[2001-06-12 08:46:00] - dewey: i never saw one - vinnie
[2001-06-12 08:46:00] - so did I miss a death penalty discussion earlier in the year, or shall I start one now? - dewey
[2001-06-12 08:45:00] - dewey: dc101 sent flounder to the execution yesterday too -dave
[2001-06-12 08:45:00] - oh my, if I keep posting I might move ahead of paul! :o how is that possible? - dewey
[2001-06-12 08:44:00] - "how can you have any pudding if you don't have any meat?!" so vegitarians never get desert? - dewey
[2001-06-12 08:43:00] - The issue is a hot topic (vengence vs justice) but, ugh, news people make me sick. - dewey
[2001-06-12 08:42:00] - at least other channels were willing to give me the weather forcast, and the news that a Metro officer had been shot (slightly more important ifyou ask me). - dewey
[2001-06-12 08:41:00] - good grief! did anyone see all the McVeigh coverage yesterday on the news? Channel 7 had an hour-long show just about yesterday's events. - dewey
[2001-06-12 08:39:00] - http://sushiref.com/listings <-- mmm, sushi!
-jdb[2001-06-12 08:35:00] - but has the government "overcharged" me? i don't know... -jdb
[2001-06-12 08:33:00] - jdb: i think that's more a change of government rather than something from the government
-dave[2001-06-12 08:31:00] - paul: there's nothing wrong with wanting things from the government. i, for example, want a new president.
-jdb[2001-06-12 08:29:00] - paul: i got the internal lan working yesterday, now i just have to set up a proxy server -dave
[2001-06-12 08:27:00] - aba: the study that you said your mom was working on made the post -dave
[2001-06-11 23:35:00] - jdb: What's so wrong with wanting money back from a government which has overcharged you? -paul
[2001-06-11 23:22:00] - jdb: That's the spirit
-paul[2001-06-11 23:17:00] - yes, i want to give all of my money to my favorite anti-government militias. -jdb
[2001-06-11 23:10:00] - jdb: See? Aren't you glad you'll be able to spend your own money on those charities rather then have the government spend the money? -paul
[2001-06-11 23:08:00] - how can you have any pudding if you don't have any meat?!
[2001-06-11 23:03:00] - Afghanistan sounds like a scary place to live -paul

[2001-06-11 22:00:00] - gay people are gay. ~a
[2001-06-11 21:53:00] - i'm sure logan and others would like this schoolyard subversion post --> http://swartzfam.com/aaron/school/2001/06/03/ -jdb
[2001-06-11 21:41:00] - i found part of that death article to be the most relevant and interesting http://www.nybooks.com/nyrev/WWWfeatdisplay.cgi?20010621006F@p8 -jdb

[2001-06-11 20:47:00] - o the death penalty. - mig
[2001-06-11 20:47:00] - well, the thing is that i believe that those who are "beyond redemption" should be put to death. However, it is simply not possible to determine if one is "beyond redemption", and the courts have already proven they are not capable of this, so nay t
[2001-06-11 20:30:00] - paul: ultimately, i think that the death penalty is not the answer. so, bad. -jdb
[2001-06-11 20:11:00] - yes, i have mixed feelings about it. - mig
[2001-06-11 20:10:00] - mig and jdb: So somewhere between good and bad? -paul
[2001-06-11 19:52:00] - http://www.newscientist.com/dailynews/news.jsp?id=ns9999837 should make the environmentalists happy. - mig
[2001-06-11 19:49:00] - ok, well i have a general question: who wants to go see the cult+stabbing westward+monster magnet on jul 14. i kind of need answers soon because i do want to get tickets in the very near future. - mig
[2001-06-11 19:21:00] - done and done. ~a
[2001-06-11 19:05:00] - ok, i've confirmed it works thanks to josh, so mickeyj.dhs.org will work by tomorrow. so adrian can update the link to my page. - mig
[2001-06-11 19:01:00] - the whole close-circuited tv viewing of the death really got to me. it makes me cringe and think "man, this is so morbid" (but then again, i'm not in the victims shoes) -jdb
[2001-06-11 18:55:00] - i have bigger questions about "justice vs. vengeance"; on tv today, i heard lots of people saying "i think he got it easy[, he should of had to suffer" -- were they seeking justice (making him gone) or vengeance (making him suffer)? -jdb
[2001-06-11 18:48:00] - http://66.61.28.198/ can anyone check if this works? - mig
[2001-06-11 17:47:00] - i guess the main debate of it is the question of whether someone forfeits their right to live after taking away that right from someone else... - mig
[2001-06-11 17:42:00] - i feel both sides make very compelling arguments. it's very difficult for me to actually give an opinion on it. - mig
[2001-06-11 17:31:00] - Random question: What does everybody here think about the death penalty? -paul
[2001-06-11 17:01:00] - Precisely. I think there is a line past which, there simple aren't enough resources regardless of how efficiently you use them. And yes in other countries limiting yourself to 1 child might be a good solution. Here it is not. - aaron
[2001-06-11 16:51:00] - aaron: i don't think hunger is too big a problem in the us, which is why we might not be able to see the problem. russia, china, and the countries in africa might have a better perspective -dave
[2001-06-11 16:42:00] - I think past a point, the resources consumed by a person would outweigh the amount they could produce. I don't think we're near that point in the US yet. Perhaps in other places. I think it depends on the locally available resources, really - aaron
[2001-06-11 16:37:00] - By which I mean, if 5 people can pick 5 carrots a day, then perhaps 10 people can pick something like 15 carrots a day. That's my theory anyways - aaron
[2001-06-11 16:36:00] - And yes the limited resources thing is true, but I think when you have tons of people, this is a catalyst for better resource-producing/preserving technology - aaron
[2001-06-11 16:35:00] - Well if you disregard the unemployed (which is a huge stretch i admit) then everybody in the USA is providing care of some sort - aaron
[2001-06-11 16:25:00] - plus, of course, the issue of limited resources - vinnie
[2001-06-11 16:24:00] - to take care of 1 billion. i think the reason we have problems now is that we generate more people that need care than we have people who can generate care - vinnie
[2001-06-11 16:23:00] - i agree with the statement that we'd all die out or people would disregard the law, but I think there are huge benefits in the short-term to having the one child thing. you have more people who can work. that's why in a way it is easier for 1 billion
[2001-06-11 16:13:00] - Plus even when we've had 1/1000th of today's population on the earth, there has always been hunger - aaron
[2001-06-11 16:11:00] - I also find it hard to believe that 6 billion people can not provide adequate health care for 6 billion people, but that say 1 billion people could provide health care for 1 billion people - aaron
[2001-06-11 16:10:00] - http://dailynews.yahoo.com/h/nm/20010611/ts/bush_europe_dc_3.html dubya unpopular in europe, surprise surprise
[2001-06-11 16:10:00] - If (all) couples voluntarily limited themselves to one child, either the world population would die out, or we would be overrun by people who disregarded the "1-per-customer" limit - aaron
[2001-06-11 16:08:00] - xpovos: "but I have gone to my first concert ever, TMBG rocked, and the day after King's Dominion." This makes no sense. - aaron
[2001-06-11 16:00:00] - aaron: i think it makes some sense, but it's rather funny coming from a father of 5 -dave
[2001-06-11 15:52:00] - I liked "Salad of the Future" and "You can't see me I'm invisible" - aaron
[2001-06-11 15:49:00] - http://www.explodingdog.com/june7/grewapart.html
[2001-06-11 15:48:00] - "Turner, a father of five, also reiterated his belief that the world's human population could have adequate food, housing and medical care if couples voluntarily limited themselves to one child." That makes no sense, for so many reasons! - aaron
[2001-06-11 15:46:00] - eh.... i don't know who exactly to believe anymore in regards to global warming. Both sides make some outrageous claims. I wouldn't call it "fiction" though. Slightly exagerrated, yes. but ficiton, no. - mig

-paul[2001-06-11 15:38:00] - Wait, why was that directed at paul? I'm confused. I think it is delirium from too much search-and-replacing at work today! - aaron

[2001-06-11 15:37:00] - Paul: Did anybody else want to try and start a character in dragonstone tonight? Alternatively if anybody knows of a better mud, I'm up for that too but dragonstone is pretty good - aaron
[2001-06-11 15:36:00] - Paul: It's a training drill for cross-country! -- Xpovos
[2001-06-11 15:35:00] - xpovos: You don't tread on ice, you jump into the ocean with cement shoes -paul

[2001-06-11 15:34:00] - Ha! Tread = new word. "Don't tread on me". Gotta love Virginia, -- Xpovos
[2001-06-11 15:34:00] - aba: It would be kind of like warning people that are making fun of my sunglasses that I am walking towards them -paul
[2001-06-11 15:33:00] - I always tread on thin ice, how is this a new thing? -- Xpovos
[2001-06-11 15:33:00] - aaron: Ok then
-paul[2001-06-11 15:32:00] - aba: That wasn't an insult, it was a warning that they are treading on thin ice -paul
[2001-06-11 15:31:00] - I think it's perfectly ethical for certain kinds of people to get punished, and I can understand how you could consider that unfair, even if they "deserved it" from one person's perspective... Both views make sense - aaron
[2001-06-11 15:30:00] - Feh, no paul, I totally see your side of the argument. It's just you are trying to think of a global view of "unfair" whereas I am thinking of "unfair" as far as morals and ethics and such. Both definitions are fine - aaron
[2001-06-11 15:30:00] - that was uncalled for paul. am i so terrible?
- aba[2001-06-11 15:28:00] - You two better watch it, Aparna is online ya know
-paul[2001-06-11 15:28:00] - Global warming? It's not fiction. We've learned in geology... But i mean, there are other things which are much more important as far as sea level rising/falling - aaron
[2001-06-11 15:27:00] - aaron: Even with my crazy definitions of "unfair"? You don't have to lie to me, I know you don't think much of my debate technique -paul
[2001-06-11 15:27:00] - paul: no, I never wonder, I know. -- Xpovos
[2001-06-11 15:27:00] - xpovos: i'm not sure i believe it is total fiction, but i think that there is a chance it is not half as bad as people make it out to be -dave
[2001-06-11 15:26:00] - xpovos: And you wonder why people dislike you
-paul[2001-06-11 15:26:00] - paul: Far from it, You're one of the most logical, sane, um, mouth-holes I know
- aaron[2001-06-11 15:24:00] - Does anyone else here believe that gobal warming is fiction? -- Xpovos

[2001-06-11 14:38:00] - paul: i'm not so sure. if they think that of you, i'd hate to see what they thought of me. -dave
[2001-06-11 14:32:00] - dave: I think I made Josh mad me too, and Aaron probably thinks I'm a raving lunatic asshole -paul
[2001-06-11 14:16:00] - paul: correction, you've been making one person mad. it's not like everyone on the board, lol -dave

[2001-06-11 13:58:00] - vinnie: I don't know if I'll be staying back, just I'd told you (and others) that if I updated my journal over the summer I'd post it here. -- Xpovos
[2001-06-11 13:58:00] - xpovos: I know how you feel, I've been making people mad also as of late
-paul[2001-06-11 13:57:00] - dewey: how come the links at the bottom of my journal don't show up anymore? I haven't changed that part of the code for my templates. does it have something to do with the new version of your program that adrian got? - vinnie
[2001-06-11 13:56:00] - http://www.cyberspace.org/lawsuit/ horray for free speech! - mig
[2001-06-11 13:55:00] - xpovos: you're back! thank you for updating journal also - vinnie
[2001-06-11 13:54:00] - i finally learned how to fiddle with my router. - mig
[2001-06-11 13:53:00] - mickeyj.dhs.org is coming back online sometime tomorrow. - mig
[2001-06-11 13:52:00] - Xpovo? D'oh! -- Xpovos
[2001-06-11 13:52:00] - a: (Nice new feature, btw) Because I was making people unhappy by my comments here and otherwise, and while I'm not going to stop posting my journal or politcal rants (new one soon) I felt I could take them off the more public message board. -- Xpovo
[2001-06-11 13:49:00] - andrew: why? ~a
[2001-06-11 13:48:00] - dave: Sounds good -paul
[2001-06-11 13:46:00] - paul: hopefully it will get finished tonight. then we can exchange stuff -dave
[2001-06-11 13:45:00] - paul: i installed the hpna (home phoneline network adapter) cards over the weekend. i didn't have enough time to get the software part working though. -dave
[2001-06-11 13:37:00] - I originally read it in a Games Magazine but whatever, I'm sure it's everywhere by now. It's a nice riddle. I was only able to think of 3 of the 4 words - aaron
[2001-06-11 13:36:00] - Well, I've sorta been avoiding the message board lately. -- Xpovos
[2001-06-11 13:36:00] - hmm. bad syntax. ~a
[2001-06-11 13:35:00] - Well sure, you can find the answer to any known riddle easily by searching on google - aaron
[2001-06-11 13:35:00] - andrew posts after 7000 posts later!
~a[2001-06-11 13:33:00] - aaron: You can find the answer to that so easily by searching on google -paul
[2001-06-11 13:33:00] - "no, i am not going to output moo to the screen of the linux box" that's not what it does. ~a
[2001-06-11 13:33:00] - dave: I know, you've been my staunchest supporter
-paul[2001-06-11 13:30:00] - dave: I think they're sponsored by people who are opposed to the Kyoto Thing -paul
[2001-06-11 13:28:00] - If you want a real verbal riddle though, give me four (yes, commonly used) adjectives which end with "DOUS". - aaron
[2001-06-11 13:25:00] - Why, that jerk! - aaron
[2001-06-11 13:24:00] - Hungry and Angry are the only two which are used commonly... Most likely if the riddle was given to you verbally, the person will argue that they said, "ends with g or y" and will say "everyday" was the answer - aaron
[2001-06-11 13:23:00] - paul: good journal entry. i'm sorry that you've gotten so much flak. personally i thought the inflammatory comments made about your journal were unmerited -dave
[2001-06-11 13:22:00] - Sorry there's a bunch of english words which end with gry, they're just not very common - aaron
[2001-06-11 13:21:00] - paul: thx, i always needs lotsa help
-dave[2001-06-11 13:21:00] - dewey: thx, i wonder which side they would be biased towards -dave
[2001-06-11 13:18:00] - dave: looks like it is a farmers' interest group/lobbiests - dewey
[2001-06-11 13:17:00] - dewey: Yeah, but I figured Dave needed the help
-paul[2001-06-11 13:12:00] - paul: where does hearland.org come from anyway? who're they sponsored by? -dave
[2001-06-11 13:11:00] - FYI, some people were asking if I'd be updating my journal over the summer, first update in a long while now up. http://www.livejournal.com/~xpovos -- xpovos
[2001-06-11 13:11:00] - i think there could be a valid argument made for both sides. with something so big affected by so many things, i'm not sure anyone will really know till it happens -dave
[2001-06-11 13:10:00] - aaron: from the article you posted "All assessments of future sea level rise have emphasized that much of the data necessary for accurate estimates is unavailable" -dave
[2001-06-11 13:08:00] - a: oh, I didn't type it all at once. And no, I am not going to output Moo to the screen of the linux box. - dewey
[2001-06-11 13:06:00] - paul: thx for the article -dave
[2001-06-11 13:04:00] - i guess the /proc/self/cwd/ didn't work then. it isn't supposed to do that if you run the command all at once. ~a
[2001-06-11 13:03:00] - dewey: " echo moo > `tty` " is another cool command. ~a
[2001-06-11 13:02:00] - a: ok, so what can I do with this? - dewey
[2001-06-11 13:01:00] - hm, interesting. So I am thrown into this /proc/9955 directory
[2001-06-11 13:01:00] - hehehe. no.
it is a cool directory. you have do the change directory all at once for it to work though since the directory is dynamically set. ~a[2001-06-11 12:59:00] - a: I use telnet - dewey
[2001-06-11 12:59:00] - a: trying to sabotage the Mitre computers? - dewey
[2001-06-11 12:58:00] - paul: your Heartland article points out some valid issues, but you must remember that they are only presenting the facts they want to. - dewey
[2001-06-11 12:58:00] - dewey: you said you write perl all day? is it at a unix/linux station? if so, try this command " cd /proc/self/cwd/ " ~a
[2001-06-11 12:54:00] - aba: Do you think Bush should have signed the Kyoto Protocol (or pass it as law or whatever it is that he didn't do)? -paul
[2001-06-11 12:46:00] - hooray for paul! - dewey
[2001-06-11 12:44:00] - dave: http://www.heartland.org/studies/ieguide.htm -paul
[2001-06-11 12:41:00] - a: Barbara is the name of George W Bush's mother and also the name of one of his twin daughters -paul

[2001-06-11 12:34:00] - when Dad sends the answer, I will post it. Till then, It shall bug me! - dewey
[2001-06-11 12:32:00] - i've heard the riddle before but don't remember the solution. ~a
[2001-06-11 12:15:00] - anyone know the solution to the riddle? - dewey
[2001-06-11 12:15:00] - Everyone knows what the third ONE means and what it stands for. Everyone uses them everyday, and if you listened very carefully, I've given you the third word. What is it? -dewey
[2001-06-11 12:14:00] - There are three words in the English language that end in "gry". ONE is angry and the other is hungry. - dewey
[2001-06-11 12:11:00] - a: hooray, I am 5th on that list of scripts run at tj
- dewey[2001-06-11 11:59:00] - Most likely closer to the "50" end of the spectrum, so yeah, abot half a meter. Which can work out to a significant amount of land area, though, because some coastal territories are rather flat - aaron
[2001-06-11 11:56:00] - 50-200 cm over the next century, according to this site: http://www.epa.gov/globalwarming/publications/impacts/sealevel/landuse.html - aaron
[2001-06-11 11:56:00] - ok. is barbara the name of gw's mother and daughter? ~a
[2001-06-11 11:55:00] - like is it going to be 1 inch of sea lvl rise? or 3 feet or what. -dave
[2001-06-11 11:54:00] - aaron: yeah, but i want to know how much they think is going to happen. -dave
[2001-06-11 11:49:00] - Of course, that only really matters if you live on the coast. Otherwise, it's just more water for the rest of us!
- aaron[2001-06-11 11:46:00] - Global sea level rise, of course, is going to be a problem if the earth is heating up as significantly as they argue it is - aaron

[2001-06-11 11:43:00] - aba: what problems do they predict will happen in a century? -dave
[2001-06-11 11:42:00] - bush specifically asked for this study to be done to dispel any uncertainties about global warming. anyway, i really have to go. bye. - aba
[2001-06-11 11:41:00] - aba: ok, hope the paper signing goes well -dave
[2001-06-11 11:40:00] - dave: the national academy of sciences knows its shit. my mom is a climatologist so weve been talking about this a lot at home. if they predict something, its pretty likely that they are right. - aba
[2001-06-11 11:40:00] - and there are also studies that show that "global warming" isn't that big of a threat either -dave
[2001-06-11 11:39:00] - anyway, i have to go take a shower and then go sign my papers, so ill be back to chat later. bye all. - aba
[2001-06-11 11:39:00] - aba: i'm wary of predictions. true, i'm sure there are studies that show that, but there were also studies that showed that the global warming would have caused disasters by now -dave
[2001-06-11 11:37:00] - - aba
[2001-06-11 11:37:00] - dave: that just shows that bush has his priorities mixed up. considering that there are significant changes to the climate predicted in the next century if we dont reverse the trend, youd think hed really want to start cleaning things up. -

[2001-06-11 11:33:00] - aba: i don't think it's so much that he doesn't know how to curb greenhouse gases, it's more like his supporters don't want him to put more restructions on co2 emissions -dave

Ah, the perks of being a genius... - dewey[2001-06-11 10:53:00] - aaron: really?! that's so cruel! -dave
[2001-06-11 10:53:00] - the plot of swordfish was a bit more than aaron is telling (that was just a cool scene). The action scenes were great, and the tension at other times was good. - dewey
[2001-06-11 10:51:00] - dave: sorry, meant to say billion in the melting message - dewey
[2001-06-11 10:32:00] - So they have several scenes were hostages are being taken away, or falling from great heights, and then they explode! If you enjoyed "lemmings" then I think you will find great enjoyment in this movie. - aaron
[2001-06-11 10:31:00] - Swordfish was a pretty funny action movie. The plot is, there's this guy who hooks 20-pounds of explosives up to hostages, so that when they get taken a certain distance away, they explode forcefully! - aaron
[2001-06-11 10:21:00] - dewey: how was swordfish? -jdb
[2001-06-11 09:22:00] - It's got nice lyrics, about these cartoon people who aren't really in control of themselves... I think it's cute - aaron
[2001-06-11 09:02:00] - dewey: the p4 has about 42 million transistors now. they are predicting their chips to have 1 billion by 2007 -dave
[2001-06-11 08:57:00] - one million transistors... I wouldn't be surprised to see the chip melt within 30 seconds. - dewey
[2001-06-11 08:57:00] - I wonder if hardware will outrun itself? Are we headed back to computers that require liquid nitrogen to cool them? - dewey
[2001-06-11 08:47:00] - not a bad song, but I wasn't taken with it - vinnie
[2001-06-11 08:47:00] - aaron: cartoon heroes was playing 24/7 last time I was in India - vinnie
[2001-06-11 08:44:00] - oh, and for reference, there are around 42 million transistors in pentium 4s -dave
[2001-06-11 08:43:00] - do you think hardware is going to outrun software? i guess that's still 6 years away -dave
[2001-06-11 08:42:00] - intel creates smaller transistor and expects to fit 1 billion in cpus come 2007 and reach a clockspeed of 20 GHz -dave
[2001-06-11 08:23:00] - dewey: hmmm, ok. maybe i'll give him a call -dave
[2001-06-11 08:20:00] - dave: I never got a hold of travis... - dewey

-dave[2001-06-11 08:19:00] - dave: I dropped the ball on that one. sorry
- dewey[2001-06-11 08:18:00] - dewey: do everyone saw it? or are there people left who didn't? -dave
[2001-06-11 08:18:00] - Oh, and me, I went too - aaron
[2001-06-11 08:17:00] - Hmmm: Dewey, Vinnie, Me, Paul, May Matson, Lori Wagoner, "Gurkie", Erica Stewart, Adrian, Aparna, Miguel...? Is that it? - aaron
[2001-06-11 08:17:00] - dewey: yeah, i didn't hear anything from anyone
-dave[2001-06-11 08:17:00] - dewey: my family went and played mini-golph, then went and saw pearl harbor. it was my older sister's last day with us before she leaves for her summer job -dave
[2001-06-11 08:16:00] - dave: you need to remind me while I am at my house to add you to my list of phone numbers so that I make sure I call you next time. - dewey
[2001-06-11 08:15:00] - dave: yeah, we saw swordfish. where were you?

[2001-06-11 08:12:00] - Yes, I saw Swordfish. Oh, and this aqua song called Cartoon Heroes is a really nice song. I think I'm going to buy an album of theirs. - aaron
[2001-06-11 08:08:00] - dewey: did you all go see swordfish? -dave
