I guess it is all about priorities. My Nissan can do slalom much better than your tank, and I like swerving and 'threading the needle' in rush hour traffic. Where I live, you cannot get up to 120+ mph without making some 'strategic maneuvering' due to traffic. That is also why I do not go to the drag track, I would have no fun. To each, his own.

And so we go to www.rustconsulting.com and we find out that they are just class-action whores! The only scam they might do is sell your e-mail addy and claim administrative costs to the court for a chunk of the settlement.
That being said, I think I'll finally chip in, as I like the distribution, and have only been downloading ISOs for a while now.
I agree... Just last week I downloaded Mandrake 9 for my company to put up a last-minute FTP server.
Installed in no time, pftpd configured properly and all. I was quite impressed and urged my boss to throw $$ at Mandrake for becoming an OS that we can rely on when we just need to get a machine up and running.
Nice summary... I agree with a lot of what you said however I would like to focus on the 2nd Amendment since it is the topic of this thread...
You said: "Article II) the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed
Gone. New York you are prohibited from owning..."
Ok. I think it is relevant to include the entire sentence that you are quoting from the amendment.. The 2nd Amendment is "A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed. "
I am sure my comments are completely redundant by now, but please acknowledge that this amendment is complete slop.
Really, look at it. Is it saying that every citizen has the right to own a gun, or is it saying that the States have the right to have an armed militia? Anybody can read that sentence and interpret it from any angle. That is why it is slop and most historians will agree. My question is whether it is intentionally slop so as to allow for broad interpretation by the courts in order to keep the amendment currrent with it's time?? Another thing to point out is to consider the time that this amendment was written and the intention of the people that wrote it.
Slop. I think it is up to the Supreme Court to make the interpretation apply to the social climate of the times, and the Supreme Court is better qualified to make this decision than myself, the NRA, or the Brady Foundation.
It was not a mission-critical server and the firewall was down for the time. (It took only about 90 minutes before the thing came in)
Anyway, that is no excuse, not like I need one. The firewall (hardware failure) has been fixed and the Doze box (which I could care less about) is protected again. Besides, it would have been a good thing if it was 0wn3d while the firewall was down so I could have more to back me when I propose a pilot project using a different OS, say Linux perhaps...
Oakland County Michigan. I live there. I actually live about 6 miles south of his intersection, so I will wander up there and see what I find. As far as records... so far I managed to find his old address on Patrick St. however it has already been posted on here.
I started getting that across my T1. Easy fix, but annoying!
I have also heard from a friend about how he was at his university's computer lab when that WMS SPAM went to all of the computers in the lab. "University Diplomas On-Line!!!" Ironic bit of spam for a University computer lab, eh?;)
I just worked on a server here at work today.. inside was a Fujitsu 34GB U160 hard drive. Anyway, I got done doing what I had to do, plugged it back in and "No Boot Device Found"...
Great. Then it dawned on me.. this happened to be before on this same server! I opened it up, adjusted the cables, power on, and nothing. Hrm. Did it again, this time wiggling the power molex connector (which seems quite loose) and now it works! I am calling the vendor for a replacement ASAP because I think there is just something wrong with the drive.
Slashdot should start a job forum. Then all of the employers can sift through "Experienced Sys Admin from Goatse.cx looking for new opportunity." submittals!
Seriously though, a slashdot job forum would be cool... I would be it's first customer. (seeker) What I would give to put "Slashdot Karma: 50" on my resume!
Your advice is definitely sound, and I'm working on building up my rainy-day fund, but it's going to take a while, and meantime, I'm vulnerable.
All I'm trying to say is, some of us are no longer idiots, but still manage to find ourselves in this position.
Wow. I could not have said that better myself. There are many of us under 30 yrs old that have old credit card debt with student loans that are trying to get that stuff paid off whilst working on a rainy day fund...
I too am doing well, I too was way too stupid with credit cards when I was 18. I am working on getting that debt taken care of so I can save for the future but it freaks me out to think of how vulnerable I am.
Oh, and as for how companies are dealing with the poor economy... my company has not paid us on-time since December. You see, we are on a monthly pay schedule (one big check on the 1st of every month) which requires good budgeting to get through the month okay. Missing that by a few days can be rough, but manageable. However, this does not work too well when you are paid 15 days late, and really sucks when you are paid 30+ days late. I have not been paid for March, and I should be paid for April this week but that is not happening anytime soon. (Ramen noodles ROCK!)
So, I guess I have to start calling lawyers to see if there is any legal action that I can take... anyone happen to have had a similar experience and have advise??
Most major colleges and universities require a specific software for a class. We will take graphics for example. Yes, I would love it if all schools used the Gimp for graphic design classes however the school usually has a contract with a software company instead. So, how much is academic verison of Photoshop? IIRC it is about $300.
Sure would be nice to see universities dumping these commercial licenses and going with the free (as in beer and speech) software...

Your reply: "If the study was comparing the piracy among students in the 96-97 school year and those same people today, you would have a point. However, it is comparing the students in the 96-97 school year and the students now, which in most cases are different people."
I emphasized the point that jgerman was trying to make. The same ppl that were the pirates are now in the industry, they know why they pirated in the 90's thus they might know what would entice someone to actually buy the software instead of pirate it. There advantages to purchasing software legally, the trick is to make these advantages desireable to your target audience.

It should have been an indicator when you learned that his step-mom's name was Roger.

The problem comes when certain establishments mandate that you wear trackable underwear!
No... the real problem comes when certain establishments mandate that you wear underwear..
That they have to ask my permission before trying to follow me around?
No. What if you were a [gasp] terrorist...
Besides, "if you are not doing anything illegal, you have nothing to worry about."
NOTE: This post is extremely sarcastic. Please do not flame. Thank you.

Off topic, but I loved the version numbers at this one software company I worked for...
Example:
3.5.05.01h
3.5.05.01b
3.5.05.06
I worked there for 3 years and over that time they went from v 3.5.04.xx to 3.5.09 beta
What a joke.

Not to be rude, but if you RTFA you would find out in the third paragraph.
But to answer your question, it looks like an IDE Software RAID5.
