remember the details on the workstations. But I do remember cut and paste, OLE and other niceties on windows were apart of this 'OS'.
I still get excited when I think of BeOS. I start thinking of the partition I have for it, sitting empty, and going home, and firing up my 5.03 release and installing it, setting up the drivers, getting it online, tweaking cl-amp and the apps, and the window graphics, and the background, and pulling from bebits all night long.
Then I realize that I can't get a decent speedy browser, that I can't work on my resume, that I can't play the games I want, that I can't do my bills online either from lack of Java to lack of a quicken type app. My partition will rott away, I fear. BeOS is the biggest heartache for me as a computer user and professional. So much potential, so little of anything else.
I was a trekkie when younger - also a star wars fan. I am much less the 2 now, even though sci fi and sci fantasy still capture my interest.
Why? Well, it isn't the characters, but most definately is the plot. Star Trek lacks history. It had it with TOS and TNG. Technology had advanced, and we could see that. Story lines were still based on the premise that people and aliens have feelings and personal demons to battle. With the advent of DS9 and Voyager, Star Trek left the historical line and issues between peoples and personal demons for outrageous story lines that included the borg chasing but never defeating a small ship in the middle of no where- neglecting the history of the borg as almost undefeatable. And a space station of mixed people. So much potential in that series, but it lost because they could not create enough internal issue stories.
Star Wars had a huge following not only because of its ground breaking fx, but also because it had history. 1000 years of jedi rule. Empire that was how old? Jedi master was how old? Clone wars? Obi Wan knew Vader before The Fall? History was loud in the ears of Star Wars fans. I cared less for the post ROTJ books. I wanted more history. It was finally granted- and I was sickened.
I think another area is culture. Star Trek was a 'perfect culture' that worked well in TNG, and was still rough and being learned in TOS. But there was culture. It was neglected in the newer series. Again, DS9 had the opportunity, but the ball was dropped in favor of a huge war that left me thinking 'eh'. I loved the culture of star wars- so many peoples, and yet corruption, love, hate, revenge, politics, all together loosely in a republic and empire. It works for me.
I think that the rules were perverted so severely in Star Trek that it wasn't funny. Suddenly in one episode the tachyon field can be adjusted to deflet energy fields, while in the next they can't stop weapons from smashing the shields to '12%' and 'surrender'. Star Wars allowed for everyone to be able to die- and the heroes are either gifted or lucky- not suddenly supremely good at manipulating technologies and even nature. Time travel and cloaking devices should go. Why does it work here, but not there. Suddenly we can track a cloaked ship, but next time we are completly caught off guard. I understand the element of surprise, but people, come on.
Rick, Star Trek is dying because you neglected what made it great. Sure, some story lines were campy, but until the end of TNG, it worked. Culture, history were enough to keep the story fresh. But you trashed those along with technology and left it utterly unwatchable.
My daughter had night terrors. I can't tell you how glad I am she grew out of them.
She'd wake up, around 10- 10:30 and just scream. Scream! I'd run into the room, and she'd look right at me, screaming at the top of her lungs. I'd ask her what was wrong, and she would just scream. After a few times of doing this, I began to take her in my arms, walk her into the kitchen, and sit on the floor, hold her, while she screamed in my face, and offer her a glass of water. After 10 - 15 minutes of screaming, she'd start crying, and sob in my shoulders, still with her eyes wide open. I would calmly offer her a glass of water until she said 'yes'. As soon as she did, I knew she had woken up, and then I'd hold her, take her back to bed.
That 1 year was awful. I still see her face in my mind- eyes wide open in absolute fear. If you remember these- I feel for you. I know as a parent I'll never forget.
the KMail software can handle encrypted e-mail attachments, and the KOrganizer calendar software can communicate with Exchange 2000 servers.
This is huge. At least for corporations that use Exchange (and not Lotus or something similiar). I've been waiting anxiously for these products to appear. I always thought the exchange-outlook component was the hardest one to break for the linux/alternative workstation OS. I don't use KDE, so let me ask: are Korganizer and Kmail integrated so they can work together- within a same interface? Like that of Outlook? Also...doesn't Evolution have these capabilities. I remember once reading that it would. I do use Evolution, but our company does not use Outlook, so I cannot test this.
First shalt thou take out the Holy Mouse. Then, shalt thou count to three buttons, no more, no less. Three buttons shalt be the numbe thou shalt count, and the number of the buttons shalt be three. Four shalt thou not count, neither count thou two, exepting that thou then proceed to three buttons. Five is right out! Once the number three, being the third mouse button be reached, then usest thou thy Holy Mouse of Logitech to open scores of Windows, who, being shitty in my sight, shall snuff it.

Anyways. Yes, Hulk. Good Plot. You like. Or Hulk Mash You.
