5/01 Is there any free partition_repair/data_recovery software (for fat32)
that actually works? I got a "shareware" download which claims to have
made a backup image but it wants me to buy the "commercial" version in
order to restore from it! -crebbs
\_ I've never tried it, but i hear that Drive Rescue is pretty good.
http://home.arcor.de/christian_grau/rescue
\_ PowerQuest (the folks who make PartitionMagic) probably has a
tool for this. -dans |

5/1 ucla ee guy, where are you going for grad school? Why do you want
to go to usc for your MS? Their tuition is outrageous (and MS don't
usually get funding unless you know the people really well).
\_ I'm confused. ucla ee guy isn't going to ucla for grad school?

5/1 Ok, all that stuff about Israel, Iraq, the WTC, global warming and
Jesse Jackson's most recent 'love child' is nothing when you
consider what's coming in May/June of 2003. Start preparing now. I
know I'll try to be as ready as possible when this comes by.

\_ OH. MY. GOD. I just wasted 5 minutes reading this trash. Why

5/2 What's the best broadband service for under $100/month in Santa
Clara? Thanks!
\_ single/mult IP? static/dynamic? give us some boundaries, man...
\_ single static IP.
\_ DirectTV is $50/mo and gives you a static IP. I have been
happy with them in Redwood City and SF. -ausman
\_ What's the upstream rate?
\_ Don't know if they throttle it. when i ordered, the website
didn't explicitly say (or, at least, i didn't notice).
Haven't installed yet. will let you know. --scotsman
\_ Usually it's the same as the PacBell consumer ADSL service
in the same area. In my case, it's 128Kbps, in Berkeley.
\_ Alternatively, if you really want to spend all $100 per month
you might be able to find even more attactive DSL packages
(from speakeasy for example) with faster upload rates, SDSL options,
multiple IP addresses, etc. |

5/2 Cool. Fake Palestinian funeral caught on tape in attempt to dupe the
UN.
http://www.haaretzdaily.com/hasen/pages/ShArt.jhtml?itemNo=158947&contrassID=1&subContrassID=0&sbSubContrassID=0
\_ it's HOLLYWOOD!!! The US Govnt contracts HOLLYWOOD and their fancy
computer graphics. It's all conspiracy!!! Go Bin Laden.
\_ Faking a funeral, how low can you get. That is way worse that
slaughtering unarmed innocents.
\_ Human Rights Watch (a group that has condemned israel on many
issues) did an investigation and said that there is NO EVIDENCE
FOR A MASACRE IN JENIN. They report about 56 palestinians dead.
Israel reported 54 a couple of days ago (45 gunmen and 7 tragic
civilians [which perez was sorry about]). Israel didn't want
the UN because of their Eurocentric ideas and problems in the
past with these UN groups making mistakes against Israel that
they later had to retract (i.e. Lebanese fighters using UN
uniforms to abduct Israeli soldiers -- all denied by the UN
which later corrected itself do to videotape that they themselves
shot!).
\_ Who said anything about Jenin? Both sides kill civilians
all the time, this is a much bigger problem than some
fake funeral. Try to keep your sense of perspective.
\_ They also caught them pulling bodies out of a cemetary and putting
them in the rubble. How can you believe anything these people tell
you? It's like purgery in our courts, it denies you the ability
to be trusted in the future!
\_ How come this is not reported by media in US which is pro-Isarel?
\_ It was on FOX NEWS! Watch the real news, not that CNN biased
crap!
\_ It's on http://cnn.com now too.
\_ Don't listen to Communist News Network. It is controlled
by the wealthy Palestinian World Government.
\_ I see. I missed that.
\_ Where'd you get the idea US news is pro-Israel? More like it
isn't too far (Euro-style) into anti-Israel bias.
\_ a troll at the end of a tired-out thread is not as likely
to be functional as a troll. you've got to hit it
earlier. no one even reads this far down in the
thread.
\_ Dumbshit just because you're blind to it doesn't make it
a troll. Troll: most over used word by those with no
other points to make, usually used by the blindly
agenda driven. |

[dont edit my post you genetic reject, add your own if you want]
\_ sign your name twit, and i'll respect the sanctity of your post.
otherwize i'll improve it as i see fit, and you will like it.
\_ so is there a URL for this Re^H^Heducational "teach-in" or is it
too embarrassing to post? Also, a "teach-in" is used to designate
a type of protest. Is this a protest? If so, don't you think
that WHAT you are protesting is pertinent? If it's not, someone
needs pay more attention to how the language is used.
~
\_ We're protesting against hate speech. Anyone who says anything
we don't like needs to be put down.
\_ Yeah, sock it to the leftist oppressors with your biting wit.
\_ So? Did anyone go to this thing? Was it as good as it sounds?
Did the party bosses explain what it is o.k. to say and what it
isn't? Enquiring minds want to know.
\_ They told us we couldn't talk about it. |

\_ I like the stuff about "In the year of our Lord." I like that
inclusive part of Our Christian Nation. I think I'll burn a
cross today.
\_ i'll just pray for the democrats to come up with a real
candidate for 2004 so we can get this neandrathal motherfucker
\_ It's telling that you
can't spell this, but
can spell motherfucker.
out of office.
\_ How about a candidate (anyone, dem or rep) that will stand
up and say NO to foreign aid. FUCK the foreign aid to
Israel and Egypt. FUCK THEM ALL! They want to kill
themselves, go ahead. the US doesn't owe them jack shit.
\_ Ah, to be blissfully ignorant of international
dependencies.
\_ Just be prepared for the occasional 767 flying into a
densely occupied and important skyscraper.
\_ Sorry, I'm still burning a cross. Maybe a flag too. I'm
out to offend people right now.
\_ The teaching of Christ and the Bible are evil,
what a HORRIBLE foundation for modern
society. A much better mantra: do what feels
good and assume no personal responsibility.
\_ Yeah.. it's too bad christians, to a person,
continuously miss the point of the teachings
of christ, making hedonism seem a valid
alternative.
\_ Exactly, thats why you should let other
dictate how you think and act, especially
the press, Europe, and the U.N.
\_ Wow. You completely missed _my_ point
as well.
\_ If someone doesn't "get" your point
you must consider that maybe it's
your fault for lacking clarity and not
entirely the reader's fault. Your
followup sure didn't clarify anything.
\_ Not that this needs to be stated,
but... you're an idiot.
\_ http://www.tshirthell.com/insensitive.htm if you really
are serious about offending people
\_ What happened to separation of church and state?
\_ Nothing in particular. They still have an opening prayer in
Congress. What's up with all you stupid ignorant fucks who
think this country has always had some magical line between
religion and government thicked than your skulls? It's a myth,
a fantasy, a delusion created by liars, the ignorant and the
psychotic. You don't even know what the principle of separation
is about. It has zippo to do with Bush talking about God.
\_ It's in the 1st Amendment. Nat'l Prayer is establishing
religion.
\_ Oh nonsense. The President talking about God in some
random speech is not the instituting of National Prayer or
a National Religion. Take it to alt.conspiracy. And oh
yeah, here's the FULL TEXT of the 1st amendment:
"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of
religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or
abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the
right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition
the government for a redress of grievances." Ignorant
fucking hippies....
\_ there has been a slow erosion since WWII. The "under god"
portion of the Pledge of Allegiance is new too (1954).
\_ So is "In God We Trust". The original motto was
"E Pluribus Unum", but that was changed in the 50s.
\_ Slow erosion of what? You're nuts. Here's a quote from
the God Damned Declaration of Indepence. It's the very
first line, btw: "When in the Course of human events, it
becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political
bands which have connected them with another, and to
assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and
equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's
God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of
mankind requires that they should declare the causes which
impel them to the separation." Hey did you catch how those
old dead white dudes snuck in that evil stuff about G-d???
Really scary stuff! Wowzerz! Who knew? And oh my G-D!!!
There's another mention of the Creator(!!!) in the very
next line!!! I need a new country and I need it now!
http://www.religioustolerance.org/nat_mott.htm
\_ hey moron, the Decleration of Independence has NOTHING
to do with our government. Nada.
\_ Yeah it was only written by most of the same folks
(dead rich white wasp men) who wrote the constitution
and bill of rights. Yeah, nothing, uh huh.
\_ The Declaration of Independence has no i
other people shove their religion down my throat.
laws in it. The government is made of
laws. Think of the DoI as sort of a
"mission statement." And take a intro
to law class, please. You rube.
\_ The founding fathers concept of "Nature's God" was
completely different from the post WWII Christian
God that has steadily been working its way into our
government. The founders were also very keen on keeping
the Christian God out of our gov (there isn't a single
mention of god in the constitution) and they would have
not have been happy with the current state of events.
\_ You could not be more incorrect. On what *facts*
do you base this assertion, or is it your
'opinion'. Everything you wanted to know
about the intent of the original founders
is in the Federalist Papers and other
writings. You can try to
twist history to your liberal secular
agenda on the MOTD, but their own statements
reveal you to be a farce. All you have
to do is READ the First Amendment. But's lets
be honest, activist judges have vastly
accelerated the trashing of the Constitution
since FDR, so its a moot point anyways.
\_ Have you read the constitution? Not one
mention of god. Not even in the oath of
office. The only mention of religion is
other people shoving their religion down my throat.
that no religious test would be required
for someone taking public office.
\_ http://www.religioustolerance.org/nat_mott.htm
If you read the arguments put forth by
the opponents of the constitution, you
will find that chief among them was that
the framers had abandoned "christianity"
and had written the constitution so that
anyone could hold public office. The
constitution was written in a secular
fashion for many reasons, some of which
had to do with the deist believes of the
framers. I'm sure you want some links so
here you are:

http://www.earlyamerica.com/review/summer97/secular.html
http://candst.tripod.com/tnppage/quote2.htm
\_ please please PLEASE learn something about
Colonial and English history. The whole
point of seperating church and state, and
distancing the christian god from the govern-
ment, is that in England, the King was the
head of the church. Look at the publishing
date of the Federalist Papers. There are
"facts" that back this up.
http://www.dimensional.com/~randl/founders.htm
\_ http://http://www.religioustolerance.org/nat_mott.htm
\_ These links have ZERO to do with the
intention of the founding fathers "The
U.S. National Mottos" - what
is your point? Either way socialist
secular sympathisers have effectively
won. However, when you are finally
able to get rid of the guns, and facism,
or shall we call victory of the
proletariat, finally comes to the free
world, you or your children have no
right to complain. Religious
fanatisism does not exist in the west, all
totalirian regimes have been strictly
atheist and secular.
\_ Wow. Not to confuse this argument with
facts, but... you're an idiot.
\_ Why do people bother posting drivel
like this? You're really not dragging
the poster down at all. Actually when
I see a long post written in decent
English followed by a quickie smear,
it only adds to the belief that they
may be right since you can't come up
anything better.
\_ I agree. When someone as kooky
as our religion loving nutcase
posts a drooling rant, it is
better to let it stand on its
own "merits." You can't argue
with someone whose belief is
based on faith, not reason.
\_ A bit more subtle but still just
a personal attack. Nice try.
How about you take a shot at
responding to his last point
about religious extremism in the
West vs. other parts of the
world. Then maybe you won't
look so intellectually weak.
\_ I have better things to do
than try and teach you
history. Look up Reformation
and Counter-Reformation in
any good reference to start.
\_ Not to mention the timothy
mcveighs and abortion bombers
and KKK members of the world.
Get a fucking clue.
\_ Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition!
\_ I did. Nothing new about persecution
of religious minorities even then.
\_ Nice to see them working on pragmatic solutions.
\_ Like it or not, the civilization you live in today
is the product of 2000 years of Christianity. Exactly
what is so offensive about spirituality?
\_ I have nothing against spirituality. I have everything against
other people shoving their religion down my throat. [formatd]
\_ What other people would that be?
\_ The president of the United States.
\_ And he's forcing you to commit Christian acts of
kindness how exactly? I don't recall hearing news of
the "Twice A Year Mandatory Christianity" bill getting
a lot of support in Congress. You sound like one of
those whining atheism-as-religion fanatics that make
us real atheist look like hypocritical crackpots. You
do real atheists a disservice with your noise.
\_ By virtue of holding a powerful position, the
urging of prayer by an elected leader can make
those uncomfortable with prayer feel uncomfortable
in their civic position. This is the drive behind
the separation of church and state, and the quaker
movement in general. Oh, also: atheism, while not
a religion, is, by naature, a religious choice.
The general intolorance to that choice is what the
previous poster is concerned with. |
