I found out I was colorblind when i joined the Marine Corps, until then, I had NO idea I had a problem. when I took the dot tests and the falant tests, i failed utterly. One side effect was that i saw through camouflage better, sorta like what you are saying here with your father, but it works because we don't get the same break up of the shapes that camouflage tries to accomplish.
I have what they call "yellow/green" colorblindness.
It was odd in my case because it is very rare in blacks, and i'm a black male.
Any bank that practices fractional banking is scamming you.
But you'd have to actually learn something to understand it. I suggest you do that. Do you think inflation is some mysterious force? Inflation is a tax like any other. The lost buying power of your dollar year after year is not magic.
Maybe I'm an insensitive clod but "Pattern Recognition" and "All of Tomorrowies Parties" didn't do much for me. I'm still in love with his ground breaking early work but I don't think he's kept up as a truly continuous quality-giving writer.
Here is an explaination of the what I was talking about using the OFFICIAL WEBSITES OF THE FED AND THE TREASURY FOR INFORMATION Privates Murphy and Blackguy go to the bank.... Let's remove the basic fraud creating section of the deficit of the united states being monetized. Let's start with a very simple illustration and allow me to try and pique your interests. Pretend I start the 782 Gear Savings and Loan, hereby known as Deuce Bank
I open my doors, and lo and behold here comes a customer, PFC. Murphy ready to deposit 1000 dollars(or pebbles or beer cans or whatever, this is totally arbitrary)
I take his dollars and give him a receipt for 1000 dollars The books are as follows: Deuce Bank: Assets: 1000 Liabilities: 1000 Pvt. Murphy's account shows: 1000 The books are balanced because the Bank has a liability of 1000 dollars, Murphy's receipt/bankbook and an asset of 1000 dollars, Murphy's money.
Pvt Murphy tells his friend, the black dude from the comic and he comes to deposit his money and also deposits 1000 dollars into Deuce Bank.
the books are now: Deuce Bank: Assets: 2000 Liabilities: 2000 Pvt Murphy's Account: 1000 Pvt Blackguy's Account: 1000 Books are balanced.
This is where the scam begins. The bank decides, hmmm, it takes a long time to wait a whole year(or whatever billing period) to charge these guys for holding there money. Say a 50 dollar fee per year. You've experinced this if your accounts were below the fee cut off.
So, since this is a SAVINGS and LOAN, the bank decides to embark on the other half of the name and start loaning money.
There is a rule saying banks MUST kept 10percent of all assets liquid in the bank. Keep this in Mind. http://www.federalreserve.gov/monetarypolic y/reser vereq.htm
So at current the bank has 2000 in assets. If it follows the rule, it can loan out 1800 dollars, keeping 200 bucks in house in case murphy or blackguy want to draw some out of their account and take their girlfriends out to eat.
Soon, a crusty SNCO comes in and wants to get a loan so he can buy a gas powered calculated to keep track of the amount of pushups Murphy and Blackguy owe him and the other ncos. The bank officer looks over the SNCOs finances and decides he's a good candidate for a loan and viola, the loan is granted(we'll leave out interest to keep the math simple, it reall won't matter as you'll see)
So let's take a look at the books
Deuce Bank: Assets 200 Liabilities: 2000
Pvt Murphy: 1000 Pvt: Blackguy 1000 SNCO: 800 asset(the borrow money) Liabilities: 800(he has to pay it back)
Hmm. Something odd has happened. Murphy, Blackhguy and SNCO all have 1000 dollars (on record) to spend. Yet, nowhere was another 1000 dollars deposited to account for all 2800 dollars The Bank still owes Murphy and Blackguy their 1000 dollars respectively, but only has 200 dollars in assets after loaning SNCO 800.
Next day, SNCO buys the gas powered calculator and now remembers every pushup, mountain climber and 8-count bodybuilder that Murphy and Blackguy owe. After a long day of PT and IADs, the pair decide to go get some beers. Before heading to the bar, they stop by the bank to withdraw some cash. Murphy goes first, withdraws 150 dollars. Let's look at the books:
Deuce Bank: Assets 50 Liabilities: 1850
Pvt Murphy: 850 Pvt: Blackguy 1000 SNCO: 800 asset(the borrow money) Liabilities: 800(he has to pay it back)
Murph has his money and now Blackguy steps up to the tellar and asks to also withdraw 150 dollars. Ut ohes. The bank doesn't HAVE 150 dollars to give Blackguy.
What happened here? Basically the bank loaned out most of the privates money hoping they would never take out more at one time than the 10% reserve they keep.
The situation we have illustrated is a microcosm of what is known as a BANK RUN.

I see plenty of coverage about Palestinians dying from Israeli attacks.
Please PLEASE don't go there with that "The news media only shows israeli's pain!" type rhetoric.
Everbody tries to say the media only shows the opposing side. I see both sides, especially if it's scandal. If I can see it, how come you(and your ilk) cannot?
Shouldn't all you guys who talked about getting the LAST release already have slack and just need to upgrade?
It seems every release the same people claim to be downloading the iso. Shouldn't you guys already have 9.0 and just need to upgrade to 9.1??
I know this is a troll but I've always wondered how every release, the same people rush to say they are dling yet they said that the last week. I just simply upgrade freebsd when a new version comes out, I don't have to download the whole iso.
You have it backwards friends. It's not a crazy scheme it's a STANDARD and LOGICAL scheme.
Programs installed to certain restrictive locations so you KNOW without trying to guess, where certain binaries go, where config files go and so on.
It's a standardization and it works very well YOu just aren't used to it.
IF you aren't installl from a system package you can put whatever you want, wherever you want, but to keep things orderly you should follow the scheme
windows does the same things actually when you use installshield or msi, some files go to program files/program name, some go to/windows some go to a temp dir for settings, some entries go into the registry etc.
I think the standard unix method is much tidyer overall, but it may be a bit confusing at first to those who are migrating.
"BSD licensed (YES BSD in this case - actual real money needs to be made selling it)."
Hi, I've been seeing this quite a few times here on Slashdot.
The BSD license is LESS restrctive than the GPL, not more so. You can use the BSD licensed code in commercial products to sell them, unlike GPL.
Now I'm not sure if you meant use bsd licensed CODE or did you mean license the game with the BSd license ?
I think you meant the latter. So as far as price, that would still make it an open source project, it'd just be even MORE so.
Maybe I didn't catch your meaning.
but I'd like to make sure peolpe understand the BSd license is a lot less restrictive than the gpl, so if you DONT want people copying your code, don't use that one or you'll be in for a little surprise.
one of the first words in the headline is "flamewar"
people shouldn't go into the article thiking it;s the after math of some heated flamming.
Because it's not.

It's reality.
Start at the Federal Reserve. Examine why fractional reserve banking is a scam and follow from there.
You'd be surprised what reality really is.

i perfer Arch myself.
Sounds like bad programming instead of a problem with PHP itself.
Did you ever consider that as a possibility?
Which matters not at all.
I can name my php scripts goat.farm if I so desire.
The parser will prase any extension you tell it to.
I see plenty of coverage about Palestinians dying from Israeli attacks.
Please PLEASE don't go there with that "The news media only shows israeli's pain!" type rhetoric.
Everbody tries to say the media only shows the opposing side. I see both sides, especially if it's scandal. If I can see it, how come you(and your ilk) cannot?
So please drop that crap.
...or i shall be very very upset.
Hopefully if it's not at the end they will apologize for our inconvience.

You mean this one?
...as I've encounted a few script problems with the last few perl incarnations. Could have been the libraries however.
But I have an honest confession.
Python has become my scripting language of choice over the last 2 years.
Does that mean I have a problem?
TO put things in perspective, I was an 0311 for 4 years so maybe that's why I have these recurring nightmares of perl necklaces and pythons tcling me.
Shouldn't all you guys who talked about getting the LAST release already have slack and just need to upgrade?
It seems every release the same people claim to be downloading the iso. Shouldn't you guys already have 9.0 and just need to upgrade to 9.1??
I know this is a troll but I've always wondered how every release, the same people rush to say they are dling yet they said that the last week. I just simply upgrade freebsd when a new version comes out, I don't have to download the whole iso.
Anyway, flame on I suppose.
Very nice

UP the irons to you bro thanks for the good work even tho I use freebsd I appreciate your efforts to put out a nice bohemian distru
You mean besides the fact you can:
Download and use apt-get
Download and use Rpm
Download the sources of the most bleeding edge
Chances are the latest and greatest is going to be SOURCE anyway, not a package.
CVS is always available.
Please learn. Don't give people the wrong about slack.

There is no flamewar. There is no "war".

THis whole fued thing has been overhyped by "news" sites since gnome was created and it's quite silly.
