AMD naming conventions in Personal Computing JoeUser Forums

I was out computer shopping today. Not because I need a new computer... No, the 700Mhz flood surviving box I got from Greywar is clicking along just fine. It runs Fedora Core 2 now, and a fine specimen of an OS that is, too. No, I don't need another computer. However, MicroCenter was having a sale, and if I had opened a new credit card and had the patience for rebate

The art of making enemies in Current Events JoeUser Forums

Something odd has been going on lately. Case #1. T. Shiavo is dying by judicial order in Florida. I know I'm a bit late to the game here, but it occurs to me that the State has no real interest in her death, but it might be in the State's best interest to not make mortal enemies of her parents. Now it could be that the Schindlers are docile, gentlepeople

Reply to How To Keep Your Kid From Surfing For Porn in Home & Family JoeUser Forums

I think filters are fine if your kid isn't actively searching the stuff out. Weblocker is a free one, and works well for us. Also if you want to go hardcore and not trust the brains behind the filters, you can make a white list of the sites that will be allowed through. Everything else gets blocked. ... until they ftp in a different browser. ... anyhow.... Our rule is that if the kid wants to be on the internet, it has to be in a "public" part of

Reply to Leadership Policies and Sex in the Barracks in Business JoeUser Forums

I agree with Spc Nobody Special. I remember a time in 1223 walking down the hall and hearing (through a closed paper-thin door) some Sgt telling his girl what he wanted. 'Course, he was sort of a noisy guy anyhow. As for the barracks in Texas, I would remind EL that the memories were more fun for some than for others. At least the walls were more sound absorbent than in Korea.

Also, doesn't Saddam bear the primary responsibility for deaths due to the embargo? Sure he does. But I really doubt that matters to the people who are looking for motivation speeches to recruit new mass murderers. I think David had a really good post. It seems fairly obvious that re-locating the I
