Wow man...you can make ludes? Far out, dude....make me some. I haven't had a lude in decades!
If people are looking at me "wrong" I will go out of my way to let them know it. That's what any "good" American would do.
You are a complete idiot. 1. "Lewd' is the word you are unsuccessfully looking for. 2. By your definition, there must not be many 'good' Americans. 3. Your attitude opens the door for me to to rip your arm off and shove it up your own ass after beating you to death with it when you make a lewd gesture to me.
I may not be able to teach you to respect your fellow citizens, but I can damn sure teach you to fear your betters, assclown!
P.S. free survival tip: Don't bring a lewd gesture to a gunfight, as you will very briefly regret your foolishness.
Also, learn the language you are trying (inadequately) to use, dumbass.

Automount has worked for me since Kubuntu 5.10, if I bothered to enable it...which I don't still with 9.04 Kubuntu...it's too easy to manually maount and avoid all of the 'autorun' exploits this way.

Not all authors and publishers ascribe to this mindset. Customer for their services/products is the correct term...quit subscribing to the marketing hyperbole prevalent that enables this 'consumer' crap that disables choice! Do you eat or drink the digital files? No! They are still available in their original form for infinite copies to download- you are only subscribing or purchasing as a customer of that service.
Consumer is a marketing term to enable the mindset of the customers to eliminate free choice and having a say in what and how they choose to purchase as a customer. Bottom line: if you are not eating or drinking it, you are a customer, not a consumer. Quit enabling this crippling mindset, as it is detrimental to society, and future business. I only consume as a customer in a pub or restaurant. Consuming has nothing to do with media, as the original copy is still available since I have not 'gobbled it up', thus making it unavailable to others. I don't 'consume' media...I either watch it, or listen to it, without affecting other's ability to do the same with that, or another infinite copy of said media.

Any subscription model that uses DRM will eventually come around the tree and bite you in the ass. See:Walmart's digital service, MS's 'plays for sure' tech that they did not support on their own Zune player, Napster's subscription service, Rhapsody, etc....
All of the 'subscription' models suffer this same fate of leaving the customer 'high and dry'.(another downside to the 'consumer' mentality)
Instead of supporting the 'content providers', switch to supporting the 'artists', even if it takes the form of downloading from TPB, then slipping the actual artists with some cash with a note on why you went this route. This misnomer that 'piracy' has a profound effect on the artist that has signed away his/their rights to the distributor is getting old and worn out. They typically sign away all rights to the distributor/label, and see slim, if any income from subsequent song/album sales. Support them directly! Send an irrefutable message to artists and distributors/labels! Trent Reznor and Radiohead, among others are starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel.

If you find a gal that is candid, then you will know that the similar stimulation factors involving the motorcycle's seat/vibration characteristics compare favorably to the seat/movement stimulus of a horse under saddle for said gal.

We did not get 3 miles from the shoot and she was suggesting us getting a motel room to 'work off' the excitement.
Get out to groups that share your interests, and talk to any interesting(to you) gals in those groups to find likely candidates for dates. Being turned down is just a filter to apply, not the end of the world, nor hope. Even if just talking to them gives you a platonic friend, that's still a plus!(hint:the more desperate you seem/act/come across as, the less chance you have. A wedding band caused me to need a baseball bat to keep them away right after I got married! Act somewhat aloof, but friendly to all for good results.
Somewhat shadier, but extremely successful, is if you have a friend that has a small child, especially a really cute 4-5 year old boy...offer to babysit, then take him grocery shopping. Make sure to take your 'little black book', as you will fill it before you get to the checkout line!!!!! My college roomate (female-it was a 'big brother/surrogate hubby relationship-purely platonic..she was a single Mom, 12 years my junior, but convenient for us both at the time to 'set up house' together-we had separate social lives) had such a son, so I know it works(see shopping/babysitting tip above...I was exhibiting a 'nurturing/protective' attitude that long-term relationship gals were looking for subconsciously. apparently, and they came in droves and flocks!
I have found other effective techniques, but the bottom line: 1. stick to the truth at all times, it's much easier to remember 'one true story' that subsequent inquiries will inevitably expose/uncover, thus corroborate...it will happen! 2. avoid bars/clubs as 'girl shopping' areas, unless you are a 'knight in shining armor', and can afford to put up with the complications tha always seem to arise...still recommended against, but YMMV.

Perhaps I am completely wrong but it seems like China is giving preferential treatment to the Chinese owned competitor to Google, Baidu, by not taking it to task for the same offending practices, even though it holds a lead over Google in searches in China. I certainly would not put it above China to be using government intervention to give favor to Chinese company.
This is likely a part of the issue. China has a history/tradition of being isolationist and xenophobic of other cultures and societies, with an attitude of superiority. China has a long and much copied culture that has a tendency to back those attitudes, but is now having to experience 'growing pains' trying to establish itself as a 'player' in the modern global setting that most of the rest of the world is participating in.
I notice this same issue with many Middle Eastern nations trying to come into the modern global world setting.(between the Middle East and China...two of the oldest cultures around) Maybe all of that ancient culture induces a mindset that is detrimental to easily adapting to the modern world?

In the context of that reply to the parent poster, I also share that viewpoint that you voiced.
However, the former "RIAA' lawyers appointed to the 'white House' have seemed to be leaning the other direction lately.
I have usually divided lawyers into four categories: 1. Ambulance chasers/Political Activists[Jack Thompson] 2. Mercenary lawyers...money and prestige go hand-in-hand[RIAA] 3. Idealists that become practical[NYCL] 4. Idealists that try to be Philosophers[Judges} *note: #4 is not limited to personal bias and beliefs, but is affected here!*
I expected the worse, but was side-tracked here...I suspect #2, but am open to a more 'enlightened' approach.

Research the career, or ending of, 'Jack Thompson'.
Your/. UID leads me to think you might be trolling, but I will give you the benefit of doubt here.
Long story>short: Jack got himself dis-barred from practicing as a lawyer for his ass-clown behavior in court, and with presiding judges.
Check it out for yourself, maybe start with a wiki search for 'dis-barred lawyers+USA[or insert relative terms/countries]'...use your imagination.
Damn, 'preview' is cool. Sorry if I came off as harsh...that was not my intention at all. I tend to be terse, and try for precise. Add a 'fuzzy bunny' filter to the above, and my sincere apologies for any misunderstanding.:-)
Well, maybe by the financial yardstick, but on the karmic yardstick you are light years ahead. I guess it all boils down to what is important to a person that determines which yardstick they use to measure worth/achievement in their lives, and what they want to accomplish.
It's all a matter of perspective, expectations, and goals. I admire your balance between reality/practicality, and your ideals....Hat's Off to ya!

We may not always agree between us, but in this case: Right Fscking On, Bro!
I was irrevocably hooked here:
...and then when its done we'll have us a real nice BBQ with Memphis sauce on Texas steer, wash it down with Tennessee sipping whiskey, and relax afterwards with some good Arkansas pot or a nice Virginia ceegar.
It don't get any better than that!
Actually in HS my black buds bought just as much "rebel" gear as we white boys did. in fact my buddy Eric had a favorite shirt which was a rebel flag muscle shirt. Lord he wore that thing until it was threadbare. While some old Klan asshole may want to use our flag in that manner, most of the younger generation here look at it as the "hey we're southern and it shore do piss of them damned yankees!" flags.
Yeah, that's my observation also.
Damn Yankees keeping their heads in the past. Over the past several/three decades, the "Stars and Bars" have evolved to represent the individual State's rights trumping Federal abuses of State's rights...it's no longer tied strictly[YMMV] to the Confederate States of America, and all that the Confederacy stood for in the 1860's.
It's a whole new world out there, and the South has adapted/adopted.[hint:research Huntsville, AL; Houston, TX, etc.some of the 'highest of the high-tech' centers/research/manufacturing is in the 'good old South': researched, managed, manufactured, launched, controlled, put into Space, do 'the job'[latest is to repair/upgrade Hubble!], return to Earth, and pickup better than taxi service in NYC!]
I've lived and worked in yankee territory, but am glad to be back out of their traditional areas.
P.S.NYC and 'Regular' coffee, WTF!!??!!??! 'Regular coffee' should be just plain coffee!! Lay off of the cream/milk and sugar. If I want that in in my coffee, I will elaborate: me:"coffee, any Ethiopian blend', Hot!" coffeemaker/marketer: 'Regular, or 'Black'? me:'WTF?!?!?!? I want just plain fscking coffee, you moron!! coffeemaker/marketer:'Is that a 'Plain Black Ethiopian Blend', with or without the moron, cream, and sugar? me: 'Uhm....nevermind. BTW, do you have aa 'restroom' I can use?
I may be a 'Down South Redneck', but I also have an I.Q. of 173[for whatever little that is worth], and several Degrees(A.A.S. in Veterinary Technology...think Registered Nurse/Physician's Assistant for 'critters', and a B.S. in Biochemistry, with a strong physics background from interests and hobbies. But it's a handy, if inaccurate Strawman for the damn yankees to throw out as FUD.

Hear! Hear!
We may not always agree between us, but in this case:
Right Fscking On, Bro!
I was irrevocably hooked here:
...and then when its done we'll have us a real nice BBQ with Memphis sauce on Texas steer, wash it down with Tennessee sipping whiskey, and relax afterwards with some good Arkansas pot or a nice Virginia ceegar.
It don't get any better than that!
Yeah, that's my observation also.
Damn Yankees keeping their heads in the past.
Over the past several/three decades, the "Stars and Bars" have evolved to represent the individual State's rights trumping Federal abuses of State's rights...it's no longer tied strictly[YMMV] to the Confederate States of America, and all that the Confederacy stood for in the 1860's.
It's a whole new world out there, and the South has adapted/adopted.[hint:research Huntsville, AL; Houston, TX, etc.some of the 'highest of the high-tech' centers/research/manufacturing is in the 'good old South':
researched, managed, manufactured, launched, controlled, put into Space, do 'the job'[latest is to repair/upgrade Hubble!], return to Earth, and pickup better than taxi service in NYC!]
I've lived and worked in yankee territory, but am glad to be back out of their traditional areas.
P.S. NYC and 'Regular' coffee, WTF!!??!!??!
'Regular coffee' should be just plain coffee!!
Lay off of the cream/milk and sugar. If I want that in in my coffee, I will elaborate:
me:"coffee, any Ethiopian blend', Hot!"
coffeemaker/marketer:
'Regular, or 'Black'?
me:'WTF?!?!?!? I want just plain fscking coffee, you moron!!
coffeemaker/marketer:'Is that a 'Plain Black Ethiopian Blend', with or without the moron, cream, and sugar?
me: 'Uhm....nevermind.
BTW, do you have aa 'restroom' I can use?
I may be a 'Down South Redneck', but I also have an I.Q. of 173[for whatever little that is worth], and several Degrees(A.A.S. in Veterinary Technology...think Registered Nurse/Physician's Assistant for 'critters', and a B.S. in Biochemistry, with a strong physics background from interests and hobbies.
But it's a handy, if inaccurate Strawman for the damn yankees to throw out as FUD.
*Hey, Y'all, watch this!!!*

Or, something stupid. [note: it 'looks like' gogole is trying to 'parse' this
Afterward, religious kooks rule the depopulated midwest,...
They may start to depopulate the midwest, but I will finish it for them, as they are first on the 'depopulation list'.
I've been outnumbered before...I am still alive and kicking, but my enemies are wormfood.
(STASI bastards!)
If she's old enough to ride a bus, she's old enough to remember a cell phone number...
If she can remember a cell phone number, why not have her memorize her bus number so none of this becomes an issue in the first place?
Treat the disease, not the symptoms!
'What's next, will Scientologists have to wear yellow, six-pointed stars on our clothing?'
Nah, a dunce hat and groucho glasses would be fine.
I think you have a cool idea. Positively Admirable!
Also, I imagine I'm not the only one that would donate some funds to help with shipping costs if you had a way to implement it on your blog.
P.S. I've bookmarked your site to keep up with this project. :-)
Your joke would probably be funny if you were given a choice between IE and Lynx...
I guess it's a good thing that the world does not revolve around you and your opinion.
It was funny, in spite of your ideals.
Almost nothing, as the local gas stations set prices to match others.
Do you actually consume gasoline?
I personally find the taste and health risks detrimental to consuming petroleum products, but apparently, YMMV.
