    Dad: Come in, my little loves. I've got no option but to sell you all for scientific experiments.

    Dad: Blame the Catholic church for not letting me wear one of those little rubber things. Oh, they've done some wonderful things in their time. They preserved the might and majesty, the mystery of the Church of Rome, and the sanctity of the sacraments, the indivisible oneness of the Trinity, but if they'd let me wear one of those little rubber things on the end of my cock, we wouldn't be in the mess we are now.

  11. Re:Off topic article? on Senate Fails To Reauthorize Patriot Act Provisions · · Score: 1

    Preach on, brother. Ultraliberals abound on this site, and they tolerate everything... that they agree with.

    Please point out the ultra-liberals. Seriously. There are quite a few liberals here, but very few ultra-liberals. Ultra-conservatives keep trying to push the definition of the middle to the right. Soon, anyone who believes in a balanced budget will be a pinko-commie and anyone who thinks small business should have as many rights as megacorps is a marxist.

    The Patriot act isn't a Left/Right thing. It's a statist/libertarian thing. The problem is, conservatives haven't moved more to the right, they've moved more towards the statist ideals. This has left the democratic party as the party that places more value on the individual's rights than the state's rights. If they had moved more to the right, we'd have a balanced budget and government spending would have went down, not up.

  12. Re:Format the disk on Online Scammers Go Spear-Phishing · · Score: 1

    This applies to just more than simple users. If it was tricky enough, it could catch quite a few admins too.

    FTA: the Trojan horses that penetrated their computers came packaged inside a compact disc or an e-mail message that appeared to be from an institution or a person that the victims thought they knew very well.

    Let's say that you have a computer at your company that has a certain program on it, and a scammer knows that. With some research, and some effort, they could send you an "update" CD in the mail that contained a trojan and also looked completely legit. And,

    For example, I've seen some smaller POS (point of sale -- used for taking credit cards) programs that send updates on CD via snail mail. Considering that many CC programs use the internet or a modem to talk to the bank, it wouldnt be that far fetched that someone would do it either, and it could easily phone home. Most likely, if someone formatted the system for some reason, they would probably install the "update" as well.

    same here. Then I grew up. There a lot of different factions in each political party. In the republican camp, there's the big military faction. Yep, that's big government. There's the social conservative. Yep, that's big government. There's the corporate welfare faction. Yep, big government once again.

    Face it. If they're IN government, they're for government. The problem is there are still a lot of people who believe the lie.

  19. novell mounts on Novell Networks and Linux? · · Score: 1

    As someone mentioned, there's a program that allows you to mount a novell volume. I think the one that's been mentioned (ncpfs) is the same one I've used. You dont need to use IPX, it'll work just fine with tcp/ip. I've used it on various linux boxes, dating back to rh 7 or so, and it's worked very well.

  22. Re:Nice flaming headline. on Bush Supreme Court Nominee Former Microsoft Lawyer · · Score: 1

    Big spender,
    Pretty much all politicians are big spenders, they just differ on what to spend it on. Conservatives tend to want to spend more on the military, no matter how much is spent already.

    lax immigration
    This seems to benifit the employers. Definately up the republican alley. Personally, I'd rather it was easy for workers to come to the US to work legally, but punish the employers heavily when they hire illegals. Make it so fewer people are "criminals".

    "diversity"
    good for him.

    federalized health care
    I guess I'm not seeing how he's doing this, but if federalized, universal healthcare was done right you'd be knocking about $8500/year off the cost of employing someone. Thats good for small business creation, improves profits, and reduces the benifits of offshoring. Plus, you'd see more use of preventative care instead of the uninsured waiting until they had to go the emergancy room, resulting in less spending overall. The key is doing it right, thats the hard part.

    education, and now emergency management
    this is why I'm not sure about universal govt provided healthcare. The govt screws up a lot and creates lots of extra work.

    if he wasn't Christian, the liberals would not have a problem with the guy.
    Most liberals don't have a problem with Christians. They have a problem with the religious right and Bush seems to pander to them at times. IMO, there's a big difference between a chrisian and a member of the religious right.

  23. Re:Religion? on The Science Of Happiness · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Take a look at christianity without the blinders of organized religion on. Many of the teachings apply to happiness here on earth. Throw away the BS that others have added -- the rituals, the idea that people should suffer, that only bad people are poor, that only bad people are rich, that we should hate certain people, that the world is 6,000 years old, etc.

    What you're left with is basically: forgive people, be kind others, don't dwell on the negative, and enjoy the good things you have. Every one of those increases happiness for both the individual and others around them. Christianity isn't as bad as christians make it.

  24. lots of novell love on Searching for a Directory Service Solution? · · Score: 1

    There's a lot of Novell lovin going on here. As someone who's main file server is Novell, I can certainly understand that.

    What I can't understand is how many of them are marked trolls. Looking at the mod points, it looks like it's not just one rogue modder, it's serveral (or one person with several accounts). Are the MS fanboys so insecure that that can't even deal with someone mentioning Novell? Or do people actually get off by trolling via mod points?

    I own both of the APC cds listed and have ripped them both without any alteration or problems.

    My 20 month old son LOVES to play with CDs -- especially putting them in the CD player, taking them out, over and over again. My best option is to rip the CD when I buy it and put it away where he can't get it. I can guarentee you, if 13th step didn't rip, I wouldn't have bought emotive.
