WHY DOES
SMALL BUSINESS VOTE CONSERVATIVE?

WHY DOES
SMALL BUSINESS VOTE CONSERVATIVE? 06/18/2004 01:09 PM

Time for another of life's imponderables. Both in Canada and the US, family farmers and small business people have, in recent years, consistently voted conservative, and show every intention of doing so again this year. This makes absolutely no sense: Most farm states and provinces are net recipients of government largesse (i.e. they receive in equalization payments and services more than they pay for, subsidized by the more urban and more liberal states and provinces). And even though in the past 20 years conservative governments have spent more than liberal governments, that money has largely gone to tax cuts for the very rich and defense spending, creating huge deficits that small farmers and small business people have to repay in taxes, and receive almost no benefit from. I talked to a few local farmers and small business people to try to find out why they vote conservative. This small sample may not be representative, but what they told me was: They perceive liberal governments to be based in, and focused on, the big cities. Even in the suburbs this anti-urban feeling is strong, and translates into an anti-liberal (rather than pro-conservative) vote. They are very proud people, who like to think they are independent and don't need government help. So a liberal saying he's going to provide more assistance for small farmers and small businesspeople might actually be insulting them rather than wooing them. To those that have never lived through a depression (or learned its lessons), government handouts "encourage laziness". Small business still buys the 'free market' myth, whereas big business knows it's a myth and perpetrate it strictly as a power lever. They really have no idea how government works, where the money goes, how they benefit from it, or how bigger corporations benefit much more than they do due to various government subsidies. The concept that tax cuts = service cuts, and that big corporations are at least as inefficient as big government, is lost on these guys. They don't understand that it's they who have to pay for that inefficiency, in inflated consumer prices and in taxes for big corporation handouts. Quite aside from economics, they are socially conservative, as Lakoff defines the term. Homosexuality frightens them, liberated women frighten them, immigrants frighten them, government frightens them. They are terrified by crime (and, by extension, 'terrorism') and see it as a sign of moral decay, in black and white terms. They know in their hearts that you can't turn back the clock, but emotionally they want to, and that nostalgia and fear is a powerful weapon that Republicans and Conservatives are using to their advantage. Many people vote with their hearts, not with their heads, a lesson most liberals still haven't learned. Yesterday the US House of Representatives passed a Republican bill that would give $140 billion in tax breaks to "businesspeople and farmers". Who benefits? "Companies with foreign corporate profits, timber companies, oil & gas drillers, movie studios, wine distributors, manufacturers of bows and arrows, and tobacco farmers". The rest of us, including small farmers and small businesspeople, will foot the bill. But I'll bet that if small farmers and small businesspeople are even aware of the bill, they won't be outraged and might even be more inclined to vote Republican because "it's pro-business". And the Democrats, whose Southern flank supported the bill because of the tobacco subsidy, are really in no position to shout foul. In a country with only two parties both feeding at the same trough, the rich & powerful win and everyone else loses. In Canada, which has five parties to choose from, the 'first past the post' electoral system undoes the benefits of party pluralism. With the three small parties all socially liberal, Canadian liberals are forced to 'vote strategically', which means voting for the Liberal Party instead of their real choice, the NDP or the Green Party, to prevent the 30% of Canadian conservatives, who have only one voting choice, from stealing the election. We'll find out in ten days whether they did so or not. Alas, both the US Republican and the Canadian Conservative parties are consistently and heavily propped up by small farmers and small businesspeople. Without that support, these parties would be history. It doesn't make any sense, but it's the reality that both right-wing parties are counting on for election success this year. It's a brilliant con.

DevShed: Could PHP Soon Be Owned by Sun?

DevShed: Could PHP Soon Be Owned by Sun? 08/05/2004 08:58 AM
According to a new article from DevShed.com today, the question is posed - "Could PHP Soon Be Owned By Sun?"

PHP 5: A Sign that PHP Could Soon be
Owned by Sun

PHP 5: A Sign that PHP Could Soon be
Owned by Sun 08/06/2004 07:56 AM
Thanks to fellow Neowinian Krome for bringing this to our attention via BPN.

PHP 5’s official release occurred on July 13th with a complete re-haul of object-oriented programming features and improved MySQL functions. These are sure to be great additions to the package for PHP developers. However, many of the changes to PHP are hinting to something that may not necessarily be something PHP developers will like down the road.

At first glance, the obvious changes to PHP are a result of the success of the Java platform and the weaknesses of PHP revealed when making a comparison. With the release of PHP 5, it's apparent that the developers of PHP and the Zend Engine (which are essentially one and the same) felt compelled to make PHP much more like Java with respect to object-oriented programming. With its new interoperability with Java, as it states on Zend’s web site, “full integration with Java will be closer than ever before.” Hmmm, full integration with Java, huh?

On November 4th, 2003, Zend, the Israeli company backing the development of PHP announced a strategic partnership with Sun. This deal also included advisors from Borland, Macromedia, MySQL and others. The purported purpose of this deal was to make PHP part of Sun’s web server and bring it to the corporate world of development that previously had been dominated by ASP and ColdFusion. Now with the release of PHP 5, it’s far more apparent which path PHP is taking.

Banishing the demons of stupidity from a
system that has been owned 08/12/2004 03:25 PM
Occasionally a computer will become so significantly compromised with viruses, trojans, backdoors, hacked, spyware or malware that it becomes irrecoverable with normal means. Occasionally said computer will belong to a client, family member, friend or otherwise very important person who needs said computer back with data. In most business envrionments user data should be on the server and the following process is not typically appropriate. This process is Windows specific, and will help you deal with Windows less than graceful failures when taken over by viruses, trojans, spyware or has been hacked. If you do not have data to recover, or an substantial operational need to keep that exact install, then just wipe the drive and reinstall the Operating System. There are times however when you really need to recover a system and format c:\ is not an option. This process is not intended to be all inclusive, but to give you a starting point so that you can start doing other needed system repairs and or recover files safely. Fundamentally a recovered system that has been owned can be recovered, but never again should be considered known or trusted. It is always better to wipe and reinstall, but it is not always an option.
