You should totally be an envangelist. After I read that, I yelled out TESTIFY! Everyone around my office looked in to see if I was ok. I assured them that I was, but they didn't seem to believe me. I am so ready for 2004 to be here. I'm calling for regime change.
I had SDSL at a previous job without a phone number attached to it. It irks me that I know it can be done, they just won't allow it. Then again they charged us $250 a month for it so they could loose the $50/month for the pair that would have been a phone. Not that they'd really loose anything by offering it to residential. I'm sure they'd claim to if we made them testify before Congress.
I couldn't agree more. However The Bell Bitches are every bit as evil.
Lets say I want to run VOIP to bypass SBC. I have to have Cable. What about DSL you say? If I want DSL I have to have a landline so I can't bypass them. It takes cable + VOIP to bypass the Bell Bitches as of now for any ADSL. This is a total L.O.S. I've called SBC and asked them why I can't get _just_ DSL. There answer was "WE need a copper pair to run the signal on". Ok, then run it like you would if I were going to have a phone. Poof, copper pair. "Uh...we can't do that". Why? "Let me speak with my supervisor". "It is not possible to have DSL without a phone line". No it's not I just went over this with you. "Sir, it is not possible, if you'd like I can take an order for Phone + DSL and have a technician dispatched within 5-14 business days." Sure there is DSL competion...sure there is.
P.S. !@#$ you SBC

I use it when I just don't want to pick up the phone. Not really usefull except for saying "rebooting the server in 15 minutes. Save your work. Consider yourself warned." I used it a lot more in the NT4 days then I do now though. Far from useless like the article would have yuo believe. Granted, for home use it should be turned off.
I grew up there and I've never heard it. Then again I've had people from this town swear they saw 2 foot long rats when they tore down the steel mill. Maybe you can only hear it if you drink a 12 pack of Budweiser (pronounced butt-wiser in Kokomo dialect) every day.

You must have misunderstood what I said. Why are we WILLING to pay them too much. For expample does it really cost 100 million for plane X, or is someone lining pockets on joe taxpayers dime. Can't they make it for less? Governments always pay too much for things. Like paying retail for MS windows. when you buy in volume you're supposed to get a discount. It just seems a bit much to be spending. I've always wondered why we don't bring some things internal. For example why can't we have a government funded school for engineers. In exchange for your free ride you agree to come work in our labs and assist in making a damn fine jet that we can now make for (insert arbitrary percentage) cheaper because it's in house. So to answer your questions I want both good equipment and better pay. I think both can happen if we work smarter on things. Come on now, don't you think they deserve to live above the poverty line?

I for one love this country and everyone in it. Even when they are confused and hatefull such as yourself. We have our problems here, but giving food to the fat does nothing to help anyone. I don't really think we need a huge military. We do need one, but we're spending a bit much on it. I'd prefer to give the soliers more money though, not the defense contractors.

Hello Rush, how have you been? I haven't listened to your show lately mostly because of the garbage you spew from your mouth like you just did. You are looking much better now that you're not so fat though. Now if you would just stop saying liberal as if it were a cuss word we'd get along even better.
I bet you secretly troll alt.politics.democrats to flame don't you. Admit it.
BTW socilism is not healthcare for those in need. If there was a salary cap _then_ we can talk about living in a socialist state. The truth is that the gap between rich and poor is growing every day. If the glutton CEOs and top level execs would stop lineing thier pockets maybe we wouldn't need national healthcare because there would be more jobs. CEOs make well over 50x what the average worker in thier company does. I've seen numbers as high as 500x. Maybe if it wasn't legal for corps to call themselves an american company yet move "home office" to Bermuda for a tax break there would be more tax revenue and the rich wouldn't have to shoulder so much of the burden. You can't expect someone who 1) couldn't afford to go to college 2) Can't get a job that gets him above the poverty line to shoulder the burden now can you. The republicans always tell us that giving money to the rich will help create jobs. BS. Jobs are moving out of this country at an alarming rate. All republicans care about it the bottom line, thiers. Then you have the balls to call Dean a socialist becuase he wants to take care of the sick? How dare you.

I agree. I hope he gets the dem nomination. When do they decide who gets the nomination? Is it at the national convention? Or is it similar to the electiorial college, you weigh each states votes?
Anyway, I think it great what's going on. He's getting a lot of cash from those who actually vote for him. It's not to hard to get 40,000 people who like you to give $20. Granted it's only $800,000 and not the 100+ mil or whatever obscene about the retard currently in office spent. Get 1 million people to send you $20 and now you stand a chance. I remember seeing Dean on cspan and thinking "man, this guys great. Too bad he won't get the nomination, he makes a lot of sense. And it's be nice to have a doctor in office for once."
You guys should check out Dean's weblog It's got the current happenings and Meetups
Ok, so you can make Hydrogen from biomass. I really wish they would give an example instead of just saying that it can be scaled from small output for batteries and such. Does the entire earths surface have to be covered with biomass before we have enough for our energy needs, or can we just use somehwere the size of Iowa?
Since I was bored, I went to look at apple's site. Something struck me as odd. I think they are using the same chip for all three models. From a "hurry and get these out the door" view it makes sense to use the same chip, why take the extra effort to detune them, just run it at a lower FSB.
1.6GHz PowerPC G5 800MHz frontside bus 200*8=1600
1.8GHz PowerPC G5 900MHz frontside bus 225*8=1800
2GHz PowerPC G5 1GHz frontside bus 250*8=2000
Quad pump them and there you have your 800,900,1000 FSB.
I'll be willing to bet that someone figures out how to make a the 1.6 a 2.0 within two months. Then again, I've been way off before. The MB could be waaaaay different.
Maybe it's just the x-files in me, but I think it's a conspiracy. Follow the money and we'll see what's really going on here.
RIAA and crew makes a ton off of us when we buy a $16 CD.
They loose money when people DON'T buy the CD (lets not get into the "no they don't they never had the money" Vegas looser arguement)
They may not,who the hell knows at this point, make as much at 99 per song as they do at 16 a CD. So, why take that chance when they know they make more money than drug dealers the old way.
The love to sue people who distribute songs for $0
The people getting sued can no longer say "there is no downloadable legal way for the PC, they are screwing me"
WHEN this fails they can (laugh and) say they tried and go right back to screwing and sueing us.
I don't think they could start from the beginning and cram it into two hours. I suppose they could pick up at the end of the movies. Everyone has thier own way they think it ended, but I always got the impression that Shinji was given the choice of what to do with the world. It's a movie after all, you can get away with just about anything and not really have to explain yourself. Take Hulk for example. They changed how he became the Hulk. From gama rays to nano if I read correctly.
But as criminally disturbing and emotional as this issue may be, the pending litigation has nothing to do with the professor. Employment of the technicians ended due to issues completely unrelated to this isolated incident, which will become clear as the case progresses through the legal system. Claims made by the plaintiffs cannot be taken at face value and should not be trumpeted as fact via media when they are based solely on unsubstantiated allegations.
Translation: Yeah, we fired them for that, but we didn't think they'd sue us. We'll just say we have evidence that will appear in court. We'll pull a tardy report from a few months ago, bam, permission to fire them. Never mind that the guy they told on was a golf buddy of mine and asked me to get rid of them as revenge.
Do corps do this kind of thing? You'd better believe it. I used to work for a utility as the network admin. They would come to me and ask for me to find "evidence" for them to fire someone. Usually all that took was a weblog or a copy of an email of them doing something against company policy. I hated doing it, but it would have been my job if I said no. The reason they tell you you are fired is never the real reason.
Millenium Force is such a bad ass. It's the only time in my life I've wondered why I got on as I went up the hill. TFD is supposed to be like 120ish feet over that hill. Thankfully it shoots you up it rather than drag you up like on Millenium Force. Go up quick, go down quick, done. I know somone is going to die this summer, there is no avoiding it. It won't be the rides fault either, i'm sure they will have it posted that you shouldn't ride with a bad heart. Yet someone will do it and keel over. It's supposed to be low g-force though, so who knows maybe it will be ok for all after all.
There is no way I would want to support that monster. I didn't see any mention of what happens when a drive fails. It's cake with most any SCSI Raid controllers. Look for the orange light, change the disk. Even promise makes IDE enclosures that do the same. With this system, do you have to take down the node when a drive fails? Sure it's a ton of space, but I'd give up some of the space for some easier administration. It only costs $70 per promise enclosure. That'll add about $12,000. So what. when you've spent $450,000 what's the big deal.
I bet I end up seeing this on the sci-fi channel. People believe in aliens with no more proof. Next we'll have an "eye witness" ex-SCC guy come forward and tell us all about whats going on. You know, the "cover up." Am I the only one that rolls my eyes when I see things like this?
I tell everyone I'm Canadian when I've overseas anyway. So I might as well live there. I can lean to like that pisswater molson golden. I so "eh" already, so I should fit right in. How's the IT job market? If I can afford a house, car and fast interweb then I'm there. Screw getting held for two years. I'm out of here.
hmmmm....then again...I could just run for congress and fight the stupid laws. Ok, that's what I'll do. Everyone who lives in Indianapolis vote for me ok. I'll try to get Carson's district when she retires.
I'm with it as long as the use Red for one side and Blue for the other just like they did in the GI Joe cartoons. After all, you have to be able to tell who is shooting at you.
That included antibodies in my mind, but we all think differently. Basically, If my body didn't make it, I don't want it. I'm really picky about what goes into me. I don't think we're getting full disclosure on what happens to all this processed food. Thus why I don't eat processed food in general. It's harder finding organic things and 3x as costly, not to mention time consuming preparing them. The years I'm gaining by taking care of myself I'm loosing in the hunt/preperation. So I guess it all evens out.
