'Mixing' of groups of people is hugely advantageous for this reason.
True, to a certain extent. But if you compare certain "general" groups of "genetic pools of humans" you can not deny that certain races have it better then others. This has to do with adaptation to one's environment. Because I don't expect an educated reply I'll try to give someone out there something educated to use in a tactful rebuttal; it could be fair to say that comparing one region to another is not the only thing that shapes various races.
The problem with this would be that genetic diversity could hardly ever increase...
So dinosaurs on different continents never evolved differently? Your argument is limited at best. Perhaps introduced traits are not desirable...again look at the overall conditions of people and understand why one group may not want to blend with another.
Thirdly, by separating the societies it would become genetically/evolutionarily advantageous for one race to think of or treat the others as subhumans.
True, Jews are trying to get rid of the Palestinians for that very reason. When was the last time you met a black Jew? Hmm....
Maybe there are 'black' people in commercials because they actually are a TARGET DEMOGRAPHIC of the business? Or is it your belief that business doesn't serve black people?
I'll say it again, people don't naturally mix. If you are race A and saw two groups of people, a group of race A and a group of race B and you knew you had to spend the rest of your life with the group you chose which would it be? I don't mind black people in commercials, I do however have a sharp distaste for intentional suggestions every day that mixing is somehow natural. Obviously most of the people replying don't understand what they are looking at.
According to the Oxford English Dictionary, racism is a belief or ideology that all members of each race possess characteristics or abilities specific to that race, especially to distinguish it as being either superior or inferior to another race or races.
Ok, and I called myself a racist or are you calling me one? I never said I or my race (whatever you choose to believe it may be) are superior. There is no denying that each race posses at least characteristics more often then not. I don't know too many pale Africans and race (as most people replying) is hardly about just skin color.
This is exactly why intermarriage between groups with different genetic makeups is good. Only marrying within your own ethnic group only allows the susceptibility to certain diseases (like Sickle-cell disease [wikipedia.org], which is caused by a recessive gene) to be passed on generation to generation. This hurts you, not helps you. This is totally ignoring the fact that there's generally more genetic diversity within a single race/ethnic group than there is between different ones. Race as we know it today is just as much cultural as it is genetic.
First you argued against it and then you support it, which will it be? Always press preview before you post so that you can get your point across clearly please.
That doesn't make any sense to me. When people with different genes mix you end up with a new combination that didn't exist before thus creating more diversity, not less.
Wrong: You loose genetic distinction of existing groups. If you read any of the women's magazines you'll see people who benefit from race mixing promoting racially mixed couples as "progressive". What happens when we are all the same bland race? Then we'll simply have no distinction, be all the same, and oh yeah, have no sense of culture. Those sorts of people will have little reason to unite, they won't have a common identity/culture (and all cultures doesn't count as a culture) that distinguishes them from others. Additionally if all the races mixed we'd all share the exact same strengths and weaknesses. With ever
With different and distinct cultural groups it gives humanity more variations on how to resist diseases and other health afflictions with varying results. One race/culture may resist one disease yet be weak to another.
The ability to travel is the biggest natural evolutionary threat of "oneness". The second biggest threat are the people who through the media continue to suggest this mixing is natural when it is not. You can see plenty of suggestive propaganda if you actually look for it such as every commercial has a black person just for the sake of "diversity" or mixed couples in women's magazines being promoted as "progressive". The people who sell this sort of propaganda of course don't value different cultures, it's "politically correct" and if we all loose our cultural distinctions we will be much weaker not only genetically (and I say that about all races) but also as groups of people in general in the future. The true racists are the ones who would prefer there to be theirs and then one giant undefined blob. From my understanding those racists are defined as cultural Marxists.
Two reasons I do not use my purchased Vista...
1.) The GUI isn't 98SE compatible. I don't have cut/copy/paste buttons in Windows Explorer with text labels and icons. Some people may think that's stupid but it severally hurts my ability to work efficiently in numerous situations where it's more convenient. The problem WAS a "new" GUI or more specifically a modified version of it.
2.) Inability to manage resources. I disabled everything, virtual memory, all services, all startup items, etc. Restarted and Vista's processes accounted for less then 30MB (64bit). However the memory load was over 600MB. Not that I really mind with 2GB and I never let virtual memory run on my machine (I'll buy more ram if I want it) but being unable to disable 600MB (forgot what the feature was called, prefetch was it?) my top 1.4GB load on XP (mostly WOW+Firefox simultaneously open) jumps to 1.9/2.0 GB roughly on Vista because of this feature.
At DDR-400 and 2GB my machine is more then capable of doing what I need and want. Why should I buy another 2GB of ram (even though 64Bit Vista would support it) when AMD is jumping on the DDR3 bandwagon soon? Not that it's even worth going to DDR2 unless you're using a laptop that would benefit from the lower voltage consumption.
Microsoft needs to understand consistency, but inconsistency seems to be the only thing they're being consistent about these days.
I did RMAs with Asus on a socket 939 with SLI16X chipset. The second board (at the end of the second RMA) had sperm on it. Also as a side note none of the socket 939 nForce4 boards I've used are actually capable of running raid 1. I went to EVGA and while I still couldn't do raid 1 I decided to get a RocketRaid 2300 and it works fine now.
If I buy a new anything and receive a used part as a replacement I will *NOT* do business with that company EVER again, period. Especially with computer components I've got plenty of choices with companies. My favorite motherboard manufacturer is Gigabyte though I was sorely disappointed that they opted to jump on the worthless AM2 train instead of release an SLI-16X chipset based board. I won't be using a new socket for a long time with DDR3 coming out now on Intel and AMD catching up...screw that, my DDR-400 works just fine. When I do go for a new socket I'll probably decide based on dual-graphics cards based chipset...though hopefully (but doubtfully) we won't be forced to choose a chipset by then.
Anyway don't buy Asus unless you want to risk having to RMA and receive sperm covered motherboards.
Safari has a few moderate bugs but it also supports a lot of spiffy CSS3.
Bugs: displays noscript element automatically if it's not associated with a JavaScript. It also has some box-model issues. It's about the same as Presto or Trident but not as good at rendering as Gecko.
It has the most CSS3 support that I'm aware of versus Gecko, then Presto, then KHTML, then Trident.
The GUI isn't developed enough...but then again all browsers currently ship with developers and programmers in mind: no the common person who needs a history button to find that page they looked at a week ago and have no clue how to find it. The trend of unusable minimalism needs to end.
Sorry is a word you are programed to use. "white supremacist holocaust-denying anti-semitic website" Fine: if they tell the truth the way it is it doesn't matter WHO they are and what their views are. The truth is the truth regardless who speaks it. Just because you do not agree with something does not erase the fact that it exists. Just because you don't care does not mean others will follow your retreat.
Typical tactics of those who think they are in the right but are not. This story is a clear cut case of black-on-white hate crime. Cultural-Marxists and their supporters (such as you) will use the power of suggestion to downplay what happened.
I think your opinion would change if someone poured bleach down your throat and set you on fire to cover up their crimes after already having cut off parts of your body and raped you.
Remember the evil Soviet Union with the evil communists we used to be so uptight about? We're becoming just like them. Cultural Marxism has been here for a long while now and you can scream the race card but if Jews didn't own and control the media then they wouldn't be the ones at fault.
Five blacks brutally murder, rape, and do unspeakable acts. When Imus made a comment (that was taken out of context) you but you didn't know what had happened you could swear the media reacted like he had raped fifty black women. Yet this story never saw the day of light...

Tell me that's not worthy news? Of course cultural Marxism is against whites (specifically the white male) claiming classes degenerate society.
If you're running XP and not playing video games you should be running at least 1GB of RAM.
If you're using Vista (at all) or playing video games on XP you should be running no less then 2GB of RAM.
Additionally virtual memory is a massive waste of time. Once the user runs out of physical memory the user has no way of being told that they need more memory, the computer simply slows down. And no one can ever sound like their not smoking crack by saying a hard drive is faster then memory, virtual memory = cheap Dell computer with 256MB of RAM. Who here would use virtual memory to extend their video card's memory?
The point is simple: if programs are getting bigger to adjust to our needs then our computers memory should follow suite.
A 15-20% increase in anything is a waste of time, everyone's time. There have been numerous inventors who have more then doubled the efficiency and more then halved the size of all sorts of engines. The only reason we never hear about any of this is because they are bought off, by big oil companies. I even recall hearing something about water as a fuel?
Because the first thing you thought of when you read my tag line was to vehemently defend Linux against any criticisms.
1.) So I can ping from the GUI but I can't even install a program such as a Firefox nightly build unless I go skinny dipping in the command console?
2.) Why is Linux forcing me to use the AC97 onboard audio in place of my Creative Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS Platinum audio card... and then gives me no GUI option to switch from between the devices across the several flavors of Linux I've tried out?
3.) Consistency of design, example: key combinations need to work include Win+D, CTRL+ESC, ALT+TAB, CTRL+ALT+DEL, among many others. Kudos to Xandros for making headway on this.
4.) "YAST" is a Linux developer's preferred way of referring to something as a control panel. If Linux were to replace Windows normal users would be looking for their "preferences", "settings", or "options".
5.) Get rid of useless junk: virtual memory (and a forced virtual memory partition on top of that). There are fifty programs to do a task such as FTP, but not catagory called "FTP" so how would these programs see the light of day by normal users? If you disagree you've probably got a high end processor (instead of getting a slower one and then overclocking) but only have half the physical memory you actually use.
6.) Stop turning my hard drive in to swiss cheese. One drive one partition.
It's not just about the code, it's what you do with the code (or don't).
I'm seeing 68% the past few months for the latest specific version (2.0.x.x) when there are not updates available during the course of that month. It's a bit over 70% if you factor in all versions of Firefox and around 75% of all visitors use a Gecko browser at my site. IE's shares are all single digits.
If aliens are calling then they'd probably be using frequencies along those lines. The logic would be that if they found using such frequencies to be technologically challenging to use why would they bother to communicate with an abundance of lesser civilizations when they could potentially benefit from communicating with equal or superior civilizations across the cosmos?
1.) If developers wants the everyday non-savvy users to use Linux then as a professional web developer I shouldn't have to even think of messing with the console just to install a Firefox nightly build. I don't care how much power is in the console I'm not using it and regular computer users sure as hell aren't. Point: get a unified installer system setup. Hell OSX is based on Unix (just like Linux) and it has a "drag the icon from here to there" installer. Why doesn't Linux (ANY flavor of it for that matter) have something ANYTHING along those lines?
2.) Don't use the crappy AC97 onboard audio in place of my Creative Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS Platinum audio card... and then give me no GUI option to switch from the onboard (no-3D audio btw) audio device.
3.) Keys need to work include Win+D, CTRL+ESC, ALT+TAB, CTRL+ALT+DEL, among many others. Xandros gains credit in my eyes for at least saying, "Hey, we know since 99% of the frigin world is stuck on Windows we thought it'd be cool to let you use those same keyboard controls".
4.) Call your control panel a control panel, or at least use the words preferences, settings, or something exceptionally obvious instead of just plain "YAST". If I'm a non-savvy user YAST sounds like spyware.
5.) If you debate me don't use your family who have all been learning Linux ANYWAY and aren't considered the typical non-savvy computer user.
6.) Stop using virtual memory by force. Sure it's a safety belt to some degree such as with web servers but I have yet to see any program that say, "Oh crap, using the hard drive as memory, maybe I should say something". And don't give me the "Well it doesn't need to be in memory" crap argument because if it doesn't need to be in memory then DON'T FRIGIN LOAD IT. Kudos thought to Linux for running on really old hardware.
7.) Stop turning my hard drive in to swiss cheese. One drive one partition.
8.) Make Konqueror's GUI a little easier to use by allowing icons to be dragged instead of the extremely confusing separate CAGE layout where I can't move an icon all the way to one side because it's locked up on another. Firefox's GUI has the potential to be good (it's default settings just aren't any good for the non-savvy).
Kudos though for it doing pretty good on the CSS3 selectors test...
http://www.css3.info/selectors-test/
Don't get me wrong, Linux is great and all but for as long as it's been around you'd think someone would have fixed these problems by now. I'm sticking with XP for now though for now I give Xandros the most credit thus far. Hey, at least they have made an honest attempt with their Windows EXE installer even though it did not work with a Firefox nightly build, kudos for making it to begin with.
Check your access log to see if Google actually requested the external JavaScript file. If it didn't there would be no reason to assume Google is interested in non-(X)HTML based content.
America is the MOST religious developed country in the world. We're also sinking dramatically in the world on math, science, and dead last in clean politics. Ignorance is strength only to those who control the ignorant. Religion has been disproved more then people have proved one and one is two (based on the decimal system of course). People are TRAINED by the media in which they have become mentally enslaved by in to unnatural twisted forms of mental thoughtlessness to hate that which is most naturally appealing, learning, ambition, power. This is sadly why it is so easy to make money in this world.
This is the last step before they inject these things in to our flesh. This is part of a greater plan to stop an anti-government uprising because they will be able to lock down those who do not conform. Why do you think the armed forces can have big guns but civilians can't? This is not about improving systems but improving systems of control. The worst evil is the one you've been convinced does not exist! The original US Government when creating the constitution foresaw the government to become oppressive once again and gave us these constitutional rights to defend our lands, our homes, our people. Pacifism, indifference, and apathy towards these issues will lead our people to worse things then miscegenation, homosexuality, and complete moral decay of society. The real question is who ultimately benefits from all of this controlled chaos?
Our (United States) government does nothing for us (the people). Any other country that gains the (not our) government's majority attention is welcomed as I and we should all fear what will happen when there are no more "rogue" countries for our anti-American government to focus it's attention on. Those midnight congress meetings will matter when the armed forces will be marching through our neighborhoods "protecting Americans against Americans".
Burning down houses and forcing IT guys to clean up systems with 128 MB of RAM only tops my list of complaints with Dell. At least Linux won't be as memory intensive as Windows so that being said I hope we don't see (further) stagnation in increasing the minimum amount of RAM in their bottom line.
SEMW, THANK YOU for being the first person to actually REFERENCE what this unexplained memory usage is (Superfetch). I'm now interested in how as a user I can manually tweak Superfetch.
I prefer the Windows 98 setup with the separate Find window and the icons with text buttons at the top of Windows Explorer. This may seem as a waste of space to some folks but I find them convenient in many instances such as when I'm working while laying in bed. Does anyone have a Windows Explorer alternative (for Windows of course)?

If developers wants the everyday non-savvy users to use Linux then as a professional web developer I shouldn't have to even think of messing with the console just to install a Firefox nightly build. I don't care how much power is in the console I'm not using it and regular computer users sure as hell aren't. Point: get a unified installer system setup. Hell OSX is based on Unix (just like Linux) and it has a "drag the icon from here to there" installer. Why doesn't Linux (ANY flavor of it for that matter) have something ANYTHING along those lines? 2.) Don't use the crappy AC97 onboard audio in place of my Creative Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS Platinum audio card... and then give me no GUI option to switch from the onboard (no-3D audio btw) audio device. 3.) Keys need to work include Win+D, CTRL+ESC, ALT+TAB, CTRL+ALT+DEL, among many others. Xandros gains credit in my eyes for at least saying, "Hey, we know since 99% of the frigin world is stuck on Windows we thought it'd be cool to let you use those same keyboard controls". 4.) Call your control panel a control panel, or at least use the words preferences, settings, or something exceptionally obvious instead of just plain "YAST". If I'm a non-savvy user YAST sounds like spyware. 5.) If you debate me don't use your family who have all been learning Linux ANYWAY and aren't considered the typical non-savvy computer user. 6.) Stop using virtual memory by force. Sure it's a safety belt to some degree such as with web servers but I have yet to see any program that say, "Oh crap, using the hard drive as memory, maybe I should say something". And don't give me the "Well it doesn't need to be in memory" crap argument because if it doesn't need to be in memory then DON'T FRIGIN LOAD IT. Kudos thought to Linux for running on really old hardware. 7.) Stop turning my hard drive in to swiss cheese. One drive one partition. 8.) Make Konqueror's GUI a little easier to use by allowing icons to be dragged instead of the extremely confusing separate CAGE layout where I can't move an icon all the way to one side because it's locked up on another. Firefox's GUI has the potential to be good (it's default settings just aren't any good for the non-savvy). Kudos though for it doing pretty good on the CSS3 selectors test... http://www.css3.info/selectors-test/ Don't get me wrong, Linux is great and all but for as long as it's been around you'd think someone would have fixed these problems by now. I'm sticking with XP for now though for now I give Xandros the most credit thus far. Hey, at least they have made an honest attempt with their Windows EXE installer even though it did not work with a Firefox nightly build, kudos for making it to begin with.

America is the MOST religious developed country in the world. We're also sinking dramatically in the world on math, science, and dead last in clean politics. Ignorance is strength only to those who control the ignorant. Religion has been disproved more then people have proved one and one is two (based on the decimal system of course). People are TRAINED by the media in which they have become mentally enslaved by in to unnatural twisted forms of mental thoughtlessness to hate that which is most naturally appealing, learning, ambition, power. This is sadly why it is so easy to make money in this world.
This is the last step before they inject these things in to our flesh. This is part of a greater plan to stop an anti-government uprising because they will be able to lock down those who do not conform. Why do you think the armed forces can have big guns but civilians can't? This is not about improving systems but improving systems of control. The worst evil is the one you've been convinced does not exist! The original US Government when creating the constitution foresaw the government to become oppressive once again and gave us these constitutional rights to defend our lands, our homes, our people. Pacifism, indifference, and apathy towards these issues will lead our people to worse things then miscegenation, homosexuality, and complete moral decay of society. The real question is who ultimately benefits from all of this controlled chaos?
Our (United States) government does nothing for us (the people). Any other country that gains the (not our) government's majority attention is welcomed as I and we should all fear what will happen when there are no more "rogue" countries for our anti-American government to focus it's attention on. Those midnight congress meetings will matter when the armed forces will be marching through our neighborhoods "protecting Americans against Americans".
So who makes the Air Force's software? Outsourcing, or outsourcing by Microsoft?
Burning down houses and forcing IT guys to clean up systems with 128 MB of RAM only tops my list of complaints with Dell. At least Linux won't be as memory intensive as Windows so that being said I hope we don't see (further) stagnation in increasing the minimum amount of RAM in their bottom line.
SEMW, THANK YOU for being the first person to actually REFERENCE what this unexplained memory usage is (Superfetch). I'm now interested in how as a user I can manually tweak Superfetch. I prefer the Windows 98 setup with the separate Find window and the icons with text buttons at the top of Windows Explorer. This may seem as a waste of space to some folks but I find them convenient in many instances such as when I'm working while laying in bed. Does anyone have a Windows Explorer alternative (for Windows of course)?
