He's probably still pissed at Bryant for his "racist" comments.. :rolly The guy is on a team... if he decides to back out of an event he should have had the deciency to tell them sooner then 5 minutes before the event. Actually according to Shani and some of the people he trains with last night on the news he told them 2 months ago he wasnt competing in the team event due to how close it was to his best event the 1000m. If that is true the Hendrick is full of s***. These were the people at the Evanston skate club who were saying this. Take it for what its worth.

Maybe they should of thought of this s*** when the kid was born instead of deciding to do this later on in life. Parents fighting over their sons foreskin in court is funny though. Just imagine if that gets back to the classmates. This kids life could be hell in high school.

I have little reason to believe the French Intelligence. The French are still trying to position themselves to run the EU and this seems no more than a well placed publicity stunt to s*** on the US.

QUOTE(Flash Tizzle @ Feb 21, 2006 -> 03:30 PM) What did this decision consist of--asking the Dubai company if they could withhold vital security secrets, and in turn, UAE officials replying, "Yes, don't worry about it"? I believe it's obvious when the Senate majority leader voices opposition to the deal there's a few problems. I wonder whether or not Congress could collect the 2/3 needed to override Bush's veto. If it comes to that. I think they can get the 2/3s vote. This should polarize them to drop the bipartisanship for a moment.

Mac Vulnerability This vulnerabilty has some legs on it. Yes it involves tricking the user into action, but the fact that they can obscure something inside of a zip file is a bit alarming. This has the earmarks of being uses in a IM worm or a email worm. Again no OS is completely safe.

QUOTE(jasonxctf @ Feb 21, 2006 -> 01:46 PM) if it keeps mama from dying, then yes i do believe it would be medically necessary. point here is that neither you nor i nor the pro-lifers or choicers know this for sure. if the doctors say its necessary and true, i'll take their word for it. Odd its the people who perform this procedure who are the only ones who are barking that this is a good thing. Its not like doctors around the medical community are clamoring for this type of procedure. Only the aboritionists who make a buck from this procedure are the ones who are speaking up for it. If its such a critical thing that they need to terminate the life they wouldnt force mama to partially give birth until the head comes out. They would perform a quick C section and remove the baby. Going through the birthing process until the baby's head protrudes from the vaginal canal is a bit more stressful than a C section.

QUOTE(jasonxctf @ Feb 21, 2006 -> 11:49 AM) my personal thought is that the last sentence says it all. We've got anti-abortion people on one side saying that it never medically necessary to save a women's life and doctors on the other side saying that it's the safest way to save a women's life when she is in danger. let's just assume that the anti-abortion people are right on this one... just assume. if the procedure is never medically necessary to save someone's life, then they shouldn't have a problem with the protectionary clause. it would never be enforced. this makes me believe that it could be medically necessary to save someone's life but that the anti-abortion people want to save the fetus's life more than the mother's life and thus want it outlawed entirely. So you believe its medically necessary to induce birth until the head is exposed of the child, then puncture the head or crush the skull of the baby. This is the pratice that you are talking about. Stop acting like this is the start of Roe vs Wade. This is a barbaric way to kill a baby. And for all you abortion rights people, at the 2nd and 3rd trimester. This is a baby not just a mass of cells as you call it.

Crazy Crazy talk Do you know how liberal and looney you have to be, to have Alan Colmes seem like a hawk and the voice of reason. This guy from San Fran is completely nuts. He doesnt want a military, wants the cops and the coast guard to defend us if we get attacked. My favorite line from goofy was "The United States should not have a military,'' Sandoval repeated. "All in all, we would be in much, much, much better shape." The San Fran Chronicle states that Sandoval doesnt speak for San Francisco Not for me

QUOTE(NorthSideSox72 @ Feb 20, 2006 -> 12:54 PM) But the OS does indeed need to work with the Bios, which manages the processor, no? And the chipset dictates some of the machine data communication involving the OS as well, I believe. There is a connection there. This is based entirely on how the kernel communicates to the hardware. Most of the modern malware is executed in user space, not in kernel space. The only applications that utilize lower code would be rootkits. There may be some assembler in some of the code to mask injection points into memory(to trick the OS into executing it). However malware writers dont need to get that low anymore due to the large amounts of APIs and hooks into the OS from the user space area. The only corelation between the code going on Intel vs the Motorolla as far as malware increase is the fact that hackers can port OSx to Vmware or run it natively via a crack on home grown architecture. This means that they have a sandbox development environment to test code. Where before they actually had to own a mac. Its not the Intel architecture that makes its more likely to run a virus, just the fact that more people have it. Now as it sits OSX is more secure out of the box than a windows machine. This has to due more with seperations of user space vs kernel space and how embeddeded Microsoft has put their COM/DCOM/.NET architecture into the OS for their developers. Its a brilliant move for Microsoft as it makes things easy for developers to write, however it makes things easy for hackers to write to as well. The large code base of the Microsoft operating system is also to blame. Distributed development teams and a lack of a quality Q&A cycle. The more lines of code the more bugs that can be left hidden. Its also a much more prevelant operating system, going back to the sandbox theory.

QUOTE(NorthSideSox72 @ Feb 20, 2006 -> 12:09 PM) I don't get it Tex. What do you see as wrong with this? Apple is protecting its proprietary software from various types of theft. I would expect any software company (or software division) to do the same. Their code is their lifeblood, and Apple OS is not open-source, right? So what bothers you about this? Actually a good amount of its code is open source. Their OS is based on BSD, and they have had the Darwin project open for years running their kernel and their base OS on x86. I agree that its their right, and its their software, however all this is going to do is push it to the torrent sites. The cracking of the OS will happen, and it will be available. Just not on some easy to download website.

QUOTE(whitesoxfan101 @ Feb 20, 2006 -> 02:38 PM) As reported on the Score by the guy who wrote the article. Shoulder has a boo boo

Lets look at the definition of terrorist. Definitions include intimidation for political gain and the unconventional use of violence against civilians. What is the purpose of the violence and threats that this group, and eco groups like this use . Is it for financial gain, no. Is it to intimidate for a political gain? Yes. If it against civilians? If you look at it like this you can see that in this context these people are terrorist. And if you follow groups like this and others like the ELF, ALF, and their front end political group PETA you see a disturbing amount of targetting of civiilans and other groups to get their objective across. The fact that these groups work in cells with autonomy just like the jihadist that we fight over seas. So far these groups have been relatively lucky that one of their bombings hasnt killed large amounts of people. But then again as long as it isnt an innocent chicken, I guess they dont care. Here are some quotes from the co-founder of PETA Arson, property destruction, burglary, and theft are ‘acceptable crimes’ when used for the animal cause. - PETA co-founder Alex Pacheco lists the “acceptable” tactics to fight for animal rights, Associated Press (January 3, 1989) Bill Maher f***ed up quote, he is an animal activist/nut To those people who say, `My father is alive because of animal experimentation,’ I say `Yeah, well, good for you. This dog died so your father could live.’ Sorry, but I am just not behind that kind of trade off. - US magazine (February 1, 1999) Craig Rosebraugh, Grantee in an open letter to its members Physically shut down financial centers … Using any means necessary, shut down the national networks of NBC, ABC, CBS, CNN, etc. Not just occupations but actually engage in strategies and tactics which knock the networks off the air … Spread the battle to the ... very heads of government and U.S. corporations ... Hit them in their personal lives, visit their homes … Actively target U.S. military establishments within the United States... strike hard and fast and retreat in anonymity. Select another location, strike again hard and fast and quickly retreat in anonymity ... Do not get caught. DO NOT GET CAUGHT. Do not get sent to jail. Stay alert, keep active, and keep fighting. - Open letter to activists, published on the Independent Media Center website (March 17, 2003) I think [food producers] should appreciate that we’re only targeting their property. Because frankly I think it’s time to start targeting them. - "Conference on Organized Resistance," American University (January 26, 2003) As a direct-action warrior, it made a lot of sense to me to attack institutions in the fur trade … We need to destroy them by any means necessary. - "Conference on Organized Resistance," American University (January 26, 2003) f we really believe that animals have the same right to be free from pain and suffering at our hands, then, of course we’re going to be, as a movement, blowing things up and smashing windows … I think it’s a great way to bring about animal liberation … I think it would be great if all of the fast-food outlets, slaughterhouses, these laboratories, and the banks that fund them exploded tomorrow. I think it's perfectly appropriate for people to take bricks and toss them through the windows ... Hallelujah to the people who are willing to do it.

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Feb 20, 2006 -> 11:30 AM) I know that was the case under the old agreement in place before last November...are you sure they didn't change it when they agreed to the new tests, the 50 game suspension, and the tests for amphetimines? I just think its a limitation of the urine tests. I believe that when they can test for HGH in Urine it will be allowed, but under the current agreement I dont think they can perform blood draws. You can test for Amphetimines in urine.

The idea that someone thought this was a good idea is f***ing stupid. Companies in the UAE managing our ports is akin to companies managed by Vincente Fox watching the Mexican/American border. Scud Missles will be over here in no time in a container labeled fruit.

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Feb 20, 2006 -> 11:24 AM) You know, I never got an answer to any of my questions back in November about whether or not the MLB's new drug testing agreement provided for any means of testing for HGH. Did anyone else find that bit of info anywhere? I think that they cant check for it due to the fact that HGH is not covered under the current urine drop tests. They are working on a test for HGH in urine, but for right now the only way they can spot it is via a blood stick. Which the players association doesnt have to allow under the current agreement.

I dont think he is on Horsey Testy Juice anymore, but Human Growth Hormone. Sure.

QUOTE(kapkomet @ Feb 20, 2006 -> 10:00 AM) We weren't able to get a gender determination from the 20 week ultrasound, so for the wife's birthday, I bought her a 3d-4d ultrasound - more so we could find out what we're having. Those things are pretty damn cool. You can see quite a few features that of course you can't on a "regular" ultrasound. Our baby was doing *HER* best gymnast impersonation - had her feet above her head, and her arms behind her knees. The funniest part was she kept yawning - like "leave me alone, I want to sleep..." - as southsider later pointed out, my my isn't that going to be some role reversal in about 2.5 months. Oh, and did you get the part about *HER*? The nursery is at least cleaned out now. Going to paint it this week. We got the crib and dresser this weekend. Things are slowly coming together. Congrats Kap, Those 3D ones are cool. I was trying to convince the wife to get one of those, however our guy decided not to hide so we figured it out with the 2D version. Get all the sleep you can get right now.

QUOTE(SSH2005 @ Feb 19, 2006 -> 04:21 PM) http://www.dailyherald.com/sports/whitesox.asp?id=157840 I still can't believe people thought that Dye would bat 3rd over Thome. Thome keeps hitting the ball to all fields and he will be my new favorite hitter. Hopefully Kong can remember what turned him into one of the most dangerous hitters in the 2nd half last year, and that was hitting to right and right center when the ball was thrown away. If this team takes pitches, is patient at the plate and uses the entire field this offense will be dynamic.

Thats just me If you gave me the money he was getting and I was told you have to drink water and eat Peanut Butter sandwiches only, guess what, I would have a new favorite food and drink. The fact that he cannot give up some recreational drug over gobs and gobs of money just proves that Mike Tyson isnt the only insane athlete.

A library doesnt require its people to sign an acceptable use policy. So these guys cannot enforce that. Libraries are open ground. As law enforcement they should know that also. At work however people are f***ing morons. You wouldnt believe how many morons surf for porn at work even though they f***ing know you are watching them. We make our employees sign waivers and its well known we are looking, and sure enough you can catch someone at any point in the day surfing for porn. So let me sacrifice my good paying job and my benefits because I cant wait until I get to this porn site. LOL Even though its the library I dont know if I would be surfing porn at the library. Thats why you have broadband at home people.
