9/8 I summon: emarkp ! remember the heroic border patrol agents who shot the drug dealer in the butt as her was running away? You can read facts about the case here: http://www.texasmonthly.com/2007-09-01/feature2-1.php http://xrl.us/5qum \_ My predicted response from emarkp: "I don't respond to anonymous cowards." \_ I think that is tom's mo, not emarkp \_ I may be anonymous, but I would be interested in hearing a self described conservative's opinion on the whole case. Notice I'm not asking him his opinion on Mormon bathed in blood axe murders or if he got a good deal on golden plates at the last Wal-Mart sale. Not trolling, just asking! \_ Based on historical records, there is a 92% chance that he'll respond with "Hi anonymous troll! -emarkp" \_ Why should he respond to someone calling him out? He has no responsibility. If you really want to chat seriously with him, send him email. \_ Typically I don't like responding to anonymous people calling me out by name. However, I've been fairly strongly opinionated on this topic so my response is below. -emarkp \_ my opinion: they missed and should have been aiming about 18" higher. -not emarkp anonymous coward \_ I'll take a look at it, but I've already read a substantial portion of the trial transcripts. -emarkp \_ Okay, I've read the first paragraph and it's full of crap. Ramos said in his own testimony that he reported the shooting over the radio. Yet the article says, "Neither agent announced the shooting over the radio or informed his supervisor of what had happened; the official report about the pursuit made no mention of their firing their weapons." Oops. Bad reporting. -emarkp \_ More bad reporting: "The bullet was removed by Army doctors at Fort Bliss, and ballistics tests showed that it had been fired from Ramos.s handgun, which investigators had taken under the guise of performing a firearms audit. That night, federal agents arrested Ramos and Compean at their homes on assault charges." The bullet was fragmented. They couldn't match the agent's gun. -emarkp \_ http://www.csua.org/u/jh4 "In truth, defense attorneys ---- and Ramos himself ---- signed a document agreeing that the bullet came from Ramos' gun." Is that true? \_ He should have used a shotgun. \_ I'm not aware of that one. However this *does* contradict the claim by the other article that the bullet was matched. -emarkp |

9/8 Bitter Sexless Guy here. I was out last night with the internet illuminati, and he said he bought an iphone when it first came out for $600, and then amex price protection is giving him $200 because of the recent price drop, and Apple is giving him $100 in credit, so now he's pretty happy with his $300 iphone. \_ Have you looked into SSRI? I'm on my 300th day without sex and still feel alright! \_ The problem for me is the cost of the service and not the cost of the phone. |

9/8 John Edwards calls upon world to join us in fight against terrorism saying you're either with us or against us: http://apnews.myway.com/article/20070907/D8RGM0R00.html \_ Can't wait to vote for Obama in the Primaries. \_ Imagine the gall of the guy, actually trying to engage our allies. Wouldn't we have better luck if we called them Cheese Eating Surrender Monkeys and renamed fried potatoes Freedom Fries? \_ You didn't RTA. He is doing no such thing. Read his quotes, not the "journalist's" description of it. You join us and follow our rules or you're with the terrorists. Your second sentence is just noise. Not even Bush has called anyone that. \_ Once again, your reading skills are subpar: "Those nations who refuse to join will be called out before the world." Explain to me how you get "you're with the terrorists" from this. At worst, I see a vagueness in what will happen to nations that refuse to join. -!pp \_ On 11 March 2003, Representatives Robert W. Ney (R-Ohio) and Walter B. Jones, Jr. (R-North Carolina) declared that all references to French fries and French toast on the menus of the restaurants and snack bars run by the House of Representatives would be removed. House cafeterias were ordered to rename French fries as "freedom fries". |

9/8 What are some of the most useful but uncommon vi commands you didn't know about for a while till recently? I'll start: "cw" (change word) instead of "x x ... x x i" \_ You can combine nearly all action commands with motion commands. So "dw" is delete word, etc. Check out "inner word" (diw), p for paragraph. Or if you're using Vim, just do ":help motion" \_ mine is this: :q! <cr> followed by: emacs $filename |
