Mark Sanford well positioned to win South Carolina GOP runoff It’s been nearly two weeks since Mark Sanford placed first in South Carolina’s 1st district Republican primary and kicked off a runoff campaign as the heavy favorite to win his party’s nomination. Little has changed since that time. With Election Day coming up again on Tuesday, the former governor is the clear front-runner to defeat former Charleston County councilor Curtis Bostic. There haven’t been any “earth-shattering kabooms” during the runoff campaign, said South Carolina Republican strategist Luke Byars, who is neutral. He added: “As a result, I think Sanford’s still favored by a great margin.” Richard Quinn, a second neutral GOP strategist, said: “My guess is Sanford will win comfortably.” Sanford won 37 percent of the vote March 19, while Bostic won just 13 percent, barely good enough to edge out the third-place finisher in the race. What followed was a fairly quiet and pretty one-sided runoff campaign. Sanford, who is much better-known and better-funded, has been difficult to catch. The former governor has stuck to a steady message. He’s running as a fiscal conservative, pointing to his record on spending as governor, and before that, as the 1st district representative. “We’re going to continue working right up to the wire getting our supporters out to vote and spreading the word about the governor’s record of cutting spending and debt,” said Sanford spokesman Joel Sawyer. The Republican fell from grace dramatically in 2009, when, as governor, he disappeared from the state, then admitted to an extramarital affair. Voters in the 1st district are very familiar with the matter, and it hasn’t been a dominant focal point in the Bostic-Sanford back-and-forth. The issue came up most prominently during a televised debate last week, only after the moderator raised it. Sanford admitted fault, and argued that the 2009 episode brought him humility that would serve him well on Capitol Hill. Without directly mentioning the matter, Bostic called Sanford a “compromised candidate.” © The Washington Post Company Ahh, South Carolina...taking over from Mississippi as the dumbest state. |

I know NOAA had one and there were a few others. There were nodes all over the place. The one I was familiar with was centered around an Ampex terabit memory system controlled and front ended by Nova 1200 and PDP 1105 and 1135s. Nowadays all of that power would fit in a PC case. |

They just did it with tax money instead of private capital. They had already started building it when the federal money came in. It was an important kick start to the rise of a faster internet but the internet was coming anyway. Gore never, ever said he "discovered" the internet, nor did he say he invented it. Ever. That host of bull**** was "invented" by the right wing liars club. http://www.snopes.com/quotes/internet.asp But, Gore DID in fact have a very heavy influence on the subject via S 2594 Supercomputer Network Study Act of 1986. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Al_Gore...ion_technology I agree the 1991 bill that put massive government funding into the infrastructure was a big boost but the thing that brought an extra several million users to the internet between 90 and 96 was when Prodigy, AOL and Compuserve ported all of their customers to the net. I was there for that but I had been a "day one" Prodigy user since the early 80s when IBM and Sears rolled it out. Employees got it for free. That was when 2400 BPS was "high speed" ;-) Before the rise of graphics that was blazing fast tho. I bought a modem like that. I think it was $600. Felt like a great deal at the time. :-) |

What would your wife, if you have one, do if you got a blowjob from someone other than her? I would probably wake up with a fork in my chest. In any case, it isn't fraud and it shouldn't have cost us $100M. |

The ability to reduce variable costs was and inprove communications was the the driving force. Try again. You're just wrong. |

Gore was not one of the driving forces behind the Internet. Electronic Commerce was the driving force behind the Internet's ascendency. The ability to reduce variable costs was and inprove communications was the the driving force. The biggest force was deregulating the phone company, home PCs and the invention of the Hayes modem. Without that the internet would still be a primitive Email system between military people and a few universities with big government (DARPA) contracts, running on mainframe computers. If I had to point to one man who brought the internet to the people I would say Steve Case who included an internet browser to AOL at a time when nobody had even heard of it. Prior to that "online" meant going to an in house service like Compuserve, Prodigy, AOL or a privately run BBS. There were over a million Prodigy users when Al Gore "discovered" the internet in the late 80s. AOL wasn't even around yet. The bill he sponsored in 91 did throw federal money at a network of fiber backbones that loop the US but the telcos were going to build that anyway. They just did it with tax money instead of private capital. They had already started building it when the federal money came in. It was an important kick start to the rise of a faster internet but the internet was coming anyway. Don't forget about the Penril modem. It has its dialer in UUCP along with Hayes. Then, in the end Hayes and Penril merged. |

The MP3 binaries were mostly garbage the last time I looked, helped along by the RIAA and MPAA no doubt. P2P sharing seems to be the wave of the future. As a conversational medium, usenet is dead, dead, dead. Perfect example: rec.boats.cruising. Other than Skip's continuing saga of the rebuilding of his sailboat, the only other commentaries in there come from a bunch of anonymous posters whining about another poster, and a guy selling books or something like it. I'm still in rec.boats because I actually want to be here on the day it finally dies. For "conversation" and exchanging of information, moderated groups are the way to go. Hell, even Facebook is better than usenet. And with moderated groups and Facebook, you can include photos, maps, directions, whatever, along with your posts. I go up to Connecticut shoreline towns twice a year now to attend gatherings, parties, et cetera, with old classmates and other friends from the area, and these social events are a result of our finding each other on Facebook. |

Paradyne was a modem development leader but the big technology of the late 80s and early 90s was routers and switches for corporate intranets. One of my big investment "fails" was not recognizing and acting on that trend. Sometime around 1992 or1993 I was at a high level project review meeting with senior technology managers of a big NY financial services company. One of the managers was being publicly ripped to shreds because he could not meet a critical project deliverable for Cisco routers in spite of his best efforts and major customer status. I made a mental note to think about investing in Cisco but never followed up. Opportunity lost. |
