yes, it is friday, first day of spring, a time for a new beginning. Let today be known as the day of no patents.. wait im gonna patent that idea.
Its snowing outside.. its the first fricken day of spring and its snowing! it took me 20 minutes to drive 6 miles cuz some crazy bitch in a white car could only go 30Mph.. the roads arent that bad, crazy lady...
Patents? oh, "Today TomTom got sued by FredFred for its alleged infringments on creating a name using the same word twice."
Yes.. thank God it is friday.
dont stop grilling, but you stop eating outside.. beer tends to freeze, and its hard to hold a fork with gloves on.
I have a tradition on firing up the grill when we butcher deer (november). nothing like eating fresh tenderloin after a long day of hunting.
I agree.. cook on the grill all year long, nothing better then food cooked with charcoal, better taste.
Fahrenheit just makes more sense to most of us. 30s = cold, 40s = chilly, 50s = cool, 60s = decent/might need a windbreaker, 70s = nice, 80s = warm, 90s = hot, etc, etc.
Im from minnesota:
60 above zero:
Californians shiver uncontrollably.
People in Minnesota sunbathe.
35 above zero:
New York landlords finally turn up the heat.
People in Minnesota have the last cookout before it gets cold.
Zero:
Californians fly away to Mexico.
People in Minnesota get out their winter coats.
10 below zero:
Hollywood disintegrates.
The Girl Scouts in Minnesota are selling cookies door to door.
20 below zero:
Washington DC runs out of hot air.
People in Minnesota let the dogs sleep indoors.
40 below zero:
ALL atomic motion stops.
People in Minnesota start saying...'Cold enough fer ya?'
50 below zero:
Hell freezes over.
Minnesota public schools will open 2 hours late
back to the subject, anyone thinking of a 104F data center is crazy, its back enough when it gets ot be 80 in the office, i couldnt stand working in that heat... Although i have (in kitchens) but thats different.
I agree. As original as linux is, cant it come up with something better? Everyone the uses Linux knows of 100 ways its better, why not show that.
In this day in age, everyone wants to coolest things, and THAT can be accomplished with linux.
show fluxbox with transparencies, or compiz kickin ass.
Id love to see a TV commercial showin how 'cool' linux is (and it is the definition of cool)
Chix dig BSD.. damn strait. there been many times were showing of a little geekyness has gotten me girls. wow, your so smart (not really i just run linux).
Cmon guys, lets do something original....
-rebooting is for adding hardware
Its too bad people practice this kind of business. Company Execs, lining their pockets, not caring about ethics. I have always prided myself on being fair to a client, and making sure they get what they want.
This is deeply disturbing to me. i hope the people of/. have a more ethics when it comes to this, and know that just because it happens, doesnt make it right.
From a smaller business point (like mine) i dont need to advertise because my work speaks for itsself. People dont come to me because im an only option, they ask for my labor because they know im good at what i do, and im honest. Its a good feeling to know that you took the extra step to give what you were asked of.
i might sell a tire with a hole in it, but i make sure they know that hole is there, and i just might throw in a plug kit for free.
yea, 'think of the mosquitos' doesnt work for me. kill em all. Im all for using a trillion dollars to create death lasers, and then modifying the shark species to fly so we can mount them.
i think the second good reason is killing mosquitos. the first is the flying sharks with fricken laser beams!
I would think these 'star wars' devices would be set up by well know spawning areas, or around villages. Yea, doesnt make sense to create a satellite for targeting these pesky little insects.
I think id be neat to have one of these, although i wouldnt want to drop it. Ive had my Dell inspiron for 5 years now, ad still works great. Although i have never dropped it and treat it like a baby. Its too bad people are saying Dell is going down hill. Ive never had a problem with mine, and i know of alot of satified customers. I guess i might have to look around when i go to buy my next laptop, if dell is going to be going cheap.
I would put money on it to say, Metallica is one of the greatest rock bands. Maybe not now, but since 1981, how many records have the sold. And even today, can they not pack 30k - 50k into a stadium, everytime? who else can do that? Maybe im urguing with a bunch of people that like Britney spears or classic rock. Ive listen to metallica since i was 6, and everywhere i go, everyone knows who Metallica is.
Their sound might have changed, and they might not be as heavy as they once were, but they still have some wicked guitar licks. Lars is awesome on the drums, and their lyrics are pretty damn good.
If you dont like metallica thats fine, go listen to some pop music.
no im saying that once you buy it, you can copy your media (back it up) or copy it onto your Ipod, without another license. and should be able to download it (for personal use) because you have a license that you bought, to listen to it
Im not sure how the copyright for music works, but i would think if you own the CD, you have a right to the music, and downloading it would be legal, because you bought the right to have it. I would also think that Lars owns a copy of Death Magnetic.
and for the whole Napster cry, get over it, Metallica stood up for what was right and im glad they did it. just like anyone else that holds a copyright or patent on something, its there to protect you, and when people bypass that and download illegally, something needs to be done.
Also, about a week after DM came out, i googled "Death magnetic CD" and the first link was a download to the whole CD.
If you dont like DM, dont buy it.
Metallica Rocks, Pirating is wrong, and You suck.
Although i havent played the first FEAR, i think im going to go and buy it. It looks fun. Ive always liked the FPSs. I remeber shaking (from adrenaline) when i beat the boss of the first episode of Wolf3D (i was like 7?) and then on to getting up at like 5am to play Quake before school. Know after owning all the Quakes,Doom trilogy, Wolfenstein, ET, all the half-lifes, i think im ready for another game. Its coming out for PC right? know i just hope it will run on Wine(cedega).
Kinda funny since i watched "Down Periscope" this weekend.
It is kind of odd they didn't see each other. Good thing they were in combat conditions. they'd been screwed... No pun intended.
This post might apply more to city style environments.
i live in a town of 1000 people Walker and work in a place that has 30 or so employees. Now while working on projects, we also have what the client wants, but there is always instances where there are different ways to do it. We have the chance to suggest ideas doing meetings about the projects, and our company is always taking suggestions about work env. etc..
But the easiest thing to do, is just talk to your supervisor, "Hey, i have an idea about this...". also, if you want to back it up, its always better to have some good research about what you want. Ive always found that if you want to push something, you have to push it your self, the boss isn't going to help if hes not ready to implement. So information on the subject, maybe a presentation ready, some good resources, and then prepare a speech for what you want.
like any good sales person, you should be able to sell a ketchup Popsicle to a lady in white gloves.
And just remember that they might shoot you down, but I'm sure your opinion will be more valuable the more they find that you always have something worthwhile to investigate.
Flyspeck 3.. is that like point size, but compared to the width of one piece of fly poop?
what would be good at an MS store... MS keyboards.. maybe.. Xbox & games... Id go there just to harrass the employees.. walk in with a "chix dig openBSD" tshirt and ask them if they have any skill in pickin up girls.. sure, It'll be fun.. If i worked at a MS store, id have to do it drunk, or really high.. then i could handle it... Windows? What windows? close the windows, we're clam bakin this place!
not really:
Everytime ive ever opened a word (Office 2008) doc in OOO, Its messed all the formatting up. You cannot create full access DBs and forms in OOO. im sure theres a tond more formats from the MS office suit that OOO doesnt handle. The big thing is people need to be able to handle a file format that everyone uses, which, unfortunately, is the MS format. Now dont get me wrong, i hate windows with a passion, but sadly enough i make my pay through MS products, and i an forced to do so, because open source cant do what MS apps can. There is no equivalent to:
MS office suit (OOO doesnt cut it)
MS SQL management studio
Visual Studio (.NET development)
IE for testing apps
And im sure there's people just like me that run proprietary software, that is only on windows (I run ESRI ArcGIS software)
As much as i love linux, the tools aren't there for developing the way I need.
THEREFORE: I wouldn't mind one of these laptops (although its not like my Dell inspiron doesnt allready have XP and slackware) because i am a slacker, and i still need Windows to make a buck. I think one of the bigger issues is, why would you want a pre installed Linux distro? Most likely what they give you wont be the distro you want (ubuntu or fedora) If they were to pre install with slack of BSD... that would be a different sotry!
I think be intensive tasks, they just mean things you cant do in linux. eg: Use linux for web browsing, checking email etc.. use windows for gaming, Powerpoint, MS office. basically what you need windows for. I use Windows for my intensive programming, because monodevelop doesnt support Code completion for VB, and Squirrel-sql doesnt have the drag and drop for views with big joins.

That makes me imagine playing wylie coyote tricks on my girl friend ... Where did the door go? its over here ... THWACK!
guard 1: hmm, that must be a powerpoint presentation
guard 2: ITS A ROCKET LAUNCHER!! NOO!!!
if its wall mounted, why flexible? walls not straight? i say you dont need a flexible screen, but maybe a building inspector...
I heard the Navy and Airforce and moving to this new flight simulator that just came out
