  1. Obama has a long and difficult journey ahead of him as he attempts to improve relations with Iran. Iran's Khamenei rebuffs Obama overture
  2. Ha-ha, good one! Welcome to our forum! I hope you like it here. I'm going to move your good post to the comedy section. It is nice to meet you!
  3. I meant Armitage. Yeah, he should have been charged as well.
  4. Agreed. The only thing that Hamas respects is a show of strength. I truly hope that Secretary Clinton can achieve peace, but, I doubt lasting peace will happen. At this point in time the best we can hope for is an uneasy detente.
  5. Yeah, I could never square that either. Novak must have Darth Vader on retainer.
  6. Linkage Interesting. Maybe Cheney is worried that Libby may get talkative in the future at some point.
  7. Agreed. Any government will have its share of scandals.
  8. I think it is the configuration of a Linux system that will stymie most regular computer users. Ubuntu is going in the right direction as it makes the computing experience more user-friendly. People want to be able to turn on their units and just use them. They want to be able to plug-in their cameras, transfer music, etc. without any fuss. Most people are not nerds like us, they do not want to configure obscure settings or run shell prompts. Linux is getting there......albeit slowly:) Agreed. there are some proprietary brands of software that will not come pre-loaded on a Linux system....
  9. Good to hear, Matt! I think it is cool that Kundra stepped down to let the investigation take its course.....I hope he can resume his duties.
  10. A very creative shot, Mandy! Just voted for your picture:)

    Zomg

    Yes. Thanks,did that too. I also left directions where I keep our spare house key under the mat:-)
  12. Interesting. I'll be curious to hear what the charges are against him.

    ZOMG.....there's something wrong with my web mail account. I need to give my "complete username and password" to these good people. Heh-heh. Spammerz.
  14. Found this tool. http://kmuto.jp/debian/hcl/
  15. Thanks for the heads-up, Jeff:) Everything is good.
  16. Wonderful news!!! Stay well, marty!!
  17. Very cool:-) I also find google to be quite mysterious in the way it functions.
  18. Perhaps. But, he's the guy for the next four years. I hope he can pull this one out of the fire. Like bozodog I'm also very concerned that the market continues to slide. Canada and the rest of the World is in deep trouble if your economy fails.
  19. Don't forget that the economy was in free fall before Obama took office! Remember McCain suspending his campaign to go to Washington to save the economy? Obama has been in office for a very short time; he has a lot of work to do to correct the errors of his predecessor. Bush had 8 years to fix things.
  20. I run Debian and Ubuntu a lot at work as they are durable distros that are easily maintained. At home I run Slackware and once in awhile I'll also play with FreeBSD.
  21. I think it is going a bit far to say Obama is trying to turn the government into a socialist regime. In my opinion Obama is doing what he is compelled to do. He is not satisfied to let the private sector and the banking system sort things out on their own as the economy is teetering close to complete collapse. I can imagine what the GOP would say if Obama did nothing and he let the market collapse. With the market at 1997 levels Obama knows that he must do something.
  22. ANOTHER? I haven't filed my taxes yet, should I follow the example set by our politicians? To the IRS: This is sarcasm. A joke. I will file. I will ensure my tax burden has been met. If I do so I am told there that by definition there cannot be a Federal deficit. That would be good (though I'm not against running a deficit, just not a ridiculously stupendously large one that'll never ever be paid back). We just filed our taxes up here in Canada. On an unrelated note the bank of Canada just dropped its key lending rate by half a percentage point so I'm going to my bank and see if I ca
