I'm not sure about this but I think your individual computer's IP is longer than what is visible to others on the internet and if you trace what'svisible to others you will get the address of the ISP, not your residential address. I'm assuming Scott traced the IP on an e-mail he got from Baltimore how else would he have got the IP? Anyway I just checked the IP in my outgoing emails and it could not be traced to my residential address only to the ISP's address. I'm on DSL but my residential address still cannot be found out with a IP trace. I've tried.
If I may, one has to think like a leftist here. Dean was not implying that OBL was president of Iraq. He was stating that our president had tied OBL to Iraq erroneously. Just wanted to clarify.
Thinking like a leftist would require me to flush part of my brain. :) Actually though, if you read it in context, Dean confused Osama and Saddam accidentally. Hence, Bush continues to propagate the "lie" that Osama Bin Laden supported the terrorists that attacked the United States.
I'm sure AS just didn't want to impose
Yep. Andy didn't want to burdan poor ol' Gore with his problems or put a strain on a treasured friendship. That's just the kinda swell guy Andy is. The big lug. <./DUmmie dupe>
"had Columbus not had a conspiracy theory to go on he would have never colonized the Americas "
conspiracy theory ?
Actually, my individual IP is the conventional 4-octet IP address. It's just behind a firewall, and the actual IP might be one that's assigned to an Internet-facing server that is somehow being used to get to the outside world from where I am. Not sure; I have to confess that since I have spent most of my professional life supporting a non-Windows OS that had precious little to do with IP addresses outside of a specific subnet, this is all pretty new to me. But from what I do know, the thing Scott said simply didn't jibe with the facts that I have at my disposal.
I think we know what he meant, but it's hard to know for sure. He misspeaks so often, I find myself almost feeling sorry for him sometimes. He just doesn't come off as being very bright. I can't believe the guy through med school.
I also have traced my IP and it just traces to my ISP and I am doing this from home.
"Commission said also wasn't true, is the insinuation that the president continues to make to this day that Osama bin Laden had something to do with supporting terrorists that attacked the United States. "
He stated that OBL had nothing to do with 9/11. OBL DID have something to do with 9/11. Dean made a mistake.
Oh no, the DUmmies definitley do not know better.
I lived in the heart of Minneapolis DUmmieland for almost 20 years and they bought this garbage hook, line and sinker.
In their minds, everything is a conspiracy.
The day Wellstone's plane crashed, a guy in line behind me at a store said, "Everyone's pretty grim down at the co-op. We know THEY did it."
September 11th and the Wellstone funerally revealed my neighbors' attitudes fully. Glad I finally got the heck out of there.
I did some research a while back and women were the fastest growing group being infected with HIV. Some of this can be traced to their own IV use or being with an IV drug user/bi-sexual men, but...there is also a segment of the population that is trying to live a straight life and infecting their female partners this way. How do I know? I saw in on Oprah :-) It's called living on the lowdown, or something like that. Scary stuff.
I am a leftist and I read it twice to make sure. Maybe we'll just agree to disagree on this? I won't take your comment personally :-)
I don't want to hijack this thread, but would love to discuss this with you on another occasion. Dean didn't make a mistake. Peace.
OK, good to know. Thanks for the info; that makes sense.
Good call!
conspiracy theory ?
C'mon, you know. Conspiracy theories! Like Newton's conspiracy theory about gravity!
(Gotta love those DUmmies!)
