5/10 Stop Bombing. Stop Bombing. US government should apologize and
pay for the damage of the bombing of Chinese Ambassador. Would
you believe in the Army anymore if they can made such error?
One day your home will be bombed because they have receive info
that your home have 1 tons of explosives.
\_ I think it's time we NUKE china. Communist bastards should
die anyway.
\_ racist asshole.
\_ From what I've read, Clinton has apologized, but the Chinese
\_ They didn't PROMISED anything on paying the damage. And, do you
know that each bombing is needed to be approved by several stages.
No one find out the big fault. It seems to me that the bombing is
well planned and targeted to Chinese Ambassador. 4 death and more
than 20 injury, remember. You know where is the Chinese Ambassador
if you get a local map! And the building is easily distinguished
from other since it is a famous landmark.
government hasn't acknowledged it. Nor have they allowed the
chinese protestors to get wind of the apology.
\_ Does age of a building related to whether its a landmark or not?
The building can be distinguished from the top easily since
the roof is made of Marble. The bombing team need to recognized
the building from top, i bet. Why can 3 bomb hit the same target
if it the target is wrong??
\_ They have already apologized repeatedly, for all it's worth.
Remember, NATO has dropped more than 15,000 bombs, many during
demanding more concessions from everyone before they
join the WTO. And I don't see anyone in the Chinese
government having to apologize for stealing all of our nuke
secrets, or if you want to harp on interfering in a
sovereign country's affairs, for invading Tibet/Vietnam,
causing all kindsa trouble in the Pacific...self-righteous
hypocritical morons. Nice grammar, by the way. -John
nightfall, so they do have, for the most part, an incredible

What is FBI then?

old

\_ Well mr. Red China is so put upon, poor us, evil US, the
Chinese are going to use this as the perfect reason for
demanding more concessions from everyone before they join the
WTO. And I don't see anyone in the Chinese government having
to apologize for stealing all of our nuke secrets, or if you

\_ Once again, Give us proof when and where did Chinese steal
the secrets. Doesn't American Spy on other countries at
\_ FBI is for spying on ourselves. Perhaps you're thinking
about the CIA.
all? What is FBI then?
\_ What about when the Chinese government dropped missiles just
outside of Taiwan a couple years back? Didn't see any
Chinese protest the aggression. Hypocrites.
\_ Does that missiles cause any death? Remember the 4 deaths
under NATO/US missiles. Furthermore, Taiwan is still a
part of China, as recognized by US.
\_ Maybe the US wants another World War, so they bombed the
Embassy on purpose. Like Vietnam (Tonkin Gulf) and WWII
(Pearl Harbor) and many other examples of standard State
deception. Think of the power, the population, and the
social control benefits!!!
\_ This is all a conspiracy to bring about the biblical armaggeddon
3) It was the CIA's fault.
4) China's going to use it for all that it's worth.
5) If you were China wouldn't you, too?
\_ 1) It was an accident. 2) It was an incredibly stupid accident.
3) China's going to use it for all that it's worth.
4) If you were China wouldn't you, too?
\_ Chinese leadership is kind of dumb in this regard. They
exploit every little opportunity to gain small advantages,
only to lose what is important - a good relationship with the US. |

The Matrix << eXistenZ
Tom Clancy vs. Tom Stoppard: no contest
^^^^^^^^^^^^ obviously a chick wrote that
\_ or a guy who isn't afraid of having
an opinion?
\_ no comparison between Stoppard and Clancy? they both suck, in
different ways, of course, but there's no denying they're
both horrible
\_ The tooth gun was kinda neat, but eXistenZ is the worst movie
I've ever seen. The insipid plot was definitely no excuse for
the terrible acting. The twists left me on the edge of my seat
only because I was dying to leave the theatre. To rephrase the
movie: DEATH TO EXISTENZ and its director!! -ali

5/10 Does anyone know the National average salary of an airplane
pilot? What about aviation related jobs? Thanks
\_ $115K/year (assuming you meant for all commercial pilots, wish
I could give you a break-down by exp / specific field)
\_ My NT sysadmin makes more than that!
\_ then you have an idiot for a hiring manager
\_ Do they really make that much? It cost me mucho to get a
Berkeley education, yet, if I go to a flying school for
$6000 for a license and aeronautic degree, I can already
get paid $115K?
\_ You'll need to join the air force, be good enough to get a
a fighter plane, and then bomb smaller countries before you
can earn 115k with the airlines. -jor
\_ Sodan needs clue, badly.
\_ <DEAD>208.217.189.50/internet/worth.htm<DEAD>
gawd i hope there's not a sysadmin equivalent of this page
\_ Wow, that's one of the most impressive pages I've ever
seen. --jnat
\_ Wow, that's one of the most on-target (oi, bad pun) pages
I've ever seen, particularly given that the alternative
transportation movement is in the middle of a similar
false reporting about the costs of providing facilities,
by the media and the special interests that control the
media. --jnat
\_ good page,except there's no such thing as
a"Cross-country" license (it's covered in the Private
Pilot requirement)

5/10 Anyone knows if there's anywhere where I can still buy one of those
super heavy IBM selectric computer keyboards? Mine just broke down
after 6 years of use.
\_ http://www.cdw.com might have something like that.
\_ no luck there, but thank anyway.
\_ no luck there, but thanks anyway.
\_ Huh? Try http://www.cdw.com/product/default.asp?EDC=40316
or search for "keyboard" in their product index and page
down to the IBM section. You can buy them online at a
number of other places, I've seen them at Fry's, or if
you're adventurous, visit your local Silicon Valley surplus
electronics store . . .
\_ Thanks, I will check it out.
\_ Weird Stuff and Halted just got in a couple of crates of
old IBM keyboards last week, check them out.
\_ Thanks, but where is "Weird Stuff and Halted". Sorry
but I've been out of school (and the Bay Area) for
a couple of years. But I will be visiting during
Memorial Day.
\_ Weird Stuff: Sunnyvale - see http://www.wierdstuff.com
Halted: Santa Clara - see http://www.halted.com
\_ You can't find items in online catalogs and don't
know where WierdStuff is? What kind of EECS major
were *you*?
\_ I have never even heard of WeirdStuff. I don't
think it existed when I was in school or in the
Bay Area.
As for cdw, the item was labelled as a Thinkpad
keyboard. In fact, I am still not sure if it
is the keyboard I wanted. Maybe you can help
me out since you are such a smart EECS major.
Give me 2 or 3 URLs to the keyboard. Thanks.
\_ WeirdStuff has been around a *LONG* time,
certainly back as long as when I was in school.
-ERic
\_ while I was in school, there was one in
Milpitas... --tsang
Fremont/Milpitas... --tsang
\_ so does WeirdStuff even predate psb?
\_ When does psb date from? WeirdStuff
was the place of legends when I was
in High School (1992). Back then
it was across the street from Fry's.
I bought my first weather balloon
to make a remote controlled blimp
from WeirdStuff. Halted is apparently
older than WeirdStuff.
\_ I was a freshie in 87. Partha
was old even then.... :-)
\_ not likely, since Partha's
reign started in 86. Though
I guess he had some moral
authority even in 87.
\_ bought first hard drive (ST-225)
for Apple II SASI<->MFM card at
(store that became Weird Stuff)
around '84. --tsang
\_ I thought it was like 87 or
88 when you bought that HD.
\_ was it? could be -tsang
Or are you talking about a
different disk? Anyway, Weird
Stuff has moved twice since
then, and it's now a mere
shadow of its former self. One
of the original owners has a
store near the SJ Airport, and
the original Weird Stuff
doubledecker is even parked
outside. -tse
WierdStuff recently underwent _/
major (re-)expansion (they're in the same place, but they
reclaimed a big chunk of the space that was roped off for
auctions and turned it into browsable retail space). I'd
say it's at least as big/interesting as Halted/HSC now. I
agree that the place with the double-decker bus, RA Enterprises
(http://www.raenterprises.com is very much worth a visit. -- kahogan
\_ if you want real history, go to mike quinn electronics
near the oakland airport... it's in a quanset (sp?) hut
and has very old relics and lots of strange discrete
components for high-power WWII-vintage circuits. ever
seen a 100 mF capacitor? you gotta have imagination to
appreciate it if you're a modern digital boy. |

5/10 I just heard the Chinese ambassador on the News Hour. He seemed
to be a complete whacko. Was he just playing games for political
reasons, or is the Chinese culture so different than ours that I
can't understand him?
\_ Do you feel that rough beast slouching towards Bethlehem to
be born?
\_ Chinamen are brain damaged from being upsidedown all day (that's
what you get for living on the other side of the world - sure am
glad we live on top)

the arsehole that is)
\_ NUKE CANADA
\_ I am wondering if you have any basic knowledge of Science.
Are you from Cal? We are living upsidedown all the day if u
consider Asia is the top side. How can you tell which side
is the top when the globe is symmetric? Take Physics classes
if you are still in doubt.
\_ hello? are your really this stupid?
