Memoryhole is weak. The vast majority of stuff on there is stuff that's not "covered up" or is just plain not accurate at all. He also likes to deceive by providing tons of documents that will draw one conclusion, but omit documents counter to that conclusion. There is some good stuff there, but frankly, the operator is a biased crank. I'd say 30% of it isn't remotely "suppressed" information at all, but just serves as a clearinghouse for public documents that support his opinions on current events.
I think the real lesson isn't that we need to manage nature but that we need to exist within it and let nature lead us rather than vise versa.
Simply put, people find it unacceptable when a forest fire goes out of control and burns thousands of houses, or when a cougar kills their daughter playing in the backyard. People aren't going away, and there are fundamental conflicts of interest that prevent man and nature from living together in perfect harmony. Perfect harmony in nature is the kind of life that the Calvinists called "short, brutish and cruel", and people will not stand for it.
You are absolutely, totally, 100% correct that Mankind's actions are the source of the forest's problems, but the best ATTAINABLE good is forest management.
By the way, fires are LESS common now, which is why these forests get so dense to begin with. The fault lies with both pseudo-environmentalists who oppose controlled burning for some reason, and logging companies, whose proposals for "forest thinning" certainly prevents fires as advertized, but sentences forests to a slow, unnatural death.
A lot of these people base their argument on how you define "income". They claim that working for money is defined as "compensation" under the law, and things like dividends/savings interest or profit from a business are income. By that definition, most individuals do not make as much "income" as the government says they do.
They make some legal arguments that are pretty convincing if you haven't fully researched their claims. I never have, so I cannot say if it has any legitimacy.
making someone stop as an inconvenience is positive reinforcement. Sending them to bed without supper is negative reinforcement. It's based on application or witholding.
It's not about platform availability, its about game availability. Most 3D games on PC are directx only, or prefer it. So out of the 90 percent PC market, say 100% use directx, and 60-80% use OpenGL.
By the time you figure in that most games come out on the PC and most games use only directx, DirectX does come out on top. It's an unfortunate fact that the PC gaming induxstry can completely ignore non-wintel platforms entirely and still be successful.
A religious movie comes out where the producer makes up scenes that inspire bigotry
I haven't seen any bigotry yet, relating to this movie. On the other hand, Europe has had a spike in
antisemitism for some reason, you might talk to them.
and the movie is about two hours of nothing about a man being beaten to a pulp.
No, it is about more than that. Furthermore, it does not glorify violence, it demonstrates
how terrible it is, in stark contrast to violence on television.
CVS[sic] airs the superbowl, refuses to take a commercial asking people to vote
for someone other then bush, but they gladly take pro bush commercials. No one complains.......
I assume you are talking about moveon.org's commercial. All the networks have a policy against
provacative issue ads, which by moveon.org's own admission, their commercial was. They won't
air any ads for the NRA either. anti-drug ads are public service, and are only
controversial to imbeciles.
hardly The majority of the 6 plus billion people on this planet have breasts and those
who don't have seen them. A woman's nipple is exposed on television and the earth in the
United States is shaken!
You have a point there. I can guarantee you however that out of the 6 billion
people with televisions, the majority of them don't want to see Janet Jackson's breast.
"Has anyone out there just had the urge to build Gimp 2.0 on Windows instead of using an installer made by a third party, hosted on a free web hosting service?
400 Mhz, actually. As a matter of coincidence, I posted this comment regarding why despite barely being able to afford an eMac, I will not be upgrading to one.
Basically, I can't quite afford a Power Mac, and to me the lack of extensibility devalues the 700 dollar eMac to below a 500 dollar Dell. I still won't be buying a Dell because I've fallen in love with OS X:-)
I have a home network running Linux, OpenBSD and OS X, but there are still a few applications one Windows I would like to run. I have eaten up WAY too much of my life attempting to configure working Bochs/WINE configurations, and had just made the decision to set up a headless Windows box for this task.
Is there anything that lets you export MSWindows windows rootless to a different machine like Remote X?
In case anyone's interested, the number one reason is DC++ P2P App, for which there is not a suitable replacement in *nux, for both usability and political reasons.
The eMac is an upgrade dead-end. That's the number-one reason I haven't bought a macintosh to replace my G3-400. I simply cannot afford a power mac at this time, so the mac is out.
On the other hand, if I wanted to go that route, I could buy that Dell, and over time upgrade some parts here and there. Two years later, I could have spent less than the 200 dollars extra the eMac cost and upgraded my machine to a state that's now BETTER than the eMac.
So basically, if you use your computer for basic tasks, the 200 dollar cheaper machine is a better value. If you are concerned about upgradability, you may as well get the Dell, since it will pay off in the next two years you own the machine, during which of course, the eMac owner will not have replaced it.
In my mind, the eMac is overpriced to compete directly with low end dells, and is underextensible to compete with a comparably priced PC, so it kind of defies characterization as a "midrange" when people say that there are no "low-end" Macintoshes.
There's an entire market of users out there that Apple isn't even courting, and its the people who tinker, which consist of a significant portion of PC (Windows AND Linux) users. They can buy a machine cheaper, and over time cobble their way up or past the performance of a basically non-upgradable eMac that they couldn't afford at the time.
Please don't interpret this as an anti-Apple troll. Happy B&W G3 user here.
If people hold on to their Macs longer, AND Apple is a hardware company, doesn't this make the lower market share actually valid? People aren't buying as many machines, which is ultimately how Apple makes its money.
If people are mixing up install base with market share, then they are making a mistake, based on your explanation. But as far as Apple is concerned, does the consistent user base matter as much as the fact that Dell users purchase a new PC 2-3x times as often as Apple users? Doesn't that make Dell more valuable? I mean, Dell IS selling more computers.
That's the most fucking ignorant interpretation of international politics I have ever read, and I am ashamed to share the same species with the people who modded this crap up.
Let me guess? When Bush was calling Iran/Iraq/NKorea the "axis of evil", you were one of the people who called it simplistic black and white politics? Even the WORST evaluation of the situation we all know you are referring to isn't even close to "Hey, you have a towel on your head. Eat lead." Thanks guys, for helping reduce the credibility of opponents of this mess.
If anybody is throwing shit like an ape rather than intelligent discourse, it's you.
I can document the exact moment of my musical maturity. It was when I suddenly became aware, listening to an oldies station and hating what was playing, that there's nothing special about it. it was just popular music from the 50's0-60's. Maybe that's obvious to some people, but I was a late bloomer to music appreciation. The vast majority of it is crud, just like now.
Yet, people have elevated "oldies" to a freaking GENRE, like it is somehow better, that the music from this period will be remembered now and forever for its artistic integrity. I suspect that as the older generation dies and the current one ages, the same fucking shit that gets played in heavy repitition right now will be living on in brand-new format "oldies" stations.
I guess my point is, if people 60 years old right now haven't figured out that pop music from their era was mostly crap, the current generation is probably going to do the same thing.
This is how I view it. Is the (mostly) shit that gets played on oldies stations right now the majority of music that got played on the radio in its own era? There's certainly a lot of good stuff from that time period, but a lot of the "pop" stuff isn't any better than shit today.
It isn't about the source code. It's about verifiable #%^#@$^ elections! The source code is ONE component of this. It is NOT enough, and it was NEVER enough.
Um, you don't just create investigators out of thin air. Either they have to be moved from other areas (fraud, organized crime, terrorism, x-files, etc.) to pr0n, or you have to hire new agents. Which costs money (affecting other investigations).
Exactly. If you put every single law enforcement agent on terrorism, no one would be minding the shop when it comes to other crime. That's why its ridiculous to claim that focusing on other crime is "detracting from the search for Osama bin Laden." Their jobs consist of more than that.
Or alternately we are offended by crass commercial exploitation of sexuality. The stunt was offensive and ridiculous. I can handle mature representations of sexuality on television, but that shit is just stupid. Don't assume the two groups are the same.
The most significant influence on the performance difference between my ex-police force Crown Victoria and the one my grandfather drives is the chip that's installed. They both have V-8s, they both have suitable transmissions, and with the appropriate tires and a new chip, my grandfather's car would perform similarly to mine.
Non-fleet cars of this model are intentionally performance-inhibited, while the fleet models take full advantage of the engine. There are performance chips that accomplish the same thing without damaging the car, because the car was actually designed to handle it.
The government can garnish your wages because underpayment is a civil offense. Self incrimination doesn't apply if they decide to charge you for underpayment, you have to prove your innocence, not vice versa. If they want to prove criminal intent, they'd have to prove that, but they don't have to prove you owe the money.
I guess this has been softened somewhat in the case of the IRS, but I don't know how this would apply at the state level.
I'm pretty sure you couldn't plead the fifth in a civil court if you were brought up on tax fraud charges. In any case, the burden of proof is on you, so shutting up would be counterproductive. Or is this specific to your state?
Of course its easier to live when you have money. that's obvious. On the other hand, if you don't tax a category of products that are considered "necessities of life", or for certain large purchases such as a house done on a progressive sales tax scale, then a sales tax is simply an incentive to live within one's means.
I'm not totally convinced that the sales tax is the way to go though. In some cases, wealthy people can get around this, such as buying their yacht in a different country and sailing it in, which apparenly happened one time when luxury taxes were increased.

It's called bartering. Contrary to popular belief, it's taxed.
As for foreign trade, why wouldn't you have to pay duties or whatever? You would in real life.
Add me to that list. Java runs noticably slower on my OS X Mac than on either Linux or Windows.
He's right that the aqua look and feel is pretty impressive though.
Sadly, DCGUI-QT is also considered a "modded client" by many hubs, and is banned outright, but right now it the best we have, unfortunately.
Nope. No. Nuh-uh.
