This is a good question, however it could be worked a little more.
Unfortunately people have the idea that animal rights means you are a crazy, because people don't understand animals can feel (mental or physical) pain.
Protecting animals can go a long way in helping people. For example, if the government would actually start regulating the meat industry better, millions of workers would have a better way of life. The meat industry is the most dangerous industry in america to work in, and it's all because of giant factory farms. This doesn't even begin to cover the environmental effects that this industry has.
A better way to phrase the question would be to make it about farming and health. Phrasing it in a positive light goes a long way too. For example:
How would you work to protect small farmers from being disenfranchised from the large corporate and factory farms? Would you consider greater tax breaks for farmers that grow healthier and more environmentally safe food?
Sadly people just don't get animal rights. When they are faced with the question in black and white terms they end up making excuses for their behaviors. Or they get angry and dismiss it all as crazy PETA nut-jobs (very unfortunate, because PETA is nothing more than a marketing tool, meant to piss people off to gather attention, defeats the entire purpose if you ask me).
However, if you give money through SourceForge the money is going back into them instead of a third party. This way they can continue to host these open source projects.
The music produced by Ka-Blamo can be copyrighted by the owner of the material used to produce the music. Not nearly enough of the original art is being changed. For you to turn an mp3 into a wav file.
What's more interesting in this type of music is the way in which it is translated from it's original source into music. That is also something that could be copyrighted.
I know of some people that use iMovie for professional videos that sell tons of copies.... Simply because it's so fast and easy to use it clears up their time to do other things.
Not much has been said about these games in a long time. A google search yields nothing great either... Anyone have any info?
I'm not sure how the gaming industry works, so maybe this is common... my fear is, however, they were canned.

Salon.com is very cheap to subscribe to. $20 for a year, that's really good. The quality and quanity of output from the magazine is far greater than any monthly magazine you'd be paying $12-30 a year for.
The big problem with cutting trying to save money, is that they got a 10 year lease on a place in SF. They are locked into it, so they can't very easily go "well, we need to cut costs a bit, so we are moving into my basement." It's very unfortunate.
A lot goes on in peoples lives, whether it's horrible events (such as 9/11 or recently the space shuttle blowing up), or personal events (we've all had these). Do you ever find yourself having trouble being funny, and what do you do to cure this problem?
These will kill you just as well as normal ciggeretttes, but they just don't have any nicotine, which is the addictive part. There are three steps you can use, to actually kick your chemical addiction. Once that is done you can concentrate on your oral fixation problems.
I think a big place that this will help is people that like to go out to bars and are around second hand smoke and just want a cigg really bad. It'll kill you, but they won't wake up in the morning craving one as bad I bet.
I also like that the guy admits to the fact that he's in it for the money, a little honesty in the tobacco industry is a bit of a relief.
I would say I probably agree with Jobs moral and political views more than our current leader's (he's liberal, and he's a vegetarian (which speaks highly of morality issues)). But let's think about this for one little second... he has absolutely NO EXPERIANCE in politics. None. Don't throw your votes away on this, find a real canidate and support he/she when they run.
He would probably tell other countries that they would have to wait until the next Presidential Expo to get all of his foreign policy regulations, and not disclose to the public any information until said expos. Bah!
A rendezvous enabled wireless device that ties into my music collection (yes, iTunes). The reality of the situation is, if Apple doesn't release it, we won't see it for at least a year. Well, depending on how the HomePod is made, maybe it could incorporate rendezvous...
Anyone have any home brew devices in the works? Maybe now's the time to start:)
Classical music CDs are often very cheap. $5 if you go for bargins. Some of these are even double albums, and almost always filled. Don't forgot people that work in the music industry, who get several free cds in the mail daily.
I tried to get DP-2 working in Virtual PC but networking seemed to get stuck. Anyone have luck with getting FreeBSD to work in Virtual PC? Are there patches that need to be applied?
I'd like the ability to view iCals on the web like.Mac lets you do. I already have the webdav server set up a la iDisk (from months ago). However, I need a pretty display program. I really don't have the time to do it myself right now, so are there any perl/php modules that can do this and have it look pretty?
I believe (and I could be wrong) that the reason you don't see.mac people on these clients is because of the protocol they use (the old TOC one). Gaim uses oscar, and I believe you can see people just fine. It probably just hasn't trickled down through TOC, although AOL might choose just to ignore it.
As a vegetarian, I'm compelled to ask this: Have you seen a trend in recent years of more vegetarians, or more dishes made without meat? Time magazine had a recent cover story about this, and my feeling is it's becoming a more important part of everyones lives, yet whenever I catch a cooking show on TV it lacks making many vegetarian dishes.
I sort of compare it to Microsoft talking to a lot of my friends: there is a lot of misinformation out there, and you simply don't need to support a "big evil company" just like you don't need to eat the flesh of animals.
So when can I buy the fancy new phones? And will they have bluetooth? Or better yet, can I get the T68i for sprint 3G and stand out infront of the Washington Monument and ask people from Texas to take my picture?:)
I just got back from a trip half way around the world (and a 16 hour plane trip). I would actually suggest DVDs as opposed to games, I find them a bit more relaxing and you tend not to move as much (coach is cramped). The Simpsons Series 1 was great, watching short 20 minute episodes with commentaries really ate up the time.
If you REALLY want games to pass you by, I would suggest emulation. Mame, zsnes and all that are supported under OS X (what I use, not sure about you).
Other tips would be, turn your brightness all but one square down and make sure airport is turned off. This will save your battery. And after about 10 minutes you get used to the low brightness anyway. I would also suggest getting some noise cancelling headphones. They don't work perfectly (you still hear noise), but they dramatically improve your ability to hear (and therefore you can turn the volume down lower on the iBook).
Regardless, enjoy your trip. 7 hours isn't so bad, between snacks, trying to catch a nap, and maybe a little playing around on the computer you should be OK. It's not till 12 that I start to feel cabin fever "Can't we just stop the plane now?":)

you should email me a list of jobs or where i can find some :)
Is this in the 5? I did not see anything in 4.8. If so, that will shed some light on the next version of OS X... er Darwin.

>so what the colleges and Microsoft are doing may not actually be illegal (or could be argued not to be, anyway), but it certainly is shady.
What they might be doing is offering different universities packages at different prices.

Can you point me to an online reference on how to do this? I have t-mobile with unlimited nights and weekends.
Can I use my t68i to dial up my already existing ISP? I know it will be slower, but under my plan it would be more cost effective.

Anyone have any concrete information on this?
