It hasn't been left or right, liberal or conservative in a LONG time. Now, it's populist or elitist. You can have a globalist in either the democrat camp or the republican camp. If you're a democrat, you should join the Green Party. If you're a Republican, you should join Buchanan's Party (can't remember the name off the top of my head)
I've gotten interviews...I have an interview a week...me and about 80 other guys. I see the same people at these interviews. And many of them can run circles around me in skills (I have 12 years of experience), and if THEY'RE not getting jobs, then I'm not getting a job. And I live in NY (Long Island) where you need a MINIMUM of $45,000 to pay mortgage, and support the wife and kids...I would need 3 full time jobs at $8 an hour to just squeak by...and then I'd become an estranged father and husband...
In my house, since I have many monitors, I bought a door from home depot, and put milk crates on either side. I might look sort of ghetto, but I have a LOT of room!
I know 2 people w/ weird names...I went to school with a girl named Laurie Lipschitz and I knew a woman whose name was Colleen Kramps..she got married REAL quick!
I'm a computer tech for a large global enterprise.
When we were using windows computers, my job was in serious danger of being downsized. They were easy to use and and everyone and their mother was an MCSE.
Fortunately, due to Microsoft licenses, my company switched to PC's running Linux. What a relief! The stress I was suffering over job security is gone! In fact, I just got a fat raise because the bosses think that Linux is so difficult, yet I never work!
I've learned needlepoint. And I knitted a blanket. Oh, I WISH these darn computers would CRASH already!!! I'm so bored!
I remember the old metal and punk albums from the 80's. I swear you could hear people talking in the background! Some of those albums were REALLY raw. No production. 4 tracks and then they're mixed together. Listen to black flag. ZERO production, but excellent none the less. I remember the Misfits live album (the name escapes me at the moment) which had mistakes in it and everything! That's what I prefer. I love that REAL feeling. I still remember on the Reign in Blood album (slayer) where there's a production mistake. The song piece by piece you could hear how one of the lead guitar tracks was just shut off, no fade. I happen to like that kind of thing
I don't think Foam Existed in the 10th Century...Futons did, but not in Europe until Marco Polo brought them back. A 10th Century bedroom would consist of a chair, a wash basin, olive oil and a candle:)
Yes...New York is VERY expensive...there are houses around here that easily go for a million. All property values and taxes increased by 100% this year....I have no idea why..

Hmmm..I've been unemployed for a year, I have a mortgage, a disabled wife, a kid in school...We have exactly 1 month left of money (not including food). We didnt have Christmas this year (our parents pitched in for gifts for our daughter).So, we'll just sit here and while I'm on an interview competing with 20 H11B visas, I'll come home and see my house boarded up. I can work 2 part time retail jobs and STILL not pay my mortgage! Soemtimes I DO feel like I'm the only one, but believe me, I'm not!
I agree...with only my mortgage, electric bill, car payment and phone , I need a MINIMUM of $28,000 in Long Island, NY. This does not include food, medical (my wife is on disability) or clothes for the kid. It doesn't include the required $5,000 a year property tax I have to pay or car insurance ($1,200 a year in NY) I am willing to move anywhere else, but first I have to sell my house(Anyone in the market for a $300,000 cape on a 1/4 acre of property in Long Island , NY---it's a CHEAP starter house) After being out of work for a year, unemployment exhausted, we have 2 months left of savings WITHOUT paying phone or electric. According to my calculations, finding a mimimum wage job that DOESNT start you at part time is like trying to find a needle in a HayStack. Any suggestions?
I have yet to try OS/2 due to the sticker price. So, whwn IBM vo longer sells it, will they make free (or cheap) downloadable versions? I'd like to add OS/2 to my collection of OS'es I run.
I have seen his lists...He showed them to me..more "regular" businesses people spam than porno places...I am not about to go on a diatribe defending this guy. I personally was never on an anti-spam crusade.Would he take money from terrorists? WHo knows? Would you? If they paid you enough? Why do people assume he WOULD do porn or support al-qaeda? And in my book, he is not doing anything morally wrong. There are more important things to crusade against.
Hmmm...I don't consider Spamming the same moral calibre as Kiddie porn and what not. While I despise Spam (I have SpamAssassin, vipul's razor and other bayesian filters), I don't consider it equal to kiddie porn or terrorism. SPam is a HUGE annoyance, but I don't really get spam with all the filters I have...What am I supposed to do, Kill him? If so, how is that morally superior?
You don't think they get Spam? I'm not supporting this guy, but you HAVE to admit, they wouldn't do it if it didn't work. Earning $300,000 a year for basically sitting on your ass isn't too shabby. He has a full T-3 in his house! So, after paying off the T-3 (a Porsche a month), he has $300K in profit. When he calls me to fix his Linux servers and his network problems, he pays me well. I STILL don't like what he does, but he's one of the few people still making money from the 'Net anymore.
I know somebody that is a spammer. He makes a LOT of money doing it. I tell him every time I see him how much he is hated by the 'Net community. He makes about $300,000 a year though. I asked him if HE hates spam. he says no. He has Spam Filters on his email box(Spam Assassin, etc) . He says that he doesnt want the people who put up spam filters...he recommends it to everybody..he wants the people who don't have it, and they will always be there. He makes money from companies who pay him. They say it works. Throw spaghetti at the wall, eventually some will stick. He has promised me that he takes out my friends emails from his list.:)
I was told I didn't have the minimum requirements..I tried on my Linux box AND my Solaris box. If it's just RealPlayer, I have it..so, what's the problem?
I have pretty much the same as you, but I have a total of 12 years experience. Been out of work for 12 months...they say I'm either "too expensive" or they're scared I'll take THEIR job. I have a house, a wife and kids. I've tried the lower paying jobs but they laugh at me.
I was 7 when I had my first computer (Commodore Pet in 1979). My uncle bought it for me for xmas..and I haven't stopped since. I read all the books and learned BASIC. I then moved to the Vic20, the Commie 64,etc. That was the best thing that could've happened. He had no idea what type of monster he was going to create!
My wife run's Linux as well, and althought we don't have kids yet, she still needs those coupel of Windows programs...SO I bought Win4Lin (which is like VMWare, but MUCH cheaper!). I made a link to "virtual windows" on her desktop. She just click it, up loads windows, and it runs whatever Windows software she needs (like The SIMS). Not truly a Linux only solution. You do need a copy of windows (Win98 recommeneded) to install into the VM, but it boots faster than windows does! It's identical to VMWare in almost everywat, except that it's Windows only. Give it a try..much easier that booting into Windows for 1 program...

Like Martin Luther King, Jr said "Don't buy from where you can't work"..I don't think he realized how far reaching his statement would become.

I wanted to name our daughter Guinevere, but my wife said it sounded too much like Gwen and she hates that name.
