2/8 I'm against this war because it's all about oil, but even if
it isn't I'm not convinced Iraq is harbouring weapons of mass
destruction, but even if they are I'm against this war because
the UN has not authorized it, but even if they do I'm against
this war unless there's an imminent threat, but even if there
is I'm against this war because an invasion would prove a
military disaster, but even if it isn't I'm against this war
because toppling Saddam would increase terrorism, but even if it
doesn't I'm against this war because the world will see us as
unilateralist, but even if it doesn't I'm against this
war because it will cost too much, but even if it doesn't it's
because we used Iraqi oil to pay for it. See, I told you it's
all about oil. Besides, what about North Korea?"
\_ This was really amusing. Thanks. |

2/8 I am thinking of getting an ADSL. I have a choice of 5 dynamic
IP, or one single static IP. My issue is as follows: I want
to run my little server from home, but at the same time,
I will be sharing this broadband with two or more computer.
What should I do? Get the Static IP option and buy a router
off shelf? Would that give me the ability to run server?
thanks. nerd wantta be
\_ Dynamic IPs don't work with cable modem.
\_ if the router does port forwarding (and most do), yes, you can
run a server easily enough. or you can go for the dynamic IP
addresses and use something like dynamic DNS.
\_ I saw http://easyDNS.com offer such service. Any other relatively
good and cheap DNS service? -OP
\_ DynDNS. They have great, configurable services, and
most don't cost.
\_ I'd do the static IP. A zillion small businesses run just fine with
a single static IP. You can too. Dynamic dns gives a lame and
highly unprofessional look to your domain.
\_ While I suggest going with static IP, you can side-step
the unprofessional look by making your FQDN a CNAME
to your dynamic name (e.g., http://www.domain.com CNAME <DEAD>host.dyndns.org<DEAD>)
\_ For the clueless (like me), how would I do this?
\_ 1) Set up a http://dyndns.org host (e.g., <DEAD>host.dyndns.org<DEAD>)
2) Register domain (e.g., http://domain.com)
3) Make http://www.domain.com an alias for <DEAD>host.dyndns.org<DEAD>.
You can use http://UltraDNS.com.
\_ Or pay for IP masking. Try http://GoDaddy.com
\_ Definitely Static IP. Then buy a $50 router for the rest of your
machines. If you have a "server", just put that on the DMZ.
\_ Thanks all for the reply. I will probably go for Static IP
and put the server in the DMZ like other people said. I will
instead of putting it in the DMZ. there is a lot of network
explorer various DNS service options. -OP
\_ for your first server, i recommend using port-forwarding
instead of putting it in the DMZ. there are many network

\_ Great idea. Go ahead and port forward to a insecure box
on your intranet. When the next wu-ftpd or proftpd exploit
comes out your entire intranet is compromised. Wozer! |

2/10 How would you recycle a chair mat? Like you would with plastic?

barcode first, and remove any valuables from the body. |

be easier being an extra, since you can just leave afterward.
\_ Yeah. it sucked because i was really attached to one of them.
fucked with my head more than my cock. Don't do it unless you're
sure you want it.
\_ Yeah, especially if the one you are attached to is not your SO.
I've been fantasizing having a threesome with my wife and her
sister-in-law, but I know if I could really get it I'd screw up
big time because it'd just turn into sex with her sis-in-law and
sure you want it.
my wife merely watching.
\_ I assume your wife's brother's wife, and not your sister,
right? :)
\_ Exactly.
\_ it can be fun, but, the attention/time-share can be difficult
to juggle.
\_ Yeah a bunch of them. They were all great experiences except for
the one with someone I was really mad about. That one made
made me jealous.

\_ No, I'm all for sex with multiple girls.
\_ Sure you are, sport.

I've been fantasizing having a threesome with jordan and
palestine, but I know if I could really get it I'd screw up
big time because it'd just turn into carnage with her mossad and
the plo.

\_ Exactly.
\_ it can be fun to fuck with the middle east, but,
the attention/time-share can be difficult to juggle.
\_ Listen to "Loveline" on Live105 10-midnight sun-thu. this
question comes up often. And ususally the answer is "don't do
it with anybody you care about, because after this experience,
your relationship will be irreversably changed, lots of confused
feelings and soon (two months) you will break up. Every time.
\_ i like loveline - it's amusing to listen to but i don't
think their advice is necessarily that good. They've heard
every romantic problem under the sun and they assume that
what works for one person will always work for someone else.
\_ I think they've heard the EXACT same situations hundreds
of times, and interestingly enough, psychological
reactions and conditions for different people are more
similar that you would think.
\_ at least taken from the sample of people who would
actually call into loveline.
\_ Exactly! Last night Adam Carolla said
"200% of our callers have been molested" :) |

2/8 I want to assemble a Firewire hard disk that is reasonably quiet (to
be used at home). Which case (if it matters) and drive are good?\
\_ Why do you want Firewire external disk?
\_ cuz I only have a laptop with 1394.
\_ Another question, is an ata/133 drive backward compatiable with
an enclosure that supports upto ata/100?
\_ yes
\_ Drive, I personally prefer the IBM/Hitachi 180GXP, but others like
Western Digital Special Editions with big cache. Watch out
for how many GB the enclosure can support. The IBM/Hitachi 40GNX
line are good 2.5" drives.
\_ Seagate is known for having the quietest drives in the industry;
that might be a good place to start. --sowings |

2/10 Powell's going to burst a vessel, Rumsfeld won't know what to do,
and Bush won't say anything until Friday at the earliest. I bet
they didn't expect Putin to publicly back France/Germany on expanded
inspections.
\_ Bush does not care what any of these countries think, why should he?
We will be at war with Iraq in six weeks, tops.
\_ France and Germany have already admitted Iraq has WMD. To them,
the question is one of economics and their trade relationship with
Iraq. This is what happens when Greens involve themselves
in international affairs.
\_ Wait, kind of like the Union Banking Corporation (director
Prescott Bush, grandfather of current president) financing
Nazi industry in WWII? The only reason US companies aren't
complaining is because of Sept 11 and bad PR.
\_ This analogy makes no sense at all. So you, as an anti-
corporate Chomskite, are the arch public relations
corporate Chomskyite, are the arch public relations
officer for the entire Fortune 500 and speak
as their representative? I guess we are fortunate to
have you on the motd.
\_ Both of these arguments carry little weight. I could
just as easily argue that Republican Texas-raised Bush
and his old cronies seek control over a major oil
source to counter OPEC. After all, Dubya's National
Security Adviser has an oil tanker named after her,
\_ The US doesn't care about the WMD either.
from where she used to work.
\_ Not "work"; she was on the
board of directors. Hardly
the same thing.
\_ And triangulating the Saudis would be a bad idea?
We can't go after them directly.
\_ The US doesn't care about the WMD either. It is all about
economics on both sides.
\_ I thought it was more about the US having a huge, costly force
commitment.
\_It's all about control that extra 8% (whatever) of oil
reserve. It's all about expanding the sphere of influence
into that region. In the long run, controlling these oil
reserve worth a lot more than billions of dollars we
dump... at least what is what the president-I-didn't-vote-
for think. This is pure US aggression, imperalism at
it's finest since the Opium War 150 years ago.
\_ Right... the U.S.'s blatant history of
naked aggresion and military / economic
subversion of its sphere of influence.
Anyways, its much better to let the Soviets

militant Islam for example.
or EU control the region. Take France's
brilliant history of allying itself with
militant Islam for example - we need more of
this. Enforcing UN resolutions is
imperialism now is it?
Where were all of you sanctimonious pacifists
when Clinton wanted to do the exact same thing
in 1998 or when we saved the EU's ass in the
Balkans.

2/10 Any familiar with the Bible here? Do all the quotes in
http://www.biblesexstories.com really exist in the Bible? Or are they
just pranks?
\_ Try reading the damn thing yourself. Yes, they are in the Bible.
\_ http://www.biblegateway.com
\_ They are there, but interpretations differ for some of them.
\_ http://www.thebricktestament.com/genesis/cain_and_abel/gn04_01a.html
\_ The stories he talks about ARE actually in the bible, however,
the interpretations he writes are mostly pretty off. Mainly
because he has no understanding of anchient hebrew culture, and
doesn't actually know what's going on.
\_ What other interpretations can there be for someone making her
father drink wine and laying with her father and preserving his
seed and then baring a child by her father?
\_ Notice I said "mostly." That one is acurate, but notice
he doesn't do much interpretation at all on that one.
I was more refering to "Abraham and Hagar" and "David and
Johnathan."
\_ Ah, I remember my first bible sex story. It was given to me by
Father Michael, and came wrapped in brown paper. |
