For cancelling c/a/t live at sanctuary because you weren't willing to take the risk that the 100+ people who wouldn't show up normally show up at skizofrenia WOULD actually show up. This living room c/a/t show kicks ass!

for real, if you side with KBR Haliburton or the 30 Republican senators that voted against this amendment. . .

I'd like to know why. . .

There are only two possible justifications for voting against this amendment:

1. If the amendment was attached to some totally unrelated larger bill which you were against, and, and the only way to vote against the bill as a whole was to vote against this amendment (which happens in many cases).

2. if the wording of the bill was too vague or open to massive abuse (the "unintended consequences" issue).

HOWEVER, in this case, you could vote for the amendment and still vote against the main bill (which is actually a DoD spending bill anyway, not the sort of thing Republicans are going to be against as a rule), and the actual, full text of the amendment is VERY specific and narrow (bottom right of page S10069):

Sec. 8104. (a) None of the funds appropriated or otherwise made available by this Act may be used for any existing or new Federal contract if the contractor or a subcontractor at any tier requires that an employee or independent contractor, as a condition of employment, sign a contract that mandates that the employee or independent contractor performing work under the contract or subcontract resolve through arbitration any claim under title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 or any tort related to or arising out of sexual assault or harassment, including assault and battery, intentional infliction of emotional distress, false imprisonment, or negligent hiring, supervision, or retention.

In other words, it specifically covers:
--Violations of core civil rights
--Rape
--Assault
--Torture
--Kidnapping
--Knowingly (or being criminally negligent about) hiring sick, sadistic, twisted rapist/murderer types

These are all criminal actions which have absolutely NO business being dealt with via arbitration, which is intended for disputes over intellectual property, compensation, nondisclosure of corporate secrets, that sort of thing.

In addition, this amendment doesn't force the companies abandon contracts with these provisions--it simply says that the Federal Government of the United States refuses to do businesses with those businesses that continue to do so. Halliburton is still free to do business with other corporations if they wish; they just lost their single biggest client, that's all.

In this particular case, there are exactly zero legitimate reasons to vote against it. Christ, they could have at least abstained or something (for the record, 2 Democrats didn't vote at all due to illness or scheduling conflicts).

Grr, my brother is getting married saturday in Salt Lake, which means Natalie and I get to drive to Salt Lake on Thursday night. . . which means, I get to be doped up on cold medications the whole time as I just seriously started showing the symtoms of the nasty ass cold that's been going around the office. . .

WASHINGTON — The FBI is investigating the hanging death of a U.S. Census worker near a Kentucky cemetery, and a law enforcement official told The Associated Press the word 'fed" was scrawled on the dead man's chest.

This was supposed to end up in this thread. . . http://maxmin.livejournal.com/728976.html but it ended up here. . .

==================================

Regardless of how much I want a [minimum of a] public option, I think they'll [Congress & Senate] get it through the door and passed into law regardless, public option or no.

and then over the next four years, amend and append it to be what Obama and the progressives want, ESPECIALLY when the 2010 elections come around and the republicans lose more seats as the "Party of No"

So in XP I used a handy little utility from microsoft called synctoy to keep my mp3 directory on my pc synchronized with the mp3 directory on my file server.

SyncToy is not compatible with windows 7 as of yet. . . : /

this sent me on a search for a utility by which I can keep the data in the repositories synchronized.

Theres not a whole lot of free stuff out there, and what I did find, well frankly, sucks. . .

but then I found a reference to robocopy. . .

it's like xcopy on steriods with network support.

It's been part of the windows system forever. . . how did I not know about this ever before?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robocopy

VERY handy. . . robocopy d:\mp3\ \\delta\Music /MIR /Z

I can create a batch file, run it as an administrator, and schedule it to synchronize the folders. . . and I never have to look at it again. . .

Wow, I dig this alot. .

Windows 7 in Conjunction with Server 2008 R1 takes all of 5 minutes to have a pptp VPN up and running, it *JUST WORKS* I'm VERY impressed. I can also now access my file server from anywhere without daisy chaining connections into my house. . .

This was a total freak accident taken out at Red Springs the other night with Natalie. . .

the bat actually touched her face as it flew by her head just after the photo. . .

well with the exception of Kris' netbook. . .

the whole house is now running Windows 7 or Server 2008

I *REALLY* love windows 7

AND

I was able to upgrade my Build 7100 RC1 Ultimate Machines to Build 7600 Professional without any issues.

The gaming rig is humming along nicely, the slowest item in the windows score is the 10K RPM Western Digital Raptor. . .

um, guess I won't be increasing the speed by modifying *THAT*

I finally found some time, and just wanted to thank everyone who showed up for the Marching Dynamics/Cervello Elettronico/Fusionwerks show this last Saturday at Vector. It was a blast and I was happy to see some of you participating in the theme of the night. Those of you who couldn't make it for whatever reason were missed and missed out on a great show.

A huge nod of appreciation to the bands, to Jim our sound guy, Becka and James for working the door, to the venue for letting us put this on, and to everyone from California, Chicago, and elsewhere who came out showed up and had a great time.
