I refer to String Theory as "German Engineering", How brilliant people make a case for the implausible by making math so complex that experimental testing is impossible.
A small, closed mind that can't imagine anything new deserves our pity, what a dull world it would be if Ben Franklin or the Wright brothers had thought that way!
Just imagine somthing the size and mass of an aircraft carrier moving silently over our heads, or a small gas tank size reactor capable of powering a house.
How's about suggesting the use of an email program that won't display html code by default and only displays plain text? It would make the most common type of phishing impossible (less possible)!
Something about the never ending media coverage (USA) of the futile and redundant Middle-Eastern street theatre of incoherent screaming mobs of idiots firing their guns in the air and setting fire to scarecrows makes me wonder why the world would care! It seems to me that the only way to keep from "offending" their "cultural sensitivities" is to wall yourself up in a room and isolate yourself from the rest of the world!
Like we didn't already know that they are spying on everybody!
OK, let's review: If they call you a "terrorist" you can be imprisioned forever without charges or an attorney, you can and will be tortured, your family may be rounded up too and God forbid you should "look" middle eastern then you'll be shot five times in the back of the head while "escaping". I sure am glad that I live in a progressive western democracy! Oh? whadyya mean America has the largest prision population in the world and the third largest number of "executions" why youze must b a commie or a terrorist!
I wonder if it's from being fat or embracing a "low risk" lifestyle? How many fat people skydive? How many fat people do extreme sports? Mountain climb? Run in front of bulls in Spain?
All I really wanted to point out is that when the bitch said that "Americans have no God given right to a job" she should have had the sense to realize that millions of unemployed Americans would read about what she said and NEVER by an HP product again.
And I quote the greedy bitch: "Americans have no God Given right to A job".
A true representation of what's wrong with the pin stripe suited paracitic pukes that take multimillion dollar bonuses while laying off thousands of workers.
How's about booting from a read only CD like Knoppix or Tom's RTBT and saving via an encrypted tunnel to an overseas secure share or a tiny USB keyfob drive? then you could put it in a mayonnaise jar and bury it somewhere! And of course if you must use the phone be sure to tell the other party that it's being bugged so the flatfoots (flatfeets?) know that anything you say is probably bullshit for their benefit.
"just because you're paranoid doesn't mean that their NOT after you"
I can't get a "regular job" however little pop up jobs allow me to make a staggering $50.00 > $200.00 per month! as I repetitivly repeat the same instructions again and again to the same two or three friends.
I just give the money to my wife to buy groceries or pay bills.
I may take up wandering in public talking to the air and urinating in doorways, maybe I can bum "spare change" in the Safeway parking lot!
When I was doing Y2K stuff at CalTrans my Team mate (senior Un*x sysadmin) and I were sweltering in the hot muggy office environment while some of the other employees (particularly those who hail from hot climates) were walking around in polar survival parkas, sweaters and gloves. I used to find reasons to work in the server room (62 degrees F) just to be comfortable.
I applied for a position as sysadmin there a couple of years ago, during the interview process I pointed out a few "things" that cought my eye, don't really remember what they were now, was I "overqualified"? maybe I just smelled bad, didn't get the job.
That's why I shut PC Hackers Nest down in 2000, nobody cared anymore, traffic was non-existant, and only two users ever bothered to log on (other than myself).
The "oldest strategy game in the world" isn't! Wei-Ch'i (Go) was invented by Emperor Shun (in China) (2255 - 2206 BC. but! The Royal Game of Ur and Tau (The Game of Twenty Squares) existed before 2600 BC in Mesopotamia.
Hey cat, sometimes new patches break things, maybe you remember when NT4 SP6 first came out and Notes servers went down everywhere forcing M$ to roll out NT4 SP6a!
Maybe the crummy app that they were running would break if they installed the aformentioned patch.
Also, who ever thought they could use Windows where only Unix or OS/400 has a sufficiently established record of reliability has rocks in their head.

We have not even started to scratch the surface!
Just imagine!
A job.

The first computer I actually bought was a Tandy 6000 M68K running Xenix!
It had an HDD too 10 or 15 meg (i think). I may still have the manuals.

IMHO

There used to be a difference between them, not anymore!
That's why I'm a registered Green

Fuck her and the horse she rode in on!
End of rant...
Does it feel better to be ripped off by a fellow countryperson?

If I want to use Ethereal to see what's happening on my network, I'm gonna use it, and fuck anybody who don't like it!

Hey kid, it's your attention span that's the problem here! Your parents aren't 12 anymore (they can pay attention for more than 30 seconds).
Yeah, I'm old and cranky!
Why not "print" or "goto"?
I'm gonna patent "yomama"!
In addition to lining my hat with tinfoil I will begin any trip by microwaving all government documents!

My personal favorite Spyware removal product is Spybot Search & Destroy (Free) http://www.spybot.info/en/index.html
Works great and has resident protection.
