5/2     Zacarias Moussaoui verdict in 20 minutes (it's now 1:10PM, it'll
        be out at 1:30PM). What is your prediction? Death or life in prison?
        \_ Life.  He didn't actually participate, and his role was minimal.
           Death if the jurors are stupid / weak-willed.  I wouldn't be
           surprised if they vote for death just so they won't be outed as the
           juror who voted for life for a 9/11 terrorist.
           \_ 1:40PM LIFE!!! You're good. Let's play this game again.
           juror who voted for life for a 9/11 terrorist.  I might do the same.
              \_ Thanks, but I also thought the jury wouldn't convict Scott
                 Peterson.
        \_ The guy belongs in an asylum, but of course, we don't put people with
           deeply held, illogical religious convictions in asylums.  We praise
           them as "people of faith".
           them as "people of faith" (or, if we don't agree with the beliefs,
           just call them "evil").
           \_ It's okay to have faith and spiritual beliefs.  Really.
              \_ Sure it is, as long as they don't cause you to make dangerous
                 decisions because of an illogical spiritual conviction, like
                 "I can fly" or "God wants me to lead this country to war" or
                 "I will get 40 virgins in Heaven for this"
                 \_ But those are just as valid as any other non-fact-based
                    belief. Those beliefs are ok unless they aren't... well
                    maybe they're just not ok.

3/27    Trayvon Martin case:
        http://www.csua.org/u/vw7 (http://www.dailymail.co.uk
        Is this truth, or false rumor spread by critics?
        \_ Does it make any difference?
           \_ I guess since there probably won't be solid evidence on either
              side of the story (no witness, no surveillence tape, ...), this

        Appeals court upholds Jefferson charges
        Dear "Why aren't they going after Jefferson?!?!?"-guy: they are.
        And now the man gets due process. If, like Stevens, he's convicted by
        a jury of his peers, calls for his resignation will be heartily
        supported.

10/22   Poor thing. The moral of the story here is, don't confess to anything:

        \_ ZOMG POT! Clearly a communist.
           \_ Umm, she skipped out on a check.  She deserves what she gets,
              probably more.
        \_ How would non-confessing have helped?  She was pretty clearly

5/10    In Linux, is there a safe way to resize a mounted LVM
        ext3 partition?  I know you can do it with reiserfs.
        None of my partitions are in reiserfs.  I was thinking of
        converting to reiserfs, but then I don't want to wake up
        one morning and read how Linus has decreed no convicted
        murderers can touch his git repository now.

2/14    good reiser trial blog

        \_ His defense seems to center around "my wife went to russia".  Can't
           he hire someone in Russia to find her and take some pictures of
           her at lunch or something?

12/18   Can anyone explain why so many Republicans keep claiming that tax
        cuts raise government revenue, even when they know it is not true?
        http://www.csua.org/u/ka9 (WashPo)
        \_ Because in a high-tax environment, it's true?  Tax RATES aren't the
           same as tax REVENUE.
                \- yes, "everybody" acknowledges this may have been true
