Atlantis is reputed (in ancient writings) to have a view of all three oceans and to be an island.
The Earth was not always at it's present axial tilt. Tilt the planet and Antartica will be located at the equator and have a view of all oceans. Look at a tilted globe sometime.
This has been the input of your local Free-Energy-Conspiracy nut.
As this is off the top of my head, TWAGOS (Take With A Grain Of Salt).
A scientist (who has been validated by winners of the Nobel prize, has mentioned a personal theory that oil (of which gasoline is a derivative) is a bacterial byproduct.
In other words, some species of bug has been treating sections of this planet, where certain mineral nutrients are located, as a prime food source. A byproduct is the crude oil we find so useful.
References can be found using Google and the terms "oil byproduct bacteria".
The mythical Grail refers to the bloodline of Jesus. The existence of the bloodline proves that Jesus is human. That's bad PR.
The "Quests" were a layer of mythology laid over massive, armed trips to the Middle-East where caches of archaelogical evidence existed to support the above concept. Review the Google results of a search on "nights templar grail middle east jesus crusade". Investigate gnostic christianity. It held that its leader, Jesus, was only human in much the same manner as Bhuddism.
Support the truth by thinking and learning for yourself.
The Crusades started because the Roman Catholic Church wanted to retrieve the recently discovered evidence that could have proven Jesus was only a man and that he had a child. The "Holy Grail" myth is a cover story -- the actually Holy Grail is the bloodline of Jesus.
The Church thought the line was abolished with the extinction of Merovingian line but they escaped. Read the DaVinci Code and learn the truth.
When will you people learn? Jesus was a human born to Mary and Jospeph of Aramathea. The original word for "young girl" (Mary) was erroneously substituted with "virgin" by the original translators. (I believe that was when the King James version was created, but am probably wrong.)
Jesus grew to be discontented with the current state-of-affairs, then hitchhiked to India and studied yoga.
He went back to Palestine, bringing with him a mixture of Hindu and Bhuddist philosophy. Many such elements can be easily extracted from the New Testament.
The local government became concerned about the power structure which formed around Jesus, and they trumped up charges to execute him.
If you want to know more about Jesus, read the non-Canonical books such as the Gospel of Thomas. Especially good are the Gnostic texts. All of these are available on Amazon.com.
The current generation X'er, who was born in late 60's or early 70's, can be said to have been born into the Golden ABC Age.
I write of the Age Before Computers. When I went to my quite-average elementary school, there were no computers and we were taught to use our minds.
My Junior High School years saw the coming of our FOE, Fall of Education. The first computer I used was a Radio Shack TRS-80 Model I. This comment is not to one-up anyone by saying I used this computer, but rather to point out that this was a school computer. The class involved learning to program in BASIC.
High School brought with it increased skills, knowledge, and Apple II+ computers. The school library and certain teachers possessed an a computer which became adjuncts to learning. During High School, the decision to focus upon Computer Science/Math was formed, and upon graduation, such became my major course of study.
What is the point of this rambling? That during my formative years, my education focused upon training my mental skills and not my mouse-gesture abilities! My abilities of problem solving and knowledge acquisition were given a solid foundation by training my brain and not learning how to accomplish rote tasks better suited for a factory worker.
The educational system is slowly awakening to the fact that computers have their place. Facilities such as Elementary School (and other early-stage institutions) are places which should focus upon teaching fundamentals. Computer use should be a rare thing so that children become familiar, but not dependent, upon computers.
My daughter's Montessori Academy, allows students to use a computer one day per week for less than 30 minutes. The formation of a self-sufficient mind is the foundation of all personhood.
I was installing Debian on a Dell Dimension 2350. Installing X-windows is not a problem now that 4.3.0 has drivers for the Intel 82845G board. The crucial element was network connectivity using the Broadcom 4401 chip. The standard Debian install CD does not include this driver which was found with Knoppix 3.3.
Knoppix is the first distribution, of which I'm aware, to include Broadcom support. Diehard Linux users can recommend reviewing system parameters and Linux compatibility before purchase but the Dimension 2350 is a cheap, relatively high-powered machine3.
The US is experiencing a "brain drain" because people lack the motivation to excel. This is due to sports where a skilled basketball player with the mind of a high school student can earn in excess of $1,000,000 per year. Also playing a leading role in the "dumbing of America" is the increase in off-shoring of jobs. "Why should I study Computer Science/Math? All those jobs are in India!"
We have passed a critical point in our progress as a nation. No longer is there economic incentive to build products here as we can outsource the factories and labor to other countries. Ideas follow the means of production. If there is more production in other countries, there will be higher standards of education and higher quality minds in other countries.
We must learn to accept and integrate the new standards of globalization into our society. The question of location of means-of-production should not depend on lowered cost, but rather on benefit to society.
An obvious example would be technology and China. Yes, costs are lower for Americans but the Chinese are destroying their environment. A large element of "recycled technology" recovery occurs in China and most of the toxic products in out technology are released into the local environment. Search Google sometime for the terms "technology toxic byproduct China" and you'll be amazed by the material.
Means-of-production should be located where society can locally benefit via increased employment, etc. Until nanotech duplicators are created, we'll have to live with the status quo.
Literature from centuries ago mentions that from the location, all oceans of the world can be viewed. Antartica has such a view: Pacific (which can be broken into Pacific and Indian oceans) and the Atlantic ocean.
Walter Wright is a very good friend of ours here at KeelyNet and we have finally gotten around to getting some of his papers typed up. Walter has been actively researching the PUSH gravity concept and has developed some astounding physical models to prove his point.
The gist of this aspect of the theories is that the axis of rotation of the Earth has changed. This is supported by modern science and archealogical evidence. If the axis of rotation was perpindicular to it's current position, Antartica would be on the Equator.
Jesus was a rebel child who traveled to India. He learned yoga and spiritual discipline. (Why do you think so many elements of Christianity mirror elements of Hinduism and Buddhism?)
He traveled back to the Middle-East and began spreading teachings about an enlightened life. The Man (government) did not want him teaching such rebellion-inspiring ideas so charges were trumped up and he was executed. But not before producing a child with Mary Magdalene.
The Council of Nicea, 321 AD, decided to raise him to the level of divinity as a tool to distract the public from his original teachings. (It's hard to focus on the message when you are in the presence of God's agent. Time to bow, scrape, and perform other devotions!
The Source of anything is a very simple Event. Man then proceeds to fuck things up because of ego, desire, and lust-for-power.
The summary of the subject has been enough to inspire a response before I know anything about the subject.
Unless physical harm or theft occurs, nations should ignore "crimes" that occur in other countries. Regardless of explanation, this will doubtless open me to flaming so please pause a moment while I don my asbestos underwear.
Germany's "anti-Nazi" laws are a source of humor to rest of the world as a sign of being unable to admit their history. Get over it.
Every country has stupid, foolish, dated, retarded, outdated laws on their books. Do you want to be held to the social standards of Mozambique? Do you want the narrow-minded laws of France to be a community standard? What about the many laws of American books regarding outdated sexual customs? (Oral sex is actually a crime in many places!?)
This post has rapidly deteriorated from the cerebral imagings with which I began. Flame on.
It is nice to know that law-enforcement agencies exist that can be bought and used like a toy cap-gun to enforce questionable legalities when Corporate Intere$t i$ involved.
I am using StationRipper at this very moment to rip songs from the soundstream of Club 977. This is for my personal use. According to the click-through agreement when installing the program, this is supposedly legal.
As a child of the 80's, the majority of my musical choices are from this era. Does this mean I will never buy another CD? Possibly. Will the RIAA seek me out now that I've announced I'm ripping from a stream? Possibly, but doubtful.
What's next? Video rippers will appear to complement the current generation of audio rippers. Does that mean no one will ever buy a DVD? Possibly, but doubtful.
Do I care? Obviously not. I'm a died-in-the-wool user of Debian linux. Society as a whole will evolve past this obession with control that provides entertainment for all of us who know the futility of such an exercise.
If the GOffice idea ever materializes, will the project be similar to Open Office (OO.org

Beware of the coming monopoly!
No one will be able to contribute source code to the Google Office that will meet the Google Office Developers' (GOD's) standards!
Yes, it's a stupid acronym joke... it's Monday -- Do you see the correlation?
OK, the producers of this "specially designed (enforced censorship)" DVD player are essentially:

This article reads as nothing more than a Linux-oriented Macintosh advertisement.
From the opinionated comment "if you want to use wireless with a laptop, buy a Mac" to his conclusion, his writing suggests buying a Macintosh to escape desktop troubles and attain nirvana.
I'm not bashing the Macintosh as my first computer was an Apple II+, Macintosh 128K (the original), Macintosh 512K, Macintosh SE, Macintosh Centris 610. I love the ease-of-use of the Macintosh and believe that Apple creates the best interfaces. (The "Dock" notwishstanding!)
He is short on specific elements that are better implemented in other OSes than Linux. That is the key to why Linux will dominate: It gathers the best of all possibilities unto itself.
"To master modern GUIs, one must recall the operation, layout and relation to each other of hundreds,if not thousands, of such panels. The hardest skill being recalling or discovering the correct sequence of operations on one control panel to access a control panel relating to a desired operation."
That is the purpose of Human Interface Guidelines!
Human Interface Guidelines exist to remove the need to know anything about a GUI. The Apple Macintosh is a prime example of this and is the inspiration for Windows, Gnome, KDE, etc.
HIG allow a user to simply learn how a system works instead of learning what to click.
Visiting the site AskTog will help any reader learn about the correct construction of a GUI. Yes, it is a science and metrics can be created for ease-of-use.
Pardon the rant, but claiming that the command line is unequivably the best interface for users is on par with claiming that the horse-and-buggy is the safest and most reliable form of transportation. It can be for some (Mennonites, Amish, etc.) but not for all.
No, I did not read the entire article -- after reading that sentence above about the difficulty of GUIs, I jumped to the conclusion that the author was a moron. I shall now revisit the article and possibly form a new opinion.
In the stead of proclaiming that SCO is run by lying corporate scum bent on world domination, I believe that discussion should focus on what can be done to destroy SCO.
A question for the more legally-knowledgeable among us: The gov't can do this, but is it possible for a private citizen or public group to initiate proceedings for the revocation of a corporate charter?
A civil case resulting in the dissolution of SCOX would be a landmark in the demonstration of power-of-the-people.
