    Which means linux or some other *nix (*BSD?) would have been installed on compaqs ~mid 1996, hordes of new users to bug test, complain, bitch, demand better hardware support, and kill the winmodem/winprinter before it ever left the shop.

    Damn sounds pretty good to me, although I wasn't using Linux at the time, hell i was still using win3.11 on top of IBM lan manager 1.0.

    Dumbass, note moderation (4, Funny), anyways Maul is alive and well, he didn't explode in death.

    BTW It won't be shocking to me if Palpatine isn't Darth Sidious, but is recruited in this film. Seems like Yoda and Mace Windu would have noticed that a sith was less than 10 feet away

  4. Other options on Free Map Repositories? · · Score: 1
    Check your local University, UKY/kentucky Geological Survey sells maps and GIS data dirt cheap, its really looks like a kickback scheme though.

    Arch Coal (Ashland/Valvoline/You name it in American petrochem industry) ponies up big cash for Mining Engineering program and building, coal liquification projects, etc.

    Kentucky Geological Survey and UK researchers collect and process the data, saves arch/ashland/peabody coal from having to map and process every strip-mine and coal vein in the state.

    Cops lie...take this account Hosting a kegger at my house 2 days before classes start here at UK (America's next great university). I'm the only smoker living in the house so I am outside with a few other people smoking and drinking a beer.

    Lexington PD rolls up, says they received a noise complaint, funny, the neighbors on all sides are here, and I had just came from the street, stereo was inaudible. They ask where the keg is, I lead them around the backside of the house, they ask have you been serving minors "no of course not officer, please check the IDs on the people that were outside with me" (12 21+ year-olds.)

    They ask can we come in, I mention that they don't have a search warrant, they cite me on a bullshit charge

    yes, check out the manhattan project, the colonization of america (Imigration of non-conformist ideologies), and even silicon valley itself.

    pop quiz hot shot: How many startups are based out of Compton, or even Oakland? They conceivably should have similar access to the background infrastructure, but for various and sundry reasons, people move from these areas to ones with better paying jobs/lower crime/better schools.

    This is highly evident in the south and midwest, the smart kids move away from their rural homes to find work that doesn't involve manual labor. I myself would love to find a job in the community where I grew up (low land/home prices/decent schools/near 0 crime except the neighborhood crank lab) but there is little need for a BS in biology except in teaching, which I am not adept at! (Tried the double major BS biol/BA in sec ed, way too many shitheads in the Urban school district for me to deal with)

    That would be Mark Twain with there are three kinds of lies; lies, damned lies, and statistics. How true, of course he also claimed that golf courses were the largest waste of pasture land on the planet, which i agree with as well

  16. Re:in regards to audio ports on Front Ports for PCs? · · Score: 1
    My solution to the rear SB I/O port question is an odd one but applicable since I am using the ABIT SE6 MB with the useless CNR slot at the bottom, is to use the slot cover for the CNR to provide space for the daughterboard. Another solution on older MB's would be to use the Shared IRQ PCI/ISA slot hole on the ISA side to mount the card or the PCI side if you needed the extra ISA slot.

  17. Mail problems on Developing Subversive Software? · · Score: 1
    If you make a penny through a mail transaction, you conceivably just commited mail fraud (10-20 in the pokey), or that is what the local US atty would probably try, racketering, and conspiracy to comit mail fraud would be the next charges.
