Iraq's mess is the first Bush's fault for listening to the consensus that we shouldn't go the rest of the way into Baghdad. The people were looking to us to liberate them from Saddam, instead we stopped short, leaving him in power for another decade. No wonder they hate us.
from what I understood 11.10 would have dogged it down badly, I started with (and preferred) 10.x netbook remix, but there was an issue with the battery monitoring that it would read as drained even with a 99% charge (and thus shut down). So how will 12.04 run on the netbook? (Acer Aspire One with Atom N450 CPU, 2 GB RAM)
"People can quarrel with whether we should have more troops in Afghanistan or internationalize Iraq or whatever, but it is incontestable that on the day I left office, there were unaccounted for stocks of biological and chemical weapons."
Former President Clinton
During an interview on CNN's "Larry King Live"
July 22, 2003
"As a member of the House Intelligence Committee, I am keenly aware that the proliferation of chemical and biological weapons is an issue of grave importance to all nations. Saddam Hussein has been engaged in the development of weapons of mass destruction technology which is a threat to countries in the region and he has made a mockery of the weapons inspection process." Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi (Democrat, California), Statement on US Led Military Strike Against Iraq, December 16, 1998
"In the next century, the community of nations may see more and more the very kind of threat Iraq poses now -- a rogue state with weapons of mass destruction ready to use them or provide them to terrorists, drug traffickers or organized criminals who travel the world among us unnoticed. If we fail to respond today, Saddam and all those who would follow in his footsteps will be emboldened tomorrow by the knowledge that they can act with impunity, even in the face of a clear message from the United Nations Security Council and clear evidence of a weapons of mass destruction program." President Clinton, Address to Joint Chiefs of Staff and Pentagon staff. February 17, 1998
"The hard fact is that so long as Saddam remains in power, he threatens the well-being of his people, the peace of his region, the security of the world. The best way to end that threat once and for all is with a new Iraqi government -- a government ready to live in peace with its neighbors, a government that respects the rights of its people." President Clinton, Oval Office Address to the American People, December 16, 1998
"Imagine the consequences if Saddam fails to comply and we fail to act. Saddam will be emboldened, believing the international community has lost its will. He will rebuild his arsenal of weapons of mass destruction. And some day, some way, I am certain, he will use that arsenal again, as he has ten times since 1983." Sandy Berger, President Clinton's National Security Advisor, Town Hall Meeting on Iraq at Ohio State University, February 18, 1998
"No one has done what Saddam Hussein has done, or is thinking of doing. He is producing weapons of mass destruction, and he is qualitatively and quantitatively different from other dictators." Madeleine Albright, President Clinton's Secretary of State, Town Hall Meeting on Iraq at Ohio State University, February 18, 1998

"What shall we do with the Negro?" I have had but one answer from the beginning. Do nothing with us!
Your doing with us has already played the mischief with us. Do nothing with us!
If the apples will not remain on the tree of their own strength, if they are wormeaten at the core, if they are early ripe and disposed to fall, let them fall! I am not for tying or fastening them on the tree in any way, except by nature's plan, and if they will not stay there, let them fall.
And if the Negro cannot stand on his own legs, let him fall also. All I ask is, give him a chance to stand on his own legs! Let him alone!
Just the threat of increased oil production will cause the price to drop...
July 11, 2008 a barrel of oil topped out at $145.08, July 15th Bush lifts ban on offshore drilling and by December of 2008, oil was down to $37.71 a barrel... and that was nothing more than a threat.
As long as it looks like (to the traders) that there is a "shortage" of oil, then they will keep trading high, that's how they make their money.
in lots of locations worldwide, a standardized naming scheme works best... we use location, primary or secondary server number, application name, dev, test, or production, and which server in the cluster it is
so something like LAX1SDP1... we know where it is, what its function is, and how critical it is if something is going wonky at 2AM
it ain't sexy, but it sure helps keeping things straight
now as for my local network I know where everything is so I name mine after mythological creatures
it only gets old to those who were stupid enough to vote for the current president and all that crap that came with him. You don't like being reminded just how gullible you were...
"We will achieve our goal of making this administration the most open and transparent administration in history"... "Americans have a right to know whose voices are being heard in the policymaking process," - President Obama
then explain how after taxes were cut under JFK & Reagan, receipts to the feds increased dramatically?
here are some numbers for you to run... you cant cut the federal deficit by increasing federal spending... until they cut spending, why should we entrust any more money to them?

And Clinton laid the groundwork for the war on Iraq, your point?

1) cut subsidies and watch prices go up, you think the oil companies are going to just eat that cost?
2) that's what the gas tax is supposed to do, quit trying to penalize taxpayers for gov't mismanagement
3) I would love for them to tax Gas like regular sales, that would knock the gas tax down from 49 cents a gallon to about 30 cents a gallon
why not? It IS their system afterall...
you are right, because underperforming IT Personnel, police, doctors and the like are fired... unless there is a union to stop them
The problems we face today exist because the people who work for a living are outnumbered by those who vote for a living
by taxing everything that moves, then bitching because some folks can find a way to succeed anyway...
They are still airing the ad...
Seriously, why is it "unlikely that this was a deliberate or coordinated attack by Google HQ on the competition"
Just because Google's motto is "do no evil" they sure don't live up to it...
Do you honestly thing the govt doesn't have enough money?
it only gets old to those who were stupid enough to vote for the current president and all that crap that came with him. You don't like being reminded just how gullible you were...
how's all that hope and change working out for you?
"We will achieve our goal of making this administration the most open and transparent administration in history" ... "Americans have a right to know whose voices are being heard in the policymaking process," - President Obama
are you sure? they haven't released his school transcripts
what part of "physical presence" do you not understand?
then explain how after taxes were cut under JFK & Reagan, receipts to the feds increased dramatically?
