Actually redneck came from the fact that those who worked on farms and in fields usually have a sunburn on their neck. I worked on a farm many summers while growing up, and then spend a lot of time in the woods and back country. Depends on how you look at it, anyone can be a redneck, I call my self a redneck because I grew up in a hick town, and I relate it to as Jeff Foxworthy said, "A glorious absence of sophistication, it can be full time or part time."
Now on that note, part time, meaning it doesn't have to be often, and I admit there are time's I'm less sophisticated than I could be.
"Hand me a wrench."
"What size?"
"Don't matter I'm gonna use it for a hammer."
Also buying a car that doesn't run because I want to spend the time working on it to turn in into a hotrod. Also by most counts now days if you watch or follow NASCAR or any motor sport you get qualified as a redneck. We'll I follow NASCAR and NHRA (Funny Car and ProStock).
I find it ironic that I'm attacked, looked down upon, and do nothing more than respond, and state the reason he probably feels he can do this. I make a statement that's true; he probably drives around in a highly urban area and drives a little dinky car. Which most people are more than willing to whip out in front of pickups in urban areas forgetting it takes more for them to stop. I'm out in a farming community; it's a college town, but a farming community non-the less. I'm an electrical engineer, but I also hunt, work on cars, and camp. As I hunt again, some would say that's unsophistocated. This list goes on. Am I your deep south redneck that lives in a trailer, no, however you can find renecks everywhere, there are those willing to admit it and others who wont. You say I'm a troll in disguise, please. I did nothing but fire back at an insult fired at me. I didn't ask any of you to post, that guy posted an unnecessary insult for no other reason than he could and nothing would happen. Guess the fact that I avoid insulting people and but still react in self defense is what I get for being from a small town. You have done nothing but pull out the stereotype and defined everyone by it. Do I embrace my ignorance, hell no, however I admit I'm not the smartest person in the world, and that learning is a continious process that never ends. If I said every black person was going to steal my car, I'd be a racist biggot, however that's not ture, I have many friends who are black. However you say that all rednecks are racist biggots, same deal there man.
Just because I'm willing to make someone accountable for their insults doesn't make me an jerk. Most people now days don't take responsibility for what they say or do, I do, and yes I said it. Freshman year of highschool, a junior insulted me and threw food on me, I busted his nose and jaw, never happened again. Amazing what happens when you hold people accountable for derogatory insults, they don't do it again. Believe me if I could I would.
One final note, you sir are the troll, by following stereotypes and blanketing everyone.
Actually mine's 1/4 steel. A sports car is no match for a full ton pickup. Friend of mine however has the railroad tie bumpers. They work well and if he's rear ended, the ties protect his truck and he just replaces it in 5 minutes. I saw one of the ties after he was hit, you could see where the wood pressed into the frame, however all the energy was put into the bumper and car, no damage to the rest of the truck. The car that rear ended him however was FUBAR. Its funnier because its a 90s style truck, I'd really expect to see it in the south on a 50's pickup, but this is in Washington state, near Seattle no less.
Buddy, pull your head out of your ass. I did not in any way INSULT you. Just because you dont like NASCAR doesn't mean you have to insult those who do. Just because I like working under the hood of a car in my free time isn't a reason to insult me. Many rednecks actually live in nice houses too you jack ass. I dont live in a moblie home, you're a stereo typical retard. Why dont you go back to your flat, or where ever the hell it is you live. Only reason you're willing to post that crap is because you're not saying it to my face.
The catch-22 of the internet, even retards and cowards have voices, and often they voice their jack ass opinion insulting anyone they can, the reason because no one can break their nose.
Oh and I hope some time you whip your little sports car infront of my truck, cause it aint gonna be my truck thats damaged. Gotta love having railroad ties for bumpers.
They're politicians for crying outloud, compairing them to anything else, drags that something else down, there's no escaping it.
I know it is, but thats about the lowest thing I could think of. Though a misquito carrying west nile, malaria, and numerous other diseases, now that I think about it is probably as close as you can get to a good comparision, even then, I still would feel sorry for the misquito comparing it to a politican.
To remove further confusion, I here by appologize to all parasites, leeches, and any other creature that could be considered "disgusting and foul" as well as their fans for comparing them to a politician, I did not mean to smite those stupid creatures in any way.
I resent that, I'm a redneck and not a biggot. Besides releating rednecks to the government is disgraceful to rednecks, now parisites on the other hand, leaches, and any other disgusting foul creature. They're politicians for crying outloud, compairing them to anything else, drags that something else down, there's no escaping it.
PS, we're all rednecks, its just to what extent are you one. And if some how you are not, then you are related to someone who is, there is NO escape from it.
Inspiron series always has as well. The M1710 is an inspiron series Dell. Now before you all flame me saying I dont know what I'm talking about, I have one sitting on my desk at home. My fiance has a new inspiron as well, If you look on the underside there is a connector for a docking station, however for some reason you cant really find them. I was really disappointed when I ordered a docking station for my fiance so she could with one motion reconnect all the cables and leave it at that instead it doesn't charge the laptop and just provides keyboard, mouse, and network. Now you have to make sure your power cable doesn't fall behind the desk, etc. I'm hoping they release any docking station soon, because it blows.
Other than not having a docking station, I love my laptop, its rock solid, and I have yet to play a game that doesn't look GREAT on it. Works really well for development too. My next project is to create a program that will change the colors of my leds as a winamp plugin.
Yes I know, I was refering to the people way up the ladder. I actually really appreciated your post, and thank you. I should have probably made that clearer, its what I get for writing before I have my caffine intake.
Even though its a difference between civil and criminal court, you must remember they do the same thing when settling. A cost benifit analysis. I'm sorry, but if I got a bum jury, which with where I'm living *the sticks* could very easily happen. So minimum for the felonies if I was convicted, *even if only one count, both counts are used for sentencing,* was 1 1/2 years in prison. That means upstate, for a judgement call, truthfully what I was guilty of was driving outside the conditions, a traffic violation. However the way they came after me, they were claiming gross negligence and a gross disregard for the saftey of others. I was also looking at a 10,000 to 20,000 dollar fine, plus loss of my auto insurance, as well as opening me up for many more Civil claims for people who weren't injured. The truck I collided with didn't press charges, and didn't even bill me for the damage. The driver claimed shared responsibility, both our statements agreed on what happened, however there were a couple sunday drivers which claimed things that were extremely far fetched which is why the DA supposedly came after me. The most credible witness other than myself said I did nothing wrong, but people 6 cars back claim to have seen exactly what I did, and what happened. *Note the truck was on coming and had a clear view.* If I was assured I would have a fair jury of people between 30 and 50 that were intelligent, you bet your ass I would have gone to trial. I was still debating going to trial till the day I actually entered the agreement. However, minimizing risk to myself, and my fiance, as well as minimizing prision was a BFD, and as I can expunge this from my record in 2 years, and it does not limit me from any of my rights, you tell me assuradly that no matter what, in my situation you'd take the jury.
You're telling me because I did something to minimize damage, and prevent my fiance from also really getting hosed by this, "Who was a victim according to you people, since the DA is 100% right if I took a plea deal", I'm actually guilty. We were planning on getting married this summer, however we're waiting till all possible statutes of limitations on civil-cases are up. We know there was one car involved that is nothing more than money hungry. There is always more than just black and white, and to say our system is correct 100% of the time is fool hardy and stupid.
Thank you everyone for your posts, espcially those that have been supportive. To those who say that I'm guilty by the fact I didn't go to trial. The day that you end up in my shoes, believe me you're going to see things differently.
Acuatlly hardrives both IDE/EIDE, and normal scsi are measured in MB/s note the capital B meaning BYTEs not BITs. External communication channels are measured in bits/s. Only the new SATA, and SerialSCSI drives are bits/sec. If you calculate it out, a 3.0Gb/s SATA drive pulls about 375MB/s burst rate. Its marketing manipulation.
I'm not sure why you're transfers aren't that fast, for me firewire from my external harddrive is just as fast and getting stuff off my fileserver *6 disk raid 0*. I have yet to max out my gigabit system, and that was copying 3 dvd images to my desktop (U160 SCSI) *I was doing this to determine upper bandwidth from my server* and even then I was sustaining only about 60 MB/s, note thats sustained.
My firewire disk drive copies at a slightly slower rate, but at about 30MB/sec, however considering the theoretical MAX with just transfer, no protocol or system overhead is 50MB/sec. Another question is how much ram do you have, cause most certainly if your sending drive is slow, or your recieving is slow, everything is limited to that speed.
My fiance and I use crossover office with quicken. To me it shouldn't be that hard, another option is wine. Yes you could write a finacial app, but migrating books from exsisting apps would be a bear as well. There are options, its just none are for the non tech savvy. Maybe in the near future?:D
Actually it is because of the charge. The conviction was called No-lo. I admited no guilt, and it was not by jury, it was taken as a plea agreement to avoid a possible conviction on the felonies. If you're staring at a felony and they offer a misdemanor thats a big freaking deal, felonies are guranteed prision time, loss of gun rights, voting rights, and its permanently on your record. Misdeamnor, fine and maybe jail, or community service, and after 2 years you can get it expunged. Note this was for an auto wreck, my car hit ice and I lost control. My fiance and I were the only two people seriouly injured. They charged me with a count of vehicular assault on her behalf, against her wishes, and another for a man that suffered a few scrapes. It turns out later that the second count was because he works in the prosecutors office. If you look at most any paper work you fill out for security clearances and jobs, it asks if you have ever been CHARGED with a felony. If you think there is any correlation between the law and justice, you're grossly mistaken, and for charges to be filed, the DA has to be on board so at that point its on your record for good. I've talked to numerous people about this, it isn't that I was convicted of the misdeamnor, they said the charge would still stand out on a background check. As it is I had to go have my gun rights reenstated because they just charged me which was enough to revoke them, has nothing to do with the misdeamnor, the felony charge was placed into the system so that bars me right there.
Now had they disclosed the fact that the guy worked in the prosecutors office I could have had it sent to another county where more than most likely the charges would have been dismissed. They hid this fact until I entered my plea agreement, and he was not listed as working for the prosecutors office till after it was all over. They will do anything they can to further their carrers and they dont care if it tank yours. Note if I was convicted of a felony, no professional engineering licence, no security clearance, nothing pertaining to engineering, and 2 years upstate minimum. Everything I would have worked for would have been wasted. Most likely I would have won, however even if you're innocent, there's still a chance of being found guilty. As I'm 22, with where this happend, I'd have a high chance of having a bunch of old ladies on my jury, please note the jury of your peers thing is BS, its usually homemakers and the elderly. If they think all the kids are just little SOBs that drive too fast, it doesn't matter that I was doing the speed limit and that the truck sped up or any other factors. Charges alone cause serious grief, and the worst thing about it is they can do completely bogus charges.
I know it is, the privilage levels have been around since the 386. They certainly could have written XP, Vista, and even 2000 so that the system would support the ring security model. Its a matter of 1, someone finally doing it, and 2 doing it in such a way that it can easily be adopted. Rewriting every driver, and any other system level item isn't an easy adoption.
A good method to still even maintain portability is to have it as an optional compile, so if you were going to run on a 2 ring processor you could. I dont really see this happening anytime soon, they've ignored this feature for how long already?
Yup I know that one, I'm one who's been abused. I knew enough of what was going on though to keep him from doing as much damage as he wanted to. My car hit ice, and he charged me with two felonies, one for a buddy who got whiplash, and another on behalf of my fiance against her will. He wanted to send me upstate for a year and a half. They will do anything they can get away with. He sat on the fact that the second count was for someone he knew and worked with, if I had found that out I would have it sent to another county, and I had already consulted alot of different DAs in other counties, none would have pursued me on it because of a lack of evidence, and no jury would really convict. My ass of a court appointed lawyer told me to take a plea deal for Gross Misdeamnor. Only reason I did is i can have it "Expunged" off my record after two years, however it will still actually be there, I just dont have to disclose it to anyone, and if I'm asked if I was ever convicted of a crime I can legally say no.
It cost my fiance and I 2000 bucks, and we're both in college and she cant work because of an injury from the accident. They will do anything they think will better their political status.
Intel supports the 4 privilege levels, however the problem is if you want to write portable code, you are not guarneteed to have 4 levels. I'm not sure if AMD supports 4 levels, if someone knows please post, I do know for a fact that PPC is 2 levels though. The main problem as you can see, is to create an OS that starts using the features, which have been availiable from Intel for a while, you limit the processors it will run on without putting forth some considerable work.
Actually they should change from the year labels, that is so Windows 95. This naming scheme is also leaving them open for these jokes when they push back shipping dates. Maybe they should just call it "Office V10", fewer crashes, with twice the big brother. Look here [slashdot.org] if you're unsure what I mean.
However being charged with a felony is a BIG issue. If you are charged with a felony it is enough for some jobs for you to be denied, also it will permanently be on your record, even if you are not convicted or the charges are dropped. I was charged with two class B felonies that were bogus, everything ended up being pled down to a misdeamnor and even then it was a no-lo plea. Every job I've applied for since has come back and asked me about the charges. Once I go through and explain what happened. The care less that I have a conviction for a Gross Misdeamnor and care more that I had been charged with a felony. Charges alone can ruin your life, most dont know it, but its true.
Another example is you cant get a Federal CWP if you have ever been charged with a felony. Doesn't matter what it was, or if you were aquited.
Thank you. The best saftey feature you have is your brain. I have never trusted any saftey on a gun to keep it from going off, mechanical and in this case electrial items are prone to eventually fail, and thus you cant rely on them. Every person who's used that "Think of the children" line on me I've told to shut up, my father had me around guns for as long as I remember. At 4 he took me out to a range regularly, 4 1/2 I shot for the first time, and at 7 he bought me my first rifle. I have only had once incident in my life that could be considered an accident, and even then due to my discipline no one was hurt, and no one could have really been injured. If you want to know what happened, I was charging my concealed weapon and when I was returning the hammer down it slipped out from under my thumb. I have never been a fan of anything though that could prevent my use of the firearm when I really needed it, and punching in a PIN will be the last thing on my mind if I'm drawing my weapon in self defense.
When it comes to kids, store firearms unloaded till they're old enough to understand whats going on, and make sure to store the ammunition some place else. Introduce them to the children early, get them comfortable and educate them on saftey and proper handling. I'm amazed at the number of people who will pick up a gun and not bother checking to see if its loaded. Use your head and some common sense, every piece of technology can be circuimvented, the best saftey feature that any gun has is the person holding it.
Wow, I haven't seen those words in a long time. I just remember getting stuck in that damn maze and dying. I must say my favorite year was probably 1996 when my sister gave me Command and Conqure for my birthday. My parents couldn't get me out of my room for a week. I played both sides start to finish, and played many of the missions twice just to see if other ideas would have worked as well. But when all else fails... MINI GUNNER SWARM. Those were good days. A game that came out well before my time but I still play.... Collosal Cave Adventure, xyzzy, plugh, your two best friends.
Obviously you missed the... News for nerds. Stuff that matters. Cause frankly I think its freakin awesome that Quake turns 10 today / yesterday. That is SO news worthy. Just because you're too young to remember it, doesn't mean the rest of us don't appreciate it.

Everything I would have worked for would have been wasted. Most likely I would have won, however even if you're innocent, there's still a chance of being found guilty. As I'm 22, with where this happend, I'd have a high chance of having a bunch of old ladies on my jury, please note the jury of your peers thing is BS, its usually homemakers and the elderly. If they think all the kids are just little SOBs that drive too fast, it doesn't matter that I was doing the speed limit and that the truck sped up or any other factors. Charges alone cause serious grief, and the worst thing about it is they can do completely bogus charges.
I know it is, the privilage levels have been around since the 386. They certainly could have written XP, Vista, and even 2000 so that the system would support the ring security model. Its a matter of 1, someone finally doing it, and 2 doing it in such a way that it can easily be adopted. Rewriting every driver, and any other system level item isn't an easy adoption.
A good method to still even maintain portability is to have it as an optional compile, so if you were going to run on a 2 ring processor you could. I dont really see this happening anytime soon, they've ignored this feature for how long already?
Yup I know that one, I'm one who's been abused. I knew enough of what was going on though to keep him from doing as much damage as he wanted to. My car hit ice, and he charged me with two felonies, one for a buddy who got whiplash, and another on behalf of my fiance against her will. He wanted to send me upstate for a year and a half. They will do anything they can get away with. He sat on the fact that the second count was for someone he knew and worked with, if I had found that out I would have it sent to another county, and I had already consulted alot of different DAs in other counties, none would have pursued me on it because of a lack of evidence, and no jury would really convict. My ass of a court appointed lawyer told me to take a plea deal for Gross Misdeamnor. Only reason I did is i can have it "Expunged" off my record after two years, however it will still actually be there, I just dont have to disclose it to anyone, and if I'm asked if I was ever convicted of a crime I can legally say no.
It cost my fiance and I 2000 bucks, and we're both in college and she cant work because of an injury from the accident. They will do anything they think will better their political status.
Intel supports the 4 privilege levels, however the problem is if you want to write portable code, you are not guarneteed to have 4 levels. I'm not sure if AMD supports 4 levels, if someone knows please post, I do know for a fact that PPC is 2 levels though. The main problem as you can see, is to create an OS that starts using the features, which have been availiable from Intel for a while, you limit the processors it will run on without putting forth some considerable work.
Hey for pulling a number from my ass, at least I was some what close. Sorry, I dont run Office on my linux box much.
Actually they should change from the year labels, that is so Windows 95. This naming scheme is also leaving them open for these jokes when they push back shipping dates.
Maybe they should just call it "Office V10", fewer crashes, with twice the big brother. Look here [slashdot.org] if you're unsure what I mean.
Why dont you edit your front page display settings. You can select what type of articles are displayed, and who they're posted by.
However being charged with a felony is a BIG issue. If you are charged with a felony it is enough for some jobs for you to be denied, also it will permanently be on your record, even if you are not convicted or the charges are dropped. I was charged with two class B felonies that were bogus, everything ended up being pled down to a misdeamnor and even then it was a no-lo plea. Every job I've applied for since has come back and asked me about the charges. Once I go through and explain what happened. The care less that I have a conviction for a Gross Misdeamnor and care more that I had been charged with a felony. Charges alone can ruin your life, most dont know it, but its true.
Another example is you cant get a Federal CWP if you have ever been charged with a felony. Doesn't matter what it was, or if you were aquited.
Thank you. The best saftey feature you have is your brain. I have never trusted any saftey on a gun to keep it from going off, mechanical and in this case electrial items are prone to eventually fail, and thus you cant rely on them. Every person who's used that "Think of the children" line on me I've told to shut up, my father had me around guns for as long as I remember. At 4 he took me out to a range regularly, 4 1/2 I shot for the first time, and at 7 he bought me my first rifle. I have only had once incident in my life that could be considered an accident, and even then due to my discipline no one was hurt, and no one could have really been injured. If you want to know what happened, I was charging my concealed weapon and when I was returning the hammer down it slipped out from under my thumb. I have never been a fan of anything though that could prevent my use of the firearm when I really needed it, and punching in a PIN will be the last thing on my mind if I'm drawing my weapon in self defense.
When it comes to kids, store firearms unloaded till they're old enough to understand whats going on, and make sure to store the ammunition some place else. Introduce them to the children early, get them comfortable and educate them on saftey and proper handling. I'm amazed at the number of people who will pick up a gun and not bother checking to see if its loaded. Use your head and some common sense, every piece of technology can be circuimvented, the best saftey feature that any gun has is the person holding it.
Wow, I haven't seen those words in a long time. I just remember getting stuck in that damn maze and dying. I must say my favorite year was probably 1996 when my sister gave me Command and Conqure for my birthday. My parents couldn't get me out of my room for a week. I played both sides start to finish, and played many of the missions twice just to see if other ideas would have worked as well. But when all else fails... MINI GUNNER SWARM. Those were good days. A game that came out well before my time but I still play.... Collosal Cave Adventure, xyzzy, plugh, your two best friends.
In the words of Christopher Titus... "See he GETS it!"
Obviously you missed the... News for nerds. Stuff that matters. Cause frankly I think its freakin awesome that Quake turns 10 today / yesterday. That is SO news worthy. Just because you're too young to remember it, doesn't mean the rest of us don't appreciate it.
