Tons of useful tips for command line. I like this one : Sudo !! : Run the last command as root Useful when you forget to use sudo for a command. "!!" grabs the last run command.

I did not find this spine chilling at all. More left wing scare tactics. Truth is, Given the criteria laid out in this video, you should be no less scared of Obama as President. And, truth is, I'm not scared of either. Things are going to get worse, much worse, before they get better, and they aren't going to get better because of a U.S. President.

Bush quote: "the truth will say that this intelligence has been intelligent"

Damn McCain we lose Obama we lose! WTF? The world is ready for Armageddon one way or another! It is not just the president it is the people behind him! Look at Nanci Peloci, she acts like she is on drugs! And she is a democrat! <sad day for the whole world>

There is no doubt that McCain will use force. Why did that dude have to lead the American cities question with "Seattle"? Fuck.

I'm way more scared of Obama. We will look back at these past few years as the good old days, back when people had jobs. Ugh.

Mo: I'm pretty sure Bush said "the truth will say that this intelligence is good intelligence". That said, McCain needs to be stopped and this foolish reign of crazy, self absorbed, war mongering dictators must end. I feel sure that McCain won't be voted into office.

The thing that slows the ambitions of nations like Iran is the threat of US force. Any canidate that takes that threat off the table is destablizing the world.

@Hal- you're seriously scared of Obama? C'mon. We're in debt because we cannot afford war. Debt is what impacts the economy. That's why people are shorting the dollar.

"He will make Cheney lok like Ghandi" - Pat Buchanan on John McCain. Damn, that is quite a statement.

Who's taken the threat of force against Iran off the table?

I always worry most about economic policies, an America with a strong economy can withstand alot of other problems. Any canidate that talks about raising taxes scares me.
- Robert Hafer
@Tad that's what many posters seem to want from McCain.

I am a not US resident and McCain scares the crap out of me...
- Jan Cifra
Hafer Yeah I hear you. look what happened when Clinton raised taxes. Who wants to go back to the days of a booming economy, full employment, budget surpluses and raising wages. *shudder*

Wow. That response got totally munged by Twirl. Let's try that again. What is the alternative? Oh, right. Borrow ourselves into oblivion. We're so awesome, we've figured out a way to tax our decendants to finance our wildly out of balance lifestyle. Whatever social programs Obama wants to implement are a drop in the bucket next to an un-necessary $1-5 Trillion with a T war with Iraq. At...

I consider myself fiscally conservative in my political views and in that regard usually side with the Republicans but I just haven't been able to do it for several years now. There's a point when one has to realize that the ramifications of a liberal fiscal policy really doesn't matter when we're at war with the whole world. I'd be damned if there's another military draft without justification, a la Vietnam, and our current diplomatic posture and saber rattling is not a good enough reason...

...I take recession over warmongering any day.

Jeff, the Clinton surplus never materialized, because the economy was predicted to continue growing at the pre-increase rate, which of course it didn't because of the tax increases. Clintons vaunted "full employment" was at 6% unemployment, the rate now is 5.7%, The booming economy was the result of Reagan's fiscal policies. Clinton was leaving office just as the damage he did to the economy was becoming obvious.

iphonegirl, I would think that people on your side of the pond would remember Neville Chamberlain and what came of his efforts to avoid war at any cost.
- Robert Hafer
Bottom line on war is we need to participate with the world and not mandate. America needs to check its ego at the door and foster the relationships we have squandered.

Amazing pics. I watched it earlier today online and I will be glued to my HD tonight when it is on NBC. It was visually stunning, and the torch lighting--a must see. Simply a must see.
