[2001-04-28 15:04:00] - Also, about the flash thing - It didn't work on Vinnie's machine for some reason, and I don't know if it's intentional but my picture isn't rotating around the center of the flash window, it's more leftish - aaron
[2001-04-28 14:58:00] - a: I have no idea, I've never used them. Try looking at a page with working embedded flash. -logan

[2001-04-28 14:41:00] - And at least most christian web pages I've been to are against Pokemon and M:TG because they contain magic and superhuman powers... Something which appears to be a part of Bibleman, based on his abilities to fly and reflect lasers - aaron

[2001-04-27 17:35:00] - I find it more likely that they're lying to cover up how they're really wasting time.
-logan[2001-04-27 17:34:00] - I mean, it takes less than a second to press 'd' and delete and email; the spam is always obviously spam, from the subject line. Why it'd take people half a day to deal with this is beyond me. -logan
[2001-04-27 17:33:00] - I don't get that much junk mail. I use procmail to take care of organizing mail based on mailing lists, etc., and if jumk mail ever became a problem, I might write filters for that. There's also things like RBL, etc. -logan
[2001-04-27 17:18:00] - back to a previous topic: logan, what tools do you use for filtering junk email. what can you filter on? ~a

[2001-04-27 15:40:00] - I agree. That's the main reason I've never submitted an editorial. I'm not very confident in my writing abilities. -logan

[2001-04-27 01:51:00] - When really we're making fun of racists. -logan
[2001-04-27 01:50:00] - I have friends of other races with whom I make racist jokes with (they make them more than I). If any overly-sensitive person overheard us, they'd accuse us both of racism.
-logan[2001-04-27 01:50:00] - then again my private school was strangely diverse, so racism wasn't that much of a problem. - mig
[2001-04-27 01:49:00] - well said, logan - boing
[2001-04-27 01:49:00] - I was racist. I was around all sorts of racist people. And I was around a few black people that were total assholes. But then I grew up, and met more people, and learned that assholes are just assholes, regardless of race. -logan
[2001-04-27 01:45:00] - yeah, and aparna, you are among the best-spoken people I know - boing
[2001-04-27 01:44:00] - as soon as I learned about those cultures, I was able to handle it... but too many people never learn to handle it - boing
[2001-04-27 01:43:00] - logan knows where I'm coming from. I wasn't racist as a kid, I was just ignorant of other cultures - boing
[2001-04-27 01:43:00] - i know friends who have, though. - mig
[2001-04-27 01:43:00] - i guess i'm fortunate to never have had problems with racism. - mig
[2001-04-27 01:42:00] - new words: priya and verma
- boing[2001-04-27 01:42:00] - boing: I had the same problem.
-logan[2001-04-27 01:42:00] - the first day i came to school here, they tried to stick me in esl even though i had scored extremely well on my fcps placement tests.
- aba[2001-04-27 01:41:00] - does anyone remember priya verma from tj? - boing
[2001-04-27 01:40:00] - the indian girl told me later that, even though her test scores and grades were more than acceptable for her to be in advanced math classes, some of the teachers wouldn't let her - boing
[2001-04-27 01:39:00] - I went to a private school in which my class was 100% white until fifth grade, then an indian girl and a black boy joined us, and it was instantly clear which kids were unprepared to be around people of different races - boing
[2001-04-27 01:39:00] - i don't think it's become "outdated" yet in our society. - mig
[2001-04-27 01:38:00] - mig: you think segregation was that "short" of an issue? -jdb
[2001-04-27 01:38:00] - segregation was accepted as racist by a significantly large group of people for a long time before it went away. - aba
[2001-04-27 01:38:00] - ooh, harsh jdb
- boing[2001-04-27 01:38:00] - mig: then explain christianity
-jdb[2001-04-27 01:38:00] - I was a racist when I was a little kid. I grew up. Some people never do. -logan
[2001-04-27 01:37:00] - look at segregation. as soon as it was accepted that it was racist, it went away, and people didn't think it was a good idea anymore. - mig
[2001-04-27 01:37:00] - most "hate crimes" as we define them are isolated incidents by people who don't belong to hate organizations - boing
[2001-04-27 01:36:00] - not really. as beliefs become outdated, people generally don't follow them anymore. - mig
[2001-04-27 01:36:00] - *cough* marijuanalaws *cough*
[2001-04-27 01:36:00] - There are still people that think the earth is flat. -logan
[2001-04-27 01:36:00] - considering the number of crimes committed because of race per year, i doubt these groups are really as "insignificant" as you say they are.
[2001-04-27 01:36:00] - mig: would you agree that many people have outdated beliefs that reflect the past? -jdb
[2001-04-27 01:35:00] - the people who join hate groups like the kkk almost uniformly come from backgrounds that emphasized racial differences to them as children - boing
[2001-04-27 01:35:00] - they exist because they choose not to change their out-dated beliefs, what's so strange about that. - mig
[2001-04-27 01:35:00] - They are so small as to be insignificant. And just how "integrated" do you think these people are? -logan
[2001-04-27 01:34:00] - or are they not really racist after all? -jdb
[2001-04-27 01:34:00] - logan: how would you explain racist groups such as neo-nazi's, kkk, etc.? they've been "integrated" in our "diverse" society for a long while now, yet they still exist. -jdb
[2001-04-27 01:32:00] - but nevertheless, racial differences that really matter are so few and far between that it really is a non-issue - boing
[2001-04-27 01:31:00] - likely to generate vitamin D (which is used to make bones) - boing
[2001-04-27 01:31:00] - jdb: It is a social construct now. It's not a rare occurrence that you see a non-white person, now, is it? -logan
[2001-04-27 01:31:00] - but a black person in space would need either special UV lighting or a diet much more rich in vitamin D, since bones are greatly reduced in mass after being in space, and a black person's pigment would make their skin a lot less... - boing
[2001-04-27 01:30:00] - so, if racism is natural... it's not a social construct? -jdb
[2001-04-27 01:29:00] - there are (extremely minor) reasons why race matters. for example - though I don't know if this contributes to any existing nasa hiring schemes... - boing
[2001-04-27 01:28:00] - jdb: You're misunderstanding me again, by insisting that my argument is simply ignoring that it exists. -logan
[2001-04-27 01:27:00] - For instance, the only thing that makes racism natural is lack of diversity. So in comes affirmative action to make things more diverse. More diversity is good. But, at the same time, you're making race an issue somewhere else. -logan
[2001-04-27 01:26:00] - if a system is built upon a very specific class structure, you can't make it "not matter" by saying it doesn't exist. the way to make it "not matter" is by understanding differences and learning new ways to make compromises, etc. -jdb
[2001-04-27 01:26:00] - All these supposed solutions to race relations seem to me to be equivalent to trying to lift your own self off the ground by the ears. -logan
[2001-04-27 01:23:00] - jdb: I challenge you to give me one reason why race matters that has anything at all to do with the intrinsic properties of a particular race. -logan
[2001-04-27 01:22:00] - jdb: Race matters because we make it matter. People talk about not making it matter, but their means to accomplish this involve making race matter even more! -logan
[2001-04-27 01:21:00] - I don't think it's not a problem, but it's a problem that's only in our minds. In a lot of ways, that's even worse, because people are a lot less eager to change their minds than to fix a tangible problem with the world - boing
[2001-04-27 01:20:00] - race does matter.
-jdb[2001-04-27 01:20:00] - jdb: My objection is that, to get rid of the problem, many people advocate employing means that are the embodiment of the problem itself. -logan
[2001-04-27 01:20:00] - i think racism exists. i just think that crying "racism!" where it doesn't exist only serves to further racial tensions. - mig
[2001-04-27 01:20:00] - jdb: You misunderstand my argument. -logan
[2001-04-27 01:19:00] - I wonder what happens when you take a girl that's the child of, say, a white mother and a black father, with lots of white, black, and Asian relatives.
-logan[2001-04-27 01:18:00] - logan: i htink by actively stating "this is not a problem," we are ignoring reality. -jdb
[2001-04-27 01:18:00] - jdb: Young girls that spend most of their time seeing white faces -- they're going to assume that most people are white. -logan
[2001-04-27 01:18:00] - ..the girls were pretty young. 3-6 or so. -jdb
[2001-04-27 01:17:00] - ...white girls tended to pick black dolls when asked to give the observer "the bad doll" (and vice-versa). when asked to give the experimenter the "pretty doll," they picked their own race. experiment continued like this for many questions.... -jdb
[2001-04-27 01:16:00] - one of the most interesting studies of "racism" that i've read was about young girls and their dolls... -jdb
[2001-04-27 01:16:00] - for once i do have to agree with logan. - mig
[2001-04-27 01:16:00] - By continuously stating that race matters, we are perpetuating the artificial concept that it matters. -logan
[2001-04-27 01:15:00] - that problem is because of racism enacted by both sides. - mig
[2001-04-27 01:15:00] - jdb: That is the inertia I speak of. -logan
[2001-04-27 01:15:00] - Now, most people see people of various races all their life, and there's no reason for them to naturally make any real distinction. -logan
[2001-04-27 01:14:00] - sure they're still segregated. nearly ever city or town has a "black neighborhood," for example. -jdb
[2001-04-27 01:13:00] - Maybe back in the day when everyone around you was your race, and whomever you mated with was most likely to be of the same race, racism could be expected to naturally occur. -logan
[2001-04-27 01:12:00] - It was when our races were geographically segregated. They no longer are, and what we're dealing with now is inertia, as the races mix and more people are born not really belonging to any clear race. -logan
[2001-04-27 01:11:00] - isn't that line human nature? -jdb
[2001-04-27 01:10:00] - The line is the problem. -logan
[2001-04-27 01:10:00] - I'd rather there not be a line. -logan
[2001-04-27 01:09:00] - jdb: should the line be drawn? - mig
[2001-04-27 01:08:00] - logan: where do you draw the line? -jdb
[2001-04-27 01:08:00] - I think this whole hypersensitivity thing is the problem, not the jokes. -logan
[2001-04-27 01:08:00] - mig: depends on the audience (whether or not acceptable). -jdb
[2001-04-27 01:07:00] - Are jokes about races racist, anyway? -logan
[2001-04-27 01:04:00] - probably not,s ince it's socially acceptable to make fun of hicks, but not acceptable to make fun of blacks. - mig
[2001-04-27 01:04:00] - my question is, would there have been such an uproar about if it was a "southern hick loan application"? - mig
[2001-04-27 01:02:00] - as for the "code of conduct" is does not prohibit "behavior that might offend others. - mig
[2001-04-27 00:58:00] - simply saying, we can't violate this person's 1st amendment rights is not the same thing as saying we support what you're doing. - mig

[2001-04-27 00:56:00] - "When the First Amendment is evoked by institutions to protect racists, then institutions are facilitating racism." i don't buy that for a second. - mig
[2001-04-27 00:55:00] - i hate how these people view the first amendment as an obstacle, or think that it applies to them and no one else(unless they think the way they do). - mig

[2001-04-26 23:55:00] - although I think the "vt code of conduct" argument is somewhat valid - boing
[2001-04-26 23:53:00] - I wonder what ibanks would suggest happen to the white student... while I think it was a great error in judgement, how many of us are guilty of telling offensive jokes? - boing
[2001-04-26 23:52:00] - I also don't like the tone that treats that email as something more sinister that what it actually was: a tasteless joke - boing
[2001-04-26 23:51:00] - the university just didn't "silence" the white student who sent that - boing
[2001-04-26 23:51:00] - I mean, that page implies that the university "silenced" their protest of that email, but they weren't stopped from saying they disapprove - boing
[2001-04-26 23:48:00] - obviously, racism is a negative aspect of society, but as long as it does not incite people to racist actions, the philosophy of "free speech" says that we must allow it - boing
[2001-04-26 23:45:00] - I have to say that I am fairly annoyed at the theme of that ibanks page... - boing

-logan[2001-04-26 17:40:00] - yeah, i think your basic software views would be similar. -jdb
[2001-04-26 17:40:00] - I guess he'd agree with me that intellectual property is eventually going to lead the state to curtailing our freedoms. -logan
[2001-04-26 17:39:00] - Not really. Our motivations are somewhat different. -logan
[2001-04-26 17:38:00] - logan: so you and rms might get along after all?
-jdb[2001-04-26 17:36:00] - Previously, I took a neutral stance on software piracy. But now I see a good reason to encourage it. -logan
[2001-04-26 17:35:00] - jdb: As long as making money off of intellectual property rights is possible, we're going to see the government placing more and more restrictions on the consumer (just look at the DMCA). Thus I want to make it as unprofitable as possible.
-logan[2001-04-26 17:35:00] - we should all just make everything open source and save a lot of trouble. - mig

[2001-04-26 17:31:00] - If miguel were rich and powerful, there'd be the IRS trying to get his money. There'd be other corporations getting the government to destroy him. It's just like the mafia. -logan
