  3. There's a website I came across last year... on US To Employ Overhead Spying Domestically · · Score: 4, Funny
    ...that vowed to track abuses of power, defend privacy rights and freedoms, fight fascism, defend the constitution.

    It was based in the south, covered with the flags of the USA and the CSA, and railed against Clinton for the filegate thing, Waco, etc.

    Odd thing was, it hasn't been updated since around 2000, the forums have gone strangely silent. Not a peep about Bush.

    I think perhaps these brave defenders of freedom are so outraged by Bush, so aware of constitutional issues that they say the threat more clearly than others, and that they have decided to take their movement underground, make it more clandestine.

    Yeah, that's probably it.

    the current administration loves abuses of power The current administration. As if the exponential growth of the US federal government over the past century, in both revenue and power over the people, and the steady consolidation of power into the hands of the few -- everything which makes abuse of power readily possible -- can be attributed to the current administration? Previous administrations were always pushing the envelope, stretching things further and further, with occasional steps outside. The current administration took a Zippo to the envelope, said "fuck you and your stupid envelope," and called us terrorist sympathizers, traitors, and actual terrorists if we complained.

    Another way the whole "substance abuse" thing is bullshit is in the way it stigmatized addicts. See, it's not a problem, a health issue - no, they are just being irresponsibe.

    They're abusing that cocaine. If they would just be responsible and use it PROPERLY, well then, there'd be no problem.

    We need to teach drug abusers how to use their drugs correctly!

    Oh, its mundane... I had the drive outside the comp., sitting on a high table, not in an enclosure, just hooked up with an IDE cable to grab some stuff off of it. Tripped over the cable which acted like a whip, drive shot off the end of it.

    Got about 74% of the data off of it afterward.

    I've gone through many over the years, replacing them as they became too small - still using some small ones many years old for minor tasks, etc. and he only drive I've ever had partially fail is the one I accidentally launched across a room.

    I don't understand how people are always complaining about their hard drives failing. In 30 years it hasn't happened to me yet.

    I'm about to lug a huge Wang hard drive out to the trash pickup on Monday - weighs over 100 pounds... still runs. Actually it uses removable platters but still...

    First, America is going through a recession because of our debt, combined with our realizing that we have overspent. OTH, Europe, japan, canada, etc are all picking up speed while the dollar continues to plummet due to our federal and trade deficits. Hopefully, the next president will be responsible.

    Don't worry, the Republicans are certain to make sure we hold the next president responsible.

    Actually, a couple of them have become successful sites in the hands of their current owners.

    I only managed to sell one, though, for $2500.
    Still came out ahead, but I'm not rich.
