[2001-09-25 00:45:00] - he could have meant grow as in "mature", rather than get larger. - mig

[2001-09-25 00:43:00] - "grow" is the spin word so it doesn't sound so bad. - mig

[2001-09-25 00:40:00] - I don't want my laws to grow!  How is that different from expansion? -logan

[2001-09-24 20:25:00] - It's not the primary way tech "makes its money."  There is some sort of fund that is student invested, however. -logan

[2001-09-24 19:25:00] - hmm... i've never heard that before. -jdb

[2001-09-24 19:24:00] - someone said that the primary way tech makes its money is by investing tuition/etc in stocks.  can anyone confirm this? - wolf

[2001-09-24 18:21:00] - Hmm, Redpath comes off as a "weak" libertarian in some areas, but overall he seems reasonable. -logan

[2001-09-24 11:19:00] - i'm just wondering what's going to happen when the government starts rooting out "terrorists" among its own citizens. - mig

[2001-09-24 11:17:00] - logan:  not really.  it essentially is the war on drugs.  they're using the same tactics, same fud, same bullying.  just in a different location. - mig

[2001-09-24 10:46:00] - (I guess it will continue for as long as we allow ourselves to be governed by a government that does not represent our interests) -logan

[2001-09-24 10:23:00] - I wonder how long this cycle will continue. -logan

[2001-09-24 10:22:00] - Oh god, not more of the same.  We're just going to lose more civil rights while entangling ourselves further in messy and dangerous international politics, while continuing to bully everyone around. -logan

[2001-09-24 10:21:00] - The war on terrorism could be likened, they said, to the war on drugs or poverty... -logan

[2001-09-22 22:46:00] - hmmm... i wouldn't call debian "spoiling." package management is pretty slick though! :-D -jdb

[2001-09-22 22:21:00] - i'd hate to think what the rest of it is like. :-/  -kris

[2001-09-22 22:20:00] - mrm... debian is spoiling me? -kris

[2001-09-22 21:51:00] - http://csmonitor.com/slideshows/lifeinkabul/slide1.html <-- and i imagined kabul being somewhat urban -jdb

[2001-09-22 21:02:00] - logan: looking closer... thomas.loc.gov missed H.R.2889, S.1435, H.R.2909, H.R. 2915 and who knows what else. <-- those are important ones for a libertarian-type. -jdb

[2001-09-22 19:19:00] - I just don't like seeing really poor efforts passed off as good work. :P -logan

[2001-09-22 19:18:00] - Looks like somebody just copied the LOC page, and then added a few poor editorial comments above (not that I disagree with their sentiment). -logan

[2001-09-22 19:17:00] - the entire point was to show, like i said, what congress has been up to since sept11. anyways, it doesn't really matter. -jdb

[2001-09-22 19:16:00] - they were repeated on purpose. didn't you notice the categories? -jdb

[2001-09-22 19:14:00] - So the monkeyfirst article is also a little misleading. -logan

[2001-09-22 19:14:00] - Looks the same to me (the monkeyfist article repeats a few bills).  The monkeyfist article is poor because it repeats bills and it does not provide any more information than the Library of Congress does (in fact, the LOC also mentions which bills haven't hit the floor yet). -logan

[2001-09-22 19:07:00] - the monkeyfist one actually listed more items. so how is it a "very poor article"? -jdb

[2001-09-22 19:02:00] - jdb: That was a very poor article.  http://thomas.loc.gov/home/terrorleg.htm is a much better source. -logan

[2001-09-22 17:43:00] - what congress has been up to since sept11 http://www.monkeyfist.com/articles/783 -jdb

[2001-09-22 17:24:00] - http://www.lego.com/studios/screening/movie.asp?opt=qtl this is awesome. - mig

[2001-09-22 11:57:00] - a: yeah right. - dewey

[2001-09-22 08:17:00] - haha! ###/pics/download/62.gif

[2001-09-22 08:04:00] - man, waking up at 7 in the morning to program is fun!  ~a

[2001-09-22 07:36:00] - it depends on the installation.  mandrake installed gcc for me by default.  which type of install did you do?  ~a

[2001-09-22 00:44:00] - You should try debian, if you want to be spoiled. -logan

[2001-09-22 00:44:00] - <sigh> i guess red hat spoiled me.... - mig

[2001-09-22 00:41:00] - jdb: I liked it.  It seemed well-balanced and was informative. -logan

[2001-09-22 00:13:00] - um, if you install the dev packages, you get the tools. by default, these packages are not selected. so why is this "sloppy, sloppy"? it's on purpose! -jdb

[2001-09-22 00:05:00] - jdb:  actually i did configure it right.  it's just something i noticed - mig

[2001-09-22 00:03:00] - mig: but in a corp environment, individual users generally aren't installign applications. those could be deployed centrally. -jdb

[2001-09-22 00:03:00] - bill mahrer on jay leno tonight. -jdb

[2001-09-21 23:46:00] - not everything comes in binaries, though. - mig

[2001-09-21 23:40:00] - well, i'd argue said corp type environ doesn't really exist :-P -jdb

[2001-09-21 23:40:00] - mandrake figures that most people in a corp type environ won't need gcc (which is true). -jdb

[2001-09-21 23:39:00] - that's not sloppy, you just didn't configure it right! ;-) -jdb

[2001-09-21 23:30:00] - hmm... mandrake doesnt install gcc by default.... sloppy, sloppy. - mig

[2001-09-21 23:06:00] - mig: if killing an animal is viewed as violence, then by going vegetarian, one would kill less animals... so, less violence. -jdb

[2001-09-21 23:05:00] - heh, most anarchists don't like the caplan faq :-P -jdb

[2001-09-21 22:56:00] - how does going vegetarian decrease violence?  - mig

[2001-09-21 20:34:00] - A really good FAQ covering all sorts of anarchism! http://www.gmu.edu/departments/economics/bcaplan/anarfaq.htm -logan

[2001-09-21 20:27:00] - mig: from what i could read, they were simply disagreeing for the sake of disagreeing. - wolf

[2001-09-21 19:54:00] - Interesting note on the possible origins of the phrase "laissez faire," too. -logan

[2001-09-21 19:50:00] - Interesting -- http://www.daft.com/~rab/liberty/history/ -logan

[2001-09-21 19:47:00] - nope, that's for real! certainly not the sort of pr i'd be doing if i were a vegan trying to do some "outreach." -jdb

[2001-09-21 19:47:00] - END ABORTION!  Go vegetarian. -logan

[2001-09-21 19:46:00] - Heh, is this a parody site? -logan

[2001-09-21 19:45:00] - http://www.veganoutreach.org/images/enoughviolence.jpg

[2001-09-21 19:41:00] - logan: in the 1800s, well before  modern day libertarians started using the term (1970s), it was used by anarchist movements (and not [just] anarcho-capitalists, the more communistic type stuff too) -jdb

[2001-09-21 19:40:00] - I don't care.  The University has no information about me that I consider private. -logan

[2001-09-21 19:39:00] - no privacy for us college kiddies http://chronicle.com/free/2001/09/2001092101n.htm -jdb

[2001-09-21 19:39:00] - jdb: What did libertarian used to mean? -logan

[2001-09-21 19:38:00] - http://mises.org/fullstory.asp?control=784&FS=Free+Markets+Would+Be+OPEC%27s+Undoing -logan

[2001-09-21 19:36:00] - same thing with the word "libertarian"... quite different meaning today. -jdb

[2001-09-21 19:32:00] - That's why some people call themselves "classical liberals." -logan

[2001-09-21 19:32:00] - Well, at one time liberal meant some of what "conservative" means today.  Now liberal is used to mean quite the opposite. -logan

[2001-09-21 19:10:00] - hey, my parents are from bolivia.  i would care. - mig

[2001-09-21 19:07:00] - conservative?  liberal?  both mean the same to me... - mig

[2001-09-21 19:04:00] - But the only response I got was that capitalists "exploit" people. :P -logan

[2001-09-21 19:04:00] - mig: I was trying to point out that people expect corporations to be risk-averse, yet at the same time feel that they are capable of doing quite evil things, yet to do so would definitely not be risk-averse. -logan

[2001-09-21 19:03:00] - Dinner for me too. -logan

[2001-09-21 19:02:00] - hmmm... i don't even know what you guys were arguing about.... - mig

[2001-09-21 19:01:00] - mmmmmm.... urine - mig

[2001-09-21 18:58:00] - urine. - wolf

[2001-09-21 18:58:00] - ignorant piss, I'm going to eat dinner now -cryptic

[2001-09-21 18:57:00] - i am not pissed off that my lack of pissed off-ness pisses you off. :P  - wolf

[2001-09-21 18:57:00] - you can't argue with fools, so i don't. - wolf

[2001-09-21 18:57:00] - cryptic: Yes, and you know why?  No evil has been done. -logan

[2001-09-21 18:56:00] - wolf: That really pisses me off. -logan

[2001-09-21 18:56:00] - I'm glad my feet don't stink. -cryptic

[2001-09-21 18:56:00] - this subject: is pointless.  everyone is talking about different things.  it's argument for the sake of hearing your metaphorical voices heard. - wolf

[2001-09-21 18:55:00] - people would get pissed about the newspaper picture of the phallus, but if the paper was made by 10 year olds in china working 16 hour days for $0.10 a day, they wouldnt think much of it -cryptic

[2001-09-21 18:55:00] - .... nothing at all currently pisses me off. hooray. - wolf

[2001-09-21 18:55:00] - you know what pisses me off?  - wolf

[2001-09-21 18:54:00] - Ok, now what does killing "100 innocents in Bolivia" have to do with capitalism? -logan

[2001-09-21 18:54:00] - I like this subject. :P -logan

[2001-09-21 18:54:00] - killing an innocent person(evil act) on national television and replaying it on every station, compared to killing 100 innocents in bolivia.... chances are people would be pissed about my first act while my second far worse act wouldn't be known -cryptic

[2001-09-21 18:53:00] - in case it wasn't readily apparent, i'm trying to change the subject here. - wolf

[2001-09-21 18:52:00] - my japanese teacher's ass accidentally touched me.  then i thought it would be funny if someone had jerked off to the president's address last night.  that's how i got the idea. - wolf

[2001-09-21 18:50:00] - cryptic: Give me an example. -logan

[2001-09-21 18:50:00] - my cat had some string stuck up her butt once. - wolf

[2001-09-21 18:50:00] - wolf: Well, since the current one is an ass, you just have to succeed at touching him at all. :P -logan

[2001-09-21 18:49:00] - there is a difference from doing something people disapprove of and consider evil in front of their face and doing something people consider evil without them seeing it daily or directly -cryptic

[2001-09-21 18:49:00] - I don't believe anyone can avoid ever doing something wrong, but it surely isn't standard operating procedure for the risk-averse. -logan

[2001-09-21 18:49:00] - there is much enjoyment in the flying of kites. - wolf

[2001-09-21 18:49:00] - i've made it my life's goal to touch a president's butt before i die. - wolf

[2001-09-21 18:48:00] - Then it is the dumb ones that are evil. :P -logan

[2001-09-21 18:48:00] - i like rice and peppers. - wolf

[2001-09-21 18:48:00] - americans are dumb.... duh? -cryptic

[2001-09-21 18:48:00] - la de da. - wolf

[2001-09-21 18:47:00] - being conventional != being one who commits no evils -cryptic

[2001-09-21 18:47:00] - Having your customers dislike you is extremely risky.  Surely you have enough business sense to realize this. If corporations could so blithely ignore what customers like, why can't a newspaper publish phallic-looking trees? -logan

[2001-09-21 18:47:00] - so... how about those ponies and hamsters? - wolf

[2001-09-21 18:46:00] - I try to avoid "liberal" and "conservative" because they've been used in so many ways... a liberal used to be what today is called a conservative. -logan

[2001-09-21 18:46:00] - actually... people dislike coporations for doing evil (which is not inherently risky)... while in the case of the newspaper, they were pointing out that the newspaper was not being "risky" by showing a picture of a phallus -cryptic

[2001-09-21 18:45:00] - 5. conservative (adj.) - unimaginatively conventional -logan

[2001-09-21 18:44:00] - The political sense of the word made no sense in the context in which I used it. -logan

[2001-09-21 18:44:00] - doing evil is not necessarily risky -cryptic

[2001-09-21 18:44:00] - Words can have multiple meanings. -logan

[2001-09-21 18:44:00] - So to rephrase what I said earlier: people often mock corporations for risk-averse behavior.  Yet at the same time they also accuse these same corporations of a tendency to act in very risky ways. -logan

[2001-09-21 18:44:00] - actually... since everyone seems to use it differently than your definition... I guess then definition has changed... words do that you know -cryptic

[2001-09-21 18:43:00] - But the sense I used it in earlier was to mean avoiding risks.  Doing evil is risky.  Not doing evil isn't. -logan

[2001-09-21 18:43:00] - being too conservative does not mean you will necessarily be less likely to commit an evil act, or do something evil, or be evil than anyone else. -cryptic

[2001-09-21 18:43:00] - Because everyone seems to forget that it simply means (politically) a preference for fewer laws and more strict adherence to the constitution. -logan

[2001-09-21 18:42:00] - I did mean what I said.  You just applied a different meaning to a word I used than I meant.  And I rarely use conservative in a political context, because I don't like that usage. -logan

[2001-09-21 18:41:00] - through over simplification of ideas and concepts in the past, I assume you mean what you say... if you mean something else... maybe you should clearify -cryptic

[2001-09-21 18:40:00] - Done?  You never started.  You simply said "People exploit people!  That's bad!"  I don't know what your point is until you tell me what exactly about it makes it bad. -logan

[2001-09-21 18:39:00] - maybe you should address what I say instead of writting crap that doesnt address my point. I'm done with this argument. -cryptic

[2001-09-21 18:39:00] - And by conservative I meant not taking risks, not the political label.  I thought it was obvious from the context. -logan

[2001-09-20 17:15:00] - i'm sure mig is right about why they chose not to include a picture (backlash). -jdb

[2001-09-20 17:12:00] - so i don't think it is bad that wuvt chooses not to allow it's DJs to curse on the air. i think it's bad that the sign on the wall in the studio says you can be fined 5-digits if you curse, because the FCC says so. -jdb

[2001-09-20 17:11:00] - yes, "censorship" in terms of media is a pretty complicated. a newspaper should be able to print whatever they want or don't want to and not have it called censorship (like that horowitz ad thing). -jdb

[2001-09-20 17:03:00] - I think it's funny that you think of corporations as capable of any sort of evil, yet at the same time complain about how they tend to be too conservative. :P -logan

[2001-09-20 12:40:00] - logan: i agree... it's scary to see so many politicians tossing aside their values just to show unity.  you can have overall unity (we always have had that) and still be willing to tell bush he's full of himself. -jdb
