Actually, according to the U.S. Constitution and federal law, Aaron is
mostly correct.
If you're a U.S. Citizen, but choose to make war against your own
country, or give aid and comfort to its very numerous enemies (foreign
or domestic), then you're guilty of treason, a capital crime.
Logically then, Ted turned should be hung. He is after all, giving
aid and comfort to an organization that has avowed to destroy the
sovereignty of all nations.
Also, if you conspire to violate the Constitutionally guaranteed
rights of any U.S. Citizen under color of law, you're guilty of a
felony, which becomes a capital crime if loss of life results.
That's 18 USC 241, 18 USC 242, and 18 USC335.
Regarding the Communist Party USA (CPUSA), membership in it was once
held to be illegal for this reason - not because you aren't entitled
to hold and express any opinions you wish, but because you are not
entitled to conspire to violate the rights of others.
But right now the CPUSA, though obnoxious, is among the very least of
our problems. Both of the "mainstream" parties are much worse, since
they have much more power.
Both major parties advocate and practice socialism (in varying
degrees), both have *knowingly* caused massive loss of life, liberty
and property, which they were supposed to protect, and both have
conspired, very successfully, to make this nation an oligarchy
masquerading as a democracy, rather than the Republic that by law it
must be.
Moreoever, that have knowingly and illegaly exercised
unconstitional powers, failed to get rid of income taxes due to the
16th Amedment's non-ratification.
Hence, there are a LOT of traitors in our midst. And given the threat
that they pose to the life, liberty and property of all people (both
inside the U.S. and elsewhere), I think it is not only reasonable, but
necessary, that the worst of them be dealt with as the law requires.
But, they ARE the law. Tough to prosecute someone when they hold
the reigns of power.
Aaron is not advocating that we round up everyone - just those who are
the most blatantly and obviously guilty. And, so long as these folks
get an *exceedingly* fair trial, and as long as their sentences are
somewhat commensurate with their crimes, I am in total agreement with
him.
I don't want more bloodshed. I think there's been too much already
(the left's war on unborn children, the right's war on drugs, and
other kinds too numerous to list). But it is absolutely necessary
that the crimes against peaceful and law-abiding U.S. Citizens, not to
mention the nationals of many other countries who have been harmed by
actions of our so-called "government," be ended. Hopefully, by the
most peaceful means possible.
You can't seen nothin yet. There's gonna be a whole lot more real
fighting in the streets before things are returned to any kind of
freedom at all/
I too took an oath to defend the United States, its lawful government,
its Constitution, its citizens, and its valid laws against all threats
whether domestic or foreign. So have millions of others. We are
greatly outnumbered by the traitors at the moment, but times and
political winds do change, and I remain hopeful that someday we will
be able to return to a legitimate, federal, Constitutional, republican
form of government.

Hehe. That reminds me of an "ethics/morality" lecture I had during last
term (I've just started a comp. sci. degree). During it the lecturer was
eagre to point out that modern computer programs are perhaps the most
complex things ever created by man, and that people have far too high
expectations of the software. A friend of mine condensed it down to
basically telling people "hey, we're computer scientists, you can't
expect us to do everything right, or even anything right, ever" :)
People say things at work like "I hate computers" right after Windows
locks up or crashes. People view software as crap, and under Windows are
generally correct.
I have to agree with you there, to an extent. However, take a look at
things like IE. Microsoft have probably outdone themselves there.
What's their cometition? Opera with its god-awful UI and hopeless DOM
support, and Netscape 6 which is very buggy.
This "reboot your computer to fix a problem" mentality is stupid.
Very much agreed. I never reboot Linux to solve a problem unless I
absolutely have to (Which hasn't been for a good year).
We
have an IT department, smart guys, but been using Microsoft too long.
Perhaps. However, I've been using W2K for a while, and I must say it is
very stable. But, I have one or two show-stoppers. If I ever
hibernate the computer, bring it back up and try and load a game, the
system *will* lock tighter than Fort Knox.
Is Linux right for the home computer? Maybe not yet. But it is very
acceptable for the workstation and server market. One could easily
deploy a full Linux network infrastructure, right to the desktop, in a
company and improve reliability and reduce costs.
Perhaps, perhaps not. It really depends what software you need.

I would imagine that this is for two reasons. First, Debian doesn't have

out (for example, 2.2r1 just came out, and 2.2r2 is expected in 10 days).
Second, if you install Debian, it's fairly trivial to apt-get

It's not the best situation to not have a date on the box, but it's

I doubt that Forlenza pays "big bucks" with the small budget she's

Heh.
I don't see how that shows "big bucks." It just discusses a partnership
whereas Apple uses Independence Day themes in their ads, while Fox
displays the Powerbook in the movie.
I'll give a counterexample: in "Eyes Wide Shut," the main character's
office is shown at one point, and the computer visible is a PowerMac
5400 (or maybe a G3 all in one), which is sort of a precursor to the
iMac. This isn't a very well known model, and probably only people who
really knew Apple's product lines would recognize it, so it's highly
unlikely that Apple paid to have it placed there.

It's also highly unlikely that all of these other Mac sightings were

needed a computer why not one of the 90% majority? There's a reason
they are there -- because Apple wants you to see them there, and has

Yes, students tend to have a low income...because students

Part time employees working in fields in which they are highly qualified

You claim that your current income is $7,500/year. If you chose
to drop out of your PhD program today, what do you think your
income would be?
Admittedly several times higher than that
My bet is somewhere around $80,000 provided you aren't majoring
in Psychology (would you like fries with that?), History, or
Medicine.
Math. BTW, it might surprise you to learn that medical research gets a lot
of funding.
But 3/4 of a medical degree is almost worthless off campus.
Now, grants for medical research ARE authorized by the
Constitution, because that falls under public health, which
is a *general* welfare concern.
2. Intelligence is genetically linked. Correlation 0.5 (where
a correlation of 1.0 is absolute correlation)
(a) How do you measure "genetically linked",
Measure the correlation between identical twins who have been
seperated since birth vs. correlation between identical twins
who have lived together from birth to adulthood
I don't know where to begin with the problems here. First, how do you
justify extrapolating from twins to the population ? Secondly, you're
going to have a hard time finding test subjects.
They have come up with a couple thousand sets of identical twins
who were orphaned or put up for adoption as infants, and adopted
seperately.
Thirdly, how do you know that the type of people who adopt the twin are
independent of genetic factors?
I think it would be up to you to prove that the genetics of
the adoptive parents show some sort of correlation beyond
meeting the minimum thresholds to gain approval by whatever
organization (public or private) supervised the adoption
process.
(c) What does "smart" mean anyway ? Your measure of "smart"
could also be flawed.
Don't be so stupidit's unbecoming.
No, it's not. The problem is that you only prove something about how
people perform on your test. ( that's being optimistic and assuming
that your test didn't have obvious flaws in the first place )
Talk of "other intelligences" and such is a bunch of egalitarian
nonsense to explain away low IQ scores by the obviously stupid.
This is why I told you to read _The_Bell_Curve_so that your
head will be swept clean of all this nonsense.
And orphaned children of low-income adults tend to perform
at lower levels than orphaned children of high-income adults.
But the fact that they're orphaned doesn't isolate genetics as
an independent variable.
It's incumbent upon you to demonstrate evidence that this would
be true (outside of being the children being disproportionately
represented by parents whose lived their lives with high risk
for death). Especially when you eliminate a lot of variables
by studying only those infants who were orphaned as infants,
controlling for alcoholism and smoking among the genetic
parents, etc.

Hi Folks,
Our development group wants to generate code from a NT hosted tool,
onto a Solaris box and then compile/edit this code.
The NT -- Solaris link currently is Solaris v5.6 NFS to Hummingbird
Maestro v6.2
To deal with this, we have to manually run the LF -- CR/LF conversion
utility.
We are looking for a **transparent** conversion solution.
-- We do understand the nature of the problem -- (no flames)
Hummingbird tech support said they are *not* interested (see below)
###
# (1) Who won't: Hummingbird
###
Our current PC-NFS vendor, www.hummingbird.com , responded in case
number "1005325" that they cannot do transparent conversion between DOS
and Unix text . They expressed *no* desire to add that capability.
I was also told that just 20 minutes ago, the very same support
engineer at Hummingbird had just gotten the same request from another
customer !
###
# (2) Who will: Samba
###
In this URL, someone purports to know that Samba will be configurable
to do transparent conversion between DOS and Unix text.

Hi,
When PCs write to the samba share, all the files have an extra line,
in
between each lines.
Can we change that behaviour?
Thanks
Hi,
Thanks for your very detailed description of your problem. Samba by
default has no option to change the content of any file that is stored
from a Windoze PC on a Samba share. I assume that you open Windoze
files with an UNIX program i.e. vi.
UNIX uses LF as NewLine character. Windoze uses instead CRLF. If you
want to use a text created under Windoze in UNIX you have to map CRLF
to LF by your own. In the other way round you have to open UNIX
textfiles with Wordpad.
Samba 3.0 (probably available in October 2000) will probably have an
option to do the conversion somehow automatically.
HTH,
Axel Neumann

... excerpt ...
Mapping OpenVMS Text Files to UNIX Text Files
The MultiNet NFS Server attempts to make access to text files as
transparent as possible. Most OpenVMS files containing ASCII text have
RMS record attributes of Variable Length Records with Carriage Return
Carriage Control (VAR-CR). When VAR-CR files are read via the NFS
Server, the NFS Server automatically converts the contents of the file
into the equivalent UNIX byte stream. Because of this conversion, there
are a number of restrictions imposed on VAR-CR files:
