Does anyone know of a right wing science fiction writer? (Ron Hubbard notwithstanding)
I've noticed that sci-fi writers cover the political spectrum from liberal to conservative/libertarian, but I would be hard-pressed to identify any as 'right wing'. The far right wing of the conservative movement seems to be dominated by a religious and moral authoritarian movement that seems very opposed to the sort of social explorations that many science fiction writers engage in. Ironic really, considering Bush has allied himself with space aliens.;)
It's just a logical reason to do a conventional (mostly) attack on two such targets, afganistan was probably expected, Iraq proves we'll do it again. Think Psychological warfare and subtle message and what position this puts the us in. Not that this is the safest tactic, and only having the millitary might we do have makes it even possible. In a few years (10-30?) China may be in a position to contend though.
The position this puts us in is that of America being reviled around the world by our former allies as much as are long time enemies. Have you traveled abroad lately? Talked to any foreign people? At least read the international news reports and oppinion polls? I have done all three. Anti-American sentiment is at an all time high. American businessmen are pretending to be Canadian to avoid the backlash. Many people are beginning to boycott American products. Our relationship with NATO allies is strained, creating impediments in the war on terror. We had a surplus of support and solidarity post 9/11, and Bush chose to squander that political coin and instead engage in a reckless go-it-alone policy of unfocused aggression reminiscent of a drunk with broken beer bottle.
Sure it is great that Sadam has been ousted... but at what price? What exactly has America gained gained in this. Operations in Afghanistan has been trimmed down to tiny 15000 troop fraction of what is really needed to stabilize the country. The government stays huddled in Kabul because warlords and bandits run the coutry side. A friend of mine in the Read Cross says Doctors Without Borders recently pulled out because the situtation has become far too unstable. The Taliban and Al Qada continue to operate in the country, and Osama Bin Laden has still not been caught. We know he is somewhere in the Afghanistan/Pakistan border region... which by-the -way is not in Iraq.
Oh, and about Iraq. Still no weapons of mass destruction found there. We've spent over 200 billion dollars and 1000 lives. Haliburton (Dick Cheney's old company) has made 13 billion on goverment contracts there, but the defense department will likely yank those contracts because of massive fraud and corruption. This should hardly be a surprise, as Haliburton has been cited for fraud during the period when Cheney was running the compnay.
And speaking of Cheney, isn't anyone concerned that he had secret meetings with Enron while crafting our nations energy policy? Is it at all alarming that he continues to defy court orders for him to turn over records regarding those meetings?
And the really sad thing is, I expected so much more from Bush. He gave a wonderful speech from the rubble of the twin towers. His father had done a great job with Desert Storm. Bush senior built a true coalition and actually got them to pay for 95 percent of the effort. In contrast, we are carrying more that 90 percent of the load in Iraq and most of the world is against us. That is largely because the rest of the world sees what many in America seem unwilling to: Osama Bin Ladan and the fight against al Quada is still in Afghanistan, but we moved on to Iraq without finishing the job.
I usually vote 3rd party as well but not this year. Only one candidate.the President, will take it to the Terrorists. The stakes are to high to vote on any other "issue".
Fighting terrorism with fullscale war is like trying to perform surgery using a sledge hammer. Yes, you can remove some unhealthy tissue that way, but you end up doing so much damage that the patient usually dies on the table.
The way you fight terrorists is by infiltrating them, undermining them, making small surprise raids in the middle of night. You work to turn the local populations against them, turn one group against another. Full-on war and occupation comes with inevitable civilian collateral damage, which creates an ideal recruiting ground for the terrorists. Russia has seen exactly this happen in Chechnya. They have been so aggressive within Chechyna that it has turned much of the local population against them, and driven the terrorists to even more radical behavior. We are also seeing that happen in Iraq. It is no accident that anti-american sentiment is at an all time high around the world, and last year was a record year for terrorism activity.
Bush needs to start using the scalpels of diplomacy and intelligence work and put away the hammer of war. Perhaps if he did that, we would actually catch Osama.
He's right, you know. It says so right in the 1st Amendment: "Congress shall make no law... abridging the freedom of speech... [or] to petition the Government for a redress of grievances (unless one does not vote, in which case one has no right to complain)."
Actually, I did say 'participate in the democratic process' not just 'vote'... and I would include 'petition the Government for a redress of grievances' as participation. I do get your point though. My comment was ment to be satirical even if somewhat contradictory and lame. I do support your right to learn everything about the issues and candidates and decide that none of them are worth voting for even as they complain heavily about the status quo. I only ask that people do the former before engaging in the latter. BTW, watching 30 second commerical spots does not count as 'learning about the issues'.
As is often the case, the Simpson's actually managed to slip some insiteful social commentary into their humor. Personally, I feel humor plays an important role in the public debate, whether it be political cartoons, the Daily Show, or whatever...
Support Nebraska's right to susceed from the union, vote Nebraska Seperatist Party... and don't give me that mumbo-jumbo about Nebraska being land locked.:)
The best reason to vote third party is to influence the policies of the two major parties. If the dems or reps see enough voters get behind a major third party issue, they will adjust their platforms to try and capture those votes.
Of course it is up to us to be an informed electorate and hold our leaders' feet to the fire when they fall down on their campaign promises. I am actually going to vote democrat for the first time in many years for exactly that reason... Bush's record is really rather horrible when bother to look past the spin and really check the facts.
I usually vote third party as a way of registering my dissapointment with the two main parties, but not this year. The Bush administration has run far enough to the right that there really is a difference between the two parties again. I recommend everyone do some web searching, learn the issues and the track records of the candidates, and then VOTE!
On my political humor web site, AliensForBush.com, I've included some google.com search terms that might be useful to get you started.
Remeber, you don't have a right to complain if you don't participate in the democratic process.:P
While I agree that the patent-and-sue business model is a bad thing, you must also agree that the Record Insustry business model of marketing and shiping pieces of plastic is someone archaic when faced with the new reality of the Internet. The rise of file-sharing is at least in part a response to the labels trying to ignore or fight the Internet instead of embracing it. There are plenty of people willing to pay for music downloads if the labels would really open up their archives and charge a reasonable price (25 cents per track maybe?).
The great thing about the on-demand Internet model of distribution is that low volume niche bands and older archived stuff is as easily and cheaply distributed as the big names. A physical CD needs to sell a sufficient volume to make the production costs worth it. Digital music does not suffer from the same ecomomies of scale.
I'm not certain PGP is up to the task, but certainly some sort of public/private key signing tech needs to be used. The most important thing is that it be based on open non-patent encumered algorithms... otherwise it will never be accepted broadly enough.
What really needs to happen is for an open counter proposal to come out, and that needs to be folded into the public code base for sendmail as managed by sendmail.org. Unfortunately sendmail.org is sponsered by Sendmail, Inc. (sendmail.com), a commercial company that has announced support for Microsofts version of Sender ID. This could be a source of conflict perhaps?
This site does appear to be a bit to the left, though. So take what they chose with a grain of salt, or a few tablespoons.
I find it interesting the topics that people describe as 'left leaning'. Speak up about civil liberties, personal freedon, or the environment and you are labeled as some sort of leftist tree-huggin liberal hippy communist. Huh? One would think that conservatives would be all for those things as well?
Of course the biggest censored story is the fact that President Bush is being supported by space aliens.:)
I find it interesting that most of the censored stories have strong political relevance for the current presidential administration. I am not about to put my tinfoil hat on, but the Bush whitehouse has come under criticism for being the most secretive administration in living memory (including the Nixon administration), the press has complained that access has been restricted for those who refuse to 'play nice'.
Of course all this criticism of Bush is shortsighted, as the Aliens for Bush web site makes clear.:)
Speaking of Metallica and downloadable music, I have to recommend you check out the spoof band Beatallica. It is insanely funny. Beatallica is a part time parody project by two good friends of mine. It answers the questions: What would it sound like if Metallica did Beatles covers. You can download their MP3s at www.beatallica.org
The smartest advice I've seen offered so far is 'read up on your local zoning laws'. It really does vary considerably by local municipality. Nevertheless, in most communities, if you are a sole proprietorship with no other employees, and you are not engaging in industrial manufacturing or walk-in retail sales, you should not have to rezone. In some cases you might need to get a special use permit, but even that is rare if you are just making phone calls and sending emails.
Now you if want to live in your commercial building, that is an entirely different story! I am an incorporated independent contractor. Through my corporation, I recently purchased a commercially zoned (C2) building (a retired funeral home). Though it has an apartment on the second floor (it used to be a family run business), I was surprised to learn that I could not live in my own building until I went through a lengthy process with the city planning commission and common council to eventually get a dual use permit. And don't even get me started about the whole occupancy permit and building inspection process! (shudder) At least we are finally moved in, have a tenant renting the first floor to help pay the business loan, and we still have 5300 square feet of living space including a basement complete with a rec-room, freight elevator, and our very own embalming room! >:)
If you are planning on picking up a boxed linux distribution anyway, you can do a lot worse than picking up a big, gereral purpose linux reference that includes the CDs. Chris Negus does a great job with every incarnation of this book... as good as can be expected with such a broad subject matter. It is not a book to sit down and read from cover to cover and expect to learn Linux, but it does make a wonderful reference.
DISCLAIMER: I might be a little biased; I was a contributing author for the initial version of the Redhat Linux Bible.
I recently bought a cheap-o locally built
700Mhz Celeron system to turn into a Linux server.
It would run for several days and then shut
itself off. After a bit of digging, I learned
that the motherboard had a feature to actually
shut down the entire system if it became too hot.
I moved the box to a better ventilated area and
it has been rock solid since. Really had me
scratching my head for a while though.:)
I was under the impression that this engine'd been dead for a great while. Great way advocate SDL's superiority, there.
The reports of GridSLammer's death have been
greatly exaggerated.:) Though I am not too
suprised you got that impression, considering
the lack of development from November to
February (my work schedule was a bit crazy
during that time period). I am happy to say,
however, that we
recently released a 0.7a version, and 0.8a is
not far away. I expect to hit 1.0 in August.
GridSlammer currently has three primary
developers, but we can certainly use more help.
My GridSlammer game engine uses SDL, and it has
worked wonderfully for me.
The API is well thought
out, the feature set is good and quickly
expanding, and it seems to make good use
of underlying graphics hardware and drivers
(framebuffer, XFree86 4.0,...). The OpenAL
sound stuff rocks. I could go on, but why not
check it out yourself. I've seen a bunch of
projects using it, and if mailing list volume
is any indication, it has taken the reigns away
from GGI as the cross platform graphics library
with the most momentum behind it.
I received a nastygram from a lawyer representing
Trek Bicycle Corp. It seems they feel they own
all rights to the word 'trek', even when used in
a trademark that has nothing to do with bicycles.
I sent them a letter expressing my opinion that
my software related SkillTrek trademark in no way
conflicts with their Trek trademark. It has been
a few months and I have not heard back from them,
so I assume the original letter was just a scare
tactic.
Hmmmm, I wounder if they sent a similar letter to
the holders of the StarTrek trademark.:)
I've just learned some great inside information from the genome project... it turns out a chunk
of our DNA is actually just a biologically
encoded MP3. When digitized and played it contains the voice of God. He states quite
unequivocally that he did NOT create the universe,
He simply borrowed it from his friend Sid. Life and humanity evolved quite accidentally,
and He has been very reluctant to return the universe to Sid with such an ugly contaminant in it. Expect the
end of the world soon. >:)
Isn't it the responsibility of the trademark holder to search out confusing names like this during the process of getting a trademark?
Yes, and fortunately you can search the pto's
database for free on the web. Then after
submitting your trademark request, it will be
reviewed by someone at the pto, and they might
respond with their own assesment of possible
conflicts and a request for clarification of
the trademark's area applicability. I just received
such a request regarding my skilltrek trademark.
The reviewer also included some useful suggestions
on how to narrow the scope of the trademark's
description and thus aviod potential challanges
or confusion with other similar trademarks.
In regards to how you get a trademark for a
non-commericial
open source project, I suggest this: Sell CDs
with the software and documentation, and use
the revenues to cover the ~$350 trademark filing
fee and operational costs of the website.
I wonder... distributed servers, anyone? That would be a cool, and probably gawdawfully
complex project. Sort of like Napster, only with real-time updates.
Actually, I am already working on it. The model
I have is multiple 'worldlets' running on different servers. You can travel between
worlds (servers) by going through a portal. Think
of it like web pages/servers... but the links
go both directions.
The size of the world you can run is of course
determined by the power of your server and the
bandwidth of your
Internet connection. Size in this context
really means the number of simultaneous players
that can visit your realm.
This sounds like the same approach I might try
with my GridSlammer game engine. It is mainly a
hobby at the moment, but at some point I hope to
run a well connected / co-located game server and
charge subscription fees to cover the hosting
cost. The code will still be open source, and
there is nothing stoping others from hosting
their own servers... but it can be very expensive
to host a well connected server, so perhaps people
will be willing to pay to access a server that is
not bogged down all the time. Making unique
'content' is definetely vital as well.
The really challenging part will be addressing the
cheating problem. It is almost mandatory that
the server hold all the authoritative data / sim
and the client is as 'dumb' as possible. It
will also take some social engineering (some
method of banning cheaters). I realize many of
you think a (nearly) cheat proof open source game
is impossible, but I still think it will be fun
to attempt it anyway. Heck, it seems like everyone else is jumping on the 'massively
multiplayer persistant universe role playing
game' bandwagon... so I might as well also.:)
P.S. Check out GridSlammer at:
www.gridslammer.org
I'll be releasing a new 0.6 version in a few days.
It will include Linux and Win32 targets, and a
bunch of improvements to the API.
I have not yet sent my own letter (I will in a
few minutes), so please do not blame me if
any of these bounce. Be polite, but do not
pull your punches. Enjoy.
