A number of people have asked me why glamkowski, pudge, etc. etc. are on my friends list.

Simple, they're good people, we just disagree on political matters. Sometimes in a knock-down drag-out make-shit-up manner(at least on my part anyway) reminiscent of Vidal v. Buckley only w/o the sexual tension.

So I have journeyed up to Boston, the city where they gave a bunch of irishmen copious amounts of liquor and a primitive GPS system then used the meandering routes they took as a roadmap.

Once this roadmap was constructed, one-way signs, forks and intersections called Person you've never heard of square were randomly inserted in according to some arcane prophecy of confusion. Once this was completed, a crack team of battle-pixies ran around stealing street signs.

Putting together a mix-tape for a friend of mine who hates hip-hop(yet likes techno), thinks all sorts of wrong things about it, and lives in alaska. Plus I'm tired of listening to the same old mewling indie shit.

Why is it that facism keeps rearing it's ugly head within the conservative camp?

I blame Reagan.

No, but seriously, what is with the rhetoric coming out of that side of the spectrum? It's not like they are more predisposed to it.

When someone says someone is anti-country they are placing the individual below the nation, and that's facism. Coulter is a facist bitch for example.

So, I've been taking part in my favorite and most freedom* thing to do. Being mean to people during a console launch.

In all seriousness though, if some of these doom and gloom rumors/posts on that defect/overheat issue are correct, MS is malowned. [Queue graphic of little timmy crying over his broken XBox 360] "Sorry Timmy! No christmas for you this year!" - Big Bad Bill

That is all.

He ruined this fucking country almost as much as the asshole that shot him.

During a state of emergency.

The big problem with doing this is that you will have shortages. The suppliers will charge what the market will bear, which will curb demand so things reach equilibrium. That's the free market.

The problem of course being that the free-market is, well, if anthropromophized, the most uncompassionate SoB ever to exist. This is what price controls attempt to address.

They haven't fixed a few things that just don't make sense. For instance, my gunship(a helocopter) will still get damaged and even destroyed by melee units. Same with other advanced units. They still generally win due to greater strength, but you could in theory mob a modern unit with the right pre-modern units and take it down. IE: pikemen against cavalry(even though the cavalry have guns, they go down like a drug-addict in a back-alley desperate for a fix).

So true.

Personally, I see absolutely no problem with the restriction of adult(and licensed) material to minors(the SCOTUS, since our dear friend Fortas left it has been in complete agreement on the rights of children, special exemptions et all). There is a growing perception that this is a problem, and currently the political fallout goes largely to the content developers.

Seriously, WTF?

This crap is the biggest reason why I hate Slackware. In a sane init system, to disable a service in a runlevel, cd to it, mv SXXdaemon sXXdaemon, boom, done. And you can quickly see that it's turned off. No need to open up a friggin file that contains ALL of the init scripts(or executes em, yay! a workaround to part of the annoyance!) to figure out what's what. One quick look. Done.

God how I hate that style of init.

It's the 4 year anniversary of September 11th, 2001 at least not that I saw yet.

So, there you have it, it's the anniversary of that event. Not much else I can say on that topic.

Salut.

I don't give a shit how piss-poor the mayor of new orleans and the governor of Louisiana are. That's the pure fucking spin. I am a resident of NEITHER, the people of those areas can hold their OWN leaders asses to the fire, and I expect they will.

I do OTOH have to live with federal response to emergency events that MAY effect me.

My last story was totally true, contrary to the opinion of SIELWOLF.

He has this condition, see. Blinder will back me up.
