[2001-06-08 09:00:00] - vinnie: Just governor and some other in-state posts... -paul

[2001-06-08 08:59:00] - bush is pushing to have missile defense program started up before the end of his term -dave

[2001-06-08 08:59:00] - jdb: Why is it silly to think there is a simple answer to failing public schools? -paul

[2001-06-08 08:57:00] - paul: what elections are there this year? - vinnie

[2001-06-08 08:57:00] - whoops, eections = elections -paul

[2001-06-08 08:57:00] - paul: yes, i agree with that page. i think tax cuts should not be a priority. i am very worried for future generations -- with our government operating in "pass our problems on to the future"-mode. -jdb

[2001-06-08 08:56:00] - dave: yeah, i remember that deal - vinnie

[2001-06-08 08:56:00] - errrr, if microsoft would promote aol in it's os, not browser -dave

[2001-06-08 08:56:00] - paul: i'm not sure what the solution is. it's silly to think there is a simple answer. i am positive though, that solely supporting a system where education quality is only determined by personal wealth is not a good thing. -jdb

[2001-06-08 08:55:00] - vinnie: You planning on voting in the 2001 eections in Virginia? -paul

[2001-06-08 08:54:00] - vinnie: well, aol did make a deal with microsoft to use their browser if microsoft would promote aol or something like that in its browsers -dave

[2001-06-08 08:51:00] - oops, you said aol, not netscape. well, they are the same company, so I guess it hurts aol - vinnie

[2001-06-08 08:51:00] - dave: it may already be over http://slashdot.org/articles/01/06/06/1149203.shtml - vinnie

[2001-06-08 08:48:00] - aol is also eyeing microsofts inclusion of instant messaging into windows xp. sound familiar? funny that aol now owns netscape -dave

[2001-06-08 08:48:00] - aol is working with gateway to produce a linux based internet machine -dave

[2001-06-08 08:47:00] - aol vs microsoft? who should win? who will win? -dave

[2001-06-08 08:42:00] - Well, that comment was to your first one :-) -paul

[2001-06-08 08:42:00] - it pains that the majority of users still use 800x600 :) - vinnie

[2001-06-08 08:41:00] - dave: Only when the government says it's ok -paul

[2001-06-08 08:41:00] - http://www.w3schools.com/browsers/browsers_stats.asp

[2001-06-08 08:40:00] - assuming a flag-burning amendment would make it illegal to burn the flag. is it the other way around? -dave

[2001-06-08 08:40:00] - so to use free speech to mock the government like that seems rather wrong. not that i'm for a flag-burning amendment -dave

[2001-06-08 08:39:00] - flag burning is quite ironic i think. the only reason people would be allowed to do it is beause our government promotes free speech -dave

[2001-06-08 08:37:00] - jdb: Do you think agree with that web-page about Bush's tax cut? -paul

[2001-06-08 08:36:00] - jdb: What is the solution to public schools? Pump more money into them? -paul

[2001-06-08 08:19:00] - but that means you need to get to my house even earlier, aaron - vinnie

[2001-06-08 08:12:00] - oops, i didn't see that plans were already made to meet on aparna.dhs.org. i guess we can meet at 6:30 by the red gate or whatever - vinnie

[2001-06-08 08:06:00] - i would recommend you get to my house at 6:45 - vinnie

[2001-06-08 08:02:00] - aaron: tmbg play at 7:15, so we should probably get there at 7:00 or earlier. plus, i'm not sure how bad parking will be - vinnie

[2001-06-08 07:37:00] - http://www.erowid.org/plants/salvia/salvia.shtml -jdb

[2001-06-08 07:31:00] - http://www.pfaw.org/news/press/2001-06-07.286.phtml -jdb

[2001-06-08 07:14:00] - paul: http://aporter.dhs.org/?a=2&d=74#18720 i think there are plenty of things wrong with public schools; i just don't think complete privatization is the solution. -jdb

[2001-06-08 06:47:00] - paul: i think a lot of things should be legalized, but regulated. -jdb

[2001-06-08 06:47:00] - the date rape drug is currently being proposed by a new company to be used as a sleeping aid. -jdb

[2001-06-08 01:42:00] - "Nothing will benefit human health or increase the chances for survival of life on earth as the evolution to a vegetarian diet." - albert einstein

[2001-06-07 23:59:00] - salvia divinorum is legal.  its surprising that more people dont know that.  check it out on erowid.org if you ever have time.  -  aba

[2001-06-07 23:35:00] - aparna.dhs.org is still a little buggy, so if you notice anything wrong, please email me so adrian and i can fix it.  also email me if you have any suggestions or other comments.  :)  -  aba

[2001-06-07 23:34:00] - dewey:  http://aparna.dhs.org/?a=0&d=24  posts about the fairfax fair  -  aba

[2001-06-07 23:21:00] - ALL: Question- who wants to go to the Fairfax Fair tomorrow night? I'm gonna sleep now, but IM me tomorrow- dewey

[2001-06-07 23:20:00] - paul: date rape drug is legal.  We use it in the medical field. - dewey

[2001-06-07 22:40:00] - jdb: So do you think we should legalize marijuana? How about stuff like heroin? The Date rape drug? -paul

[2001-06-07 22:39:00] - http://www.warrenfarrell.com/articles.htm

[2001-06-07 22:38:00] - you'd think many vets would be for the amendment, but fortunately it seems some of them see the hypocracy of it. - mig

[2001-06-07 22:38:00] - i like robb's speech on the issue from a few years back... -jdb

[2001-06-07 22:37:00] - mig: I was actually kind of surprised that Powell took the stance he did. I thought he would be another person for a flag burning ammendment -paul

[2001-06-07 22:36:00] - i think a lot of illegal things shouldn't be illegal. -jdb

[2001-06-07 22:34:00] - jdb: How about illegal narcotics? -paul

[2001-06-07 22:32:00] - whoops, tons of misspellings there. - mig

[2001-06-07 22:31:00] - on the flag amendment, while i comend colin powell for respecting free speech, i do resnet a little the fact that he implyed all those who burned flags were "miscreants". - mig

[2001-06-07 22:29:00] - if it's a piece of private property that can cause no sort of damage to others... sure, why not. if it's a piece of private property that can do damage: guns, land, cars, etc., then restricted ownership is reasonable. -jdb

[2001-06-07 22:27:00] - jdb: So as long as it is somebody's private property, they should be able to do whatever they want to it? -paul

[2001-06-07 22:19:00] - freedom of speech type of issue. as long as the flag is not state property, i see no reason why it should be treated different than any other piece of cloth. -jdb

[2001-06-07 22:07:00] - jdb: Why not? -paul

[2001-06-07 21:22:00] - paul: hell no. -jdb

[2001-06-07 19:34:00] - http://www.lp.org/press/archive.php?function=view&record=209

[2001-06-07 19:30:00] - f00

[2001-06-07 18:49:00] - people who requested housing changes should keep in mind that rdp is supposed to post their revisions tomorrow.  check your email.  -  aba

[2001-06-07 17:10:00] - jdb: Do you think we should have a flag burning ammendment? -paul

[2001-06-07 17:07:00] - no one has used twist before.  wow. - mig

[2001-06-07 17:01:00] - the ironic twist is that if you don't want this feature to show up on your website because you hate microsoft, you have to conform to internet explorer specific code to make sure it doesn't. - mig

[2001-06-07 16:58:00] - and while they don't force the option on, they make it so that you have to specifically request that it not "edit" your website, if it were the other way around i wouldn't mind so much. - mig

[2001-06-07 16:57:00] - it may only do that on the browser's end, but it's still misrepresnting any website that it changes. - mig

[2001-06-07 16:56:00] - i disagree.  adding links constitutes as adding content to a website, not just changing the font or color so it looks different. - mig

[2001-06-07 16:52:00] - http://www.psycport.com/news/2001/03/17/F/32511392-0051-Home.html

[2001-06-07 16:50:00] - IE already has several features, things like allowing "hover" hyperlinks to be default, and how you can change the font which pages are viewed in. This new auto-linking thing doesn't seem too different. - aaron

[2001-06-07 16:49:00] - Maybe if IE was the only browser, and if they forced that option to be on, then I would understand how it would be bad - aaron

[2001-06-07 16:49:00] - Just like viewing my neighbors house through yellow-tinted sunglasses doesn't change their house color. I can just take the glasses off and see their house as it was intended to be seen - aaron

[2001-06-07 16:48:00] - A web browser creating hyperlinks isn't actually editing the websites, it's changing how the users of that browser see the websites. I think the sunglasses metaphor works quite well. - aaron

[2001-06-07 16:38:00] - the flag amendment. - mig

[2001-06-07 16:38:00] - hmmm... orrin hatch is introducing it this year, why does that not surprise me. - mig

[2001-06-07 16:36:00] - if i look at the world through sunglasses, i'm not going to see anything that wasn't there before. - mig

[2001-06-07 16:36:00] - all this candy talk is making me hungry.  :[  -  aba

[2001-06-07 16:35:00] - because it actually is re-editing websites. - mig

[2001-06-07 16:34:00] - i don't think it's overreacting or misleading. - mig

[2001-06-07 16:33:00] - http://www.aclu.org/action/flag107.html -jdb

[2001-06-07 16:23:00] - http://aporter.dhs.org/?a=4&d=mmm .... Ha ha ha. Funny to see the kinds of objects which people find delicious - aaron

[2001-06-07 16:18:00] - aaron: i mean, duh everyone knows that =P -dave

[2001-06-07 16:17:00] - aaron: i wasn't saying candy was bad for you. i was just comparing it to fat. you need fat to live too -dave

[2001-06-07 16:13:00] - mmm candy -jdb

[2001-06-07 15:57:00] - Oh and I think this headline, "New Windows XP Feature can re-edit others sites", is really misleading. It's roughly the same as saying "New pair of tinted glasses can re-edit universe"... I really think they're overreacting - aaron

[2001-06-07 15:49:00] - Too much orange juice is bad for you. Too much oatmeal is bad for you. Ever see Seven? - aaron

[2001-06-07 15:48:00] - Right. It sounds like you're both saying the same thing, "too much candy is bad for you". That doesn't make candy bad for you. Too much of anything is bad for you, duh. - aaron

[2001-06-07 15:43:00] - but it's still kinda the same as eating fat, because a thin person would just burn up the fat as well -dave

[2001-06-07 15:42:00] - and if they eat candy, they burn up all the sugar calories. -dave

[2001-06-07 15:42:00] - aaron: some people have very high metabolisms and burn calories much faster than normal people. that's usually why thin people are thin -dave

[2001-06-07 15:36:00] - a: Then if candy is not making me fat (it's not), how is it bad for me? - aaron

[2001-06-07 15:14:00] - http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=01/06/06/1354225&mode=thread

[2001-06-07 15:00:00] - the other problem i see, which the article pointed out, is that companies will be able to put add-on plugin that allow for their own smart tags.  i see no good coming from this. - mig

[2001-06-07 14:57:00] - as bad?  i think it's worse.  - mig

[2001-06-07 14:57:00] - jdb: Ok -paul

[2001-06-07 14:54:00] - paul: thanks for the invite, but i don't want to go anywhere for a good while. :) -jdb

[2001-06-07 14:44:00] - mig: i dunno if it is as bad as a hacker breaking into your computer, but i agree, the whole thing smacks of big brother and monopoly manipulation -dave

[2001-06-07 14:40:00] - i can't think of many types of candy that has a lot of fat. i think they're mostly just sugar, but as adrian has astutely pointed out, in most cases that is just as bad -dave

[2001-06-07 14:38:00] - i see this as no different than a hacker breaking into my computer and modyfying my web page directly. - mig

[2001-06-07 14:38:00] - http://www.wnd.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=23001

[2001-06-07 14:34:00] - i.e.  microsoft has no right to put these abonimations on my page unless i specifically permit them to do so. - mig

[2001-06-07 14:33:00] - i know that the special meta tags are the counter to the smart tags, but the problem is that it forces this whole smart tag thing to be opt-out instead of opt-in, like it should be. - mig

[2001-06-07 14:30:00] - the problem:  why should i have to? - mig

[2001-06-07 14:25:00] - miguel, re: smart tags.  the solution is simple, make that special meta tag a required part of the html specifications.  :)  ~a

[2001-06-07 14:10:00] - yay.  thanks adrian.  :)  -  aba

[2001-06-07 14:07:00] - aaron:  http://aporter.dhs.org/?a=4&d=moooo  ~a

[2001-06-07 14:05:00] - sure.  ~a

[2001-06-07 14:04:00] - some candy has very low fat but tons of sugar.  that is still bad because if sugar isn't metabolized it will still make you fat.  ~a

[2001-06-07 14:04:00] - a: can you come over later today to help me with a layout for aparna.dhs.org?  -  aba

[2001-06-07 14:03:00] - and chances are it will since you get lots of sugar from regular food.  ~a

[2001-06-07 14:03:00] - candy is bad for you if it raises your fat or sugar intake past what you are metabolizing.  ~a

[2001-06-07 13:52:00] - apologies accepted :-) If you want to win an argument, argue about politics and such. But board games and candy are my turf :-) - aaron

[2001-06-07 13:51:00] - http://aporter.dhs.org/?a=4&d=soooo :-) - aaron

[2001-06-07 13:51:00] - aaron: You are absolutely right, candy is not bad for you. I was wrong. My apologies -paul

[2001-06-07 13:49:00] - soooo lame :) - vinnie

[2001-06-07 13:48:00] - yeah, i didn't have any good pictures there either. i'll probably end up using either this one picture from the aquarium or this one from macado's - vinnie

[2001-06-07 13:48:00] - Vinnie puts the "HA!" back in "Hannibal".... OK that was lame :-) - aaron

[2001-06-07 13:47:00] - Speaking of pictures in which you look stupid, I need to remember to upload those time's up photos :-) - aaron

[2001-06-07 13:46:00] - paul: even looking through candid photos of myself, I can't find where I don't look stupid :) - vinnie

[2001-06-07 13:44:00] - http://www.technologyreview.com/web/leo/leo060601.asp  fluorescent lighting can help the handicapped.  interesting article.  -  aba

[2001-06-07 13:44:00] - It is not very nutritional but that does not mean it is bad for you, Paul. Sugar and fat and such are still needed by the body - aaron

[2001-06-07 13:44:00] - And why did they decide to refer to Malcolm in the middle, when talking about candy convention raids? Simpsons did it first, and was probably funnier too (though I haven't actually seen Malcolm's candy convention raid) - aaron

[2001-06-07 13:43:00] - It's not very nutritional and is unhealthy -paul

[2001-06-07 13:39:00] - explain how - aaron

[2001-06-07 13:38:00] - Candy is bad for you -paul

[2001-06-07 13:37:00] - "Stinky Feet" are made by the "Toe-Rific Candy Company"...?! - aaron

[2001-06-07 13:32:00] - http://www.abelarusbride.com/

[2001-06-07 13:28:00] - http://dailynews.yahoo.com/h/nm/20010607/od/food_candyexpo_dc_1.html    yummy candy.  -  aba

[2001-06-07 13:20:00] - http://www.spinnwebe.com/quotes/elizabeths.jpeg ... Just rebrowsing Spinn's goofy quotes archive again... Such ridiculous punctuation! - aaron

[2001-06-07 13:03:00] - jdb: Do you want to go to King's Dominion on the 9th? -paul

[2001-06-07 13:02:00] - i agree. :-D -jdb

[2001-06-07 12:51:00] - jdb: I think that American colleges in general tend to be more liberal then the American population but I agree that Tech is more conservative then most colleges and probably more apathetic as well -paul

[2001-06-07 12:48:00] - paul: "we get to hear about it a lot more since college campuses are very liberal places" do you think virginia tech is a liberal place? :-P i think virginia tech is about as conservative (and even more so, apathetic) as it gets. -jdb

[2001-06-07 12:25:00] - vinnie: I know exactly what you mean about getting your picture taken, I am the same way -paul

[2001-06-07 12:14:00] - oh whoops, i didn't see that last msg. - mig

[2001-06-07 12:14:00] - hmmm.... i usually don't talk to myself.... - mig

[2001-06-07 12:10:00] - d'oh! that was me, didn't mean to sign your name -dave

[2001-06-07 12:10:00] - mig: that seems awfully scary to me -mig

[2001-06-07 11:52:00] - http://www.gregpalast.com/detail.cfm?artid=83&row=1 -jdb

[2001-06-07 11:45:00] - i'm also very skeptical to whether this is legal or not.  it sure seems illegal. - mig

[2001-06-07 11:32:00] - though i guess it won't matter, because no website will be safe now. - mig

[2001-06-07 11:25:00] - i am so not getting xp. - mig

[2001-06-07 11:22:00] - http://public.wsj.com/sn/y/SB991862595554629527.html boo! - mig

[2001-06-07 11:15:00] - dang taxes. they took 27% of my paycheck -dave

[2001-06-07 10:12:00] - it is 237kb . . . that should take 4 seconds if your connection is fast enough.  ~a

[2001-06-07 10:06:00] - i heard this on the radio the last two mornings in a row @@@/jenna-bottle.mp3  .  .  .  it was on 98 rock (http://www.98online.com/).  it is really funny.  i'm a jenna in a bottle!  ~a

[2001-06-07 09:39:00] - dave: I would think they would have an easier time passing their energy bill then passing health care reform though.... Maybe not... -paul

[2001-06-07 09:33:00] - paul:maybe they don't have enough support to do it the way they want right now? -dave

[2001-06-07 09:22:00] - dave: I think it's a bit odd that the democrats aren't going to push ahead with their owen energy plan since that seems to be a major concern of americans right now... -paul

[2001-06-07 09:19:00] - more nuclear power plants! yay! lol -dave

[2001-06-07 09:14:00] - dave: He wanted to get congres to consider his energy plan -paul

[2001-06-07 09:11:00] - what was next on bush's agenda following the tax cut? like what is he doing now? -dave

[2001-06-07 09:06:00] - dave: Um.... I guess it was good because it passed (he can get controversial bills through congress) and because it made conservatives happy (at least those that don't know any better) -paul

[2001-06-07 09:02:00] - paul: do you think the tax cut was a good political move for bush? -dave

[2001-06-07 09:01:00] - paul: lol - vinnie

[2001-06-07 09:00:00] - dave: well, I would equate the tax cut to a store having a 1% off everything sale. It's not a bad thing, but it's not big enough to even notice. -paul

[2001-06-07 08:58:00] - dave: Which means we are going to see health care and patient's bill of rights bills before we see the bills Bush wants to push through -paul

[2001-06-07 08:57:00] - dave: I think it means that the Democrats have much more control over which legislation gets introduced now that they control a branch of government -paul

[2001-06-07 08:56:00] - paul: so the tax cut is a bad thing? -dave

[2001-06-07 08:55:00] - dave: Um.... it means the Democrats get to blame Bush whenever anything bad happens and we get to hear about it a lot more since college campuses are very liberal places -paul

[2001-06-07 08:54:00] - oops, changing will have -dave

[2001-06-07 08:54:00] - paul: and what sort of impact do you think the senate changing from republican to democrat have? -dave

[2001-06-07 08:53:00] - paul: what does this tax cut mean for us college kids? -dave

[2001-06-07 08:51:00] - dave: I have no idea why there is a ten year cap, my guess was to appeal to democrats who were afraid that the government might not keep getting bigger if we made it permanent -paul

[2001-06-07 08:50:00] - of course that could arguably be one of the reasons it passed at all -dave

[2001-06-07 08:49:00] - it just seems rather wasteful for them to go through all that trouble of passing a tax bill, and then it not even lasting that long -dave

[2001-06-07 08:48:00] - paul: so it's more of like a one-time refund huh? that's the reason for the 10 year cap? -dave

[2001-06-07 08:45:00] - Besides, it's not like the cut is actually making government any smaller. They had some money left over and figured they might as well give some back instead of spending it all -paul

[2001-06-07 08:44:00] - dave: The tax cut we are getting now is more like a refund. The economy was doing well so the government overcharged everybody so they are giving us that overcharged money back, except they are keeping most of it -paul

[2001-06-07 08:42:00] - mig: nvidia officially released the drivers today. they're on the nvidia site now -dave

[2001-06-07 08:42:00] - paul: you think the tax cut we got actually does anything? -dave

[2001-06-07 08:31:00] - dave: Not big enough -paul

[2001-06-07 08:28:00] - anyone here have anything to say about the tax cut? -dave

[2001-06-07 08:28:00] - the post seems to think that the tax cut is more political than economical. most conservative critics, according to the post, say that it really doesn't provide too much tax relief -dave

[2001-06-07 08:27:00] - bush's tax plan reduces taxes for 10 years, but then everything reverts to what it was before. how odd -dave

[2001-06-07 08:19:00] - that or a computer rights club = ) they're people too! oh....wait.... = ) -dave

[2001-06-07 08:19:00] - aba: we should start a computer beater's anonymous club -dave

[2001-06-07 08:14:00] - heck, that's like our budget for the military -dave

[2001-06-07 08:14:00] - i think what's more frightening is the $146 billion awarded in a class action suit -dave

[2001-06-06 23:58:00] - http://www.usatoday.com/hlead.htm

[2001-06-06 23:45:00] - bad article.  if you look at the actual data it says 25% of the people said they had abused a computer not that 25% of computers have been abused.  -  aba

[2001-06-06 22:50:00] - well, the upside to installing mandrake 7 is that adrian has all the cds and documentation, so you don't have to dl it all.  plus it has an autoupdated once your online.  whatever floats your boat though.  -  aba

[2001-06-06 20:31:00] - ... "turnabout" business, and christians found it crude, offensive, and narrow-minded.  neither one of us succeded in "enlightening" the other.  i can't imagine it working under any other "never to be resolved" circumstance, either. - katie

[2001-06-06 20:29:00] - there was that incident in the ct where that guy tried to employ that tactic in a political cartoon.  as a non-christian, i found it crude, offensive, and narrow-minded.  so josh and i made a "rebuttal" cartoon utilizing the same kind of...

[2001-06-06 20:27:00] - rather, is it effective? - katie

[2001-06-06 20:21:00] - is "turnabout" fair play in all cases? racial arguments, for example? religious ones? - katie

[2001-06-06 19:51:00] - you might as well install the latest and greatest version of mandrake, not 7. -jdb

[2001-06-06 17:23:00] - I wanna publish zines And rage against machines I wanna pierce my tongue It doesn't hurt it feels fine

[2001-06-06 17:20:00] - dave: turnabout may be fair play, but I don't want to sound like the feminists -paul

[2001-06-06 17:06:00] - if you want mandrake 7, adrian has the entire suite on cd

[2001-06-06 17:05:00] - i can't type :( - katie

[2001-06-06 17:05:00] - and to = do

[2001-06-06 17:05:00] - 69k = 68k

[2001-06-06 17:04:00] - ... beowulf cluster. - katie

[2001-06-06 17:04:00] - on a semi-related note, i've been toying around with the idea of running darwin on my motorola clone, and m68k linux on my two 69k macs, networking them, making them to some distributed math, and then bragging about owning the world's most useless...

[2001-06-06 17:01:00] - so i suppose my answer is that i prefer neither, heh. - katie

[2001-06-06 17:01:00] - i dual booted debian and win2k for about a week, but i ended up never using debian because everything i needed was in windows. - katie

[2001-06-06 16:38:00] - whoops quick linux question i mean. - mig

[2001-06-06 16:38:00] - quick linux:  which one would you all prefer:  red hat or mandrake? - mig

[2001-06-06 16:22:00] - in either case, i think he's justified. because turnabout is fair play for something like this i would think -dave

[2001-06-06 16:21:00] - i mean, if his article came across as saying women are evil, than feminist articles definitely come across as saying men are evil. -dave

[2001-06-06 16:20:00] - maybe it's just the way i read things, but i felt that his article did a good job of presenting the opposite side of the story. -dave

[2001-06-06 16:20:00] - well, what i really meant was i could see how someone would take it that way. - mig

[2001-06-06 16:19:00] - mig: i don't think he implied that all women are evil at all. -dave

[2001-06-06 16:18:00] - paul: i actually don't think you came close at all -dave

[2001-06-06 16:16:00] - Well, I have to go now, I'll check back on the board tonight if I can, Miguel. Bye -paul

[2001-06-06 16:15:00] - you come close to implying that all women are evil.  which in turn would be considered a personal attack on aparna. - mig

[2001-06-06 16:12:00] - mig: to which one? -paul

[2001-06-06 16:10:00] - you came close. - mig

[2001-06-06 16:08:00] - dave: Do I really come across as claiming all women are evil in my journal? Did I say something to make her think it was a personal attack on her? -paul

[2001-06-06 16:03:00] - paul: i don't understand how she could have ever gotten that idea = ) -dave

[2001-06-06 15:21:00] - dewey: And I'm the one Aparna labels as hating women..... -paul

[2001-06-06 15:20:00] - no ladies to shock or to have object - dewey

[2001-06-06 15:19:00] - I would write something disgusting to discuss, but I don't think there is anyone but you and I- and what would be the fun factor in that? - dewey

[2001-06-06 15:18:00] - hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm, you would think so anyway :-p -dewey

[2001-06-06 15:15:00] - nothing above that, i believe - vinnie

[2001-06-06 15:15:00] - from using adrian's search, here's how it breaks down: hm: 37; hmm: 31; hmmm: 47; hmmmm: 17; hmmmmm: 5; hmmmmmm: 0; and hmmmmmmm: 1 - vinnie

[2001-06-06 15:13:00] - you know what's interesting to see? how many "m"s people use in the word hmmm - vinnie

[2001-06-06 15:10:00] - I'm sure I can think of something disgusting :) -dewey

[2001-06-06 15:08:00] - hmmmm, what shall we discuss? i suggest something offensive :P - vinnie

[2001-06-06 15:01:00] - bleh, i have to go run errands.  i guess you all can start discussing now that i am leaving.  :-p  -  aba

[2001-06-06 13:31:00] - aba: Sorry, I've got a lot on my mind. Just please don't take it personally -paul

[2001-06-06 13:27:00] - blockbuster tacked on some extra late fees without informing their customers like they were supposed to.  so if you paid late fees within a certain period of time you are probably entitled some benefits back.  -  aba

[2001-06-06 13:26:00] - i knew that paul.  i was just kidding.  why so serious all of a sudden?  -  aba

[2001-06-06 13:23:00] - i don't understand the blockbuster thing, what is "extended viewing fee"? - mig

[2001-06-06 13:22:00] - aba: You -paul

[2001-06-06 13:19:00] - heh, so adrian is biased while vinnie and dewey aren't?  what, pray tell, could your criteria be . . . . ?  ;)  -  aba

[2001-06-06 13:12:00] - a: I am only asking people who have read my latest journal entry and who I also think are relatively unbiased in the question I am asking. -paul

[2001-06-06 13:07:00] - a: I'm sorry, please don't take it personally that I am not asking you. -paul

[2001-06-06 12:54:00] - anyone know if Leadtek is a good brand? -dave

[2001-06-06 11:52:00] - the problem is that the riaa is still ignorant of what the situation is.  It's the users of the system that are commiting the copyright infringement, not the system itself. - mig

[2001-06-06 11:50:00] - service providers can block stuff of their own free will, but they are certainly under no obligation to. - mig
