Remember, when economic conservatism is around, social intolerance is never far away.
Thats funny, how did the National Socialist Party of Germany round up so many jews? Or stalin? Are you saying that economic conservatism is in fact socialism or communist?
Obviously, no nation which observes a free market economy has engaged in the extent of abuses perpetrated by the left. Those who advocate socialist and communist ideals are very angry people, starved wolves salivating for the bone they can't have. The 20th century has proven time and again that such people have a bloodlust never before witnessed in human history.
I suggest you read up on a little history here. Just because the average white man doesn't want to give half his income for your social programs doesn't mean he is intolerant. Not wanting to fund a housing project is a far cry from wholesale slaughter. Come back to reality, comrade.
All those siestas... you guys need to stop sleeping and start working!
Just kidding. I think spanish culture is wonderful. Sadly, it is a culture which has no place in the productive cult of our modern age. I would give anything for a siesta...

There is now more support for all-digital video cards, but it would be market suicide to become known as "that LCD manufacturer whose products aren't compatible with any of our old systems".
Perhaps that is true, but why can't they be sold separately? Make it a $150 add on feature. I would gladly get a digital out video card and skip the convertor, if that was an option. I bet many people would as well.
3) The whole "democracy for everyone!" idea is bunk. What makes you think that a system of government that works well for a rich, industrialized nation will work equally well for a decentralized nomad country (Afghanistan) and a very conservative religious society (Iran). Take Iran as a test case. The current government was put into place by a revolution of the people. That's the government they chose. If given the option, right now, they'd choose it again. Is it "right" to remake their country in our own image?
This is a great troll. I just can't help but respond.
I hope you don't believe that shit. I mean have you ever talked to a Persian? Have you been to a country ruled by a totalitarian regime? Obviously, the answer to both questions is NO.
Lets not forget Iran was once Persia as we have said. Do you really believe that the country has changed so radically from when it was one of the greatest empires on earth? Their people are very well aware of their nation's illustrious past... The current plight of their now renamed nation is an insult to many.
Tyranny can never be willed by the people, it is a contradiction on the same level as claiming a circle is square.
Just to let you know, this is done all over the US and probably most of the world. It is completely harmless. Go to places like Chicago. Do you really think sand ever actually existed on a great lake? Even small lakes in Minnesota cart in sand. Sand is also brought in on Long Island Sound.
Brought to us by Danny Boyle, the same director who did Trainspotting, The Beach presents a great existential look at human nature in the modern world. While Trainspotting showed the human adaption to the nihilism of the modern world, The Beach is about the escape from the modern world.
It really is a beautifully done movie. The scenery alone makes it worth while. That french actress is also perhaps the most beautiful woman I have ever seen. New Order did their first new song since 1993 for this movie, as Boyle is a good friend of the band. This is fitting, since New Order presents the same type of aesthetic as does Boyle.
Some drawbacks, Leonardo DeCaprio is the lead. I think he did well, but I missed many of his other movies like Titanic so maybe he deserves everyone's hatred. I think the movie failed at the box office because of him. He fits the role though I think...
IT=ts not as good of a movie as Trainspotting. But, that book was a little less complex than the Beach. Given that, I think its a great movie adaption.
But you buy other crap there? I mean, I boycott the place for the reasons you mention but also because I find their business practices offensive.There is no reason to shop there, so don't. The $1 you save is not worth the devastation to local economies... and their outrageous censoring practices.
The afghanistan once provided nearly a third of the world's opium, but no longer. That kilo of heroin might cost you $5000 today, but you might be able to sell it for $10000 tomorrow.

Warp 4 was released in 1996 - any copying (window close buttons, start menu, taskbar, etc) was by OS/2 off Win95 (for which MS copied of many other products as well, but Win95 was before Warp4)
Warp3 was more Win3.x-ish.
You must be kidding right. I only wish I had a version installed so I could show a screenshot.
Warp 4 certainly had many design elements of Windows 95, but they were ONLY a start bar type fthing and the X buttons. Those features were available years before in circa 1993 as freeware add-ons. Checkout Filebar and NPS WPS enhancer, from which MS primarily ripped their design concepts.
Many of the core ways that OS/2 worked were ripped from OS/2. A consistently gray GUI provided a much better look and was easier on the eyes. Buttons and bars had the "chiseled" look. MS even ripped the dark green background of OS/2 Warp 3.0. IBM did a whole study and determined that color calms humans better than any other. Lets not forget the absolutely revolutionary tabbed properties dialogue boxes.
OS/2 always had a desktop since 1992, three years before Windows 95. There was no true desktop in Windows prior to 1995.
In reality, the Macintosh had many of these features first. It was always striking how Windows 95 looked so incredibly similar to OS/2 Warp 3. They could easily have incorporated many of the design elements but still have created a unique look.
It can be very, very hard to be extremely involved in something - a problem, reading, etc. - and have the bell ring, signaling that you get to go to another class.
School was never designed to teach you anything, it was designed to turn you into a willing slave. The concept of the school bell was instituted initially by Pavlov, the same guy who experimented with dogs. Most of his experiments were done with humans. Being a Russian, it was quite easy for him to do this. Ultimately, it was found that when humans are exposed to startling bells frequently over long periods of time, they begin to stop craving any measure of autonomy. It really is futile. You get used to the idea that a bell is going to ring every 40 minutes, so why bother getting involved with anything complex.
School was never designed to teach anything of value, it was designed to teach free men that it is pointless for them to think for themselves. The teacher is preparing you for the boss who will also demand unquestioning acquiesence. The bell is preparing you for the factory, getting you used to working at an efficient pace without question. It lasts for 16 years because it really does take that long to truly break the will of a free man.
Anyway, just a little insight into that bell. The Sociology folks drooled over Pavlov's research in the early 20th century. They just could not wait to impliment it in schools.
In '88, the U.N. attempted to pass a resolution demanding the investigation of Saddam's gas attacks against helpless civilians. The resolution was blocked by -- wait for it.... --- the veto of the U.S. in the Security Council. Ironic, eh?

Why don't you provide the citation for that resolution and an approximate date it was vetoed (or ratified by the GA, or whatever).

You don't have the citation though, because its complete, utter bullshit! Anyway, good troll.
I have a PocketPC 2000 device, a Casio E125. Overall, its a great unit. A high quality screen, reasonably fast, compact flash slot...
But there seems to be one major problem that is really pissing me off. I just purchased a Linksys Compact flash 802.11b card. It works great, I can browse the web, albeit in a rather limited fashion. The Windows CE ICQ client works. Of course, MSN Messanger only works on PocketPC 2002.
But here it comes. THe only reason I got this card was to play mp3's off my network. So simple, but alas, I can find no way of accessing networked files on my device. Perhaps this is a shot in the dark, but its worth it. Please let me know if you can help.
I remember those cheap gas stoves in shit apartments. You have two settings: Hi and Lo. The thing is, you have to turn the dial to Hi, but turn it all the way back to get the low, simmer settings. Hi is just the setting which is high enough for the pilot light to ignite the flame. I never used "lo".
After a while you get used to it, and can eye ball the flame to get the appropriate temperature. After you are used to gas, the consistant temperature and instant on availability makes it a necessity. I just can't wait for electric stoves to heat up. Its infuriating. Plus, they stay hot longer after you turn it off... that is just dangerous.
Homes in Levittown were not 700 square feet. I live in a 110 year 2 bedroom apartment which is 800 square feet. Get a grip.
Your average lower middle class house in Brooklyn far from the wealthy sections is on average 1500 square feet. Note, this is where the parent poster was referring.
you really believe prices have not doubled since 1987. Maybe not for food, but definitely for housing. Quadrupled is more like it. You cannot rent an apartment anywhere in the Northeast for leass than $500 a month. That is still nearly 1/4 of the (net)income of someone making $35,000 a year, the median wage in the US. $500 will get you a shit studio in a complete utter ghetto. Hell, a one bedroom in the south bronx is $600 these days. No wonder 10% of the US homes are mobile homes. Check out the us census for that statistic. Don't have it off hand.
And of course, you think that realistically, demand can and will produce itself for 8 billion people in the world, especially when production is now globalized.
Supplay and demand works for people just like it does for goods. If the supply of some good (people/slaves) exceeds demand (jobs), the price of the good (slaves) falls. Big Shock.
Of course, do we really want to return to an era when people are treated as any disposable good, valued only for their productive capabilities like a machine?
The major union problem we have is the teacher's union. We have a skills gap because we're not teaching well in the K-12 arena and we end up with university students who have to take remedial education courses to catch up.
Please. Do you really think schools were created to teach anyone anything? Did you learn anything in school of any meaningful value? Why did ancient Athens not have comulsory education while Sparta did? Why did Socrates say that teachers can do nothing but corrupt?
Schools were created to first teach obedience and conformity. The motives were primarily to prevent rebellion. The secondary motive was to create the craving of novelty and acquiesence to authority which is a necessary part of our wage slave/consumer society. The 19th century lifestyle of frugality and high quality construction is incompatible with a consumer society. Schools are and have always been a tool of creating and maintaining a caste system.
You see, back before the word "adolescence" or "puberty" existed, youthful rebellion didn't involve the nonsensical escapism we have today. Instead of escaping the world by playing video games or getting fucked up on whatever drug of the moment, they actually attempted to change it through revolution. Youthful rebellion used to be the real deal. 12 years of education erased that phenomenon. Look up Admiral Faragett. He was one of the first captains in the early US Navy. He was only 12 years old when he first took command.
Further, a people not trained to listen to authority are not responsive to the pathetic dictates of business, ie marketing. Thats why the only real examples of outright manipulation in the 19th century was in the addictive drug industry. Coca-cola and cocaine. Bayer with Heroin. Philip-Morris with Tobacco. They had to keep people consuming by truly making them addicted. Today, it is a gigantic scheme of social engineering, and it starts with compulsive schooling.
Education is doing exactly what it is intended to do, make people as stupid and subserviant to authority as possible. It is the new form of slavery. Why keep a man in shackles when you can create a prison for his mind.
Highly paid, rigid labor markets are on full display in France and Germany. Compared to our unemployment rate, they're perenially stuck at 10% give or take, a much worse figure. The union effect is real.
No they are just a harbinger of the future. Learn to deal with it. Supply and Demand applies to people just as it does to products. The reality is the supply of people far exceeds the demand. We do not need 8 billion people to make all the useless shit in our world. From a productive standpoint humans are not merely expendible, they are almost entirely unnecessary.
Now if you believe that, good for you. However, history has shown us that people relegated to the status of irrelevant by the power of the day will do anything... especially anything violent. People who have nothing to lose have a nasty habit of getting really pissed off. Be prepared for the natives to get restless.
Economics is not a true science, is the measurement of the false social order created by sociologists. You will find in history that Sociology came before economics, and that sociology was originally intended to foster social engineering. Today it is a bunch of whining females, but in 1900 they did all sorts of fun stuff like impliment eugenics programs. Indiana was the first government in history to impliment a sterilization program of undesirables. Even Germany didn't start that business until the 30's. Guess what they called it, the Indiana Plan.
I could go on in on, but you are living and thinking in the academic universe, which is a fiction. Give it up, its all a lie.
One of the primary agents used in pressure treated wood is aresenic -- and there's some evidence that it does leak out into the surroundings (although still at a non-harmful level).
This was true 20 years ago, but even then only wood which would be exposed to the elements for long periods of time was treated with arsenic. It IS relatively safe, as long as you do not burn the wood and inhale the fumes.
Arsenic treated would is going to become illegal in less than two years. Menard's has already stopped selling it.

This discussion is about Serial SCSI which will have a peak throughput of 384MB/s. Clearly, firewire is insufficient.
