Had an abortion, or know someone who has? This hot topic comes at us, in the media, from every angle. But how many of those who've gone through this process know of God's deep, strong love for them? Did you know, as a Father loves his children, His laws are designed to protect you? Did you know that while He weeps at the death of every little one, His arms are stretched out toward those who come to the Cross and ask for His forgiveness? In 1993 Joel Brind presented his thesis, "Induced Abortion as an Independent Risk Factor for...

Dear fellow (and gal) Hi Tech freepers I am looking to try to make contacts to hiring managers in these ETL vendors, beyond what can be achieved simply by submitting resumes to their HR departments (which I have already done). Informatica (Redwood City, California); Ascential (Westboro, Massachusetts); Ab Initio (Lexington, Massachusetts); Others? For most of my software engineering career of 17 years (and almost from its beginning) I've created proprietary data translation and migration software, from scratch, at a large telecommunications firm which I unfortunately got laid off from last month because the bottom fell out of that market. I've...

I am a conservative/libertarian Redneck, but I am considering the prospects of taking a job in Massachusetts (in the Boston area) but residing in southern New Hampshire. What are the politics of NH like, and what would the economics of the prospective situation be like (will I get taxed by Taxachusetts, NH, or both?) Thanks....

In the last several days, media reports have revealed that a little-known Defense Department office is developing a computer system that would provide government officials with the ability to snoop into all aspects of our private lives without a search warrant or proof of criminal wrongdoing. The Pentagon's new Office of Information Awareness is building a system called "Total Information Awareness" that would effectively provide government officials with immediate access to our personal information: all of our communications (phone calls, emails and web searches), financial records, purchases, prescriptions, school records, medical records and travel history. Under this program, our entire...

Well, I am between careers now. The large hi-tech company I was working for as a software engineer has pretty much gone on the rocks and has laid off most of its people in the last couple of years. One of the career options which seriously came to my mind is the National Security Agency. Yes, I know about Poindexter, the Homeland Security Act, and all that controversy. I predict that before Poindexter's purported plan to wiretap the USA at large will get past our legal system to fruition in any form close to its original conception, hell will freeze...

October 2002 Artifact: No Go Logo Creepy agency casts evil eye on Planet Earth By Jesse Walker Suppose you're devising a logo for a new wing of the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, an office charged with developing intelligence tools and integrating the government's existing surveillance networks. Suppose that it has a vaguely sinister name—say, the Information Awareness Office—and that it's to be run by a former Iran-contra conspirator. What would your design be? If you work for the actual Information Awareness Office, created earlier this year with one-time National Security Adviser John Poindexter at its helm, you'd depict...

This is the second night in a row that I hit the instant update button in my Mcafee VirusScan, newly installed after a hardware crash on Windows 98, and in the middle of the downloads the process froze. Then when I go to try to ping www.mcafee.com (which I could reach before the problem) it says network unreachable! I can ping other sites, I can freep, but no mcafee. Is there maybe a McAfee-DDOS-attack virus out there? (DDOS=distributed denial of service) My ISP is Ameritech (DSL).

All Freepers: I've posted a thread Should HiTech RedNeck Sue the B*st*rds??? over in "General Interest" concerning a personal matter which some of you pro (or anti) tort law political activists may have opinions about.

Got a not-perhaps-so-hypothetical for you folks. HiTech RedNeck (HTRN) was riding his motorcycle 2 years ago this June. Daytime in the late afternoon, perfectly clear weather, dry pavement in good condition. HTRN stopped to wait for traffic to clear so he could turn left at an uncontrolled intersection, and a guy driving a pickup truck smacked right into his bike several seconds later. **CRUNCH** -- and the motorcycle was impaled in the front of the truck. HTRN, though stunned, somehow hung on to the handlebars until the whole shebang came to a stop on the other side of the intersection,...

I am on Jay Sekulow's ACLJ email list and get announcements from those folks from time to time as they look for donations or petition signers in pursuing some political or legal cause that is associated with a pro-life, Christianity-friendly world view. Sekulow's emails and letters tend to be a bit melodramatic and pushy, but that hasn't greatly bothered me. As far as style is concerned I can say live and let live, as long as they are a voice for things I generally believe in. However I got bothered when I learned that when I signed one of their ...

<p>PESHAWAR, Pakistan  — Ali Ahmad was walking to his cousin’s home in Jalalabad, Afghanistan, on Sunday night when he saw something smash into the building and explode.</p> <p>"They say it was a cruise missile," he said in an interview with Fox News from this provincial capital city on Wednesday. "What I know is that the missile came flying in, and there was suddenly a lot noise."</p>

Amazingly hellfire filled link. Says it's a sin even to pray for America's good now. Furnished FYI only. I do NOT endorse content. Its counter shows 120,000 plus hits. I'd almost peg it as a Taliban psy-op, but I could well believe that a group calling itself Christian put this site up.

Sources tell TIME that U.S. officials suspect that bin Laden conspirators may have been planning to disperse biological or chemical agents from cropdusting planes Saturday, Sep. 22, 2001 New York -- U.S. law enforcement officials have found a manual on the operation of cropdusting equipment while searching suspected terrorist hideouts, government sources tell TIME magazine in an issue out on Monday, Sept. 24th. The discovery has added to concerns among government counterterrorism experts that the bin Laden conspirators may have been planning — or may still be planning —to disperse biological or chemical agents from a cropdusting plane normally used ...

The United Way has often gotten panned on Free Republic for pro-gay policies towards Boy Scouts, etc. I hail from a company which has offered to match gifts for the benefit of Sept. 11 disaster victims, and one of the "official ways" is the United Way of New York City Sep 11 fund. The description on the site seems to say that all donations will go to the benefit of the disaster victims, with all administrative overhead paid by UW of NYC. Is this what it seems to state to be. I have heard that UW has a habit of ...
