Deductive reasoning --- You responded. Note that if I tried to use
the Scientific Method I would fail.
My next thousand posts could all post. That would not prove that "the"

So... it is possible to know things that are unprovable using the

OTOH, Aaron has hit upon an excellent point.
There are "lies, damned lies and statistics". What's really
relevant is not the core numbers but what percentage of those
numbers are criminals waging war on each other. Guns used in
cases of manslaughter might be relevant as well.
[deletia]
Anything beyond manslaughter and you're talking about intent
sufficient enough to likely make any extra laws pretty irrelevant.
--
Also while the herd mentality is certainly there, I think the
nature of software interfaces and how they tend to interfere
with free choice is far more critical. It's not enough to merely
have the "biggest fraternity", you also need a way to trap people
in once they've made a bad initial decision.

Police move to tackle huge rise in gun crime
By Ian Burrell, Home Affairs Correspendent
15 January 2001
A national firearms database is to be established for the first time,
amid fears over record levels of gun crime.
The setting up of the database, recommended by the official inquiry into
the Dunblane massacre of 1996, comes as a report by senior criminal
intelligence officers has uncovered "major weaknesses" in the way
British police tackle gun crime. For the past 11 months, a team of
officers from the National Criminal Intelligence Service has compiled
details of weapons and ammunition seized by the police and has concluded
that the scale of Britain's black market in firearms is "far higher than
anybody had previously thought".

One in three young criminals is armed
Government research shows use of guns is on the rise and gangster films

Special report: gun violence in Britain
Tony Thompson
Sunday September 3, 2000
One in three criminals under the age of 25 owns or has access to a
firearm, the Government's researchers have discovered.
A continuing parliamentary inquiry into the growing number of black
market weapons has concluded that there are more than three million
illegally held fireahms in circulation - double the number believed to
have been held 10 years ago - and that criminals are more willing than
ever to use them.

IBM was marketing it as an OS. An 'alternative' to Windows, perhaps.
Most of the industry, of course, saw Windows as an alternative to OS/2,
and after MS got done with their illegal campaign to destroy competition
and their FUD, they didn't see it as a viable one, due to their
carefully incubated ignorance.

Yes they did; on both counts. It was a Unix killer, too, and oh, it

supposed to believe.

Yes, but slower and less reliable than OS/2, which was the point. You

Yes; one is an understandable if somewhat rhetoric statement; "MS is

being entirely dishonest, and only by remarking on how dishonest MS is.
Two very different things, I'd say.

Most Linux people aren't either as insipid or as softheaded as you are,

while the DOJ (why is it Microsoft flunkies always bring Congress into
it?) has no intention of producing software.

No, I understand perfectly. I've been disscussing the Scientific Method.
Many people claim that the only way to "know" something is the
Scientific Method. They also claim that any other way of "knowing"
is un-scientific.
So far We've identified 2 ways to "know" something. Iv'e proposed
a 3rd. Thanks for the 4th.

Yes, it surely is. No amount of squirming on your part is going to
change the nature of your rhetoric; there is no "dogma", merely beliefs.
All sorts of different people believe different things; claiming that
the reason they believe it is because it is "dogma" is tantamount to
simply not having an argument.

No, I discount your argument by saying I'm squirming around; there's no
"try" about it. Your silly prattling on about "dogma" is as I described
it: a tired insinuation. Claiming your opponent is "just being
prejudiced", despite lengthy and relatively rational debate is not a
good technique for doing anything except squirming around pinned to the
carpet, for future reference.

There's little you can do about the fact that dialog boxes are too large
except for increasing the display resolution.
Type Xconfigurator at the command prompt and choose the correct monitor
specs as well as an 800x600 display mode. Most 14" monitors can do 800x600 at
72Hz although you will be able to display 800x600 at 60Hz.
I stay at 800x600 with a 14" monitor. If your monitor can do 800x600 at
72Hz then it will also be capable of 1024x768 at a 60Hz refresh rate
non-interlaced.
