  1. God man.. on 'Black Box' Readings Help Convict Montreal Driver · · Score: 1
    Talk about getting tooted up about nothing. This same thing has already happend in California. The black box records about 15 seconds of data then it gets wiped in most cases. Get a grip get over it or walk, bicycle or ride the bus.

    Driving is not a human rights issue. If you drive like a aggressive shit head I hope you get busted before you take someone else out with you. No one has a "right" to drive. If you abuse the ablility to do so you will loose your license if you even bothered to get one. If you get in a wreck count on the insurance company and cops to wanting to take a look at this data and drive accordingly. For sure if you want to sue the maker of your car they are going to have a look at it.

    LOL what a lame remark. Since you are a AC Microsoft suckboy troll you don't understand 350 MB is nothing. The complete 9.2 package is a 7 cd set. These patches cover applications and componets that have nothing to do with the kernel usually. 7 CD is a shit load of applications. As well 350mb of patches for all that is nothing as that easily is matched by the multiple 150mb windows patches I typically have to install which often require modifiing the MS Windows kernel and require a reboot. None of these patches will requre a reboot. You wonderfull MS product hardly is functional compared to what most Linux boxes can do. Your MS bias has left you in the past with only being allowed to go where Bill and Steve want you to go today.

    All of the people I know have have installed the 9.2 version have had zero problems. I however am not suprized as Mandrake is really good at stepping on their dick to rush a release out when they don't need to be in such a hurry. They also are good including so much bleeding edge stuff these quick post release patches are almost always required. I do belong to Mandrake Club and am happy to help support developement of the Mandrake distro and Linux with my money not just my mouth. Their choice to use bittorrent is a good move too. I am happy using my now old 9.0 which is stable and as functional as I currently need. I am planning on putting an order in for the 7 CD set in November and upgrading then.

    You MS suckboys really do need to get a grip.

    You have just described the current forfeture law over "drugs" it is now a source of income for local law enforcement with all the inherent evil that entails. I live in California and I love the outcome. The "courts" are the people who get the money. It doesn't end up in the states general fund here.

  7. What gets me.. on Brill's Contentious ID Card · · Score: 1
    How does my "credit history" Indicate my propensity to be a criminal or terrorist? The anal and elite classes seem to be very hung up on "credit histories." Thats is so funny; the only people who have ever tried to stiff me have been wealthy and you can be sure it ended up in their credit report. If that is a indication of a propensity to terrorism or criminality then all the wealthy political class (thats democrats and republicans) should be unable to fly without full body cativity checks.

    It seems the FBI and everyone else is to interested in your credit history. How the hell does that indicate crap? Your credit history could be perfect because you don't have any or it could be perfect because you just went BK and have a totally assumed idenity you just stole.

    Just something that is a pet peeve.

    And Fuck Stven Brill too, Court TV is one unending automatic assumption of guilt before proof of such. The last thing we need his involvement in "identity verification."

    "Valuable time our leaders could have spent debating something more productive have been wasted" Actually the more time you allow them to debate something less productive the better all around for everyone. Government is to ponderous and big to even accomplish 99% of the crap it sets out to do. I say let them debate all the want while people who can actually accomplish something fix whats wrong.

    Why is it you assume that the leadership in most countries would allow you to provide proper food and health care for their people even if you had that 10%? Many countries use food and health care as a means of control over their populations and do not permit "aid programs" that they do not control.

  14. Re:It's not the weapons' accuracy... on Warfare at the Speed of Light · · Score: 1

    Alot more than I trust the trash press and "Media blood sport" in europe that doesn't care if it's correct or not as long as they can prove they can bring any elected government they want down. Funny thing about the press they are not elected but act as if they have the public interest at heart. When caught up in total falsehood they ask you to suspend belief and give them the benifit of the doubt they never give your elected political representives (this equals you in case you don't realize it.) Just so you are clear J.W.B. never claimed any imeadate threat to national security. That is a myth. John Kerry and some democrats claimed that. Bush said he wasn't waiting around for a Chemical, nuclear or biological September 11th. No WMD threats were claimed by the US the potential was claimed. But that doesn't fit your agenda.

  23. Why? on E-voting Patches Skew Election? · · Score: 1
    Why can't we use paper ballots?

    I voted by absentee ballot so I would have a paper ballot. I don't trust "electronic voting" no matter who builds or makes it.

    I have seen some post indicating that the recall election here in Califorina was "stolen" perhaps because of these machines. With total Democratic control of the all State offices I don't buy into this idea. It just shows how out of touch the bay area and costal California is with the rest (majority) of the state when they makes such statements. This map shows that clearly. recall map by county This map show how many counties actually went for Schwarzenegger Votes on who will succeed Gray Davis he won in all but 7 counties. So much for saying he has no mandate

    I have also read the some democrats in the bay area think they are "better" and "smarter" than the rest if Califorina and they don't matter. Discounting the equality of fellow citizens is offensive. Marginalizing those you disagree with is a huge turn off and your political ideas are suspect from then on. This is a boner move and will come back to haunt bay area and coastal democrats in the future. I suggest you STFU and concentrate on finding out why the rest of the state doesn't agree with you. This SacBee article dispells lots of myths I have heard and read (even on /.) about the nature of the recall Daniel Weintraub: Facts and fiction about the California recall election

    Once again paper ballots are a must for free and fair elections. Any election can be stolen no matter what method is used but it seems that a paper ballot properly cast is much harder to tamper with.
