I agree with others… Don’t dwell on it. Enjoy your pre-40’s. Once you hit 40, your body will rebel and you’ll wish you were in your 30’s yet again!
I’ll tell ya what, I really wish 90% of the world would “switch” so that Apple would be the “Great Evil” and then they would get the brunt of all the “Monopoly!” complaints and as you imply, get all the virus attacks! Apple would be blaimed for all the virus’ floating around and would have to consider “forcing” updates on their users!
Sheesh!
What I find really amazing is all the Apple people completely forgetting that back when Apple Mac was really big (Mac 128K era), Mac’s were getting twice the number of virus’ that IBM PC’s were. I can remember quite well having to clean many a Mac at the Hospital I worked at due to a virus that spread when a floppy was inserted into the machine. It’s nice that Apple folks can forget so easily…
Don’t dwell on it, enjoy it. The older we get, the more introspective we are. Trust me 10 years from now, you’ll wonder why you wasted 5 seconds thought on it. Quick..grab something with small print and rejoice in the fact that you don’t need bifocals. Yet.
You my son have four more years until the fun
begins.
That’s when you recounting the losses and the wins.
So just be patient Evil One and think along the way,
36 years ago I was with you on that happy day.
36 was rough on me, too, initially. But then, that’s the year I married Kim, so it turned out for the best.
Ummmm..I showered today. Yeah, my day was chock full of excitement.
Oddly enough, I miss those types of meetings…
For those without a Bible handy…
1 Corinthians 2:14 :: New International Version (NIV)
1 Corinthians 2
14 The man without the Spirit does not accept the things that come from the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him, and he cannot understand them, because they are spiritually discerned.
Yeah, that’s the same statement your professional “psychics” and UFO Nuts like to make as well. One of the best ways to counter criticism is to claim the person making the criticism isn’t capable of understanding what he’s criticizing. Convenient to be sure, but a cop-out at best.
I’ve always been partial to counter the citing of 1 Corinthians 2:14 with yet another Bible verse: Proverb 14:15 which says, “The simple believeth every word: but the prudent man looketh well to his going.”
Absolutely right, margi, IMHO.
I understand perfectly, I just do not agree. The bible is a book written by men, interpreted by men, reproduced on printing presses built by men. All of the stories in this book were accounts given by...you got it, men.
Have you ever played that game where a classroom full of people whisper a message from one person to the next and when you finally get to the last person the message is usually so horribly mangled that even the basic message has been lost? Now imagine playing it with billions of people over two thousand years. You obviously have more faith in mankind than I do.
Posted on 08/19/2003 at 06:06 PMI haven’t noticed any speed issues. It seems plenty fast to me. I do have a pretty uber-gaming box though so that may be part of it.
Come on guys. Are you going to argue the God thing forever? Either you believe in God or you don’t. If you can still find your Bible, try looking up 1Corinthians 2:14. It’s not your fault if you don’t understand.
I have to agree with you; the two latest big worm/virus/variant/scares were blown way out of proportion by lack of patching that was already available.
However, I am a bit of a freak when it comes to internet security; I try to not allow any software to “automatically” download or install anything on my computer—including Microsoft. I also try to read up on the latest “fixes” before I install them. Sometimes the “cure” is worse than the “disease.”
So, I will keep visiting and downloading myself.
There really is not excuse NOT to.
Posted on 08/19/2003 at 12:01 PMI believe Fox news now thinks that the power grid was brought down by two squirrels fighting over a bag of circus peanuts. At least it hasn’t been ruled out yet…
Posted on 08/19/2003 at 11:07 AMI suppose it’s also possible the aliens are just messing with our heads. I can just picture them in their space ship laughing their asses off, or whatever they have that come close to an ass, nudging each other and saying “Look! They’re trying binary code now!”
Jeez. Clearly the “circles” represent plates, and the REAL message is “eat turkey.” Now THAT’s good advice!
You ever notice that aliens, angels, and ghosts all seem to have the same message? Be free, love one another, be good, eat your Wheaties, blah blah blah.
It makes me think that supernatural forces everywhere spend their lives watching Dr. Phil, and if that’s the case I’d prefer to be alone in the universe.
Catholic Priest Arrested For Stealing
CLAY COUNTY, FL - Investigators arrested Catholic Priest Moises Palaroan on Monday for allegedly stealing more than $400,000 dollars from his church and friends reported the Associated Press!
Palaroan has been the head of the St. Williams church since 1996. Parishioners say over seven years he has helped build the congregation and the youth group. They say they were shocked when they learned that he was arrested and accused of taking money from the church.
However, the catholic Diocese did an annual audit while Palaroan was on sabbatical. The audit revealed thousands of dollars missing from the church and checks that Palaroan had written to himself.
The State Attorney’s Office says Palaroan wrote checks to himself. Investigators say he also misrepresented himself to get loads from friends.
Parishioners say they will continue to stand behind their priest no matter what, even though the money they gave to the church may have been misspent.
Representatives from the Catholic Diocese say that Father Palaroan will not be able to function as a priest in their diocese until the criminal investigation is complete.
The 52-year-old priest is now charged with grand theft. He remains in custody in Clay County on $100,000 bond.

Posted on 08/19/2003 at 06:14 AMWell, yeah, but that’s because they didn’t know. I can’t blame the guy for being honest (which is rare in this administration it seems) because, hey, they didn’t know and didn’t want to speculate. Probably because he knew as soon as he did start speculating the news media would short-stroke it all over the place.
Doug, I’m looking at figuring out how to skin the site and when I figure it out I’ll bring back the previous design as a skin you can choose. So they’re not gone forever. I still have coffee mugs and clocks available at my Cafe Press store with the old retro style on them if you want one.
Margi, the secret lies in CSS. It’s a lot easier to do than you think. You can basically use CSS to alter what any of the standard HTML tags do when you use them.
I did see the head of the Dept of Energy in an interview I believe was on Fox on Sunday. He was asked if this could of been an act of terrorism or a hacker..and he said “we don’t know what the cause was.” So of course they zeroed in on that...and he just continued to say “we don’t know”. Not a reassuring answer.
Posted on 08/19/2003 at 05:17 AMDon’t these companies usually have a disclaimer saying that ‘continuous supply of electricity cannot be guaranteed’, or something to that effect?
I totally and completely love it.
One of these days I’m going to figure out how to make the blockquote show up as boxes like the very cool blue that you have going on. And I want to add several other things, but I have to do it myself. The hard way. Screw it up so badly that when I fix it, I feel like I learned something.
It’s the way I learned HTML, I guess I have the “sink or swim” learning brain.
Or something.
Anyway....I totally love it, Les. Muy bonita!
I’m trying Thunderbird. So far I like it, but noticed one thing. when I type an email, it seems slow. Not sure why. Thanks for the link.
This is great. But I am going to miss those little retro people ...
I’m waiting for them to blame Clinton.
Yeah, but it makes my wife feel better. Sometimes a guy has to make some minor sacrifices so his wife will be happy.
Like the new layout, but…
The original pic was much more evil.
The current one, just doesn’t scream “EVIL!” the way the other one did.
If you like this kind of technology news you shoud subscribe to Jeffrey Harrow’s news list - http://www.TheHarrowGroup.com - well worth the time spent reading it.
Lil Pygmy Sharpton is not as “seasoned” as Je$$e Jack$on. Although he hasn’t YET cut the throats on his own race like JJ YET, it will work out well for him as long as he sucks Hillary’s shit while they both room together in NY. Maybe they could both get married once Billy dies of AIDS or some other STD. I can just imagine ugly-ass Hitlary screaming, “On your knees NOW AL-Ley Cat, You been BAD. Now Ol’ Hil’s gonna show you how many MARXist stripes I can welt across your fat smelly ass. And when I’m finished, crawl your lazy ass down to the corner and PREACH how great Mama is to you..And get me a paper too---BOY. And if you see JE$$E J., tell him it’s been awhile and to cum right up--I’m waiting.”
Please oh great and wise John...relay unto us feeble mortals the absolute truths. I wish to thirst not, but drink in the abundant well of knowledge that is John. I eagerly await the virtual world, nay galaxy of knowledge thou shalt deliver unto us. Be cautious brother John, yes cautious my hale friend, for it is written when you believe in things you don’t understand you suffer. It would cause me great pain to know that a kindly Christian gentleman, which you obviously are, would have to suffer.
I also caution you about being so judgmental Friar John, for it is also written that he who judges shall not judge lest he be judged by a judge...here come da judge...here come da judge…or something like that.
I believe that even if that young girl had been stabbed in the stomach while she was being eaten by a shark and being hit by lightning, there is no way she could have gotten pregnant from oral sex. For one, since stomach acid (HCl) will eat through metal, I doubt those little wiggly fellas (sperm) could have survived. If not for the lining, the acid would eat our stomachs up! Wow, that almost sounds like “intelligent design!!!” Second, it’s a little implausible that a girl who is prepped to give oral sex isn’t prepped to do the “horizontal mambo”! I would put that one in the “Urban Legend” category.
Definitely a difference between them. Thunderbird is entirely separate from the Mozilla browser/news/composer project...as is Firebird separate from Mozilla browser (Firebird has functions that Mozilla standalone does not have natively available).
As far as mt.cgi goes it’s because the code is written IE-specific (or rather, code that mozilla and opera and Safari don’t support yet..okay okay that makes it IE only).
The issue has come up with the mozilla team, but looks like there is no hurry to support it since it’s not standards compliant coding (it takes advantage of IE code, again).
If six apart would just look in to it there is code that works on both moz and IE (I searched, found it, and incorporated it in to my home-grown blogging scripts...it works just like mt.cgi does under IE). I suppose a decent MT hacker (like the gals over at scriptygoddess.com) could do it.
They got it to play tic-tac-toe. Pretty slick…
Posted on 08/18/2003 at 03:30 PMNo kidding...is ‘Tha’ short for ‘that’, which of course makes me wonder if he is referencing the 1966 series ‘That Girl’ (http://www.techedlab.com/thatgirl/tgseason5.mp3) with Marlo Thomas (picture Gangsta running through the streets holding a large floppy hat to his head so it does not blow away and kicking up his heels in a flowing dress, throwing his baby-9 into the air...).
If that isn’t it then just how lazy do you have to be NOT to stretch your finger an inch to hit the right letter? He used the same number of letters so there was not abbreviation going on to save precious typing seconds so why not ‘Thu’ or ‘Thi’, roughly the same sounds, same number of letters, and more importantly still misspelled (hence it is still gangsta-cool). Hell, why not go mediaeval on our asses and type ‘Thee’, he could set some mean pipe hitting Moors on us who could then to go to work with torches and pliers.
Okay, now what was this about when I started?
Like Dick Cheney doesn’t have this technology handy already. Honestly, what else could he be doing in Underground BioLab #53-K but turning himself into a supercomputer or cyborg?
Yes, I admit I don’t understand the ramifications of this development.
Posted on 08/18/2003 at 02:40 PMWhat’s pathetic is A) the laughable name you’re posting under and B) your attempts at punctuation and spelling.
Yeah, I’m going to take criticism from someone calling themselves “Tha gangsta” seriously.
all of you are so pathetic. i dont know why you complain. do something to make the world a better place. and if you are doing something, do more because its not enough. no wonder all of you hate God, its because he brought you here. but you dont want to go back either. so youre stuck and all you do is bitch about indecision. thats the life of american trash.
Yeah, I may tweak it a little yet. Not sure if three columns is the best way to go. I need to donate to Blogrolling so I can break the size of that list down a bit. Or move it to a separate page or something.
colors pretty. layout confusing. maybe it’s cuz I’m used to the stuff on the right being on the left....
You call yours a design?
Posted on 08/18/2003 at 09:49 AMI’ve read in the past someplace that there have been modern examples of “virgin” births. One case involved a teenage girl who had recently engaged in oral sex with a boy and was later stabbed in the stomach with a knife. She survived the attack, but wound up pregnant when the ejaculate in her stomach spilled into her torso after being stabbed. I tried to find a web reference to this, but haven’t been able to locate it. Snopes doesn’t have it listed as an urban legend, but the validity is still questionable. Still, I can see where something such as that could happen and would technically qualify as a “virgin birth” with a rational explanation for it.
Given the time period the events in the Bible are supposed to take place in I wonder how anyone from that period would be able to tell one way or the other whether or not a particular event would qualify as a virgin birth.
Considering your own webpage, the irony in the above statement is almost overwhelming.
Heh, you’re just jealous of my ruggedly handsome good looks.
Fuck. If I wanted to see your mug, I’d… wait, I would never want to. This design blows choad.
What if a woman never had sex and then gave birth.
This would clearly be a virgin birth.
But what if she had sex, had a child naturally,
then gave birth later with out having sex.
She wouldn’t be a virgin, but it would be a non-sexually procreated child.
Maybe we need a new scienfic term here.
Para-quasi-virginoidal birth.
I think that these polls should have an “incredulous poller” function. It would go something like this:
Q: Do you believe, literally, in virgin birth?
A: Yes.
Q: (furrows brow) Really? You’re not going to hell. Come on now. Really.
A: Sure I do.
Q: Wow. OK.
Hopefully, the incredulous poller could reduce the numbers to the 60% range.
Bastard!
Hello, my name is Lilly and I would just like to let you know that today i have been on the John Edwards show and it is truely something that was intense. Some ofr the things John said were things noone knew except for me. Yes I was very skeptical on going on the show and even now I am still very skeptical. COuld the producers of known info prior to me or could of John just been playing with my emotions because of all my bereaved ones. But now I know after thinking about itr all day is that I am truly happy that I went and I do believe even if it is not real the way that I feel AND THE COMFORT THAT I have is amazing I just thought you should know that
aaaaaaaarrrrrrrggggggggghhhhhhh! You had to point us at that din’t you Les - yeah - right like I have the time to play this - right you SEB!
That’s interesting because I run Moz 1.5a and use it for everything except accessing mt.cgi (it doesn’t “see” the buttons for I, U and B for some reason). Now I’m assuming that Thunderbird is jusdt the mail portion of Moz extracted and compiked to run seperately, but I don’t find he junk filter working all that well for me. I use SAproxy and Moz junk filter and between them I’d say they get about 98% of SPAM but when I turn SAproxy off Moz misses quite a few. I wonder if there are some differences between Thunderbird and what comes as part of the complete Moz package?
My God The Evil One really is my own flesh and blood, just a little uglier than me!!! The picture proves that!! Seriously(if I could be) As a dial up there was just a momentary delay and yes I agree the new design is eyecatching and Unique!!!
