Problem with domain name server in intrepid

[Kjetil Halvorsen]

I finally seem to have solved this problem. I had ubuntu and kubuntu
installed on my
laptop, now I removed all the kde stuff. That by itself didńt solve
the problem. then I removed a lot of configuration files
in my home directory, and that solved the problem.

"Perhaps there is no such thing as unilateral power. After all, the
man 'in power' depends on receiving information all the time from
outside. He responds to that information just as much as he 'causes'
things to happen...it is an interaction, and not a lineal situation.
But the myth of power is, of course, a very powerful myth, and
probably most people in this world more or less believe in it. It is a
myth, which, if everybody believes in it, becomes to that extent
self-validating. But it is still epistemological lunacy and leads
inevitably to various sorts of disaster."
