9/12 I need to receive a fax. I don't have a fax machine. What are
some decent PC fax software for Windows? It's been too long since I
used one. Thanks.
\_ Doesn't efax still have a free service?
\_ Apparently:
http://home.efax.com/s/r/efax-cj2?VID=36258&TYPE=300087
\_ Doesn't windows (xp) come with one?
\_ kinko's for a single fax. It probably isn't worth the effort to
mess around with pc-faxing for your offer letter.
\_ If you still have a modem, most later modems are actually fax
modems.
\_ "Just the Fax" seems to be the right ticket. I am going to
try it tonight. Thanks everyone. -op
\_ just curious, was this a job offer? |

9/12 High School students not allowed to wear US Flag
\_ On 9/11
\_ The day that changed everything!
http://img406.imageshack.us/my.php?image=736551408894700123226loxq4.jpg

\_ More imporantly, stupid school bans wearing flags, has
to deal with the consequences of such an assinine rule.
\_ The US flag isn't a foreign flag.
\_ It's a stupid fucking rule. Start banning things just because
they are foreign and you are asking for a much deserved
lawsuit.
\_ I'm pretty sure schools can ban pretty much whatever they
like Anyway, it is a stupid rule, I agree. But the leap
from that rule to baninng the US flag is
mind-boggling. -op (!pp)
\_ No they can't. There are free speach limits even at a
school. And let's take a hypothetical. Hispanic
students start wearing Mexican flags, people get upset
some kids get into fights. The school bans Mexican flags.
(And it doesn't get smacked down.) Now some of the
love it leave it assholes who were also part fighting
start wearing American flags as a fuck you this is America
display (not hard to imagine now is it?) Why is one
acceptable and the other not?
\_ Umm.. because this actually IS ths US?
\_ So why are they banning flags then? Because
"This is America damnit (tm)" or because flags
were causing a significant disruption?
\_ What is wrong with "This is America damnit (tm)"
anyway? Is this *not* America?
\_ Besides the xenophobic viewpoint it's not
appropriate for schools to degenerate into
violence. Why were flags banned in the first
place? Until you get answer that, this is just
squwaking.
\_ Flag Code aside (because that isn't why they
were banned): Banning flags is not the real
issue. The issue is violence. Banning flags
doesn't make the hatred that causes the
violence to go away. Now that I've answered
that, tell me what is so wrong about loving
your country and putting your own nation
above others.
\_ Why not look it up yourself, squwaker? You're
the one asking. Why is it my job to answer
your questions?
\_ Because I'm not the one in hysteronics
about the evil anti-american flag cabal?
\_ Wearing the US flag is a violation of the Flag Code: http://www.legion.org/?section=our_flag&subsection=flag_code&content=flag_respect -tom
\_ So is lowering the US flag to half-mast when some local hero
(e.g. firefighter in your community) dies while in line of duty.
But people do it arbitrarily anyway.
\_ You are incorrect. Half-staff may be ordered by the
president, but that does not preclude respectful displays
by other local authorities at other times.
(Oops. I'm wrong. The order to half-staff can only come
from the President or a Governor. Never mind.)
\_ Yes, it's just funny to see rah rah U-S-A types defending
violations of the Flag Code. -tom |

9/12 Obama: strong backer of Israel.
http://blog.washingtonpost.com/the-trail/2007/09/11/post_69.html
\- BTW, Mearshimer and Walt are two quite well regarded
people in the International Relations fields. They are
"standard" in the grad IR curriculum. It would be
like say Susan Graham and Jeffrey Ullman weighing in on
compliers ... ok neither are Donald Knuth, and regular
people dont know who they are, but they are top in the
field. Walt did his PhD at Berkeley under Kenneth Waltz
[who would be like Knuth, or John McCarthy in the earlier
analogy]. Anyway, just pointing out these arent two randoms
or fringe fruitcakes ... like that dood Dershowitz went
after.
\_ I thought blanks and jews hate each other.
\_ Who told you that, Rush Limbaugh?
\_ Probably not that big a deal in recent years but the further
you go back, you more true it is. I'm sorry if you're unaware
of your own nation's history to such a degree you think only
Rush Limbaugh might know the ugly truth. --sad for you
\_ You mean during the Civil Rights movement when Blacks
and Jews worked hand in hand, literally, to help stop
segregation? Or do you mean further back? What
specifically are you talking about?
"From the beginning of the Civil Rights Movement,
Blacks and Jews marched arm-in-arm. In 1909, W.E.B.
Dubois, Julius Rosenthal, Lillian Wald, Rabbi Emil G.
Hirsch, Stephen Wise and Henry Malkewitz formed the
National Association for the Advancement of Colored
People (NAACP). One year later other prominent Jewish and
Black leaders created the Urban League. Julius Rosenwald
and Booker T. Washington worked together in 1912 to
improve the educational system for Blacks in the South."
http://www.csua.org/u/ji7
\_ No, I mean pre-Civil Rights when jews from Europe
were coming to the US to avoid being slaughtered in
European pogroms. The fact that there are a few well
known people who worked together at the time does not
change the fact that the average black and the average
jew hated each other. They were competing for jobs,
housing, etc. Today you won't find many jews and
blacks living in the same areas so distance makes the
heart grow fonder. Each has other concerns in the
modern era so the typical jew/black-on-the-street has
no special animosity towards the other. If you're
either black or jewish, ask your grandparents how they
feel about the other.
\_ You are misinformed about pre-Civil Rights history,
both in terms of race relations and overlap of
employment seeking. Read books like Low Life by
Luc Sante for more perspective.
\_ Most likely this perception of animosity between Jews
and blacks stems from anti-semitic rhetoric from Elijah
Muhammed and Louis Farrakhan, not to mention choice
mis-steps from the good Reverend, quoted below.
mis-steps from the good Reverend, quoted below. -!pp
\_ And don't forget about Professor Griff.
\_ Still waiting for a reply that shows knowledge about
my "nation's history." I assume I will never get it,
nor the mea culpa I deserve.
\_ Are you the same moron who thought GWB was
the principal person behind the PATRIOT Act?
Look at the post 3 posts up or the one below.
Or try STFW your damn self.
\_ Just like I thought, you haven't the foggiest
clue what you are talking about. Even funnier,
you think "Professor Griff" is history. Read
a history book some time, before you make
a fool of yourself again.
a fool of yourself again. Hint: the civil
rights movement started quite a bit *before*
Elijah Muhammed, contradicting your "further
back" claim. Furthermore, the overwhelming
majority of Blacks are Christian, not Muslim.
\_ The Elijah Muhammed comment was from a
different poster, not the one telling you
to STFW. -!pp
\_ Jesse Jackson = Christian. It doesn't
matter either way. The point is that in the
recent past, relatively high-profile blacks
have made some very anti-Jewish statements
and even though Prof. Griff may not be a
historical figure in your opinion, what is
significant is the lack of backlash these
high profile blacks received within the
black community. Jesse Jackson was more
than one remark and yet he is still the de
facto Emperor of Black People. STFW.
Seriously. I'm not doing anymore of your
fucking homework.
\_ No, your point was that blacks and jews
hate each other. This is an over-
generalization. -!pp
\_ I didn't make the statement that
blacks and jews hate each other.
blacks and jews hate each other. I'm
just pointing out that it's not that
far-fetched to believe this is the
case and that you didn't need Rush
Limbaugh to reach the conclusion.
-pp, but not pppppp
\_ Yep, thanks. Also, the idea that
blacks "hate" Jews more than they
"hate" other whites, is quite
frankly, laughable. -pp
\_ Fine. Live in ignorance. I can't
make you STFW and I really don't
care if you feel like you won
some sort of stupid Internet
debate.
\_ Are you taking your ball and
going home, too?
\_ Jesse Jackson. Hymietown.
\_ Because of course, Jesse Jackson speaks for all blacks
in America. And one remark is proof of "hate."
\_ Could it be because Jews dominated the slave trade?
\_ He told my dad he speaks for all black people...
\_ Does he plan on bombing them?
\_ "Brzezinski praised Obama for offering a "new face, a new sense of
direction, a new definition of America's role in the world,"
giving the junior senator from Illinois a strong boost of
credibility in the foreign policy department."
Yikes! An endorsement from the author of the "fund the Mujahadeen in
Afghanistan" policy is mixed blessing! |

\_ "Unlike a nuclear weapon, the bomb doesn't hurt the environment,
he added." Hahaha!
\_ Well, obviously he means no residual radiation. The stripping
the earth bare is part of the intent of the explosion.
\_ The environment really isn't hurt by conventional explosives.
You make a big hole, scatter some metal bits, kill a few
trees. It'll all regrow over soon enough.
\_ Efficiency and progress are ours once more, now that we have the
Neutron Bomb.
\_ They also built the only 100 megaton nuke ever made. Didn't
help them any.

9/12 NY Times gives http://Moveon.org a discount http://csua.org/u/ji5 (newsbusters.org) \_ This is completely standard for media advertising. No one pays the posted rates. -works in media \_ Other groups have since come out to say that they were charged the full rate or more for the same size ads. Whoopsie! \_ How dare you! It's obviously AN EVIL LIB'RUL PLOT! \_ Really? I had no idea. What's the point of the posted rate then? -op \_ You must be new to this concept of bargaining. \_ Not really, but a 60% discount is quite the bargain. \_ So without any idea of what is common practice, you're jumping on a Drudge-style bandwagon? \_ What are people complaining about it? it gave the senators tons of mileage to complain about the stupid ad for 10 minutes per questinoingoning round instead of asking the general "do you reall honestly think we are leaving iraq in the next 10 years? \- i dont think the question is "are we leaving iraq in 10 yrs" but "how many iraqis are the walking dead" ...

9/12 My mother-in-law bought an iPhone. I have a CD she would like to
load onto her iPhone. I ripped the CD into MP3s and imported them
into iTunes. How can she listen to the CD on her iPhone w/o
blowing away the music she already had on there (from home) which
is what iTunes wants to do. I don't have access to her home
computer, which is the one the phone is registered with. How can I
do this? Why does Apple make these trivial things (copying a file
from one device to another) so effing difficult? It's not a DRM
issue. I own the CD!
\_ I copy files from one Apple device to another all the time.
What's so effing difficult? By the way, if you didn't do the
obvious thiing of just giving your inlaw the files on a USB
stick, CD, or even the iPhone itself, your effing answer is:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=61675
\_ This article talks about iPod. iPhone is not an iPod and
behaves differently. Do you have experience with iPhone?
AFAIK, you can only sync music to an iPhone from a single
computer. There is some 3rd party s/w which claims to do
this as a kludge by creating a new Library, but 1) That's
not the same thing and 2) That costs money. Your "obvious"
answer requires access to her home computer, which we don't
have right now. I am guessing you think you know more than

9/12 I just found out a horrific crime occured this weekend on a
shady street corner where I usually walk to/from home. I'm
pretty shocked and at the same time not too surprised.
I'm thinking about buying a taser for personal safety. What
are the legal requirements for getting a taser? Age, safety
class, waiting period, citizenship, background check, etc?
Thanks for any help. I spent two hours crying! -concerned
\_ Take Karate lessons. It's a lot safer, plus you'll look good.
\_ Format Windows, install Linux, and work from home. And ride bike.
\_ super buff guy riding bike gets mugged by two huge guys
knocking him out and taking his bike.. karate? ..
concealed weapons carry a gun
\_ Now you see why so many of us drive cars instead of taking
public transit or walking. With a car you are not immune from
crime, but it sure beats walking on the street alone at night.
\_ troll++ well done.
\_ Bahahahaha this is funny. How about a Hummer? You can run
over gun wielding assholes and still be safe. Also you can't
possibly find parking in downtown or Berkeley without having
to walk through shady spots.
\_ Even a Geo Metro can run over gun-wielding assholes and still
be safe.
\_ You must have missed the episode of Mythbusters testing
guns vs. cars. Guns win.
\_ But...but...the movie always shows cars explode if you
shoot the hood, and flip if you shoot the tires!
\_ But if you shoot the driver he slumps over and the
horn stays on for a long time.
\_ I am sure your chance of becoming a lardass and dying of
heart disease from avoiding walking is much higher than your
chance of dying in a mugging. But go ahead and live in fear,
it doesn't bother me one bit.
\_ Because if you drive you're not allowed to exercise. You are
only allowed to exercise by walking in dangerous areas. Got
it, thanks.
\_ Sure, you can counteract the effects if you actually have
the time and discipline to do so, but how many have that?
Are you familiar with the studies correlating miles
driven with heart disease and obesity?
