8/9 DDT: A Case Study in Scientific Fraud http://www.jpands.org/vol9no3/edwards.pdf \_ The political tone of this is obvious, so I went to see who these guys represent -- apparently private doctors. Amusing. The wages of socialism in a given professional sphere is radicalization of skilled professionals. -- ilyas \_ I think radicalization can occur for either liburalz or consurvatives. \- At a global level the DDT story is really a sad one, and not just of academic interest. It goes from that hack Rachel Carson and US Govt to the UN who starts pressuring developing countries with endemic malaria problems not to use it. What is appropriate for large scale argicultural use and "tactical" application in domiciles is wildly different. |

8/8 The way liberals welcome freedom of speech, even for those who are against freedom of speech, reminds me of this childhood story where a close knit herbivore community finally opens up its gate to everyone, only to have the community destroyed by other carnivores. \_ which leads you to conclude ...?

8/8 \_ No, not "whatever". At least you (a) sign your posts, and (b) have some sort of contributory logic to your political argumentation (i.e. links and arguments that you post have _some_ intrinsic value as you seem to have put some thought into them instead of just spewing shit, even if it's usually wrongthink--for example, I find your generalizations about "liberals" to be disappointing and below what I would expect from you.) By my definition, "cretinous thugs" are rampant on the motd and wall, alongside a lot of other stuff. -John \_ 'Wrongthink?' Generalizing about liberals? That's double plus ungood! John, do me a favor. Stop commenting on what I write. I could do without your condescending attempts to 'improve me.' As for your actual claim, I don't actually generalize about liberals as a whole except in jest. You don't seem to understand me, or my sense of humor, or something like that. Regarding \_ You're not funny. Not offensive funny (I'm not easily offended), just not funny. Amuse me and I may stop commenting on your posts. -John \_ Remember John, it is I who politely asked to be left alone and it is you who refused. Who is the cretinous thug today? -- ilyas \_ Why would I try to improve you? You're perfect. -John \- didnt we establish you didnt have a sense of humor in the psb -> polpot thread? \_ I asked you if you were serious TWICE, partha. Fuck off. -- ilyas \_ You shouldn't call someone names unless you are sure of that person's identity. In this case, someone could have masqueraded as partha, but at any rate he didn't sign his name. \- ilyas lives in a baysian world --could be anybody jblack and FR, the man has as much right to post as you or anybody else. I am not really impressed by FR, but what do I know, I don't even follow those links anymore.

Fortunately aaron is gone. The guy was the very definition of a 'cretinous thug,' with his violent fantasies, yet I heard nothing from anybody about him. -- ilyas \_ (oh good, heil cherman john guy is back, I was worried about him.) How exactly am I campaigning? I don't think I've commented on his posts except as an aside to clearly stating that censoring someone, no matter how obnoxious, is teh suck. I really fail to see the issue here. -John \_ You must have been blind then. People bitched about aaron's ranting all the time. \_ So is the revisionist historian ilyas or this guy? \_ Honestly, I don't remember anybody complaining about aaron except myself, and I remember some people defending him. Of course I don't usually read wall logs. -- ilyas \_ Search for aaron on KAIS motd. A lot of people complained about/made fun of aaron. \_ Why do you think the left soda? Lots of people were making fun of him and tom pushed him over the top on wall so he left in a huff. |

6/15 Do any sodans use CentOS? What do you think about it? We have a whole bunch of RHEL WS desktops that I am thinking of switching to CentOS (the academic price for RHEL is like $25/box, so it's not too bad). \_ It's not worth 2 cents. haha. \- it is running on some linux clusters here at the lab. i dislike linux in general but i have not special hate for centos. i dont know enough to write a general pro/con list but if you have a specific question i may be able to give you some feedback. --psb \_ I am fine with RHEL. I just wonder if CentoOS has any additional issues compared to it. |

6/13 Computerized voting ballots? http://www.paulding.net/bin/url.cgi/12947.12 dans, didnt you do a research paper on this? Too bad your not sited. -mrauser \_ I did write a paper on this (more like a treatise at its final length), but never managed to publish due to academic politics. Basically, one of the researchers I cited extensively has a fairly draconian policy on his/her website regarding the use/reference of his/her work. I inquired with the individual and initially received a very positive response, but s/he then dropped off of the face of the earth. I suspect the policy is aimed toward journalists, not academics, but since I'm not very familiar with the academic publishing world, I didn't want to ruffle any feathers. Perhaps more importantly, my paper was fairly specific to web based voting systems, with an emphasis on Berkeley's implementation at the time. I also get the sense that this was a hot issue in 2004, and thus, many more well known and reputed researchers were publishing on the topic at the time so being some random undergrad (even from Berkeley) probably didn't help much. Not publishing was unfortunate. That said, I really don't regret it. I had fun writing the paper, and received some credits I needed toward graduation. -dans |

6/13 Does anyone find Pamela Anderson-like lips attractive? Just curious. \_ In general, or in her BJ video? \_ You mean the infected-looking puffed-up lips like Angelina Jolie? They're hideous. \_ But they might feel good in a BJ. \_ On a related note, does anyone want to speculate as to whether the geeks who decided to call Digital Subscriber Lines DSL knew the other meaning of DSL? \_ Is it the phenominally obvious meaning given the context of this thread? \_ I don't get it. \_ My guess: Dick Sucking Lips \_ exactly. |
