[My 2nd attempt at creating a feature article for my blog -- the 1st was interrupted by a system-wide joeuser.com crash. Coincidence?] The origin of my pseudonym, sunwukong, is the character Sun Wu'kong (most popular English spelling) from the Chinese Buddhist/Taoist classic, Journey to the West . He's also known as (translated into English), t
I just personally feel that Kerry was not a likable candidate on a personal level. His wife turned lots of people off and so did his VP choice. <TABLE cellpadding

Can't you see how defensive and childish you seem when you flout world opinion. We didn't really care if Germany wanted to el
I think the Onion said it best: Link
A hardware firewall isn't always necessary. Small locations with relatively low bandwidth (incoming and outgoing) requirements can easily get by with a middle of the road solution: a dedicated firewall server. In this case I'd pick a modest machine with OpenBSD (or FreeBSD for those who just can't bear to sacrifice any performance and have the time to tweak). Workstations with direct access to the
Sun - have you actually read the Economist? It's not even a close call. I used to be a subscriber (couldn't really afford to continue timewise) and have been a semi-regular reader otherwise -- a regular one online. In the spectrum of journals I read, it belongs mostly on the conservative side o
I think the cover I displayed earlier from a year ago makes that pretty clear. Actually, not at all. The Economist's position has always been that it would be a shame if the leaders depicted on that cover (Bush, Blair, Howard and Aznar) lost their governments solely due to their support for the Iraq war
Calling the Economist conservative is lke calling Harvard conservative. I find this pretty disingenuous -- everybody who doesn't agree isn't "conservative".

For me, it is my life that I saw first hand. Deny it all you want, But you are just being foolish. Walk a mile in Paul Galanti's sh

Reply By: drmiler Please feel free to include such irrelevent tidbits like: " Possibly reproduced by an agency of Hoai Huong District Party Committee" [emphasis mine]. I doubt the VC were communicating in English via typewritten memos -- it's obviously an intelligence document. How accurate is the
The Economist has an interesting set of articles covering the election: Link Though I'm not always in agreement with them, one of the reasons they're one of the few news journals that I'll read is that they're at least competent at exposition and are willing to take the time and effort to provide the details and basis for their thesis.

FWIW, a lot of this "treason" talk started with an article by Thomas Lipscomb in the Jewish World Review: "John Kerry's anti-war group coordinated activities with Viet Cong and Hanoi" ( Link ).

As a fellow Canuck but happily still here in the Great White North, here's what I'm hearing/seeing from the folks up here: - the current US government (administration plus the two houses) has *not* made the world a safer place overall by either his actions or policies, e.g., - not enough follow-through in Afghanistan vs Al Qaeda and the warlords - a war in Iraq based on false pretenses - an unbalanced approach (when any atte
Unfortunately, the last tax bill passed ( Link and Link ) seems to be a mish mash of corporate favouritism.
One point: all of the latest cases of Ricin being used against Americans have been by other, disgruntled Americans. Are you seeing proportional improvements in security against the domestic terrorist?
Draginol: Most conservatives prefer one set of rules for everyone. Tax cuts? Across the board for everyone. I'm too cynical to believe this of anyone -- I doubt that anyone in the position to be heard on tax cuts has proposed one that doesn't favour their own economic class above others. Tw

Draginol: I wish you'd post a bit more context (e.g., stats for #1) or expand your thoughts (e.g., why no means testing on #5) in your recent posts. 1.

Something's been bothering me for a while now ... If Bush is a firm believer in the success or rightness (depending on how the individual ranks one over the other) of his administration's choices and the American public shares these beliefs, then why isn't he playing up his whole administration more as, "elect me and you'll be getting this whole team." If the policies themselves have some cachet, then shouldn't the people responsible fo

Ok so it's just like medical costs wherein the copay is there and the out of pocket expense is there too but it's just making no sense I'm not sure how it works in the US, but most dental associations publish a fee guide that forms the basis for bill
Lets start with, I dunno *Norinco's* products? NONE of which are allowed to be shipped into the US! This is called a non-tariff barrier -- there are few of these in the G8 relative to overall trade traffic. The trade deficit occurs when the US balance of imports/exports favours imports.
