Communism was invented after the Amish were well established. Their roots go back to the killing fields of Switzerland and the Anabaptists.
The Anabaptists believed in a radical almost hippy-like form of Christianity. They were a very large threat to the power-mongers of the day. And so the Lutherins, the Catholics and the Calvinists, (who were at war with each other) all agreed to slaughter the Anababtists.
The Anababtists then dispersed throughout Eastern Europe. After a time a lot of them ended up in America. They are not and never were Communists. They do not currently work to destroy the system of Capitalism. They are hard-working members of society for the most part and are not envious of the wealthy and powerful.
This is how I see it. Anyone who is actually a Menonite or Amish want to comment?
The way that the health care system is bleed is insidious. There are shell companies that hire other shell companies, issue bonds, default on the bonds.
The elderly are put on every drug a doctor can think of and the government picks up the check.
Meanwhile millions of us have no healthcare at all.
One could make the arguement that any profit in health care above a certain amount means that the entity making the profit is not working for the public good. And so a lot of so-called not for profit hospitals are being sued by public interest groups who argue that these so-call not for profit hospitals no longer meet the requirements for being tax exempt charities.
So, the system is trying to work. But very powerful people have planned to live for free off of these so-called charity hospitals. And for that reason they have bought off the politicans and regulators. It is similar to what has happened with copyright and patent law. The powerful game the system.
I was just curious. There are many more things that one can do with a computer than just use it for graphics. As a matter of fact there are a lot of systems that don't have graphics in them at all.
Thank you for answering my question. I have never had experience with either OSX or BSD.
And that is why I said runlevel 3 like command line.
And so even though your response seemed a little bit insulting you still answered my question.
Kids are taught the abstraction of functions in f(t) when the world is more logically understood in f(s). The time domain was charted mathematically first, but it is far more abstract than the frequency domain. An equation in f(t) is a fantasy because no one will be around at infinite time, and noone was around at -infinity time. But for frequency everyone can hear a frequency.
When running Redhat Linux and having problems setting up the graphics hardware, there is runlevel 3. This is set in the initab file I think.
When configuring graphics hardware you can set this runlevel so that the system will not load Xwindows. If you want to mucky around with the Xwindows intialization it is possible to ssh over to the box and change the X windows initialization files. Or you can do it from a command line which is what you get at runlevel 3 in Redhat. I was wondering if there is the same kind of thing on a MAC. Or does it not matter because it is all propriatory? This is a very important feature when you have stated in use the wrong device drivers.
finally a grammer nazi who admits it!

If you read the WSJ you will find out about things that you won't find elsewhere.
Even if you aren't a business man don't discount what they print.
For example the shell game that venture firms play with healthcare companies can be intuited from reading their finance pages. Try to find a decent article on the subject. Basically there is enough money being spent on healthcare, but a large part is bled off to shell companies. I was able to conclude this by reading the WSJ.
When I spec out software I like to do it modularly. Some would call this object oriented, but I think that object oriented is a specific type of modular programming.
And then for each module you have well defined behavior. You can contract or shop out the various pieces. And that way you can have parts that will work for what they are supposed to do, and other parts that need one more time through the design spiral.
It would be like if you designed a car, you don't cut the car from a single piece of metal. You have various systems, braking, power train, fuel system, etc. If any one part doesn't fulfill it's requirements, then you can still use the other parts. That is how I also design software.
What they have here seems like people who didn't design the stuff with rigourous requirements documents. There must be some part of this system that they can salvage.
If it is put into a wiki, then there will need to be someone who is responsible with verifying the various items. Corporations are notorious litigacious.
I maintain that Capitalism from a micro economic point of view is a description of how people behave.
On a macro level it turns into a set of rules and regulations.
I also think that, for the most part, the system works as well as the people who are really in charge are honest and not just out for themselves, but do their real duty and fulfill the requirements of their offices.
I have the same kind of righteous indignation towards people who foster civil wars, drain chemicals everywhere, rob everyone in sight etc. But, honestly, doesn't this happen in any system regardless of the form of finance?
I believe that you have issues with the way that corporate governance works. However, the controls in place are doing what they are supposed to do. If they were not we would never hear about things such as Enron, Haliburton, or whatever other finance scandal is current in the press. It would all be covered up.
I think that there is a certain element of the super-wealthy who would love to have a return to the days of Fuedalism. In their minds they are still the ruling class. But these people want to do this without any responsibility. And the current system of corporate governance can be considered Corporate Fuedalism.
But in terms of quid pro quo, capitalism works. I give you this, you give me that. Simple.
The matter of corruption in corporate finance is an important concern of anyone who wants accoutability in the way things are run. I had had authored your post I would change the word capitalism in the first sentance to modern corporate finance.
It isn't easy for these people to regulate these complex markets. And for the most part the explosion of technology has resulted from the activities of these markets. It is regretable that they have corruption. And if you have any ideas that can make them better, then I am sure that are people who will listen to you and consider what you say.
They live off the coast of Maine on a small Island where everyone knows everyone else.
And chances are that they are old money.
I am sure that everyone on that tiny Island would like to know who the jerk is. So he doesn't want anyone to know.
I think that the problem of name usurpation is serious enough that there ought to be some kind of way to prevent people from doing it.
In this case the guy sent hateful emails that he tried to attribute to someone else. It was a sleezey thing to do. I hope they find out who did it. This doesn't seem like a freedom of speech issue, or even freedom of expression.
You could wire the whole place, everyone could have their own connection. screw the wireless, it isn't working for them, one person pays for the ISP with a broadband connection. use DHCP, and pay for just one ISP between all 20 of them.
Wireless seems like a good idea, getting rid of all of those cables, but it just doesn't always work as this topic indicates.
The continents are continuously colliding and then separating. For example, North America and Africa collide millions of years ago and then when they separated, the coast line was west of New England. Then it happened again (millions of years later) and the coast line went along the Delaware river, up the Hudson, Up through Lake Champlaign, and through the Saint Lawrence River. Then it happened again which left New England, New Jersey, The Georges Bank, Nova Scotia.
I was on the National Map and noticed that there was a giant crater shape at Pawtuckaway State Park in New Hampshire. It looked very interesting. It is the remnants of an ancient volcano. New England used to be an island chain like Japan is. There are all kinds of extinct volcanos here which is where you find giant quartz inclusions. I have seen blocks of quartz that are the size of my desk. I know where there are quarries in which you can find all kinds of very cool minerals. Giant mica sheets, huge crystals of beryl, quartz, etc. This is a result of the volcanism that used to be here.
Very cool. If you are interested in this may I suggest that you search the web for geologic maps?
Also you can search for maps of the sea floor. I won't link these becasue I don't want these sites to be slash-dotted.
Some very cool stuff is very free and on the web. Also, the USGS has some very cool sites that show earthquakes.
According to Dr. Issac Asimov in his book Astronomy the Earth and the Moon are a double planet in that they bot orbit the Sun.
They dance around each other as they orbit the Sun and the Moon always moves forward. So I am not sure that the orbit of the Moon will change due to microsecond deviation of the rotation of the Earth.

What was the reason for dos4?
It did nothing.
It was nothing.
It cost the government millions.
The reason for an upgrade can be as simple as a greedy company.
I was just curious.

Music is very easy for some people.
If you sit a kid in front of piano at a very early age then music will be very easy for that child.

The lawyers simply can not fit inside of the lightbulb. They will have to screw outside of it.
That is a variation of an old California joke:
How many Northern Californians does it take to screw in a light bulb?
None: Northern Californians will screw in the hot tub.
Awareness is very disturbing to people who want to remain blissful in their ignorance.
Sad, isn't it.

When there is a black program the agency running it might say the money goes to pay for A when actually it funding B, C, D .
With classified programs you never know what they are really doing.
And I do not want to know either.
They would have to then release the code.
That would make the system insecure.

There is a very old addage that says if you want to lead you have to know how to follow.
It is true that there are a lot of bad managers. You must have experienced a few.
However, a good manager intuits who has what skills and then they trust that person and follow.
A good manager is a great leader.
I noitced years ago that straight guys love to play the large breasted women characters.
When my friends would play Mortal Combat they would always choose the women.
Well, you know what he didn't have.
