Had a Fujitsu laptop, like a P133, in 1998(?) and I loaded Redhat 6.0 and could NOT get the Xserver to work. I spent about 6 mos (now and again) at the command line putzing around on tryng to get the Xserver working. In that time I learned more about Linux AND Windows than I ever knew even existed. Suddenly alot of Windows oddities made sense... in the sense that I got what they were _trying_ to do. And it left me with a hollow feeling whenever I used Command... Why doesn't Windows have...
After meeting vendor wants to see my "intrastructure"... so I take him to the server room which due to some repairs has a HUGE A/C unit with a big silver pipe going into the ceiling. Geek that I am I have affixed a sticker on it that says "UNIX".
We go over server sever and their functions and he points to the A/C and says, "Oh you guys run Linux?"
"No just regular old Unix."
"So what's the bad boy do?"
"What's it do? Look at it! Look at the pipe on that thing!"
"Oh yeah..." he says knowingly, "What's the specs?"
"Ahh! Ahh! The Government is run amok! My library records, my library records! Patriot Act! Ahhh ahhh!"
Guess what. If the 43 y/o dimwad had the WebTV call Domino's Pizza no one would care. He chose 911.
This has ZERO (0) effect on me. I'm never going to break the law this way. (Beside who the Hell has WebTV anymore anyway? Were those the last 22 people?) This guy broke the law in a stupid way; fuck him. Don't break the law and you won't go to jail. There is no slippery slope here -- just one assclown going to jail because he should.
Hey I'm a psycho lesbian and I am, am, in-credibly horny and want to go to an All Girls Catholic High School Dance and make sweet, sweet, angry love to all the thick thighed American girls.

The server room was the HVAC room and it was about 30 degrees in there at all times. The AC was so loud I had to use a phone outside the room and I only knew it was ringing by a red light hooked up (by me) in the HVAC room. When the AC clanged on it would suck papers off my desk, and pulled my hat off more than once. When I told them they had to move me the told me to quit.

I loved that thing. I became a man on that computer... so to speak.
My dad, latex gloved and static wrist banded just couldn't push the 8k memory chip in... he was afraid of breaking it. But I needed (_needed_) to play F15. So I unceremoniously shoved him aside and snapped it in with satisfying, manly, click.
The next was an A500... best computer ever. 4096 colors _and_ half brites!
I can't remeber now what those 65 thingies are but I remember writing them. I did it with charcoal, a small floating rock and a duck I always keep in my pocket. I kept an onion tied around my waist, which was the style of the times, and I dreamt of marrying my comely cousin. Alas I lived in Springfield not Shelbyville. Anyway... I was writing code that I never saw before in BSD Free, Open or otherwise.
There was a boy with a blanket being pulled by a beagle. He was quoting Chaucer and blathering about a pumpkin, possibly Great. In any event he took from me my charcoaled rock and yelled, "You're a good man ellem!"
I hadn't thought much about him until slightly after I invented a small programming language called Sea which two nice gentlemen asked to look at, I showed it to them and another man took my hand-held rolly-ma-jig I called a rat. Anyway...

but it gave new life to the pr0n industry! especially the schiesse video industry. MP4 was invented for poop flicks.
Now this is OK to say Luser b/c it was a vendor.

"This sucker is pushing 250,000 BTUs."
"Wow! Man on a Windows box that'd be BSOD City."
"Yes. Yes it would."
We didn't buy his product.

I would like to sell my Karma for 24.95USD so I can purchase this book from Bookpool.com.
Who will buy my Karma?
I would like to have this book on my desk by next Wednesday.
Pfft! If I had that kind of drive I wouldn't be unemployed now would I?
I got "Best of the Perl Necklace 3" for Christmas, do I need to have seen 1 & 2 to understand it?
Didn't you get the memo from Tom Chiusano that we can't say Bukkake anymore?
I mean it's not like the Republicans were downloading music or anything.
Not allowed. It made a secretary cry once. I'm not joking.
it was my "office." and I wasn't the desktop guy.
They put me in the server room once.
The server room was the HVAC room and it was about 30 degrees in there at all times. The AC was so loud I had to use a phone outside the room and I only knew it was ringing by a red light hooked up (by me) in the HVAC room. When the AC clanged on it would suck papers off my desk, and pulled my hat off more than once. When I told them they had to move me the told me to quit.
I did.
point to their wrists and go:
Bbbbbbbrb-Swatch'em, Mars!
May I marmu dack face into the elephants?
Go to college and become highly trained in a field caosts let's conservatively say 40000USD.
Now I should get 5.25USD/HR? Same as the kid witht the jet engine strapped to his back to move a leaf down the block... That's fair.
Carly, dearie, I hope they outsource your job or drop you to minimum wage real soon.
First they came for my Apple ][e but I upgraded already
Then they came for my Amiga 500 but I upgraded already
Then they came for my Dell with Windows 98 but I was using Linux
Then they came for my Palm Pilot but I was using paper again
Then they came for my laptop but it was in my car
So they came for my laptop in my car and there was no one left to help me!
Seriously? That was a fun game. Unlike that GODFORSAKEN Simpsons Hit & Run....
Ugh I fekkin HATE that game!
Johnny Lightening Simpsons Cars!

Is the deal that _everything Bush_ is connectied to is evil?
How can anyone complain about and Anti-SPAM law?
If Bushco was really going to "use this" they'd have kept Saddam in a locker until, say, September and _then_ trotted him out.
