I am also having a problem with CNN video, It isn't picking up that I have Windows Media loaded. Maybe Firefox is telling you to stop posting so durned much.

QUOTE(Y2HH @ Apr 13, 2007 -> 09:44 AM) Rush is and has been my favorite band for at least a decade. They aren't for everyone, that's for sure, and there is no need to put people down who don't like them, just as there is no need to put people down who do like them. For some, no explanation is necessary, for others, no explantion will do. The new Rush album "Snakes & Arrows" will be out this May, and they arrive in Chicago (Tweeter Center) on Sept 8th, where I will be front frow. I'm happy they went back to their progressive roots with the new album, as their newer albums (Echo and beyond) were a tad too "new Rush" for me... Long live Rush! Meh, until they do an extended live The Necromancer I'm unimpressed.

QUOTE(RibbieRubarb @ Apr 12, 2007 -> 03:44 PM) That's odd. My transvestite brother also has Slaughterhouse 5 on his headboard. Hey, who the hell took my copy of Slaughterhouse 5 of of the headboard?!!

QUOTE(The Critic @ Apr 12, 2007 -> 09:51 PM) All I've seen is that after he speaks to the Rutgers team he's done talking about it. that was before CBS canned him and when he said he wasn't going to do the talk show circuit to discuss it. Now that he's been sacked I'm sure he'll be rethinking the self-imposed gag order.

QUOTE(Balance @ Apr 12, 2007 -> 03:46 PM) Well, they have A Ghost of a Chance, but nothing is certain, you just have to Roll the Bones. Still, that proclamation has a certain Bravado.... (You can tell which of their albums I actually own....) Well, we'll have to get Geddy on a plane out of YYZ to fly down and see the renovations. If he gives us a Distant Early warning we can meet him down at on the Alien Shore at Lakeside Park on Bastille Day and then drive him through the neighborhood and the Subdivisions around the stadium. He can roll down the Power Windows and share the Spirit of the Radio with an Anthem to the Working Man. We'll Take a Friend and use Free Will to pay The Big Money to sit Under the Shadow behind home plate and hope one of our guys takes off the Kid Gloves and pulls out The Weapon and gives us One Little Victory and hits a monster homerun that gets The Big Wheel spinning and brings Tears to the Grand Finale.

QUOTE(Mplssoxfan @ Apr 12, 2007 -> 03:34 PM) One of my faves as well. He's actually still alive on Trafalmadore in a display with Billy Pilgrim and Montana Wildhack, and he always will be. Mmm mmm Montana! I love her body. . . .of work.

QUOTE(Texsox @ Apr 12, 2007 -> 12:34 PM) Nothing is as underrated as a good desk cleaning, or a nice crap. Bet you'd go crazy for a nice crap on a freshly cleaned desk.

We posted the exact same topic at the exact same time in two separate threads. Good to see someone else procrastinating on his real work.

QUOTE(NorthSideSox72 @ Apr 12, 2007 -> 10:23 AM) Well its not impossible to delete them, but its certainly hard to do. No arguments there. I just think that single repository with legally-protected access would be a decent way to keep people just the slightest bit more honest. I don't disagree with you at all. And in fact, we all know that providers like Earthlink and AOL et all would be in a world of trouble if they couldn't provide any and all relevant emails if presented with a properly executed warrant regardless of end-user intent to permanently delete those communications. From a technical standpoint it is no different here. RNC, if they cared to, can produce any and all or the emails from the backup servers or the tape backups to those backups that are SOP in the IT industry.

QUOTE(NorthSideSox72 @ Apr 12, 2007 -> 08:40 AM) Perhaps there should be an archive somewhere, maintained by the GAO or OMB (whichever one is the executive - I always forget), of all email traffic in and out of the servers for the executive, legislative and judicial branches. Something encrypted and locked up, to be accessed only via warrant or properly legal congressional investigation. Military or security-sensitive information would still, as I am sure it is now, maintain its existing protections. But the files would always be there for recall. I have little time for privacy issues in the business of government, which should rarely be private at all. It's pretty much impossible to lose email in any permanent sense, which is what makes this 'dog-ate-my-homework' strategy so absurd and pathetic. Even if the all copies of these emails have been deleted from the personal computers involved and even if the RNC email servers have been destroyed and replaced, how many other servers did the emails bump into and and still possibly reside on? I think the White House saying the emails were inappropriately deleted is telling the cybergeeks out there that it's fair game to hunt the "lost" communications down. There will be little chance of claiming Exec privilege to keep their contents private since the supposed reasonfor using the RNC accounts and computers was that it was for non-Executive political communication. On top of that, how vital to our national interests could it be that the secrecy in these emails be maintained if officials decided they didn't warrant the high level of security the White House system would have afforded? The country is being run by the friggin' Keystone Cops.

QUOTE(Kid Gleason @ Apr 12, 2007 -> 12:29 AM) RIP Kurt, I never read anything you wrote. I'm sure you would actually really dig his stuff. The science fiction elements of his novels, including the new worlds like Tralfamadore and the fluid realities he creates, are very Lovecraftian and I think the novels would be very much up your alley.

Cat's Cradle and God Bless You Mr. Rosewater will always be favorite books of mine. Mr. Vonnegut http://www.nytimes.com/2007/04/11/books/11...amp;oref=slogin

No, really. . . the dog ate my emails. . .

I think it is important to distinguish here between votor fraud and election fraud. The playing up of the importance of individual votor fraud is purportedly based on the desire to get more stringent voter identification/verification laws in place in all states because that will have the known effect of decreasing minority voter turnout. The accusations of election-rigging, electronic voting missaps, and systemic partisan plots to trick/scare specific voter segments out of showing up to vote are issues distinct from individual cases of voter fraud.

GameBoy (aka, my 7-year old) did it on his 4th try. For real.

QUOTE(NorthSideSox72 @ Apr 10, 2007 -> 04:16 PM) So, I am still looking for an answer to my question. What has BUSH DONE or ACCOMPLISHED since 2003 that is a positive? Damn, I can't believe I'm going to be the one to give it up for The Decider here. . . Last year, Bush designated Northwestern Hawaiian Islands – an island chain spanning nearly 1,400 miles of the Pacific northwest of Hawaii as the largest protected marine reserve in the world. The nearly 140,000 square mile set aside protects about 7,000 species, and perhaps 25% of these are found nowhere else on Earth. NOAA chief Conrad Lautenbacher rightly called it the "single-largest act of ocean conservation in history." ^^^^ Good Thing Dubya Done Did.

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Apr 10, 2007 -> 01:04 PM) "Do it for Terri." Glad to see the irony of the this Gov. Bush-backed law is not lost on everybody. Sanctity of LIFE! SANCTITY OF LIFE!! Oh, wait, you mean our Special Friends in healthcare and in the insurance industry are paying for this? Where the hell is the damn plug?!

Kudos, Kapitan!
