Well, that depends on who controls the media. In the US the people certainly don't control the media -- it's controlled by the huge corporations that own it and the government that regulates it. THAT'S the source of any misinformation you get from the allegedly "left-biased" or "liberal" media. That's a fact! No Frank these are not facts they are your opinion just like Dave has his opinion about illegal operator on channle 6. No, it's fact, and history is loaded with examples that prove it. The US government regularly uses mass media, both foreign and domestic, for disseminating misinformation. They can even do this even by their silence; i.e, by omission. Refusing to keep the US updated on the Ohio recounts sends the message that the issue is less important than Martha Stewart getting second prize in the prison bake-off. And the corporations that own the media outlets regularly use them to influence public opinion to favor their own agendas, the most blatant and recent example being the Sinclair group's push in the Bush campaign. And until Dave can provide an example where one of the allegedly illegal operators he allegedly heard was found guilty, got an NAL, or even admitted his guilt publically, then his allegations are nothing more than his opinions, not facts. ----== Posted via Newsfeeds.Com - Unlimited-Uncensored-Secure Usenet News==---- http://www.newsfeeds.com The #1 Newsgroup Service in the World! 100,000 Newsgroups ---= East/West-Coast Server Farms - Total Privacy via Encryption =--- |

: snip Why not broadband Frank? When I figure out how to hook it up with Win 3.1 I might look into broadband or DSL. But the problem isn't the connection or the connection speed -- it's their outsourcing of newsgroup service and their server can't handle the load. The subscribed connections are either too few or have low priority. Cheap *******s. ----== Posted via Newsfeeds.Com - Unlimited-Uncensored-Secure Usenet News==---- http://www.newsfeeds.com The #1 Newsgroup Service in the World! 100,000 Newsgroups ---= East/West-Coast Server Farms - Total Privacy via Encryption =--- |

Frank Talk about cheap *******s you are still using win 3.1?? hell you could have at least upgraded to Win 3.11 for workgroups ... LOL Nothing wrong with windows 3.1. Its a hassle to add networking to 3.1. At least it doesn't have all the BS that microcrap added to their later versions. And a hell of a lot more secure. ----== Posted via Newsfeeds.Com - Unlimited-Uncensored-Secure Usenet News==---- http://www.newsfeeds.com The #1 Newsgroup Service in the World! 100,000 Newsgroups ---= East/West-Coast Server Farms - Total Privacy via Encryption =--- |

Most of newsgroup servers that ISP's provide suck... need a copy of 3.11, e-mail me.. I'm already running 3.11 (and ME if I flip a switch, but I only use that to log onto secure sites). So you figured out how to set up DSL and/or broadband on 3.11? ----== Posted via Newsfeeds.Com - Unlimited-Uncensored-Secure Usenet News==---- http://www.newsfeeds.com The #1 Newsgroup Service in the World! 100,000 Newsgroups ---= East/West-Coast Server Farms - Total Privacy via Encryption =--- |

You're down there in Texas, right? So what's this I hear about Houston being declared the city with the fattest people in the US? If you think that number of ice cream and pizza places, weather, and number of sporting goods stores are good ways to measure if a city is "fat" or not, then sure. This "study" by Men's Fitness Magazine -- basically the men's version of Cosmo -- is little more than junk science. On the other hand, the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) did a more scientific study where BMIs from a sample size of the population were considered. I don't know why that one gets no publicity, while the junk science does. The top cities are a little different. http://www.obesity.org/subs/fastfacts/cities.shtml And here are a few comments from today's Houston Chroncle: http://www.chron.com/cs/CDA/ssistory.mpl/front/2979999 "One minute Mayor Bill White debunked Men's Fitness magazine's methodology for labeling Houston the nation's fattest city, and the next minute he announced a new wellness initiative to combat the label. 'It's calculated with voodoo and fraud,' White said of the rankings of 50 cities across the nation featured in the magazine's February issue. To determine the rankings, the magazine staff does not actually weigh anyone, but examines 14 elements of city life, including the number of fast food and pizza restaurants. 'The rankings themselves are flawed,' White said at a City Hall news conference Wednesday. He questioned the fairness of not counting delis as fast food places in New York or Chicago, but counting Smoothie Kings as fast food places in Houston. Results of the creative formula differ from the findings of more official medical research, such as that from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention." So I would take the Men's Fitness rankings with a grain a salt. Well, maybe I wouldn't even give them that. It's just a marketing ploy to sell more magazines. |

It's that darn left-wing media again, ignoring the facts and pushing their socialist agenda of selling magazines. So what pinko-liberal company owns Men's Fitness? |

. com: snip Yes its easy. Hmmmm..... When you order your installation kit for DSL make sure you get the package with the older style modem in it. What do you mean by "older style"? Throw their installation software away. Buy a D-link DI-604, hook your modem to it, put your login and password in the PPOe of the router. Point your 3.11 system at the router. Thats it.. I'll give it a shot. ----== Posted via Newsfeeds.Com - Unlimited-Uncensored-Secure Usenet News==---- http://www.newsfeeds.com The #1 Newsgroup Service in the World! 100,000 Newsgroups ---= East/West-Coast Server Farms - Total Privacy via Encryption =--- |

You have networking running on your 3.11 system now? Nope. I guess I'll have to if I want DSL, huh? |

If you are denying my claim that there are illegal stations on channel 6, then by simple inverse logic, you are claiming that there are NO illegal stations on channel 6. That isn't inverse logic, that's illogic invoked by yourself. Once again, since you are displaying an uncanny sense of self-cornfusion, the legality of stations on channel 6 was never the issue. The only issue was the manner in which you claimed you could tell they were illegal. That's Dave -- he grabs a logical fallacy that sounds good and won't let go come hell or high water. Tell me then Frank, where is the "falacy" in my logic? I stated that there are illegal stations on channel 6 based on my own empirical observations. Twist claimed that my statement is "bull****". So if my statement that there are illegal operators on channel 6 is invalid, then you are making the statement that there are no illegal operators on channel 6. If you are merely objecting to my method of determining the status of those stations, I would be glad to engage in a technical discussion with you as to these methods.

Nice rig, although many people claimed that they had "problems". From what I remember, it was only the first production run that had the problems. You know the people for whom I speak of. Maybe you could tell twist, since he obviously doesn't seem to believe me. BTW, I agree, tweaking idiots used to be fun "back then". But today, it's hardly worth the time. Sometimes it's more fun tweaking the idiots here........ Dave "Sandbagger" |
