1) Authorized the sale of missile technology to China
Rocket Tech, for their space program. It's about getting them to be part of a community. Make them your neighbor, build ties, plan joint ventures, make them depend on you, they will begin to think the same about you and stop pointing guns at you if their not afraid of you. Especially if they have a lot to lose if you go away.
2) Ignored the threat of N Korea's nuclear plans (now they have the capabilities to nuke California where as they didn't 10 years ago)
Ditto for N Korea, they had just started to come out of their shell and started making overtures to S Korea about peaceful reunification.
3) Accepted contributions from Chinese nationals (see 1 above)
That was Gore, and it's rather blurry.
4) Ignored opportunities to remove Bin Laden
He was just another random nutcase, plenty of them in the world. Just he had more money. Has I recall, they pinned the first attack on WTC on Sheik Omar.
5) Completely stalled the Israeli peace plan at the end of his second term b/c he obviously wasn't going to benefit from it
Not so, Most of that started when the Israel's prime minister was assassinated not by a Palestinian but an Israeli extremist Look at the progress toward peace in Israel, they almost had it, but Bush tossed it all in a bucket well before 9-11.
6) Lied to Congress and the American people.
Much like Ollie North? show me one who hasn't. In his second term he had mad dogs like Newt Gingrich who pussied out and when home. I would have voted for him in 2000 if I could. Damn I miss Bill.
On the other side, if I have to pay Texas sales taxes on purchased from Texas, does this mean I am under Texas Justice. Great, now I have to give up my habitual Jaywalking or face the Death Penalty in a Texas Prison.
Ah, the 'Republican' solution. Seriously it's hardly his fault. P>California has a hugh stake in the tech industry, when it went down so did the rest of the Californian economy. Then there were your buddies at Enron & company. Price gouging and Mail Fraud does not an incompetent make. So who is slowing the refund and prosecution of the perpetrators? Hmmmm could it be a Texas Oil Baron turned President?

But has I remember from my days in the Valley, the MIPS group at SGI was so powerful internally and anti-X86/Microsoft that they hamstrung SGI's efforts to port their software to x86 and make some fast money off their name and bring new converts into contact with spiffy SGI software and hardware standards. SGI-x86 could have been the roadmap people took to move up to MIPS, you like it in x86, think how fast it would scream with a MIPS processor instead? The outcome of this debate would certainly have changed if SGI was still a major player.
But don't get me wrong I like SGI, I like the MIPS It was great for a lot of stuff, First class webservers come to mind first. On the SUN side, they scream with regard to IO. The MHZ issues are somewhat of a smoke and mirrors issue. UltraSparc will crunch data a heck of a lot faster then an 32bit box which is what makes them the thing for ORACLE or simply huge data stores. When was the last time you saw a x86 board that could handle 20 CPUs?
In the world of business, where are they now with those technologies? I am not speaking historicly, I am talking about the present. While x86-64 and IPF are 'just around the corner' they don't have a large amount of 64bit software resources. The free software users/developers are not the alone in their reluctance to move up. Sun as a wonderfully supported backend infrastructure, their front end sucks. The same can be said for Linux. The windows world has the opposite problem. All glitz no bang. Generally I find that the fault often lies between the keyboard and the chair.
It's a rumor, it sells shares of stock. Is it workable? No. However if they were to merge with say Cisco or HP that would be great. Both have their limitations. Sun is way the heck ahead in the 64 bit computer game, having an army of 64 bit gurus, a stable OS, and a very well respected CPU.
Some form of a Spring festival has been celebrated since the bronze age,
"
The word Easter comes from the name of Ostrae, the Anglo-Saxon goddess of the dawn. As with the Easter festival and that of Dionysus, Ostrae's feast was celebrated around the time of the Spring equinox. Although there are no myths which speak of a death and resurrection of Ostrae, her role as goddess of the Spring indicates her connection to those gods who participated in the cycle of the seasons by just such an event, namely Osiris and Dionysus. Ostrae's festival, naturally enough, involved dawn rites - an important feature in the Christian celebration of the Resurrection. Indeed, many aspects of how the death and resurrection of Christ is celebrated by Christians today have their origins in the pagan past."
"Lent, for example, began as a form of sympathetic magic. People fasted as Spring began so that more energy would be available for the growing seeds. Lent takes its name from the Old English for "lengthening", with reference to the change in daylight hours as Spring approaches. At the equinox, when there begins to be more day than night, birds start to lay their eggs. The brightly coloured eggs of forest birds were traditionally collected either in their nests or in baskets made to resemble them. In the Christian tradition the egg is used in the iconography of Easter as a symbol of death and rebirth, a symbolism which existed long before the time of Christ. For the Anglo-Saxons the egg also stood for fertility and the sun. The sun played a large role in the festival of Ostrae and was symbolically rekindled as a bonfire, also a significant part of today's Easter liturgy."

I am happy to take a nice sip of wine and enjoy the show. Seriously, I look forward to continuing this (and other debates) debate later.
Nice try, but seriously if you ever do enter the world of sales you will find that the big phrase is 'By any means nessisary' & 'All's fair in love and war'.

Correction the Easter festival is the Spring festival, like the Winter Solastic, your religion has stolen yet another cool thing. The truth is that it is about fertility. The world returns to life not some guy. I will enjoy my chocolate bunny, and think of the real patron (and far better role model) of the Season, BUGS BUNNY.
I don't use them, I use standard CD-R non-rewritables. They are cheaper and they don't require a erase action first. If I don't like the burn or I don't need it any more fine, I toss it. I'm out what $0.08 US? Even if they tax it it's not an issue, you got to pay maybe a couple of cents more.
Ok I am taking about the US but the logic will apply anywhere. I don't like it if the money is going to RIAA but are we just talking about attacking the funding sources of the RIAA and it's EU counterpart. Or are we just bitching about taxes. The causes that get discussion here sometimes astound me.
FireWire external cases, Many Many disks can hang off them. FireWire allows you to daisy chain up to 63 external devices
USB, also a usable plan.
Sadly you may need to use Windows has Solaris just isn't right and Linux has horrible Spaghetti Code for this stuff. Windows for all it's oh so many faults will let you get this up quickest.
You can't read the boot (or use the OS) without the barf bag. Maybe it's time to put mine on Ebay. Seriously I like unix, you don't need as much to run it as w2k.
