Possibilities for the slow down include:
a) Black robed shadow cabal
b) Joos
c) Ron/Rand Paul
d) Sekret muslims
e) Nescafe

Well, I e-mailed the lady two hours and fifteen minutes ago, and have heard nothing.
I’m supposed to call in to the phone interview in twenty-five minutes, and I have no other phone number for her.
This is going to be awkward.

I think this will be dealt with/discussed in the interview. Might work out just fine.
In any case, no fear, no worries.

BTW, just a bit of info. A very old trick that makes it easy to edit webpages on the fly in the browser:
[Link: www.quickonlinetips.com…]
Just tried it, works in FF and Opera.
That means that any screenshots are really worthless. Not that it wouldn’t have been possible to fake any screenshot, but this trick makes it as easy as typing a few words.

Well I just finally saw The Green Hornet with my family… considering that I’m way too young to have much knowledge of the character going into it, I thought it served as a nice tongue in cheek opposite to Christopher Nolan’s batman movies which are also very good.
Anybody else here see it?

“what’s making the web server run so slowly all of a sudden…”
This is a time slowing trick brought to you by Jesus. With the rapture due on May 21 (at least I get Beltane!), the Savior has slowed the Internet down so we may enjoy each others company for a little while longer.
BTW, for all you rapture folks, I’ll take all your shit you won’t be needing. Please hit me up with what you have.

Brits bungle SAS mission in Libya
The mission was error-strewn from the beginning, when a helicopter carrying the team of seven SAS soldiers and MI6 officer landed in Benghazi without warning the rebel commanders - causing the insurgents to think they were coming under attack.
The team then aggravated the situation by claiming to be unarmed - which only made their predicament worse when their weapons were discovered.
A senior British diplomat was on Sunday night unwittingly broadcast on Libyan state television pleading for the release of the group.
The troops and their Special Forces escort were detained by rebel security forces on Friday after arriving in the early hours by helicopter.
The seven SAS soldiers and MI6 officer touched down 20 miles from Benghazi, the eastern city where the rebels have their headquarters. They were taken to a nearby compound where local witnesses said warning shots were fired.

She was interviewing for a new job with a “conservative” Jewish advocacy group, IIRC. As such, they have a “no interdating” [Jews dating/marrying outside the faith] rule for their staff. As SFZ is married to a Gentile, she get put oout of contention, regardless of her credentials.
It sucks, but they may be within their rights to do so…G-d help them if they take any federal funding, in which case, they’re cruising for a lawsuit, IMO.

I may be speaking out of school here, but it seems that “conservative” Jews (as represented by SFZ’s [formerly] prospective employer) and “conservative” Christians (as represented by the various wingnuts we read and write about here daily) have more in common.
They all seem to be shooting for “purity”, of one sort or another.

Correct…I think policies and views like SFZ’s (formerly) prospective employer are meant to “encourage” Jews to date and marry within the faith (as not to “dilute” it).
As a (presumably) private organization, they can do what they want, but I think it’s archaic and blows goats.

Actually, that’s not quite true. Laws against this sort of thing exist in many places (And yes, they apply to hiring and firing by private organizations), but when the Supreme Court decided Boy Scouts of America v. Dale in favor of the BSA, they created an exception that allows this kind of thing under the right conditions. Since this is a Jewish organization (And assuming it doesn’t get federal or other government funds), it’s likely covered under that ruling.

Since a few days ago I’m getting obligatory previews for comments both in the frontpage articles and in the pages.
No problems with posting in the articles, but in the pages there was a problem: the comments posted there after the obligatory preview started going into ether. The problematic part clearly happened before I was hitting the “post” button in the “preview” mode - the preview page in the articles mode had the title of the article, while the same page in the page mode lacked the title (just as the comments posted in the pages mode lacked the title when seen in the LGF Spy).
I don’t know if it’s my settings, but after having installed another clean-slate FF, several minutes ago I posted normally in marjoriemoon’s page, then the commenting failed again in researchok’s page ( the address was [Link: littlegreenfootballs.com…] ), then it worked OK again. Dunno.

Muslim women look at a man in a T-shirt (R) showing his opposition to the proposal of building a mosque near the World Trade Center site, near the “Today, I Am A Muslim, Too” rally in New York City March 6, 2011. The rally was held in response to the upcoming Congressional hearings led by Peter King (R-LI) to protest the targeting of American Muslims and Arabs.
The “American Dining” sign on the left is a nice touch.

Creepy smile too. I just watched some video of the rally. A lot of the usual deflection and avoidance from leftists and Muslims about police state, surveillance and blaming Muslim terrorism of American foreign policy. All the stuff we used to criticize on the old LGF. I wish we could find an angle to discuss this more without attracting the anti-Islam bigots but I just don’t think it’s practical. The counterjihad nut cases have poisoned the well. King’s hearings on radical Islam are going to be an ugly sham and the spectacle will only provide cover for the terrorists and their enablers.

Ah, now I get it. Sergey, you must be blocking Javascript at LGF, probably with NoScript. You were encountering an obscure bug in the non-Javascript ‘fall-back’ version of the comment-posting script.
I fixed that bug - but you should really set NoScript to allow Javascript to run at LGF. You’re missing a lot of nice features without it.

Believe me, I know about that to an extent, being a Scouter. I don’t particularly agree with National’s stance on gay members, but as an assistant Scoutmaster (with a gay brother), I’m hoping that those stances will loosen over time as more people realize that being gay is not a disease or an affliction or an abomination before G-d, but a result of biology.
The ban on atheists is a stickier wicket, as the organization’s foundation is built upon the explicit belief in a Creator and the expression of such, but I hope that enough people will open their minds to the fact that not everyone believes in a Creator; it its my opinion that every boy (and girl, as Exploring and Venturing units can be co-ed) can be helped by the structure and programs Scouting provides.

I would hope that the Scouts, and others, realize that just because someone doesn’t believe in a deity doesn’t mean they can’t have a ‘religious’ attitude towards life.
The world’s a wonderful place deserving respect and awe, and other humans are the most important things in the world, their well-being of tantamount importance. Whether or not one believes that someone who’s nature we cannot know even if we believe in him had a part in creating that, and creating us, seems very beside the point.

I don’t know if this helps because I’m a little foggy on exactly what it means, but for the main articles page YSlow reports (spaces added to stop the comment form from automatically turning the URLs into links):
Grade F on Configure entity tags (ETags)
There are 8 components with misconfigured ETags

The thing is, I’ve tried disabling all javascript, all CSS, and all images, but it doesn’t seem to help much (disabling images helps a little, but that’s normal). Those are the only things YSlow seemed to take issue with.
Thinking it might be a problem in the could, I also ran tracert form my machine to LGF and the only delay was at one of the hops in Dallas (and that disappeared on the next attempt). Checking LGF using alertra.com errored out once when trying to reach LGF from Atlanta, but I just tried it again and it seems fine:

re: #91 talon_262
Believe me, I know about that to an extent, being a Scouter. I don’t particularly agree with National’s stance on gay members, but as an assistant Scoutmaster (with a gay brother), I’m hoping that those stances will loosen over time as more people realize that being gay is not a disease or an affliction or an abomination before G-d, but a result of biology.
The ban on atheists is a stickier wicket, as the organization’s foundation is built upon the explicit belief in a Creator and the expression of such, but I hope that enough people will open their minds to the fact that not everyone believes in a Creator; it its my opinion that every boy (and girl, as Exploring and Venturing units can be co-ed) can be helped by the structure and programs Scouting provides.
Well, I’m not going to claim to be an expert historian on the BSA, but my understanding is that early scouting organizations in the US were basically secular institutions and the religious aspect (Which I don’t believe is found, or is not found to the same degree, in scouting groups in other countries) was added a bit after that due to the leadership that came in as the BSA as it is today began to pull together. That aspect has since then grown and taken root and many of the groups are funded/run by/run out of churches.
I suppose my question would by…why does it require the belief in a creator? I guess the BSA in many ways, to be blunt, disgusts me. It claims to be about moral character and working together and all that, but it really comes off to me as little more than yet another religious organization that wants special treatment (Boy Scouts are special and need to be funded. And woe be to you if you really want to start a more inclusive organization with the same basic goals). I compare this to the Girl Scouts, which while not perfect, take a much more accepting view of things. *shrugs*

Girls and Women in general tend to be more accepting than males when it comes to differences. I remember that, when I was younger, guys would pick on me because of how I acted with the Autism. On the other hand, women would make sure I was doing ok, and would hang out with them. Most of my friends today are women.

I doubt it. The site would be unreachable form anywhere if it was a DDoS attack. Even when it was timing out for me and I couldn’t reach it at all with my browser, tracert was still able to reach it, as was the Alertra.com test from multiple geographic locations.

I’m not going to disagree with a lot of what you’ve said, but I will say this: Any fundamental changes at National in regards to gay/atheist membership has over 100 years of dogmatic inertia and people’s perceptions to overcome. It would take a top-to-bottom reimaging of the entire organization, from the membership structure (from National all the way down to the unit level) to the Scout Law and Oath, to, in my opinion, bring Scouting fully into the 21st century.
It doesn’t mean that we have to abandon the things that make us great, but we should always be mindful of our fellow humans and how we should help each other.

Don’t forget to repeatedly cycle the power! Although that actually works more often than many people would think.
I remember my parents had a scanner that stopped working. Like, 6 months go by and it still doesn’t work. One day I’m sitting at the computer, finding ways to avoid doing my homework, as usual, when I just stare at the green power light on the front of the damn thing. It comes to mind that I don’t recall seeing it ever go off. So I reach around, unplug it for a few moments, put it back, press the scan button, and voila! I’m pretty sure my parents were more interested in why I wasn’t focused on my school work, though…

Oh, I understand that it wouldn’t be a quick or easy process. I guess it just seems that every time I hear about the Boy Scouts, it’s about them moving in the other direction. Granted, I probably only hear about the ugly stuff and not the positive steps, so I won’t pretend to know what’s actually going on.

Working with sometimes several fairly complicated and interconnected programs, I know what this can be like.

hmmm … there is some male related humor in here …
I Sniff, Therefore I Am. Are Dogs Self-Conscious?
The study lasted five winters. (“This was a labor of love,” he says.) Bekoff timed the sniffs and discovered “that Jethro spent less time sniffing his own urine than that of other males or females,” suggesting that Jethro recognized himself when encountering his own yellow deposits.
Does this amount to a test of true self-recognition?Well, not exactly. Recognizing yourself in a mirror seems more telling than smelling traces of yourself in the snow. Bekoff cautiously describes his finding as evidence that dogs have a “sense of mine-ness”, that they know this pee belongs to them.
“The experimental test for that quality of self-awareness in dogs does not yet seem to have been worked out,” he says.Dogs will have to wait till someone invents a better test before scientists can declare them self-conscious. Not that they seem all that bothered. Maybe they’ve achieved a higher level of consciousness already.

re: #152 Simply Sarah
I’m actually going to sorta be in that boat soon, as the other programmer in the my area is leaving in a couple of months to move out to the west coast, since her husband got a job at Microsoft HQ (Well, it won’t only be my own code, but I’ll be basically the only one making changes). Certainly pluses (No more >:( at new things being coded in a way I don’t agree with), but also minuses (No one really to bounce things off of, I’ll be the only developer left to be called on about things with my area, and any new problems will be my fault).
Yeah, not having anyone to bounce things off of is definitely one of the downsides of being the sole programmer. I’m lucky that I have a great boss who’s very forgiving, but it’s still tough sometimes. In addition to web design/coding & PHP/MySQL, I also do print design—logos, business cards, newsletters, etc.—and it requires a massive shifting of mental gears to move between them. Buy, hey, at least it keeps me from being bored.

As someone who dabbled in libertarianism in the early 2000s, it is very easy for an otherwise intelligent person to get wrapped up in the theoretical side of the ideology and to strive for ideological purity in all things, especially when commenting on internet forums. Once you take a step back and consider how the world actually is you realize that libertarian theory is not much more than mental masturbation and you move on.

Average Salary of a Catholic Priest.
As of Nov. 5, 2010, the average salary of a Catholic priest for advertised openings in the United States was $40,000, according to Simply Hired. Yearly compensation from area to area varies widely, however, swaying as wide as $29,211 in Phoenix to $44,566 in Miami during 2010, according to Salary Expert. The Bureau of Labor Statistics’ Occupational Outlook Handbook notes that a priest’s take-home cash earnings may be significantly less—less than $20,000.

I don’t have a problem with some libertarianism. On some specific issues I have a libertarian streak myself. That’s why I was careful to qualify it with ‘some’.
I think I figured this particular guy out though. He’s young and has just left the nest and is discovering that the world isn’t just about him and that in the real world he has to live with other people and isn’t entirely ‘free’ to just do whatever his heart desires. So he’s latched onto this ‘gubermint’ controlling me and us thing in an extreme way. That it’s only the gubermint that is forcing everything. Rather then understanding that when you live with groups of people that some rules both official and unofficial are made to ensure some modicum of fairness and safety for everyone. He’s convinced himself that if there were no driving rules people would just all drive safely and well anyways…cause people are all decent and it’s the gubermint that makes people bad.

The internet is not a friendly place to those that aren’t prepared (and sometimes not to the ones that are). This is why when I’ve had people tell me they DMZ with *no* firewall whatsoever, I just sort of stare at them (Or the screen, if it’s someone online).

re: #234 Killgore Trout
Idiots are painting themselves into another impossible corner.
This is from his (David Simpson) campaign website:
Statement of Faith
Though the Texas Constitution prohibits any religious test for holding a civil office, it does require the acknowledgement of a Supreme Being. Our forefathers believed in liberty of conscience and religious liberty in particular, but they also believed that humanity was subject to its Creator. In light of this constitutional requirement, and so that you may know what my basic convictions are, I have included this statement of faith below.
Natural Revelation
I believe that God has revealed himself in nature. This natural revelation is the source of what is referred to as the “Laws of Nature” in the Declaration of Independence. It is also the basis for the concept of the “rule of law.” This is especially important for our nation and state where civil servants swear an oath, not to men, but to the Constitution, which acknowledges the preexisting principles of justice and individual rights of human beings given by God. In fact the Constitution was established to protect these principles against arbitrary decisions or actions of an officeholder or even a majority who would violate “the rule of law.”
Redemptive Revelation
I also believe that God has revealed himself in the Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments and in the Lord Jesus Christ, who is his eternal Son of God and the Savior of all who come to him in faith. I trust him as my Lord and Savior.
Creation and Providence
I do not believe that the universe is an accident. I believe that God created all things for his glory and that history is the unfolding of God’s all wise and glorious purpose.
Human Dignity
I believe that humanity is the crown of God’s creation, being made in God’s image. Because of this amazing distinction from all other creatures, the life and liberty of each human being is sacred. Human dignity and sovereignty, under God, are rooted in individual human beings and not social groups or associations or races.
Worship and Stewardship
Moreover, I believe God made us for himself — to know and enjoy him8 and to be stewards of his creation. Simply put, mankind was made to worship and to work. Because man is free and accountable ultimately only to God, true worship cannot be coerced; it must be voluntarily offered in faith according to one’s conscience informed by God and reason. This is the ground for religious liberty. And because work is re-creation and utilization of the resources and creatures which God made, the creation should be used, enjoyed and conserved wisely for humanity and God’s glory. This is the ground for private property. The fruits of our labor are an extension of our lives.
Continues.

re: #251 Gus 802
Part 2…
Purpose and Limit of Civil Government
Humanity now is corrupted by sin. God’s image is still integral to humanity, but the likeness is distorted in varying degrees, and human dignity is mixed with depravity. Man’s actions which harm other men must be checked by force to preserve human life and liberty. I believe that this is the legitimate role of civil government — to do justice and to protect individual rights of life, liberty and property. Civil government, otherwise, should leave us alone and free.
Civil government must be limited, lest it take away the rights of individuals that it was instituted to protect. Civil magistrates, if granted excessive authority and opportunity, may act merely in their own interests and at the expense of the people whom they are to protect.
Finally, I believe that local self-government is the best form of civil government. Local self-government made our large and diverse country a great nation and it is essential that it be preserved or we will lose our freedom and the union.
They really need all of that for a politician in those parts? Cripes a mighty.

In some ways, I think things are getting better for the employee, at least in the programming field. My understanding is that the demand for coders is starting to actually strain the available numbers, although some of that may be related to the fact that, quite honestly, coding isn’t for most people. Not that they can’t do it and do it well, but that most people really probably don’t want to do it as a career.

That is exactly right, IMO.
I was a computer science major before I switched to biology. I love programming and taught myself C and x86 assembly. But I realized that programming as a career meant lots of overtime and probably sleeping under my desk during crunch time. And then the realization became that I’d probably be doing that while working on some really boring productivity software or something - rather than the types of programs that interest me.

Are doctored screenshots detectable under forensic examination? If I’m trying to protect the reputation of my site, I’m going to have some random noise-looking bits in my page that encode the date and time stamp or something. Then, when somebody comes and says that thus and so is a screen shot of my site, we can just go to the file and look for those security features. Knowing they’ll be there shouldn’t enable forgery, because the exact details will vary in a dizzying fashion and only someone with the key will be able to write authentication features into the forged screen shot.

There is a lot I don’t buy, but it is familiar and get’s me thru.

And you’re entitled to think whatever you want, as am I, however neither one of us is holding a political office. Considering the rhetoric that has been directed at Muslims lately, a long statement about someone’s faith when they’re in a position of political power makes me uncomfortable.

This. Obviously, everyone thinks their religious beliefs (or lack thereof) is the “most correct”. What sort of fool would claim to believe something he considered less correct? When you start shoving your “most correctness” in other people’s faces is when the trouble starts.
I haven’t seen any Jewish or Muslim politicians with special pages for their statements. Or any Catholic politicians making statements about the Holy Roman Church being the “most correct”. Hell, I know Charles is an atheist, but he has no special statement page declaring such.

No hostility was intended. My father was a white, Christian male too, so I’m well aware of the benefits (and sometimes unintentional blindness) of being such. I loved & respected him tremendously, and he me. He thought that if I was “raised white”—his words and something he insisted on out of love and a desire for my well-being—then everything would be good, but he was unable to comprehend the reality of what it was to be a brown-skinned “Meskin” looking child growing up in South Texas in the 1960’s.

Hmm, then it’s just weird. I had (and have) everything allowed in NoScript specifically for LGF, and it all worked very well before a few days ago - and I could swear I didn’t change anything… (at least I don’t remember it).

I run NoScript as well. For this site I allow lgf and addthis.com and everything works fine.
