Yup. And the reason the UN had 17 resolutions against Iraq is because Iraq violated the first 16. We know he had WMD's cuz we (the US) and France and Germany and Russia (and god knows who else) sold them to Iraq. The question is: what happened to these WMD's. I'm sure there are other political reasons we are there now, just saying. Absolutely correct about the UN, it's a joke. The corruption, abuses and do nothing attitude until it's far too late is sickening. Usually the UN takes no real action to protect those it claims to benefit. The states that the UN is shaking it's finger at KNOWS the UN won't really back it up with anything, so these rogue states just ignore the UN's threats. But when they DO take action, where do they turn? The UN is nothing but a tea party without the US to backup it's decisions, the few times the UN has the balls to ask us to do so. The world wants to sleep under our blanket and expects us to babysit the entire planet. But then they do nothing but complain how we go about this and point out every mistep.

Hours of reliable connection. When I power on the Laptop, still the sb3 works fine...Now when i turn the laptop off (or simply switch the wifi radio off) the sb3 drops out. Nothing but nothing can restore the connection to the server unless I reboot the router, or simply, switch the laptop's wifi radio back on. The same thing happend with the Sony xbox.

Re: [slim] What an election.
Well first off its great to have a conversation with real people, rather than the nonsense the press on both sides of the pond pumps out. 10 pages in and people, although obviously disagreeing have having differing points of view, have put their points across in a non personal and intelligent way. However, i feel been called racist is very unfair. MrSinatra - i do agree with a lot of what you are saying, but you are clearly very patriotic and see things though rose tinted glasses. You have the same one sided naive views that have caused this to become such a disaster and you have obviously completely fallen for the propaganda out government have bombarded us with. First off, you say i am racist for saying Arabs are incapable of democracy, which i did not even say. I said that it won't be delivered via a badly conceived military campaign. No matter what the Iraqi citizens say when they are wheeled in front of the camera's from the US public, most don't care about democracy, especially if it means some much pain and death. They dont even know what it is, they just want clean water, heath care, food on their tables and their children to stop dying from stray missiles from the political vacuum the invasion caused. All of these things they had before the invasion. And thats not even accounting for the religious element - the type of Islamic tradition is unfortunately very un-democratic - you would have get some of the most deeply religious people to radically change their religious views too. And all thats before the PR disaster after PR disaster. For example, the troops raced to protect the Oil wells and put much effort into this. However, they made no attempt to protect the hospitals being attacked and robbed. Not just hospitals, but the Baghdad museum was looted and virtually destroyed - with many of the worlds most precious and ancient artefacts were lost forever. Yet the occupying forces did nothing. How does this looks to the average Iraqi? It was clear as day that the Oil was the number 1 priority. You say acknowledging this fact, and countless others, is obnoxious and vapid. That trust they way it is, our governments have proved this time after time. Reason 1,001 why they want us out yesterday and dont care about democracy much. Then Bush goes as says he invaded Iraq because he was told to by God. Apart from the fact this is clearly a desperate attempt to gain support from the regions far right in the US and UK, it effectively told everyone he had religious motivations. That was a bad thing to say even by Bush's standards - http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2005/oct/07/iraq.usa You say the world is ungrateful for the US's actions. This is simply not true and used as an excuse. Yes, rightly or wrongly, the US has been viewed as arrogant and self serving by some people, but the vast majority of the world has always been very good friends with the US. It's not until the Iraq war (not the previous one where Iraq invaded another country) where even people with the most historically supportive of the US have said this is all wrong this time. Whether this is illegal or not, i strongly believe we have fallen very far from the moral high ground. I completely agree about the UN, complete waste of time. i also agree that if any nation does not want to listen and comply they should probably leave. Will it be a failure in the end? Well what exactly where the goals then? Who can say, the objectives have changed so much. Anything is possible when you keep moving the goal posts. but will Iraq become a lasting and stable democracy? not in our wildest dreams. I felt i had to respond to those very personal and extensively offensive accusations.

All of these things they had before the invasion. And thats not even accounting for the religious element - the type of Islamic tradition is unfortunately very un-democratic - you would have get some of the most deeply religious people to radically change their religious views too. they don't even know what it is. am i only in seeing the racist overtones here? sorry, but what you just wrote is INCREDIBLY patronizing and misguided. al-sistiani, (-sp?) the leading cleric there, supports the move to democracy. all of islam is not opposed to it you know. there are islamic democracies, they do exist. autopilot;358186 Wrote: And all thats before the PR disaster after PR disaster.

There are other nations troops -fighting- there, including a great deal of British who are in constant combat. There has been a lot of deaths, including a few from my home town. We are a very small nation so we have less troops there than the US, but fighting and fighting hard, they are not cook's - that's incredibly insulting to there memories and patronising. And no, you are clearly calling me racist. You are saying my POV is racist, so that makes me a racist by it's very definition. What i said does not deserve such a flaming and abuse, there can't be many more insulting things than that. Not only that, but you quote me as saying things i did not say. I think most people will realise i did not say Most Arabs (Iraqi's, BTW not Arabs - i have not used the term Arab once) are incapable of Democracy, no mater how you try and twist it. I clearly said that it was incompatible with the current religious and cultural climate. Their religion has far more influence than our military could ever dream off, and most Clerics want Sharia law. That added with many other factors such are pressure from Iran, Syria etc, and a great distrust of the US/UK and the fact that Democracy is not the average Iraq's first priory anyway (and, even given every horrible acts he committed, many things were better under Saddam in term of day to day life - a truth that is horrible to swallow i know) means that i think long term it will fail. What is happening there now is a puppet show and we will have to occupy and have a hand in the government indefinably to keep the fake democracy going. Because as soon as we leave the Sunni Vs Shia civil war will in escalate and the government will crumble in much less than a decade - probably to a shadow Iran/Syrian sponsored government, which will be worse than Saddam for all of us. I dont even blame the US/UK for all of this post invasion insanity, Iran needs to brought to justice to IMO for the supply weapons to insurgents, thus taking advantage of this mess and trying to make is worse and killing more of our troops. As for me saying they don't know what democracy is - well they have never experienced it, been able to study it as school or seen it on TV. So how do they really know what's it's like to live under a democratic government? thats not racist or patronising, thats just the way it is. And is this is just about democracy and/or human rights now, why Iraq? Why not north Korea, Saudi Arabia or China? Or maybe one of the many African countries tat are much much worse than Iraq was, they would be easy, why did we not help them? Whats wrong with the attitude that we might well fail anyway? Not planning for the worst is why this has gone so wrong. MrSintra, i hope you are right. Time will tell is some long term good can really come from this, neither of us can predict the future, but i'm 99% sure we are losing. I hope a am wrong, and regardless of whats happened to take us down this road, we all must agree what we want to see is the safe return of our troops and a good life for the Iraq's who asked for none of this. Anyway, that all i think i will say, but due to the fact that i have had quotes made up and been called racist and also had other very personal and insults remarks made i have reported this to the Mods. -- autopilot *Lounge :* Squeezebox Classic - Cambridge Audio Azur 640a - Mission 701's. *Bedroom :* Squeezebox Receiver - Trends TA10.1 Class-T - Kef Cresta 1's *Office :* Softsqueeze - Logitech Active 5.1's. *Kitchen :* Squeezebox Boom -coming soon- *Roaming : * Squeezebox Controller - Logitech mm28 portable speakers / Shure E2c's *Controllers :* Squeezebox Controller x 2 + Logitech Harmony one *Server :* SC7.3b (Vista 64) + AlienBBC, iPlayer MusicIP headless.

I'm not sure it is worth the price.

I don't know what will happen to the Sunni areas but the south will most likely come under Iranian control. Which may not be the worst thing, long term, since the Iranians managed a revolution before (against the US, who supported their Dictator, which in turn largely contributed to all the turmoil between the US and Iran these days) and are liberal by Middle East standards (the people, not the gov.).

Re: [slim] Help! SB3 drops out...Router Issue?
Superstition The SB wireless units, and particularly the controller, do not play well in a mixed B-G network where B devices come and go, thus switching the network from G to mixed. I can't prove this, but in my case I can reproduce the controller going off the net for a few minutes anytime I turn my B laptop on. I've gone back to B only, which is in fact good enough for my purposes. In some of my earlier flailing, I had an SB3 that would go off the net in the sense that it was associated, according to it and the router, but could not be pinged and could not communicate. This was with a Linksys WRT110. I haven't seen it with the replacement Netgear 824.

Re: [slim] Get OS message on start since version 7.2 (I think) (Mac OS X)
If you set it to start when you log in, this problem still occurs on 7.2.1. But if you set it to start when the system boots, presumably it's run as a different user and so does actually start automatically. -- jfield jfield's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17835 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=54453 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] SqueezeBox3 slow response
Just looked at the Asus tech forum and saw no answers there. I am very interested in the final solution to this since I plan to go a similiar route except with a locally attached USB drive instead of a NAS. Just curious if the Eee Box timeout kicks in if music is playing on the SB3 or only if the player is idle? -- upstatemike upstatemike's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=6409 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=53686 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

The vote has even been fair. I don't like him either, but he DOES have the support of his people. He did even get more votes than his opponent, a thing not every US president could claim. What is your standard for a democracy? That it's being run by the Republican party? This is EXACTLY the kind of imperialist attitude the US is being hated for in big parts of the world. and gimmie a break about germany, it has ZERO combat troops there, and what little ones it does have there are in the rear with the gear. That's a question of perspective. As I said, they are not allowed to go into combat as of the German constitution which allows for German troops to only go into combat under one of two conditions: Sanctioned by UN or when NATO goes to war. Both is not the case here. what exactly do you want? evidence of the armistice? evidence the UN inventoried WMDs after the gulf war? evidence of the WMD still existing in 2003. The US claimed to have it, it was a lie. does that mean when we do do things, when the rest of the world does nothing, we should be criticized? When it's against what the rest of the world wants: yes. america has asked germany to do more, they won't. They can't. Read my last post. It's in the constitution. Without that we would not have gotten the unification. I admit the US were not the hardliners about this, that was France and the UK, but that's still how it is. so whats your solution? we had WMDs that saddam wouldn't demonstrate he had detroyed, we have iran trying to build a nuke, we had oil for food bribes... whats your solution? negotiations? Having a plan before going to war would help a good deal, first of all. Iran is not trying to build a nuke, they are trying to play games with you. And you don't get it. What did you have to negotiate in Iraq? How about just leaving them alone? They did attack no one (in 2003). What's your solution: Stay there for another 150 years and get US soldiers killed by all sides? Have fun! Pull out and get a civil war? Cool plan you had. Cool democracy you got! of course we have a self interest in SOME of what we do, (we had NONE in bosnia, your backyard), but frankly i could care less what the rest of the world thinks, as the rest of the world rarely has a backbone or can be counted on. where is the EU for georgia? Where it belongs: at home. Please don't forget who started THAT war! the ukraine? What's up with ukraine? No war there. moreover, this idea that we shouldn't do anything pro-active or else it will ecruit more terrorists, is defeatist. sounds very neville chamberlain to me. you don't cure cancer by appeasing it. you fight it.

Re: [slim] SqueezeBox3 slow response
Thanks for the update... I was actually going to order the Eee Box today so this is very timely information. I will probably hold off now to see what response/explanation you get from Asus. I was thinking that that if SC was actively doing something the problem would not occur. Since I have several players running the SuperDateTime plugin I was hoping the constant updates to those displays might prevent the throttle-back of the Eee Box CPU but I guess not. Please post any more info you discover on this problem. -- upstatemike upstatemike's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=6409 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=53686 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] SqueezeBox3 slow response
Hi upstatemike. The mysterious timeout always kicks in playing or not :-) But I have created a task which is executed every 3 minute (just to be sure): powercfg /DEVICEQUERY wake_from_S1_supported. This will indeed keep the Eee Box running and my setup runs like a charm. I don't know what the powercfg command does, besides of listing devices supporting wake from S1, but it works. The only thing which is not working while keeping the Eee Box alive with a task is automatic standby after a specified period in windows. But I have overcome this problem by running another task which will bring the Box in Standby at 22.00. Of course I hope a more clean solution will be found in the future. But as I said, my setup now works like a charm.

Re: [slim] Political BS
but not yours pat? :) i'll just reiterate what i said in the other thread that complains about a single thread: slim should make a forum for topics that have nothing to do with slim, and probably rename general discussion to general discussion about slim, if in fact thats what it is. then again, as we are talking about one thread, (not counting the two complaining about it), slim might do nothing. but imo, they should. it would appease everyone and make expectations clear for the future. -- MrSinatra www.LION-Radio.org Using: Squeezebox2 (primary) / SBR (secondary) / SBC - w/SC 7.3b - Win XP Pro SP3 - 3.2ghz / 2gig ram - D-Link DIR-655 MrSinatra's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2336 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=54841 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
