The error message is from a mailing script. mySQL query error: INSERT INTO ibf_mail_queue (mail_to,mail_date,mail_subject,mail_content) VALUES('emges@web.de',1125727458,'Forum Subscription New Topic Notification','Hallo Revan Solo! This means "create a list (called ibf_mail_queue)" of lines, each line has "mail_to", "mail_date", "mail_subject" and "mail_content". Possible Issues: there is a problem with the index, so that whenever it tries to create this list and it gets to REVAN SOLO the corruption makes it exit with this message, there is a write lock on the REVAN SOLO (tuple) record, so that it cannot be read (must be a problem, because the record shouldn't be write locked this length of time), The entire index is corrupt, and REVAN SOLO is the first account in (possibly reverse-) alphabetical order that has a "notify on new topic" configuration, REVAN SOLO might have a weird character in his account name that causes the mail program to exit with an error, OR The "notify on new topic" subroutine is bugged. So, facts are: it is an intermittent problem, always gets stuck on REVAN SOLO Next step: Examine the notifyOnNewTopic routine.

I do not condone terrorism.

If it means you were watching the Scooby-Doo movie, then yes, that is a very bad thing. :ph34r: <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I wasn't... I stopped watching Scooby-Doo once they introduced his annoying nephew... DL <{POST_SNAPBACK}> There's a new series with just the original cast again. (Fred, Wilma, Daphne, Shaggy and Scooby Doo-ooooooo!) Haven't seen much of it (just caught a moment a few weeks ago), but I think they still have "And I would have gotten away with it if it wasn't for you pesky kids!", so all seems okay ...

So what's happening in the land of Vampires, then ...? "

What's an Alpha unit for?

What does he spray ..?

That's not why they are including mouse and keyboard: the point of the enhanced human-computer interface is to allow better web accessibility.

Yes, but he's off being inducted into the ranks of planet-savers; he doesn't have time for playing games about saving the world: he's living IT!

You, and this dimmy52 person, seem to have a poor grip on the requirements of administration. You cannot go galavanting around Sith ruins AND be an effective administrator. You must CHOOSE. And not to choose means DEATH! APATHY IS DEATH!!

Did anyone actually watch the second film?

Just email it in. You'll even get writing credit. (Probably)

... The head of the Federal Emergency Management Agency, Michael Brown, said ... relief workers had opened a mortuary and were collecting corpses, many of which have been floating down flooded streets. And he warned looters and snipers in the city that they would soon be up against battle-hardened combat troops. "Idiots with a gun on a rooftop" would not be allowed to derail the rescue drive, he said. ... WTF? I thought Walter Simons was head of FEMA! :D

Submit it to the BBC, they turn such ideas into little talent exercises (that's talent exercises of small scale, not exercises of little talent) for budding media students-cum-tv-careerists.

Well, afaik, once the logical conclusions of Newton and his pesky theory of gravity had made the astrologers think quickly, they came up with the concept that (for reasons that may remain conveniently unknown) the "stars" are able to predict what happens to large sections of our communities in some sort of synchronity (i.e. some sort of galactic large-scale version of quantum entanglement). (Interestingly enough, Newton believe in astrology and alchemy. He was certainly "of his time". And a ****.)

Um, 85% of the city is underwater (apart from those sneaky French and their French Quarter, which seems to have survived! Those French!!! They KNEW this would happen!) ,including the water pumps to remove the flood water, once the lev

Thinks: Time to play Deus Ex again ... hmmm, I've nearly finished the Antarctic level ... wasn't there another Paris level in this sequel? What is the Illuminati Last?

What would we be advocating? Wearing of bowler hats on Wednesday? (I think this is already being done, but NOT-GODAMMIT-BY-ENOUGH-PEOPLE!)

I hope you aren't arguing for astrology. To think that an arbitrary group of stars (and in some cases whole galaxies), that aren't even within a close grouping of each other except if viewed from our neck of the woods, have some sort of effect or even correlatory existence, is just barmy. I always thought the modern astrologer apologists used the non-causal, correlatory excuse. So just smashing a probe into a planetiod wouldn't affect us, but it would throw off all the observations and subsequent predictions ...

I thought Hummers got <1 mile per litre. (1 gallon = 3.79 liters)

I couldn't agree more. I think (putting words into Ender's mouth and arguing the Free Speech side for a moment) that the counter position is that the airing of such a view should be accompanied by editorial comment to the effect of what the faults are and placing the alternative viewpoint simulataneously, with appropriate emphasis on the correctness (or otherwise) of the views.

Yeah, I would have thought so, too. I thought that was the point of the Patriot Act (what a silly name), too: to get all the bureaucracies talking to each other. Sounds like living in denial, or spinning out of trouble. I think this may be a turning point for Dubya; it's one thing to not expect calousness of human spirit to result in buildings being crashed into by 'planes, it's totally another to not prepare adequately for hurricanes in the Gulf states.

For the same reason it isn't fair that they argue with you. (Women have an inbuilt inferiority w.r.t. physical power attributes.)

So why did he have a problem with Walsingham saying that people who advocate removing people's rights and killing a race of people should be arrested for saying these things? Surely that logic applies there also? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> It's a semantic debate, because now (if I understand correctly) Ender is arguing that free speech is an absolute right (guaranteed under the US Constitution's First Amendment) that is inalienable. But, after making a free speech, the person can be called to task in the usual civil way (sue) but they have not committed an unlawful act in esse. I also note that the benefit of this meathod is that it can be (and is) enshrined in a lexa scripta, so there can be no misapprehension. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> The problem there is that according to those articles I posted, merely threatening to bomb someone's property is a felony, and therefore something for criminal prosecution, instead of civil law. Which would suggest to me, that even semantically, there is no difference between the US and UK's laws on free speech in this regard (other than the object of the threat, obviously). <{POST_SNAPBACK}> True. (I wonder if it is a federal or state crime?) It must be in breach of the First Amendment, unless the right isn't absolute, and there is small print.

Well the problem is: when do you start to call them a nutter organising and leading a band of terrorists? For my part, the reduction down to the individual being responsible for their own rights and defence seems to be the best method for reliability. It certainly doesn't scale well, but then a comprehensive disaster plan would probably be on a similar scale anyway, if it were effective, and it would necessarily involve a leap of faith into a trust model. (The UK is unique in Europe in not having had its instituions fail it, like in Germany with the Nazis, Mussolini's camicie nere, and the R

What's all this sharing nonsense? Don't you get dibs on whatever bit of the solar system you grab? Like Total Recall? (Wasn't Outland a great film?!) (That reminds me of the astrologer who recently file suit against NASA for crashing the probe into that comet; she complained that it affected all her predictions ... )
