Re: OT [newbie] Microsoft and George W. Bush
Hugh, I take pleasure in responding to you publicly, despite the fact that I still don't think this list is the place for this conversation. I have no idea why kids kill each other, and I don't care that your school had a rifle range, your school was most likely segregated as well, that does not mean it was right, that means that is just the way it was. Personally I was shooting a .22 rifle when I was 13 years old at Boy Scout camp, does that mean I am going to go out and attack people with it. No. And I never implied that you would do the same. Things change, ideas change and society changes. You can't solve the problems of the present and future with ideas from the past, they don't work. They are simply outdated. I don't want to get rid of the second amendment at all, because the very thought that I may own a weapon keeps the idiots out of my house. However you should recognize that the amendment that grants the right to bear arms (the 2nd) included the provision only because the United States did not have a well armed militia ready for combat, and ready to defend the citizenry should the need arise to do so, therefore it was a requirement to bear arms in the 18th century. Do I want to take away your guns? No I do not. Do I want to take away guns from children, yes I do, do I think a mandatory 7 day federal waiting period should be required on firearms purchased? Yes I do. Do I think that people who allow access to firearms to minors should be subject to the same criminal punishment as the minor who committed the act? Yes I do. Do I think you need to have an automatic rifle to defend your home, or to hunt a wild animal? No I do not. Do I want to take "gun rights" away from people? No I do not. The bottom line is this, states control gun laws, not the federal government, in the state I live in (FL) it takes less time to buy a car than it does to purchase a weapon, granted both are equally as dangerous when not used with care. However the purpose of a car is simply transportation, that is not the case with a weapon. The federal government needs to handle gun registrations and gun laws, not the states. One of my problems with Bush arises from the fact that he has openly stated "that should be controlled by the states..not the federal government" on several occasions. This leads me to believe that he is going to take this stance on most cases where the states may be involved in a decision of law, and to me that means a weaker federal government. Of course the only ads or things I have heard him say are negative comments towards his opponent, and that also leaves a bad taste in my mouth. The Republican party has spent so much effort and so much time attempting to make the Democratic party look bad (and granted the Democratic party has played right into it with thoughtless acts) that they have weakened themselves by not developing any strong leaders in the party. After this happened they turned to Bush, he has money and he has his fathers credentials (which based on his Presidency, and the state of the economy when he left office) are shaky at best, still, he is their best candidate and rather than have him (or allowing him the freedom to display some leadership initiatives) to discuss issues they have him attack Gore at every turn on a morality bent. Granted Gore has made it easy with his unbelievably inept claims, such as the fact that he "invented the internet". But at least he is sticking with issues (for the most part) as opposed to attacking Bush at every turn with a dirty campaign. How do we fix the problems in this country? I think getting away from the electoral college would be a good start, at least it would be an attempt to get the special interest groups from controlling every election and might make our votes count. I have plenty of other ideas but I think I have rambled long enough, if you would like to share your views, or you would like hear more about what I have to say, please e-mail me privately and I will discuss them with you.

Re: OT [newbie] Microsoft and George W. Bush
Hey Y'all, Before I got into using Linux I used various versions of the MAC O/S and I always found it to be somewhat unstable, the one thing I did like about it was the fact that it was not nearly as dumbed down as Windows, it is easy to use, but you still need to have some kind of understanding as to what the machine is doing. Hopefully when OS/X gets all the way (it is available in server packages) out they will somehow port it to run on Intel based processor machines, and hopefully the stability problems will be corrected, without having to compromise the ease of use. If these things happen, and the work on developing a more consumer friendly Linux product continues, Microsoft could be in for quite a shock. Of course bad news for Bill is good news for the rest of us. I'll leave the Presidential debate open for others to discuss as I think that is too far off topic for this list, but I will ask you this: Do you want a President who, up until this point is most famous for approving the execution of 2 women, and for picking his nose on national television?

Re: [newbie] linux mandrake 6.5
Your best bet would be to check the docs or to check online at http://www.linuxmandrake.org for the install guide. The install should be pretty self explanatory. Also you may want to check your hardware to be sure that your devices are compatible, there is a list (I'm pretty sure) of compatible hardware at the site on the above link. Are you installing from a cd? You do realize that this is not a program but an O/S that should be used as the only Operating System on the machine, more so if you are attempting to use it as a server. I can't imagine a dual boot machine using Windows and Linux and operating as a server. One more thing, if you are going to use the box you are installing on as a network server to communicate to Windows machines, you will want to install (and read up and and get real real familiar with) Samba.

Re: [newbie] Tech Support from Macmillan -- Personal Inquiry
Hey All, Really I think this list is a better resource than calling someone and waiting on hold for hours on end, only to hear a stock answer or a pre-written script. With this list you get real users who have had similar problems who are willing to help, not only that, rather than getting one stock or formula answer you most often get several creative options to use to attempt to solve your issues. This helps you to learn the O/S and the software for it more quickly and more thoroughlyremember this is not a MicroSucks O/S...Linux users are supposed to know what goes on behind the scenes of the O/S so that they can control it and use it to it's fullest potential. I think the whole idea of calling someone else the moment you have a problem as opposed to attempting to work through it on your own really defeats the purpose of using Linux.

Re: [newbie] Windoze
Hugh...I agree with you, Outlook is a terrible mail program I have no choice but to use it at work and keep my eyes wide open for the 2-3 viruses that I am sure to get each month. Of course when I am at home I don't really have to worry to much about viruses (thanks again Linux) In fact Windows leaves itself wide open (maybe this is how they got the name?) to anyone with a little time and intelligence to go right in and break, move, rename or destroy system files. On to the rest of the post (rant) As far as the rest of the software on that list goes...I did not know they made a software (Fritz 6) using my name...pretty cool I must admit. In regards to the rest of the list, I'm sure the Linux community is kicking themselves on a daily basis for not coming up with more Ham Radio softwaremaybe they should focus a little less on the dev software, the office software and the rest of the software that 99% of what users use to focus on what 1% of the community wants. But see the great thing about Linux is (you will find this out as you use it more often as I did) that because you have access to the kernel, you can program your own software for it...you don't have to rely on someone else (like Micosoft for example) to make an application to do what you want...you can do it yourselfand all it takes is some knowledge and sweat...no hard earned dollars have to be spent, just hard earned hours.

Re: [newbie] Re: Fw: Linux
Mark, Nice response. Being that I have done stand up comedy for many years (and yes, Star Trek fans have been a constant target of said comedy over the years) I would normally respond to you with some type of sarcastic response. However, in this case I feel that would be unjustified as you have made a strong argument against what I have said and I feel you deserve more respect than that type of response might give back to you. But no matter what is said to me, or whatever type of justification is provided for it, I'll never understand why anyone would ever translate Hamlet into Klingon. And you have to at least agree with me that Captain Janeway is pretty annoying (what's the deal with the hair?) To me the funniest part of the subculture that the show has created over the years (which is somewhat understandable based on the fact that the show first showed up during the "Space Race" era) is the fact that even the actors themselves have constantly poked fun at the very same fans (and themselves and their Star Trek roles) on a regular basis. Another example of this would be the 3rd Rock From The Sun episode in which George Takei appeared. All in all I do not think the show itself was all that bad (for a weekly sci-fi show from the 1960's) however I think that the underground movement it has created has opened itself up to the torment of others. I do not belittle the individuals personally who watch the show (including my very own father who is in fact a very very loyal fan), they are people and as such are welcomed to their own views on what they like and do not. Further I do not feel their choices of entertainment are basis for making a personal judgment. This is not to say that I do not enjoy making light of the underground following that the show has spawned, because quite the opposite is true. I just find it very funny (and somewhat frightening in respects) when a science fiction/fantasy television show creates such emotions and loyalties in people that they will be willing to sacrifice large amounts of their lives to following it and to learning it's idiosyncrasies. Perhaps society would be better served if people would use their time to advance and learn of their own culture, rather than to completely immerse themselves into a world of fantasy. I recommend (if you have done so already) that you read the book "We" by Yvengy Zamyatin. It provides a much more specific and detailed commentary on the loss of culture and of the assimilation of the individual into the general consciousness than I could ever provide in an e-mail. In some ways it has an interesting parallel with the same subculture of which have been speaking. Fritz - Original Message - From: Mark Weaver [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: F. E.

That's just the buggieness and crashfullness (a word? : ) of Netscape. The only other real competition to Netscape right now is Mozilla. It doesn't support Java yet, but everything else works fine. You can download the latest milestone here: http://www.mozilla.org/projects/seamonkey/release-notes/ However Mozilla doesn't support SSL "out of the box" (you have to download a program from a third party) so if you don't want to mess around with that and want to be able to browse secure sites, you should just download teh Netscape 6 Beta, which is based on Mozilla. You can get that here: http://netscape.com/download/previewrelease.html But remember that it's still in Beta, and still has quite a few bugs in it. But it crashes less then N4.7 for me, so I use it. Somehow, for some unknown to me reason, Netscape randomly closes /all/ its windows. For example, when I close one of six open windows (+Messenger), Netscape is gone altogether. The same *randomly* happens when Messenger ask me to enter me e-mail server password... Is there any way to amend it? What other browsers are there capable of JAVA, frames etc Thanks! -- Anthony Huereca http://m3000.1wh.com Computers are not intelligent. They only think they are.
