One of the primary reasons we (in the US) have the right to own guns is to protect ourselves from an un-just government (including our own). Because of the 2nd Amendment it is very difficult for the US governement to do anything on a very large scale that would be against the ideas and wishes of a majority of the US people.
Newspapers run articles all the time that are obviously biased - in fact many exist just to voice their bias (Freedom the the Press), so they must be unprofessional also.
As for unfounded rumors, is it better for/. itself to debunk them or the mass of readers? Personally, the debunking holds more weight when many do the debunking - not to mention you get many different views why it is/is not bunk.
They must have changed the page since you looked at it because there is no mention of running fdisk/MBR on there now. It also won't matter if you run this command while in a M$ OS as it still won't allow you to delete extended linux partitions.
It will allow you to remove primary partitions - even this method has troubles deleting extended partitions sometimes - though truthfully I haven't tried this since I was running Win95.
This doesn't work. M$ version of of fdisk has problems removing Linux Extended partions. You usually get an error saying that you can't delete the partition because there are logical drives - you then go to delete the logical drives and it says there are none defined.

Quake 1 GPL'ed

Couldn't you just include the pak file from the shareware version of Quake1? The shareware license gives you the ability to distribute everything in it as long as it all stays together. You may not have all the levels (and new levels can always be made) but you would have most of the textures and models.
I don't think any race should run the world - let nature run the world. It did a fine job for many millions of years before we were here and it might take a while to get back on track, but I'm sure it will do a fine job once we're gone also.
I'm totally with you on your rant. The Anglo/Saxon (which I have more than a little in my blood) and their religions have done more harm to this planet, and it's other inhabitants, than they will ever admit to (if they admit any) - and they show no signs of stopping. I have also never read the books you mention (though I plan on looking for them), but I do have one question - in reference to this line from your post:
"scientists" have been trying for decades to convince the world to believe in the theory that we 'migrated' to this continent centuries ago from asia
Why is it not possible that your people migrated to this continent as well (albiet much earlier than others)?
this reminds me an oral report I heard in college once.
This guy did his report on how flashlights don't really produce light - they actually suck dark. The batteries don't drain, they get filled with darkness.
Since when do high tech toys have to improve the quality of life? I haven't heard of too many life improving uses for $10,000 stereos or TV's but people still buy them.
and though I believe they should be compensated for both the media and the work to maintain the list (though the post office HAS to do the work anyways to function themselves), I also believe that they are charging way to much for this thing. My guess it that it is to make up for some of the loss of revenue from email.
We paid $300 for a years subscription to the City/State database (I think we'll get a disk every couple months). The CD that we received contained the zip files for all 12 of their zip code databases but you need to call a 1-800 number to get the password for the database that you purchased. There are absolutely no applications on the disk - just raw data. If you want to read the files you have to write your own app (or purchase one) that knows how to read the files. An interesting note is that I have not seen any licensing agreements concerning use of the databases - including repackaging and selling them (though I could see headaches keeping them updated). In fact for the last 10 years or so we have just been extracting the data we need from the database and distributing the resulting file for use within our software package (we had been subsribed to the service up until about 4 years ago - somebody in our company just decided it would probably be a good idea to update our data files, so we just re-subscribed).
On a side note: it was rather funny getting this package from the post office that had "WARNING - Magnetic Media - DO NOT X-RAY" stickers all over it and the only thing in it was a CD =)

I would think the development period while in zero-G's would be the most dangerous part. People have been giving birth outside out hospitals for many thousands of years (and as far as I know animals still give birth to healthy offspring in the wild). I'm sure the sterility of space is a lot safer place to give birth than many of the places on earth where babies have been born.
And what about the people who seem to have nothing better to do with their time than jab people who do not believe in their religion or even worse, spend that time trying to force you into believing their religion is the only true religion? Are they any better than the people who maintain ifidels.org?
The question wasn't if he was a nice guy or not, but if a member the US Government had ever killed somebody of importance. The last time I checked, the leader of country (no matter how bad they are) is an important person.
Anybody that is surprised by this hasn't read Sun Licensing agreement. From the beginning it has stated that ANYTHING you develop in JAVA they have FULL right to use and implement it in anyway that they see fit. They could have even done this with the changes that M$ made in their VM and J++, they just decided to make a legal issue out of it instead. This one reason is why I have stayed away from JAVA - why would I want to put effort into developing an application that Sun could just come in claim as their own?
The youngest guy in my Action Quake clan is 30 and most of us work in the high tech industry; I would say our gross income is close to a million a year (for 10 of us). Though I do agree that many of the people that we play are teenagers many of the better and more highly respected players, in the AQ2 community, are in the their late 20's early 30's (and we have all kinds of fun slapping around these punks that think they are l33t)
>Beta was better than VHS... but thanks to >consumers, VHS became the dominant brand.
Actually this isn't true. VHS died because the people who made BETA said that they would not allow the format to be used by the pr0n industry who promptly went out and started using VHS. The rest is, as they say, history.
The last console I bought was the Atari Jaguar which allowed you to connect up to 5 people together (seperate screens) and play multi-player games. But since Atari made the mistake of not creating an API (everything was written in Assembly) the platform died. Needless to say it was probably the last console I buy - I'm sure I'll always be able to upgrade my 'puter to make it faster and more enjoyable than any console game.

He hasn't been killed (yet) but there are numerous accounts of US Officials mentioning good 'ol Saddam as being a target of the US Government.
And if you believe the conspiracy nuts, then there is more than enough evidence to show that both JFK and MLKing were targets of the US government.

Ummm...isn't RPM already RH's proprietary installer? And I believe it already is GPL'ed as another distribution uses it also.
