None of these used the Times New Roman Font- and these were typeseting machines, not office typewriters.
In the late 1960s the Selectric Executive had such capabilities, but it wasn't until the early 1980s that Microsoft invented Times New Roman, with the closed top 4.
I resent the idea that I am lumped in with a bunch of rednecks that have no respect for human dignity and the sanctity of life. I am sure that peaceful Muslims also hate being lumped in with terrorists and Islamists.
So do the rest of us- but since we elected just such a redneck President, we can't do very much about it. Funny how the very people who campaign on sanctity of life often violate dignity and sanctity of life.
However, I HAVE read the Koran, and I know what it says about Jihad. I don't just follow the apologist media. I have also heard the speeches condemning the terrorist attacks. There is a duplicity that is present in militant Islam. I have heard it called "doublespeak".
The same duplicity exists in the Bush Administration itself. Abu Gharib is a great example.
The Bush adminisration is proving to the world that those slobs do not represent America by punishing those who did wrong. You can't expect Bush to take credit for what Lyndie did, he had delegated authority to his subordinate commanders. They further delegated that authority to those that could oversee the prison. The local commanders were screwed up. They were there.
When you delegate authority, you take responsibility for what your delegates do. That responsibility should NEVER have been delegated to CIVILIANS to begin with- and there's NO excuse for not including a pamphlet on the Geneva Convention with EVERY SOLDIER YOU SEND INTO COMBAT, just as they did in WWII. No, there was a willfull disregard for the proper chain of command here- and that comes straight back to Bush's "figurehead presidency" style.
AS for this incident costing us the war, I disagree. The war on terror will not be won by killing everyone who hates America,
Actually, it's one of the only two proven ways of dealing with terrorists: genocide or surrender.
nor by beating them into submission.
That NEVER works against terrorists at all.
Those who hate America because of Abu Gharib hated America anyway. We are infidels, dhimmi.
Not quite- many of the people actually in Abu Gharib are the same ones that were telling foreign journalists to tell Bush to hurry up and invade before the war. Some minds were changed by Abu Gharib- and we gave al Qaida a recruiting poster with that incident that they can use for the next 50 years at least.
The war will be won by taking away the governments that support terror, by stopping the funding, by closing the training camps, and by blocking their access to WMD.
At which point, they'll start putting meat and vegetables and dirt into mason jars to culture botulism and toss it into drinking water supplies all over America. You can't stop the terrorists merely by removing funding; there's a ton of cheap stuff they can do if they're determined. Like I once said- take 5000 orphans from Iraq (with reason to hate America because they lost their parents in an invasion), give them $10 worth of water, bateries, cheap flash condensers, and C4 and send them over the Arizona desert with orders to detonate the C4 when they're next to even a single American- and you've got 9/11 all over again for 1/10th the cost. You don't need a WMD to do a WMD's worth of damage.
I don't always think the Bush Adminstration is perfect, but I know that the overall goals of the war on terror are what is best for America, for Britain, for Austailia, for the Philippines,ad infinitum... The terrorists aren't just killing Americans after all...
I don't disagree with the goals- I disagree that those goals will do ANYTHING AT ALL to stop terror, and on the way to achieving those goals we've created a tenfold increase in terror attacks worldwide.
Titus, during the Jewish Revolt, came up with the first way to deal with terrorism that actually worked- he killed 500 Jews for every Centurion attacked, then he saked Jerusalem and sowed salt into the fields, basically ending any possibility
Ok- the evidence I've seen indicates strongly that the memos were typed sometime after 1986 and not signed by the guy who died in 1984. Originals may exist and this may be a photoshoped version of the originals to make them more clear- but at this point until we have the originals found and verified by experts, I'd take all of it worth a grain of salt.
Very few Selectrics had porportional fonts available- I learned on Selectric IIs and IIIs back in high school. NONE of the balls we had, had closed 4s, that wasn't a part of the Times Roman font as defined at that time. A few had superscripted th and sts, though, but that was in the late 1980s, not early 1970s. I think I'd go with the experts on this one. Much as I'm for Kerry and against Bush, I want to see the original paper now.
So what is your solution to outsourcing? Creating hidden trojan malware that fails if they fire you? Learning language after language after language so that you can stay ahead of the bright kid from India Institute of Technology who is willing to work for 1/10th your salary? What is the solution?
So what is the solution for the 21st century? Can you give us a way to fight back against the corporatists that are trying to steal middle class pay and middle class values away from us? What's the option? Violent Revolution? Sitting back and watching ourselves have a lower standard of living than our retired parents? Working for Chinese minimum wage at 24 cents an hour? Do you have a solution, or just more problems?
I know a lot of anti-union folks don't believe in class warfare- but face facts, the corporations have gotten together and unionized in the form of the WTO, and have fired the first shot across our bow. Are we going to let them get away with it?
The problem is that good pay, good food, good benefits, fun toys and the like have been missing from most IT jobs for about 4 years now. That's why people like http://www.ortech.org/The CWA are going after tech workers with a vengance. ORTech.org is the link, this is the first time I've been lazy enough to try the URL tag instead of an Anchor tag.
Be sure not to whine when you get laid off for being too old even though you have better skills than the guy from India who replaced you. Don't let us hear about you filing any age discrimination lawsuits either.
Serioiusly, I don't think I've gotten overtime pay approved for any job I've had since getting my college degree- including those jobs where I was on a Salary, carried a pager 24 hours a day, and worked 70 hour weeks.
If anything, I'd like to see the rules changed to be MORE inclusive- anybody getting a paycheck should have benefits if they work over 32 hours a week and overtime pay for over 40, regardless of who they are and what they do. Even managment deserves this.
Why would we want to colonize a planet where the average temperature is 600C and it rains sulfuric acid? We'd have to have some pretty good materials for that one- none of the Russian probes lasted more than an hour. Now I'll agree that it's possible life may exist under those conditions, but why would we care about contaminating a few bacteria that manage to thrive in that atmosphere?
Shoot, that's the real keyword isn't it? Can't use a rocket- too damn finicky. But fire it out of a rail gun heading East at the proper moment- that'd be the key.
Or Chicago. Depends on the purpose though. The lower the resolution, the lower the bandwidth on the fiber, and the more cameras you can afford to deploy. Cost in money and bandwidth will be an issue on any such network.
No. Though that's just a matter of time. Of course, for ODOT's main purposes (managing the COMET Incident Response trucks and giving the public a view of what's happening on the roads) that kind of detail isn't a business requirement.
In Oregon, ODOT has cameras all over the state- though mainly in the Portland Area. Tripcheck gives up to the minute road conditions in a number of weather and traffic sensitive areas around the State.
That's a typesetter. It didn't have a superscripted th. Times New Roman was invented and copyrighted by Microsoft- and differs from Times Roman by closing the numeral 4 on the top, which these documents do.
Exactly- it's on the guy who provided these to CBS now to prove that originals exist.
And the moral of the story is if you're going to forge records from the early 1970s, at least go to the trouble to find early 1970s equipment to do it on.
so I couldn't check for myself- but certainly the ONE document that this CNS article refers to, if it is porportionately spaced, would be VERY odd to have been typed in 1974. I didn't even learn about porportional spacing until 1987 myself- with some problems run into with a brand-new handheld scanner at that time when scanning out of a magazine that TYPESET porportional spaced fonts- and I never saw a computer do porportional spacing until my school got a copy of Adobe Print Shope in 1988. NO printer before dot matrix days could do it that I know of, and only one typewriter.
The slobs at Abu Gharib represent all Americans just as the 19 scumbags on the 3 planes in September 11, 2001 represent all Muslims.
In other words, enough to be the defining attitude of an entire culture for the next 20 years or so at least- if not longer. And BTW- they also represented their entire corrupt chain of command- right up to the slobs in the White House.
It happened. The WHOLE NATION was shocked and embarrassed. WE APOLOGIZED!! I am still waiting to hear a Muslim condemnation of 9/11/01.
Then you haven't been listening- every moderate Muslim cleric in the world has given at least one sermon on this (many more than one), and every single one of them denied the interpretation of Jihad as Terrorism. Doesn't matter one whit if you were directly, or even indirectly, affected. Forgiveness is often harder than appology, especially for a culture that has a memory as long as the Arabs.
Get over Abu Gharib.
Get in line- these people haven't gotten over Ghengis Kahn's conquest of their area yet. It was a mistake, sure. Possibly even an understandible one given the culture of the Bush Administration and their utter lack of respect for individual rights. But to expect THAT PARTICULAR CULTURE to get over anything that happened LESS THAN A YEAR AGO when they still haven't gotten over stuff that happened SEVERAL CENTURIES AGO, is unrealistic at best. With Abu Gharib, the Bush Administration proved to the Arabic World that US Soldiers are significantly more vicious and barbaric (from the rules of their civilization anyway) than al Qaida- and in fact, more terrifying, because the US Soldiers leave you alive to live with your shame afterwards. At least al Qaida has the decency to kill you. Step out of your skin, out of your cultural biases for a second and look at this from THEIR point of view, and then you'll see why this one incident has cost us the war on terror.
Either that, or use the HG Wells method (very big gun, purely ballistic beyond that). After all, you only need shielding and the waste itself, no need to launch a bunch of fancy electronics and the rocket motor into the sun. All you need to do is figure out how to reach escape velocity from Earth and fire it in the opposite direction that the Earth is going. Since it will then be (by definition and Newtonian physics) in the same orbit but at a slower speed, the sun's gravity will do the rest, and it will be well inside Earth's orbit by the time you catch up to it next year.
And if it reenters on Venus or Mecury, why would we care? Even nuclear waste wouldn't surivive in the atmosphere of Venus if the Russian probes are any example, and even if it slams into the cold side of Mercury I doubt we'd care (neither one of these are usefull planets to mankind).
Interesting. I had not heard that before. Suddenly the sun as a place to dispose of nuclear waste seems a lot more usefull- seeing as how it will be a long, long time before we use 8x the amount of nuclear material as the SUN has!
Actually, it's become apparent that Kerry couldn't have avoided the service. He tried for an educational defferment to study in Paris that was denied.
However, I'd point out that Kerry's attempt was based on HIS OWN MERITS AS A SCHOLAR and not FAMILY CONNECTIONS- so this still means more honorable and less abusive in my book.

Worse than that- this uses 170 6.1 megapixal cameras, apparently. Guess now we know what a beowulf cluster of 6 MP cameras looks like.

Don't need to move entirely- just get a NAT that supports IPv4 on the LAN side and IPv6 on the WAN side. No problem.
