Couldn't resist another Kubrick movie, Full metal Jacket. Its amazing how well these fit. Not the same movie, but hey, they are both Kubrick movies! Some slighlty Modified quotes:
[IBM] Who filed that? Who the fuck filed that? Who's the slimy little communist shit, tinkle-toed cocksucker down here who just filed his own death warrant? Nobody, huh?! The fairy fucking godmother filed the lawsuit! Out-fucking-standing!
[SCO]I Filed that lawsuit sir!
[IBM]Well, what have we got here? A fucking comedian, private SCO? Hell, I like you, you can come over and fuck my sister!
{punches SCO in Gut, SCO drops to floor}
[IBM]I've got your name! I've got your ass! You will not laugh, you will not cry, you will learn by the Courts, I will Countersue You!
the drill sargeant can be used for IBM with many other modified quotes:
[IBM]Sco, you had best unfuck yourself and start shitting me Tiffany cufflinks or I will definitely fuck you up!
[IBM]Private SCO, I'm gonna give you three seconds, exactly three fuckin' seconds, to wipe that stupid lookin' lawsuit off your face or I will gouge out your eyeballs and skull fuck you!
> Since we are starting to analyze statistics provided by the RIAA at this point, I should mention that they have a nasty tendency to only release data which they can put a proper spin on.
How is this different from anyone else. Statistics are not a tool for analyzing data, you silly fool.. Statistics are a tool for enabling people to legaly lie! I'm sure Enron had all sorts of rosy statistics, and black lines going up on charts. For refereneces to using positive spin to lie, please see this website
Joe Sixpack, (or joe collegestudent) has probably never heard of mozilla. Tell them to fire up mozilla, you'll get a blank look. Try using the new Netscape 7.1, Its almost identical. (You can suppress the popups, and clear the exceptions list, and disable the shop buttons and the activation) If you tell people to fire up Netscape, they will probably have heard of it.
There is alot more brand recognition with netscape, and Joe won't feel that he's using some weird browser. With netscape, he'll feel more confident, and perhaps use it for web browsing much more, rather than the IE that came with his computer.
I learned from experience is that it is good to have bittorrented ISO's or.bins of the CD's your going to be using. Add in daemon tools or something to mount them. Even if someone already has the game, if they have any problems connecting, make em download the.torrent off your lan, and install from that. That way everyone has the same patches and maps. Takes out many of the headaches (like constantly burning copies of stuff and the long time it takes to get everyone synced up.
I had all users saturating their 100MB switched links, and it was so beutiful i damn near cried!!
Just make sure that everyone deletes the files when its time to go home...
The best I ever heard was a "Sales Representative" trying to convince an older guy the day after Thanksgiving that he should get an UPS for his laptop he was about to buy. I really pissed him off. I asked what a UPS has in it that a Surge protector didn't. The customer said "a battery to keep it running." Then i asked him what part of the laptop enabled him to keep it runing without being plugged in, he said "a battery." after a few seconds, the connection was made, and the guy got pissed at the salesman, and the salesman got even more pissed at me.. I love being a button pusher..
If they could drop the price down below $300, maybe by getting rid of the keypad and flash card reader, I would be damn tempted to try to make a couple of X terminals here at the office.
NewUser: Mr. Admin God, whats my new password? me: blank NewUser (2 minutes later and looking confused): what was that password again? me: blank NewUser (a few more minutes have passed, their starting to get flustered and angry, starting to realize Mr. Admin God doesn't like to waste his time with pesty users): Its not working, whats wrong?!! me (eirily calm, with a wave of the wrist): its blank, b-l-a-n-k
That always seems to get them adjusted to the proper level of respect i deserve!
Why do so many people drool over raid 0, i could understand raid 0,1 or raid 5, but just 0?? seriously, you slap 2x100GB drives in a system and get a faster 200GB drive, but if you lose a single drive, (Very common in IDE) your out 200GB of data. Seriously folks, think about that..
While backups are the obvious solution, is someone that is slapping together a raid 0 system from cheap IDE or Serial ATA drives going to be able to afford a Tape drive that can hold 200GB of data? thats a hell of alot of CD-R's, or a damn long time to download, even off a T-1.. Hell, thats a handfull of 80/40GB tapes for DLT, and the drives aren't too cheap either..
I do pay the 60 a year for our machines here at work, I'm choosing to use bit-torrent because i'm getting 35k/s from it, instead of 5k/s from RHN.
The part that worries me is what happens if a major security patch comes out in the next few days? It sure would suck to download a big patch from redhat while the ISO release is taking all their bandwidth?
My web server at work hasn't needed a re-boot in 9 days.. Thats way better than i've come to expect in the last few years of constant lockups and re-boots.
>Of course, Wyden is from Oregon and may have a small stake in the paper manufacturing increase that will necessarily occur if such a bill is passed.
Yes, because certainly big companies like Intel don't have 15,000 employees in the state of Oregon! They can't possibly do most research and development of new processors at the Jones Farm campus in Portland. There is no way that a huge number of Silocon wafers are made in the Willamette Valley ( Portland, Salem, Eugene, all cities in between) becuase of the very clean and pure water that we have. Certainly not all the telecommunications equipment located in this state. (Many undersea fibers come to the Oregon coast because of the gentel slope of the contenintal shelf here)
Nope, were all either loggers, killing the forrest, or we're the crazy, dreadlock wearing white people sabotoging the world in the name of the forrests and animals. Wake up, Oregon isn't the sleepy bunch of rednecks and millworkers every one seems to think.
I had a teacher once explain his grading to the class for an engineering course. A = you already new it B = You have been exposed to many of the ideas already C = You are new to this and working your tail off. D = You are new and overwhelmed, take it next term to get a B F = you didn't do shit. I worked like mad in that class, got a 73%, and I was proud of that "C" I help students study for that class that is now taught by a different (much easier) teacher, they are getting "A's" and struggling, i took it 2 years ago before changing majors, haven't touched on the subject since, and i'm helping them. Funny how my favoritte teachers are the hardest ones....
If my local 911 was drastically slowed down like this, and a family member died because info didn't get to the right people fast enough, i'd be pretty ticked. Especially if it was because of yet another bug in a supposedly "commercial grade" database.
The mark of arrival for any new technology is the ability to recieve porn on it.. And to think that conservatives like to scoff at the idea that porn drives technology..
I won't buy a computerized car until i can get Jenna Jameson on my dash at 80Mph, it will be the sign that it has been endorsed and works properly.
I pay tuition, I should be able to do whatever I want, right.. If I fail the class, i can always take it again and work harder.. Sounds good to a college student, as college is expensive.
However, at state schools, tuition is only a portion of the total cost of education. I imagine the taxpayers in my state might get a little pissed off if every college student took every class twice, as the taxpayers subsidize the cost.
Perhaps the students at private schools can say this, but as a full time worker trying to finish my degree part time, my attitudes towards college have certainly changed, since I started paying taxes to be there, and paying tuition out of the little money left over after those taxes..
I don't want them tracing those nude pictures of my 17 year old girlfriend back to me... I prefer to just put them out on gnutella for all to see anonymously!;)
The Bandwidth Caps and locking down of bandwith seems to be a evil thing to do, but please, tell me how your $45 a month cable internet bill is going to pay for a gigabit router and fiber to your neighborhood. The bandwidth limits are going into effect becuase the routers, switches, etc, that run all this data at the head office is incrediably expensive, and with people running Kazaa at full blast 24/7, the old rules of thumbs about customer/bandwidth ratio is getting thrown to hell.
Your phone company sells local service, usualy unlimited local calls. This is because they understand that not everyone is going to be on their phone every second of every day. They're peak load is planned to be much less than the potential Maximum load. Otherwise, the phone plans would be much more expensive, as alot of extra equipment would need to be installed to satisfy that.03% of the time.
If people throw their hands up in the air and complain about the phone circuits being busy once during the year for 3 minutes, you'd probably tell them to get a life. I would too.
The fact of the matter is, if you want full, uncapped service, bite the bullet and buy a T-1 line directly into the house, if you live in a city of any size (mines 40,000 people, pretty small) it costs around $300-$400 per month with a couple year contract.
Does the company have to be incorporated in CA, have offices there, or just their servers? Also, does the break in have to happen in California, or do they have to report it if the CA companies datacenter in New York gets hacked?
I think that this might benefit people in that knowing what they are predisposed to might encourage them to live a healthier life, it is a "might be" kind of test. Its like saying that "sometime in the next 55 years, your going to get into a serious car accident" You'll sweat it for a bit, then start driving normaly again. It might happen, it might not, but you'll still drive your huge ass soccer mom SUV to work everyday...

Shouldn't there be more posts moderated up that mention that this jacket is definately not GPL compliant?

If Evolution is a replacement for Outlook clients for Linux, why not create a server componenet that runs group calendars. This seems to be the only piece missing from a total Linux server replacement for Exchange. If Evolution can sync this info with exchange, why not create their own server to do the calendaring also? then we would have a complete server client groupware solution. HTML calendaring is not a solution, many companies and users like applications that can launch events and real time syncing.
