Or, Another reason Microsoft is evil. My stupid Windows NT machine at work just munched three gigabytes worth of mp3s -- including all of my Robyn/Soft Boys mp3s. They aren't where they were, they aren't in the Recycle Bin, and suddenly I have 3 GB more free space than I did this morning. I'm not sure how it happened -- I just tried to delete ONE file, and suddenly a dialog box was flashing filenames faster than I could read while the mp3 folder displayed in NT Explorer rapidly emptied itself. I frantically clicked cancel, saving some mp3s, but most were already gone. (The one time this machine has done anything quickly....) Note that I did NOT have the "remove files automatically upon delete" function enabled. Did this happen because I accidentally moved a whole 3 GB folder to the Recycle Bin instead of just the one file? Does it delete files automatically if the Recycle Bin is too full? If so, wouldn't it be a WHOLE FUCKING LOT MORE SENSIBLE to refuse to move that many files to the Recycle Bin in the first place, instead of deleting stuff without a confirmation dialog?

Now I know that this is my word here and you don't have to take it or treat it anyway as creditable, but I am a comanding officer in the army. not senior one just a first lieutenant. I know what are the procederes and the orders in the IDF. under no circumstances an Israeli soldier would be ordered to kill or wound a civilian. Some of my friends who didn't refuse, who are serving and are there now. they are telling me that they suffer losses and risk themselves in order to avoid hurting inocent civilians. now, I stick to my opinion, that there is no enlighted and moral occupation. no moral action within any town or populated area, yet, ther is a big difference between IDF soldiers and commanders (you can call them terrorist, I don't care for semantics here) and Palestinian terrorists. No Israeli force had come to a palestinian town in order to kill as much civilians as he can. most palestinian resistence tough, is based solely on this aim. I can think on other differences that disappoint me on the other side (i/e/ the palestinian one) in the early 80's when the Sabra and Shatila massacre took place, 400,000 filled Tel Avivs main square demanding an investigating comeetie that would send Sharon (then minister of security) home. we succeded. Now there's a large movment of soldiers who refuse serving in the territories, at least once a week we protest and go marching against occupation and towards peace.

What do you suggest that we should do? sit still? we didn't start this armed conflict. Arafat did so in the course of negotiations. how would you deal with violence directed towards you? The main excuse for doing so was that they didn't think Baraks offer concerning the solution in Al Aqza/temple mount, and regarding the right of return were satisfying enough. I thought we should offer more too. Barak didn't. but other members of his govenment would have. If it wasn't for that armed actions the palestinians took, Sharon would have never been elected. But that course of action was a clear sign that their leadership doesn't want an agreement now. They prefered an armed conflict knowing that as the weaker party, they'll gain more power by international public attention. > But especially not an existance or right to exist principle based on religion > or folklore. All religion is folklore or at least soon to be, right after > it is replaced by the latest new age mystisism. This is preaty much like the right wing Israeli, before the Oslo agreement. Basicaly you think that the demand for the right of return which is purely based on folklore shouldn't be granted to them, niether the Al Aqsa mountain which they claim the right to beacause of thier beliefe that Muhamad, transfered to heaven from this spot. As for my self I respect their belives, and respect thier folkloristic wish to return. people over there are going around with big key's of houses they left in the 1948 war. Just to remind you, that war started when at least 5 arab countries (Egypt, Syria, Jordan, Iraq, Lebanon) invaded Israel on the day it was declared and recognized by the UN. This happaned after the Zionist leadership accepted oficcialy the UN resulotion to devide this country into two. a resulotion Arab countrys and Arab local leadership (They didn't thought themselves to be a seperate Palestinian people back than), resented. I respect their folklor and their religion. but you that basically think that no reson for them to come here, nor to get hold at their religious warship places, why do YOU think we should have give up when they started shooting, and don't have the right to defend ourselves? I guess you know That 80% of the population of Jordan is Palestinian by nature. this two countries had one people inside them, the current Palestinian people is defined solely by the folkloristic resistence to Israel when it was established. I, as I said, respect that. for me, the fact that people here call themselves a nation, and have common folklor believes and desires, is enough to want and wish to grant it to them. But your opinion is much like Sharon had 30 years ago, therefore I realy don't understnad what do you have against Israel as you know it today? or is the problem is not with the existance of Israel but only with 'the WAY YOU know' it? and last note - I agree with you ergarding the extreamist but that the way it is, it's easy to set fire, all you need is a match, putting it out is a completly different story. all the best.

In fact, I just recently switched over from the "premium" service to the "local basic" service, because my little cable company - some wee, small-time outfit called Lime-Horner or Time-Warner or something like that (doubt you've heard of them) - kept jacking the rates up. They even charged me $8 to come out and switch the service. One would think this sort of thing would be covered under the monthly subscription costs, or that one should at least be able to reduce a subscription without a fee. All the so-called "premium" channels I got (MTV, CNN, VH1, Comedy Central, Fox "News", etc.) made money by selling commercial time to sponsors - so I decided I didn't need to pay $30 more a month to receive them. Honestly, the only thing I really miss is the "Daily Show." I plan on getting myself some sort of outdoor antenna and weaning myself off of cable completely at some point, whenever I can get around to it. I suppose summer would be a perfect time. >it seems >like they have a virtual monopoly in their local areas. if you get a >dish, you >don't get the local channels. One company has an actual monopoly on "cable" in almost any given area, true. But, if you're including other forms of "television program delivery," then ideally local stations are broadcast over the air, so they should be even more readily and cheaply available than satellite. >there's something scarey about getting your >cable from at&t and paying big bucks for a service that they provide by >running >wires underneath our public roads. Even scarier, the existence of these poorly insulated wires running all around and under your neighborhoods, wires which leak signal, worsens the over-the-air reception of stations broadcasting in your area - causing more and more people to subscribe to the costly alternative to free TV, because the picture quality can be so much better.
