10/25 NPR In A Coma http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1008119/posts \_ that wasn't very interesting, and i can barely care less about old vegetative people wanting to die, i'm sure you can find a more entertaining hate filled free republic message topic. do you really not have anything better to do than report uncreative free republic webpage titles? i think you need a girlfriend. seriously. \_ I concur with the above. I am the worse for having read that. I hoped for some vitriolic anti-liberal ranting, but got boredom. |

10/25 The amazing web site reverser! Use any http://url.mirror.sytes.org, for instance: <DEAD>www.cnn.com.mirror.sytes.org<DEAD> Search the web for satanic messages! \_ Wow! Amazing! They ran web pages through perl's string reverse function! Wowowowow! \_ Actually, it's a little more interesting than that. The layout of the page also undergoes a vertical flip, though with varying degrees of success. It would be cooler if they flipped the images too. \_ They do flip the images. \_ Not on cnn, at least. of the page also undergoes a vertical flip. |

10/25 I'm looking for an ATX motherboard that supports the VIA C3 CPU. Has anybody heard of using this one with linux? VIA C3M266 http://www.viavpsd.com/product/C3M266_spec.jsp?motherboardId=101 \_ Do yourself a favor and buy a less than cutting edge intel chip. Here's a start: http://www.pricewatch.com \_ can any of those run with no fan? \_ probably not but you can get fans quiet enough that ambient room noise will be louder. |

10/25 Iraqi bloggers. These are great, regardless of your opinion on weblogs or the war in Iraq and the occupation. Different perspectives from different people that are a great substitute for so called "objective" reporting. Healing Iraq: http://healingiraq.blogspot.com This guy is very much in support of the war and the new administration. He has a lot of great stuff, particularly on the new right-wing Shiite movements. Baghdad Burning: http://riverbendblog.blogspot.com This woman is not a supporter of the Americans, although she's no hardcore Islamist. Good stuff on where all that reconstruction money is really going. Where is Raed: http://dear_raed.blogspot.com This the original Baghdad Blogger that everyone knows. He's still very coy about his actual position and seems very torn...so I guess you could put him somewhere in the middle. Supposedly there are two more, but I haven't been able to find them. Anyone? There will probably be even more in the future as the access and electricity situation changes. (note to motd cranks right and left: this post is balanced and there is no reason to censor it, unless you're a pud.) \_ Wait... how can iraqi bloggers be great if your opinion of weblogs is that they suck... \_ I was really hoping there wouldn't be a pile-on with this post, but... I would say that your opinion is perfectly valid, but so are the bloggers' opinions. None of them claim to be news reporters - they are simply people saying what they think. This is not a perspective you can find elsewhere at the moment, at least about Iraq. \_ Right wing? You mean Shiite branded Islamic movement? Baghdad Burning: http://riverbendblog.blogspot.com This woman is not a supporter of the Americans, although she's no hardcore Islamist. Good stuff on where all that reconstruction money is really going. Where is Raed: http://dear_raed.blogspot.com This the original Baghdad Blogger that everyone knows. He's still very coy about his actual position and seems very torn...so I guess you could put him somewhere in the middle. Supposedly there are two more, but I haven't been able to find them. Anyone? There will probably be even more in the future as the access and electricity situation changes. (note to motd cranks right and left: this post is balanced and there is no reason to censor it, unless you're a pud.) \_ too bad there are so many fucking puds around here. \_ it'll get censored for simply not being about linux and riding bike. anyway, just keep in mind when reading this stuff that no matter what opinion is expressed, it is from someone in the upper classes of iraqi society. the typical cab driver not only doesn't have net access, but probably doesnt own his cab either. \_ Agreed 100%, though I would argue that this is mostly true of bloggers in the West as well. |

10/25 Anybody have any good or bad things to say about http://godaddy.com? \_ I've had no probs with them. \_ Neither do I; I've bought two domain names from them and have them do the webhosting for one of them, and both accounts are problem-free. They have great technical support too (true 24x7). \_ after using dotster and gandhi, i gotta say like godaddy the best. |

10/25 http://www.sptimes.com/2003/10/26/Columns/Anti_Semitism_s_globa.shtml So if Jews control the world, why didn't I get the memo? I want to know where to signup for my piece. I'd like something with a beach and friendly natives to keep the drinks flowing and the food fresh. Thanks! --Salary slave Jew who stood in the wrong line \_ you lose. you are not really one of the 12 tribes. \_ I don't think you understand how it works. EVERYONE who was born of a jewish mother is a descendant of the 12 tribes. Now most people don't KNOW what tribe they belong to... but that's a different story. -- Jew \_ does that count for mothers who converted too? \_ no because she's definitely not one of the 12 tribes. if she can prove a connection to starbuck, apollo, or lorne greene then she can appeal to the elders of zion. \_ So Sammy Davis Jr isn't a chosen one? \_ Hey I'm totally from one of the 12 tribes. None of this lost battlestar galactica 13th tribe funny business for me! I just want my piece of the world! Is one small beach and some friendly natives so much to ask when the rest of my people are running the whole world? --op \_ Sorry, we don't have your piece of the world. You are asking the wrong people. asking the wrong people. And thanks for your insulting patronization of us natives. \_ I think Mahathir is still pissed that George Soros screwed his country during the Asian financial crisis. \_ if your country got fucked half as hard, you would of tossing nuclear warheads instead of just bitching about Jews |

10/25 Republicans LOSE again: link:csua.org/u/4sx \_ Hmm, control all 3 branches of government, no electable minority party candidate emerging from the 9 dwarves for 2004, got bill & \_ wow, what news do you read? you're in a dreamworld if you think dean/clark/kerry aren't "electable". read anything but hard right opinion lately? \_ I'll wager $1000 that none of them get elected as President in 2004. Are you up to it? -williamc \_ What kind of odds will you give me? http://tradesports.com will give me 60/40, can you match it? -ausman hillary lurking about screwing up the party for their own gain, and just lost the governorship of the largest state to an actor in an election where the majority party split their votes among two candidates but still won. If that's what it's like to be a loser I can't imagine how much better winning feels. Link unread because it's not worth the cut n paste effort to read a context free url. At least tell us what's there, otherwise you just look like a partisan whiney little bitch. \_ Uhm. Pot, Kettle, Black. \_ I think the emphasis was on WHINEY LITTLE BITCH, not partisan. \_ I think the emphasis was on the whole phrase. Nice try. \_ right, and I'm sure that from 1992 to 2000 the above partisan was totally respectful to the President and never whined once. People like that on both sides are useless. \_ Heh. Clinton doesn't deserve respect. The man is slime. \_ Clinton didn't sell a war on false pretexts or ignore his staff blowing the cover on a CIA agent, but he got a blowjob. What are your priorities? Sheesh. \_ Dude, did you listen to his speech? What false pretexts? Do you KNOW iraq has no WMD? Tell us how? You can be rich! \_ What, by reading the news? Get serious. \_ I repeat, how do you know? How do the reporters know? \_ Ah. So this is a NHSG existential answer, "No, dude! You totally 3am-talking-with-my-stoned roomates thing. I guess the right like a railroad spike!" answer is, "No, dude! You totally can't KNOW anything! Not unless it gets jammed through your head like a railroad spike!" Of course, as a basis for a voting adult to make real-world decisions it's completely assinine. \_ See, this is what I don't get. 3 billion dollars of Hussein's money magically slips through American fingers and ends up in Syrian banks, and no one thinks it's strange. How much easier do you think it would be to slip some key laboratory equipment or ampules out of the country? \_ We didn't go to war over a few ampules. Money can be wired. 10000L of nerve agent cannot. \_ You really think they wired those 3 billion to Syria? Are you fucking nuts? \_ By paying attention in class? \_ Clinton >> Bush. -independent \_ viewing a link is harder than ranting for 10-12 lines on the motd? |
