the final solution was finalized in 1942 at the Wanssee conference. The man who devised the plan was Reinhardt Heydrich. He was at the time #3 in the Nazi party, a fanatical hitler supporter, a deputy reichsfuhrer, and in charge of bohmeia and moravia (sudetenland). He was later killed by czech resistance members who flew in from england. he was killed by a bomb on a corner in prague. hitler responded by razing the city of lidice (http://www.lidice-memorial.cz/index_uk.htm).
as for pencil/paper accounting, yes, it can and was done. keep in mind german fanaticalness regarding order. it was possible also because most of the prisoners went into ghettos, then later, to a final camp. (sorry to be so objective and analytical). the records were kept at each place. the germans checked in and checked out everyone who came and went. it wasn't like they let them leave or anything. now, did the nazis use ibm adding machines and stuff. hell, at that time, who wasn't?
you know, the real world doesn't work like the public sector. shit, did i say "work" and "public sector" in the same sentence? anyways, in the real world, you are paid by people to work. can they make you suck toilet water through a straw while naked, and make you sing the Marseilles (which would be the worst part!!)? no. but, what if they had sensitive data? what if they had customers with urgent needs. what if lots of things. employee/employer relationships go both ways. if the work conditions are bad, get a new job. if not, STFU and work. sorry to burst anyone's bubble, but the "unionize" thing didn't work really well for the supermarket workers here in so. cal. eh?
you mean to tell me that abc, cbs, nbc, cnn, nytimes, latimes, all are not run by liberals. c'mon. take two stories. one, bush awol. dozens of stories about it, and nothing substantiates it. two, swift vets. the MSM didn't eve touch it for weeks, until the blogosphere was running wild. kerry admits he was never in cambodia and the nytimes still doesn't report it. it's not just what is reported, it's what's not. the economy is doing as well as it was when clinton was re-elected. then the economy was booming. today, it's in the tank? huh? it's called bias. there are a million other examples. why do you think conservative talk radio took off? they had no where else to go. that is the truth.
I'm an SSU grad ('91). Carl Jensen is a little paranoid and conspiratorial. Everything is black hat stuff. Problem is, he did some good things for a while, and starting reading the press clippings, then lost it. I had one class with him, and even then, he was going on and on about the media (which oddly enough is controlled by his lefty buddies) being a tool of the gov't. Like the MSM ws ever in the tank for Reagan/Bush, et al. Please. How about Evan Thomas' claim the media is for Kerry and it gives him 15 points.
glad we got a definition of overclocking. i always thought overclocking was moving my clock ahead fifteen minutes so i could get places on time. but when i figured out i had an extra fifteen minutes, i just hit snooze. then i was late again. shit. so much for overclocking.
one thing that you'll need to consider is file formats. textedit does a fair job of reading/writing.doc files, and if you really need to, OO.org or even abiword will help. you probably have lots of emails. mail.app uses mbox format, and you'll need to import them. most apps for windows have mac counterparts, but your licenses won't transfer. so, you're screwed there. you can easily connect a 2 button mouse and it "just works". i am on my second ibook, (first a G3 700, now a G4 800) both 12" variety. the only problem that i have is that you can't connect to a novell network, unless they activate the tcp/ip stuff. not really sure about novell stuff. it's just that I can't my school district's novell network. funny, 'cause my old laptop with linux could easily (ipx_configure... and ncpmount...) and i can't see why you can't compile a kernel extension for darwin based on source code. but i do perl, java, and php. not c. anyways, i have enocuntered some difficulties with windows.pdf's. don't know why.
the biggest adjustment is doing things in a mac way. for instance, things are document centric not application centric. therefore, you cmd-tab through apps, and cmd-` through documents. so, if you have word open, and you have three doucments open, cmd-` will only tab through the documents. it took a while to figure this out. now, i throw a fit when i have to use windows and i alt-tab through every freakin window. if windows designers ever figured this one out...
actually, you have a good point. so what if bill loses.2% of market share, if it saves him tons of legal hassles and allows him to enter new markets. you know, for all our (/.'ers) bashing of microsoft and their head honchos, they are some of the best businessme^H^H^Hpeople in the world. can you think of any other product, that pervasive, that had that market share. even when the vandy's controlled damn near every railroad in the US, it wasn't like every day, 200,000,000 people hopped on to a train.
they gotta figure in a few years the OS part of their empire is gonna go away. hint, hint: web services. they also gotta figure that pretty soon they'll have to end up giving it away due to linux, market pressures, decreased demand to upgrade, etc. but that doesn't mean open sourcing it, nor does it mean they're dead. and look at ti this way, here's the copier, now buy our cartidges.
look, when the next attack comes, he'll be mid 20's, arab, and answers to muhammad, achmed, or habib. oh yeah, he smell like camel dung from 7 weeks of not showering. this is a direct result of our hyper-sensitivities to damn near everything. if you're offended, get over it. i'd rather fly safely. and no, we're not harassing the shit out of innocent citizens. we're at war, like it or not. it wasn't our fault that we were attacked, and it isn't our fault that a handful of fanatics want to go back the golden years of the 7th century and live in a cave.
going back to 1979, every singe terrorist act against US interests has been conducted by arab muslims. (and don't mention oklahoma city. nichols and mcveigh spent a year in an al qaeda camp in the philippines.) and by focusing on a few select groups, we're becoming nazi germany. defend them all you want, they want to kill you too!!
tablet pc's go back a long ways. hell, all they are really are just touch screen lcd's. and they go back a long ways. the real problem is simply the handwriting recognition, and a powerful enough cpu to do the work.
the tablet pc is an idea that was more consumer driven, and microsoft just responded to it. probably more to enter the market now, and scare any innovation. like they've done numerous times. so, if they bomb, it's chump change. if they take off, then microsoft controls the market. when you are the 8000 lb gorilla, and have a monopoly, you can do these things, you know.
P.S. For laughs, try typing "man open" in the Terminal application. The man page should give you some nice background on how the command originated in NeXT OS.

yeah, that's alot of history. kept me up late reading it.
when some company orders 1000 desktop clones, the tech guy is gonna throw in a gaming system for himself, under the guise he needs a better system. but in reality, he's gonna be in his office playing UT2K4.
are you kidding. mandrake 9.2, rh9, knopppix, and yellow dog 3.01 configure wireless like a breeze. and, a helluva lot easier than XP. i have struggled to get my 2 brothers-in-law's notebooks connected with XP, and my wife's computer, ay freakin carumba. linux is a snap. the wireless cards are now recognized as/dev/ethx instead of/dev/wlanx, and/etc/sysconfig... scripts work fine. all you have to do is add a few things like wep keys, etc.
while acpi is sometimes sketchy, wifi works great on linux. a year or two ago maybe, but now, it is simple. there are even gui tools, so no need to open up vi.

it's not OS dominance, or even hardware dominance, it's standards. what is noce about OO.org (and apple's Keynote) is that it's files are XML based. office's lock-in didn't come because it was, or even is, the superior product. in fact, word is by and large, a bloated pile of crap. but, the problem for most is not the app, it's the file. look, you can use mozilla, IE, safari, opera, lynx, etc., to view web pages, but you really have one choice to view.doc files. the lock-in is file compatibility. microsoft knows it has got you by the balls and it loses everything if you can read/write.doc/.xls with any app. look what they're pushing.net for, web apps. and they're chagning things with longhorn. they're shitting right now because in a few years most apps, etc. willbe web services or web based, and they don't control that.
ah yes, the same cia that missed 9/11, wmd's, etc., gets this one right. i know that half that part of the world is named muhammad, and that names might be common, but, i'm still waiting on this one. there is more than just a name. there are also receipts for money to ansar al islam and others. people who would have us believe that there is no saddam/aQ link have to follow this logic.
aQ was in Pakistan, Afghaninstan, Malaysia, Phillipines, Saudi Arabia, Syria, Jordan, even upstate New York and southern florida, but no aQ in Iraq. aQ cut deals with the secular Pakistani gov't, are now operating in secular Syria, got funding from the Saudis (secular), but never cut a deal with the man who hates america as much as they did. hmmm...makes sense to me. and don't forget, hexbollah is iran backed through syria, a shiite terrorist group, receiving money and support from secular sunni syria. those who want to destroy bush are doing the same thing the brits and french did in 1937. like hitler, the jihadists aren't going away.
perhaps you should read Stephen Hayes' book The Connection, or look at the data regarding Saddam/al Qaida. was there a direct 9/11 link? the commission cannot conclude there was, however, you should also read a book called The Third Terrorist by Jayna Davis. There has been a much more than casual relationship between terrorists, of which aQ was a major group, and saddam. like at salman pak where they had a full fuselage of a 707 where terrorists trained for plane/hostage attacks. and now it seems that a high ranking colonel in the Rep guard was also an aQ operative.
there have been 850 or so deaths. hell, we are in world war 3, whether people around here want to believe it or not. in ww2, we lost 850 per day. and rememebr, japan only wanted us out of the pacific, and hitler never had us on his checklist. he wanted land in the east (lebensraum) and wanted peace originally with the brits. (thank God for Churchill!!) we face people who want to impose the extreme sharia on everyone, and want to kill as many americans as possible. i am not downplaying the 850, they are all terrible, however, if we cannot stomach the losses, if we cannot susain the will to fight, and win, the 3000 will be nothing compared to the next attack.
given what bush could have reasonably have known after 9/11, the war in iraq was not only necessary, but mandatory. did he overstate some things, or rely on shaky intel? sure. but what choice did he have? no, containment didn't work (as much as gen. zinni wants to claim it), and given what might happen, anything other than removing saddam, would warrant impeachment. we can only imagine if aQ could have gotten wmd's on those planes.
ther is no chance of reinstating the draft. one, the public is not supportive of it. two, there is no need. we will never have a million men in the field again. third, the army doesn't want it. long time ago, it used to damn near impossible to get out, now, it's not too hard. they classify you as unfit for military life, and say have a nice life. look at what the army is doing in iraq. those aren't conscripts. even if you think bush is satan, what we are doing has never been possible, nor accomplished before. and conscripts won't do that.
the often overlooked issue in abu ghraib is that they were reservists and some civi contractors. the army and air force have been doing this for some time now. farming things out to reservists and civilians. there will be no draft. we need 2 more divisions. those can accomplishged within normal recruitment.
einstein's theory of relativity dealt with energy and mass. it hadn't anything to do with gravity. newton described gravity and gravitational pull. i.e., the apple was "pulled" to earth, it didn't fall. the theory of relativity was the whole e=mc2 thing. you know, it's what turns mass into energy at the atmoic level. it's what turned hiroshima and nagasaki into parking lots. gravity just got the bomb there.
actually, obj-c is quite powerful and easy to learn. i have been prgramming in perl, php, python, and java for several years. so, it is safe to say that i understand the basics of programming. i'm not a CS major, but picking up a new language is a matter of mechanics. i don't need to learn how to do conditionals, for instance. every time i tried to dick with linux and c, especially with gtk/gnome, it turned into a disaster. however, obj-c gives you the ability to call ALL c functions, and have OO code, and have some level of memory protection. it is awesome really. after you figure out the crazy [object method] crap, it is really powerful and the cocoa API is awesome. obj-c was a good choice. i was able to pick up cocoa/obj-c in a few days. far faster than mfc shit, or tkinter, or swing (blech).
