[2001-10-11 09:27:00] - I'm sure it works best for you, as for starcraft, it runs some version less than the latest, and since I prefer to play online, I need to run the latest.... until a *nix can run everything I use/play, I see no benefit to it -cryptic

[2001-10-11 09:19:00] - (and it does run starcraft, and octave works well for replacing matlab (and is there a unix version?  there is one for mathematica...), and LaTeX is so much better than word) -logan

[2001-10-08 23:10:00] - though i have to admit, i'm surprised at the low civilian casaulty #s.  the taliban say it was 20, assuming they're telling the truth. - mig

[2001-10-08 22:51:00] - errr.... I should just come mention it to you personally -cryptic

[2001-10-08 22:39:00] - I'm glad our right to privacy (although how private we really are is quite questionable) isn't infringed... oh wait, nevermind, the fbi is 'offering' or 'asking' (and getting acceptance) for isps to install spyware to track everything we do -cryptic

[2001-10-08 22:36:00] - I'm glad we live in a country where we're allowed to think like this, talk like this, question actions like this..... and not worry about the government looking at our email, where we go, what we look at..... -cryptic

[2001-10-08 22:32:00] - I think your 'fucked up situation' sums up the whole concept of what's going on -cryptic

[2001-10-08 22:28:00] - this is not a war on terrorism, this is not a war on islam, it's 2 people who shouldn't be in power flexing their muscles -cryptic

[2001-10-08 22:26:00] - correction: anyone/most

[2001-10-08 22:26:00] - ugh.  the situation is just so fucked up.  the leaders of both sides are full of shit, and the civilians on both sides are caught in the middle. - mig

[2001-10-08 22:23:00] - get the food?.... didn't the taliban target similar structures here in the US? 'military' and 'those important to (what they viewed) a war effort' -cryptic

[2001-10-08 22:22:00] - Step 1: prove who's responsible (skipped)... step 2: attack those responsible (taken as: attack afghanistan)... I know they are 'dropping food to the afghani people' and 'bombing military instalations'.... but who is really getting the food? do they think the taliban is letting the people -cryptic

[2001-10-08 22:19:00] - ? -cryptic

[2001-10-08 22:19:00] - you mean 'our' acts ('god bless america') are similar to bin ladin's acts ("in the name of the holy war")

[2001-10-08 22:15:00] - bush is just pissed because some americans realize that not all afghanistans are terrorists, and that we are essentially responding to acts of terrorism with terrorism. - wolf

[2001-10-08 22:10:00] - yeah, i would also find it easier just to sit in one place all day asking people to fill out surveys by enticing them with free stuff. - mig

[2001-10-08 22:05:00] - i share the sentiments.  i haven't been hearing the media say anything that would be especially useful to the "enemy" - mig

[2001-10-08 21:57:00] - i'm doubtful -cryptic

[2001-10-08 21:57:00] - I understand plugging anything that may put military lives in danger.... since saying "plane X will be over place Y at time Z" == 1 shot down plane.... but I doubtful that's the only thing being 'kept from us' -cryptic

[2001-10-08 21:56:00] - "An angry Bush trying to plug leaks to media"... we wouldn't want americans knowing what the government is doing... would we? -cryptic

[2001-10-08 21:55:00] - what about the people who miss class because they were drunk/having a hangover? what about the people that only had late/early classes? chances are the sample was not very diverse.... -cryptic

[2001-10-08 21:54:00] - targetting one area == easier than getting a random sample.... -cryptic

[2001-10-08 21:53:00] - why would they survey random people all around campus?  I think the scenarios wolf said are more likely -cryptic

[2001-10-08 21:51:00] - I don't buy cds now.... unlikely that I will buy cds because of any changes they make.... -cryptic

[2001-10-08 21:10:00] - "Once consumers can no longer get free music, they will have to buy the music in the formats we choose to put out."  yipee-yai-fucking-yay. - mig

[2001-10-08 21:09:00] - "privacy laws are our biggest impediment to us obtaining our objectives".

[2001-10-08 21:08:00] - "Because of the magnitude of the problem, ISPs can no longer be shielded from the wrath of the law," why of course.  people are buying more cds than ever!  we must stop this! - mig

[2001-10-08 21:08:00] - http://www.theregister.co.uk/content/6/22087.html there are some really scary quotes in here. - mig

[2001-10-08 20:58:00] - and i thought lithium batteries were really good at being recharged.  these lithum batteries say "do not recharge" in fine print.  >:o  ~a

[2001-10-08 20:56:00] - why would a company make a special "battery pack" that wasn't rechargable?  if people want non-rechargable batteries, they'll buy regular (aa,aaa,c,d,etc) batteries.  ~a

[2001-10-08 20:54:00] - katie, it may have been a random sample of vt students.  maybe the surveyed people all around campus during different parts of the day.  ~a

[2001-10-08 20:49:00] - http://www.cnn.com/2001/US/10/08/ret.bush.secrecy/index.html what are you talking about?  we've always been at war with oceania - mig

[2001-10-08 20:38:00] - did they survey people in owens? that cuts out the vast majority of off-campus students. - wolf

[2001-10-08 20:38:00] - who did they survey?  people in squires? most of the people who spend a lot of time in squires are music students, or people attending large, general classes in squires colonial. - wolf

[2001-10-08 20:36:00] - that survey sampled less than roughly 4% of the students at tech. - wolf

[2001-10-08 20:21:00] - ugh.  nm.  times != drinks. - mig

[2001-10-08 20:17:00] - that's must have been an amazing survey they did. - mig

[2001-10-08 20:15:00] - if 77% have "2 or fewer drinks/week", and they are a subset of "8 or fewer drinks/week", therefore the set of people who "drink 8 or fewer/week" would have to be >= 77%. - mig

[2001-10-08 20:13:00] - stat #3 contradicts stat #2 - mig

[2001-10-08 19:42:00] - heh....  I liked the one last year... they didnt try as hard, and thus the true results of drinking showed through -cryptic

[2001-10-08 19:35:00] - I mean "3% of students don't drive wasted".... -cryptic

[2001-10-08 19:34:00] - I assumed they were to pressure people into drinking.... sure all the words said "X% don't do...." but the reverse was usually more popular... or atleast more common than one may initially guess -cryptic

[2001-10-08 19:29:00] - either way, i don't feel safe crossing the street on a friday night. - wolf

[2001-10-08 19:29:00] - wolf:  well, that's agism for you. - mig

[2001-10-08 19:28:00] - i don't think this year's posters have the drunk driving stats on them... last year, it said something along the lines of "most vt students (63%) do not drive after having more than 3 drinks" - wolf

[2001-10-08 19:27:00] - i could never figure out whether they were trying to pressure or shame students into not drinking - wolf

[2001-10-08 19:26:00] - i love those "public service announcements" - wolf

[2001-10-08 19:12:00] - almost half of the students miss class because of drinking.  ~a

[2001-10-08 18:41:00] - relatively speaking, i've observed that more than half the people i've come into contact with here at tech have been fucking morons. - wolf

[2001-10-08 18:39:00] - perhaps they weren't well-educated, liberally minded people. - wolf

[2001-10-08 18:37:00] - I presented an alternative to the attacks in my political science class this afternoon and was practically assaulted.  Even among well-educated liberally minded people attacks are wanted. -- Xpovos

[2001-10-08 16:58:00] - i agree 100%. - wolf

[2001-10-08 16:58:00] - "Anybody would condemn this attack, not because it's coming from America or because it's against Muslims and a Muslim country -- but because it was done outside the framework of international law and because America didn't present a convincing proof against those it accuses of terrorism."

[2001-10-08 13:13:00] - i don't believe it... how many times am I going to have keller?  I dropped OS whis semester, I guess that means I have him for at least one more class...  - boing

[2001-10-08 10:21:00] - logan:  if you go to the study linked off of those statistics, they appear to have run some regressions on other data as well (ie income, etc).  http://www2000.ogsm.vanderbilt.edu/papers/race/science.html  -  aba

[2001-10-07 23:19:00] - Seems like a lot of people do that with statistics. -logan

[2001-10-07 23:19:00] - I like how on their web page they present statistics as indicator of a problem without examining the factors involved (though I suppose maybe it was an invitation to learn about the factors). -logan

[2001-10-07 23:03:00] - dr. cornel west and rev. sekou will be speaking on Thursday, October 18 @ 8pm in Donaldson Brown Auditorium. more info at http://www.bsavt.org/ -jdb

[2001-10-07 21:04:00] - Ah, I guess it did manage to survive the queue. http://www.kuro5hin.org/story/2001/10/5/121352/380 -logan

[2001-10-07 20:58:00] - But such simple and incorrect models are the hallmark of environmentalists like that particular webmaster. :P -logan

[2001-10-07 20:58:00] - Kind of disregards the fact that energy is consumed to push those electrons, some computers are harmful to dispose of, etc. -logan

[2001-10-07 20:57:00] - I like how the home page of the person that posted that speaks of the internet allowing one to save the environment by not traveling places and not consuming paper. -logan

[2001-10-07 20:54:00] - So I find that table largely uninteresting. :P -logan

[2001-10-07 20:54:00] - The gnp of a country and the income of a corporation are incomparable. -logan

[2001-10-07 20:54:00] - It was largely denounced because of its source (some radical leftist magazine, I think) and, most particularly, its terrible economics. -logan

[2001-10-07 20:53:00] - Second of all, an article discussing a table exactly like that one (only up to date) appeared in the kuro5hin moderation queue recently. -logan

[2001-10-07 20:53:00] - First of all, given that URL, that information itself is suspect. -logan

[2001-10-07 18:03:00] - Might as well have a "war on war." -logan

[2001-10-07 17:55:00] - i don't know why they are using the term "war".  terrorism isn't a nation.  it's a school of thought.  you can't combat thought. - mig

[2001-10-07 17:53:00] - and given this "war on terrorism" increases the likelihood for people to commit acts of terror, it seems rather counterproductive. - mig

[2001-10-07 17:44:00] - How can you wage war against a tactic? -logan

[2001-10-07 17:40:00] - mig: very difficult question. i certainly don't think this is a war against islam; this is a war against terrorism. but the whole idea of a "war against terrorism" has incredibly lofty goals and some pretty scary side effects. -jdb

[2001-10-07 15:56:00] - so, where is this "21st century piratical bazaar"?  i wanna go! - mig

[2001-10-07 15:35:00] - of course, which statement is more loaded:  the u.s. saying this is a "war on terrorism" or bin laden claiming it's a "war against islam"? - mig

[2001-10-07 15:17:00] - definitely no disagreement. - mig

[2001-10-07 15:04:00] - logan: no disagreement there. -jdb

[2001-10-07 13:17:00] - I was reading incredibly gruesome stuff before I was even in high school. :P -logan

[2001-10-07 12:36:00] - would it be so wrong if i admitted that violence in books had me totally desensitized to anything even remotely violent by the time i was 14? - wolf

[2001-10-06 12:03:00] - ah, mtv, the great hypocrite.  they were doing a special on how discrimation is bad, but when they were displaying the names of kids they were talking to  they would be adding labels to their names, like "chris, 25, punk." - mig

[2001-10-06 11:04:00] - ... the author means courtney tried before unsuccessfully... this last attempt succeeded.... "the first one to succeed" does not mean that it is necessarily possible to succeed again, just that the previous attempts were not successful. -cryptic
