I very rarely copy and paste from other articles, but this postmortem was just too good to not share: Feb. 12, 2002 "As we know, there are known knowns; there are things we know we know. We also know there are known unknowns - that is to say, we know there are some things we do not know. But there are also unknown unknowns, the ones we don't know we don't
Oh and more details: SpeedFan allows you to have a deeper view of the status of your computer. Almost every computer includes support for hardware monitoring. Accessing digital temperature sensors is really useful. If you are trying to figure out why your pc hangs when under heavy load or after some hours of usage, SpeedFan might help you to find the real cause. Very often it is a poor power supply, or an improperly installed heatsink that lead to behaviours that we tend to associate w

Oh, when I "this" in the last sentence, I meant the Corruptions Perception Index. Thanks for the article, adnauseum.
The article is at http://business.iafrica.com/news/389330.htm or Link More interesting, perhaps, is the original source at Link "The 2006 Corruption Perceptions Index is a composite index that draws on multiple expert opinion surveys that poll perceptions of public sector corruption in 163 countries around the world,
What scares me most (and many things in the Middle East scare me) is the thought of a pan-Shiite state encompassing both Iran and Iraq...militant...and armed with nuclear weapons. Turn your eyes to the East of Iraq. Both Iraq and Iran are predominantly Shi'a. Iran has been accussed of sending men into Iraq. At the very least, Iran supports the insurgents.<BR

Stalin and Mao, the great Communist leaders, killed many more than Hitler. Stalin's body count is estimated at 15 million. At one point he was starving more than 25,000 people to death in the Ukraine every day. Mao weighs in at between 25 to 30 million. Can you imagine killing so many people that 5 million deaths is only a fraction? Pol Pot and the Khmer Rouge only killed about 1.6 million of their countrymen, but then Cambodia is a small country. He would have killed more, ha
Its a rainy day in Ann Arbor and my energy level is low, so for this year's blog I am going to offer some quotes: "The only thing that makes old age endurable is that the alternative isn't so great." - Abraham Kuperman (my late father) " To sail beyond the sunset, and the baths Of all the western stars, until I die. It may be that the gulfs will wash us down; It may be we shall touch the Happy Isles, And see the great Achilles, whom we kne
Deference the link is here: Link Then, as now, sex education was funded in an attempt to stem the tide of Sexually Transmitted Diseases. As Deference also noted, there is Federal funding for programs to teach and promote abstinence. So really the issue is NOT about teaching abstinence but about the right to teach about alternatives. If young pe
You said that the "Heritage Foundation's mission is to try and help with behavior instead of dealing with the aftermath of the behavior. " The Heritage Foundation defines itself as "The Heritage Foundation is a research and educational institute - a think tank - whose mission is to formulate and promote conservative public policies."

Buddha, that joke was terrible......and I thought about making it! Dharma, did you know that 5767 is anno mundi, meaning from the creation of the world? I don't accept creationism, I am a secularist, but its an interesting factoid, don't you think? Thanks all for commenting.
Oh, I needed a picture of the Shofar being blown!
Tonight being Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year, I just wanted to wish everyone a happy and healthy New Year. L'Shanah Tovah! For a sweet year. Dip your apples in honey. I included a link for anyone interested in the history and rituals.
I watched last night, my first viewing. Well-written, great dialog. I was very impressed.
Syria is a predominantly Sunni country with a secular government facing a rising tide of Shiite fanaticism. Yes, Syria has supported the fanatics with money and supplies. But did that buy them friendship? The terrorist groups don't function in an orderly manner. They are small, independent groups. If someone thought it was a good idea to bomb the embasssy in Damascus, they could just do it. Welcome to the Middle East, where today's en
BakerStreet, I will agree with the respondent above. Thank you for commenting and your writing is just beautiful.
Chakgogka, thank you for commenting and you offer some good points. Viewed as a document based on the limited knowledge of people who never left a small geographical area and who were trying to explain natural events that surpassed their comprehension, the Bible still has importance. The Bible can be viewed as having moral and historical value. Bible literalism, however....where is the value in trying to hold to what is obviously not true? The world is
My headline is a bit of hyperbole, but not too far off target. In an outdoor Mass before 250,000 in Munich, Germany, His Holiness said that science and rational thought weakens our ability to accept the religious message. "Put simply, we are no longer able to hear God, there are too many frequencies filling our ears. What is said about God strikes us as pre
I would want The Voice, the ability to get people to do what I want through spoken commands. The Preacher had this power in the graphic novel series, "The Preacher." That way I could make my sales quota. ("You bought HOW MANY licenses?!?")

I have had problems with Office 2007 Beta 2. Throws a .DLL error everytime. Are you using the MSDN Build or a different version?
I agree that the Democratic vote in 2006 will be anti-Bush, for the reasons that you have offered, but I also agree with ParaTed2k. The Democrats offer no clearly superior alternative. I think that the vote may be smaller than expected being opposed to something is less of a motivator than being in favor of something. There is NO Democratic platform of national candidate that speaks to me and gets me to say "Yes! I'll vote for that!"
I do know that Monad (the uber command-line shell) was pulled form Vista. But I think Ninntennuendo was asking about dual partitions. I think that might be possible with a partition commander. Not sure why you would want to do so. Old games? Maybe a Dos Box for Vista?
No pictures yet , Cari? Hope you have a time!
I do hope that you reconsider your blacklist of Davad70, he is bright and reasonable. I have debated with him many times, both in agreement and disagreement. But let me respond to his question, as a Jew and a lifelong Democrat. "Why should I, or any other Democrat, apologize for there being some whackos on our side?" I'm not looking for an apology, what I am looking for is a statement that the anti-Semetic views were not the views of the majority of members nor the leadership of the Dem
