Oops forgot about him. To be fair though he did not admit that he did not believe in god. He did critisize organized religion but he goes to church regulary himself. I presume he does believe in god. I admire him for tackling very powerful religious organizations in this country. I know he will get a lot of flack for it and may even be kicked out of his own party for saying those things. Kudos to Jesse!
Its based on a point system. There are points awarded for skin color and religion. There are bonus points for nuclear weapons. Lighter skin colors get higher number and darker skin colors get lower numbers. If you are mostly christian or jewish you get bumped up but if you are moslem or hindu or budhist you get bumped down. Yellow people are in a category of their own and are a wild card. Lets score a some countries as an example Israel: light brown people -1, jewish +1, Nuclear weapons +1. Score 2 first world! India: Dark brown people -2, hindu religion -1, nuclear weapons +1 score -2 second world!. Khazakistan: light brown people -1, nuclear weapons +1, moslem religion -1, score -1 second world. Japan: Budhist/shinto -1, no nukes 0, yellow people +3 (Wild card!) score +2 first world! You can use this simple guide to determine where in the world countries stand. Politicians use a very similar guide to set foreign policy too!.
I hope I was able to clarify this for you. In guess who is coming to dinner there is a quote that I love. If you're white you're all right if you're brown stick around if you're black stay back!
America is the most uptight censored country I have ever been in. No cursing, no nudity, no nothin. The media is scrubbed clean before it ever reaches the pristine and virginal ears and eyes of the citizenry. Also many subjects are just plain taboo. I am still waiting for an American politician to admit he does not believe in god, Or that drugs should be legalized. I have never been in Australia but I can not imagine that it's more censored then here.
So what you are saying is that if MS violates the GPL by including GPLed code into NT then we would not need the goverment or the courts to sue them. We would politely sit down with an arbitrator and they after being convinced by our arguments would willingly give in and play nice. A very interesting argument. I can see it now mining companies actually cleaning up rivers instead of dumping cyanide in them, timber companies actually planting and caring for the trees, food processing companies spending millions to make sure no bacterial contamination occurs. All we have to do achieve this paradise is to disassemble the
You are right!. To hell with them. Free software got along this far without the help of any corporation. Who cares if Linux has 10% or 100% of the market. It's cool and we like it. We like it because it was written for us and by us. Let's not dilute our licenses and comprimise our ethics and principles just so linux can scale to 64 processor s next month. If the need is there it will scale eventually. I for one don't give a flying donut (tm) about 64 processors and I would guess that a vast moajority of Linux users don't either. The only people who can afford those are corporations anyways.
I guess every body has their own opinions. In my opinon anybody who contributes code or fixes a bug for solaris or any other non open/free software is just another sucker (tm). These corporations know that a sucker is born every two minutes and they are going to exploit them as much as possible. If was to find a bug in a piece of software that I paid big bucks for and my only two choices were fix it yourself or wait six months to forever I would switch to a better product and or company.
I suppose some people think murder is funny. Probably the same people who think that limiting the basic freedoms of people you disagree with is funny too. I guess I am not one of those people.
Money is good except that it has one severe drawback. Interest. Communitites accross the US and on the internet have been experimenting with alternate currencies and barter systems. You can go to http://www.transaction.net/ and read some very interesting articles about this subject.
A barter system works great if you set up an alternate currency. The internet is the ideal medium for such a thing.
Actually barter is taxable. Everytime you barter you have to report it and pay taxes on it. Of course nobody actually does this but if the IRS ever decided to enforce this law they could tag everybody in the US.
You are absolutely right if the web is intended as a read only medium which (IMHO) it was originally envisioned to be. Like it or not it has involved into a read write medium and an apllication platform for which it is woefully inadequate. Why people chose a stateless anonymous medium to try and build apps is beyond me but by golly there it is and we gotta deal with it. Static web sites are pretty rare these days.
Check your start menu. I bet you have the office quick start thingie (whatever the hell it's called). In any case the reason office loads faster is that most of the DLL's that it uses are loaded by windows. When you turn on your windows it pre-loads a bunch of dlls that office uses. MS has an advantage there in that they control the OS.
Most liberterians tend to be white upper class males. They in fact are in the "ruling class" of this country and are in-fact "doing the screwing" as you state.
they seem to have active distaste of for the poor and the working class salt of the earth types. I hear these guys on tv continually bad mouthing teachers, union members, immigrants etc. Anybody who tries to get a little power seems to annoy the heck out of them.

Murder is not coercion.;-)
This has got to mean something. One liberterian is asking for ways to limit the freedoms of an individual. Another liberterian suggests murder. This is why liberterians are a fringe group will continue to be one.
I am sure that all this made great sense to you when Rush said it but...
Your biggest worry is not some Muslim in Russia or an ICBM from India. Your biggest worry is some right wing wacko with anthrax. It is well known that the fringe militia movement has biological and chemical weapons and are not afraid to use them in some racial/religious holy war.
Why didn't they bomb us back then? If they had the capability and a reason (motivation) what are they waiting for? If they could have they would have something must be holding them back.
Like it or not words have power. We (the geek community) probably tend to underestimate the power of words but make no mistake about it they have lots of power. GPL has power and it's just a bunch of words. Try this experiment. Call your wife or girlfriend or mother a bitch. Then see if they'll buy your only words explanation.
My concern is that all of the technologies you have talked about don't partition the application sufficiently between the logic and UI. I have used CF for a couple of years and I have seen it evolve into a nice little platform. I do wish it was more code oriented but version 4 has some very nice scalibility features built into it. My biggest gripe with CF (and this is probably also true with JSP, ZOPE, PHP, ASP) is that your code tend to look like hell. All full of HTML tags intermixed with javascript intermixed with proprietery tags. The real question is what is the best web developement platform when you really want to separate the UI developement from the logic developement.

I could not have agreed more. You have cut to the heart of the matter. This post deserves way better then a 2.

Cool I am moving today!. Less taxes and free health care!. I wonder if I would miss the Cold winters in Montana or the wackos holed in cabins tho.
it was egg.microsoft.com I don't know if it's still up though.

As far as I know they loas the case and had to cease and desist. I think they ended up paying stac so they could keep using the code.

A lot of people use CF with access. I have set up many sites that do just that. You do not need a database server.

Hey that's the ticket just turn off your moral compass! If you don't care then your consience will never bother you.
What criterea would you use to judge the relative freedom of a country?
Percentage of the people in jail?
Percentage of the people killed per year by the justice system (death penalty, killed by cops etc.)?
Number of laws that a person is subject to?
Equal access to justice regardless of wealth or race?
Take a brief second and think about which countries are free and which are not?
I know this is off topic but in no way does the parent post deserve to be moderated to 5.
