What?
Thats not like CNN to ignore a story that is detrimental to the US government.
How dare you talk about the mainstream media like that. CNN are impartial. They give us the news we need to hear. Full and rounded coverage of every issue.
That IS what current affairs is isn't it?... Fact based impartial news stories?
Take the Waco incident for example. CNN told us about the FBI and ATF using tear gas to flush out the bad guys without using un-nessessary force.... Those photos on public access of Bradley tanks shooting fire into the compound are fake. And you'd be a fool, and a communist to believe them.
Yeah, but that war on drugs was lost from the outset.
I mean, when channels were following "Don't do drugs" commercials with "This bud's for you" (beer) commercials, I dunno:)
For a country to say a substance which grows everywhere, has a thousand uses, all of them positive, but CAN be used to tune out of reality is an evil drug... yet ALCOHOL, a substance known to make people's judgement impared and provoke violent and arguementitive behaviour is good; really doesn't reflect well on the ability of their leaders.
Simply because he supports it doesn't mean he did it.
Take this for example:
I support marrage.
People who are in long term relationships have marrage coming.
I think more marrage should happen.
Does that mean I'm married?
Another example:
I support the killing of cats.
I `recon cats have it coming when they kill birds.
I recon' more killing of cats should happen.
Does that mean I've killed cats?
Did I just admit I kiled cats?
... Mr Bin Laden said the day after the attacks happened, that he DID NOT DO IT, but america had it coming, and he supports anyone who does it. I don't think he's changed his party line.
... Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying Bin Laden DIDN'T do it. (you get moderated down as flamebait for doing that)... I'm just saying he hasn't admitted to the act.
I have a very simple question, and I believe the American public needs to ask their leaders to address it for them to be in ANY WAY justified in their retalliation toward the 'terrorists'
My question:
The act committed on America on the 11th of September was not an irrational one. It was carefully planned and executed.
What would drive a group of people to pay the ULTIMATE PRICE (their life) to punish America for something?
What has America done to provoke this response? AND
What is America doing to prevent *themselves* from provoking such a response in the future?
The good news is that there will still be israelis lest when all the palestenians are dead.
SLASHDOT makes me sick.
</I>
Here Here!
Sometimes I feel that sentance would sound nicer with the word "palestenians" replaced with "Americans"...
But then I have to remind myself what any civilized person would: This small percentage of uneducated, vocal tribals do NOT speak on behalf of the whole race.
Bill Hicks was an American commedian in the early 90s. He was the inspiration for Tool's record, Eulogy.
Get on Morpheus and listen to what he had to say about the pursian golf war... So much of it relates it's not funny.
Bill Hicks - Come back shane (From his Brighton album) (Also known as "Bullies of the world") (about America arming the world then going over to killt them)
Bill Hicks - The War (from his Relentless album) (about "The Persian Gulf Distraction")
Bill Hicks - Waco (from Rant in E minor) (about the reliability of US news sources)
Isn't it that sort of 'patriatism' that got us into this mess in the first place?
"Americans shoulse support their country"
I disagree, Americans should THINK FOR THEMSELVES and support their country when it makes intelligent decisions.
A country should act on behalf of it's citizins. Not DICTATE what they should think.... If your governement tells you what to think, what exactly were you fighting china for?
[Bill Hicks]:
I'm so sick of arming the world, then sending troops over to destroy the fucking arms, you know what I mean? We keep arming these little countries, then we go and blow the shit out of them. We're like the bullies of the world, y'know. We're like Jack Palance in the movie Shane, throwing the pistol at the sheepherder's feet.
"Pick it up."
"I don't wanna pick it up, Mister, you'll shoot me."
"Pick up the gun."
"Mister, I don't want no trouble. I just came downtown here to get some hardrock candy for my kids, some gingham for my wife. I don't even know what gingham is, but she goes through about ten rolls a week of that stuff. I ain't looking for no trouble, Mister."
"Pick up the gun."
(He picks it up. Three shots ring out)
"You all saw him - he had a gun."
If this company targets the RIAA for copyright, the world would be a better place.
I for one would vote the CEOs of this company into congress if they could stick a copyright lawsuit againts the RIAA for making so many phone calls to their lawyers.
I cannot think of a definition of the ANTICOMPEDITIVE LAWS that that does not break.
You know, that one that Microsoft found themselves in court for... I'm sure it rings a bell here.
The RIAA seem to believe they are above the law.
I am really sickened by that sort of behaviour.
"Hmm... We're not making any money anymore."
"Yes, look at this, everyone's using our compeditor"
"Oh. Shit. Ummm... File a lawsuit. Get that compeditor shut down."
"Lawers, Translate this into legal talk: We need to shut down all our compeditors, so we can have our monopoly back, so we can make more money"
Before the RIAA sued napster, nobody in the general public had ever heard of Mp3s or sharing.
During the 2 odd years they took to tie napster into a legally binding state of disrepair, the Napster network grew almost 10 fold in size.
Finally, when it died, everyone just migrated to gnutella for a month or two, before they realised it was S*it slow, and moved onto MusicCity....
Now the process seems to be repeating. All MusicCity has to do is move it's entire advertising budget into it's legal department, and wait until every person on the street starts associating them with "Music sharing".
You'd think the RIAA would've learnt from before, and be looking at ways to work WITH the community.
Computer Software has been pirated since day 1, yet Bill Gates, chairman of a company which makes Computer Software is the richest person in the world. I would say this is some pretty compelling evidence indicating that people pirating your music/software isn't nessessarily a bad thing.
On the flipside, the powers that be have done a pretty good job strangling the DVD market here in Australia. We are charged royalties on BLANK DVD-Roms.
Indicitive costs of DVDs in AU:
One blank DVD: $30
Die Hard on DVD: $35
Why would you pirate? (Thank god for DivX)
Have you made it your new found mission to post on EVERY topic on slashdot that we shouldn't be doing anything because a heap of american's died?
You *DO* realise that we are facing a world wide recession right now because lots of Americans have stopped spending money because of this 'tragedy'?
This is the second post I've seen from you demanding that we stop discussing trivial things like our freedom to live, and "Get some priorities". I put this question before you, because you *REALLY* haven't answered it.
WHAT *SHOULD* we be doing in your book?
On the behalf of the slashdot community, I hereby request that you leave us alone to excersize our human right to PRIORITIZE OUR LIFE AS WE SEE FIT, and if you are so concerned about the welfare of the bodies and soles of the 6000+ americans who died, send some money over to those dieing in IRAQ and IRAN because they can no longer buy food since america has ceased trade with them.
I mean, we are one people aren't we? It shouldn't matter where we live, or what nationality we are? Does an innocent iraquian have any LESS right to be alive than your fellow americans?
My problem with virus scanners isn't so much the theory, rather the idea that the payload of a virus checker is greater than the payload of most viruses.
Virus checkers of today:
- Sit in your system tray, consuming 4MB of ram to keep you notified of the fact they're running.
- Intercept all file IO to ensure no viruses are written to disk.
- Pop up an alert users every time a suspect file is found, and usually prompt for an action.
- in Win9x systems, add 30 seconds to boot time to ensure that between the time the virus checker was stopped during a windows shutdown, and the time the commandline scan was run no viruses were added to your system.
Payload of most viruses:
- Intercept file IO
- Email themselves out to propegate
The new installs of Mcafee don't give you the option any more of just installing the command line client. And 'netshield' for servers happily sits there on your file server and adds another layer to your file IO.
Really it's not like wearing a condom, its more like staying 3 feet away from everyone of the opposite sex all your life because it 'minimises the risk of viral propigation'
It's absolute overkill spawned by market hype and paranoia.
There are *STILL* no viruses out that propigate without USER INTERVENTION.
Which means, if you do get a virus, YOU'VE FUCKED UP.
Installing virus checkers is like installing crumple zones on the bottom of PAN-AM aeroplanes so they are less likely to kill people in the event of a crash... the question shouldn't be "What can we do to make these aeroplanes better in a crash" It should be "Why the fuck do our aeroplanes keep falling out of the sky?"
The *ONLY* virus checking I have on the servers at work is a scheduled file based scan once a week.... and thats only because I don't trust the other sysadmin.
I have no virus checkers on my workstation, and I doubt I ever will. Any *nix IRC user will know the phrase "Do not IRC as ROOT"... because you can't get into lots of channels / networks if you try. Same shit applies for windows. If people didn't check their email, browse the web, and mindlessly open.exe files as ADMINISTRATOR, there wouldn't BE a virus problem.
Well, it probably would, because companies like VET and McAfee would then employ people to write better viruses, like the nimda virus, that exploits applications.
Who? me? Accuse virus scanner companies of employing people to make viruses thus increasing their profits? NEVER! They wouldn't do that. Thats immoral.
To keep viruses from spreading, you may implement a policy whereby it is mandatory to have an anti-virus program installed and running at all times. Most people will be smart enough to have an anti-virus program running anyways. If you do implement such a policy, remember to make this policy known to your guests before the LAN party starts.
What the F*ck sort of people is this guy expecting to have at this lan party?
Why not implement a policy that people must bring their BRAINS to the party, and not run "infect.doc.exe" unless they really want what it brings.
File shares... Hmmm, don't set write access and you're safe... Don't set read access and people won't rip off your pr0n. It's pretty simple last I looked.
Virus checkers are for (l)users. Any hardcore GAMER who can pick up a virus unknowingly deserves it.
My experiance from lan parties is you're at greatest risk of viruses when your asleep, because one of your mates will take your HDD out of your box, put it in theirs, replace your explorer.exe with backorrifice.exe and return it. (Yes, we do it. It's punishment for sleeping at a lan party. You're here to play games. Not to sleep.)
Except for that whole female holly thing... and that wierd season 8 with the crew back alive?
:)
Nah, I love the dwarfers.... Except they didn't truely explain why lister can't concevably spend the rest of his life in the 'better than life' total imersion video game.
Channel 9 have always treated us sci-fi lovers well.
I tuned in keenly at 10pm for my series 1 bab5.
10:15pm for series2
10:30 for series3
11:00 for series4
I switched on at 11:00pm every night through season 5 so I'd be ready to watch the show at it's airing time of 'Any radom time between 11pm and 1am'
I liked the way channel 9 gave Deep Space 9 a post-modern feel by playing their series completely out of order on tuesday or thursday nights randomly between 11pm and 3am
And now, I tune in routenely at 2am every friday morning to catch my beloved series 6 Voyager.
I'm waiting for the adds (in a year or two) when they pick up enterprise:
"Tonight, or tomorrow night, We might start series 1 of the new science fiction series "Enterprise". Tune in. We'll play it at around 4am... maybe 5am, it depends on how long the important issues of the day take to spell out in NightLine so our audience understands them"
It's just part of the great service our wonderful, loving and caring government spends the revinue raised our 52% petrol tax on.
All it takes is a look at the lexx its self to see what the show's based around.
What are the main charactures in less:
- A huge organic space ship, with a long extrusion, and two 'ocular perabola' which are so powerful they can blow up planets.
Additional notes:
- The lexx talks, but has an IQ of about 3
- It is capable of sustaning life within it, 'replicating' food for the crew, so it tastes how they want it, but always comes out in an ooze, from some equilly attactive extrusion in the cabin.
- The dunny's have no paper, the lexx 'licks' you clean.
Then there's Xev (formally Zev)
- Part sex slave, so she'll fuck anything that walks... except stanley tweedle
- Part cluster lizard, so she can stand up for herself, put up with the heat... and eat flesh.
- Because she was turned into a sex slave, she is drop dead gorgeous.
Kai. A dead guy.
- Also pretty good looking.
- Dead, so he's (basically) invincable
- Is an ex-assasin, with no feelings.
Robot Head
- A head, of a robot, that is madly in love with Xev, except for season 3, when it's madly in love with Kai.
Stanley Tweedle
- A real geek. Has been a geek all his life.
- A wimp, if it wasn't for Xev, he'd be dead long ago.
-... who never gets laid.
-... but controls the Lexx, thus is the most powerful man in existance.
Right, thats a pretty good crew workup there, a great chick, a dead guy, a geek, a robot and a planet destoryer.
What do they do?... Travel around in the universe trying to get stanley tweedle laid, because he's the captain, and Xev refuses to fuck him.
I don't know what it is about lexx, but there's no shame or confusion about what it's based around.
Lexx has got to take the cake, as the most F*cked up, sex oriantated cult sci fi series out ther.
I'm serious.
Get the VCD, turn the volume right down, then play the intro to the tune of Sabrosa.
All you need is a clip from the 'decontamination' in the start and you're set.
That singing is really, really bad. I'm sorry. The rest of the show ROX. But it's a real letdown.
The makers of enterprise really should have a listen to the following, then keep the trend up:
Star Trek TOS Theme
Star Trek TNG Theme
Star Trek Voyager Theme
Star Trek DS9 Theme
Lexx Theme - start of series 1 "I am the lexx"
Babylon 5, series 3 theme.
If they're intent on having lyrics, They should refer to Red Dwarf. They had lyrics, they did it well. (IMHO)
Nah, I'm not european... (can't even spell the fuckin' place)... actually southern hemisphere.
Hell, I don't really mind if you americans want to just go out and mindlessly bomb the fuck out of some innocent people. I'm just pointing out that it'd be a rather shallow, and illogical move.
Fortunatly for the rest of the world, Bush has some good advisors by his side who are thinking "Hmm, who the fuck are we going to target" rather than "Someone has to pay. someone has to pay now"
Fer the record too, I'm not a big socialist fan either. Give me capitilism or give me death.
Slashdot Mirror
Agreed.
You're absolutly correct.

I dunno if picard COULD take out archer any day.

- A huge organic space ship, with a long extrusion, and two 'ocular perabola' which are so powerful they can blow up planets.
Additional notes:
- The lexx talks, but has an IQ of about 3
- It is capable of sustaning life within it, 'replicating' food for the crew, so it tastes how they want it, but always comes out in an ooze, from some equilly attactive extrusion in the cabin.
- The dunny's have no paper, the lexx 'licks' you clean.
