6/5 VMWare Server 1.0.0.3 vs. MS Virtual PC 2007, which is better? Thx.
\_ VMW is "better" for long term pseudo production use but VPC is
easier to setup and get started. VPC also has nearly zero options
to tweak if your OS/apps aren't happy.
\_ Don't have time to setup and learn about virtual machines? Don't
care about performance? Just want to play around? Use VPC.
Have lots of time to fine tune and optimize every little parameter
out there for best performance? Love to tinker around with hundreds
of options for production services? Use VMWare. |

6/5 I used to date a Republican girl. I was pretty much whipped. I
went along with whatever she had to say. She'd say things like
"GWB encourages oil refineries in the Middle East so that when
they run out of oil, we'll still have plenty left! Pretty darn
smart eh?" Whatever she said, I just listened and accepted without
any objection. Reason: the pre-marital sex was absolutely amazing,
and for sex, I turned into a Republican. Now that the relationship
is over, I feel so liberated. It's amazing how my addiction to
sex turned me into a complete moron.
\_ This is actually a pretty good reason to be a Republican. Who
are you dating now?
\_ Just bobbing your head in return for her own head bobbing
doesn't "turn your into a Republican", but it may say
something about your priorities [I mean that non-judgementally].
Usually, it's the other way around where guys go along with
fruitcake liberal girls. In fact one reason some right-wing
nutjob groups are so powerful is they spend their fridays nights
promoting their politics while liberals spend their friday nights
in hedonistic pursuits ... but of course when something like
abortion rights is seriously challenged, that may roust them.
BTW, are you sure she was really a Republican or was she just
an materialist/egoist. Did she believe in "conservative
values" like pemartitial sex is wrong etc or she just believed
in lower taxes and welfare queens should get a job. Just out
of curisority what profeession was she in? Sales?
\_ Yes she was a hardcore Republican because she was raised
that way. Let me clarify and say that she's socially
liberal but values most non-religious Republican values
like small government, self-reliant, hatred for the poor
who use welfare (she thinks they're lazy so they deserve
nothing from her), racial superiority, pre-emptive strike
on people who are "evil", self righteous, and lastly,
STUBBORN. There is no possibility that anyone could
change her opinion because they've been hardcoded since
childhood. Profession? How is this relevant to
the topic? Anyways, the more I think about this the more
pissed off I am. I will be voting non-Republican for the
first time in 8 years. I AM LIBERATED.
\_ Was she good in bed? Can I have her number?
\_ yeah, thats pretty much the definition of being 'whipped'.
\_ Since you didn't believe anything she said you weren't a Republican
or a conservative. No more so than any conservative man was
magically transformed into a liberal while dating a woman's studies
vegetarian (cough). |

6/5 Pathetic liberal attempt to sway borderline Republican voters:
http://www.cnn.com/2007/POLITICS/06/05/democrats.religion.ap
\_ Because everyone knows all libruls are godless atheists, duh..
\_ Informal poll: who thinks Hillary Clinton is genuinely religious
in a sense her quote meant -- someone who uses her faith in God
to overcome difficult situations. -- ilyas
to overcome difficult situations. (Yeah that's what I thought)
-- ilyas
\_ What, other than antipathy, leads you to think she doesn't?
What about the others? If you believe in a strong separation
of church and state, does that invalidate your personal faith?
Too many people, IMO, would say yes. This is a real asshole
comment.
\_ This is an amazing comment. It's true I don't much like
Hillary Clinton, but I certainly don't dislike religious
people. I find it amazing, though, that some folks can
seriously consider her earnestly religious. That's just
not in her background or 'life trajectory' if you will.
Before this turns long and boring, yes I realize that
Hillary's religiousness is not a logical impossibility, but
statistically it's pretty unlikely. -- ilyas
\_ Antipathy toward HRC and/or liberals, not toward
religious people. "Statistically"? You're gonna need
to explain yourself. What percentage of Democratic
congress members would you guess self-identify as
Christian? Or of Democrats in general?
\_ That percentage would certainly be very high since
being an admitted atheist is political suicide in
the United States. I would guess the percentage of
genuinely religious people (in the sense of Hillary's
quote) is very low (it's not even all that high
in the general population). Politicians lie to get
elected, fyi. -- ilyas
quote) is very low. Politicians lie to get
elected, fyi. Someone can lie about religiousness
and get away with it because it is extremely difficult
to falsify if you are careful. The way I would
go about falsifying this claim is to look at the
people with similar life stories as Hillary, but who
chose to pursue careers other than politics. If the
percentage of 'genuinely religious' people among
that population is low, then the professed religious
feeling is based on constraints of the job (politics)
not actual feeling on the matter (unless you feel
that pursuing secular power makes people turn to God).
Finally, I have never disliked someone based on
their politics. -- ilyas
\_ Because everyone knows that Hillary is a shameless
self-serving carpetbagger who will do/say anything to get
votes.
\_ then you stopped at the headline. edwards "lives with sin
\_ She won her last election in New York by 2 to 1. Claims
of carpetbagging get a bit dull after the people have ignored
it twice..
\_ She's not from New York. She moved there so she could
run for Senate in a race she could win. Whether her
constituents are happy with her or not, the term
"carpetbagger" seems appropriate to me. Why do you think
it isn't? --alawrenc
\_ It may have been in 2000. She represented the state
for 6 years after winning 55%. She pulled down 67%
in 2006. I think you're missing the point to call her
a carpetbagger the second time around. The whole idea
of the carpetbagger is that it's someone who doesn't
represent the people. The electorate spoke vociferously
in favor of her representing them. How many terms has
Louise Slaughter served in New York? Is she a
carpetbagger? --scotsman
\_ I see what you mean, but disagree. I think the term
captures (appropriately) that it describes someone
to whom geography is merely a matter of political
expediency. Frankly, I'm surprised we don't see more
of this from both parties (prominent politicians
moving to other states to get elected), given that
politicians tend to be very wealthy (mobile) and in
professions that aren't tied to particular areas
(not the way wealthy landowners were tied to their
home states 200 years ago, at least). --alawrenc
\_ Because it takes time to build up a local name.
In her case she New York was an easy target with
an open seat and no competition from either
party. She hasn't had to run in a real race
until now.
\_ So how many terms would she have to serve with
landslide victories before "carpetbagger" wouldn't
apply? And back to the original point, how is
saying you relied on your faith to help you
through a difficult point in marriage shameless
and self-serving? Maybe it would be if you had
spent the last few decades bouncing from spouse
to spouse.. --scotsman
\_ I don't think any number of elections would
change that she moved to New York as a matter
of political expediency. I find it odd that
you think the appellation should go away after
two (and not one). As for the rest, I think
you're confusing me with the original poster
(I just thought the claim that she's not a
carpetbagger because she got reelected was
interesting). --alawrenc
\- i hate hillary clinton and i agree she
is a carpetbagger, however in the great
chain of scum, carpetbagging is a lot
less bad than corrupt, hypociritical,
torturing evil cyborg. in fact just
\_ You don't like Arnold?
focusing on hillary, being sanctimonious
and a soulless panderer are worse faces
of her than her cappetbagger self. if you
want to criticize hillary, focusing on
"she went venue shopping for a senate
seat" is lazy and proably just mindless
labeling.
\_ then you stopped at the headline. edwards "sins
every day". does that mean he's gay?
\_ "Edwards is uncomfortable with gayness"
\_ no, it means he's human. "He that is without sin among
you, let him first cast a stone"
\_ "It's a joke, son... Laugh..." |

6/5 Was reading the nutritional info for some japanese udon noodles
I've been buying a lot of lately, and its sodium content isover
1000mg per serving! Is this right? Why do these simple noodles
have so much sodium?
\_ preservatives.. best cheap dry noodles Mi Goreng Pedas Indomei
\_ Mmmmm, salt. Does a body good! Stop eating that crap, it will
kill you. Eating a normal 'healthy' American diet would already
give you way too much salt without going for salt bombs like that.
\_ That's how I'm feeling now. are there any asian (or
asian-style) noodles out there that are low/no-salt? -op
\_ I don't know about asian noodles but simply trying to
eat right is very very hard if you're eating anything
pre-packaged. Pretty much *everything* has way too
much salt in it.
\_ Just don't use the seasoning pack. |

6/5 http://www.thesmokinggun.com/archive/years/2007/0605071libby1.html Mr. Libby takes one for the team ... too smart, and too loyal. \- this is disgusting. but on a mildly humorouss note ... "hi this is henry kissinger. i was secretary os state. scooter is ok. but let's get back to me. i am great. let me tell you some more about me." \_ There is a time when I thought blow the cover of an undercover agent is considered a threat to national security... Then again I am not a Republican. \_ Let me guess. You think Clinton got impeached for getting a BJ. \_ That didn't came into my mind when I posted it. IMHO, Libby should get executed for what he is willing to do to advance his party's political gain. And, now you mentioned, since we are willing to impeach someone for a BJ, then, may be we should impeach our current commander And, now you mentioned, since we are willing to impeach someone for a BJ, \_ I was correct. You're an idiot. then, may be we should impeach our current commander in chief for treason. AND/OR turn him over to International War Crime Tribunal for all sort of war crime he has commited. \_ He'll write a book. I think he was too dumb and too naive. He didn't have to talk to the prosecutors. He did so voluntarily and now is going to prison + $250k fine for trying to be a good samaritan, the fool. And when he does *not* get a GWB pardon I have a $1 million bet with someone on the motd I'm going to put away for my early retirement. \_ I will bet you, anonymous h0zer. Not $1M but I am happy to put real money on this. Contact me. -ausman \_ I've already got my $1M bet. If you can't play with the big boys, you can't play. \- fine, we can form a syndicate to bet again you. who are you. --psb \_ Uh huh. link:www.csua.org/u/iv2 |
