First off, there no real disease of adhd. This was made up by psychiatrists to sell these stupid little drugs. Most kid's diagnosed with adhd are simply kids who have too much sugar and caffeine in their diets, or watching too much TV and those damn commercial intermissions.
Here is a test to see if there is really adhd. Put one of these kids in front of their favorite video game. (I have never seen a kid in front of their favorite video game zone out, they are completely engrossed in the game) If they can play it for more the 30 minutes at a time without a break, then they have no problem concentrating. It is simply a case of teacher to stupid to really teach kids (which is where most cases of adhd are first found) or parents feeding their kids junk. Although I must say that it is nice to see an alternative to doctors and parents drugging their kids. I personally can't believe that parents are willing to start drugging their kids at such an early age. No wonder illegal drug use among adolescence is on the rise.
I have had the same problem with xmms. It locks up everytime I try to play and vid or mp3. I have been using VLC without any problems. Using 0.8.1 right now.
The thing I find odd about this is that no one can find a single person that was denied their right to vote in the election due to the large mistake by ChoicePoint.

Well, what a difference a week makes. After the initial charge that the United States of America was being stingy with its response to the tsunami disaster, the glare of scrutiny has been focused elsewhere: Arab countries.
First up, Kuwait. Kuwait has pledged $10 million, up from an earlier pledge of $2 million. Some are pointing out that's not much, when you consider how wealthy that country is. The price of oil has roughly doubled, and Kuwait now has a $10 billion budget surplus. They've got the cash. So how's come the figure is so low? More on that in a minute.
Other wealthy Muslim countries have contributed as follows: Qatar - $10 million, Saudi Arabia - $10 million and The United Arab Emirates, $20 million. So what's the problem? Well, there really isn't one, since money apparently isn't the problem right now anyway.
What's interesting to note here is that these wealthy Muslim countries are not jumping at the change to help their fellow worshipers of Islam. Indonesia, the most affected country, is the most populous Muslim nation. Yet, countries with enormous sums of money aren't really putting their money where their mouth is when it comes to helping their people.
Some believe that the earthquake and tsunami were the work of Allah, punishing Thailand, for example, for prostitution. These Muslim nations sure can whine about the way Muslims are treated around the world, but when it comes time for them to step forward and show how much they really care, they're out to lunch somewhere.
That's okay, though....as always, the United States, who has freed more Muslims from tyranny than any other power, will be there to pick up the slack.
Dropline is not that great. I have tried to install it twice on my AMD K6 II 500 megahertz pc and it has totally tanked the OS. It just is good foor older processers. It is a good thing I got Gnome installed before they tried to drop it.
Man they will screw you every chance they get.
One of the Democrats' and Kerry's favorite ploys is to harp on is that Saddam had no connection to Al-Qaeda and no weapons of mass destruction. Despite mounting evidence to the contrary, the left continues to advance the lie. Well, now comes even more evidence of Saddam's ties to terrorism and his weapons of mass destruction.
Iraqi intelligence documents taken by U.S. forces show a number of efforts by Saddam's government to work with Al-Qaeda, along with other terrorists. The documents also show that Saddam had mustard gas and anthrax, both considered weapons of mass destruction. By the way, some of those weapons, artillery shells with sarin gas, have already been found. You did know that, didn't you?
The papers also show that Iraq trained terrorists, along with orders by Saddam to attack Americans in Somalia. Remember that? The particular memo in question was written 9 months before the Army Rangers were ambushed in Mogadishu, And if that weren't enough, the documents include lists of Saddam's terrorist buddies that he worked with, including al-Zarqawi and al-Zawahiri. The former is still in Iraq, and is responsible for beheading a number of Americans. The latter's voice is believed to be heard on the latest tape broadcast on Al-Jazeera (where else) calling for attacks on Americans everywhere.
No matter how much evidence comes to light that Saddam Hussein supported terrorism and that Iraq was a terrorist state, the Bush-hating media and Islamic terrorist apologists will never concede any justification for the war in Iraq. Why?
Because it would help Bush and hurt Kerry...why else?
Speaking as someone who is fairly new to world of linux based operating systems, I would suggest the courses on www.linux.org. They are based on a debian system, but most of the basics for all linux systems are there. I learned more from that then any other information I have come accross so far.
First take a look at yourself and see what you would like to stress as important and go over those sections in the time you have with them. Then you can give them some homework by having them go over the courses at home.
Not being a power user or computer guru I find this to be a bit silly.
One of the main reasons I tried out Linux in the first place was the fact that there were so many different desktop "look and feels" included. I change Window managers a lot. Every couple of days.
I stick mainly with KDE because it was my first desktop and I have it sort of figured out. It, to me it seems fairly easy to use. I like a lot of the others though. It all depends on what mood I am in at the time. Sometimes I feel like a "start button" sometimes I don't Sometimes I feel like desktop icons, sometimes, I don't. My favorite thing about Linux is the diversity.
I have never been a fan of the way the Mac OS looks. I am sure it is a great OS but I am not that fond of the bubble gum cartooniness of the latest Mac OS. I am not that fond of the Linux WM's that try to emulate that look. I prefer a different type of look to my desktop. I am not sure how to describe it. Window managers like enlightenment, fluxbox, windowmaker and afterstep. They usually have a clean look to them.
Allow the user to change the layout and design of the web pages he views. WYSIWYG style. Would allow the user to make a webpage he doesn't like more to his/her liking. I don't think the web page designer should have the last word on how a page should look. I think I should be able (as the user) to move text, pictures, and links as I see fit.
I do most of my reading of topics of interest on the internet. Most of the information is free. I pay for Mad magazine, Cracked mag and Reader's Digest. Mad and Cracked because they are funny and RD because I am an insensitive clod and it is full of funny anecdotes and some stupid jokes.
I would just like to say that the rumor that there was a connection between Iraq and Alquada is true. There has been evidence found that there was a man that worked for Saddam whose name I forget who attended the meetings that planned not only the attacks on the World Trade center but also on the attack against the USS Cole in Yemen and some embassy in the sudan.
Also I think it might be too dangerous for contractors in the Iraq right now. It is like help building the Death Star in Return of the Jedi. The worst of it is not over. The violence will go on for some time.
There is a local am radio talk show host that is nationally sydicated that you might have hear of. His name is Clark Howard http://www.clarkhoward.com/.
He has pretty good advice and some links to some sites that might not already be added to the posts.
I recently gave my mother a computer loaded with Slackware 9 using the KDE that came with the install. The computer is an hold HP vectra I purchased from the place that I work. It has an Intel PIII 450 with 512 megabytes or ram. I think it is enough like windows with the point and click that she will not have too much of a problem. My father uses it as well but he has a much faster computer in his home office that is connected to the internet. They have had it for two weeks now and no calls for tech support yet. My is 50 and my father is 65.
Now that the federal government is getting tough on spam how much longer before the is a "war" on spam.
This war on spam is brought to you by the same people that brought you the war on drugs and the war on poverty, so don't get your hopes up.
I would rather the government kept the filthy little hands off the internet and email. I know that there are alot of people that hate spam but I hate television comercials a hell of a lot more then spam. I can't remember a time when the federal or my local government got involved in something and it turned out for the better. The less the government intrudes in our lives the better.
I know nothing about racks and servers but, could you use and old fridge and dehumidifier? Cooling and sound should be taken care of then all you have to do is drill holes for cable. It would be a little big. You could use any old pc and stack the inside if you leave the racks in the fridge.

I am not sure I see this so much as censorship as much as just a Dem who is doing what Dems do best. Creating new taxes.

The only thing we have to look forward to now is government regulation.
