Moveon.org is not Michael Moore. IMHO, Moveon.org has a lot more credibility than Moore. I receive their news letters, and they never ever leave a feeling of doubt that what they are doing is right. Moore is shady. Moveon.org back up their arguements with facts (the non-distorted type), and always conduct themselves professionally (i.e. not preaching at the Oscars). And I truely appreciate their use of the media - an integral part of the system - against the system.
If I'm missing something here let me know (as I'm sure somebody will). I've heard plenty of good arguements against Michael Moore, but I haven't yet heard a good arguement against Moveon.org.
The "lesser of the two evils" arguement and the anti-"lesser of the two evils" arguement are both holding less and less value.
Though "W" and Kerry may seem pretty much the same, it's the administrations that need changing more than anything else.
We've all seen what the current regime is capable of. They are pure evil. I do not think George W. Bush is pure evil. I don't think he's smart enough for that. But when you have advisors who lead you into evil, then the fun starts. It is worsened by the fact that Bush won't listen to anyone else. Not the "American People" (buzzword!), not the government, and certainly not the rest of the world.
This is where the difference between the two lie. I think Kerry would be more open to suggestion from watchdog groups like Moveon.org, as well as our allies.
Those that hate Bush but say they're going to vote for him because he's the lesser of two evils are either retarted or insane. One definition for insanity is doing the same thing twice and expecting a different result. I am a Green, and this year, Nader is not getting my vote. Nor will the Green Party candidate. Nor will Michael Badnarik. John Kerry is a douchebag but I'm voting for him anyway.
You should'a warned us you're linking to a porn site.
Given that there is no porn on the home page, only links, there was no need to. If you can't decide by then whether or not you should be there, that is not my problem. Secondly, it is not all porn. I've seen a lot of normal, no-nakedness pictures on there. Many are quite interesting.
Regardless, it's not the same thing at all. An unprotected gallery on photobucket is much more fair game than stealing someone's memory card and platering it all over the web.
No one stole anything. Where do you get off saying that? It was found. When you find something and it has no name on it, how the hell is that stealing? If I find 20 bucks on the ground, I'm not going around to world+dog and asking if it's theirs. That is fair game. The majority of the people on Photobucket and Live Journal who don't have thier pictures password protected are ignorant of that fact and don't think about the possible consequences. So therefore they should be taken advantage of? If we're sticking with your logic, then no they shouldn't.
Interesting you mention this. With this little device out now, it's seems as though MS forgot something. Or maybe they didn't, but it seems as thought they're focusing on USB more than anything else. Though Firewire isn't as prominent as USB, it's still a security flaw, and that leads me to believe that MS isn't all that interested in security as much as shoving some competitors out of the way.

I've been in a few bands before, played along-side a lot of bands, and one thing I noticed was, if a band is making a priority of getting famous and signed, and all that jazz, they're in it for the wrong reasons.
The bands who have done well (the one's I've seen at least), are doing it because they love it. They're thrilled that people are willing to pay them for it, but they'd do it even if they weren't getting payed.
I would love to argue with you, but since you have made no valid point, posted anonymously, and generally sound like an ass, I hope that "pussy" that you do find is an infected one and you get to share the fun!
... I would use Febreeze. 3 cheers to white-trash cleaning products! However, given the delicate electronics inside, why not try throwing some of that vaccuum powder stuff (the stuff you sprinkle on the floor before you vaccuum) at the intake fan while it's running. Then you can use some canned air to dust it off.
...gentoo's portage makes installation by far the easiest.
I have to pipe up and say that SuSE's YAST is really pretty simple as well. Unfortunately, it's not quite on the bleeding edge as a search for xorg turns up no results.
If I had the time, I would be doing the Gentoo thing. For now, I'll stick with my time-saver, SuSE.
My school (UNO) is currently implementing 10Gbps lines into the College of IS&T. However, being a sophomore, I don't get much chance to play. We've also got a super computer, and a lot of other fun toys. All that really was the selling point. The prospect of being able to eventually play with that stuff sold me instantly.
To hell with free iPods. If I want one of those (which I do), I'll go to FreeiPods.com. For a school to entice me, I don't want gimmicks or handouts, I want hands-on experience with bleeding-edge technology that I wouldn't get to touch otherwise.
I absolutely love the Pornzilla project! Not just for pr0n (though primarily for that), but for many other things as well. The zoom image button, increment page button, go to referrer button, hide visited links button... They all have non-pr0n uses too. Very cool stuff.
The only missing extension is "download all media." Kind of like Magpie, only something that actually works. Who knows, I'm learning Java this semester, so maybe I can bang something out. Man, those were choice words...
I imagine there's plenty of right-leaning stories that have been censored as well. Maybe you could start a site that deals specifically with those? Censorship is bad in any form. I may not agree with what you say, but by damnit, I'm glad you have the right to say it. At least this site is getting some of these things out there.
Much of the ill will regarding clinton came from his history. He stated that he "loathed the military", and subsequently dodged the draft.
Now, I can understand this sentiment. However, what I can't understand is why no one seems to mind that Dick Cheney dodged the draft in about every way he could think of, and W joined the Guard which was a good way to dodge it back in the day. Yet they are so highly revered for their "patriotism." Mmmmkaaay.
Military members can be prosecuted under the UCMJ for adultery alone; sexual indiscretions with a subordinate (ie. Miss Lewinsky) are even worse.
The funny thing about this (though it's not funny at all) is that when I was deployed (with the guard), this shit went on ALL THE TIME. The girls would give it up willingly, and in return? Would you believe an E-4 with 2 years in service got promoted to E-5 before one of my good friends who had 12 years in service? All because she had a nice rack. I can only speak for my deployment, but I have no doubt in my mind that this shit is military-wide. Clinton would have fit right in as an officer, or better yet, a warrant officer.
we haven't even started talking about his politics.
Yeah, like that horrible economy we had. Whew. And that deficit. And my God, those awful humanitarian projects... and on and on and on.
Not that I love Clinton, but W has done the one thing he couldn't do: Make Clinton look good.

Check out Fusker. Especially the photos from Photobucket and Live Journal. Those are worth checking out.
What have they lost?
Well, a memory card for one.
"...open source freezes innovation..."
Oh, thanks for the insight. I always thought it was Software Patents that froze innovation. Thanks for clearing that up.
Yeah. They totally sold out to the man.

So, yes, please; Support local music.
And the band Lagwagon did their own version from their album Let's Talk About Leftovers
I had [...] a lot of LCD panels laying around
WTF? I don't even have one in use. If having a bunch of LCDs laying around is a problem, ship them to me. I'll put them to good use!
Dear Mr. Coward,
I would love to argue with you, but since you have made no valid point, posted anonymously, and generally sound like an ass, I hope that "pussy" that you do find is an infected one and you get to share the fun!
Enjoy a nice self-loathing life.
Love,

When you're 18 you're going to delete the photos of your first lay? I don't THINK SO.

What kind of geek buys their computer gear at Wal-Mart?
The kind of geeks who can get it for free.
...I don't really see a "legitmate" reason for a service like this.
Maybe you're right. Maybe there is no legit reason. But the fact that it's not illegal is good enough for me.
