[quote seggle]I’m australian so i wont be voting in your election but if i could i would vote obama too, although i dont know anything about the mionr parties or their candidates.

As a side not i think the US has the most drawn out money spending election races. Our recent federal election process lasted a month.[/quote]

There are no minor parties. You get to choose from column a or column b.

We don’t have a coalition system.

It is actually hard to define either party as they are sub-divided into groups with particular interests, and neither party is completely true to the ideals the state in their respective propaganda.

I think what it boils down conservative and progressive… though both sides demonize the other.

One popular tactic during election years is to “galvanize” the user base — meaning that since the religious right votes republican republican politicians will make Gay marriage a big issue knowing that it will get the user base out to vote (even if the politician doesn’t really care about the issue) other republican hot buttons are abortion and tax related stuff (saying dems will raise taxes for the upper class…etc)

Dems do the same with universal health care, and lowering taxes for the middle class

Both just serve to motivate their respective voting base.

Republicans stand for “fiscal and social conservatism” which means they believe the Government shouldn’t go into debt, spend when it doesn’t have money, nor allow certain progressive issues like gay marriage or reproductive rights (choice for abortion)…

However GW Bush has brought our country to recession and spent billions of dollars on a questionable (at best) war… So I really wouldn’t take the current administration as an example of republican ideals.

Dems are more concerned with social issues: Universal health, heavy taxation of the middle class… Civil liberties (Gay rights, Abortion rights…etc) Privacy (Against the patriot act..)

If Obama wins the dem primary he’ll have my vote… otherwise I’ll probably sit out.

No, ia64 is the build for “Itanium” (aka “Itanic”) chips.

If you want to run a 64bit build of Debian you should download and install the amd64 iso’s — for both intel and amd even though it has “amd” in the name. The reason is that amd actually popularized 64bit instructions on consumer cpu’s first, and intel eventually had to license this technology from them as software companies (Microsoft) did not want to support two incompatible extensions to x86.

You should also think about installing Ubuntu linux. It’s based off Debian and uses the same package management (apt-get), but has newer versions of things, and is a little easier to install.

This is where you are just full of fail. They couldn’t understand the genius of it. It made too much fun of itself for them to really get it.

Blade Runner was indeed a good movie.

It’s hard to find. Can sometimes be found on “Comcast on Demand”… it’s in short supply.

Update:
I’ve fix the bug that prevented new posts from being “auto tagged” — this is what made it seem like notices were not working for tags.

I think that about does it — all the migration issues should be worked out — so I’m going to close this in a little bit.

Update:
Changing your avatar is now fixed, and also browsing peoples previous avatars.

I’m looking into reports that notices aren’t working correctly.

Ok, I fixed the issue where users were not being deleted from the “active” chat user list.

There is one bug with uploading/changing your avatars, that is next on my list.

Thanks for your understanding everyone.

Just marked it off — thanks for helping with the testing! Appreciate it.

That is a YouTube thing…

OK the “\\\” issue has been fixed, there are reports of chat failing to refresh, looking into that next.
