The White House Criminal Conspiracy

Is lying publicly to make a case for war more heinous than lying about a blowjob? One writer for The Nation believes so and she’s got the goods that show why impeachment is the only road for President Bush.

The White House Criminal Conspiracy
Americans may have been unaware of this deceit then, but they have since learned the truth. According to a Washington Post/ABC News poll conducted in June, 52 percent of Americans now believe the President deliberately distorted intelligence to make a case for war. In an Ipsos Public Affairs poll, commissioned by AfterDowningStreet.org and completed October 9, 50 percent said that if Bush lied about his reasons for going to war Congress should consider impeaching him. The President’s deceit is not only an abuse of power; it is a federal crime. Specifically, it is a violation of Title 18, United States Code, Section 371, which prohibits conspiracies to defraud the United States.

Even if you’re a Bush supporter you really need to hear out the arguments brought up in this article. Very interesting to say the least.

Tech Jobs Look To Be Hot In 2006

If you’re thinking about a new job in the tech market in 2006 there’s something you should know, you’re in high demand.

Contrary to what some would have us believe most IT/Development jobs aren’t going overseas. In fact, relatively few are as Computerworld fooudn out.

Computerworld
Despite the notion that hordes of U.S. IT jobs are being sent offshore, in reality, less than 5% of the 10 million people who make up the U.S. IT job market had been displaced by foreign workers through 2004, says Scot Melland, president and CEO of Dice Inc., a New York-based online jobs service. The numbers of jobs posted on Dice.com from January through September for developers, project managers and help desk technicians rose 40%, 47% and 45%, respectively, compared with the same period in 2004, says Melland.

In fact, an exclusive Computerworld survey revealed that two of the top four skills IT executives will hire for in the coming year are perennially linked with outsourcing, namely, application development (ranked first) and IT help desk skills (ranked fourth). Information security skills ranked second, and project management came in third.

Building A New Machine

Since the old PC is dead I’m ready to start building a new one. Well hey, that thing lasted 7 years with an old P3 866 and was a tried and true work horse.

For my new PC I’ve decide to open up the 64 bit can of worms and go with this AMD processor and Gigabyte Mobo from PC Club with 1gb of RAM to start. I know… I know… I could find it cheaper online but that wouldn’t allow me to take it back and I have no patience for shipping at this time of the year.

Though it doesn’t offer PCI Express, I felt this board offered the greatest amount of forward and backward compatibility.

If anyone has any recommendations on video cards, I’m willing to listen.

Mistaking Style for Design

“Many young web designers view their craft the way I used to view pop culture. It’s cool or it’s crap. They mistake Style for Design, when the two things are not the same at all. Design communicates on every level. It tells you where you are, cues you to what you can do, and facilitates the doing. Style is tautological; it communicates stylishness. In visual terms, style is an aspect of design; in commercial terms, style can communicate brand attributes.” ~Jeffrey Zeldman

Why AMD-MHz Doesn’t Equal Intel-MHz

Geek.com has a great article on why not all processors are created equal. It’s worth reading. Take a look.

Geek.com : “…for an Intel processor to add A to B and store the result in A, it has to do 20 or 31 things. For AMD to complete the same workload, the processor only has to do 12 things.

This is why an AMD chip operating at 2.8GHz processes data faster than an Intel chip running at 4.0GHz. Even though the Intel chip is going faster in MHz, it is doing less work per clock cycle. This results in more clock cycles being required to produce the same results, and therefore its net output is something less than the MHz value alone would indicate.”
