11/7    Wow, check out the Democratic party imploding!  My goodness!
        \_ Agreed. The only reason Ds won is because of GWB.  This will
           be a one time victory in many years to come because there will
           not be another GWB after 2008.
           \_ 2008 belongs to the Dems.  The Dems have control of the state
              governorships now, so expect some creative gerrymandering and
              control of battleground state campaigning.
              \- i am kinda curious if any loose canon democrats are
                 going to go "beyond the pale" to "get even".
        \_ Pelosi should just slit her wrists...
        \_ I bet you can find some choice quotes in the motd archive.

11/2    California Uber Alles is such a great song
        \_ Yes, and it was written about Jerry Brown. I was thinking this
           as I cast my vote for Meg Whitman. I am independent, but I
           typically vote Democrat (e.g., I voted for Boxer). However, I
           can't believe we elected this retread.

2/18    If not 0 then 1 - wasn't that the basis of the logic of the bush
        administration on torture?  If we do it, it's legal, and since
        torture is illegal, therefore we don't torture?
        \_ Bush is a great computer scientist.

html \_ Who coined the phrase "nattering nabobs of negativism"? Is this anything like spinning a record backwards to hear Satan speak? Until such time as the stance may or may not need to change according to the blowing winds. Yes, she has been absolutely firm in her stance for at least a week. I'd prefer the next admin be one that has a world view that goes beyond the current news/polling cycle *and* does it right. There is a reason why US stance in the world is at the all-time-low and majority of people, even Europeans, think that USA is a greater threat to the security of the world than Islamic Extremelism. They can hate us as much as they want so long as they keep doing business with us the rest of their feelings don't amount to much in my book. So you might ask (and if not I'm telling you anyway) what does matter to me? The problem with Iraq is not the initial invasion, it is the poor post-invasion planning, the namby pamby Vietnam style execution of the war on the ground, and general lack of balls. No war has ever been won by winning over the general populace of the target nation. If they didn't have the balls to go in, kill everyone who needed killing, set up a puppet government and get the hell out they never should have gone in in the first place. Back to the EU opinion thing for a moment: the EU is demographically doomed. Their opinion regarding the ever growing Islamic extremist threat all around them vs. their ridiculous "we hate daddy/USA because we want to be super powers again, too!" If they don't get their act together their culture will be subsumed and cease to exist as such by the end of this century. Never before have so many people had such freedom and power on an individual level. It is the rest of the world beyond the West that is normal for human history and if our culture is not vigorously defended this time will be remembered as nothing more than that few extra years it took to crush the non-believers. Your enemies are not short term politicians you don't like. I'm glad I'm young enough that I think I'll get to see exciting sweeping changes across the world but old enough that I should be dead before it gets really bad. when the US pushes its own agenda in something like the doha trade round, or spews out pollution at a per capita rate far above everybody else, it has real con- sequences for people, just as US research into medicine and agriculture in the past had real benefits. yes, this is not "i am going to steal your land and rape your women" type of "old style" adverse consequences but nonetheless self-serving free trades regimes, self-serving ip regimes etc have real consequnces. for some people it has to do with who what share of the profits but for the very poor, they can be pushed into what jeffrey sachs calls "the poverty that kills". we think of scorpions and black widows as nasty, dangerous animals, more so than elephants, but i bet elephants are responsible for more destruction and death. if it wasn't for her 'status' she wouldn't had been elected. If this is an omen of the "Gvt Will Be Your Mommy" she wants to replace Bush's "Gvt Will Be Your Daddy", I'm not looking forward to it. she probably was involved because rock star games is in NY. i doubt any Senator out there has publicly said they are pro GTA. Can on do this on a CGI/php system instead of straight-php? thinking of doing this on ocf \_ Yeah I'm sure you could, but you'd probably have to write it yourself. net, I will be working on the HORDE thing this week and will be glad to share what I find. Dunno if they have a store close to where you will be at. Last I checked it was $10 for 1 day, though theres options for more time for less $$. I spent two years there (93-94), and am curious what it's like now. It's been colder than a witch's left tit, and I've had nil success business-wise and haven't made many friends, so I have an understandably negative view of the place. I find it has no concept, little culture, it's pretty hideous architecturally, and I find Chileans weird, distant and closed-off. That said, the view is beautiful, there are some great restaurants and when the weather's nice there are really cool places to visit in the countryside. net -John \_ Amazing that a South American country would have bad coffee. On the other hand I have been told that "we are the {Germans, English} of South America" in all seriousness. There's 0 probability of this being denied, short of her being a terrorist. So just file the paperwork yourself, it's not that complicated. I know a place that will do this a lot cheaper in Mountain View, probably $300-$400. it's not a matter of cleverness but recordkeeping and dilligence. i mean the ask thinks like "list every time you have left the country with dates" and "list ever law enforcement event including all (non-parking) tickets, with dates". so some of that's almost impossible to get 100% correct. And c'mon, you don't keep track of when you're in and out of the country? those are not the first words you want to hear from a cop. it also seriously freaks out any of the other people you are with. i also figured i could just spend $ on the govt filing fees (which I tabulate to $190 I-130 + $395 I-485 = $585), but I wasn't certain. The place I used charged me about $200-300 for filing the initial paperwork. Afterwards I did all the follow-up paperwork myself, no big deal. Makes me wonder if I should've paid the $200 in the first place, but it's only $200. don't i still need to file an I-130 to establish the spousal relationship? It did require diligence and chasing the INS at various points, but I didn't think that it required a lawyer, just good record-keeping and thoroughness. Don't ever believe anything they tell you, though, to some extent - every person we ever talked to at INS (phone or in person) would tell us something completely different. One benefit at the time was that we could still go in in person (Sacramento), so my wife had work authorization from day one under the new status. You can email me if you have specific questions - mds \_ thanks for all the advice, everybody. The $1,500 lawyer got that SoCal couple I know the PR card for the grad student / non-citizen spouse in about four months from the initial time of filing I believe. com/media/carshoot \_ That's pretty damn awesome \_ 900 rounds/min is 15 rounds/sec. Also, does such a short gun really have a range of 15 miles? Also, 800MPH is supersonic speed, and the RPG looks like 5 rounds/sec. And does such a short gun really have a range of 15 miles? Also, 800mph is supersonic speed, and the RPG looks like it's flying slower than sound. How the heck did he aim a single round in 3D space at a flying object? Perhaps a lot of practice, but that sounds like a lot of money. So the scene with the machine gun must have had pytrotechnics in the car to start with. The gun they were using was much bigger than the one Mythbusters used and was making bigger holes. The gas tank was also moving through the air, which would help atomize the gas. So it's at least plausible that the explosion was natural. The current website for XXX is, to put it mildly, decrepid. We need an organized, motivated student (previous web design experience preferential) to revamp our HTML The web site needs to allow users to sign on, put in credit card information, allow shopping carts, update and sync inventory automatically, generate work flow, print out shipment labels, optimize operation flow, and provide statistics for analysis. As the above person said, I was making $8+/hour as a mail courier 15 years ago at UC. For someone to basically build this guy's entire web site which does all of that backend shit... "Credit card information" means you better get someone who knows WTF they are doing. org/u/h9b A whopping 16% of Americans approve of the job the Republican Congress is doing. I think more than that believe that they have been abducted by space aliens... I'm certain Bush didn't do a poll before getting his new dog. Fortunately this is still a republic and not a democracy. I do want the President looking for input on whether or not to cherry-pick information and invade ...
