That's bullshit. When I was a juvenile, I would do some stupid shit just because it was illegal - just to challenge fate. Do you think vandals, not those that spray paint their names or make a pretty pictures, but those that break shit - do it for fame, fortune or otherwise? What do serial arsonists gain? Nothing. Just the satisfaction of decadence - it is easier to destroy than to create.
You sir, are a pussy. I hope you don't expect it to be different in the real world. College was such a wonderful, fanciful time...reality is much more brutal. Be a man - oops, too late.
Pardon the religious one, those that defend/support organized religion are not great at reading comprehension due to their logic/reality challenges based on their reliance on a book written by men inspired by oppression and greed. Ever try to argue with a man of faith? Obviously it's an exercise in futility because they will only shout convuluted scripture at you (ignoring contradictions) and proclaim their "reference" material is beyond reproach because it is the "word of god". Ignoring the fact that it was written by men. Falible men. All men are fallible, thus any reference material written by man should be questioned - but then that screws with the whole faith thing...but I digress. Not to worry, they'll kill each other off in due time - in the "name of God" no less.

In fact, Stephen Hawking has said that when he places a bet, he bets on exactly the opposite of what he holds to be true. This way, if is he wrong, he wins the bet, if he is right, he loses the bet. Thus, he is always a winner no matter the outcome. He wants to lose the bet(s).
Wouldn't it be funny if we need to rely on hemp for the "Peak Oil" time.
Only a matter of time. Could you imagine the affect on existing markets if hemp/weed/pot became legal? Oil, cotton, alcohol, tobacco and otherwise? It would be a bloodless revolution. Well, maybe.
In America, "Tossing Salad" refers to eating out someone's asshole as well as the meaning you suggested. It generally refers to gay prison oral to anal sex.
It obviously escaped someone that such a benign comment also has a decidely "non-benign" alternative meaning. That kinda makes it funny.
Come on, you know he means both presidents - you know, Bush and his chronies and the "Them" administration - the one that doesn't get elected - we just refer to "them" as "they" - as in "They killed the guy who runs his car on gas" and "They have a secret deal with our alien overlords" or "They shot Kennedy". C'mon, standard stuff, tinfoil hat 101.
And makes me curious about the urge to pirate. Just go buy the shit. Maybe there is some sort of statement being made when that much is being spent to "arrrrchive".
Couple of things. Mushrooms will not come up on most drug tests. (Wouldn't matter if they tested or not) Mushrooms generally bring out the altruism in people - and hi-res colors. (No shrooming developer would EVER limit graphics, or do things like develop crippled software)
I can't believe the Redmond drug of choice would be 'shrooms, I think it is just good 'ol American crack - which supports your point - obviously they don't do drug tests.
Right, cause the average user will always want to run interchange, and a non standard version of perl. OBVIOUSLY linux is not ready for the desktop. The average user is going to need to install an app server, so until we can make that an easy endeaver, we should hang up Linux on the desktop.
I `OEMed' a linux box for my 50 year old, esl, pc n00b neighbor. It took him about 2 weeks to figure out how to look up an app, then urpmi it. He has yet to ask how to install interchange, but he installed xmms and k3b himself. At first he was a little freaked out that all of his windows cds didn't work, until I taught him urpmi. He loves it. It's funny, he really gets a kick out of: #urpmi.update -a;urpmi --auto-select --force and knowing all of his stuff his up to date.
OpenGroupware sucks, eGroupware has many more features. I have had a difficult time with angel mail (egroupware mail component) handling courier imap CORRECTLY though. The integration of the fud forum, and ticketing agent is especially nice. Opengroupware would be nice, but if you compare other open groupware offerings it is lacking (i.e. phpGroupware/ eGroupware). Opengroupware also depends on the postgreSQl db backend, if you already have mysql running, tough. Although Opengroupware handles courier IMAP better, it seems to muck up the dates so sorting your mail sucks. Opengroupware also has limited functionality. It does like 5 things well. To be honest, openexchange will be a welcome suite to evaluate.
I get that, and occasionally a "503 service is unavailable". I know they moved servers recently, but this is getting annoying not getting my nerd news fix on demand.
I know for a fact that apt-get works on fedora and urpmi works great on Mandrake. Their ease of use makes me curious as to how portage is better. A packaging system that solves dependencies as it installs is the goal of all three - so again why is it better? With portage, you wait for a compile. With apt-get/urpmi the package and it's dependencies are installed rather smoothly - I have yet to see a problem (as long as your sources are good). I rarely need to actually install an rpm as long as I have the plf sources, and I never have to wait for a compile. I also believe this ease of use would encourage the adoption of linux, as opposed to waiting for the app to compile... I think either you haven't tried these distros or you are clouded by gentoo groupthink.
Trust me, it makes no difference whether you're a paid subscriber or not. Someone didn't like what I had to say and marked several otherwise benign posts down and before I know it, I am banned. Who ever is deciding what the criteria should be, has it wrong. In addition, somehow, on my ip, someone had hit rss over a thousand times. I don't know how that is possible, but I am banned at work and home - I still can't post anonymously.
I wanted to let this drop because it's like arguing with the religous faithful, but I must at least answer one question.
Why do you feel the need to assume that someone cannot arrive at opinions that happen to be "to the right", without playing sponge to talking heads?
The reason is because it is impossible to arrive at those opinions unless you are trying to hone the rhetoric to suit the conservative agenda. A person who had independently gathered their knowledge would not display such a one sided train of thought that, somehow echos those that you profess not to know. Not knowing the major figures on either side of the debate shows a lack of research. I can not understand how you can do your research, arrive at a thought independently, and somehow manage to come up with the twisted logic of those that you profess not to know of. I am not conservative, nor am I lefty - I am a registered independent who is torn because the issues I am concerned about fall proportionately on either side of the debate. This forces me to crave an understanding of both camps. I hate bush, although I am not a big fan of kerry. I wouldn't vote for nader and I think Michael Moore made an ass out of himself by taking good information and twisting it enough to look like a zealot. One thing you will not, in good conscience, be able to call me is one sided. I resent it - especially since EVERYTHING you said represents an out of touch conservative. You have no idea of the facts, you have no idea of the context, and you have no idea of that which is at stake yet you belittle those that DO care. Typical holier than thou conservative. Congrats, all those that you profess not to know would be proud.
1. Yes, moveon.org IS left - I said not far left, or wild-eyed. Already slicing and dicing like a true conservative.
2. Jack-ass, they DID remove it.
Obviously I see 2 sides, that is why I pointed out your one-sided argument. If you HAD done your homework, you probably wouldn't have made the original post in the first place - why would anyone intentionally post something so false? If you had done your homework, you'd know who Bill O'reilly is, you'd know what I said was true, and you'd know that everything you said was a regurgitation of the GOP line and not the product of research or critical thinking. Like a true Rush fan - "Ditto, I don't know how to think for myself, so whatever you said Rush, I agree with." That is pure lazy mindedness.
I DO do my homework. I do this by listening to the conservatives because I happen to agree with some issues, I also want to know the whole story. This why I listen to Bill O'reilly, Hugh Huett, Michael Savage, as well as the other side (Al Franken, NPR)....you don't even know who they are - hypocrite. Do some research, save the political discussions for those that know the issues.
Just got my karma back, but I gotta do this anyway since you pushed the political bantering.
1. moveon.org is NOT a far left-wing organization - unless you listen to bill O'reilly. Visit their website, do a logic test. Now do the same at gop.org. logical fallacy after logical fallicy to explain the accusations of the "coalition of the wild-eyed" 2. The association between Bush and Hitler by moveon.org was made by a private citizen in media presented as an entry into a contest - not moveon.org. The contestent didn't win, and kerry nor moveon.org never endorsed the ad. They also denouced the submitted ad. 3. Bush/Cheney did however endorse and release an ad that included the Hitler picture that was submitted in moveon.org ad - again, perpetuating the half-truths of the Bill O'Reilly's of the world.
Fox is NOT "Fair and Balanced", diversify your news gathering instead of repeating the O'Reilly propaganda. Seriously, be a conservative all you want - good for you - just do you research, learn both sides.

We don't stop evolving, maybe it just hasn't been time yet. Maybe it wasn't neccessary for survival to be as pronounced.
