Agreed, these guys are more Neocon FUD machines, pay them no mind. Under Reagan and Thatcher the business climate was made more 'Receptive to the needs of business'. I call it Crackwhoring. The old leftist went too far in the 60s and that backlash resulted in the cultural vacuum that was the 70s. In the 60's leftist were robbing banks and blowing stuff up. Opposing viewpoints come in waves, swing left with hippys, back with disco, back left with Carter and back right with Regan/bush back left with Clinton, back with right for bush.
Frankly the waves are getting weaker. Right - Left, who cares whose correct. However pour some sugar in a cup of coffee, you will have to stir it around to get it properly mixed. The bush vote was the last gasp for isolationist heartland America. Hollywood is a cultural acid to heartland values. Corparate money interests have no loyaties to Neocon values, if the left can raise the bid with the money from movies and technology like stem cell, the neocons will be shown the door like the crazy on the street corner with a "Doom is coming" sign who wanders into the NYSE.
heard that before? Yep it's Gibson. 2004 may be remembered as one the final gasps of the right. Globalization inevitable. It isn't some sort of wishful, after the loss doctrine for the Left elite. The neo-cons want to build walls against change and unfamiliar ideas.
Unfortunately for them, their own plans are about to lead them to cultural ruin. Bush's plan to provide High Speed internet to the nation should be read as what to him would seem akin to the Rural Electrification Project. Where the idea was, lets get power to the people out in the farms so they will be more competive and produce more. That sort of backfired. They got used to the power and started wanting more. More TVs, DVD, Fancy cars and the lowly Banana.
The upshot was that the young started to abandon the farms in droves. As they did the cheap labor of the farm children was replaced by cheap labor from immigrants. The old cycle was that the Farm would be inherited by the children of the farmer and next generation would take over. As the found new jobs as computer programmers and got MBAs they let their parents sell of the old family farm to large agro businesses. Large Farms got larger and Cities got bigger.
Wiring the rest of the county will give reason for companies to relocate to cheaper parts of the US and bring good jobs to town who's main income was the local speed trap. If your a Conservative Rural Republican in a Red State, visions of selling farmland to city slickers for housing and commercial parks must seem like heaven. Voting for Bush was voting your pocketbook.
Now here comes the other side of the coin. Unlike mining towns of the 19th and early 20th Century you really can't lock people in. Your neigbors will undercut your housing deals because they all got buckets of land and nobody to grow whatever.
Right now the current FUD is that Liberals don't respect people with Faith. The fact is that the rural people can't afford to break the back of the liberal technology complex. Ever wondered why Strict harsh and very communist China hasn't stompped all over Hong Kong? China needs Hong Kong more then Hong Kong needs China.
I saw a pic of ballots being loaded into a truck with a Bush 2004 sticker on the back.
In other news, I talked to a guy on the internets that heard from someone else that there was a website that had a 2nd hand account of really nasty about what's his name. And when they went back the site was mysteriously gone.
Wait there, I think there is helicoptor above my house.
Time passes.
I heard it and it was too dark to see, guess it must have been one of those black helicopters.
You know what Stuart? I like you. You're not like the other people here in the trailer park. Oh no, don't get me wrong, they're fine people, good Americans. But they're content to sit back, maybe watch a little Mork and Mindy on channel 57. Maybe kick back a cool Coors 16-ouncer. They're good fine people, Stuart. But they don't know what the queers are doing to the soil.
You know that Johnny Werzner kid - the kid who delivers papers in the neighborhood? He's a fine kid. Some of the neighbors say he smokes crack, but I don't believe it. Anyway, for his 10th birthday, all he wanted was a burrow owl, just like his old man. "Dad, get me a burrow owl. I'll never ask for anything else as long as I live". So the guy breaks down and buys him a burrow owl. Anyway at 10:30 the other night I go out into my yard and there's the Werzner kid looking up in the tree. I said, "What are you looking for?" He said, "I'm looking for my burrow owl." I say, "Jumping Jesus on a pogo stick! Everybody knows that a burrow owl lives in a hole in the ground! Why the hell do you think they call it a burrow owl, anyway?!" Now Stuart, do you think a kid like that is gonna know what the queers are doing to the soil?
I first became aware of this, about 10 years ago, the summer my oldest boy Bill Jr. died. You know that carnival that comes to town every year? Well this year it came with a ride called the Mixer. The man said "Keep your head and arms inside the mixer at all times." But Bill Jr., he was a daredevil, just like his old man. He was leaning out saying, "Hey everybody! Look at me, look at me!" POW! He was decapitated. They found his head over by the snowcone concession. A few days after that, I open up the mail and there's a pamphlet in there, from Pueblo, Colorado. And it's addressed to Bill Jr. And it's entitled, "Do you know what the queers are doing to our soil?"
Now Stuart, if you look at the soil around any large U.S. city with a big underground homosexual population - Des Moines, Iowa, perfect example. Look at the soil around Des Moines, Stuart. You can't build on it, you can't grow anything in it. The government says it's due to poor farming. But I know what's really going on, Stuart. I know it's the queers. They're in it with the aliens. They're building landing strips for gay Martians. I swear to God.
You know what Stuart, I like you. You're not like the other people, here in the trailer park.
Thanks to the Dead Milkmen, And since you read this all the way to the end, I should mention I am pro-kerry. It's over folks, they won this round.
I as just about to slay the zombie corpse on level ten when I had to stop and replace the battery for my brain juicer. And I thought gameboys where lame.
Windows dirty little secret is to stick a bunch of stuff with the registry keys encoded with rot13, often just backup info but more likely the stuff that trips you up will be in those files. These files are at the end of the registry file. Uninstallers never get rid of it, they're not supposed to. This keeps you from reinstalling programs with expiration dates. Unless you kill off these files you can never install that 30 day trial again. There is a nice program called Editpad, goggle for it. It can convert to Rot13 any text.
Unintentally the Monty Python troop is to blame for the name. I can't see Hormel holding them responsible but we need to come up with a pithy new name for UBMs. If nothing else we as the techs that started it. Meaning the collective target audience of Slashdot should help with the reclaiming of the name. I propose BMs. Anyone else got a good name that can be printed in the public press?
Also it's ok to be on the front lines and still be delegating to the suits the details of running the company. Put a sign on your door that says 'Unless it's a fire, go away.' Your fellow Beards will enter at will, and the drones will look at you like you were made of solid gold. That's called the Merlin Ploy. The nice thing about this is you can actually devote full time to your hacking. Have fun.
I have had a sting of lame business partners. They are all hot for my ideas and when it comes to real work they sort of drift off like disinterested craigslist dates. Ambitious won't cut it. They are like horny dates, hot for what you got but gone in the morning. You are gonna need college grads with about three or four years of actual experiance as middle-upper management. The Startup model has always been a Beard and several Suits. This works, you need more then one Suit. Some of the warning signs are the suit is sort of hip. You want bland bland bland. Anal Cost accountants are best. Hip business people are dangerous because they are constantly on the make. You need to know some of the signs for lameness.
'I am behind this 100%'
= 'Show me this will work right now or I am gone Monday.'
'I don't see any problems here'
= 'I am too distracted by my next project to concentrate on this one'
Once you have found your Suits you need to start playing the part Bush has been playing the last four years. [I don't like the guy and hope he's gone soon, but he is playing the role well.] You will need to steamroller everybody. Any sign of weakness and they will all bail at once. Only two things kill a startup, Monsterously bad judgement or indecision. Hear that before? You should it's been the theme of the opposing politcal parties. Bad Judgement has been sticking on Bush because it's true. The indecision ploy hasn't been working because Kerry isn't confused. Carter was a prime example and to a lesser extent Gore. Nixon was a good example of the Bad Judgement side.
You will need to start living the Prima Donna lifestyle. This is Human nature, you must act like a Midevel Japanese Warlord at all times. The rest I am keeping quiet. Good Luck.

Little Tony was sitting on a park bench munching on one candy bar after another.
After the 6th candy bar, a man on the bench across from him said, "Son, you know eating all that candy isn't good for you. It will give you acne, rot your teeth, and make you fat."
Little Tony replied, "My grandfather lived to be 107 years old." The man asked, "Did your grandfather eat 6 candy bars at a time?"
Little Tony answered, "No, he minded his own fucking business."
Exactly how long should a box sit gathering dust unopened to magicly become used? If I take of the plastic it's new. You can go to at least one store in your city and find a unopened as in NEW NEVER USED PLASTIC SEALED, NOT RESOLD BY FRY'S ELECTRONICS - New p2 motherboard. I was clear, your smoking something.
Exactly, computing power isn't the issue. The assumption made here by all these systems tweakers is that they need the latest biggest brightest gear. My folks are using one of my old p3 700mhz and it's almost too powerful for them. As a fileserver or a simple webserver it's enough even for a company. I know of several corps that are using Sun IPC systems as DNS boxes. Sound unfarmilar? go look it up on google.

I have known of the Aurora Linux a redhat based distro for the Ultrasparc since at least 2001. Can a Distro maker go to all that work and still be so in the dark as to not at least do a google search for the name first. It would be one thing to have a app called that but a whole distro? Expect a name change once their servers are un-slashdotted and they get a clue.
And no I am not raining on their parade. The quality of the distro is unknown to me. I wish them the best of luck.
Many years ago this was a thriving, happy planet - people, cities, shops, a normal world. Except that on the high streets of these cities there were slightly more spam shops than one might have thought necessary. And slowly, insidiously, the number of the spam shops were increasing. It's a well-known economic phenomenon but tragic to see it in operation, for the more spam shops there were, the more spams they had to make and the worse and more unwearable they became. And the worse they were to wear, the more people had to buy to keep themselves shod, and the more the shops proliferated, until the whole economy of the place passed what I believe is termed the spam Event Horizon, and it became no longer economically possible to build anything other than spam shops. Result - collapse, ruin and famine. Most of the population died out. Those few who had the right kind of genetic instability mutated into birds who cursed their feet, cursed the ground and vowed that no one should walk on it again.
Simple replace, but the sad thing is it makes some sense this way.
We have yet to rid violence from this planet, either by persuasive arguements or main force. Video games are no where near has violent as your back yard is for the insects that live there.
Also, the studies that I saw that looked at "malicious cross-over voting" (Democrats voting for the kookiest Republican, so that the Republican would be sure to lose in the general election) concluded that when that happened, it was far out-weighed by voters crossing over to vote for what they thought was the opposite, the more centrist, least-objectionable candidate. (Which I think was the real problem that the national parties had with the blanket primaries--it tended to produce candidates who were less beholden to the party, and less partisan.)
I also am a WA resident, and the party ballot here is clueless. There isn't anything to stop crossover ballots in that primary. In fact it only helped. In the past we got rid of loons like Pam Roach with it. But in the end yes, it's a not useable by one side alone. No primaries would be a better idea. let them all on the ballot. Would be fun.
So if you are going on trial you now need to get a good powerpoint guru as well as a good lawyer. Defense should go for distance and agony. Sitting thru a really long Powerpoint demo is enough to say;
"Fine screw it, I don't care if he did kill all those people I will go with Innocent just to make it stop."
the big question is, why should it be complicated? sure there are mountains, seas, bodys of water, sand , and wetlands. That areas of the state are empty or unusable doesn't mean it's not part of the state. Every district has these sorts of areas. They are still in a district. It's not a size issue, it's shape. Here in Washington we can fit whole mountain ranges, Volcanos and all in a rectangle. So what if the population of that area is dominated by hermits and Hot Steam party. It's still a district. Cram enough people in it and you got a regulation census approved distict. Likely they will have more in common politically then with costal fisherfolk. Also a nice rectangle. Denser population areas get smaller areas but that's normal even without this idea. A district has X people not Y area.
