Sorry my bad. And I got the karma down-mod to show for it too...
Oh well time for a new nick so I can start flagrently flaming the Bush Administration with impunity and still have a hope of someone reading the posts for the first couple days because the filters won't let em' see any posts mod'd to -5
Too many articles to mention on this. "Stupid White Men" - Michael Moore explains how Bush still managed to get himself placed in office... thanks to a little help of his friends; Brother Jeb,Campaign Manager on the Florida ballot tallying board, 1st Cousin at Fox News to break the story about Bush's "win", and Neo Cons on the Bench of Supreme Court, to stop a recount that had been steadily taking the "win" away from Bush.

...wait.... what is so good about having a PC in an ammo canister?
It's not like you can fire linux at people. And who would you want to fire an OS at anyway? SCO maybe?
Guns are made for killing people (well MP5's anyway) or agressive deer... that's all.
I suppose if you could get Linux installed on some heavy artillary you may be able to circumvent some prohibitive laws against ownership of said anti-aircraft gun.
I'm pretty sure you aren't in the army though (which would be the other reasonable use of this weapon/MP5), or you'd be too shell shocked to type and keep your sense of humor (or probably sense of anything if you were in Iraq right now).
I was in a comic shop this summer listening to an Asian chic explaining Anime to her white male friend.
She was saying how most of the Anime out there is marketed to young boys (10-14) and that's why there are always the DVD cases with the school girls and the panties showing.
I don't know but most of the people I've seen buying those are the basement dwelling pasty faced 30 year old balding white dudes.
The Cold War, the War on Drugs(!), Arnolds War on Lazyness, and most recently the War on Terror(Everyone not Rich and White). Various states claim they have a War on Crime they claim they are winning (which usually means "we're building more prisons!")
while these have never been declared per say, as in the WWII declaration, it continues to be said in the media, "we ARE AT WAR!!!" with these abstract ideas; Terror(?) and addictions Drugs(?)
Happened to me too. Worse off than you. I was getting financial assistance for my tuition at a tech school while I was laid off after the tech bust.
Some fuck took my check out of my mailbox and forged my signiture and put the check into HER OWN bank account (using her own bank card). I had to apply to get a new check issued from the government which caused an insulting investigation:
"Look MR. X we have your signiture right on the cheque..." Of course I was happy to go and prove that my nasty assed grade 3 sig is much different from the bubbly and (in my mind) obviously female forgery.
Long story short. They issued me another cheque, but not before my tech school sent the collection agency after me (god bless em') and ruined my credit. The bank where the check was cashed refuses to do an investigation into the person who stole it for what ever reason (probably bad publicity), even though they used their bank card and an automated teller. They reimbursed the government and in their mind's it is case closed.
BUT IT WAS MY IDENTITY THAT WAS STOLEN! Not the bank's who couldn't give two shits about a few measly thousand bucks anyway.
~~~"And in other news, a P2P group is planning to pay off the RIAA for that 12-year-old's settlement, and the BBC has an article about another victim. "~~~~~~~
I was thinking to myself "where are all these anti-RIAA folks. Why are they letting this 12 year old take the fall (for what is probably Mom's doing anyway: "paying" for Kazaa $39/month???)....? Why let RIAA even win against a 12 year old?"
I mean sure RIAA is making itself look bad but it also makes P2P look weak by allowing it to get this far. I want to see more Jane Doe's, more FreedomOfSpea-MMNnnnf's!!!
Of course these stories aren't pro Neo-Con. The Pro Neo-Con voice in the media is all encompasing these days. Try to find a media source that regularly asks the questions, instead of reporting on the pre-fabricated answers put out from the Bushites. You will not find it. The love affair with the Bush administration is going to fade when these media conglomerates realize that it's their son's that are dying in Iraq from "friendly fire" and "unstable elements" (I think Rumslfeld means bullets when he says that, but like with Bush it's usally impossible to tell)....
Oh wait, a media conglomerate can't have a son. It is not a person. Yet it get's to decide what the truth is based on what sells. And what is selling right now is ultra-insane patriotism: Let's bomb for peace!!! For Freedom!!! (?)
~~~~~~~"Incidently the US also breeds terrorists - people who bomb abortion clinics, Timothy McVeigh, the Unabomber. Are you going to say that people in the US are all full of hate?"~~~~
...don't forget who created Bin Laden himself That would've been old the Reaganites and his cronies: Bush Sr. Rumsfeld et al... (Not speaking metaphoricaly here, these people gave him the power not just the hatred of the U.S., alot of folks hate the States but it wasn't untill the CIA started to fund these people that they got the Power to make use of the hatred).
I don't understand your logic. If the number is going to be a round one, why not make it high. UNLIKE file traders spammers are not giving people the choice of whether to recieve the spam or not (unless you count the opt-out / double opt-in bogus links that are included in the mails). No way! If I want to allow other Kazaa users to download from me I will set my software to do so. It is, after all my bandwidth. I am paying for it, it has a cost and I decide the value of it not you and definatly not the spammers who think that value is = 0...
Every time a virus was found on our HR lady's PC she scream because the software would display a popup that had an animated little cockroach or something on it's back with it's legs squigling...
Because she never listened to our warnings about attachments that say "I love you", this would happen quite often.
The Catholic Church (one of the largest "legitimate" religions) has an entire Country (the Vatican) that isn't publicly open for viewing but once every 1000 years (the jubilee year was last year)... even then certain documents like the complete Fatima prophecies have been kept from Catholics because "they are not for our time" as stated by the current Pope.
This is not to say I aggree with one single tenet ofthe Church of Scientology, except that Travolta's Career has been ruined by it. That's one thing. UUUghhhh Battlefield Earth...
Yes there are even folks (hard working family people) who did nothing but habitually cheat on their taxes, in prisons. Ashcroft has to keep 'em full to the brim or his budget will never go up so he can build MORE!!! Do we really need people's families exposed to the less than flattering (er... gang rape in the bathroom anyone) antics of the jailhouse set? Nah at least I won't be watching.
Bad grammar aside: Who the fuck cares, even if he is symapthizing with the communists. This isn't the McCarthy era anymore son. People aren't sent to jail for having opposing views (cept' Arabs and any other group the Bushies can't get their pea brains around)
Mainly the only communists in China are the unelected government (not so unlike the U.S.A these days) including the million or so in the army (though I highly doubt all of them even, buy the partyline hook and sinker), so to have sympathy with the people labled Commies just for being born in China is completely logical.
Nearly completing the MiracleMan series before bankruptcy and legal fiascos with Todd (the Toddler) McFarlane, stopped him. He recently one the rights to the series in court back from McFarlane.
Good for Neil. He deserves alot of credit. For me, I couldn't care less about anything being published unless it had an X (as in X-Men not XXX Robot Sailor Schoolgirls) in the title before Sandman came my way. Now my interests are completely changed. I'll read anythng under DC's Vertigo imprint, found Dark Horse to be amazing too (Concrete is especially under-appreciated, though critically recognized/awarded)
Our International Film Festival has way smaller movies than this dude's... and bigger ones too, sadly the biggest draws are the "soon to be blockbusters" Hollywood flicks. Film fests offer a great place to showcase indy films, but I gotta agree that the net is going to revolutionize the way films are distributed and marketed and eventually purchased by the highest bidder (e-bay maybe even...)

Been using it to talk to my boss in China.

....to give all voter information to the RIAA?
Finally a trip to the doctor's office will be pain free (no lousy boy bands to make my ears bleed coming through the waiting room speakers).
As America is more interested in helping itself then helping Iraq or (Freedom for the World) right now.

Time to take a long view. Freedom fries was yesterday's shits and giggles.

Linus took a powder on Transmeta a few months back unless I heard wrong.

I mean there is a lot of harm that comes from the proliferation or raquets of mass destruction and all...
I can't even sit through an episode of OZ.
