That's like saying they hate us because we're free, which we all know to be politically charged bullshit spewed forth by those who think blowing up Iraq is a good thing.
I can see your point if I look sideways at America - at the corporations who exploit workers in developing countries for huge profits. If that's the case though, why aren't the corporations being attacked?
We're not hated because we're free and rich, we're hated because our government likes to beat up on brown people and interfere with their governments.
You could try qmail-spp smtp plugins, or write your own spp plugin. I use about 4 plugins including local vpopmail user check. There are plugins for vmailmgr and others as well. Qmail has constantly moved forward, even though the base package hasn't changed in years.
until they've experienced being at the wrong end of one That will never do. Experiencing a taser is a nice sentiment, but how many of these officers will have health issues that may result in their death?
I'm sure there are many who experience real fear when being faced with a taser. Fear and medical issues aren't normal components of training exercises. An officer would never be expected to endure a taser if he had any medical condition that could result in his death when mixed with a taser.
Even if the officer did agree to the tasing, the department wouldn't want the liability of his possible death. They seem more than willing to shrug responsibility when they kill anyone else though.
You obviously haven't heard Dr. Paul's message. Spend an hour or so at freeme.tv to see what he's all about. Dr. Paul is a very entertaining and energetic speaker who really believes in the rule of law and the Constitution. His views haven't changed since at least 1988 (the earliest video I've found.) Some say he's out of touch with the GOP, and he says the GOP is out of touch with its core values.
If nothing else, after investigating his voting record and his political positions, you will agree that he is a respectable politician. He calls himself a constitutionalist... why not check it out, it's served the country well for a couple hundred years.
Forget forefathers, I've got fathers and older brothers and sisters in law and my mom to deal with as well as an example to set for my son and nephews. In my family, your vote is your ticket to participate in any political discussion. If you don't vote, you're not allowed to participate in those conversations.
Valuable or no, a vote is sometimes the only opportunity to voice your opinions. This is especially true in my family.
These days, I think Ron Paul is our best hope. It's refreshing to see a politician with consistent, principled integrity (to quote John Stewart).
There are modern mail management systems that remove the user from archive functions. One such piece of software is offered by Symantec as part of a package which filters spam/virus/phishing while at the same time auto-archiving all in and out bound messages. There are other free options that the WH could take advantage of. Qmail has now a wonderful plugin ability that would make auto-archive a snap.
We are talking about GW's staff. These folks, dastardly as they are, are not tech-stupid. They have resources at their fingertips that would make any geek green with envy. They knowingly deleted messages and failed to preserve archives. The Presidential Records Act isn't a new piece of legislation, it's been around since 1978.
The technology exists, and the White House can afford it. The question remains, will the White House obey the courts when told "don't break federal laws" or will they continue to break the law as usual.
..., at least, sounds earnest. It's funny you say that. His full name, Ronald Earnest Paul. I would say that he is earnest in both name and action. If any politician has lived up to their oath of office, they deserve respect. Ron Paul is one of the few who can prove his oath by having never voted for legislation that is not authorized by the constitution.
Anyone who is interested in getting out of Iraq must seriously consider Ron Paul in 2008. Like earlier posters have written, both sides are wishy-washy and both seem to be bent on staying put in Iraq, for as long as possible. Ron Paul wants to come home as soon as feasible. Maybe Washington needs a doctor in charge for a change.
What makes this irrational reaction so much worse is that we're selling our rights down the river for a false sense of security. Even more frightening, is that nobody seems to recognize that rights are slipping away and replaced with what is being shaped into a dictatorial state. The bureaucrats who dream this crap up also make it unavailable to the citizens. You can't know you're on the list until it bites you, and there's no way to get off of it.
Re:The Environment?

I must concede that you're correct. The environment does effect everyone. That doesn't change, however, the fact that it is of minimal consequence when compared to things like war. War effects people more directly.
Seriously, who cares if the air conditioner is set too low when the house is on fire?
There are plenty of studies showing that the global warming issue is caused by the sun getting hotter (look it up...I'll wait), and a recent study showing that the ozone holes at the north pole are getting smaller (did we do that? doubtful. Can a blogger get that kind of reaction, unlikely)
For every environmentalist bullhorning about the environment, there are just as many with the opposing viewpoint. Not everyone agrees that the environment is in bad shape. There is a majority that think the war is bad, and those same people don't want anything to do with Iran either. This whole environment thing is like a screaming monkey designed to avert our attention from the more important topics. The election, the war, the law, the real news suffers when useful information is replaced by fluff.
Why not pick a topic that effects everyone now? Perhaps, politicians who flip flop (almost all of them), unjust wars (Iraq, Afghanistan, maybe Iran soon), dollar devaluation and the fed who prints money and causes inflation, spend time blogging about politicians that the main stream media ignores (Ron Paul), or any number of actually important topics. But, the environment? Did you guys drink the purple cool-aid with Al Gore?
The Nobel Peace Prize has already been handed out. That bandwagon has already been parked, no sense getting on now. Our world has bigger problems now, and they're problems that can be resolved.
From the movie crazy people, "Japanese people are shorter, so they can get closer to the tiny electronics. They can better see what they're doing. That's why they're better"
I was, of course, offended by the Military Commissions Act, and the JW Defense Authorization Act, and a whole slew of other laws recently passed to extend the power of the government. I've sent letters to my congressmen as well as post on this and other sites. Today I found myself writing the Senate representatives from Texas (Kay Bailey Hutchison and John Cornyn.) You can find your Senate representative by visiting http://www.senate.gov/general/contact_information/senators_cfm.cfm
I wrote my nasty-gram this morning which explained my amazement at the lack of respect my representatives have shown to the supreme law of the land, and the contempt they show for their constituents by their voting actions. I also mentioned the dishonor they show to those that died in the creation and defense of the constitution. Lastly, I mentioned that in the next election I will cast my vote for the devil I don't know.
Basically, I'd like to encourage everyone to contact their representatives and let them know how they make you feel when they assume that your liberty is worthless.
sheesh, false positives.... Why bother when you're the gov't. Just hand your agents cans of red spray paint and arrest everyone. We're just cattle anyway. It doesn't matter if they actually catch the right bad guy, as long as the blame can be squarely placed on the shoulders of somebody already in custody.
Output to the screen is in ascii, if run as an application within something like telnet, ascii characters would be transmitted, not video.
When trying this technique, it's important to execute VLC outside of X11 (not sure how this would operate in Windows...that's not my bag). I used font selection to get smaller ascii-character "pixels".
Get yourself a capture card (or camera) and pipe the input through VLC at the command line. VLC can be compiled with ascii-art libraries and you can do this yourself (only, it's not just green, ascii-art library processes colors too)
It's dead simple, but not useful enough for me to do it twice.
You see, fibre isn't wire. Wire is used to conduct electrical currents while fibre transmits light. So, technically, it is wireless....although the presence of fibre makes it appear to be wired because of the similarities in appearance of both.
Ok, it's a stretch......I haven't had my coffee yet.
Normally, I don't respond to asshats who post as Anonymous Cowards, but I'll make an exception in your case, in order to get the truth out into the open.
Governer Perry issued an executive order that requires girls to get the vaccine. The press release reads:
...an executive order directing the Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) to adopt rules requiring all girls age 11 and 12 to receive the Human Papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine prior to entering sixth grade, effective September 2008. I'm pretty sure that Governor Perry keeps the "shoving it up their little asses" kind of activity private...
...nobody told the voters they got to choose the law,... State != feds. If a state has a law contradicting a federal law, the federal law overrules. Please, allow me to direct you to the Bill of Rights. The 10th amendment states:
"The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved for the States respectively, or to the people."
Now, the federal government claims all rights and allows the people to obey... But it isn't just the federal government, Governor Rick Perry tried to mandate the HPV vaccine to Texan girls without proper legislation... It's only natural for county government to follow the examples set by the larger government bodies... Why listen to the people when don't want to?
Alex Jones is frequently called a "conspiracy nutjob", and in short order is shown to be right on the money. It's a wonder that more people don't take him seriously...
We'd have a new revolution on our hands if more people payed attention. They can't pay attention to "Dancing With the Stars" and "American Idol" at the same time as they're concerned about their country.

I'm sorry, but our constitution can't provide rights to non-citizens. It's the tricky part at the beginning "We the People" which doesn't include you.
We would, however, like it to include you.

You know, now that I step back and really take a look at it, CIA really reminds me of a fuzzy little bunny.
Lets see, Google is a Corporation, and Corporations are generally evil.
Is anyone really suprised? Wasn't it determined that they're in bed with CIA?
Evil or no, it really all comes down to trust. Do you trust Google?
I don't.
I'm sure there are many who experience real fear when being faced with a taser. Fear and medical issues aren't normal components of training exercises. An officer would never be expected to endure a taser if he had any medical condition that could result in his death when mixed with a taser.

I seem to remember reading an article recently that claimed that chroot jails were not intended for security.

Naomi Wolf has a great book which touches on the dangers of the watch list and what it could mean to us. The End of America: Letter of Warning to a Young Patriot. She recently appeared with Stephen Colbert, but he's not serious about news, only serious about licking Bill O'Reillys boots.

This damned global warming has almost prevented me from putting a jacket on today. I recently read that the ozone holes near the north pole are getting smaller.
