Oh please. Obviously this is your own fscking fault for buying upgrade disks all those years. What? thought you were being clever and saving a few bucks did you? Well, you payed for it in time.
suck it up- you got what you payed for. Next time you decide to upgrade, buy a full version.
I live in Temecula, commute to San Diego-( 53 miles each way) I usually stroll in around 9:15am, so I can leave the house after rush hour-- figure 50 mins.drive time average.. In '97, our 2 story house (brand new) cost 149k, 2261sqf, 3b/3ba, formal LR/DR, California room (eg: family room about 12x25 with Fireplace ) a loft, 3 car garage.. back yard is big enough for a patio and deck, coupla trees, a (future) pool and still enough room for a swing set and sandbox for the kidlets. Around $1230/mo, before taxes, add another $3200 a year.
My wife works weekends at one of the wineries.. about enough money to cover my gas bill each month...but really just an excuse to get out of the house. We *don't* do day-care, we have one truck that's 6 years old, 130k miles and we never do the big vacation things... struggling to get out from under the CC's and there are some weeks we make it to payday on rice, ramen and imagination...when the CC's are paid off, we will have quiet a tidy sum left over each month. I pull in about $50k a year as a sysadmin.
People laughed at us when we bought in Temecula, but we knew...4 minutes from the wineries, stunning microclimate, zero smog, and Hey! We got a mall now! Some traffic problems and house prices are shooting up fast...same model as ours sold up the street for 199k this past January... but it's clean, new, breezy and only a matter of time before I find work up here...
So I guess we are pretty lucky.. we do without a lot of stuff ( like furniture, movies, dining out, fancy wardrobes, a 2nd car and vacations.. ) but my wife is home all day with our toddler, another one on the way, we are in a great area, building equity and we smile a lot.
ermm.. did I say beautiful here? I meant,... uh.. terrible. Crowded. Crime out of control... you don't want to live here... this is not the community you are looking for..you can go about your business.. move along....

No defined budget -black ops, but around.5% ( thats POINT five percent ) of revenues of 25 Mil. including our salaries,all hardware and non-CAD/ CNC related Hardware/software.
Hmm.. I never grew up in the good old days of DOS or Unix. I started on a GUI, ( W3.1 ) and eventually worked my way to NT4.0.
Here's the interesting thing I am experiencing. I now find some of the UI to be tedious, and I use the command line for many things that are simpler.*TO ME*. If you want to design a great UI, think about this. Flexibilty. As in, Beginner, Intermediate , Advanced and Guru. I needed the simple interface when I started, now, I am happier bypassing most of the flash. Unfortunately, I can't disable most of the annoying features I used to need. Case in point. Every day, I boot my laptop and the widget that controls my PCCard reminds me.. " removing the ethernet card can cause CATASTOPHIC results" Every.day. Every.F**king.DAY. for the last 256 F**king days in a row. I know it already. I still can't disable that message.
Linux seems to be the place I want to be, but, again, I need the simple UI to get me started. When I get to the state in Linux I am in under NT, then I won't need the flash. Why is it, that a UI either is too cryptic, or too simple? Why must a UI act as if today is the first day I've ever seen a computer EVERY.DAY? If there was a way to ask the user* hey- you a powerweeenie or a grandma?* and remember that... and gradually allow one to grow up.... imagine if every day you started your car you had to click on " Are you sure?"

Exactly when did you believe that the news WAS real? Or being reported truthfully? You act like this is a big shock to your system... Are you truly naive enough to think that it ever was? What are you.. new? Ever hear of " Don't believe everything you read" ? Face it- The media is out to make a profit, which is why the most frequently asked question to a victim or widow or orphaned child is " How do you feel?" The media has no interest nor is there any profit in relating the truth, only the "STORY"
What's REALLY funny is all the law firms that were geared up to make fat profits from sueing the bejeezus out of every company that had a hiccup will mill about uncertainly, then begin preparing cases to sue for "hoaxing the american public"..
Yep, I bet there was great wailing and gnashing of teeth.

True for me. I have ( stop sniggering) 5 years of NT ( hey..STOP IT! ) but without the cert, nobody else is interested in even looking at my res.
...
Then again, I only started mucking about with Linux in the last year... guess which one *I* want to get a certificate in..?
LPI , RHCE, then we'll see some action
( alright- who's laughing?!?!? )

why there is no .WEB ? It would be pretty cool for all the web only based businesses, as in, " no brick and mortar here ".....
as for me, I'd pro'lly register angry.god
or maybe drooling.god..
heh.

RAH said it best:
Be wary of strong drink. It can make you shoot at tax collectors- and miss.
"Every tool is a weapon if you hold it right" works better as:
"Every tool is a weapon if you choose to use it that way"
I can't remember the definition of a weapon, but I *think* it was something along the lines of.. " any device used to manipulate energy..."
sorry off topic, just a pet peeve.
