Hey, I'm as white as they come. Pat Boone is right up my alley!;) I just hadn't heard 'bust a 40' before. Hell, I just learned what benjamins are a few brief days ago! I have fired a glock, though- and I thought you'd refer to it as a 9, since it's a 9mm gun. 40 calibre makes sense, though. Thanks for clarifying!
No puff daddy mp3s, though. No baggy pants, either- although if I did, it'd be because I gotta have my Chuck Norris Superkick jeans for extra martial arts power in ordinary-looking street clothes (except for about a square foot of extra cloth in the groin.) Besides, dockers let me kick plenty high as it is.:)
PC-Rdist is the way to go. At my college we're sort of using it as a replacement to ZEN. ZEN is notoriously flaky, too.
PC-Rdist can manage the filesystems of 95/98/NT, as well as the registries. The way it works, you store an image on the server, that contains the filesystem and registry exactly how you want it, and then you have the workstations synchronize to that image. Since it's just file-sharing based, linux+smb will do the job.
What about a mail campaign to our fine representatives in washington? Why not let them know that backing out of treaties like this is stupid! Not just email-writing, which we're all so good at, but physical mail and faxing. It costs a little more in effort and cash, but it's far more effective. (think about the poor student intern who get assigned to read/delete the rep's inbox!)
It wasn't ranked higher because the worm exploit wasn't intended as a taking-down-systems kind of hack. He made a programming mistake, like they mention in the article. That's what caused the problem with the computers... not his breaking and entering through a known point of entry. It was mildly clever... but only like word macro viruses are mildly clever-
Arrgh! Yes, to some extent right and wrong are subjective - is it wrong to wear yellow? Is it right to like the spice girls? Is intellectual property theft? These small, human-invented things that differ from culture to culture are indeed subjective, and to a small extent you could call them right-vs-wrong.
But... there are a lot of things that are universal- across all cultures. No society would think it's a good thing to kill your folks. That society would disappear after just a few generations. Many cross-cultural moral values are reflected in language, for example; every language has a word for "murder" - as defined as wrongful killing. Murder could be considered universally bad. Now, a death could be taken as murder by one culture, and justifyable killing by another, so the standards for murder don't hold, but the idea of murder does.
Subjectivism irks me. It makes me want to shake the subjectivist vigorously and yell "Grow up!" Thank God my compatriots and I define this as acceptable...;)
So, women want to do stupid things (date stupid men)- let them! You don't have to lower yourself to dating them. Let them be animals. Let them live in intellectual squalor. They'll reap exactly what they sow. You deserve better than someone who doesn't treat you exactly how you deserve. Eventually, you'll find someone who does give you just what you should get. It's all about patience.
I tell you, the sweet, seductive, flowing moves.. the circular footwork, the passing and parrying (as opposed to blocking), the throws and the softened physical contact (ever seen indonesian snake style? ooh baby!)
Some people say they wouldn't employ him because he didn't have "credentials." Because he had no "education" or "experience." Some people said he was "disgusting"... and that he "reeked." They said he "makes babies cry" and "frightens small children." They don't like how he would "drink maple syrup straight from the bottle.";)
Hurry, go quickly to the WAR IN HEAVEN homepage! Go to the characters page! Go see THE BEST VIDEO GAME EVIL EVER: UNCLEAN!!! Here's a direct link to UNCLEAN: War in Heaven Characters.
I know what I'm going as for Halloween! (hint: it's UNCLEAN!!!!)
I just picked up a refurbished psion 5 for about $250, and it meets your specs almost completely. The thing is very compact, has 8mb of ram/disk, a decent screen, and a keyboard that's almost big enough to touch-type as easily as a regular keyboard (eg, you have to learn to use it slightly different, but I can easily type 60% my normal rate on it). And it's networkable.
Take a look at psion's web site for more information.. then take a look at pricewatch to find it cheap. Good luck!
Computers themselves are just plain boring. Say you're a mega-leet haxxor trying to break into some system... (not a skript kiddie, trying out one root kit after another; although that'd be boring too.) You're the real cheese, so what do you do? Pour over the source codes, look for holes, etc. Text terminals aren't interesting to look at to the public! Hell, they're not even interesting for me, and I have to write perl on em all day!;)
And once you've broken into a system, what do you do? Transfer money from billg's account to yours? Copy the solaris sources to your own ftp server? Leave backdoors? Again, what on earth could possibly interest Joe Beer in that? Now if you had porn in the netscape window in the background...
If it weren't for the massive kinds of medical technology, would these babies live on their own? It's not necessarily a good rule, of course,... but... if my child was born with one of the most severe kinds of birth defects (having the organs on the outside of the body, rather than the inside; these babies have a zero-percent chance of survival), I'd rather have him or her die painlessly right away than live for a few days in pain and then die.
Of course, I'm not a parent yet, so my mileage may vary.
it loses the leading letter of its original name! You can picture the intel ad execs sitting around doodling about their new processor, the Titanium, when one would-be comic artist draws the T bursting into flames and falling off...
and Andy Grove, in another fit of drunkenness, has them make it so.
"Wait, no, Andy, it was just a dumb scribble! No, we can't put Superman in the ads, either!!"...
How come every one of these people who espouse the "geek and proud of it" attitude talk about how they've gone through the hell of being different, but it's all OK now because they're going to make so much money?
Since when is money a good reason for doing, or putting up with anything? I've turned down plenty of jobs and taken a much lower station in life, finacially speaking, because I want to enjoy what I'm doing, and my personal satisfaction is far more important than my pocketbook. The net effect is that I have the time and freedom to attend courses at the university, talk with my friends, and do a lot of martial arts practice, which working 80+ hour weeks and earning the big bucks wouldn't let me do.
Maybe the fixation on the almighty buck, sacrifices be damned, is the real problem with geeks today.
Nintendo of America filed a class-action countersuit against all bad parents today, citing the lack of intervention in their kids' lives. P. Toadstool, spokesprincess for the NOA legal dept, cited "poor parenting, bad role-modelling, and short battery life" as prominent points in the NOA countersuit.
Parents could not be reached at work or in their brand-new Volvos for comment.
But what about the dangers of space? Our Astro-men have erected the safety barrier around our solar system, bless their all-American hearts, but what have they done about Space Lightning or the Moon-plague?
I won't catch a hot air balloon to the Space Hotel until they can guarantee me that breathing that imported Martial air is as safe as apple pie. (not the communist freeze-dried kind)
When more companies start doing this, it's just one more nail in the coffin of all those who oppose open source on stupid grounds. (there are legitimate reasons not to support it, of course- but the 'no-support' one isn't of them.)
I would be more interested in a site that generated actual domains names that don't appear in any dictionary, such as fojar.com and grack.com - they aren't words, and they aren't combinations of words.:)

Just a helpful info- I think you meant 'bust a cap.' We could kick back a 40 or sip on gin and juice, and the bust a cap. Word. Yo.

Pyzzo software makes PC-Rdist.
Oh no! Palms start sweating, pulse rate skyrockets. So you reach for your psion... fumble with the controls ... Loading Casanova program!
"Hey," you suavely begin, "I lost my phone number. Can I have yours?" (Tee hee hee! you think)
Who says this technology wouldn't be useful for freaking EVERYONE ? ;) ;)
Hoorj!

Do you read POKEY THE PENGUIN comics? They're great! I hear your coworker Kevin Cloud reads them every day. Please send those guys money, Mr Marmack!
You know the url, you love the penguin! Who's your friend! Who's your god damn friend!!!
