No doubt bad things happened in Hawaii due to westerners. Almost 100 years before they became a state. Did they get invaded in 1959 and forced at gunpoint to become a state? No, which was what it seemed the parent was getting at.

Keep watching. One thing Bush is not, and that I've never heard even a foaming neo-con claim he was, is a fiscal conservative. As Bush flames our foreign relations even further to hell over the next few years, the rest of the world will come to rely less and less on us as a consumer nation (turning instead to the new consumer markets forming in the EU, China and India) and will give less and less of a fuck what happens to us as our economy crumbles. And it's already happening; since 1995 Japanese exports going to China have increased to 15% from around 3%, increasing 28% last year alone. A simple Google on "Japanese exports to China" will get you going. Japan buying American debt so that Americans can buy their exports is one of the cornerstones of our economy. I'm actually glad Bush got re-elected if for no other reason than that he will have to lie in the bed that he has made, and that when his policies are still fucking us over twenty years from now I can look back and say, "It wasn't my fault, I didn't vote for him." and of course, "I told you so."
Not to mention the fact that there is no guarantee they will keep their authorization server online indefinitely. What happens when you want to dig it out and play it again in a few years? This kind of crap is what kills otherwise good ideas.
Not sure what it is with the Stephenson worshipping that goes on here. I suspect he rides a wave of young people just discovering a genre. I recently was given a copy of Snowcrash and have to say I didn't think it was that great. It read like a comic..err, graphic novel, but without the graphics.
I don't often go in for such cheerleading, but the parent post seriously needs to be modded up. A lot of people will be taking what junkscience.com at face value otherwise.
Someone mentioning 'this administration' generically is engaging rabid anti-Bushism? All of America's economic problems are due to the Dot-Com bubble? And you're warning people not to spout off without a degree? My hat is off to your troll-worthiness and asshat-edness, but that's all the respect of mine that you will get.
I have to agree with you about Suse. My first kernel was ~.97pl? and in all that time, Suse 9.1 is definitely the best 'out of the box' experience I've had. Just switched from Fedora due to the FC2 install CD not even wanting to boot the kernel and FC3 being a tad flakey still. As long-time Debian fan, Fedora was a nice change in the 'easy-to-use' direction, and Suse is even yet another step along.
Up here in space I'm looking down on you My lasers trace Everything you do
You think you've private lives Think nothing of the kind There is no true escape I'm watching all the time
I'm made of metal My circuits gleam I am perpetual I keep the country clean
I'm elected electric spy I'm protected electric eye
Always in focus You can't feel my stare I zoom into you You don't know I'm there
I take a pride in probing all your secret moves My tearless retina takes pictures that can prove
I'm made of metal My circuits gleam I am perpetual I keep the country clean
I'm elected electric spy I'm protected electric eye
Electric eye, in the sky Feel my stare, always there There's nothing you can do about it Develop and expose I feed upon your every thought And so my power grows

But here's the most relevant section to your claim of 5.4%:
"The current Bush administration has expanded upon the Clinton era initiatives, particularly in setting the stage for the adoption of a new and lower-inflation CPI and in further redefining the GDP and the concept of seasonal adjustment.
As a result of the systemic manipulations, if the GDP methodology of 1980 were applied to today's data, the second quarter's annualized inflation-adjusted GDP growth of 3.0% would be roughly three percent lower (effectively netting to zero percent or below). In like manner, current annual CPI inflation is understated by about 2.7% against the pre-Clinton CPI methodology (would be about 5.7%), and the unemployment rate is understated by about seven percent against its original design and what many people would consider to be actual unemployment (would be about 12.5%)."

Tell me the name of one casualty in any battle that occurred in 1959 in the Hawaiian islands to force them to become a state.
Hawaii became a state in 1959. We didn't suddenly go in there and take it over by military force that year as the parent alluded to.
Talk about pretending. Last I checked Hawaii wasn't invaded and ball-stomped by the USA to become a state.
And so do many others who:

2 - Aren't driven to use the newest thing just "because"
3 - Use MozMail as their main client and don't feel like switching
4 - Don't want to keep separate apps updated/tinkered with
Slow how exactly? They both use the same rendering engine after all. Startup? Why are you constantly closing and restarting it to begin with?

It's pretty astonishing how you equate abolishing the Fed with legalizing heroin and blowing up buildings.

Needs fixed? NEEDS FIXED? What fucking moron initiated this abomination of a grammatical construct and why are people propagating it? FUCK.
Choose one:
A) needs to be fixed
B) needs fixing
Hmm...32 teeth...Beowulf cluster...I'm dreaming already!
All the mirror sites I went to show this:

# KDE 3.3.1 packages for SUSE distributions.

Sorry, we were to lazy to build packages yet.
They will be here tomorrow, hopfully.
Not sure why, but I am picturing the uber-mouse-evil-scientist from that Farscape episode explaining that this is a good idea...

Hello frog, how's the water in that pot?
And they're all useless without an incredibly stupid user, just like Symantic AV for Linux.
Cthulhu should be big there.
Uhuh, like those real crackpots who think gold is still worth having a little of.

There is no true escape
I'm watching all the time
