[2001-03-28 22:39:00] - it was my fault.  i saw kristin sitting next to a guy, and i assumed it was you since she said she was going with a girl if she didn't go with you, so i told him that that guy probably was logan.  :\  i feel really bad now.  -  aba

[2001-03-28 16:58:00] - Japanese rules! The teachers are cool and the classes are easy -paul

[2001-03-28 16:56:00] - http://www.geocities.com/vihaopham - vihao

[2001-03-28 16:56:00] - i'd rather take chinese, but my mouth is not made to speak a language *that* tonal :) -jdb

[2001-03-28 16:46:00] - I got one that I want to ask but I think he will have a cop-out answer for them -paul

[2001-03-28 16:44:00] - well i have one question right now. - mig

[2001-03-28 16:43:00] - also, did you see that josh is taking elementary japanese? you rule, josh! - vinnie

[2001-03-28 16:42:00] - so that means you've got lots of good questions, right, Paul? - vinnie

[2001-03-28 16:30:00] - And so I need to attack communism to attack that belief structure -paul

[2001-03-28 16:29:00] - Nader may not be a communist, but his entire belief structure is based around the belief that government should control the economy -paul

[2001-03-28 16:25:00] - oh my god.  nader is for social security!?  I've definitely got a question for him now. - mig

[2001-03-28 16:23:00] - nader isn't a communist.

[2001-03-28 16:22:00] - Basically I need to argue with him that communism as a form of government doesn't work, and I can't do that with a single question -paul

[2001-03-28 16:22:00] - post on slashdot - mig

[2001-03-28 16:22:00] - "How about opt-in TCP? See, we'll set up an advisory board, and whenever you need to transmit a packet, you just send them a copy of the packet and wait for them to approve it. Only criminals would object that. You're not a criminal, are you?" hehe

[2001-03-28 16:18:00] - I do indeed, but most of them can be dismissed by stating some random facts or throwing out some catch-phrase like "living wage" -paul

[2001-03-28 16:17:00] - I'm sure you will be able to think of something Miguel, it's Nader after all :-) -paul

[2001-03-28 16:17:00] - paul: if you are so critical of nader, then you must have some questions... right?

[2001-03-28 16:16:00] - i might if i think of something interesting between now and then. - mig

[2001-03-28 16:14:00] - I don't see anyone else saying they will ask questions -paul

[2001-03-28 16:12:00] - paul: wuss!

[2001-03-28 16:10:00] - I refuse to ask questions unless someone else I know does first -paul

[2001-03-28 16:10:00] - http://news.bbc.co.uk/hi/english/business/newsid_1246000/1246924.stm - the riaa are screaming and pouting again.  now they want napster to store mp3s on their servers. - mig

[2001-03-28 16:04:00] - hi vihao!!!    ~a

[2001-03-28 15:59:00] - http://www.msnbc.com/news/550565.asp  ... and our fair use rights get thrown right out the window... - mig

[2001-03-28 14:52:00] - http://www.geocities.com/vihaopham

[2001-03-28 14:44:00] - The phenomenon that is Pokemon has been banned by Saudi Arabia's Higher Committee for Scientific Research and Islamic Law, on the grounds that it possesses the mind of children. - aaron

[2001-03-28 14:38:00] - http://www.gameplay.com/news/temp_029.htm - aaron

[2001-03-28 14:15:00] - i think adrian would make autosignatures using ip addresses, except that would mean that you wouldn't be able to post from someone else's computer and get credit for posting.  -  aba

[2001-03-28 14:13:00] - oh, it has nothing to do with whether it should be burned or not, paul, but it has everything to do with this whole seperation of church and state in schools.  -  aba

[2001-03-28 14:09:00] - i'm not saying that no one has the right to burn books.  i'm just saying it's a very immature act to burn something just because you don't like it. - mig

[2001-03-28 14:02:00] - The only time I'd be opposed to the burning of a book is if it were a rare representation of some idea (that is, if burning it would threaten the death of some idea). -logan

[2001-03-28 13:48:00] - Does it really matter if a book is fiction or non-fiction with regards to burning it? -paul

[2001-03-28 13:42:00] - i say the bible is a work of fiction.  at least partially. - mig

[2001-03-28 13:18:00] - arg, i keep forgetting to sign! -kris

[2001-03-28 13:18:00] - silly teacher.  i don't consider myself to have a working knowledge of both new and old testaments and i've read the bible through twice

[2001-03-28 13:16:00] - i took a class last year where we studied the bible objectively, which was fine with me, except the teacher expected everyone to have a working knowledge of both the old and new testaments while only assigning a critical analysis for us to read. -aba

[2001-03-28 13:14:00] - when was that? -kris

[2001-03-28 13:12:00] - Hey, did anyone else see those crazy Christians in front of Dietrick with their "Need Prayer? We Care." slogan? -paul

[2001-03-28 12:50:00] - yeah, i remember in hs we studied some story from the bible....  objectively, we were studying the story, not the religous part -kris

[2001-03-28 12:38:00] - they think that harry potter is subversive; i think that the bible is subversive.  also, it is fun to set fires. :D - katie

[2001-03-28 12:35:00] - the problem is that harry potter is a work of fiction while the bible is supposedly not.  there's no problem with having religious texts in schools as long as you study them objectively.  -  aba

[2001-03-28 12:09:00] - Why would it be heinous?  There are plenty of bibles to spare. -logan

[2001-03-28 12:07:00] - but if it did happen you could be sure there would be massive outrage in the christian community.  they usually think freedom of speech only applies to them. - mig

[2001-03-28 11:57:00] - of course it's a very heinous thing to do, and i don't believe to stoop to such a low level just to protest. - mig

[2001-03-28 11:56:00] - hmmm.... an interesting idea.  fight fire with fire..... literally. - mig

[2001-03-28 11:54:00] - of course these are the same people who still believe marilyn manson caused columbine, so i should expect as much. - mig

[2001-03-28 11:53:00] - I wonder what would happen if a bunch of people held a bible buring session, I would be interested to see the publicity that generated -paul

[2001-03-28 11:52:00] - pearl jam?  satanic? - mig

[2001-03-28 11:00:00] - http://www.collegiatetimes.com/ctonline/article.php3?373003 -logan

[2001-03-28 10:52:00] - http://www.chre.vt.edu/HTM/CJL/caribbean.html -logan

[2001-03-28 10:47:00] - now i'm cool like logan http://www.acm.vt.edu/~jbaugher/schedule/fall2001.php -jdb

[2001-03-28 10:34:00] - There are better ways to protest, but these people aren't exactly the brightest skittles in the bag to begin with. -- Xpovos

[2001-03-28 10:33:00] - Are being propogated on their children, against their will, while their own religion is shunned -- Xpovos

[2001-03-28 10:33:00] - As stupid and prejudiced as it can be I see there point, they're upset because the sepesration of chuch and state is being applied unequally.  Pagan themes, like magic, and entire religions like secular humanism... -- Xpovos

[2001-03-28 10:14:00] - heh.  i doubt you would have joined a church like that in the first place.  i am sure there are tons of other ways they are stupid and prejudiced.  -  aba

[2001-03-28 10:01:00] - so the whole world now knows just how stupid and prejudiced they are.  if i was a member of that church, i'd find a new one fast.  -kris

[2001-03-28 09:51:00] - exactly.  plus this way they get tons of free publicity.  :)  -  aba

[2001-03-28 09:50:00] - can't they just not read the books?  silly people.  they should give them to charity.  ;)  of course, i guess to them, that would be encouraging people to sin or something

[2001-03-28 09:48:00] - i guess it's supposed to symbolize that they once believed in those satanic books but they have now renounced them in favor of the church and god.  i dunno.  crazy religious kooks.  ;)  -  aba

[2001-03-28 09:46:00] - i seriously can't understand why someone would burn a book that they *bought*    -kris

[2001-03-28 09:44:00] - burning books is badbadbad.  >:o  -  aba

[2001-03-28 09:36:00] - http://dailynews.yahoo.com/h/nm/20010328/od/burning_dc_1.html  <-- boooooooo  -  aba

[2001-03-28 09:32:00] - hahaha  "as a world-changing force, i'd have to put the olsen twins somewhere below wishing really, really hard and above e-mail petitions."  ~a

[2001-03-28 09:06:00] - http://www.brunching.com/categories/satanon.html    advice from satan.  -  aba

[2001-03-28 09:03:00] - http://www.brunching.com/features/marykateandashley.html  bleh.  and you didn't think it could get any worse . . .    -  aba

[2001-03-28 08:14:00] - http://www.kabalarians.com/female/aparna.htm    haha.  is this really accurate for me??  -  aba

[2001-03-28 02:41:00] - "what i am knowledgable about, mr. gasso, is about the fact that i am a total retard and have no idea what i am talking about."  ~a

[2001-03-28 02:40:00] - "admittedly, i'm not altogether knowledgable about computers and quite frankly, i have no interest in becoming knowledgable about the same."  ~a

[2001-03-28 02:05:00] - http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A2412-2001Mar27.html -paul

[2001-03-28 00:21:00] - logan: email me your php calendar code :-) i want to use it on my site too :-P -jdb

[2001-03-27 23:56:00] - http://oop.booba.org/~logan/class/2001/fall/schedule.php -logan

[2001-03-27 23:16:00] - http://www.cnn.com/2001/HEALTH/03/27/cloning.reality/index.html -jdb

[2001-03-27 22:59:00] - Or at least get an answer somewhere wrong. - nemo

[2001-03-27 22:50:00] - Just so you know a high school student will fail chemistry because of you. - nemo

[2001-03-27 22:46:00] - Sorry, a peroxide is just the 02 ^-2. The h-o-o-h makes it hydrogen peroxide... which I did know... I just took a stab in the dark.  -- Xpovos

[2001-03-27 22:44:00] - Excuses excuses.  :) - nemo

[2001-03-27 22:40:00] - Yeah, well I've been away from Chem for awhile. -- Xpovos

[2001-03-27 22:39:00] - Shesh and you are a chem major... - nemo

[2001-03-27 22:38:00] - HO2 I believe. -- Xpovos

[2001-03-27 22:38:00] - Yes but cut and paste doesn't save everything and you don't always know what you are going to need. - nemo

[2001-03-27 22:38:00] - Quick question... Andrew, formula for peroxide? - nemo

[2001-03-27 22:37:00] - I have all those benefits with selective saving and judicial use of cut and paste -- Xpovos

[2001-03-27 22:36:00] - government is fine as long as they stay out of every single aspect of my life.- mig

[2001-03-27 22:35:00] - Easy retrival of information, the ability to review conversations at a later date...  - nemo

[2001-03-27 22:34:00] - benefits:  looking up web links or other useful information from past conversations, posting humurous conversations.... - mig

[2001-03-27 22:34:00] - I don't like governments. :)  -- Xpovos

[2001-03-27 22:34:00] - It isn't that huge and I wish it was smaller.  I don't like big central governments. - nemo

[2001-03-27 22:34:00] - well, i still think the government is too big for it's own good. -mig

[2001-03-27 22:34:00] - What benefits? -- Xpovos

[2001-03-27 22:34:00] - wow... I even think I spelt exasperated right. - nemo

[2001-03-27 22:33:00] - There is no giant government conspiracy, there is only a giant government. -- Xpovos

[2001-03-27 22:33:00] - *exasperated sigh* - nemo

[2001-03-27 22:33:00] - but then again, i think the benefits of logging outweigh the possible negative side effects. - mig

[2001-03-27 22:32:00] - Sure Satan. - nemo

[2001-03-27 22:32:00] - Nah, nick, they wouldn't -fake- my death. -- Xpovos

[2001-03-27 22:32:00] - Exactly, mig is right, people who believe in this giant government conspiracy really are self defeating.  If the government was that good why would they be around? - nemo

[2001-03-27 22:32:00] - bleh.  this discussion is getting stupid and pointless.  time for me to write my english paper instead.  if anyone wants to get my attention im me.  bye.  -  aba

[2001-03-27 22:32:00] - I'm not going to make it easy for them by keeping everything in the same place, though.  -- xpovos

[2001-03-27 22:31:00] - Well, I don't speak no dead language so to me, you're still little Nemo, the dream master -paul

[2001-03-27 22:31:00] - Damn it... I hate when I typo and it makes a new word.  Oh well - nemo

[2001-03-27 22:31:00] - and if someone wants to wily-nily through you're computer, they can. - mig

[2001-03-27 22:31:00] - Yeah Andrew cause the government is going to take you and fake your death because your thoughts are so dangerous and revelutionary. - nemo

[2001-03-27 22:30:00] - I'm almost offended. Nemo Latin for No one that is where I take it from - nemo

[2001-03-27 22:30:00] - Er.. me -- Xpovos

[2001-03-27 22:30:00] - The worst thing on my computer would be my political rants, which are online anyway, but that doesn't mean I want people waltzing willy-nilly through my files.

[2001-03-27 22:30:00] - Dream master?  Oh that was a low blow... - nemo

[2001-03-27 22:29:00] - Or the entire collection of Eva on 3 CD's... Oh wait....  *grins* - nemo

[2001-03-27 22:29:00] - Just bring it, dream master -paul

[2001-03-27 22:29:00] - not quite yet. - mig

[2001-03-27 22:29:00] - Oh no!  I passed paul again.  ;) - nemo

[2001-03-27 22:28:00] - The gigabytes of porn is what is gonna get you -paul

[2001-03-27 22:28:00] - My analogy still holds, I never found a way to turn it off during my breif stint with ICQ, btw. -- Xpovos

[2001-03-27 22:28:00] - If they are going to get you Andrew they are going to get you.  You talking to someone on ICQ isn't going to be the worst thing on your computer.  - nemo

[2001-03-27 22:28:00] - i mean the advantages far outweigh the disadvantages it would cause imho. - mig

[2001-03-27 22:28:00] - A friend and I once looked into creating a secure chat network.  I think there are existing projects to address this need. -logan

[2001-03-27 22:27:00] - once again, if you're worried about that then turn it off the feature. - mig

[2001-03-27 22:27:00] - Since what I use ICQ for is idle chat I don't mind that it is saved and actually it is nice if I ever need to look up that web adress or phone number someone mentioned weeks ago. - nemo

[2001-03-27 22:27:00] - The point is if they snoop on my convesations it's harder to get them all at once. -- Xpovos

[2001-03-27 22:26:00] - and someone could just as easily snoop into your conversations as you have them, as well as all your email and such.  what's your point? - mig

[2001-03-27 22:24:00] - I got AIM to talk with people I know who have aol.  But for the longest time ICQ was my program of choice and I had a huge ICQ list.  - nemo

[2001-03-27 22:24:00] - That's because it's the only issue you agree with :-) -paul

[2001-03-27 22:24:00] - And finally, the final straw, I just don't like it, so I won't use a product that has one. -- Xpovos

[2001-03-27 22:24:00] - the war on drugs banner is the best one.  ;)  -  aba

[2001-03-27 22:23:00] - There's privacy issues at stake there, I can only make my computer so secure, after that bam, instant access to all the nity gritty details of all my conversaions in one easy place. -- Xpovos

[2001-03-27 22:23:00] - 's a good idea.  -  aba

[2001-03-27 22:23:00] - Also andrew with ICQ you can delete message histories easily.  But the newest version of ICQ is lame.  AOL has corrupted it beyond hope of repair. - nemo

[2001-03-27 22:23:00] - *shrug*  i think the overwhelming majority of the people out there would say it

[2001-03-27 22:22:00] - if you are going to be talking about stuff that has the possibility of biting you in the ass later, then you most assuredly wouldn't be using such an unsecure method as icq or aim.  -  aba

[2001-03-27 22:22:00] - Typical yahoo conversation... Hi A/s/l.    Me: Um I'm a guy  Them: God damn fagot don't talk to me.  Me: Uh huh.    I mean they message me... and... *sigh* I just don't get it. - nemo

[2001-03-27 22:22:00] - how is it a bad idea, andrew?  since the files aren't necessarily that huge, and there is no downloading involved? - mig

[2001-03-27 22:21:00] - http://www.lp.org/action/banners/vote0052.html -logan

[2001-03-27 22:21:00] - The fact that you can turn it off doesn't keep it from being a bad idea, like the PIII ID chip, sure, I can turn it off, but I'll never buy another intel chip again. -- Xpovos

[2001-03-27 22:20:00] - Irc is scary, but you get as much porn traffic on AIM.  Yahoo chat rooms are worse. - nemo

[2001-03-27 22:20:00] - My irc client has history. :P -logan

[2001-03-27 22:20:00] - i like how that lawyer was a total dumbass.  ;)  -  aba

[2001-03-27 22:19:00] - I like how that lawyer misspelled 'statute'. -logan

[2001-03-27 22:19:00] - Yay! Number one! :-) -paul

[2001-03-27 22:19:00] - josh: that's true.  but that's no reason that aim shouldn't have it to begin with. - mig

[2001-03-27 22:18:00] - mig: use an aim clone, and you can have message history. -jdb

[2001-03-27 22:18:00] - message histories don't generate that much hd space.  it's like 1 byte per character typed.  that's like nothing. - mig

[2001-03-27 22:18:00] - you can always set it to not log your messages, but having the choice of logging them is a great idea.  -  aba

[2001-03-27 22:17:00] - As it is, with AIM, I can just save the conversations I want to save, and get rid of the idle chatter. -- Xpovos

[2001-03-27 22:17:00] - A message history is another bad idea, IMHO.  Either you get huge files clogging up your hard drive, or the downloads are long.  Neither is a good situation. -- Xpovos

[2001-03-27 22:17:00] - Irc is scary, lots of porn trading and other illegal stuff going on there -paul

[2001-03-27 22:17:00] - irc doesn't autolog does it?  -  aba

[2001-03-27 22:16:00] - message histories rock!!!!  i wish aim had them.  -  aba

[2001-03-27 22:16:00] - yes yes.  we all know irc is far superior. - mig

[2001-03-27 22:16:00] - if they had an unlisted number and you knew they used icq.  i dunno.  there are tons of situations.  -  aba

[2001-03-27 22:16:00] - Heh, irc had file transfers and the like long before icq even existed. :P -logan

[2001-03-27 22:15:00] - I demand that URL be removed :-) -paul

[2001-03-27 22:15:00] - aim still doesn't have message history. - mig

[2001-03-27 22:15:00] - Harry Browne is gay!? >:o -paul

[2001-03-27 22:14:00] - How could you not have the means to ask them? -- Xpovos

[2001-03-27 22:13:00] - well, if you need to get in touch with them urgently and could ask then why would you be using icq?  -  aba

[2001-03-27 22:13:00] - As a user of both AIM and ICQ ICQ had more options early on.  Message history, file transfer, real time chat, and others.  AIM Got a lot of their stuff from ICQ. - nemo

[2001-03-27 22:13:00] - Microsoft Instant Messanger! :-) -paul

[2001-03-27 22:12:00] - what if you don't have the means to ask theM? - mig

[2001-03-27 22:12:00] - and yeah logan, i'm gonna download mirc as soon as i reformat my hd and do a clean install of everything.  -  aba

[2001-03-27 22:12:00] - a: check this out http://harry.browne.isgay.com/ ; the "stupid people" link reminds me of your situation w/ pictures. -jdb

[2001-03-27 22:12:00] - If they're your friend it's simpler just to ask them -- Xpovos

[2001-03-27 22:11:00] - people who want to search for their friends or something. - mig

[2001-03-27 22:11:00] - personally, i think icq really had better capabilities in the beginning, but aol just was bigger and had more money.  if there was a really good alternative out there, i'd love to use it.  -  aba

[2001-03-27 22:10:00] - Who wants to find users? -- Xpovos

[2001-03-27 22:10:00] - Augh!!! They burned the Dale City mini-library... what was the point of that?!? -- Xpovos

[2001-03-27 22:10:00] - and icq has a way better search engine for finding users than aim does. - mig

[2001-03-27 22:09:00] - well i agree it was harder to use, but icq did have a lot of features that aim didn't until they bought it. - mig

[2001-03-27 22:09:00] - File transfer yes, but ICQ was not the only innovator. -- Xpovos

[2001-03-27 22:08:00] - hm.  not really.  icq had stuff like file transfer and all wayyyyy before aim did.  -  aba

[2001-03-27 22:07:00] - I disagree, miguel, ICQ had a terrible interface, was unstable, and lacked a lot of features that AIM already had as an independant program, before AOL bought it.  -- Xpovos

[2001-03-27 22:07:00] - it wasn't.  I worked on a clone once.  The protocol was pitiful. -logan

[2001-03-27 22:06:00] - it's a hell of a lot better than aim, andrew. - mig

[2001-03-27 22:05:00] - I really hated ICQ, it was not a good program in my opinion. -- Xpovos

[2001-03-27 22:04:00] - yeah i had icq for a long time, but it's user base is almost non-existant now, and the friends that i do talk to often don't have it. -mig

[2001-03-27 22:04:00] - i'll take irc any day. -logan

[2001-03-27 22:04:00] - Wooooo Me and mig agreed..... scary - nemo

[2001-03-27 22:03:00] - twas me - nemo

[2001-03-27 22:03:00] - I like ICQ more... Well before AIM bought it out.... but ICQ never had the user base.

[2001-03-27 22:03:00] - well you could argue for icq(but it's moot since aol bought it with the sole intent to kill it). - mig

[2001-03-27 22:01:00] - That's why I use the message board for all my conversing needs :-) -paul

[2001-03-27 22:00:00] - AOL does suck, but AIM is still better than any other comparable program out there. -- Xpovos

[2001-03-27 21:58:00] - there's also the alternative reason that is aol sucks.  -  aba

[2001-03-27 21:53:00] - Aims servers lately have taking a beating. - nemo

[2001-03-27 21:45:00] - No way, I'm the first to use bitchy? Go figure.  -- Xpovos

[2001-03-27 21:45:00] - AIM has been bitchy all week -- Xpovos

[2001-03-27 21:44:00] - Well, I will do it eventually. Seems AIM doesn't want to work right now -paul

[2001-03-27 21:44:00] - anyway, i am headed home.  i'll check back in 10 minutes or so from now.  -  aba

[2001-03-27 21:42:00] - Define Free thinker Andrew... Yeah it is an old post but I'm a bit behind. - nemo

[2001-03-27 21:42:00] - Will do -paul

[2001-03-27 21:41:00] - Good greif, that's terrible (re logan's post) -- Xpovos

[2001-03-27 21:41:00] - can you im that to me, paul?  i am int he library right now.  -  aba

[2001-03-27 21:40:00] - I wouldn't be too shy to talk since I wouldn't have to be afraid about people disagreeing with me :-) -paul

[2001-03-27 21:40:00] - http://www.frontpagemag.com/dh/2000/dh05-31-00.htm Here are the 10 points -paul

[2001-03-27 21:40:00] - http://www.arizonarepublic.com/arizona/articles/0322snitch22-ON.html -logan

[2001-03-27 21:40:00] - Bah! I am not too shy to talk, it's just that everyone gets upset when I do.  -- Xpovos

[2001-03-27 21:39:00] - bleh.    you guys would all sit around and stare at eachother since you all are too shy to actually talk.  :p  -  aba

[2001-03-27 21:39:00] - Theoretically one exists here already but I fear that the information I have is out of date, and even that said that the group only has 4 members :-) -paul

[2001-03-27 21:38:00] - http://www.geocities.com/freeatvt/  -  aba

[2001-03-27 21:38:00] - "I refuse to be any part of a club that would have me for a member." -- Groucho Marx

[2001-03-27 21:38:00] - Let's start a Libertarian club! -logan

[2001-03-27 21:37:00] - All that wonderful tax and tuition money wasted... *sigh* -- Xpovos

[2001-03-27 21:37:00] - considering that one and half months ago the club didn't exist, i think six regular members is a not that bad.  -  aba

[2001-03-27 21:37:00] - Ugh, that would be such a dilemma, would a libertarian group take money from the school? -paul
