I also have a perspective on the subject because I grew up here and I live and work here now. You are correct that tobacco and coal are primary industries here and are failing, that much is true. However, if you look closely at what he's doing, he is trying to help attract high tech industries to the area by showing that we have and are continuing to get better technology all the time. This has been something that he's been working on for quite some time. If you lived in the area, you might know that if you were paying attention. You would also know that many do return to the area after college seeking work here.
While not all localities in his district do have access to broadband, many do. What he wants is high speed connections in locations that do not have them so that there will be new industries already in place when the failing ones finally go. So you fault him for trying to help the region grow by attracting high technology to the area and "move the region into the 21st century"? He's already been successful in procuring money for high technology and attracting companies to Southwest Virginia.
Most of his constituants probably don't even have computers, much less even $20/month to spend on broadband
I also live in the county in which his office is located and while not everyone does have a computer let alone broadband, many do. Yes, even grandmothers and not necessarily just in Washington County.
Oddly enough, most of the people in southwest VA are very religious, ultra-conservative Christians, who would be shocked at the way Mr. Boucher votes on the so-called "moral issues". But it's amazing what a person desperate not to lose his/her job in an area where finding another one is nearly impossible without any kind of skills or education will overlook if he/she foolishly thinks that voting for Mr. Boucher will mean 2 more years of employment. And when you can't read, or else don't read very well, it's far too easy to fall for the crafty lies of such a gifted speaker.
Sir, I think you will find natives from here and people moving to the area are not these uneducated people that you seem to think they are. I'll address your employment issues in a moment, but your argument is very weak as you present the majority of people in this region in a very bad light. One that I might add has been cast on it for a long time and quite frankly is time for it to go. As for the "moral issues" The mud slinging toward Mr. Boucher got quite heavy in the last election, but the people know that he does work hard for the region and gets results. Even the ultra conservative people of the area know a hard worker when they see one.
Now for your unemployment statements. Looking at the counties that are part of his district, very few of them have unemployment above the national average, with several below that. While this can definitely use improvement, in some cases over the last year in this district, the unemployment percentage went down -- way down from what they were. In some counties, it went up. While unemployment is a big issue, to say that the man does nothing to try and help the region grow is quite uncalled for, and it is the same tired argument. This argument typically comes from those that do not pay attention to what is going on around them. If you would like to understand what he's been doing for the region, why not take a look.
The fact is, all over the state, unemployment has risen in many counties over the last year. It is not related to just this district. You should take a look at state wide unemployment for the last 4 quarters, take a look here. You can see that it is not just in the 22 counties that he represents.

It's all just a sham to try and get people to think there is no problem with it. No one will find any abuses because there is no trail to follow. Don't believe me? Go read the laws. The PATRIOT Act touches so many little niches in the existing laws that it has many ways to be abused with little to no way to track any abuses.
Unless someone uses those records in a case, no one can ever know because the librarians or companies from which they got the info are gagged. Probable cause, you know that section in Amendment IV, went out the window with this Act because no body will ever know when anyone got any information. All they need is to play the 'terrorism' card to get access to whatever they want without needing to give out a lot of information. All in the name of 'National Security'.
Just tell me where you are going to get the information to even try to point out abuses assuming there were some. It's all just smoke and mirrors.
Just because someone decided to use the software for that purpose doesn't mean that the sole intention of the developers of the software was to pirate games. Give me a break. I've used it to play StarCraft games with a legitimately purchsed copy, so don't try and say that it was soley for pirates. I guess nobody remembers the times when the chances of getting a decent game on the actual battlenet servers was crappy at best. That is why it was written and used.
I haven't purchased or played a Blizzard game since and I own all of their titles previous to the incident. They lost a lot of repect from me that day.
No one will ever know. All that has to be reported is the number of times they have requested and the number of times it was granted.
At least before they had to have some sort of probable cause, now all they need is one word - terrorism.
It's interesting because I got a big long winded letter from one of my senators explaining why he voted to erode my rights, and that he didn't think that the act eroded constitutional rights. I guess he missed that part about probable cause in amendment IV of the Bill of Rights. Go figure.
For your information, this was Senator John Warner from Virginia.
You can run both Subversion and PHP 4 concurrently in Apache 2.0. We've been doing it sucessfully for several months now with no problems in prefork mode. No need for two versions of Apache when one will do.
Well, where to start. Firstly, I read the complete transcript of the the tape and not once did he endorse Kerry at all.
What exactly has Dubya done for us? Not a damn thing that I can see. Two wars with no clear victory. We have Afghan politics littered with accusations of drug trafficing and warlords, bin Laden escaped from Tora Bora - sure the people have the freedom to vote now, but that is not what we were there to do. We were there to get bin Laden and it was botched.
So in order to save face, the president tries to guarantee a government to Iraq that would be willing to offer cheaper oil in exchange, get Daddy's arch enemy, kick a few bucks to Cheney's old company, and everyone is happy. We lose soldier's lives, and the Iraqi people loose even more as we rampage through their country. Some of our own troops even decide to take some great pictures of themselves mistreating people (to put it lightly), yet no one seems to know about it...go figure.
Dissenssion with the war in Iraq is regarded as anti-american by the Republican party as witnessed all over their talk radios, and their prime television network Fox News.
Meanwhile things like our future envionment are ignored, North Korea gets nuclear weapons, the economy is blown to bits by massive debt, war, and coporate scandals, raping the people of this country. The world generally hates us because we act like we are better than them. The rich get richer, we get secret courts and laws that we don't know about.
No thanks, I'll pass on this joke of a president that we currently have. Terrorism has been present in the world longer than a few years, America. We are just catching up to the rest of the world. It isn't a one man show, and it's about time we acted like we are with the world rather than against everyone and acting so self-righteous like a bunch of pompus pricks.
If you are just voting for the first time, get out there and vote.

Sorry to burst your bubble, but Apache is not licensed under the GNU General Public License. Apache is licensed under the Apache Software License. Also, just because they are running Apache doesn't mean they are using GPL licensed software. I am all for free software, but this is not accurate.
No, I am no LDAP expert and I set up that system that he mentioned above. We use PAM, OpenLDAP, nscd, courier-imap, exim, courier-pop3 all on Debian stable. Read the documentation for PAM, OpenLDAP, and nscd and you will be alright. As was mentioned elsewhere in this thread, do not use courier's LDAP authentication. We did not use the courierauthdaemon to authenticate through LDAP. We use PAM instead. Pam supports other nice administrative features as well so it's a big win.
Perhaps they are not competing with themselves. I, for one, will not buy a PS2, but will likely buy Crystal Chronicles for my Gamecube. I know many average families will not have more than one game console. For the families that have either the PS2 or a Gamecube, you will have a Final Fantasy game to play on that date.
The sad thing is that tourniquets are only recommended if it's the only way to save the person's life. You can slow bleeding down enough without one to keep a person stabilized. Having these built in seems uncaring to me since the use of a tourniquet usually means that the person will lose that limb.
I completely agree. They are indeed making people who may not have otherwise come to their park, not want to come back, and definitely not want to support parks in the future.
However the point on use is true: Washington County officials said they are considering a rule forcing geocaches to move once a year, so that no pathways are worn to the sites.
If these "caches" are placed in places off the beaten trail, I can see a serious problem with destruction of habitat, erosion problems and more. Just looking at places nearby, I hope that these people are getting permission to place these items there on public property.
Leaving a place better than you found it is also something that many Boy Scout troops practice as well. However, the few troops that do not follow this idea, make the others all unwelcome to the areas that they have visited. The only way to get rid ot this stigma is to leave a place better than you found it. It is comforting to know that others have taken up this practice. Anyone going into the outdoors should practice this simple idea, or face the destruction of beautiful places by the few who leave a trail of trash wherever they go.
Forgive me if I am a bit disillusioned by the behavior of many of today's gamers while playing on the internet. While there are a few who like to play a game like this and roleplay their characters, many, it seems, are intent on "power gaming" and pumping stats.
You are correct that I have not played multiplayer, since the linux client just gained the ability to play via the internet, I have not tried it yet. I know that there are players out there that enjoy roleplaying their characters and I look forward to trying this soon.
