5/26 Best side scroller game...

A Bush bashing link on the motd. What a shock. \_ Here's a nickle kid. Buy yourself a sense of humor. \_ Quite similar to the movie comming out today in this respect: goes to extremes making stuff up in order to bash right wing politics. \_ Was the game ALSO written by Art Bell? \_ See now, why don't you put up a website listing all of the made-up stuff instead of just whining about it? \_ obGoogle. It's all over and you wouldn't care anyway. \_ Funny, this is what I found: link:csua.org/u/7hi \_ Ok, and? |

5/26 Politically motivated threat warnings?
http://www.nytimes.com/2004/05/27/politics/27terror.html
"' ... There's no real new intelligence, and a lot of this has been
out there already,' said one administration official who spoke on
the condition of anonymity."
\_ Yet another BushCo conspiracy to destroy American credibility around
the world for generations to come! So, if something blew up and
10,000 people got killed would you be the first one here screaming
that they didn't warn us? And then next you'll say they warn us
too much and you're 'terrorist alert weary'.
\_ General warnings count for shit, even if something does happen.
What matters is that they take the right precautions to keep
security tight. If they know of a specific threat, then by all
means warn us and take precautions, but just saying "something
bad might happen" is no better than fear-mongering.
\_ Rice got smashed for the last time when they had non specific
warnings and they didn't tell the world. Now they tell the
world about non-specific warnings and you bitch about it.
\_ Well, there's no new information. They haven't raised the
threat level. Why all the sudden warnings? Don't be such a
tool.
\_ Because Memorial Day is traditionally the kickoff for the
summer vacation season. And the suspicion is that there might
be an attack during the summer vacation season. Didn't you
see how Condi Rice got hammered for not doing anything after
the memo a month before 9/11 with no new or specific
information?
information? -emarkp
\_ But are they doing anything that they wouldn't be doing
anyway, besides trying to make big headlines that
essentially say, "WATCH OUT! BAD MUSLIMS! FEAR!"
The Condi threat memo is a nice attempt at a dodge, but
doesn't relate to this case at all.
\_ Uh, if they were doing anything different, you probably
wouldn't know about it. And how is the threat memo a
dodge? As I read it, the administration is getting
criticized for saying anything now, but would get
criticized later if they didn't say anything now.
-emarkp
\_ It's just the "I hate Bush no matter what" contingent
on the prowl. There's no point in talking with them.
\_ Read the polls lately? Looked around? Bush isn't
exactly Mr. Popularity these days.
\_ Are you the same person who was whining about
lack of substance above? Either you're here
to disucss things seriously or you're here to
fuck around, make noise, and tell us all
(again) how much you hate Bush. You can't have
it both ways. And you totally ducked what
emarkp had to say.
\_ Bush's strongest support comes from anti-terrorism. If there's
a successful attack and he didn't sound some warning, that will
take away from his #1 strength. Can't let that happen. Wouldn't
be prudent.
Raising the terror threat level costs money. If there's no
attack, or god-forbid the attack occurs after the threat level
is lowered, then this again takes away from his #1 strength.
\_ I have credible evidence that the Administration will attack
John Kerry in the near future.
\_ You think they'll send Ashcroft out with a bat to a Kerry
campaign stop and whack in his knees?
\_ They outsource that type of thing.
\_ I have no details of where or when they intend to attack,
but I think it's important that the American public be
reminded of how serious this is.
\_ That ice skater chick survived to get a silver medal.
John Kerry will ski again! |

5/26 Does anyone know anything about the Unbreakable Autolock? It's like a
Club that fits on your brake pedal. I can't find any user reviews
online (like on amazon, epinions, etc). Thanks.
\_ If you have a car that's so expensive that you're worried about
it being stolen then it's probably already got some kind of
immobilizer chip built in.
\_ Not at all. It's a low-price car, one that's very easy
to break into. I know all these anti-theft devices
can be broken, but I just want a cheap, easy deterrent.
\_ Um, not only expensive cars get stolen. Hondas, especially in
California, are among the most cars stolen.
\_ Camrys and Tauruses are in the top 5 or 10 most frequently stolen
cars. I don't think the OP's concerns are unreasonable.
\_ They are in the top 5 most numerous cars, which is why
they are most stolen.
\_ I think it has more to do with ease of entry, etc. These
cars are pretty renowned for being very easy to break
into. I don't think this contradicts my earlier point,
though.
http://money.cnn.com/2004/02/27/pf/autos/nicb_most_stolen
None of these are particularly 'expensive' or likely to
have elaborate anti-theft electronics.
\_ I think the statistics is how many stolen per 1000 cars.
\_ No. If you want those statistics then look here:
http://www.iihs.org/news_releases/2003/pr082103_hldi.htm
Camry doesn't even make the list.
\_ Tauruses? No fucking way. I've parked mine in the worst
neighrborhoods and industrial back alleys for 7 years and
the worst thing that happened is some dipshit used it for a
shelf and scratched the hood in a campus parking lot. I
*wish* someone would have stolen it when the replacement
value was higher.
\_ See above link.
\_ Reading the link didn't help me get my Taurus stolen
about 4 years ago. I considered leaving the keys in
and walking away but I'm not that unethical.
\_ There's a wider world outside your skull and limited
experience, you know.
\_ you're an idiot. i just wanted my car stolen.
\_ AutoLock - about $60 (pro version), the older version is about $30
I think somewhere someone was still able to break it, however it
is very hard to. Get it at Kragen.

5/27 Hey MOTD, I was thinking about buying a mattress for my apartment,
but I don't know anything about them. Anyone have any useful advice
for me? Anyone ever heard of Stearns&Foster? TIA.
\_ I have no idea about how healthy/bad they are for you, but try a
good quality futon--I love mine. -John
\_ Unless your back is exceptionally snooty or sensitive, mattress
selection isn't as important as commercials make it out to be. Just
go based on price, since big-name (e.g. Sealy) mattresses can
get expensive. As a starting point look at what mattress you're
sleeping on right now and look into buying another. I'm actually
using an Ikea mattress, which was very inexpensive, and surprisingly
good quality. And comfortable.
\_ I'm happy sleeping on the floor, a hard bench, a couch or yermom's
lap but getting the right matress is critical to good long term
sleep. Try it in ths store. Snuggle up, enjoy it. Make sure it
feels really good because you'll be sleeping on it for a few years
and so will your lover(s).
\_ The Tempurpedic matresses are really nice. I just can't see
spending the (what is it, $3,000, $5,000?) money for it.
\_ What's life long chronic back pain worth to you?
\_ As a $500 mattress does the job almost as well, the
question is moot.
\_ That's what I thought until I got a real matress. The
question is neither moot not moo. Get a good matress and
avoid mad cows.
\_ Moo? WTF?
\_ Yes. Moo. What about it?

5/27 Is there any way to get around the WinXP registration requirement,
besides re-installing every now and then? Has anyone tried this: set
the CMOS date to Year 2010 or so, install XP, then set the date back to
today. Would that work?
\_ Why don't you just get the corp edition and enter in a volume
license key?
\_ Won't that eat up one license count from my company? How does
volume licensing work?
\_ So download a license generator and generate new keys.
\_ There are real bona-fide cracks, but this is not the place for them
\_ Install XP inside a vm, take a snapshot after the install, then
revert when necessary (assumes you just want for testing purposes;
if you actually want to use XP as your base OS, consider buying it).
\_ Any free vm out there that runs on top of NT? If I install XP
inside a vm on top of NT, will the XP apps be able to use USB
ports? The reason I want to switch to XP is that I can't use the
USB ports on my NT machine.
\_ Free? You pirated XP, why don't you pirate the VM, too?
\_ Because I don't have access to a legit copy of vm.
\_ Uh yeah... so why not pirate that, too? You're already
asking how to violate the MS license. Why not violate
the VM one as well?
\_ And if you did buy XP Pro and don't want the hassle of
activation, go the Corporate Ed. route. |

5/27 New evidence of a link between Iraq and al Qaeda.
http://www.opinionjournal.com/editorial/feature.html?id=110005133
\_ Mommy, why does the WSJ want me to reigister?
\_ csuamotd@csua.berkeley.edu
\_ As if the WSJ editorial page had any fucking credibility.
\_ Thank you.
\_ Funny, I find that nothing that disagrees with me has any
credibility either.
\_ The WSJ has really gone downhill since Jan or so. Remember
the whole Kerry intern disinformation campaign? WSJ was
part of it. In general, they have become very partisan.
Read The Economist if you want pro Free Market opinions
without the Republican Party slant.
\_ Yeah. Anyone remember Vince Foster's suicide note?
\_ Kerry was fucking some hot chick. Nothing wrong with that.
He has a life long history of womanizing. It didn't hurt
Clinton any. Women voted for him in droves. Kerry should
revel in it. It makes him much more human than his endless
drumbeat about his very short Vietnam stay and his endless
speachifying. It isn't disinformation if it's true. I
think it can only help his campaign.
\_ Is there any way to get the LA or NY Times w/o the
democaratic party slant?
\_ Easy: Don't just read the LA/NY Times. Try BBC, CBC,
and some of the east Asian online mags.
\_ East asian magizines? The Korean newspapers I
read have plenty of party slant... -jrleek
\_ Not really. Read lots of stuff, read between lines.
Apply brain. Most importantly look for what they
*don't* say because that's where they hide their a lot
of their bias. For example, are we still losing 2-5
soldiers per day in Iraq? Is the power and water
situation stable? Are kids going to school? Are people
eating? How many people there are looking forward to
their first real vote in their entire lives? How many
of Sadr's men were killed by anti-Sadr Iraqis? If
Sadr and friends have 10,000 people total, doesn't that
mean there are still ~26 million others who haven't
taken up arms against us? Why hasn't the Shia/Sunni
war broken out? Why haven't the Kurds broken away from
Turkey? Why does nothing good ever seem to get reported
about anything going on in Iraq? Is it true that there
is nothing at all good happening there? If it bleeds,
it leads. Welcome to American 'journalism'.
\_ Americans want news about how we'll be leaving
a nice democracy in Iraq, and no more American
deaths. Americans also want to hear any news about
why this won't be coming soon.
\_ Christian Science Monitor is a great source, without
any discernable partisanship. There is probably no
replacement for the Washington Post, alas. The Week
is good if you only have time to spend two hrs/week
on news. Yeah, if you have time, read everything and
make up your own mind, but I don't have time for that.
\_ The CSM? It's run by evil Xtians! And the WAPO is
run by the Moonies!
\_ No, the washington post is a decent paper. The
washington times is run by the moonies, and it's
a total rag.
\_ If Bush or Condi say something about it, maybe I'll start paying
attention. In the mean time, it's just Republican catnip.
\_ Catnip? Yes, all registered (R)'s get a free subscription to
the WSJ. It's a better written paper than the NYT which has a
rather poor track record for clean reporting these last few
years and those are just the ones we know about.
\_ (1) "The New York Times publicly took itself to task for its
pre-Iraq war coverage, admitting it was taken in by spurious
information from Iraqi exiles with their own agenda to oust
Saddam Hussein." - May 26
(2) The WSJ published the name of a juror in the trial
against the Tyco exec. I've read about WSJ's excuse.
(3) Republican catnip. Circumstantial evidence is what
circumstantial does. Look what it did to Bush. The
weight of credibility lies on him now. I'm going to wait
for him to support the next claim, since everyone is now
watching him carefully, since he has no one left to blame
(already blamed the CIA, already blamed Chalabi, who's left?).
\_ Is this that whole thing from the wall about repeating the
"American credibility is destroyed for generations!" until
it becomes 'truth' Soviet style? You need to be more
\_^Soviet^Bush
consistent if you're going to put over the Big Lie on
everyone. You don't post that crap nearly enough to get
the rest of your audience repeating it.
\_ Do you have any idea how bad the image of America is
overseas right now? Do you ever leave the country?
Read polls? I dunno about the generations bit, but
Bush has destroyed American credibility overseas.
\_ Given that America is as powerful as the next 20
countries put together, perhaps a better question is,
what credibility do the overseas have with us?
\_ Wow, talk about missing the point.
\_ Nuke the rest of the world and we won't have any
credibility problems. Fuck the foreigners!
\_ Alas, no, I am not the person who posted about
credibility earlier. I am still waiting for you to
dispute my points. |

\_ They really need something like this for Bush:
Mission Accomplished! Mission not accomplished!
Baathists out. Baathists in.
Will significantly reduce troops in a year. More troops longer.
WMD. WMD program. No WMD or WMD program.

dirt that they come up with is that he *gasp* flip-flops!
\_ If ____ were Kerry his faults would be more than mere flip
floppery but that's the easiest and most amusing charge to
level. I voted for flip flopping before I voted against
flip flopping!
\_ Right, why argue policy or substantive issues when you
can just make up easy shit?
\_ "I HATE BUSHCO BECUZ DEYRE EEEVVVIILL!!" When you're
ready to keep your personal hatred to yourself and
argue those substantive issues I'm here. -real consrvtv
\_ Nice strawman. The only one frothing here is you.
[restored, censors and smashers can go fuck off]
\_ I never froth. I'm just voting for things before
I vote against them. You have *never* seen the
word "hate" come out of my keyboard unless it was
referring to someone else's use or state of
emotion. There are very few things in the world
worthy of true hatred. Politicians aren't worth
the energy it would take to hate them especially
since all you can really do about them in the end
is vote against them and that's not enough to
satisfy the deep hatred I've seen others express.
Have a nice day! :-)
\_ You have a limited understanding of politics
if you believe that all you can do is vote.
I have helped put laws on the ballot that
were then passed, raised thousands of dollars
for my favored candidates, lobbied my
legislators and changed at least a few other
voters minds on the way. Don't diminish
your own power like that. |

5/27 For that $70k coder who was going to ask for a raise. Did you do it?
how did it go?
\_ got outsourced!
\_LOL, you sob!
\_ did it, but review is delayed until end of 4th quarter.
put my resume out and got quite a few responses so far
sticking at job until i find something, they will counter
offer only when I will leave, not giving notice because
they fire tons of people without notice.
\_ yep look around, lots of oppertunities out there now. I also went
and talked to my VP of Eng, it is delayed until mid next month. I
think I'll put my resume out as well because if he's sincere, he
should at least give me a good faith offer.
\_ You should give notice but not until you find a new job. Why
would you let them know you were looking before you actually got
a new job? My God, are Cal people really this unprepared for
life in the real world? Cal needs a class on how to get by in
the real world. Notice means, "I already have a new job, I'm not
interested in your counter offer, I hate your guts but I'm giving
you two worthless weeks of slacking and short hours so you can't
ruin my good name by saying I walked out with no notice".
\_ hahah, I like that. better yet, just give a day notice because
I ain't coming back. when I got laid off, I didn't get two
weeks of pay. it sucks to be the last one to be laid off.
people got laid off during the first round got six month of
paid. Even the guy that was fired also got some severance. in
the real world, you'll just know how to whine and complain to
the the money. :)
\_ No matter how your job sucks, exercise noblesse oblige and
\-you have an odd
notion of noblesse
oblige --psb, exer-
cising dictionary
oblige
don't burn bridges. Word gets around, and the world is
small--and even if 9/10 of your colleagues are shit, you
may find yourself working with the tenth someday, and want
to leave him with a good impression. Just give notice,
smile, say thank you, and leave. -John
\_ Maybe he actually wanted to stay at the current job as long as
his pay is raised. So he threatened to leave by giving the
notice that he's looking for a job elsewhere.
\_ Good managers know that once someone gives notice they're
gone. A raise granted under those conditions won't keep
the employee around for more than 6 months. If he wants a
raise he should ask for a raise and then when he doesn't
get one they have no reason to waste his time with a fake
counter. There's also the risk that they'll give him the
raise he wants and then replace his ass 3 weeks later since
they know he's going to quit in 6 months anyway *and* that
other job is now gone so he's fucked. Get new job, quit
old job, move on like a professional, forget about them.
\_ I didnt tell them I am looking. i told them I'll wait
for the review to come. In the meantime I will look for
a job and when I do find one, leave without 2 weeks
notice.
\_ Give the 2 weeks. I just quit the worst job I ever had but
I gave the 2 weeks. I slacked off, got paid for it, and
they can't tell their manager buddies in other companies
that I walked without notice. It's a very small industry.
Do yourself a favor. No matter how much you hate them,
give the two weeks. Slack off, come in late, leave early,
take long lunches, accomplish nothing, but get those two
weeks officially on the books.
\_ will do, going fishing during lunch
\_ As long as you were officially there on the books and
didn't walk out in a no-notice huff, fishing, fucking,
or anything else during your 3 hour lunch is the way
to go.
\_ If the alternative is doing violence to your boss,
walk out in a huff. Better to be known as someone
who quits without giving notice that someone who
assaults his supervisors.
\_ How about, returning to your desk calmly, writing
a two-weeks-notice letter, and giving that to him
the next day?
\_ That would be too mature a response for some motd
people. ;-) I agree with you in concept but I
still think there's no reason to walk in a huff.
If things are *that* bad you have a lawsuit.
\_ Yeah, but you *really* don't want to get
a reputation as a guy who sues his employer.
\_ Nope, take the two weeks and walk. |
