From another Fark discussion thread:
I am a Republican. They tell me I:
* Am against Abortion.
* Am for the war.
* Hate poor people.
* Am skeptical about global warming.
* Don't value minorities.
* Don't care.
* I'm rich or I'm stupid.
* Against gun-control.

I am a Democrat. I'm supposed to:
* Support welfare.
* Be against the war.
* Hate rich people.
* Be active to protect the environment.
* Value all minorities.
* Feel your pain.
* Be smart. Even if I'm a hippy, or a yuppy, or poor or rich. I'm enlightened.
* Be pro-choice.
* Be for civil liberties.
* Be against Bushies, Rummies, Condi, Gonzalez (One of THEM)

We don't live in a democracy. We live in a representative republic. So you don't vote on
individual issues. You vote once every 4 years for this, every 6 years for that, every 2
years for that. And all of your little mini-votes are wrapped up in these little packages
called Republican or Democrat.

And somehow we're almost divided at 50/50.

What an interesting little "democracy".

How about choice three:

I am a sane, rational person. I tell myself I am:

* Support personal freedom when it does not infringe upon the good will of others. (That
means abortions, guns and tiny American flags for all!)
* Believe the government should be closely monitored for abuses of power. (Domestic wire
taps should be closely watchdogged.)
* Respect rich, poor, minority alike, but expect everybody to pull their fair share.
* Support science and rationality over myth, faith and hype
* Support military action provided there is are valid reasons for violence, sound goals
that can be achieved (and don't change every few months) and an overwhelming expectation
of success.
* Expect my government to rule rationally with solid planning and anticipation of
reasonable contingencies.
* Expect my government to not waste my money on dumb stuff.
* Expect my government to help those truly in need with reasonable support and assistance.
* Support the sciences, medicine and technology, as they better all of humanity
* Support educating people with solid educational program that rewards results and
academic achievement - not some meaningless political feel-good nonsense.
* Believe police should be free to do their jobs, but not abuse their jobs or people's
privacy, rights or expectation of normalcy.

You see, sane people don't prescribe to "lib" or "neocon". We prefer sanity.
Unfortunately, the people currently in power (on both sides) are neither sane nor
logical. They prefer jerking people around emotionally. Like telling people they are a
traitor if they question the president.

From a Fark discussion thread:

...And we'd be greeted with flowers and candy in the streets as heroes, just like in
Iraq. Right - same crap, different day. There is no operational way for the United States
to win a war on foreign soil anymore, because we are too hamstrung by limitations placed
upon our operations by the universality of media, the oversight of "the international
community," and our own unwillingness to fully perform acts of warfare. The military is
made to kill things and break stuff, not perform politically-expedient sociological
surgery. We cannot win in Iraq, and if Iran attacks we cannot beat them in the Middle
East unless we give up the moral high-ground and determine that it is necessary to raze
cities, slaughter civilians, and otherwise do what warring armies have done for millenia
before we adopted this useless pretense of "limited war." There has never been a limited
war, and the side obeying that delusion has always come out beaten and slinking away with
its tail between its legs. Unfortunately, given that this is seen as such a pointless war
(because it essentially is one), we don't have the moral capital to spend to win it by
going balls-out and actually fighting like we intend to win.

Iran is hardly "giving it all they've got." You'll know when they're doing that by the
piles of dead Sunni bodies, the burning of cities, and the reduction of the remainder of
sectarian Iraq to an ashen waste. They don't have to physically beat us to win - they
merely have to exhaust our capacity to remain. We're already building an unprecedentedly
massive deficit with this war effort, sinking our currency's balance with those of other
nations as our economic ability to fulfill those debts grows ever more unlikely. The
public by a two-thirds margin wants us to leave already, regardless of the fact that it
will result in a prolonged and brutal theocratic genocide in the area which we are
essentially directly responsible for kicking off; they are tired of friends and family
being half a world away, fighting a battle with objectives we can't define and thus
cannot ever achieve no matter how many Americans die for them. Imagine the public's
response if (or when) Iran enters the battle; it is MacArthur's charge into China and the
fundamental loss of the Korean War once more, because the American public's morale will
be shattered when a new, fresh enemy presents itself before a tired and over-extended
military unprepared to simultaneously serve in both war-fighting and peace-keeping
capacities. The thought will be the same now as it was back then: "we never meant to
fight a war with these people - this is not an enemy we should be engaging."

> Your muslim heroes aren't going to win, junior. I'm so terribly sorry to have
> to be the one to tell you this...

Oh, you're entirely wrong if you think I consider the Muslims "heroes." I'm pissed,
because we aren't going to be allowed to win this war. The way you win a war is you go
in, you kill the leaders, you brutally crush all resistance as mercilessly as possible,
you remove the ability for the remaining populace to fight a war by removing their
ability to receive resupply, aid, or protection from anyone other than yourself, and then
you declare yourself the ruler of the area. You can then do what we did everywhere we
actually won wars, and reshape the political and social climate of the region before
handing significant control back to the local populace. But you can't win pretty wars.
People have to die, including civilians, so that they can understand that their existence
depends solely upon your decision to permit it. The locals must be conquered, their ways
changed, and their children exposed to the might and beneficence of their conquerors.
Only then will they respect your demands, which is the only way they will become more
than petty sectarian tribesmen squabbling in the desert over ancient outmoded traditions.

But we aren't allowed to fight that sort of war anymore. It isn't pretty, it costs lives
and time and there are no happy endings to please the diplomats of the international
community. So we're going to lose, and there will be a genocide followed by a dictator -
just like every third world political cycle ruled by ancient tribal hatreds and the
ambition of a few ruthless men.

If we wanted a real war, we'd draft soldiers and sear the desert clean before coming in
to place the stars and stripes on the crater that was Baghdad. We'd take millions of
lives, place American generals in charge of our new holding, and rebuild the country from
the ground up without allowing petty politicians from the area who helped create the mess
in the first place to screw it up further. Then, after thirty years or so when the main
generation always remembers how good it is to have America there, we'd hand it partially
over with the understood oversight of their older sibling half a world away. And they'd
thank us for conquering them.

But the United Nations would throw a shiatfit, and no one wants their baby drafted, and
so we'll be backing out with our "green zone" burning behind us. Whether it takes two
months or ten years, we'll be constantly throwing American blood into a half-assed
faux-occupation that will immediately collapse the second we leave. It is inevitable, and
so the only recourse is to end it sooner rather than later. We lack the ability to fight
a real war, and so we will lose. Only question is how many good men will die before we
realize that.

that Dubya is an evil genius in charge of things!

George Herbert Walker Bush,

(1971–1973) ambassador to the United Nations,
(1973–1974) Republican National Committee chairman (from an office IN the Whitehouse, demanded and accepted the resignation of

Richard Nixon),

(1976–1977) DIRECTOR of the Central Intelligence Agency,

How the world sees America?

2006-01-29T13:41:00.000-08:00

I found in traveling around the world that a great many people . . ., apparently well educated and sophisticated, were convinced that the people of the United States were in the grip of terror and that free speech and free press no longer existed here. They believed that the United States was fomenting a third world war and would presently start it, with Armageddon consequences for everyone else, and that the government of the United States smashed without mercy anyone who dared to oppose even by oral protests this headlong rush toward disaster.

These people could "prove" their opinions by quoting any number of Americans and American newspapers and magazines. That they were able to quote such American sources proved just the opposite, namely that we do continue to enjoy free speech even to express arrant nonsense and unpopular opinion, escaped them completely.

I just don't understand how this is not murder: "when plainclothes police chased him into a subway car, pinned him to the ground and shot him in the head and torso."
There is no mention of him fighting back, or disobeying a lawful order. Just another execution, by a bunch of thugs.

When I started this blog, I meant to focus on technology, hardware & software hacking, alternative energy & a little humour. But there is just some strange stuff afoot in this country, and I must draw your attention to it.
Disney IS requiring EVERY person entering their parks to have their finger tip scanned. I get a feeling in the pit of my stomach, like I just went over a steep hill in my car, really fast...

And so it begins

2005-07-03T12:00:00.000-07:00

City forces out 2 downtown businesses. Action follows high court ruling on eminent domain.

You might want to think about this: At the core of this decision is that it is OK to take land from one party & give it to another, just to increase property tax revenue. Churches pay NO property taxes. They also own some pretty desirable land...

Goodbye Sandra, thanks for writing in your dissent: "Any property may now be taken for the benefit of another private party, but the fallout from this decision will not be random," O'Connor wrote. "The beneficiaries are likely to be those citizens with disproportionate influence and power in the political process, including large corporations and development firms." and "nearly any lawful use of real private property can be said to generate some incidental benefit to the public." If the Fifth Amendment requires only that a taking provide some such benefit, she wrote, "the words 'for public use' do not realistically exclude any takings."

I am truly ashamed of them.

2005-06-24T23:29:00.000-07:00

The US Supreme Court has wiped their ass with the US Constitution!

The decision to allow the siezure of private property for the benefit of third parties is outrageous!

The implications of this decision are staggering!

The scum-bag politicians haven't even waited for the corpse of the Constitution to cool before raping the citizens!

Good ol' Boys just looking out for each others' wealth.

Please contact your local, state & federal representatives today. Even if your area is one of the few that has local bans on this, the rest of this great nation deserves the full protection of the entire Constitution & ALL its' ammendments!

I pledge Allegiance to the flag
of the Corporations of America
and to the Wealth for which it stands,

The basic html tutorial is by Ross Shannon. He explains why standards compliance & designing for accessability are good & why frames are bad. That knowing what is going on behind the wysiwyg design process makes you a far superior designer. Check him out.

The best text editor out there is editpad. It uses a tabbed interface, opening multiple docs at once. It has several global commands, such as search & replace. Which allows you to replace a text string in all open docs with just a few clicks. Makes changing or updating all the pages on a site simultaneouly a breeze. The pro version adds autoformated display for various programming languages & color coding of tags.

Voip.... NOT!

2005-05-30T17:49:00.000-07:00

I haven't posted in awhile, I've been busy trying to signup for voip. It hasn't worked out too well. I Bought a 1402s/l voip router from dlinkshop. It was $50, it came with a $50 rebate(only if Lingo acct activated), found a $5 off loyalty code, shipping was $8 - net cost $3! I Found out that Lingo offers first month free if you bring your own device. And, with a referal, a $25 credit after the 3rd month. So, first 4 months & device = $0(1st)+$20(2nd)+$20(3rd)-$25(4th cr.)+$3(device)=$18!!

Unfortunately, after 15 calls to customer service, 100 trys on the web registration & getting the royal run-around, these clowns can't figgure out how to accept my credit card ( a run of the mill US visa card), nor tell me why they can't process it. AAAIIIIIEEEE!

So, I figure the Dlink box is just a repackaged 1402s, I'll just hook up with a different provider. I go to their web site & sign up - NO PROBLEM accepting my CC!!

So then I plug in the Dlink box.......................................Dead as a doornail!! AAAIIIIIEEEE!

So, Dlink is refunding the cost of the box, plus shipping both ways, Kudos to you Dlink!
The newly signed up provider agreed to reverse the charges...

So, I'm looking at SunRocket, as soon as the credit & reimbursements come in, I'll probably sign up with them...

My #1 FireFox tip

2005-05-21T09:44:00.000-07:00

Go to Tools > options, then click on the Privacy Icon, then select "Download Manager History" and set it to "upon succesful download." If you leave it to the default "Manually," it tracks every file you download - FOREVER. I download & try out ALOT of stuff. After I initially installed FireFox, after about a month, it got really slooooow. Cleaned out (it crashed a few times trying to load it) the HUGE database of downloaded files & it's much, much faster!

Well, I finally got a Blog.

2005-05-21T07:10:00.000-07:00

Here are the FireFox Extensions I like/use:

Remeber you need to get the ones for your version (probably listed as:( 0.8+ - 1.0) or (>1.0) or somesuch)
If you've got install turned off, it'll pop a little bar at the top of the window, you can click the edit button, allow the site & re-click the install link....
Or right click & save as & install later, that way you have backups!

EASE OF USE:
TabBrowserExtensions - NOTE: FF developers do not recommend! all functions can be reproduced by other extensions... Still, it's my favorite, I've not really run into any of the reported bugs, and it is only one thing to hunt down & install:

Tabmix - TabBrowserExtensions too scary? try this one for most of the feature set. I have not tried, as I use TabBrowserExtensions:

Jumplink - strips surrounding code from redirect/captured links:

Checkboxer - allows mass manipulation of check boxes:

Menueditor - allows editing which items show up in the context menu:

Ext2abc - alphabetizes the extension list window:

AllowRightClick - disables java sites ability to disable your right clicks:

Stop/reload - combine those 2 button into one:

Bugmenot - registration filler:

Textlinks - turns plaintext urls into links!!! (no copy/paste, just click):

Paste&go - adds right click option for address bar to "paste&go" (saves having to press enter):

Scrapbook - Save Web page, Save snippet of Web page, Save linked Web page, Organize the collection in the same way as Bookmarks tree, Full text search and quick filtering search of the collection, Simple Editing of the collected Web pages:

Tripleselect - enable windows triple click paragraph select:

SECURITY:
Foxtrail - removes current page from history:

Permit cookies - allows cookies for the current site & session, when cookies are disabled:

Cookieculler - keep cookies you want while deleting the rest:

Spoofstick - shows the real domain of spoofed sites:

BOOKMARKS:
Flat bookmarks - edit bookmarks directly in BM manager instead of going to links properties:

Bookmarkshome - sets your bookmarks as your home page (I think it's neat, but even a local file slows new tabs/windows loading):

OpenBook - expands tree in add bookmarks dialog:

Bookmark links checker - check validity of bookmarks:

GMAIL:
Gmail notifier - checks gmail for new mail & one click login:

Gmail compose - opens mailto links in gmail!!
updated: GMail/Yahoo/Hotmail/Netscape/OperaMail/Mail.com/Horde/Squirrel
now called WebMailCompose

ENTERTAINING:
Forecast fox - weather.com for selected area displays in toolbar/statusbar:

Foxytunes - controls for your mp3 player that run in the firefox status bar:

Mapit - shows [your favorite map site] lookup of highlighted address:

Smileyextra - for using lots of smileys in forum posts...

GRAPHICS:
Imglikeopera - allows control of image loading - none/cached/all:

Image tool bar - the IE style buttons that show up on mouse over of images:

Imagezoomer - zooms images:

Measureit! - onscreen ruler:

DOWNLOADS:
Downloadthemall - advanced content downloader:

Disabletargets - keeps blank page from opening for d/l from sites:

ADVANCED\HACKING\PROGRAMMING:
Gcache - shows google cache of page, allows rightclick surf to cache on links:

Live http - displays http headers:

Refspoof - allows sending a different referer to websites(rtclk menubar to hide/unhide):

Mass install - reinstall helper - make text file(now!) w/ links (can be local{cd/usb?}to all ff extensions, save, when time to reinstall, install FF, then massinstall, restart FF, installs all listed extensions & restarts FF! hmmm you can select all the extensions stored locally & drag & drop onto the extensions window for same effect... still good for offsite backup, in case of catastrophic failure:

Switchproxy - change between proxies on the fly:

Tabsource - view source in a tab, instead of the view source window:

Showanchor - show anchor tags:

Conkeror - I don't actually use this one, but it's interesting, check the screen shot:

that's all for now...
