I'm running RedHat 7.1 beta called "fisher". Sometimes (once every twenty
or so logoffs) the video locks up the whole machine. Whaddaya expect from
a beta? Otherwise it is great, and I won't bother upgrading until 7.l
comes out for real.
RedHat has problems, but none are really that major. Certainly
not as frustrating as using Windoze 2000 Pro with Office 2000 and
Visio 2000 -- a most imperfect combination.

Quoting me out of context is not the most intelligent response in
the world, even if it is about what I expect from Wintrolls. Or are
you arguing that it's a *good* thing that Microsoft can effectively
buy a favorable outcome in a lawsuit?

hmm 2 days and yet no reply. I guess "JS PL" has realised how stupid his/her

Actually, the Bible as we know it is a compilation of stories that the
catholic church - the only Christina church in the world at the time - based
on investigation and verification. It wasn't written as a complete book.
And many stories of Christianity didn't make it in because they couldn't be
suitably confirmed. Interesting process.

The School of the Americas teaches a lot of people. Some, when they come
here, aren't nice people. When they go home they continue to be not nice
people. Some come from cultures that promote violence as a part of their
lifestyle, such as many South American nations do. To blame that on going
to a school is to ignore your own failures in your culture. When you have a
problem, start looking for the answer in ever increasing circles around you
desk, the saying goes. You are very quick to find fault with us but slow to
find fault with yourself.
I think your country - whatever that is - has a problem and you are trying
to blame that on the US. Pitiful.

You miss my point. Power is simple power. How it is used is the key. This
is like saying weapons are wrong. It all depends on how they are used.

Roberto, your immature responses are starting to bore. Are you 15 or so?
You talk that way. One last time, if you want to discuss with adults, act
like one. If you want to act like aaron I"ll killfile you too.
Your obvious bias against the US ignores the many, many good things this
country has done for others over the years. Such as fighting Europe's wars
but going home when they were over. I know of damn few nations who give
back what they have bled for. What is your country? Let's try alittle

Date: Sat, 7 Apr 2001 01:40:35 GMT
Just seen on television, and this is so good I have to share it around.
The program appears in the TV schedule as,
The Lone Gunmen: "Maximum Beyers" 62887
and since I don't follow television much, I can't put it into any
perspective. The program seems to be a slightly wacky / corny kind of a
spoof. Tonight's piece has a chimp who can't talk because chimps don't
have the vocal apparatus for it. So someone gives him a laptop, and he
downloads a Linux and a text-to-speech program, which he then uses with
amazing effectiveness. Notice: *Linux* not messydos or winblows. Lots
of fun to watch, and the Linux has just come by again (I have the show
still going as I type). Lots of fun!

Almost nothing in the bible is "suitably confirmed". Or you believe they checked

Mozilla works fine here too, but it is quite noticeably slower than
Opera or Konqueror. Especially the former. The mail client especially
seems to take forever to get started.
I looked at Galeon, but didn't really feel into installing all the
Gnomish bits it needs. So I seem to use Opera most of the time,
switching to one of the others for the few sites it doesn't work with
yet.

Opera lets you turn off the animation, which really cuts down the
annoyance factor.

(sigh) And your statement is ignorant, not provocative. A mob has not
control. An army uses controlled violence for political ends. I say again,
if you are going to post here at least do some reading. You obviously have
not idea of what an army's position is in the political process and your
history is skewed as well.
Really, Roberto, you should lurk and learn alittle before you try and take
an ignorant stand. You would look less foolish. You seem to be
intelligent, ignorance is the state of not knowing.

Erm. Excuse me, but I am not the one who sees no wrong in everything my
country has done in the past, that would be you. Strangely enough, I see
that some men in my country were pricks. Those men's speeches were a lot
like yours. Those men's politics were a lot like yours. Those men's
love of guns was a lot like yours.
Those men went to an academy sponsored by your employer.
I see a connection. Apparently you don't.
Perhaps you don't know that one of the things the School of the Americas
thaught was urban counterinsurgence? Well, I've seen it in action.
Applied by people that seems to be a lot like you. Trained on it by
your employer.

We had a problem. As soon as we got rid of all the idiots that believed
that militaristic crap, things got a lot better. Then we put them in
prison. Some got away, and now we are putting them back in. We are fixing
our problem. You don't see the rotten core of what you stand for.

Yet you use it. If you truly believe what you just posted above, you use of
the Bible in an attempt to bolster your arguments speaks volumes about you.

You have still failed to answer the question at hand. Where did you get
your statistics?
