[2001-09-10 18:55:00] - Since we're speaking of justice, perhaps you should define for me what justice is (or, as an alternative, how a system of justice should be chosen, what makes it the "right" choice). -logan
[2001-09-10 18:53:00] - So I'm saying that the concept of equality does not compute for me. -logan
[2001-09-10 18:53:00] - If you're speaking of inequality as applying to human beings, then your hypothetical would only make sense at all if there was exactly one human being in existence.
-logan[2001-09-10 18:44:00] - That's like asking what would happen if all numbers were equal to each other. -logan

[2001-09-10 13:34:00] - No, but religiously pointing out necessary inequalities and then treating those that happen to be better off, through no fault of their own, as having less moral value is. -logan

[2001-09-06 22:37:00] - apple managed to dumb down unix enough to start producing their own version, though i believe it still doesn't ship with anything but the servers - wolf
[2001-09-06 21:59:00] - *nix still has a ways to go til it's "easy" to use, still has a ways to go to support everything easily, and thus is not a large factor in the home PC market -cryptic
[2001-09-06 21:58:00] - You may boycott it, you may not have even thought of buying it... but the average user will have it on their prefab OEM machine and won't know how to select differently -Cryptic
[2001-09-06 21:57:00] - me again -Cryptic
[2001-09-06 21:57:00] - Would people use AOL if it wasn't easy? If they didnt' give those free cds away, then make it a hastle to quit? Sure, some still would, but far less
[2001-09-06 21:56:00] - eerrr... that was me -Cryptic
[2001-09-06 21:56:00] - they are targetting the average user.... it will run on their machine, they will have something easy to use, they will use it... hence the whole AOL thing...
[2001-09-06 21:52:00] - oh wait, forget about .net and passport. hopefully everyone else will catch on that it's not a good idea and just ignore them. - mig
[2001-09-06 21:50:00] - and xp has been getting a ton of bad press, so that's a distinct possiblity. - mig
[2001-09-06 21:48:00] - if xp bombs, it will be the beginning of the end for microsoft. - mig
[2001-09-06 21:34:00] - once *nix understands the average user, THEN it can become a major force/sector of the operating systems on people's machines -Cryptic
[2001-09-06 20:48:00] - "simple and stable"... heh... you should have been around for the atrocity that was debian installed on my machine
- wolf[2001-09-06 20:43:00] - Not just servers, but PCs too. --Xpovos
[2001-09-06 20:28:00] - Well, that's obvious (if not true already
). Diversity is natural. -logan[2001-09-06 20:22:00] - By overthrow I mean a majority (or at least plurality) of machines will be running Linux. -- Xpovos
[2001-09-06 20:19:00] - I don't think there's any real position to overthrow. There's plenty of room for both. -logan
[2001-09-06 20:19:00] - Once people understand the concepts of free, simple, and stable, it'll be all over. -- Xpovos
[2001-09-06 20:18:00] - Hmm, that was me -- Xpovos
[2001-09-06 20:18:00] - No, Microsoft's position is secure for a good long time, even with the fed breathing down their neck. But I do think they will eventually be overthrown by some vairent of Linux.
[2001-09-06 20:17:00] - Well, I can't argue against that, there's a helluva lot of ignorance in this world. -- Xpovos
[2001-09-06 20:15:00] - Or do you think Microsoft will go out of business soon, now that computers are so popular?
-logan[2001-09-06 20:15:00] - There are always new users. And many of them will be repeat buyers, simply out of ignorance. -logan
[2001-09-06 20:14:00] - Lack of functionality doesn't make for repeat buyers. Eventually you run out of new users. -- Xpovos
[2001-09-06 20:13:00] - Functionality doesn't sell computers to new users.
-logan[2001-09-06 20:12:00] - Screw apperances and looking nicer, how about some functionality. -- Xpovos
[2001-09-06 20:12:00] - Default error messages on most web servers are very non-helpful while being highly technical, and there are a lot of users that can't distinguish between remote errors and local errors. -logan
[2001-09-06 20:11:00] - Well, MS has never seemed very good at HCI, in my opinion. They tend to make things more annoying and confusing than helpful. But it does seem like they're merely trying to make web browsing look "nicer." -logan
[2001-09-06 20:11:00] - logan: smart choice of words there, civil unions are a bad idea in the first place. I think the whole gay-marriage thing could easily be ended by eliminating civil marriages. That would also solve the "marriage penalty" tax as well. -- Xpovos
[2001-09-06 20:11:00] - Some people want to have their cake and eat it too. -logan
[2001-09-06 20:10:00] - And the new IE search "feature" is indeed annoying, particularly if you just make a simple typo and it completely erases your entire URL. -- Xpovos
[2001-09-06 20:09:00] - I don't understand the whole marriage dispute -- either marriage is a "sacred" thing, in which case it deserves no legal definition, or it's a legal allowance for the costs of supporting a family, in which case any sort of family should be eligible. -logan
[2001-09-06 20:08:00] - I agree, Virginia Tech is not conservative, the students, and particularly the teachers here see things through much more liberal eyes. That's why your survey was slightly skewed to the liberal position. -- Xpovos
[2001-09-06 20:01:00] - I like how every little thing Microsoft does is seen through highly paranoid eyes. -logan
[2001-09-06 19:59:00] - BTW, this week's Onion is great! http://www.theonion.com/onion3731/god_gives_shout-out.html -logan
[2001-09-06 19:58:00] - By any meaning of the word. -logan
[2001-09-06 19:57:00] - I don't consider Virginia Tech conservative at all. -logan
[2001-09-06 19:04:00] - http://aporter.dhs.org/soc2014.html . . . interesting survey on homosexuality my sociology 2014 class took. ~a
[2001-09-06 18:05:00] - ok, i'll hold off. -jdb
[2001-09-06 17:51:00] - i hope so. i will not have eaten dinner by then. - aba

[2001-09-06 17:41:00] - aba: the only problem i have with that feature is that i can't configure an alternative search engine. it's actually quite helpful. -jdb
[2001-09-06 17:40:00] - bleh, netscape is the worst!
[2001-09-06 17:40:00] - http://dailynews.yahoo.com/htx/nm/20010906/od/meters_dc_1.html
-jdb[2001-09-06 17:40:00] - yet another reason why ie sucks more ass than netscape. - aba
[2001-09-06 17:39:00] - http://www.msnbc.com/news/624486.asp?0dm=C12MT&cp1=1 this is supposed to be a "feature"???? - aba
[2001-09-06 16:50:00] - on the other hand, they very well just might make a song that both artistic and market value
- wolf[2001-09-06 16:49:00] - this, on the other hands, seems too prefabricated to be meaningful. - wolf
[2001-09-06 16:47:00] - unfortunately, it seems as though all of this "artists from really different genres get together and make music" thing is just a marketing scheme. i like the idea of two people who do things differently combining their talents to come up with something really different and interesting. - wolf
[2001-09-06 14:53:00] - the goal shouldn't be to "make a hit record"... it should be to express yourself through music, something I venture to say sean diddy puffy has never done - boing
[2001-09-06 12:04:00] - http://www.antimusic.com/news/2001/sep/item5.shtml NOOOOOOOO!!!!! - mig
[2001-09-06 10:58:00] - i want to be satan's friend. - mig

[2001-09-06 02:48:00] - satan is my friend! he tells me that he can be your's too. ~a
[2001-09-05 22:47:00] - Dub I Dub I Dub I Dub Dub Dub ~a
[2001-09-05 22:36:00] - it might just be my opinion, but i can think of many examples that support it. - mig
[2001-09-05 22:34:00] - logan not thinking that im cute does not end my world.
- aba[2001-09-05 21:48:00] - I find it apalling that all these rules and regulations have been thrust upon an infrastructure whose true purpose was just to map symbolic names to IPs -- and most people accepted it. -logan
[2001-09-05 21:46:00] - logan: i'm hoping that domain names will become pretty invisible someday, with the advent of the "semantic web" and such... -jdb
[2001-09-05 21:46:00] - No democrat phobia, I just dislike their politics. -logan
[2001-09-05 21:45:00] - mig: it's just your opinion taht they are "enslaving" and "mind-numbing"... -jdb
[2001-09-05 21:45:00] - DNS never should have been used as a directory service. -logan
[2001-09-05 21:44:00] - Why anyone thinks there should be a right to any particular domain name that someone else has already bought and set up, I will never know. -logan
[2001-09-05 21:42:00] - what's with the democrat-phobia, anyway? - mig
[2001-09-05 21:36:00] - yeah, i suppose. i never really could understand why people are so fervent about such an enslaving, mind-numbing institutions. guess i just will never understand. - mig
[2001-09-05 21:27:00] - http://www.collegiatetimes.com/local/headlines/viewHeadlines.asp?cityID=12858&headlineID=527 just great, now the un is enforcing "trademarked" domains internationally. and i thought our enforcement here was bad. - mig
[2001-09-05 21:27:00] - logan: democrat girlies are cute! *winks at aparna* -jdb
[2001-09-05 21:24:00] - jdb: Yeah, but were they democrat girlies? *shudder* -logan
[2001-09-05 21:19:00] - mig: religion. -jdb
