And I thought the flyboy act on the carrier was disgusting. This is just revolting:
Or, and this is a real possibility, we could see President Bush giving his acceptance speech at Ground Zero, he added. Its clearly a venue theyre considering.
As if I needed another reason not to vote for Dubya.

abstinence?
So, abstinence is going to pay off, huh?
Not to imply that parents shouldn’t be taking some responsibility for this kind of thing, but can’t schools at least give some education other than ‘don’t do it’.
amavisd-new
When installing amavisd-new on Gentoo with McAfee’s uvscan, you need to install:
- Before you emerge amavisd-new (which installs clamav), emerge dev-libs/gmp, as mentioned in the clamav FAQ
- This patch to Net::Server
-
emerge libcompat
That is all.
Now it all makes sense
More Firefox
So, I’ve been chasing this annoying bug where Firefox will use the Windows Media Player 6.4 plugin instead of the WMP 9 one. Then it only gets the decoders from WMP 6.4, not all the spiffy new ones from WMP 9.
Well, seems I should have been searching the mozillazine forums more, as it’s answered on this page.
Of course, these come with their own set of bugs: #193883, #201843.
perl code
I’m working on a webform to compare the tax impacts of various levels of 403(b) deductions. And I can tell its been some time since I wrote any perl or even any web forms. But, I’m using some cool data structures:
my %monthly = (
single => [ 26767, 12392, 5708, 2567, 808, 221, 0 ],
married => [ 27175, 15463, 9838, 5396, 1858, 667, 0 ],
);
Hopefully I’ll get this figured out in the next couple nights.
Cool Picture
One of the coolest pictures I’ve seen of the USS Arizona, it’s amazing what an ‘all hands on deck’ tribute can do.

Right wing fanaticism?
Reply
Okay, I’m finally going to make a long entry. And I’m going to leave comments on. If someone who is among the backers of Dubya, could you please explain how the following points from Hugh Hewitt mean that John Kerry is a bad man?

Firefox frustration
In trying to roll out the new Firefox 0.8 to our student sites, I went searching for an unattended install method. Most modern apps support this, and it makes how we distribute applications MUCH easier. Hell, even GAIM and the windows port of the GTK support this.
There does appear to be rudimentary support for unattended installs, once you grab the exploded archive out of the temp directory (this is common practice). Flip a couple strings in the well commented CONFIG.INI file, and should be ready to go. NOT! It still pops a dialog asking where you want to install to. So much for unattended. There is a bug report about it, maybe it will get fixed.
Give Blood!
Alisha met all the ‘important people’ at Carle today for her new job, and I had to go pick her up when she got done. We decided to stop in and see my grandmother, who has been in and out of Carle and Hoopeston hospitals since just after Thanksgiving. (She’s got a CDIF infection that she just can’t shake.) She looks much better than the last time I saw her a couple weeks ago.
And then we gave blood. Have you recently? I highly recommend it.
