Im not quite sure why i was modded out to obscurity for my post but i can say its very disheartening. I made a simple point, most likely this election was robbed by for the welfare of a one party system backed by one of the largest corporations in the world (News Corp) based on valid evidence and the fact that 1) our president has lied to us before (War in Iraq) and actually is poster boy for a movement that says lying to the people is totally acceptable as long as 'its in their own interest.' (strassian neocons), 2) he stole the last election which has been shown quite clearly by Palast in 2002. Im sorry if i seem overrated because im extremely frightened by the facsism that is becoming popular in this country no matter how rationally it seems to becoming popular. It still doesnt make it right and i wont stop fighting its unfairness, im sorry no one else here is interested in helping me fight for that fairness and equality...
Really.... hmmmm ok so 256 (what Kery got officially) plus 20 (Ohio's electoral vote count) equals..... 269!!!!!!! OF COURSE. Thanks for pointing that out.
Well there was an election four years ago where a candidate won the popular vote but didnt win the electoral vote, why should this year be any different? Actually if Kerry wins Ohio OR Florida, he is the new president and we would see a candidate who had less 3.5 MILLION votes and still become president. Then we could hear the Republicans screaming for four years how the electoral college MUST be abolished. Which it should, and that new issue of Wired with the cool CD has a great piece on competing voting schemes!
Bush Hijacked the election and we have to live with the consequence for Four More Years because nobody is going to anything to fight it. What else is there to say...? The most infamous one so far is Kerry Won. I live in the state of flordia and i know how floridians think. This state is democrat period. The polls on the last week even showed it. And so did the Exit Polling. And please save me the Liberal Whining as the former site is non-partisan, and of course the liberals will show that this election was robbed again because they would be the only ones who have interest to prove it!
I highly recommend anyone who doesnt think the US has total intention to not only militarize outer space but also to totally dominate including who comes and goes from the Earth by the inclusion of space platforms and other methods should watch Arsenal of Hypocrisy and reconsider. The governments of the world cannot allow the US to do this or they will be completely beholden to US contorl on space travel.
Steven Colbare (sp?) said it best last night. All this talk of healing the nation and harmonizing our conflicting points of view is bullshit. So i for one say, not on your life, fatty. No way fatty fat fat mcgee. I will not congratulate a complete moron for duping a nation of bigger morons into voting for destroying the very freedom this nation was founded on.
i say port over twm, really use the power of the gamecube graphics there:). JK, im a kde user when i go gui so just for the fun factor i hope they get this going.
sure, it means they can do this stuff more in the open, but that doesn't mean that they weren't doing it before anyway
Ohhhhhhh, they were doing it before _anyway_. That makes it ok then right? So see that is the purpose of dissent and citizen action. You oppose it when its illegal and you oppose it when its legal. Just because it IS legal, doesnt make it right. Which is becoming the ways of many many laws in the US.
american corporations/government will never let something free like linux to take such a market-share that it would shut microsoft down.
Actually you'd be hard-pressed to topple Linux. Of course its being attempted now, but it wont succeed because there is no legal basis for it. The only block to Linux or any open source option to take hold is a very prevalent American view which says essentially, the more you pay for something, the better it is. Or at least, If its free, it cant be good. And the people are becoming more and more stubborn it seems in their assertions to the point where no matter how many facts you present to show otherwise say in the case of Linux, they still wont believe you. I dont know the solution to showing the corporate dominated OS market is not necessarily the best. Other than using non-corporate OS'es and advocating their use.
american corporations hold us back
i am would suspect i tend more towards a socialist view of things, but im not anti-capitalist. The thing is corporations dont HAVE to hold us back, and really they dont. They merely control the direction of progress by controlling the progress of technology. If we democratized technology which is a very necessary step in global society, this monopolization of technology would end. But most would claim thats what a communist would say. It all boils down to propaganda.
Actually a better bet is the recently mentioned iRiver PMP-1X0 series which runs a linux kernel. They have a ton more options for video playback and look a little cooler than the GMini imo. Which bringing this back OT is the only thing the iPod has going for it anymore (style). And being the first out of the gate. But now, the iPod-killer label has drifted out of use slightly since it doesnt need to be killed. Its slowly becoming a competitor working hard to keep its market share. This because enthusiats dont really care about the iPod out there since there are SO many options out there now.

UF is my alma mater as well. I currently work in and around the Mcknight Brain Institute where this experiment likely took place. More specifically on the fifth floor. But you need an authorized badge to let you in and dont come asking me for any special favors because i wont help. Nonetheless, the Brain Institute there is probably one of UF's most advanced research centers. The other thing we are known for is our major studies into Posilac(tm) by Monsanto which we rubber stamped as being completely safe for human consumption, so we dont always get everything right. Oh yea, and gatorade. Ok there's a lot of stuff actually. John Slater (deceased) worked here too who came up with Slater's rules. I need to stop here i could go on for awhile actually.....
XM doesnt work in large hulking structures made of concrete or thick metal. Passing under bridges loses the signal, driving inside a concrete parking garage also, and if you live in a brownstone or large scale apartment complex, its useless unless the antenna is outside on the roof at least. If yr home is a wooden/vinyl siding or balloon frame or such, yr fine. XM has tons of great options and the features or great, but i dont see it making a huge impact in the personal audio department, more of a car audio system imo.
As far as Spitzer goes, he seems to be doing a great job battling corruption throughout NY. I've been impressed with how much he is accomplishing.
Theres been some gossip in the political world that Spitzer has some aspirations well beyond NY Attorney General. And i agree with you, his work has been a major benefit to the state and some instances this country. He is hugely popular in the state too. I dont know if President is on his list, i can say i would vote for him... but whatever he does i think its gonna be big. Maybe possible Senate seat after Clinton runs in 2008...
Forget Murphy's Law, why cant Moore's Law win out at NASA?! I want to see the time it takes to get to Mars HALVE every ten years... Hmmm, i guess then Murphy's Law would be second in this case tho so it might be extremely dangerous for the crew.
Your tax dollars at work.... let old, rich, military leaders play video games. Oh, Oh, right but its for national security. Hmmmmm how much do i get for finally beating Doom3 then?

Ok, i get, but i still say its as improbable as Bush winning the election fairly.
Ok, sorry this is important, that typo is not 256 but 252
Really.... hmmmm ok so 256 (what Kery got officially) plus 20 (Ohio's electoral vote count) equals..... 269!!!!!!! OF COURSE. Thanks for pointing that out.
Why dont we bother to count them to find out? Or do you just not care who really won the election? BTW how do you figure 77%? 136,482/247,672 = 55%...

And dont forget if you pass under bridges, go indoors, or a plane flys by right thru the feed. You lose signal... Sounds good to me.
