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.

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?

\_ 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 Is there a nitrous leak in the bay area or what? what's with the motd?

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 |

mostly fell flat. Lots of uncomfortable moments. |

10/25 With DDR-SDRAM, what's the benefits/drawbacks of registered vs.
un-registered?
\_ price vs reliability
\_ is registered fully supported?
\_ what do you mean by fully supported?
\_ If my motherboard uses DDR will registered "just work"? |

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
