I am not worried about identity theft per se. I am worried that the New World Order is behind the entire dog and pony show. After spy's hacked the information from a dimwitted g-man, the CFR is now armed with lethal information (name, D.0.B., race & ss# is not a big deal--but 26 million at once is an exploitive demographic for more reasons than ID theft) they can potentially use economic warfare against 26 million U.S. Militia members in the quest to disarm the U.S. in an effort to control the planet.
Talking about dead, I am forced to use PaintCan Linux on a server at work and my brain cells retract from the mundane normalcy that Windows users tearfully regard as genius and challenging.
Then there are the Second Level Support guys dual-booting XP ~PRO~ (gotta say PRO) and 3 versions of Linnux. I can't behold how cool they are.
PROBLEM WITH BSD-aftert the install, it runs forever and you never need to log in again. Good for Linnux and Windows "perpetual destroy and repair" admins, which they inadvertently break their own daily and in spite of themselves get the extra funds and headcount to maintain the business.
Using and advocating KDE is like bragging that diving and swimming in the the 3 foot kiddie pool is better than the adult side of the pool-simply based on your lack of ability.
To say MAC ripped off X is the most ignorant statement I've heard. Oh, wait, calling OSX flashy eye candy beats that.
Tell us-exactly what part is the eye candy? What part is like X?
RIAA subpoenas Japanese scientists for 9 unauthorized Whales at US$175,000 per violation.
RIAA intends to seize all properties associated with the baleen Whales, who they say have rights to all science journal artwork, magazine articles, photographs and scientific models. A 972 page Cease and Desist letter requesting voluntarily compliance have been sent to all Japanese Elementary school students, and the scientist who had pictures of Whales in fishskin on his hard-drive.
Initially the funds(lawsuits) generated from the newly discovered Whale would have been used by privileged RIAA members and attorneys for "entertainment tasks" and other "unspecified usage" for the 100 year war against piracy, and that no records would be kept. But after much public outcry(a web survey) regarding the use of funds secured on behalf of the whales, RIAA quickly reversed it's decision and announced all money harvested for the Balaenoptera Omurai Whale will be donated to ~Whalers With Aids~. The gesture caused the American public had a giant social orgasm, and continues to consume the popular Le' Big Orca at McDonalds.
UPDATE: RIAA sues Whalers With Aids on behalf of Bunny Wailer, says spellng differences are no difference to those who can't read or write.

Diebold's attempts to bring undisclosed-source, unauditable black-box voting to a ballot box near you
Remember, it's not the amount of votes that count, it's who or what counts the votes that count. Also keep in mind Diebold has 6 ex-CIA members (is there such a thing?) on their board of directors.
This is probably the single worst day in Windows music client software history.
Imagine a once invincible army of elite club toting cavemen seeing the warhead end of an F-16 for the first time. For the Windows user, this is much like a lost Dallas Cowboy Cheerleader on X and tequila accidentaly tumbling in your arms at Matamoras whorehouse:-) It's that big of a difference!
While reviewing the iPod, he just couldn't resist pointing out that another pair of headphones which costs as much as the iPod itself would be the perfect accessory to complete the gadget.
They sound good, but I'm upper lower middle class, so, yes, I do need to monitor the buck flow just a little. For a much better return on the money, I recommend the next level down from the ER-4P: the ER-6. About $130.00 on the 'net. You'll find great reviews on them.
Sorry I don't have the name of the book handy, but a water hugger just presented his analysis of the Earths weather and climate changes to the science community based on his theory that the water capacity on the planet never changes-we always will have so many willions cubic ton's of water either on top, in the atmosphere or beneath the ground on the planet. (I realize that this is far fetched)
As the Earth spins smoothly through outer space, the balance of raw weight determines rotation speed.
Now dam up the rivers all over the planet, such as the largest dam on Earth in China, and the hundreds of thousands of randomly placed dams all over the round globe-the balance alteration is causing the Earths rotation to literaly become out of balance.
Like a wobbly tire we hurl around the sun - wopwopwop.
Accordingly the climate readjusts and causes bizarre weather changes simply because of the correction process.
It may take a long time to balance itself out, in the meantime nations are unpredicatably affected.
If I find out the name of this waco water conspircy theorist commy liberal for even thinking such a far fetched unproven anti-semitic theory, I'll post it up.
I downloaded 212 songs yesterday. I used a lawyer freinds account just for the fun of it.
138 songs had grating audible digital "clips" within them (PAIN on the ears- PAIN on the listening soul-OUCH)
72 songs were 96 KPS
98 songs were crappy 128 kps
The rest were above 160kps, but many tailed off or contained digital clips.
120 had the bad labling and had to be re-labled
87 Songs ended with a second or two left to play, and just cut off.
That left me with 17 good songs out of 212 that were above 160kps. That means about one in nine songs are even the quality enough to store on my iPod.
I like ripping my own CD's. It's done right. All the crap out there should be deliberately uploaded by the RIAA. they should have blips, they should be cut short, they should be 96KPS. If I like the song, I'll go buy it. Usually I buy CD's online. Most rippers today are total amateurs.
One more question: How much of a copyrighted song is illegal to listen to? The verse, the bridge? 30 seconds, or only a complete song?
Seeing as our leaders and teachers and preachers and parents and wise men teach us children to abide by the rules of business codes of conduct, facts and law & and could care less about us as souls-awareness and godliness and truth, it makes sense to me that we might just consider operating systems as our identity-with it's flaws, strengths, ability and image.
I personally love MacOSX, simply because it's got good roots and is ~really~ a great marriage of Classic and 20 years of Classic Apps to BSD complete with the case mods, and it is now the true mind organismer of the world. After all BSD is the Adam or Eve of TCP/IP, and Apple is the computing worlds imagination, and art. (Okay, I know, Lilith was before Eve, but she was the psycho first wife, long forgot)
Anyways, the drab PC world is the body, which statistically takes more damage and physical abuse than the Brain, a very sensitive organ. If a PC takes on a cold, the body takes meds(and don't think the brain isn't in on what kind of meds to use;-) and can generally take on most viruses, as it is resilient, strong and durable. The brain (Apple), if it took the slammer virus, it would likely epilepticate the whole body cavity (The 'Net would be the Phone Company without Apple). (Other parts would be Solaris the shrunken penis and Linux the anus. And of course SCO, the uncircumcised part of the penis. And IBM, some major organs & guts, and Xerox the butt cheeks and Novell a toe.)
The Holy Ghost would be me. I am responsible for my own actions, I understand the laws on copyright piracy as stated on my birth certification. I have been drilled by the media and our leaders that the ancient US Constitution is old and I have been briefed by my local government that it is outdated and unused. I now Pledge Allegiance to the USA Patriot Acts 1, 2, 3 and soon, 4. I pledge to the product which is improved before me. Software releases are my nutrient.
Microsoft is KING. One virus enjoins, corrals, all of the worlds minds back together, to the 'net, to Microsoft. World leaders share the blaster link with trailer trash. Priests using WinXP come together with Satanic devil worshippers (Uh, wait-that would be Fox and the NWO, right?) All share the common emotion, we all have the SAME BOSS. Microsoft.
Hail to the King. If I was Gates, I would be smiling every time world attention focused on my company. Bad press is good press. This is business, bottom line. And business is good when a virus infects. We are a manic depressive society. We yearn for pain and suffering to generate good times and estaticism. Viruses provide this in such a sterile and safe way, the antithesis and a simili to those who are addicted to porn. Virtual. Business
I love the fact marketers and politicians didn't get in on the pre-attack capitalization & exploitation by preplanning it in advance like they usually do these type of "nationwide" events. The Blackout probably saved Americans 2 billion dollars in wasted energy simply by turning off the switch for 5 minutes and giving the sonic bomblastment of current draw back to God, like peace, man. So, this is currently my favorite major catastrophic event this month, because it didn't involve the DOD, CIA, FBI, ADL, AOL, Waco or Janet Ashkraupht.
Then this would be a site you would love: iNfOwArS
But then again, since you are iliterate (the main clue is that you don't know what the word Communism means) it will likely not be comprehendible to you.
That's all us Classic iPod'rs want. We at one time not so long ago had been wooed, courted, impressed, flirted, tickled, aroused by funny talking nerds on Quicktime ads, then #$&-BaBAAM! bitch-slapped and Koby'd in the rear.
The cries you hear are only emotional outburst, not a demand for personal programmers on each of our iPods perpetually, really because, what part of the interface needs improvements? Not 1.3. 1.3(not to be confused with 1.3) is fine. It is void of that commercial interface, thank goodness.
The Classic iPod ruled the world. It was the darling of the rodeo. It had all that class. It was neat-0.
Early 2003, the iPod was given plastic surgery, admittingly better than Christina Applegates, and shoved along into the big world, fending for itself, lacking the original charm. Now it's specifically designed to withdraw finances from the owners like a high maintenance fake boobied hustler.
I'll take a Classic iPod anyday! Update all you want you wannabe New iPod'rs, you still lack the one single thing that matters, a sense of free love and happiness, that which sadly was used by it's pimps to beget this hideous PayTunes4 monster. Toil New iPod with your excessive wires, cables, games, address books, calendars, proprietary formats, Windows software and docking station assemblies, not to mention the pretentiousness that is overbearing, while riding on the laurels of the Classic.
I'll keep my old Classic, you can continue updating your 'New' Apple mp3 Player with the latest "New and Improved" methodical software and watch your money slip away even faster than ever before; the money all goes to the largest demographic of longhaired dope fiends, queers & draft dodging musicians and entertainment executives.
Long live the iPod Classic - King of ALL MP3 players, yes, it still reigns over Apples new model mp3 player.
I feel downloading music is just like listening to the radio, except the radio is commercialy primitive and plays only a few songs they want me to buy one at a time; sometimes over and over-then I get sick of it, and I won't buy the CD, because it's on the radio every hour.
I buy CD's. I can't hang out at the music store and ask the clerk to unseal and inject/eject 200 unheard unknown CD's so I can skip through the albums. The 'Net does this at my convenience.
I buy lotsa CD's--the amount of my purchases has gone up-and I downloaded them and listened to them first. Didn't cost the artist or label a penny. Why don't artists release their album music on the Net for free, but less quality, or trimmed, confusing the legit burn copiers, mixing it up with the other files named the same name? I'll tell you why-cops and lawyers are traditionally pretty dumb when it comes to "real world senses", all they know is the bust, or the crack.
Who is losing money? Old ignored question. Who is now making money? Lawyers of course.
Music should be FREE. If you use Gods sound waves, make music with His aurel spaciousness, the music man should make it for free. I also think their product and package should be paid for. But I want to listen first.
I buy CD's all the time. Take away my test drives, and those CD's gather dust on the store shelves. The bottom line is that the market is moving and the dawgs are pissing on everything they can and could care less they are pissing on their own mothers-the goal is absolute power.

I wonder if the new beetle is as dissapointing as the new iPod. I have a new 30 gig iPod and an old outdated classic 20 gig (It's 3 months old but w/no more development from Apple available).
Sure, the ancient old classic lacks the dripping commercialism and activity tracking which aims at the hearts of the modern naive globalist consumer, with the new PayTunes4.
But the old classic model blows away the new models, and has 50% less wires and ports and docking stations.
I'll take an antique (1969) Bug (which I have) and a 2003 outdated classic iPod any day. Besides, didn't conumer reports just put VW in the top 10 of new vehicles that FALL APART the quickest?? Hell, Ford gives $1000 rebates, I can buy 2(TWO) iPods with that and have enough for 1 $20 CD!
Farmers get 2% of a loaf of bread from their wheat. Landowners selling timber get.5% Mineral Rights yeild 0.3%

Ranchers are artists, the way they create exquisite bovine products from the ground up, some are works of astounding quality. Mmmm.
Most cattlemen sell calves, at about 300 pounds ($1perpound), for the most efficient return, unless they have inherited rangeland, then they can get them to 500-600 pounds (avg75cents per lb) before heading to the feedlot before the final fattening occurs(Feedlot: Production Studio for cattle)
The rancher gets the $300 and distributes it out to the bass player (vet) the auction barn (6%) The lead singer(Jose, the illegal immigrant) 20 bucks, Monsanto for the scientific genetical alteration copyright fees for the Monsanto(c) Bull Sperm(c) 33%.
A rancher get's enough profit to survive another year on a diet of beef and Pepsi, drive a new Dodge and are forced to send their kids to public school.
Could it be an artist is much like a diesel semi-truck? Sold to a broker as a tool to simply perform it's contactual duty to use their powers to generate as much profitable enterprise during it's functional lifespan as possible?
Trucks are sold much like a slave, demand only an operator, mechanic and fuel. An artist is like a truck.
12% indicates the watermark for how much screwing an artist is willing to take to be employed by the art system.
I'll stick to selling my painted hub caps on the side of HWY 471 for 100% profitablity.
