2/24 http://csua.org/u/9db -finally they arrest the strike leaders. I wonder if that means oil will finally drop; the strike is 30% of the reason oil's been going up. \_ Yeah, I guess if getting rid of a corrupt political leader interferes with your getting a cheap tankful of gas by jailing a few brave souls, then god speed to ya'. \_ Gosh, in that case, would you like to join the general strike to remove a corrupt politician who gained his position through unconstitutional manipulation of a a corrupt electoral system? At the least, you wouldn't mind if we shut down the economy for a few days to do so, right? \_ if the people of the United States had enough savvy and guts to do just that I'd help in any way I could. \_ Yawn. Your own media spent months trying to prove your assertion and failed. Go back to alt.conspiracy. |

2/24 Iraq War Humor:
US secretary of state Colin Powell was recently approached by
an Iraqi newspaper reporter and was accusingly asked, "Isn't
it true that only 13 percent of young American citizens can
locate Iraq on a map?"
Secretary Powell stopped, turned, and stated "Yes, this fact
cannot be denied....but, unfortunately for you, all 13 percent
are United States Marines.
\_ not sure if the following is a joke or not,
from the New Yorker:
The other day, Secretary of State Colin Powell was reminded
that his boss [the President] is in bed by ten and
sleeps like a baby. Powell reportedly replied,
"I sleep like a baby, too -- every two hours I wake up screaming."

2/24 Okay, I know this type of question has been asked before, but
here goes. I'm currently using http://domaindirect.com for my
registrar--they also handle my email (1 pop account + 5
forwarding addresses + catch-all). The problem is that they
only provide www forwarding (with perhaps "url keeper" which
wraps the page in a frame and it still looks like the domain,
but is a pretty cheesy technique). Anyway, I'd like to move to
a hosting service that allows me to keep the same (or better)
email services, and do either web hosting or aliasing to (say)
a http://dyndns.org site. domaindirect costs about $35/yr. and I'd
like it to be cheap, but I'm willing to pay more for better
service if necessary. Suggestions?
\_ DynDNS
\_ Um, did you notice that I mentioned dyndns? Do they handle
hosting? Do they handle email redirects? Do I have to run my own
mail server? Everything I checked about dyndns shows that it's a
partial solution, not a complete one.

\_ http://gandi.net is cheap. They won't do hosting but they'll handle
mail forwarding and aliasing. the downside is they are in
Europe and you'll get all your e-mail in French (and English).
\_ I have had 5 domains with gandi for > 3 years now. They are
great, their service is fast, their TOS are unambiguous.
Regarding the DNS, you can do it with the public DNS service.
Look at http://soa.granitecanyon.com -- I found it very
difficult to get working, though, but it does work. And it's
free. -John |

2/24 Hi, I have a cookie question. My bank requires that the browser
enables cookies in order to log into the web site. And so I do
enabled it just for that web site. My question is, can the contents
of that cookie be seen by another web site that I visit? Thanks.
\_ No.
\_ Short answer, No. Long answer: No, but there have been browser
bugs in the past that made it possible to do this. |

2/24 Help! I have a blind date and no idea where to take her.
Any suggestions? Thanks!
\_ Into my pants
\_ No need to take her to a smelly, overhyped place that no one's
actually been to.
\_ What're you calling overhyped?
\_ why is my penis so huge?
\_ Don't ask questions, son. Now get back on my lap.
\_ The Alley Cat on Grand in Oakland. After 9pm
\_ is this a joke? I used to like this place when I lived in
Berk.
\_ take her to that retarded new upcoming movie with
steve martin and queen latifah
\_ obStripClub
\_ No-Name Sushi (aka Yokoso Nippon) 314 Church St. in SF.
Medium quality sushi. Impressively low prices, hole-in-the-wall
atmosphere. You'll usually spend 10-15 minutes in line outside,
but that's sort of part of the experience.
\_ I think they must fill the sushi w/ starch or something, because
everytime I go there I come out feeling like I ate a steak and
potato dinner, as opposed to sushi. But the place is cool...
\_ you have a weird idea of cool.
\_ Move to texas then.
\_ can I get good sushi in texas without waiting in line
outside for 15 minutes and not feeling like I need
to throwup? Does living in the bay area automatically
mean bad sushi at crowded dives? Does Texas mean
good sushi in a nice place? If so, I'm there, buddy!
\_ Sushi is mostly starch.
\_ ??? Explain yourself. Or are you thinking of tempura?
\_ hello? rice?
\_ Just the raw fish, baby, no rice here.
\_ Sashimi is the proper term.
\_ its all about the mercury, kids!
\_ Yeah, find out from the person who set you up what she likes and
go from there. Damn you need to get smacked by the Clue Club.
\_ Good idea, but don't go somewhere you're not interested in
just to impress her, or she's going to think you're into
that sort of thing.
\_ spoken like a true soda geek. figure out what she likes.
do that, even if setting yourself on fire would be preferable.
repeat 3 times. bang her. discard. start over.
\_ And you're speaking like the stereotypical male asshole?
\_ whats wrong with putting in some minor effort to make your
date happy? you might as well just go bang some oakland
hooker if you dont care.
\_ what's the point in making your date think you like some
thing you don't? That's hardly a good start to a
relationship.
\_ he's just a tough guy with 20 bucks burning a hole and
a thing for hookers.
\_ thought that guy moved to japan and has a striking
resemblance to Kim Il Jong
\_ like i said, spoken like true soda geeks. and
how well did all that collective sodan wisdom
work?
\_ not really sure what you said but not being an
asshole got me a beautiful, intelligent, very
well educated, loving wife. whats being an
asshole gotten you? aids? herpes? syph?
\_ Popeye sized arms. I like to switch.
\_ Yo' I got half-a-dozen kids in half-a-dozen
states. I am biologically successful, unlike
your pansy ass. How many kids do you have?
\_ It only means that you can't last long
enough for her to cum, so you can't
withdraw.
\_ Your simplistic views on biological
success will purge you from the race.
You're better off having a smaller number
of successful children than a larger #
that won't breed (but will have sex) in
prisons across 6 states.
\_ BDG, can you explain this guys folly?
\_ Tourrettes Without Regrets. Part poetry slam, part variety show,
part shock theater. Always fun. Sometimes gross and juvenile.
She might be offended or upset, but I wouldn't want to date
someone that would be offended after checking it out once.
