I cannot believe the flat out ignorance of so very many folks on how the government of the U.S.A. is supposed to work. But before we get started on *that*, let's look at this:
"All you really have to know about Net Neutrality is that its biggest promoters are George Soros and Google."
To begin with, the article linked is at www.dailykos.com, which is run by Markos Moulitsas. He is American born of a Salvadoran (a country with long standing socialist influences) mother and a Greek (more socialism) father, and grew up both in El Salvador and Chicago. Now I am from Indiana, not all that far from Chicago and know that a Republican in Chicago is regarded a Liberal in Indiana. He backed, and campaigned for Liberal Democrats throughout. [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Markos_Moulitsas]. He is a Leftist, and his web site reflects that.
The DailyKos article links to an article at thinkprogress.org, from which google tells us that Soros funds Thinkprogress and following the money, behind Net Neutrality, just as Rush alleged. And for that matter, reading the entire list of inter-networked organizations covered at http://discoverthenetworks.org/ finds George Soros deeply involved in funding a vast network of anti USA, anti-freedom, anti-capitalism, anti-Business organizations of the progressive Left. That includes the attack on the Chamber of Commerce.
George Soros, a statist Socialist who wants to control the world, is behind “Net Neutrality” [link here]
All of these individuals and organizations are committed Socialists and Progressives. The problem with that here is the USA, is that it is the diametric opposite of the US Constitution, Liberty, Capitalism (which is just people saving their money and investing it), and all else this country stands for.
It is nothing new that Socialism has been infiltrating the USA for over 100 years. And it is nothing new that Socialism has never, ever, not one time, worked for an extended period of time. It seems to work, until it runs out of other peoples money. It will then die as it has always in the past, and with a fair share of suffering and violence as the throes of death proceed.
In short, Net Neutrality, especially done by the FCC, is un-Constitutional
The problem of the FCC “regulating” the internet is that they have NO governmental right to do so.
Briefy, the Executive branch (President, and *his* FCC) cannot make law. Congress makes law, which when passed must be approved by the President. And that can be revoked in the Courts. The case here is that the President through the FCC is making law.
Obama, long before he was elected President, Obama lamented that the "Constitution is a charter of negative liberties".
[audio]. The problem here is that the Constitution in every point, limits government and gives it NO right to do anything TO its citizens. That was done by design of the Founders.
Obama laments that because he wants to impose Socialism and wealth re-distribution. These two, Socialism and the US Constitution, are incompatible.
Quite some time ago, I transferred my address list (about 100 records I'd guess) from a TI99/4a cartridge based program to IBM PC diskette. The cartridge based program stored data on cassette tape.
That data eventually went by way of comma delimited format into an early Palm Pilot [An IBM branded model], and then into later Palm Pilots. I still have that data, much amended, to this day and still on a Palm and in the PC based software for Palm.
I still have all that TI99/4a hardware, but haven't run it for a couple of decades.

You are deliberately trying to mislead.
Now, some Republicans ( not conservatives as that is not necessarily the same thing) such as McCain, Lugar, Gramnesty, are just about as socialist/marxist as the Democrats have become. So I'll only partly dispute that.
But you are totally in error and expose yourself by claiming the Tea Party folk are Communists. The principles of the Tea Party and Communists are direct opposites. Meanwhile, you cannot tell the difference between the Democrat platform and the Communist party platform. See http://www.cpusa.org/
The Net Neutrality Coup
The campaign to regulate the Internet was funded by a who's who of left-liberal foundations.
John Fund: The Net Neutrality Coup - WSJ.com
"The net neutrality vision for government regulation of the Internet began with the work of Robert McChesney, a University of Illinois communications professor who founded the liberal lobby Free Press in 2002. Mr. McChesney's agenda? "At the moment, the battle over network neutrality is not to completely eliminate the telephone and cable companies," he told the website SocialistProject in 2009. "But the ultimate goal is to get rid of the media capitalists in the phone and cable companies and to divest them from control."
A year earlier, Mr. McChesney wrote in the Marxist journal Monthly Review that "any serious effort to reform the media system would have to necessarily be part of a revolutionary program to overthrow the capitalist system itself." Mr. McChesney told me in an interview that some of his comments have been "taken out of context." He acknowledged that he is a socialist and said he was "hesitant to say I'm not a Marxist."
Well, I hate this change. I use Deli a lot. And my bookmarks are all in categories.
And it looks like none of that exports; only the bookmarks themselves. So that stinks as well.
And I do not know of an equivalent service, period.
I suppose the reason they might [are] dropping Deli is the lack of money coming in, as I don't know where that income would come from.
Actually that is a good point.
Ironically in what I thought was an unrelated chat, it came up that a banking chain in the area converted to Windows from OS/2. But it didn't last long. Somehow, troubled with problems of stability, and with hackers, viruses, etc, they gave up and CONVERTED BACK to OS/2.
I know where the bank is, but don't off hand recall the name.
I work for a company that was big on OS/2 back in the day. And as a result got several certifications on OS/2. I have probably forgotten most of it (but still have some books), and trashed the last OS/2 machine from storage last year. Still have some disks if I wanted to....but I don't.
>This is, of course, bullshit, at least in my experience.
That certainly is NOT BS in my experience.
If you are getting either analog or digital on rabbit ears, you are NOT 50-60 miles out (or more) like I am. I can get analog just fine, with a much bigger antenna. Not so with digital.
I do get digtal now, but I had to get a much bigger antenna *and* put amplifiers on it. And if the weather goes bonkers (fog or whatever), it might blip out, and you get nothing. But that doesn't happen too often. HD looks very good otherwise
Nah, not at all likely to make them dead, your typical home generator just doesn't put out enough juice to kill most of the time. It's almost like people on slashdot didn't play with electricity as a kid =) The worst shock I've ever received was from a 10KV fly back transformer in an old Sun SLC workstation (it was the part for powering the CRT). That jolt blew a hole in the screwdriver I was using and threw me a couple feet and knocked me out.
Pure nonsense. That flyback is 10kv at a very low amperage. The voltage/amperage sent back over the powerlines from a home generator is plenty to kill someone. It could also kill you at th 120/240 volt level if you get into that.
Furthermore, what happens out on the utility lines, grounded or at 12kv, might very well toast your generator and maybe put something on file.
Many a safety minded lineman has had a good chuckle about the *deserving* generator user that foolishly endangered lives with a backfeed.
DO NOT hook up directly. Please use a transfer switch or just hook up extension cords to your appliances.
Stay out of court.
PS. The power company I work for did not tell me what to say....
and haven't noticed the incitements to violence, then there's little I can say. And it wasn't, by any means, all defensive. A lot of it was, but those were in periods where Israel was the weaker party.
Hmmm, incitments? Really don't know what you are talking about. There are:
Parts where they were instructed what to do. More often than not, they didn't do it. That is when things didn't go as well (less favor from God) and they became weak. They were stronger when more of the heavy lifting was done by God, and they behaved better. Not real often.
Parts where what is related is *historical*. An account of what happened. This is perhaps what you refer to. But it is NOT instructional about what they should be doing (a commandment) but rather how things go, particularly when they did not obey These parts should not be taken as "thou shalts". Instead, it is the ongoing soap opera.
That is where this part comes from.
How about this bit: A prince wants to marry the daughter of a leading Israelite, and she's agreeable. They've had a bit of premarital sex. Her brothers trick all the males in town into getting circumcised on the same day, and while they're in recovery, the kill them all.*
And this:
Or the bit about killing everyone worshiping a golden calf after they think Moses has abandoned them?
And the last part, prophecy. This is about 1/3 of the Bible. With this mixed in the already confusing mixture above, most folks really don't understand it. They don't know the purpose, the end game so to speak.
There are lots of others. (I *DON'T* have the Bible on my computer, so I'm not going to cite chapter and verse, or anything that doesn't come readily to mind.)
No, really everything falls pretty much in those three categories. You can however, look up whatever via a site like Biblegateway without installing anything. Or do it from a Linux box as I am now.
The christian testament *IS* less inciteful. Somehow, however, the christians have traditionally been more violent than the jews.
A jew is a jew by birth or by religion. One by birth is one regardless. A self proclaimed christian is not necessarily a real christian. Just because they say they are, and they believe they are, does not mean it is so. They must follow the teachings of Christ. Most of those who call themselves so, follow the teachings of some church. And that is entirely different.
So, a diversion. Solve this (easy) riddle. How can Israel fight Judah? Who is the Israel of today?
# 2 Kings 14:13
Jehoash king of Israel captured Amaziah king of Judah, the son of Joash, the son of Ahaziah, at Beth Shemesh. Then Jehoash went to Jerusalem and broke down the wall of Jerusalem from the Ephraim Gate to the Corner Gate--a section about six hundred feet long.
>the Koran explicitly encourages violence against the non-muslim. Read your bible. It does the same thing. Less so in the new testament, but the christians have, if anything, been more violent than the jews.
OK, I have read the Bible, several times. And have it installed on my computers. And have read enough of the Koran to understand the problem. And what you say is misleading.
Old Testament: Military operations were "supposed" to be defensive. Actually, it was God himself that was supposed to do the fighting; as was done against the Egyptians on the Exodus. But being human, sometimes the Israelis wanted to do it themselves. And later, rejecting God, they wanted a King. In addition, many of the tribes or cities existing were corrupt beyond measure with idolatry such that they sacrificed their own children to the gods (Dagon stone gods or whatever) if something like a crop failed. Or that it might.... Oddly, now some who are in the same region still do that. They teach children as young as 5 to tie bombs (fire) to themselves and sacrifice themselves, under the direction of their elders, to the god of war. Several thousand years later, the same people are doing the same thing.
New Testament: Still defensive. Many who call themselves Christian are just doing that. Nothing else. They are doing what they are told and do not actually know what the Bible says. It does not say to kill 6 million Jews (and Christians, and others who disagreed). Nor does it say to be a passive fool, as many assume. The actual end, should it come (Revelation) finds God himself fighting and destroying the forces of Evil. And then 1000 years of peace. On earth. Not in Heaven. True Christians are just bystanders here in this final conflict.
Koran: The meaning and intent are clear. Rule and dominate the world by converting everyone to Islam, or kill them, or perhaps enslave them (till you get tired of that and kill them). ANY Muslim (even if just born into it) that is not loyal to this, can also be killed and is deemed worse that the infidels (those who are not Muslim). Nothing less that total domination is acceptable, though in the short run compromise, lying, subterfuge of any sort are all acceptable as long as they are used to achieve the final goal. Furthermore, destruction of yourself, your family, country, and the world are all acceptable as long as the primary goal of killing or converting all infidels is achieved. After all, that makes you worthy of heaven. Islam isn't just a religion, it is a marriage of religion, politics, and the military war machine. It is (part of) the war machine to be destroyed in the final conflict I referred to above where God (not humans) destroy the Evil.
There is really no comparison between true Christianity and Islam. However, false christianity and Islam do have some similarities; Islam is still by far worse. It is the complete opposite of Freedom and Liberty. The U. S. Constitution itself is the opposite of the Koran, written much more succinctly. And one, unfortunately, diluted and chipped away at in a destructive way; especially since 1900 AD or so.
I have three bee hives that are doing fine AFAIK as of two weeks ago, that are placed directly beneath a commercial FM radio station antenna (inside the radius of the guy wires).
They are however, several miles away from other bees making the transmission of disease and parasites less likely.
Both corn and soybeans are planted directly adjacent to them. So current pesticides and herbicides are not affecting them.
Productivity of honey is down considerably from a decade ago when I had 13 hives in a different location. However those hives were much closer to other bees and I am sure got the parasites that killed so many bees in the last decade. All 13 of those hives died.
Honey production is down primarily because no one is planting clover for hay anymore. It is all corn and soybeans. It is a struggle I'm sure for the bees to find enough to store away for the winter.
Commercial bees are transported from site to site for pollination. That is stressful to the hive and subjects them too other bees that are possibly infected with whatever.
I just don't accept the theory that it is radio waves. The study sample is probably so small it means nothing anyway.
Just did my laptop at work. XP was deteriorating quickly, and it would take far longer to fix it (if it could be done) that to start over.
Given:
1. We have an image with base software already on it.
2. Internet connected when needed
3. All the CD's on hand needed.
4. Everything else pretty much available on the WAN or already on another partition.
It took about 5-6 hours. That does NOT include the time spent backing up stuff to DVD or hard disk.
In late December, I set up a unused PC (600 MHZ) with 2 Haupauge PVR 150 TV cards and a 200 GB hard disk as a MythTV Frontend/Backend. The cards are Standard def. The setup was straightforwards and pretty easy. I did have some issues with jerkiness due to the video card in the machine, but got it to work well enough by changing some settings etc.
After And I set up the server, I then got an even older 450 MHZ PC with barely enough RAM, and made a front end out of it. Again, that didn't work well, but a cheap Nvidia card took care of that AND gave me Svideo out so I could run a monitor and a TV as a second monitor (dual screen) at the same time. I then forced MythTV to run on the TV and got TV plus internet. It was only jerky if I did too much internet or whatever on the PC while watching TV. You do have to watch what window has focus, if you want to do some control to MythTV, but you get used to alt-tab etc.
Because that worked so very well, at only the cost of 2 cards, I replaced the front end machine with a new 3200+ AMD socket 754 MB and chip at a little over $100. I had the case and everything else already. I also just took the 450 MHZ frontend and put it in another room, still on the MythTV network.
The new AMD system is a dream. I run TV, internet, Openofffice.org, VNC to other machines, XP in a VMWare session, and much more. And performance is never a problem.
MythTV is OTA, and there are plenty of stations, ABC NBC CBS PBS etc all have mutiple channels each. Fox goes HD next year, but I can record all of these SDTV using power search (record a show anytime it finds it by name, don't record dups and reruns, and skip commericals.
nice.
Still running on the 600 MHZ backend, but I am planning to upscale to a higher end AMD and plenty of RAM and 1.5 TB of Hard disk. This will be my main server for whatever purpose, including VMWare etc. Oh, and 4 or 5 HDTV cards, plus the SDTV cards while there is still SDTV.
Really, this is the coolest thing for OTA TV.
Distribution used: MythDora http://g-ding.tv/, which is Fedora Core 5 and MythTV plus add-ons and on one install DVD. Also nice. FC6 would have been better, but this will do fine.
many places in europe (with virtually no legal gun ownership) are in fact much safer than the usa
No, that is just not the case. The average kill rate in Europe is rather high. You must count the fact that oppressive governments and war take more lives than civilians any day. And Europe is certainly a place that rates high there. With many wars over history, the latest notable being WWII, Europe accounts for millions of dead due to totalitariansm, which *never* tolerates citizens being able to defend themselves. It is because they cannot defend themselves that thes oppressive regimes can and do take hold there.
It is in fact the taking of arms from citizens that paved the way to the Killing of 20 million or so of Jews, Christians, and others who were defenseless. Meanwhile, just a few Jews in the Warsaw Ghetto held off the German Army for quite awhile.
Further, a question has to be asked, is it starting again? 112 automobiles per day average in 2006 burn in the suburbs of Paris, and Jews are again being attacked. (Google: "112 cars day paris suburbs")
One has to wonder whether and if so what kind of a payoff or other gift they (tommy.com) might have gotten to present this interview. A cut in licensing costs? Just what is going on underneath the perfume?
Microsoft certainly isn't above doing that sort of thing given past performance.
Bloat or not, it is still the best reader for Adobe Acrobat files. And I need to do some of those added features like 'fill in forms', password protected forms, etc.
For instance, my Bank Statements have been coming in password protected files for years now. So I very much welcome this new product.
I don't know if Microsoft software and the associated security holes are behind any of these very serious hacks, but if they are, what about that new Microsoft policy? They do have buckets of cash after all.
That's an absurd reading. To say that is to say that a person can threaten the life of the president...
No one said anything of the kind. The other commenter (alsta (9424)) has it right.
The answer to your post is within your own post. The problem is the crime, the criminal who does the evil deed. Not the gun. Guns of themselves do nothing. In the hands of good people, they are used to do good. In the hands of evil, they are used to do evil.
Nor can you prevent the evil from aquiring and using guns. For instance, a 'hit' was just performed using a gun in a high security prison in Mexico. See azcentral news
MEXICO CITY - A fellow inmate opened fire on the brother of one of Mexico's most-wanted kingpins,
killing him inside a maximum-security prison west of the country's capital, authorities said Saturday.
Arturo Guzman was shot seven times and died almost instantly around 7 p.m. Friday at La Palma, a
federal penitentiary that holds Mexico's most dangerous and high-profile prisoners and is in the town of
Almoloya de Juarez, outside Mexico City, according to a statement released by state authorities.
While you are right that "People that legitimately acquire weapons are not the ones that mis-use them." the statistics disagree with your statement that "It is very likely the continued importation of illegal automatic assault weapons will be used for crimes though" is totally off base.
Statistics again show that so called "assault weatpons" are rarely used in crime. The reasons are varied, but one of the obvious is that they are too obvious. The are not easily hidden. And criminals invariably want to hide.
Quoting: "Nationally, "assault weapons" were used in 1.4% of crimes involving firearms and
0.25% of all violent crime before the enactment of any national or state "assault
weapons" ban. In many major urban areas (San Antonio, Mobile, Nashville, etc.) and
some entire states (Maryland, New Jersey, etc.) the rate is less than 0.1%" from Gary Kleck, "Targeting Guns", 1997, compilation of 48 metropolitan police departments from 1980-1994
However, concealing weapons is also of great value to the citizen for self-defense, particulary women, those of small stature, handicapped, and older people.
And it is also that reason that 'smart guns' are a bad idea. In a serious self-defense issue, *anyone* in danger must be able to use the weapon and it must be reliable. There are numerous case histories when the spouse, or a child sucessfully prevented the murder of other family members with an available gun.

- Productivity of honey is down considerably from a decade ago when I had 13 hives in a different location. However those hives were much closer to other bees and I am sure got the parasites that killed so many bees in the last decade. All 13 of those hives died.
- Honey production is down primarily because no one is planting clover for hay anymore. It is all corn and soybeans. It is a struggle I'm sure for the bees to find enough to store away for the winter.
- Commercial bees are transported from site to site for pollination. That is stressful to the hive and subjects them too other bees that are possibly infected with whatever.
I just don't accept the theory that it is radio waves. The study sample is probably so small it means nothing anyway.Given:
1. We have an image with base software already on it.
2. Internet connected when needed
3. All the CD's on hand needed.
4. Everything else pretty much available on the WAN or already on another partition.
It took about 5-6 hours. That does NOT include the time spent backing up stuff to DVD or hard disk.
After And I set up the server, I then got an even older 450 MHZ PC with barely enough RAM, and made a front end out of it. Again, that didn't work well, but a cheap Nvidia card took care of that AND gave me Svideo out so I could run a monitor and a TV as a second monitor (dual screen) at the same time. I then forced MythTV to run on the TV and got TV plus internet. It was only jerky if I did too much internet or whatever on the PC while watching TV. You do have to watch what window has focus, if you want to do some control to MythTV, but you get used to alt-tab etc.
Because that worked so very well, at only the cost of 2 cards, I replaced the front end machine with a new 3200+ AMD socket 754 MB and chip at a little over $100. I had the case and everything else already. I also just took the 450 MHZ frontend and put it in another room, still on the MythTV network.
The new AMD system is a dream. I run TV, internet, Openofffice.org, VNC to other machines, XP in a VMWare session, and much more. And performance is never a problem.
MythTV is OTA, and there are plenty of stations, ABC NBC CBS PBS etc all have mutiple channels each. Fox goes HD next year, but I can record all of these SDTV using power search (record a show anytime it finds it by name, don't record dups and reruns, and skip commericals.
nice.
Still running on the 600 MHZ backend, but I am planning to upscale to a higher end AMD and plenty of RAM and 1.5 TB of Hard disk. This will be my main server for whatever purpose, including VMWare etc. Oh, and 4 or 5 HDTV cards, plus the SDTV cards while there is still SDTV.
Really, this is the coolest thing for OTA TV.
Distribution used: MythDora http://g-ding.tv/, which is Fedora Core 5 and MythTV plus add-ons and on one install DVD. Also nice. FC6 would have been better, but this will do fine.
No, that is just not the case. The average kill rate in Europe is rather high. You must count the fact that oppressive governments and war take more lives than civilians any day. And Europe is certainly a place that rates high there. With many wars over history, the latest notable being WWII, Europe accounts for millions of dead due to totalitariansm, which *never* tolerates citizens being able to defend themselves. It is because they cannot defend themselves that thes oppressive regimes can and do take hold there.
It is in fact the taking of arms from citizens that paved the way to the Killing of 20 million or so of Jews, Christians, and others who were defenseless. Meanwhile, just a few Jews in the Warsaw Ghetto held off the German Army for quite awhile.
Adolf Hitler's use of firearms registration lists to confiscate guns and the execution of their owners teaches a forceful lesson
Further, a question has to be asked, is it starting again? 112 automobiles per day average in 2006 burn in the suburbs of Paris, and Jews are again being attacked. (Google: "112 cars day paris suburbs")
Oh, there is so much more...
Sorry Captain, you have to pay your "12.5% VAT" first.
Might it just be that the best system is designed by some guy in a garage? (aka Apple)
Microsoft certainly isn't above doing that sort of thing given past performance.
Control of suppliers, control of customers, control of employees, control of what competitors are left.
To go OSS would be a complete 180 in personality, and that is just not going to happen.
For instance, my Bank Statements have been coming in password protected files for years now. So I very much welcome this new product.
A New Cyber-Security Breach Bank of America says at least 1.2 million federal employee credit card accounts may be exposed to theft or hacking
I don't know if Microsoft software and the associated security holes are behind any of these very serious hacks, but if they are, what about that new Microsoft policy? They do have buckets of cash after all.
No one said anything of the kind. The other commenter (alsta (9424)) has it right.
The answer to your post is within your own post. The problem is the crime, the criminal who does the evil deed. Not the gun. Guns of themselves do nothing. In the hands of good people, they are used to do good. In the hands of evil, they are used to do evil.
Nor can you prevent the evil from aquiring and using guns. For instance, a 'hit' was just performed using a gun in a high security prison in Mexico. See azcentral news
Statistics again show that so called "assault weatpons" are rarely used in crime. The reasons are varied, but one of the obvious is that they are too obvious. The are not easily hidden. And criminals invariably want to hide.
Quoting: "Nationally, "assault weapons" were used in 1.4% of crimes involving firearms and 0.25% of all violent crime before the enactment of any national or state "assault weapons" ban. In many major urban areas (San Antonio, Mobile, Nashville, etc.) and some entire states (Maryland, New Jersey, etc.) the rate is less than 0.1%" from Gary Kleck, "Targeting Guns", 1997, compilation of 48 metropolitan police departments from 1980-1994
See Gunfacts 4.0 for much more.
However, concealing weapons is also of great value to the citizen for self-defense, particulary women, those of small stature, handicapped, and older people.
And it is also that reason that 'smart guns' are a bad idea. In a serious self-defense issue, *anyone* in danger must be able to use the weapon and it must be reliable. There are numerous case histories when the spouse, or a child sucessfully prevented the murder of other family members with an available gun.
All that is moot however. Because of the Bill of Rights, there are no grounds for limiting guns, period. See WHETHER THE SECOND AMENDMENT SECURES AN INDIVIDUAL RIGHT
