6/3 How do I listen to the world cup games?
I think the BBC is broadcasting to European internet
users. How do I listen to this? - danh
\_ Why would you want to listen to color commentators from any
country other than mexico? I recommend that you learn spanish and
listen to latino radio for your world cup coverage,
GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL
GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAL!!!!!
GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAL!!!
\_ For some bizarre reason, this seems to be common with all S.
American announcers I've heard. Anyway, why would you care
about the world cup? FIFA is evil. -John
\_ OK, I'll bite. And why is are they evil?
\_ They're corrupt, they fuck taxpayers in host countries
for all they're worth under the name of some wishy-
washy let's-all-get-along-through-soccer idea, and
people are dumb enough to go along with them. FIFA is
basically a mixture of F1 racing, the IOC and any
American commercial major league in terms of their
business practices and how they work. If you want
good soccer, go play pickup. -John
\_ How does that make them different than anyone else
in sports?
\_ It doesn't really, but the IOC and most US major
leagues are a joke too. -John
\_ It's funny when they start to do that but then it turns out
not to be a goal for some reason and they suddenly stop.
\_ Move to the UK
\_ Try BBC Five Live:

http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio/aod/fivelive.shtml?listen
\_ So you probably need a UK HTTP proxy cause they're suppose to
be checking IP's at the door |

6/3 I took several years of Chinese in Berkeley. Ranch 99 in Albany has
\_ 99 Ranch
quite a few wanted ads posted in Chinese for tenants, many requiring
you to be female or be of Chinese ethnicity. This makes me very
angry. Isn't this clearly DISCRIMINATION and can I sue them?
Do I have a case? ACLU claims this is not legal:
http://www.aclunc.org/language/lang-report.html
\_ Honestly, I'd rather face direct discrimination in this case
than hidden discrimination. I mean, all they have to
do is say "no" to whomever they don't want and not explain
why, and it is difficult to make a case. At least
this way you don't waste your time. --PeterM
\_ The ACLU doesn't seem to say it's illegal in housing. -tom
\_ But CA law does. See below.
\_ Unless this is a roommate situation, it's illegal to advertise for
female-only tenants. Sue 'em on that.
\_ California's FEHA is the primary state law which prohibits
discrimination in the sale, rental, lease negotiation, or
financing of housing based on a person's race, religion,
national origin, color, sex, marital status, ancestry, family
status, disability,sexual orientation, and source of income.

\_ I don't know how they phrase it in ranch 99, but I usually
state my "preference" on my craigslist ad. If you are a
business managing an apartment complex, then you probably
shouldn't say "female only", but if someone's just looking
for a roommate, then I don't see what the big problem is.
\_ This stuff has gone on in Berkeley for decades.
\_ Well then, we need to sue Berkeley. Reverse discrimination
is bad for our superior Ayran race! |

6/3 previously cating the motd through "more" would leave the motd on my
screen after I quit out of "more", now when I quit the screen reverts
and there is no history of the file mored (as if i was in vi or some
such) What has changed? |
