anyone know where i can get an old laptop cheap? liek a P200 with a few GB of space? i had a thougth saturday that they would make great portable mp3 machines, load up and plug it in to your friend stereo for a parties and such.
I meet alot of fresh out of school types that have some geek skills, and they're all fed Microsoft, and when they seem to know some shit I'll start talking Linux with them and they almost always say how it's crap compared to Windows and nothing comes close to Bills magic OS of wonder.
Can you say "Brainwash" ?
One kid I meat was all pumped about doing Unix SysAdmin work for a living yet said to me "It pays better that windows work but it's not as good an Windows." I wanted to burn him, he then continued to argue the point that Windows, not just NT/2000 but 95/98/ME also, was better and MORE SECURE than any *nix OS, I then kindly changed the discusson to gaming, but then he hadn't heard of Counter Strike so I left.
So bombard local schools with info on NTs weakness, and Linux freeness and security, and hopefully we can stop shit like that kid from ever being spawned again.
Also that kid had been kicked out of school for breaking into the schools NT network from home, if he did that, how could he claim it was so secure right out of the box like he did? he couldn't answer me that one. But just continued to say "Trust me, it is." Isn't that what Bill always says "just trust ME" *grin*
goddam weazely fuck, i'd like to kick him in the beanbag...another nice start to a day ruined by MS *sigh*
i opened up to yahoo this morning and had an X-10 ad pop-up on me. I like yahoo because i can see the top news stories and search with google all on one page, If only google would add a little box on the front page with the headlines, i'd be set. plus! no pop-ups.

Why not make a filtering method that can rather than just block the cookie, communitate with the cookie, have a section of the cookie be a message explaining to the filtering software what the cookie does where its from, etc... and display this to the user. Sure some sites could lie about what the cookie is actually doing, but in the case of my former employer, a online stock trading site, they use a cookie to time your login time, which expired after an hour. So when people block cookies they can't get logged in and they called us mad as hell that we wouldn't let them log in, this way if they're filtering cookies with this method, they would see that that cookie is used to log them in and only that. Any feedback people?
Great now when you buy those text books they'll cost more 'cos the MPAA is gonna want to put a fee on it because it could be used as a piracy tool. This is gonna kill the used text book market, that'll be illegal.
I'm gonna go start work on "Texter" an internet text book trading programme.
I agree this is pretty silly, but if you've got time and $ to burn why not? What caught my eye was the use of sound dampening material, can anyone report on the effectiveness of this? I have use a few extra fans and it does make a difference? It sounds like I have a B-17 running in here.
I say it should be made on Linux or Unix or whatever, for all the obvious reasons:
They always say the cost of such a system would be huge, well if you use MS and Dell, it sure as hell will be, they're in the buisness of making crap cost far to much, with these 2 in the picture the computers this needs to run on are going to be big bucks compared to what you can work with if you use Linux.
They also say the hardware would sit for long periods of time, well i say with an open source, FREE approach it can run on low end, i.e. *cheap* computers. How many geeks here have an old 386 they could donate for use? I have a old DX4 100Mhz Compaq they can have, its great for Linux, but crawls on anything MS put out newer than DOS.
So lts do this: create an open source solution and gather up old slow machines that can run it, simple and even Free/ low costs, theres always going to be a large number of slow/obsolete computers available, lets put them to use stopping frauds like G.W. Bush
They're saving me money, because not only don't I already not own a TV, but this ensures I won't buy one in the future! The guys really care about me! I feel all warm and fuzzy.
Not like there is anything worth watching anyway, it's mostly shite. Thats another way they've ensured I wont have to buy a TV.
I see some calling for protests to this, but why just stand in front of their doors? Why just call your congressman? Why not do all that and more? Why not bring them down crying on their knees, how? Well as Sir Simon Milligan and Hecubus would say, Evil!
I won't list anything specific, 'cos I'm sure the FBI would be here in a flash, but how about this: Link to HD manufacturers websites on/. and watch them fall to the/. effect! Better yet make a pop-up window that appears when you pull up/. it loads their web sites automatically; the number of hits they'd get per day would cripple them! Why not through in the RIAA and MPAA sites also?
And for you 31337 doodz of/. I want to see some web site defacing! "Maxtor" becomes "Max-whore" or "IBM" as "gee maybe we shouldn't supported that whole HD thing." Remember, if Sir Simon Milligan wouldn't say "Evil!" when he saw it, it's not worth doing.
I'm sure there are even more creative, and evil ways to fight this evil, use them! Don't stop short at any point, the only time we fail is when we've done nothing and let them walk all over us, there is no court in any civilized country that will rule in favor of "intellectual rights" before human rights. When you buy that new 60GB hard drive It becomes your property, they can't tell you what you can and cannot do with it
But also don't forget to also stop buying their products, or better yet, steal them! "Evil!" I don't expect this would last long if we'd strike back, and strike back hard, we have the tools, and the power, and with great power comes great responsibility. If one has great power they then have the responsibility to do great things.
I just found out on yahoo that Time magazine named George W Bush "Person of the Year"
You don't think that had to do with the merger? brownie points anyone? Maybe I've just watched too many conspiracy episoes of The X-Files. I bet they would have given it to Gore had he won.
I know it's not over yet, but I fear the "quote" by Steve Case in the satire wire article, is the case, (pun intended) that some people believe that this is a good thing, let me tell you why I'm scared shitless. I had a Tech support job where I dealt with AOL and Time-Warners Roadrunner server daily, and almost everytime these people called, we sent them to AOL or Roadrunner tech support, and these customers are so brainwashed that after yelling at us that because thats all we ever do, blame it on Roadrunner or AOL. Well I'm sorry, but they are shit. I supported and on-line stock trading web site, and try explaining to these people that if they're concerned about their on-line security using AOL is probably not a good choice, and they always said something like "20 million AOL customers can't be wrong"
So will it get better when you combine Americas #1 online service and #1 cable modem service? Well, at least AOL will not be able to auto disconnect it's broadband customers after so many minutes, my feeling is it's just going to deliver the same old shit and spam, at higher speeds. wahoo.
Well how fast is this supersonic aircraft moving? Mach 1? Mach 2? Lets assume Mach 1 and thats why it said supersonic jet, Mach 1 is 741.81729 miles/hour at sea level thus putting our friend at 74181.729 Mach, or 55029289.17429441 miles/hour.

As a DARE grad I'd say no, most of my small rural class, living in a place were drugs would never find us, the midwest, has done or does drugs, all with grand results. Its stupid to say that drug users don't know they're bad for them, does that stop them? Nope. I mean you gotta be a special kind of stupid to think inhaling smoke isn't bad for you, it's fucking smoke! Then again AOL has 25 million users now. So legalize it today and get high tonight. At least it'll be cheaper if it was legal. and the government could tax it and make money off it.

I still want to make one of these for my kitty. someday...
You can never have enough Bush and Gore
He meant he was skeptical it would be that low
I'm gonna go start work on "Texter" an internet text book trading programme.
IMHO Redhat 7 and 2.4 could be a killer combo if they do it right.

Very cool, as its MS only ways were a big turn off for me, I might someday consider one.
