    "he can't server them"

    I wish I had a dollar for every time I meant to type "serve" and typed "server"

    I think that we all type the word "server" so much that when trying to type "serve" our left index finger automatically heads for the "r".

    Funny that I thought it only happened to me.

    Very insightful comment.

    I also use Trillian and have almost come to take for granted their ability to surmount the obstacles placed in their way- all to serve their customers.

    No doubt that IM is seen by MS and AOL as the Next Big Enterprise Application.

    That right was given so that, if necessary, we could change our government. This is the most important right that upholds and enforces the tenet that the government is "Of the people, By the People..."

    Your post shows a complete lack of knowledge of free market mechanics.


    Put down your Marx, get your fat ass out of the server room and learn something about that which you spend a lot of time denouncing and whining about.

    A couple of years ago my oldest daughter, ten at the time, showed an interest in programming. I went searching for books on BASIC since I learned on that and still had access to it. I found nothing age-appropriate on the market. Frustrated I rummaged through old boxes until I found a BASIC programming guide for an old TRS-80.

    The point is that there does not exist the materials for young developers to learn with.

    That was a really lame response. A assertion that you either cannot or care not to substantiate.

    If this bozo had RTFA he would have known that they call the number to verify that they are actually selling what the advertisement posted says.

    Oh - yea, thanks for the link on oil imports. It's really a wealth of information.

    Gladly. Both of us got an education on this one.

    what do you think about the U.S.'s 5.3 m bbl?

    I think it makes liars out of those chanting "No Blood for Oil" since we can and do buy the stuff on the open market anyway. Now you understand what I am referring to when I mention the lies of the left.

    The agenda that is so dearly held by liberals makes them adopt the attitude of "Any means justify the ends", since to them the end is so important. In adopting this attitude, they sacrifice the truth, which inconveniently stands in the way of their end.

    I still don't know why I bother to defend Rush, I don't even listen to him 'cause he irratates me. I do however see him as a necessary conterweight to the lies of those with an agenda.

    Obviously you're arrogant to believe you know more about the internet than Vint Cerf does.

    Two things:

    1- Vint knows who pays the bills. One does not piss off a government official by saying "Algore is such a bozo and had nothing whatsoever to do with creating the Internet". Such things are not done by people like Vint.

    2- Ever hear the term "Damning by faint praise"?

    Saying
    "..Gore's initiatives had a significant and beneficial effect on the still-evolving Internet."

    is not a rousing defense of Gore, but just enough to keep from irratating those who provide the money.

    It is rather pathetic that those defending Gore have to hold this rather tenuous thread.
