I am not sure that I want a high-level official at my bank to be a fan of Stallamn... banks and the FSF seem to be inherrantly antogonistic to each other. Even if he is just a tech guy, it does not bode well.

Fingerprinting our European cousins is not going to solve anything. We ought to lock down the border with military and militia, and keep out all arabs. Only Muslims are terrorists. IRA and ETA are fighting for a return of soveriegnty over their homelands. Islam is a virus that exists only to propogate and infect the whole world. They will not rest until all of us are on prayer rugs bowing to Mecca. They do not care if we are conservative or liberal, Irish, English, African or Souix. All they care is that we are infidels. The only solution is to strike hard, fast, and preemptively in order to remove the threat of Islam which exists only as an instrument of Satan in order to undermine western, civilized, christian society. They fear enlightenment, truth, and freedom. We cannot win but to eliminate them, like multiplying both sides of an equation by zero -- no more problem; problem solved.
I believe islam to be fundimentally evil and it must be stopped. I believe the Crusades need to be finished due to the fact that we kept backing off when so near the goal the first time around. I want freedom and strict constructionalist interpretation of the constitution here, but i seriously don't give a shit about those camel-feltching assmonkeys in the middle east. We should just kill them all and take the petrol. I believe the use of nuclear weapons is justified, especially after wednesday's horrible display of inhumanity. The whole Suni Triangle ought to be ignited in a neutron-bomb carpet attack and kill EVERY LAST ONE OF THEM . These people we are fighting are immoral, inhuman little Satans who all deserve death and nothing less. Screw Gitmo, what we need is Auschwitz for these mother fuckers. However, I saw no reason to get involved in Bosnia, Kosovo, Somolia, Haiti, WW1 or WW2 (at least not until Britain was rolled over, beat into a bloody pulp, and gasping her final breaths -- then we could come in and save her ass and demand the Irish Republic and an end to partition as the cost of her own freedom from Germany). Korea and Vietnam, as battle grounds of the cold war were debatable. Obviously, handling them via the UN was the cause of failure. Nuclear weapons should have been used on China durring the Korean war as MacArthur wanted: Then we wouldn't need to still have troops over there after 50 years.
Under the guise of April Fools Day, trolling goes.
However, while I wrote it in heat-of-the-moment let off of steam which has been building for a long while, I am mostly sincere. I am an absolutly strict constructionist. The job the federal government isn't to actually DO anything, but occasionally build an army for a short term, run the navy, and make sure the states don't tarriff each other. The president isn't supposed to have an agenda or a platform. He's supposed to shut up and execute the laws. that is why it's called the executive branch. The Judicial branch isn't supposed to try and make laws, just make sure they are upheld in court. Legal precidents are bullshit. Roe v. Wade only applys to those individuals. Washington urged us not to enter into binding treaties or alliances. I don't think we have an obligation to cooperate with any nation. I think we can roll over whomever we can get away with if and when it appears expediant to do so. I believe in preemptive self defense on the scale of nations and states. But it's not like i'd go and shoot someone who looked like a burglar before they burgled. However, if someone breaks into my home, they are not breaking out, unless on the end of a.30cal hollowpoint from a Norinco MAC-90 assault rifle, and then only straight to hell. The only reason I care about Ireland is because despite the fact that my earliest American ancesters left Cork in 1670 for Virginia where I still live, I got updated with fammine blood and have still lots of cultural herritage. If I were a WASP, I wouldn't give two shits about an "international community." I care about local and state politics. the Fed is supposed to be limited and unobtrusive. I am completely anti-UN, find the EU to be a rather sad evolution (I am quite fond of Europe (not that i give a shit about european opinion of american politics) and hate to see it go to pots like that and lose character or national sovereignty), and am even concidering leaving the Catholic Church just to keep myself for being a hypocrit for refusing to vote for Jews due to their international ties with one another to appear to undermine their patriotism to host nations (such was the argument against JFK -- "he'll be ruled by the pope!" -- well, i refuse to support Isreal and I don't want Virginia, or the several states to be sold out on their account). Note: I have Jewish friends, and know many Jews. the fact that I dislike most of them is independent of their jewishness. therefor, I contend that I am not anti-semetic.
So, in short, i am not a tool. I just understand the way things should be. I read the constitution, declaration, federalist papers, and associated texts as a bible scholar would the old testiment. But believe me, bullshit laws and court decisions do not a new testiment equal. I respect the right of others to decent, however the modern liberal establishment has politicized everything and it disgusts me. Many things ought to be above politics. The office of the President is one, whether from the inside or the out. War is another.
disclaimer: i tried out that being a commie radical liberal thing. Only thing is, I could only make myself nominally believe in the economics but not in any of the egalitarian world-peace bullshit.
What exactly do you left-wing psychos have against Bush and the war effort? Seriously. Saddam was a bad guy. So what if the war was over oil anyway. He was a bad guy, and now he's gone. Law of the jungle, baby (as you liberals are so pro-environment, you ought to respect that): the strongest survive. If we have the power to take what resources we need, then go USA. I have incredible respect for Rome. I think we ought to engage in wars just for profit. We ought to loot, raid, plunder, and pillege.
I am a Christian. I believe in Freedom, Liberty, and the Republican ideals of limited, representative government set out by our forefathers. However, I believe in those things for citizens and citizens only.
I don't believe in a standing army, but i see no reason not to raise armies for the "campaign season," go off and say, pillege Gaul, perhaps take some volunteers to garrison, and set out an empire. It seems perfectly legitimate to me. However, it's not going to happen, so who cares? A guy can dream, can't he?
However, liberal left-wingers seem to think that Saddam is more acceptable than GW Bush. Why is that? Seriously -- I cannot understand the logic behind the liberal mindset. While I am what would be concidered a "classical liberal," modern (post-Kennedy) liberalism is such a scarey, Marxist-in-sheep's-clothing sort of thing that I really cannot understand why anyone would support this.
What really pisses me off though, is that assuming that it's a valid point of view, why do you hide from it? Come out and just say that your goal is global socialism and world government. Come out and say that you are not tollerant of intollerance and think that everyone should be forced to accept everyone else reguardless. Come out and say that the average, hardworking american trying to get ahead and live the life that God intended is "double plus un-good."
You god damned eurocrat appeaser UN-Ball lickers make me sick. I swear, if Billery Clinton ever runs for president, I will pray day and night for her assassination, because i refuse to let New Yorkers have a say in my daily life. I am certainly not going to let some French son of a bitch even be allowed think about what I do here. And it'll be a cold day in hell before anyone takes my guns or forces me to take orders from some god damned Marxist-Leninist Africoon like the current Furher of the United Nations.
If anyone can do it, I'd suspect Google could. I'd not put it past them to make a serious attempt if they had that kind of capital.
But, seriosuly, April Fool's Day is the stupidest god damned holiday ever. And we geeks are particularly pathetic at attempting to be "funny" for it. I mean..."come on." -- Jimmy.
but seriously, i would not be surprised if some enterprising young dork with not girlfriend (looks around suspiciously...one of us?) ports NetBSD to the GameBoy... or maybe my TI89....it does have better specs than the originial Macintosh, after all..
"free speech" in the context of the first amendment was intended to mean fredom of political speech, ie, freedom to criticise the government. I am not sure that pointing out exploits in software comes under "free speech," not that i really care because i have little-no interest in the subject. However, I read the constitution and related texts as if they were the bible. While quite frankly it would be a rather bullshit instance of legislation (which the federal government does on an almost daily basis (the fact they're really not supposed to do much of anything being rather apparant to anyone who actually reads the founding documents)) not withstanding, i expect that it would hold up under judicial review for this fact (although i want to know who gave the judicial branch the de juris power of review). Not to troll, i'm just saying.
yes, because the people refused to do anything. Why? I suspect the Iraqies actually supported Saddam. A great number of Germans supported Hitler, after all, and we are for all intents and purposes dealing with the same basic person.
the first amendment was first because it is those rights which are most often exercised in a free and civil society. The 2nd Amendment is 2nd because it is that right which keeps a society free and civil -- only the threat of arms keeps governments honest. If you really believe we'd still have free elections in the USA without a substantial number of armed citizens, then I hope you're very happy in Cuba, China, Nazi Germany, the USSR, et cetera.
well, he was flying when they came to visit. i guess i mixed that up with the fact that he died. i was 10 in 1994, so i wasn't exactly "clued in" fuck...i am as old as the Macintosh!!! that's a sobering thought..
I'll likely get flamed to hell and moded out of existance, but I believe every word of this: Gary Kildale died in a plane crash and never got the chance to give CP/M to IBM. Without Microsoft getting DOS for IBM, Intel never would have gained the marketshare. Linus would not have been hacking on the 386 and needing badly to break the confines of what he had available. Therefor, the likelihood of Linux existing today would be significantly lower. It may not have happened. You might still be waiting for HURD (or, more likely, using BSD). Hell, Intel woulde never have gotten so popular. You all might all be on using Macintoshes right now like I am. Microsoft's products might suck, but they made Intel hardware the comodoty that it is today in order that you can afford to tinker with Linux or whatever it is you want to do.
I always insist Jabberwokie is in fact their best work. I believe it possibly is the least viewed. I have rarely met anyone else who has ever seen it. This allows me to make broad, sweeping, absolute statements than without opposition as no one has any evidence that it isn't the best. I do honestly feel this way about Jabberwokie. It's not just me being difficult (although I often enjoy that).
IE, I do not pay attention. I have an addiction to Slashdot, that no matter how hard I try and get off of it, I cannot stop reading Slashdot. I know it is sad, but what else can I say? I don't get out much and this is social interaction for me. My girlfriend goes to school an hour away from me, so I only see her on weekends. but yes, in highschool i was rather involved, plus working at the Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility, plus comp sci in college (which i quit pursuing, as per the article from last night, bot not due to Indian job theft).
i am no longer in the IT world, so forgive my ignorance, but is IBM really that much of a player in the server market anymore? Also, don't they use PowerPC processors and AIX. Does SuSE have a PowerPC port? I thought it was purely Intel.
