You have been listening to too much Rush Limbaugh, Michael Savage, or Bill O'reilly. To be completely honest, I think we all know that Clinton's economic prosperity would have happened no matter who was in office - it was the dot com boom, it was false prosperity and this is why we are seeing the problems now. We are just starting to stablize. I don't believe anyone can take credit for the state of the economy - the momentum is such that it takes more than a four year term to turn that beast. The employement comment was made becuase tech jobs are being hit the hardest and I'd hope whoever would relate. My point was pointing out that Bush's policies support corporations and Zionism [i.e. a different flavor of the very fundamentalism he is supoosedly trying to fight]
Yes, wonderful ideas - like giving the wealthy huge tax breaks, lying to America to avenge his daddy, and most recently, inviting a true terrorist - our buddy Sharon, to the White House to discuss how many more people we should murder in the name of Zionism. While he sings against islamist fundamentalism, he sings for the Christian right. Wonderful Ideas (tm). So wonderful, it is embarrassing to be an American with this guy representing us. Yeah, broadband sounds great - lets get Osama. Lets figure out how to implement this broadband. I hope the rest of America isn't naive enough to think he actually intends to follow through, he just needs to make enough promises to get him elected. I shudder to think of what damage this guy can do unimpeded - shit, look at what he has done while he was concerned about reelection.
If you were Palestinian, you could argue that it would happen whether they bombed or not. Remember, the Palestinians accepted the roadmap to peace, but Israel built a wall, and attacked with helicopters. Remember, before the last surge in violence, there was three years were there was not a single attack by any Palestinian. I am not taking their side, just pointing out that ANY killing can not stop this situation. So what if you Israel doesn't target civilians, killing is killing, and innocents are dieing as a side affect, the only solution is to STOP killing. As an aside, just look at the score thus far and consider who is "justified" in revenge. Palestinian deaths far out number Israeli deaths. Here's a link: http://www.ifamericansknew.org/stats/deaths.html and here is a summary: 2,805 Palestinians and 942 Israelis have been killed since September 29, 2000. Israeli children killed: 106 Palestinian Children killed: 528
Right, they are justified because after all they are the chosen ones and all of that land is rightfully theirs - God says so.
No. They ARE not justified. They are not any more justified than Hamas is in their desire for the total destruction of Israel.
It is impossible to choose a side in that cycle of death. An argument can be made to justify either's existence depending on your point of view. The ONLY solution is not better weapons or intelligence, but to remove all religious bias from policy. Any semblance of compromise causes revolt from the more conservative constituents on either side - it is an impossible situation until you remove God.
In the Middle East, religious bias = death. In America we are on the brink of a similar situation with our expanding Christian fundamentalism. The path to peace is the one that emphasizes tolerance and TRUE religious freedom.
I cannot believe there is but one true religion. I cannot accept that if a perfectly decent human being has a different religious preference than me he is damned. Both Israel and Palestine need to either gain this understanding, or be witness to a mutual self-inflicted holocaust.

On a similiar note - I thought Mozilla was going away in lieu of FireFox and Thunderbird. I stopped using Mozilla long ago for this reason - when are they going to focus on just FireFox and Thunderbird - or are they really? It seems that Most linux distros use Mozilla instead of the seperate clients. This bugs me when I have to install firefox/thunderbird and always makes me ask - "If Mozilla is going away, why do we still use it? Why is it included in the distros?" And ultimately "Why Bother". I know mozilla is a good product, but maintaining a "to be discontinued" product is like cpr on dead people - what's the point? Please enlighten me.
You know, I believe you are right. I read somewhere that alcohol kills brains cells - but which ones? Well, the weakest ones of course - thinning the herd as it were. So it stands to reason that if you were to drink enough [not too much, don't want to kill them all - just the shiftless or sick ones] you would have an optimised brain with only the more robust brain cells processing, thus a more efficient mind.
The point is pot is villianized when it shouldn't be. Shit, you can overdose on water if you try hard enough [ and you really don't have to try THAT hard ]
When the AMA states they have been unable to establish an LD50 for THC, I think that it is plausible that these numbers are just as accurate today as they were then. When you smoke pot, you get about 2 mg of thc. They have administered over 1000 mg without causing a death - you can draw your own conclusions, but I will continue to listen to the experts.
I would think that would be a Darwin award. Anyone who gets into the car impaired is asking for death. Just like anyone taking those cold medicines that say: "Do not use while operating heavy machinery" then goes out and operates heavy machinery.
I wonder how many people have died changing cds - I know I have had a pretty serious accident while managing music. I know people who have had accidents due to an ill placed lit cigarette.
In short, it's really irrelevant, and doesn't speak of the toxicity of the drug, only to the level of intelligence of the operator. Marijuana is not harmless - nothing is - [remember Dihydrogen Monoxide?], but it is over-rated as a harmful substance.

As soon as you unzip, AV goes nuts, so I haven't had any infections, but what bothers me is that I have AV on the mail server, the client, plus I pay mailwatch.com to filter all of my mail and they are still getting in....What if they had some undefined virus in that zip? All of my AV and I would still be infected.
AVG is handling the antivirus for my entire company - but before it was purchased, I needed to test it and ensure it would fit our needs. I used the free version in the testing of a 98, 2k, and xp machine with zero problems.
After 3 months I felt confident enough to make it comapny policy. I purchased the server versions for my windows servers at the time and the client for everyone else. To this date, I have had one infected user and it was because a remote user in Singapore had disabled it.
We've got a couple of those in downtown Phoenix. One on Central and one on 3rd ave for sure. You get to see who's got the balls rush hour downtown - I think those lights would be pretty handy. The car in the other lane ahead of you slows down and you're going "what the fuck is he slowing down for" then realize there's some ballsy bastard tempting fate.
...Unless you figure out a way to change the time. Which probably isn't trivial, but I would imagine not impossible. I mean there has to be a way to ensure the accuracy of the clock - compromise that system and you're golden. There must also be an override somewhere, or an alternate means of entry aside from the lock - just in case of power failure. Then there is of course the well placed block of C4 - that should do it.
It would be difficult to imagine a system that isn't both useful and circumventable.
"They've made a Unix-based desktop operating system that is solid, flexible, and powerful enough for real Unix work, while still being pleasent to work with and easy enough for novices. That's far more that the Linux developers have done."
You're probably right - I wouldn't know, I'm still stuck with my x86 system(s) - I'm having a hard time justifying the price tag to check the Apple stuff out [I have plenty of systems for a try out, just no apple stuff]. So I guess I am stuck with the inferior stuff the Linux Developers provide for you and me for free.
You ignored my first response you fucking coward, and I'll asume you'll do the same with this one.
I said this: "From what I understand - correct me if I am wrong"
The information was given to me and this is what I was lead to believe. So call me emotional, call me whatever, but I fully qualified my statement as possibly inaccurate and suggested it be corrected if not correct. Please don't misrepresent my statements and FUCKING CORRECT ME IF I AM WRONG.
I said "Correct me if I am wrong" Well, thanks for pointing out how "WRONG" I am, now correct me genius.
This is a summary, not a quote. I am describing the effect - please enlighten us as to what it REALLY says - or STFU.
"Labeling this as informative shows just how careful people read what they comment about."
All you did was say I was wrong - what is informative about that corky? Make it informative, tell us - several people have posted questions about the license - answer ONE - or STFU.
From what I understand - correct me if I am wrong - The license basically says "We're GPL, but some files included may not be - you better check those out for their specific licenses". Which means you have to deal with every single file associated with xf86 individually and there is a bunch. Most are saying that this is too big of a hassle and likely to be a great source of pain - and simply not worth it.

Yeah, marked flamebait instead attempting to show I am wrong - Bush jr and the corporations appreciate your vote. I hope you enjoy being unemployed.

wow, +5 for a polite RTFA - good job dude.
How the fuck is this interesting? It says right in the post:

WTF? And obviously even the mod didn't read the post. Jesus, this adds a whole dimension to RTFA. At least read past the title.....
