    there is a very large difference in code from NT to W2K, first of all, secondly MS did not charge anyone for their service cracks (ooh I mean packs)

    I'll give you 2000->XP (which seems like a step backward to me anyway.) The thing of it is the only real advantage from 10.1 --> 10.2 is that Apple fixed Finder.

    So I ask you USA bashers, WHO THE FUCK ELSE IS GIVING ZIMBABWE FOOD? Is Great Britan rushing their corn to them? Is Austrialia? Germany? Finland? Canada? Oh. Well then, you pompus assholes, why not piss off? While your countries are barely able to feed YOU, continue to piss and moan about the USA and how the USA continues to feed the fucking planet. The USA gives away more food/supplies/money than the other side of the fucking PLANET (mostly because the shit is going there.) So go ahead and continue to bash the USA. I, for one, don't want my tax dollars going where they are are OPRESSING you.

    Pour some Italian Dressing in, 2-3 shakes of Montreal Chicken Seasoning, 2-6 shakes of Frank's Buffalo Wing Sauce. Add chicken. Shake it up. Refrigerate for a 1/2 hour. Now's a good time to start cubing.

    For the brave, dump it in a Wok and cook the chicken, then add the peppers and oninons.

    <i>"I just wanted to give this warning, since the post above seem to be a well constructed trolling."</i>

    Easy now slugger. I merely offered up what is going arounf the Mac OSX Perl mailing list. No need to get all nuts on me.

    It has been claimed to "fix" the Fink issue. Now Max Horn from FINK says "Thanks for the detailed reoprt. We are aware of this potential problem for anybody who installs a custom perl, however, I believe there is nothing we can currently do about this (besides posting instructions similar to your to our web page someplace)"

    The article is from Adam J. Foxon who says he's a CPAN tester for Mac OSX:

    So maybe you should take a look at the thread and yell at them.

    This is the thread title: perl 5.8.0 issue on Mac OS X w/ fink

    Go read it.

  12. Re:pumpkin pumpkin whos got the pumpkin on Perl 5.8.0 Released · · Score: 1, Interesting

    Got FINK? There's the problem. You can try this it has worked for some.

    RESOLUTION:

    The following three commands will correct the above issue by removing
    the current Storable and replacing it with a recompiled version. These
    commands must be executed as the superuser. After these commands are
    executed the aforementioned issue will be resolved.

    mv /sw/lib/perl5/darwin/Storable.pm /tmp
    mv /sw/lib/perl5/darwin/auto/Storable /tmp
    fink rebuild storable-pm

    It IS first necessary to do the mv's, before the rebuild, since fink is
    a perl script that explicitly adds /sw/lib/perl5 to @INC, and exhibits
    the behavior mentioned above.

    You will need to execute the above commands for every XS module that
    is contained within /sw/lib/perl5.

    Well see that's just the thing.

    He used a virus as the reason. Assuming the virus isn't Marburg or Ebola, it really doesn't matter _which_ virus is causing the problem. Therefore you treat what you can and let the virus run its course.

    You can't fix a virus. You can try to prevent a virus but once its there you deal with it. Like a canker sore.

    It takes 14 days for a Canker Sore to go away untreated, treated it takes two weeks.

  21. Declaration Of Independence and The Pledge... on Pledge of Allegiance Ruled Unconstitutional · · Score: 4, Insightful

    The DOI is really a rant about not wanting to be governed by a King who lives across an Ocean. It is in fact a Declaration Of Independence. So for all of you folks who are worried that its references to Divine this or that will render it Unconstitutional, stop worrying. In truth, it is mere a very nice thing that we have that has no power. It's like a family Heirloom.

    The Pledge Of Allegiance is, in fact, a pledge. It probably _is_ unconstitutional to make children recite a Pledge Of Allegiance to anything or anyone. Of course if Saddam Hussien were forcing the children of his counrty to recite a Pledge Of Allegiance we'd all be very forthright in our disdain for such heiniousness.

    Personally, I like the Pledge. I don't mind the God part; I simply replaced the phrase, or omitted it when I spoke it in the presense of Sister Mary Verylarge.

    Of course the Media (/. included) will sensationalize this story.

    If you want a story to sensationalize start talking about Flag Burning. Something every American should DO because we CAN. Nothing speaks of our Freedom more than the ability to BURN our FLAG.
