Although not identified by the WHO yet, I was impressed by a piece in the online Asia Times about a month ago about how the virus had spread further and the author described several large scale die offs of specific wild bird species in specific sites in western China, Siberia, and also parts of India. I have seen that info nowhere else. Sorry, do not have the url.
Many wild ducks can carry it non-fatally (like skunks can carry rabies for quite a while and not die).
H5N1 is going to get out all over Europe. Swan species are going to be hit hard in numerous places. Anyone heard anything about mortality rates in geese. Also - does anyone have any ideas about what this will do to more Arctic summering species?
I just rented the Winged Migration dvd just a couple weeks ago. I viewed with a slightly different lens this time.
That Genesis thing. I have a chemistry degree but we had to take religion too. And we did not have to believe it, but we had to discuss it on the tests about Genesis and the next four books having three identifiable sources, Jahwist, Elohist and Priestly. And we had to discuss on the test about the two creation stories in Genesis.
Actually the head of the religion department came to the college 1953 and tried to teach evolution, but the biology department was not ready to do it yet. But two years later, they did, and he came back as chair, and yes, delightful religion lectures. He could bring Schrodinger into a theological analogy. For a theologian he really knew his basic quantum mechanics and relativity theory. There are various strains of Christianity and all other religions.
I am thinking of that for my 700mhz with 256 mb ram. Why is xfce4 better than say icewm. I googled the xfce page, does like like a good windowing system.
I just keep my eyes open for something real cheap that I can plug a usb keyboard into to take notes of meetings. Does the Z one have a usb slot - the web pages for the zire-ish one were light on details.
I would just love to have something real small and a roll up keyboard to take notes at meetings.
the point is, I asked for help on it more than once.
That is the only thing that I asked for help on.
I receved no help.
For $60 USD (I have to convert my CD$ to USd$ for my us credit cards) I expect one answer to a question and fast bittorrent.
So, it was listed somewhere in errata, big whoop!
I run a house for the mentally challenged. There are times when medical issues surrounding the people I care for impact me severely, and it sucks up a lot of time.
The people involved with Mandrake did not give me the support I needed to continue with Mandrake. I want to say that it is a much, much better wiki and support and forums with Ubuntu. I get no flames for running KDE Kubuntu there - I am very impressed with that.
Frankly, Mandrake did not give me good enough support. Ubuntu does
And frankly - if you compare the jumbled mess that is Mandriva's web sit at this time to Ubuntu's or Debians - what would you choose based on that. There are huge gaping holes of things under construction. One might think that with a web site poorly integrated like that - what is the integration of the overall software.
I do appreciate hearing about how to click and configure the menus in KDE.
No, I am aluminum, a non paying member for three weeks now. I cannot bittorrent via Mandrake anymore.
Gui find would be how I would describe going to the "Start" button on the bottom left in KDE and then clicking the "Find Files / Folders" which is just above Help. I kept asking, and got no answers.
I can not expect newbies from all over the world (at the time from Scotland, Korea, Kenya and Australia at that house)to be able utilize the command line and locate.
Well, one paying customer was not listened to very well.
Their bittorrent to Canada was slow as molasses in Winnipeg in January (as opposed to KUbuntu whose bittorrent was almost 100 times faster. The gui find did not work on two different machines on 10. 0 and 10.1 regular and official. When I asked questions how to fix it I got - "why don't you do it via command line"
I do a lot by command line - but the snotty attitude really rankled.
If you want to waste $66 (USD no less) on Mandriva - go ahead. I was not impressed two days ago with the email from Mandriva saying to go to a web site that I thought was seriously half baked. There were gaping holes you could drive a Zamboni through.
They seem so all over the map with what they want to do (OHH we are going to set up a coding facility in Brazil). etc., etc. that my head swivels to near whiplash just reading their press releases.
I really do not miss urpmi. I really do not miss rpm. Granted, it is a little more work to go to the web sites of Adobe, Java, etc, to get the.bin 's and install, but I really do like apt-get. It is so slick.
So, I did like Mandrake for two years. It seemed the best of class to me, someone who doesn't mind the command line at times, someone who likes to sometimes run IceWm to keep a snappier system, and someone who is trying to show people from all over the planet how to run linux (I am house leader for a L'Arche house - I have shown people from 10 countries and still counting - all continents but Antarctica) how to use Linux instead. But damnit - when the find gui doesn't work all of a sudden when they hit 10.0 and I can't get support to fix for $60 - f. o . a. d.
Strange. I have gotten 5's before. I have never been labeled as flame, troll, etc. But when I type in "WHOA, what happened to the previous article that disappeared? Does this happen often?" - I get a minus one.
Excuse me for fixing my spelling while others got their comments on. Could someone with some karma put me back up to zero.
So, what happened to the previous lead article about Windows vista being borked. It myteriously disappeared. Maybe it was due to the poor way it was presented with old data from something that was supposedly WSJ but was being served out of an Australian web news site.
Actually I believe Harold the Fair Haired made matches he supposedly attached to birds tails in a siege of a Sicilian town about a thousand years ago. Supposedly it worked. Later he went onto become King of Norway.
Front page today of Winnipeg Free Press up here in Canada is that Winnipeggers need to help New Orleans.
I moved up to Canada so as to not pay US taxes (I am a us citizen.) So, don't blame Canada, the US screws them over every day, and still they want to help you out. Maybe that is why I like it up here.
What I want is a pda and a fold up usb keyboard to take minutes of meetings with. No mp3. wireless nice, but not needed. Just give me good battery life and a one year warranty.
Question, if the original host of the bittorrent have to pull the plug (as the bittorrent of the post a little previous did), will the bittorrent still work for those staying up?
shit yes, some web sites are basically unreadable. The copy these letters are getting hard, especially wondering if you need to go captal or small for letters, i vs 1 vs l etc.
First time it was done was in Mobile Albama in the early 1990's. Whole bunch of buyouts, so the decent album rock station one day, two days, three days continuously played the Macarena.
That is to make damn sure that previous people listnening to that station will never go there again. That one then went to oldies.
And a loss of a decent album station that moved down the dial and went to a more shit head crap satellite playlist.
Fuck Clear Channel.
Impeach George Bush. To re-elect a college coke dealer to the presidency - shit.
Much better radio stations in Canada, and I don't pay US taxes anymore.
I live and work with mentally challenged individuals.
Cassette tapes and vhs are much more resistant to destruction. They last longer in some environments. Also, for individuals with severe dexterity problems or more crippling forms of arthritis, VHS and cassettes are easier to insert.
The Fisher Price type cassettes just simply work in my line of work. It keeps some people happy. And so does VHS.

KUBUNTU
Non illigitamus carborundum I love that phrase.
My friend Sam Day often signed his letters from prison with that phrase.
Sam was the editor of the Bulletin of the American Atomic Scientists for awhile. He only went to jail protesting nuclear weapons.
I miss him.
A minus one. First time ever for me to get minus one. Go figure.

Actually they went to Dauphin Island first off the coast of Mobile to set up their capital. Hurricane came in, and they went to New Orleans.
Front page today of Winnipeg Free Press up here in Canada is that Winnipeggers need to help New Orleans.
I moved up to Canada so as to not pay US taxes (I am a us citizen.) So, don't blame Canada, the US screws them over every day, and still they want to help you out. Maybe that is why I like it up here.
As some have written, ditching bios will in the long run be good.
I was surprised the FreeBSD bootloader did not come up. It worked well for me when triple booting.
Options are nice, I wish some Linux distro's would give three options for boot loaders.
I mean some give you 8 options for text editors.
Also - how does Mac OsX do it? Do they utilize the FreeBSD or do they do something completely different?
Does it make it easier to make bash the default shell than FreeBSD does? (Hate to have to edit a config for that). [I checked the site.]
Looks nice. I shifted from Mandrake to Kubuntu, but still remember how sweetly puter ran 4 years ago on FreeBSD.
I agree, why show KDE screenshots when I would rather be seeing the diff's.

I think there would be more single users running FreeBSD if they offered you a choice in set up as to bash or csh.
