Not sure I understand that question correctly.
But I don't think there is a difference.
Would it not be true that the ability to coerce is driven
and enabled by all the lobbiests who lobby as agents for
the greedy?

Its my current view that we all have desires that stem from greed; the
desire to offer our services for as high a price as possible AND to desire
other's services for as low a prices as possible. We can't wish these
results, but must participate in the market to get as close to these desires
as

I don't think this is a correct observation.
Surely it is not a true statement that we ... *all* ... have desires
that stem from greed
There are enormous numbers of people who are assuredly *not*
Would you limit greed to the pursuit of money, or would you consider the
pursuit of other goals, not necessarily wealth based greed? Who defines
excessive?

Well, gluttony certainly is, by definition, another example of greed that
has little or nothing to do with money. The extent of obesity
I would say Wal-mart is a great example of true greed. While they provide
stuff at a low price they do so by gaming the system. They require tax cuts to
build in your area and they pay the lowest of low wages. They tell their
employees to get government subsistence as part of their model.
Greed is not all about Money. For example, having an extramarital affair is
about greed.

Excessive is when the pursuit of maximizing profits and wealth harms
others or totally ignores the needs of others.
Can you point to a market transaction where one's needs are ignored? Who's
responsibility is it to ensure one's needs are met? is it the buyer or the
seller?

You point the finger at Walmart, but why don't you point to the coercion as
the culprit, as the root cause of our ills? Walmart does a great job of
ensuring low prices for its consumers. Section-8 housing, food stamps, state
funded health care are all different incarnations of the state's power of

Keith, I'm really sorry that you seem to have such a hateful attitude
toward Walmart. I don't want to pick a fight with you my good friend,
but I do feel it's important to clarify a couple things.

Thanks for the input, I'm still stuck.

Your problem is right there.
You have noexec as a mount option.
Remove it and everything should work.
noexec ? Huh? Where?
Where does noexec in /etc/mtab come from?
Since this is primarily for data storage, execution was never a concern.

In a nutshell I think Wal-Mart is a cancer. I do not agree with their business
model nor do I agree with their tactics. I think they hurt us much more than
help us. If that is a hateful attitude, so be it. I seem to stand alone in
my opinion about Wal-Mart when amongst conservatives.

If I may, you can't exploit a worker in a free market. If a worker is free
to seek other employment, then the employer can't exploit, they can only
approach the line that each employee draws between what they are willing to
do for employment and not.
It is not possible to coerce a government. You
With government subsidies in place do we have a truly free market?

No, *BUT* government subsidies are a perfect example of how government uses
coercion to distort a free market. However, subsidies only distort the free
market, they don't (usually) prevent most market forces from affecting
transactions. In this case, the major government coercion taking place is
Hello all,
I transferred a zip file off of an infected Windows machine via FTP. That
file was determined to be corrupt (after I wiped the drive of course). I
suspect the corruption took place because I transferred the file using ASCII

ChasM,
Because vfat has no permissions of it's own, but the POSIX filesystem layer
needs to see permissions, the vfat filesystem driver makes it up.
Fortunately, you can control the permissions it sets, from the machine that's
mounting the drive.
