[2000-07-28 14:08:00] - yes, but that doesn't mean that they will succeed in challenging them. and that's really what matters. - aba
[2000-07-28 14:08:00] - what i mean is that you can find it in best buy and stuff like that, and businesses are starting to use it -paul
[2000-07-28 14:07:00] - fuck
[2000-07-28 14:07:00] - linux hasn't gone mainstream -adrian
[2000-07-28 14:07:00] - once people get fed up with a monopoly, another company will rise to challenge them -paul
[2000-07-28 14:07:00] - linux is far from mainstream - aba
[2000-07-28 14:07:00] - mmm
[2000-07-28 14:07:00] - the fact that linux has gone so mainstream is a sign that microsoft's monopoly was ending -paul
[2000-07-28 14:06:00] - not necessarily.
- aba[2000-07-28 14:06:00] - when people starting getting disgruntled with intel, amd came out of nowhere and ended their monopoly (if you think they had one) -paul
[2000-07-28 14:05:00] - When monopolies start lasting too long is when competition comes up -paul
[2000-07-28 14:04:00] - hehe. the problem is that monopolies might alst too long. nobody says that they last forever. - aba
[2000-07-28 14:02:00] - and you're starting to sounds like a libertarian...
-paul[2000-07-28 14:02:00] - I am saying they don't last -paul
[2000-07-28 14:02:00] - I don't argue that monopolies are bad
[2000-07-28 14:00:00] - which is fine with me. - aba
[2000-07-28 14:00:00] - that's why we don't live in a true democracy. - aba
[2000-07-28 14:00:00] - just because 60% of the people think something is good doesn't mean it is right for the other 40%. - aba
[2000-07-28 13:59:00] - monopolies are bad because they take away from the power of the consumer to choose. - aba
[2000-07-28 13:59:00] - Just look at Intel and AMD... -paul
[2000-07-28 13:58:00] - transmit on. - aba
[2000-07-28 13:58:00] - no, paul, you're wrong. there are all sorts of laws regulating the manufacturing of computers. ie what frequencies the electronics are allowed to
[2000-07-28 13:58:00] - I just find it ironic that our government punishes those that excel in our society -paul
[2000-07-28 13:58:00] - and even if the challenge fails, it still is good for the people -paul
[2000-07-28 13:57:00] - whenever a monopoly occurs in a truly capitalistic society, it will be challenged -paul
[2000-07-28 13:57:00] - no federal agency regulates the performance of computers and yet there are high-end and low-end dealers and lots of middle ground dealers -paul
[2000-07-28 13:56:00] - you are just typing to fast and i read too slowly
[2000-07-28 13:56:00] - because when you don't have laws against monopolies, that's what happens. - aba
[2000-07-28 13:56:00] - i care
[2000-07-28 13:55:00] - nobody else cares, paul
- aba[2000-07-28 13:55:00] - why are there only two companies? -paul
[2000-07-28 13:55:00] - btw, why isn't anyone else weighing in on this conversation? -paul
[2000-07-28 13:55:00] - because when it ends up that you have 2 companies making the same crappy cheap product that you need, then you don't have choice - aba
[2000-07-28 13:54:00] - More choices, less expensive products, products get to market faster... sounds win-win to me-paul
[2000-07-28 13:53:00] - how do the people lose out? -paul
[2000-07-28 13:53:00] - which is why you check with consumers groups before taking that brand-spanking new medication -paul
[2000-07-28 13:53:00] - the people lose out in the end. - aba
[2000-07-28 13:53:00] - yes, maybe in the beginning, but when it comes down to a few companies making a product, and they all cut corners to make things cheaper,
[2000-07-28 13:52:00] - consumers always have a voice because companies have to keep consumers happy -paul
[2000-07-28 13:52:00] - if the companies ignored the consumers groups, the consumers would hear about it and boycott the company -paul
[2000-07-28 13:52:00] - better to have safe things outlawed and delayed than unsafe things flooding the market. a lot of people died before they made e illegal. - aba
[2000-07-28 13:51:00] - and the fda sometimes outlaws things that are perfectly safe for no reason or delays their release to do "extensive testing" -paul
[2000-07-28 13:51:00] - voice slowly but surely. - aba
[2000-07-28 13:51:00] - except, if wasn't not required by law, a lot of companies would cut corners majorly and ignore those consumer groups. consumers would lose their
[2000-07-28 13:48:00] - There are dozens of consumer groups out there that perform the same function as the fda, but cheaper -paul
[2000-07-28 13:47:00] - agencies like the fda ensure that the food we eat is fit for consumption - aba
[2000-07-28 13:46:00] - all government regulation does is increase prices and decrease choices -paul
[2000-07-28 13:46:00] - how does government regulation ensure high-quality goods? -paul
[2000-07-28 13:45:00] - I agree that we need environmental regulations but that's about it -paul
[2000-07-28 13:44:00] - way it was in the early 1900s - aba
[2000-07-28 13:43:00] - if the govt doesn't regulate industry, how will we stop pollution and make sure that we have a high quality of goods? we don't want to go back to the
[2000-07-28 13:43:00] - Come on Andrew, help me out here... -paul
[2000-07-28 13:40:00] - all he wants to do is expand the government and get it involved where it doesn't belong -paul
[2000-07-28 13:39:00] - i can't think of one thing that al gore supports that i agree with -paul
[2000-07-28 13:38:00] - well look at his platform, it's practicaly the opposite of the libertarian one -paul
[2000-07-28 13:35:00] - of course, I haven't looked too much into Nader and Buchanan.... -paul
[2000-07-28 13:35:00] - explain. - aba
[2000-07-28 13:35:00] - gore is a libertarian's worst nightmare -paul
[2000-07-28 13:34:00] - dishonest, slimy personality, and stands for all the wrong things -paul
[2000-07-28 13:31:00] - what's wrong with gore? he just has a wooden personality - aba
[2000-07-28 13:30:00] - doesn't mean i like buchanan, i just dislike gore that much -paul
[2000-07-28 13:29:00] - i would vote for buchanan over gore.... -paul
[2000-07-28 13:29:00] - i must protest, i am not a movie hating paul -movie hating pail
[2000-07-28 13:28:00] - you guys are funny - aba
[2000-07-28 13:24:00] - I'd vote for Nader over Gore. -X-man
[2000-07-28 13:22:00] - Grr... my statement got broken up, first by char limit, then by evil movie hating paul. - Xpovos
[2000-07-28 13:21:00] - When someone is in need, but I feel I should decide when there is need, not the government
[2000-07-28 13:21:00] - especially one that would vote for Nader...
-paul[2000-07-28 13:21:00] - I'm anti-socialist for selfish reasons. I don't expect people to give me undue aide, and I don't feel it should be expected of me. I will help out
[2000-07-28 13:21:00] - i don't see how you can go from being a libertarian to being a democrat though
[2000-07-28 13:20:00] - ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
[2000-07-28 13:20:00] - boondocks is great. huey makes me want to be a communist -paul
[2000-07-28 13:18:00] - I've not read "The Jungle" but I had heard of it. I also read that comic strip.- Xpovos
[2000-07-28 13:17:00] - bunch of commie bastards, do you guys read the comic strip boondocks? -paul
[2000-07-28 13:16:00] - go communism!
[2000-07-28 13:13:00] -
[2000-07-28 13:12:00] - looks like there are two votes for and two against (since i vote against) caps (& paul is the only one here who hasn't read the jungle) -adrian
[2000-07-28 13:12:00] - no offense intended.... just a general dislike of democrat platform -paul
[2000-07-28 13:08:00] - agreed, it makes us all look lazy like those people who don't use caps
-paul[2000-07-28 13:07:00] - I dislike socialsim, it is the anti-me. That is why I dislike Democrats -paul
[2000-07-28 13:07:00] - I vote for caps... it makes all my writing look weird to not have them. - Xpovos
[2000-07-28 13:01:00] - caps are bad. the jungle by upton sinclair. kind of disgusting in the beginning. doesn't get into socialism until the last third or so. - aba
[2000-07-28 13:00:00] - I want caps back. and I'll have to read this jungle book, who wrote it?
[2000-07-28 12:56:00] - let's have a vote! who wants caps back?
[2000-07-28 12:55:00] - I didn't think socialism could rub off... hmm. - Xpovos
[2000-07-28 12:55:00] - . . . . talking to you and your racist friend. (yay for tmbg)
[2000-07-28 12:53:00] - i know politics bore me, but i feel like a hypocrite . . .
[2000-07-28 12:35:00] - i used to be libertarian, but then i read the jungle and some of that socialism stuff rubbed off on me.
- aba[2000-07-28 12:33:00] - Well, Aparna, you're more reasonable then most Democrats. Lots of them want all kinds of censorship, and total gun control.
[2000-07-28 12:23:00] - censorship is BAD in any form. no two ways about it. - aba
[2000-07-28 12:23:00] - i think gun control should exist in some cases (ie convicts), but guns need to be manufactured right (ie thumbprint id on handle) as well. - aba
[2000-07-28 12:22:00] - yes, i like the ssa, but not exactly in its current form. i think you should have option as to what happens to your money. - aba
[2000-07-28 12:19:00] - and what do you think about gun control and censorship? -pail
[2000-07-28 12:17:00] - So you think that social security is a good idea? -paul
[2000-07-28 12:10:00] - sorry, paul... pail--> paul.
[2000-07-28 11:44:00] - Whut happened to CAPS?
[2000-07-28 11:43:00] - And now Pail's impersonating me as well by stealing all my political lines! -- Xpovos
[2000-07-28 11:42:00] - Odd, someone else linked to my page... I don't recall posting that the last time it came up (shortly after I mentioned fixing the bg problem)
[2000-07-28 11:28:00] - do you want specific issues and things? or is that enough? - aba
[2000-07-28 11:27:00] - plus, i think the govt should be somewhat responsible for the welfare of all of its peoples even the poor and elderly. - aba
[2000-07-28 11:26:00] - do a lot of the stuff that republicans/libertarians say they should.
[2000-07-28 11:26:00] - i agree that the government should not regulate the power of the individual as much as they do now. i disagree that corporations should be allowed to
[2000-07-28 11:13:00] - which economic issues do you disagree with me on and which social issues do you agree with me on? -paul
[2000-07-28 11:11:00] - if i could vote, i'd probably vote for nader in the upcoming election, though. - aba
[2000-07-28 11:11:00] - damn libertarian. i'm a democrat, sorry. i agree with you on the social issues, but on the economic ones, i don't at all. - aba
[2000-07-28 11:11:00] - I apologize for my ranting but I am extremely disgusted with the government right now -paul
[2000-07-28 11:09:00] - and what is the rationale behind illegal drugs? -paul
[2000-07-28 11:08:00] - and why are we required to pay the government money so they can give it back to us later in life? -paul
[2000-07-28 11:06:00] - why the hell does Big Tobacco have to pay money to people who knew that smoking causes cancer? -paul
[2000-07-28 11:05:00] - Why is making a product that too many people use grounds for legal action? -paul
[2000-07-28 11:05:00] - Since when has making a program been illegal? -Paul
[2000-07-28 11:04:00] - If the current trend continues, smoking and buying a gun will be illegal very soon and the government will have control over the internet -paul
[2000-07-28 10:55:00] - explain. - aba
[2000-07-28 10:55:00] - i'm talking about a revolution so that we can regain the freedom that we seem to have lost slowly over the years -Paul
[2000-07-28 10:53:00] - And I doubt we have the same idea when it comes to revolution, I'm not talking about a communist one... -Paul
[2000-07-28 10:52:00] - I'm not sure. I'm just in a real sour mood right now so I apologize in advance for anything I may say today -Paul
[2000-07-28 10:47:00] -
- aba[2000-07-28 10:47:00] - because i am revolting. - aba
[2000-07-28 10:47:00] - no, i'll revolt. - aba
[2000-07-28 10:43:00] - paul, why are you depressed?
[2000-07-28 10:43:00] - I can see the revolutionary spirit is weak with you, I shall recruit elsewhere.
[2000-07-28 10:34:00] - i see
[2000-07-28 10:32:00] - pppppppppppppppaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaauuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuullllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll!

[2000-07-28 09:51:00] - you mean a coup d'etat? and who would we have to join?
[2000-07-28 09:43:00] - Anyone want to join me in a coup de tat to overthrow the government?
[2000-07-28 09:27:00] - i swear, like me, andrew and 50 other people are the only ones who have ever seen brazil. too bad such a great movie is going to be forgotten. - aba

[2000-07-28 08:21:00] - you shouldn't change the size of a pic using html 'cause the user has to download the large image, then the browser changes the size
[2000-07-28 08:20:00] - agreed, nice bg
[2000-07-27 19:26:00] - nice background image - aba
[2000-07-27 17:24:00] - Also, all of the links should now work, some had been pointing to emptiness for a while.-- Xpovos
[2000-07-27 17:20:00] - So the white text was on -no- background. Paul told me a way to fix that on my future pages, so it should never happen again. (right)--Xpovos
[2000-07-27 17:18:00] - web files right there in the same directory, but when I loaded the updated html files I forgot to also upload the image being used as the background,

[2000-07-26 19:06:00] - (aba)
[2000-07-26 19:06:00] - andrew, you should get an image program and reduce the size of the image instead of using html to shrink it-the browser still loads the large image.
[2000-07-26 16:00:00] - Good point, I guess I should've said I am not ill -Paul
[2000-07-26 15:33:00] - Paul, i disagree, you are SICK

[2000-07-26 12:02:00] - geocities sucks too. you should at least use filebox or something. - aba
[2000-07-26 11:57:00] - Since I got some comments I'll open up the next four reviews. No guarentees on when Geocities will let you view them, though. -- Xpovos
[2000-07-26 11:54:00] - Need to learn the HTML code for it. And I'll see what I can do about the lack of ladies... Didn't even realize it.
[2000-07-26 11:54:00] - Ok! Cooments! that's the wat I'm teaching myself. I had laredy planned that as the next stage, I have the images for all the movies but one, I just..
[2000-07-26 11:01:00] - oh, and on your movie review page, the only actors you list (apart from "the bowler") are all male. kind of insulting.
- aba[2000-07-26 10:41:00] - might be nice if you pull a paul and align the text with some pictures (either shots from the movies or their covers or something) - aba
[2000-07-26 10:40:00] - um, meow. big font. otherwise looks pretty good for not knowing html. i taught myself by using view source on good webpages. - aba
[2000-07-26 10:27:00] - I've had four distinct visitors to the page, yet no one has made any comments... care to comment on the lack of them?
[2000-07-26 10:27:00] - adrian, you didn't include your stats in the number of posts thing - aba

[2000-07-25 14:57:00] - And I remain unimpressed with Netscape 6 beta. It's the best Netscape has to offer and the latest IE still works better -Paul
[2000-07-25 14:55:00] - I apologize for the sarcasm but I really dislike Netscape. They use cheap tricks in place of good products. -Paul
[2000-07-25 14:54:00] - Oh wow, Netscape 6. It must be better then IE 5 because the number is bigger -Paul

[2000-07-25 10:06:00] - you could have a stand for it, like stands for globes
