[FairfieldLife] Re: a computer question - is it allowed? new question..
From the responses so far it seems that there are ways of controlling a a pc remotely, but that my idea of using a laptop as the sole monitor and keyboard of a faster desktop base unit won't actually take advantage of the faster capabilities of the unit. The main bottleneck is the monitor although developments like http://www.itpro.co.uk/news/161082/multiple-monitors-go-wireless-this- year.html suggest we are getting to the point of overcoming this problem. So forgetting wireless connections, how can I wire up a laptop to a faster PC base unit so that it ONLY acts as the monitor and keyboard, thereby taking full advantage of the faster PC (and save me having to buy a new monitor at least)? --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, claudiouk [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Instead of buying a new laptop is it possible to just buy a faster desktop PC base unit (without monitor or keyboard) and then access this unit from anywhere in the house from my old laptop (which then becomes the wireless keyboard and monitor for the unit)??

I know there are programs (eg XP Professional has it) where you can control a computer remotely and see the desktop, but does that take advantage of the faster computer capacity or is the process limited by the speed of the controlling computer anyway, in which case my idea is pointless..?

[FairfieldLife] Re: David Lynch- please lead secular organization to teach TM
David Lynch's sanity informs his judgement which fortunately mitigates the extent that he is embarrassed by the TMO. He has courage to promote TM, but he is no fool. His absence from the recent transition meetings in Vlodrop gives me hope in that regard. The degree that TM will make any contribution on a large scale in the coming decade is largely dependent upon his ability to rescue the TM technique from its irrelevancy at the hands of the overtly religious TMO. I ask much of him - that he do all he can to make secular TM instruction available to as many as possible. A new organization with only the faintest association with the current TMO will be necessary for the task at hand. Personal correspondence from him in response to my request is the least of my desires. --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, nablusoss1008 [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, dhamiltony2k5 dhamiltony2k5@ wrote: --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, mainstream20016 mainstream20016 wrote: Good letter though.

Who would Obama pick?
(Repugnant topic alert -- even racist to suggest it needs to be
considered, but today, I think it holds water.) Concept: the more
threatening to the plutocracy that the VP selection is, the less
likely that Obama will be assassinated. Obama could be killed just
like Bobby if he makes it too clear that he'll cost GlobalBiz any
profits.
Maybe a slavering ultra lefty like Ramsey Clark/Noam Chompsky/Cindy
Sheehan, or an African American with the credentials of, say, Al
Sharpton would do the trick.
Or a Muslim.
Or, hey, WHY NOT HIS WIFE? Yeah, that's the ticket.
Any of the above choices would be so odious to the electorate that
even McCain could beat that ticket.
So, does that leave John Edwards, Biden, Kathleen Sebelius, Tim Kaine,
Tom Daschle?
My pick: Ron Paul -- only Ron Paul scares Death Inc. more than Obama.
I keep thinking Bloomberg and Gore will swoop out from behind the
curtains any second now and make a mockery of the primary-process. If
Bloomberg runs, he could win.
If Hillbillery gets the nod, I may have to move to Canada -- as if
they'd have me. We're all ugly Americans to most of the world's
decent folks -- BushCo happened on our watch, and we, we posted at
sites like this one with a voiced ferocity that is only matched by the
war cries heard from a bowl of Rice Crispies. We snapped, we crackled,

DU said in a press release that the cause of the incident had not yet been identified.

The company is also the owner of one of the undersea cables that were sliced on Wednesday in the Mediterranean Sea. That damage triggered wide internet outages, hampering businesses and private usage across the Middle East and Asia.

Hey, Edg, I haven't gotten any of the racist junk mail you have (yet), and I don't disagree with you that Obama's nomination (should that happen) and possible election would bring out blatant racism and uncover for all to see its ugliness and perversity, but I think that'll be a very good thing.

--- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, Roberto [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: snip The thing about the sex thing, Clinton obviously had a sex- addiction problem, if you read his biography and the history of his addiction as governor and through the years. Which biography was this, Robert? And who wrote it? I think the sex-addiction thing, helped the Republicans get elected in 2000 If you'll recall, what helped the Republicans get elected in 2000 was a Supreme Court decision prohibiting a recount in Florida despite massive voting irregularities that almost certainly cost Gore the state--even though Gore had won the popular vote. What also helped the Republicans get elected was the enthusiastic cooperation of the media in spreading the Republicans' lies about Al Gore. Again: Gore won the popular vote by a significant margin, losing Florida by only a few hundred votes, *despite* Clinton's sex-addiction thing and the blatant anti-Gore bias in the media. The sex-addiction thing wouldn't have been a problem for Clinton--any more than it was for Jack Kennedy, who by all accounts also had a sex addiction--were it not for the Republicans' determination to bring Clinton down even if they had to use the sleaziest of tactics, and, again, the eager cooperation of the media with this goal. And I think he got so angry about the conspiracy 9/11 talk the other day, Because he had a real chance to wack bin Laden many times during his administration: If he had more insight and sense of the urgency of the time. Au contraire, Pierre. Clinton's determination to get bin Laden was frustrated at every turn. He never had a clear shot. See, for example: http://www.salon.com/politics/feature/2002/01/15/clinton/index.html Don't blame Clinton by Joe Conason Summary: Conservatives who once ridiculed and obstructed the former president's aggressive efforts to fight terrorism are now trying to pin Sept. 11 on him. They have a lot of nerve. See also this from Behind Clinton's Hunt for bin Laden in Newsday, 9/27/06: ...Clinton's record [on bin Laden] is in some way easier to assess [than Bush's], given a host of books by Clinton insiders, as well as the authoritative 9/11 Commission report. From those, a picture emerges of a Clinton White House slow at first to grasp the global dimensions of the al-Qaida threat, and then struggling as it tries to fit Cold War-era intelligence and defense policies to a 21st-century menace. The Clinton administration even wrestled with the question of whether they had the legal right to kill bin Laden - a seemingly academic question now, in light of the apparent chance to prevent the deaths of nearly 3,000 Americans, but one that forced Clinton to rely heavily on plans to capture bin Laden at first, the 9/11 Commission said. And even though officials from Clinton on down made clear that he had one goal - he wanted bin Laden dead - some of the very CIA officials given that task said they were confused whether they had the legal right to kill bin Laden, the report said. White House insiders from that time vigorously deny any reluctance to strike, saying Clinton signed increasingly potent orders that would have allowed the CIA to kill bin Laden - but that they never had a clean shot. In fact, the missed opportunities catalogued by the 9/11 Commission are frustrating to read in retrospect. The Afghan capture plot fizzled. Another missile strike fell off the table over fears of hitting a mosque. The CIA pulled the plug on a February 1999 plot to kill bin Laden at a desert camp, over fears of the United Arab Emirates princes. One missed chance does stand out - an aborted May 1999 strike called off because the CIA thought the intelligence was only 50-50. A senior military officer told the 9/11 Commission that bin Laden should have been a dead man that night. Daniel Benjamin, who worked on Clinton's National Security Council at the time, said the lack of that second hard confirmation on bin Laden's presence made it impossible to go forward with further strikes. If you couldn't confirm that he was there, then there was a risk of killing a lot of innocent people, Benjamin said. Benjamin also said Clinton twice ordered up military options to strike Afghanistan to rout bin Laden, but that the Pentagon offered large and unwieldy options that would have been impractical and difficult to sell to the American people. Some Republicans in Congress even accused Clinton of trying to distract from his problems with Monica Lewinsky by striking Afghanistan in 1998. Some experts concur, saying it's easy to look back now and question Clinton but that the nation simply wasn't prepared to take dramatic steps against al-Qaida - at least not until after 9/11. To me, the defense of the Clinton administration is provided by President Bush, when he himself says, '9/11 changed everything,' said Brian Michael Jenkins, a terrorism expert at Rand, a nonpartisan think-tank.

[FairfieldLife] Re: If Obama gets the nod ---- (Ann Coulter: I'll campaign for Hillary)
Part of the behavior arises from hatred, but part arises from a win-at-all-costs morality, and the lust for money. Here in New Hampshire in 2002, a Republican operative arranged to have the Democratic phone lines deluged with so many calls that the Dems were unable to make get-out-the- vote calls. Here's an excerpt from a recent Washington Post story about this guy: His worst deed, he says, was not the one that sent him to prison. It was arranging for white ethnic voters in New Jersey to receive recorded phone messages touting a Democratic congressional candidate in an accent Raymond describes as angry black man. But as he tells that story, he can't help smiling, even though his candidate lost by 481 votes. To me, you're hired to do a job, and the job is to win. There's a lot of money being spent and there are careers on the line and there's a lot of power on the table, and so you have an obligation to do the best job you can to get the outcome your clients want, which is to win. Raymond didn't perform his dirty tricks because he was a passionate ideologue or even a committed Republican. He could have worked for either party: I wasn't in it for a cause. To me it was a business. Politics is an industry. There's a lot of money there. http://tinyurl.com/23nw4j --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, Duveyoung [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Marek, How I long for you to be correct.

Dear Rick, Wanted to say hello and let you know what's been happening with me. I have spent the last several years studying Vedic Meditation.

So my predictions now are based on what is the worst possible outcome in an election (mirroring the saying by Mencken that nobody ever went broke underestimating the taste of the American public.), and I think that McCain is going to be the new disaster in the White House.

[FairfieldLife] Re: Maharishi and Fairfield in article on Dailykos
It's not favorable, but it's accurate that both Paul's and Maharishi's position occupies mostly the fringe of public attention; and in Maharishi's case, perhaps not even that. Both movements, Paul's political and Maharishi's spiritual/mercantile, have excellent motivations and (at times) effective rhetoric, but mixed results. It doesn't bother me particularly that the TMO failed (apparently, to date) to deliver most of what was promised, because I recognize the value of Maharishi, his teachings and his techniques to my life, regardless; and I've no reason to believe that the same isn't true for many others. It's clear that few here, whether true believers or pure opponents of the TM programs, would deny the impact and ultimately positive value of their association with it and with Maharishi. For me there was nothing objectionable to the article at all.

They have so thoroughly screwed the pooch it's unbelievable. But Romney strikes me as far too expedient in his ambitions for power, and McCain, whose personality I like and whose personal history I admire, is far too warlike in his response to Islamic radicalism/fascism. I'd like to see far more time and effort spent to understand the cultural personality that fosters (or at least doesn't suppress) the type of violence that we see perpetrated under the banner of Islam. Rather than just say that they are our 'enemies', we have to figure out what have we done and what are we doing -- in their eyes -- that stimulates such hatred.

Last two paragraphs of a pro-McCain post on The Corner, the group blog of the right-wing National Review (most of whose members have been strongly anti-McCain and are struggling to come to terms with the likelihood that he'll win the nomination): In short, anyone who saw the Democratic debate Thursday night can envision the new future on their horizon: identity politics and self- congratulation over race and gender; tax increases (back to estate tax hikes, income tax rates go up, payroll tax caps lifted, etc); internationalism for the sake of internationalism (defer to the U.N., E.U., apologies for past conduct, *contextualizing terrorism*), more government (teachers, the poor, the middle class, etc. all need new government programs to add to those we have), and legislating judges (more Ginsburgs and Breyers). (emphasis added) Given all of the above, I don't think it's in the interest of conservatives for much longer to worry about McCain's class ranking at Annapolis or how many planes he was nearly killed in. I'm pretty sure this dude would refer (with a shudder) to what you just advocated above as contextualizing terrorism. The horror...

I'm just a couple of chapters into The Looming Tower: Al-Qaeda and the Road to 9/11 by Lawrence Wright, and I hope to have a clearer sense of the ingredients in that particular helping of the stew when I'm through. It starts way back in the '30s with an Egyptian Muslim named Qutb, who, after spending several years teaching in the United States, returned to Egypt full of hatred for Western culture and ended up writing a book that became a sort of bible for the radical Islamist movement. If you haven't read it (Wright, not Qutb, although the latter is probably fascinating as well), you might want to give it a shot. Everyone believes that resistance to the change that Barack (and Hillary, too) represent will be intense and ugly. Not unlikely, but I'm definitely caught up in the groundswell for Obama that is growing, and I'm hoping that it will dampen opposition. We'll see. FWIW, I'm supporting Hillary because I think Obama is caught up in his own groundswell and really hasn't a clue what he's going to be facing if he's elected (or even just if he's nominated). I'm very doubtful that the support he's attracting is going to discourage the opposition among the power structure he'll have to deal with in the slightest. It's all thrilling and inspirational and uplifting and intoxicating, and I wish to heck I could be part of it just because it must *feel* so good. But I'm not at all sure there's any real muscle behind it.
[FairfieldLife] Re: Across the universe
Turq, thanks for pointing this article out, which states: The flavor of the song was heavily influenced by Lennon's, and The Beatles' short-lived interest in Transcendental Meditation in late 1967early 1968, when the song was composed. Based on this he added the mantra Jai guru deva om to the piece, which became the link to the chorus. The Sanskrit phrase is a sentence fragment whose words could have many meanings, but roughly translate to salutations to the guru, then the mystic syllable om.

Sorry to intrude in such nice projection but John wrote the song when his wife Cynthea kept running her mouth BEFORE they went to Rishikesh. Did you ever write a song Off? He wasn't thinking within the boundaries of philosophy you are trying to stuff him into. He was creating a word collage. Read what they guy wrote about his own songs and you will understand. Trying to turn his clever word salad into an advocacy piece for TM just shows how little you understand about his music. OTHO everything you say is true FOR YOU. That is the great thing about poetic songwriting. It was just the last part about But then I thought that would have been obvious to you. that smacked of my projection is reality that I object to.

What I was commenting on was the inflamed response last week when someone suggested while Bill Clinton was speaking, that the 9/11 thing was a conspiracy... His strong reaction to the question, made me feel that perhaps he had failed in that arena. I've also heard Bill Clinton expressed regret for his personal failure to prevent the 1994 slaughter of 800,000 people, in the Rwandan genocide. There is no doubt that Bill Clinton is a brilliant and charismatic guy. If he ends up back in the White House, he could possibly be there longer than any other president= 16 years...think about it!

NASA on Monday will broadcast the Beatles' song Across the Universe across the galaxy to Polaris, the North Star. This first-ever beaming of a radio song by the space agency directly into deep space is nostalgia-driven. It celebrates the 40th anniversary of the song, the 45th anniversary of NASA's Deep Space Network, which communicates with its distant probes, and the 50th anniversary of NASA. Send my love to the aliens, Paul McCartney told NASA through a Beatles historian. All the best, Paul. The song, written by McCartney and John Lennon, may have a ticket to ride and will be flying at the speed of light. But it will take 431 years along a long and winding road to reach its final destination. That's because Polaris is 2.5 quadrillion miles away. NASA loaded an MP3 of the song, just under four minutes in its original version, and will transmit it digitally at 7 p.m. EST Monday from its giant antenna in Madrid, Spain. But if you wanted to hear it on Polaris, you would need an antenna and a receiver to convert it back to music, the same way people receive satellite television. The idea came from Martin Lewis, a Los Angeles-based Beatles historian, who then got permission from McCartney, Yoko Ono and the two companies that own the rights to Beatles' music. One of those companies, Apple, was happy to approve the idea because is always looking for new markets, Lewis said. Perhaps coincidentally, the song's launching comes a day before the release of the DVD of the Julie Taymor movie named after the Beatles hit.

(snip) He (Clinton) was distracted by the impeachment and so on. A, there you go! Back to true form. It was the Republicans fault he didn't wack Bin Laden. He had several opportunities that were missed. I'm not blaming anyone... I was just pointing out that there were many missed opportunities during the Clinton administration as there have been during the past years with Bush. The blame is more with the whole thing that's being strummed up in the election, of Washington being broken: too much noise in the system... Too much divisiveness. Bush and the Clintons seem to invite divisiveness. That's the whole theme of the Obama campaign, to amend these tendencies. Time will tell, whether that is even possible, or whether we will just hold on to what is familiar in a time of change.
