Got a new IBM Think Pad for work the other day, comes with 802.11b built in. Decided to test out a new VPN client and realized I had "tone" on the wireless. So I checked out how many points I could connect to. Not surprisingly on 7th Ave in NYC there were a lot of point to choose from, and all were unsecured. So I picked on and began working out the kinks of the new VPN Client software.
About and hour later I am working (though the VPN) with my feet up and the laptop on my lap when i notice some people gesticulating wildly at their window pointing at me! I open my window (5th sotry) and they are yelling at me to get off their network!
Oh I agree, although I don't suppose my post made that clear.
I too am an avid GTA VC player and as of today I haven't gone on even one rampage through a mall killing all those that I would like.
I think the thing of it is if you have a damaged kid who is already a little nutty, and unlike other cases most people are saying he was nuts, not "quiet", then maybe a game like GTA VC would be a bad thing.
But how does a gamemaker know that an unbalanced kid is going to play the game? They don't, nor should they be pressed to know that. That's what parents are for.
Like the Columbine parents massive failure, so too has this father. How did you not know your son had your fucking arsenal of guns and ammo?
My extremely well mannered 3 y/o (at the time) son got hooked on Power Rangers at a baby sitter's house where he spent 4 hours a day for a few months before we got him back into Pre School.
The Power Rangers continued at the house (the Pink one is, after all, really hot; and have you SEEN the villianesses?) The boy was emulating the Power Rangers' moves on the screen, mostly spinning himself to the ground in bizarre death scenes. Then the kicking began. A lot of kicking. A really disconcerting amount of kicking. We took the Power Ranger tapes away and sure enough a few weeks later so did the kicking.
I can say in this particular case the violence was definitely a manifestation of what he was watching. A quick switch to Bob The Builder and a sparing amount of Sponge Bob Square Pants and now my son is mostly non violent.
Except for the kid across the street who he beats to a pulp about once a week. But that kid is asking for it.
Your points are well taken for a person of student's age... but for a 30 something professional they mean shit.
News Flash the only lucid point of college is that worthless piece of paper you get when you leave.
What they should really do in college is annoy you take 100K USD and hand you a scap of paper with some words on it -- the whole process should take 3 weeks.

I have turned off The computer several times and every time I turn it back on it says "You may safely turn off your computer"
"What does it say next to the power button?"

In all honesty I can't find a damn thing in XP without leaning over to my asst admin and going, where is...
I love that it finally has TAB completion in the CMD (which my asst admin sees as old fashioned) but other than that it is crap.
Thank GOD I come home to OS X every night.
was a pretty good book. I don't know which version I bought but it made me the UNIX man I am today....
hmmm, maybe that isn't the ringing endorsement I thought it would be.
Robots will, issue, mail, deposit, post, clear, the nations unemployment checks leaving us all more time to spen the 405USD a week!
use your left hand at least half the time you use your right hand...
Of course you'll have to use your left hand for about 3 years now to make up for lost time, but then left hand, right hand.
This thread is about beating off at work; right?
I mean OW what are the chances OW of OW doing all those OW things at OW (damnit) OW at the same OW time?

Apparently all 5 gallons of water evaporated due to the Slashdot effect.
stop writing crap tht no one wants to hear. pretend every album is a Greatest Hits album.
Man when that rubberband finally snaps... that shit is gonna hurt!
by my brain says Python.
And the real fact of the matter is kids in the 80s got more involved with computers cracking games than they ever did "programming"
Yo ho, yo ho -- a Pirate's life for me...
1 -- other people involved
2 -- money involved
all it takes is one person in the group to wreck this and leaving you standing alone and unemployed
In any event you don't need your friends to go with you, grow a set and split if it is so bad.
where's the foot? how am I supposed to know this is a joke?
Where's that confounded Waterman?
