This just shows how very little you know about how *real* (i.e. political) espionage works. This is exactly what field agents in foreign countries do to foreign nationals with security clearances.
The trick (and trade of spycraft) is to convince the national it's in his own (or his own county's) best interest to divulge the information.
Maybe liberals *move to* cities, for their "hip urban appeal" or "cosmopolital perspective."
Maybe conservatives *leave* cities for rural areas to avoid being government-regulated by yet another geopolitical body.
I think maybe lifestyle *develops from* people's choices. I know people who I grew up with in suburbia choosing urban living ("I have to live in San Francicso because it's just so 'me.'") and rural ("I can live in a clean, safe, free place, and my nearest neighbor is 5 miles away.").
Class A retard alert. No the original poster, not me.
Like that piece of war porn The Jessica Lynch story?
..and the countless unproven, unsubstantiated speculation about whether it was staged, even after it was shown to be a genuine rescue.
Or how they pulled the Reagans?
...due to consumer pressure against an obvious character-assassination hit-piece by an anti-Reagan producer/driector.
Or how dissenting voices regarding the Iraq invasion were barely heard?
...absolute bullshit. I couldn't pick up a paper in the bay area without seeing "Bush=Hitler" signs and lionizing Black Bloc anarchists in the "protests." All this with no mention that the protests were organized and funded by the Workers World Party (self-proclaimed anti-american communists)
Or how a Hollywood star is now the governor of California and a Republican.
...and he was just better the least popular governor in recent history. He's a social liberal, and by some conservatives a "Republican in Name Only."
Or how media ownership is concentraed into the hands of a few vocal conservatives?
...oh yeah, and George Soros, Democratic lap dog, loudmouth, and fear monger is not using his billions of dollars to fund moveon.org TV commericals, and (the thoroughly unpopular) Air America radio.
Or how F9/11 got dropped by Disney and was in "can't find a distributator" mode for a while?
...and Michael Moore knew since the beginning of the deal that the Buena Vista wasn't distributing it. He only mentioned it after crying "censorship" to the gullable media. When he was called on the lie, he admitted he knew it DIsney wasn't distributing it from the beginning.
Or how shows that tackle history in an honest and non-partisan way only exist on PBS?
..including fawning documentaries of Middle East dictators and white-washed histories of Islam.
Or how Malkin can go on TV and say Kerry shot himself for his medals? Or how Anne Coulter can openly call Liberals treasonous and demand the deaths of muslims and coverting them to Xtianity. Both of whom are still on the pundit short list for other shows.
Malkin never said it; Matthews put that in her mouth. Read the transcript, illiterate. Who could defend Ann Coulter? We'll also ignore all the left-liberal pundits who predicted an American banana republic because of the tax cut (Krugman), or left-liberal darlings Rall and Oliphant slandering Jews, soldiers, and POWs and getting kudos rather than censure.
Or how only a satiric comedy show (the Daily Show) can actually break and frame issues in a manner which isn't corporate media ass-kissing?
Ah. this explains your idiocy and near sightedness. You get your news from the Daily Show. I also bet you get you talking points from CrossBalls and your BBC news from Flying Circus.
Yeah, its pretty PC lefty out there! You many know some liberals in the industry, but it doesnt make a difference if their bosses (who dictate policy and bias and call the shots) are conservatives like Rupert Murdoch, Rev Moon, etc.
What a load of shit. Sorry, I'm speechless at this willful ignorance.
Juan's mother was visiting Buenos Aires, Argentina; if you re-parse the original sentence, you will see that the original poster was referring to "Juan's father's wife" and not "Juan's wife."
Actually, I think you have the speakers reversed. I haven't met anyone with an iPod who cared a flying fig about the battery. HOWEVER, every one of them agonized about what style of case to put it in.

Yes, he should have. He was naive. He probably won't make this mistake in the future.
Agreed. When I got my job at a computer-company-who-shall-remain-nameless-but-MIG HT-have-some-kind-of-fruit-in-its-name, I was told in Employee Orientation that any software I wrote, from that point on, until the end of my employment there, would belong to The Company. No arguments, or discussion. It would be theirs.
I understood it perfectly, and I'm not sure why he didn't. He should have counted on it, and was totally naive, or willfully self-deceptive.
I used to live in Springville, UT, and there was a company that was a private utillity (like a cable company) that would install Cat-5 right up to the house. (in 1997-2000, IIRC) I don't remember the name of the company (they had a Cheetah as the company logo, though), but at the time, there wwas no cable net access nor DSL lines to be had in that small town.
I had high-speed internet to my house, 10BT speeds on my neighborhood subnet, and used to play netgames with my neighbors. My friend in Silicon Valley used to lament that DSL still had not been rolled out to his neghborhood, while I had it in semi-rural Utah.
More often than not, the reboots are *technically* unnecessary. Sometimes the reboots are just to ensure some daemon gets reloaded correctly and by the correct parent process. It could be done with a script, but could easily be foiled by the unknown state of any given user's machine.
Finally, sometimes reboots are necessary because they are replacing/updating the kernel itself. IANAKE (I am not a kernel engineer), but I have heard that not all kernel alterations can be done without reboot.
For the record, I hope they quit the reboot thing, and I wish every 3rd party developer realizes that NOTHING he is installing needs a reboot, EVER.
I also have a M.A. in Theoretical Linguistics, and I don't pretend to speak as an expert, just as a student.
It sounds like you have trouble with the "existence" of phonemes because they are not discreetly separable into clean, isolated units on a spectrometer. This seems like a failure, on your part, to understand the Phonemic/Phonetic distinction. This is a common misunderstanding. Just for the record: Phonemes are theoretical and in your head, Phones are physical air waves smacking against your eardrums and therefore microphones. Everything you saw on the spectrometer was an electro-visual representation of a phone.
Additionally, I have seen more compelling evidence for the "existence" of phonemes, as a theoretical construct than you have shown against them. (I will leave the discussion of "being" and "existence" of a theory to the Philosophy students). As a theoretical reference, they are very useful, much in the same way we posited subatomic particles before we could detect/segment them.
Much of what TTS and NLP engineers are trying to do is work from the theory to produce a results. IMO, the results using modern, phonemic practices are much better than older spectra/recording based TTS systems. The proof is in the pudding; real work is getting done by way of a theory.
One final note, unrelated to my main point: your description of the history of writing systems and writing's relation to language is highly inaccurate. Your description of the IPA and what it's used for is equally so. I used to think my Linguistics education was lacking, so it's nice to see that the there are schools still lower on the bell curve.
Managed Clients for X and Macintosh Manager 2.2.1
on
Mac OS in a Lab
·
· Score: 1
Apple bundles these managed client apps with it's server license.
It allows centralized preference and application management, workgroup shared folders, etc.
MCX is is totally sweet (a stripped down version can be found in in the Accounts prefpane of every Jaguar install (that has a non-admin user), but the industrial strength version is included with OS X Server.
Macintosh Manager is pretty good, but with Apple's focus *away* from classic OSes, it won't get any better. It'll just fade away.
And I would hope to God that the people making important, irrevocable decisions -- e.g. the U.S. government -- aren't relying on Yahoo! News for information.
Your hope might be in vain.
A few years ago, I interviewed with the CIA for a spook position. One of the suggestions given by the interviewer for fast, reliable, international news sources was...Yahoo! News (!?!) I was shocked and thought he was putting me on. I accused him of joking and he assured me Yahoo! News indeed was pretty good.
I'm sure he didn't mean that Yahoo was the CIA's sole source of information, but it was pretty funny to hear him say that they use it!

I don't know what coverage you're listening to, but on MY radio station , the Iraqi deaths are being reported.
