Look, Janice, Denise, Tiffany Amber Thiiiieeeessen! Lemme go ahead and share a little something special with you that I like to call Perry's Perspective.
One: If someone's standing in front of me in line at the coffee shop and they can't decide what they want in the half an hour it took to get to the register, I should be allowed to kill them.
Two: I'm fairly sure if they took porn off the internet, there'd only be one website left, and it'd be called "Bring back the porn!"
Three and most importantly of all: The only way to be respected as a doctor -- nay, respected as a man -- is to be an island; you are born alone, you damn sure die alone.
No, I do not understand the history of all technology and everything I use.
But knowing the history sometimes helps me identify/deduce(?) the funcion of certain thing and allows me to fix and improve certain things.
Times are almost gone that I could improve my C code because we knew assembler, compilers are getting to smart for me, yet still, I can imagine some historical stuff propagating and still staying true to its core.
Maybe I mistook your post, and you were pointing more at the persons in history themselves the knowledge of which seems less usefull than their ideas itself.
I am usually inclined to a classical point of view as opposed to the romantic one (ZATAOMM ofcourse), yet still I think science is our greatest history, and a million copies (free) do not resemble the original (minor cost) in this case, for me.
I have about 6 copies of 1984 but the facsimile is the most dear to me... weird.
The piramid around it, though made out of plain rock/stone/whatever (IANAA) is BLOODY impressive as well and teaches us much about the construction and the time of the tomb itself.
It's like a biologist that buys his wife a pearl without knowing what an oyster is...
By your logic, I should now be brought up on charges because I forged a TCP RST.
Well, you are forging it from your own domain, not a third party. I would be okay if my dauther told the salesman on the phone that I was not in. I wouldn't want my operator to step in and do that.
I just returned to the Netherlands this morning, flew from Las Vegas.
Delta indeed uses red-hat linux on their 'seat in front of you consoles'
Also loading some modules which taint the kernel (according to the message I saw) I think it had to do with AAC.
Nothing against Linux on planes, BUT please, have someone on-board to service the system or let it be serviced from the ground. As our flight from Las Vegas to New York only showed red hat reboots continually during the flight, all the time. seemed like Linux did boot with some ramdisk checksum errors, but it booted, but when the X layer came on this triggered another reboot.
I'm a unix guy all the way, and they told me I could not have access to the plane's media 'mainframe' or I would have had a look to see what was wrong. All I saw was that the whole right side economy side of the plane was left with a rebooting red-hat distribution showing a cute penguin in its left corner...
The whole time... 5 hours long...
This was NOT a good commercial. I wish it had been.
The whole system worked perfectly when I was flying to San Francisco two weeks ago!
Slashdot Mirror
Not in idle... Class, guys... class...
Put it in idle, where it belongs, FFS!
She doesn't know what facebook is.
I have one acronym for you: UI
My mom will be able to 'go onto the internet' through this.
She is not stupid, she doesn't like to 'start something up before using it'. You turn something on, it works.
This is meant for people who don't know or care what USB is.
He gets 11...

Isn't that right, Spike?
I should've thrown a WTF in there, somewhere
Because that's what it is, right ?
A locall?y running suite to an online suite...
I mean, I'm all for opensource and stuff, but this...
Let's compare my wallet to my bankaccount...
Wallet wins hands down because I can pay a cabfare with it...
That stock has long been sold.

I would think of it like this:
The tomb of Tutankhamun was very impressive...

Sorry, hard to explain...
Just a weird thought, what's to stop a kook from buying this, burning it and to call any pictures/copies a fake ?
scratch that, even if he/she doesn't call it a fake but just burns it out of spite, can anybody keep this from happening ?
Isn't there a 'Library of humanity' (sponsored by us all) to which pieces like this should go ?
Likely

Another one ?
Does being moderated 'funny' give you karma points nowadays then ?

Just in case the server 'blends'...
It's a macBook pro! It even runs Windows ;)
Well at least I now know you're not a troll and it DOES gave something to do with MySQL
Am doing that now in the Netherlands...
Running Ethernet over fibers, using Extreme's EAPS to create 'Ethernet rings'. Switchover times as fast as SDH...
Neat stuff....
I use OS X, you insensitive clod!
