So don't drive like a fucking geezer. *You* create an unsafe traffic situation when you drive slower than the rest of the traffic. That's great that some fucking sign says '35' and you can sit, smug, in your car and think "those evil people have violated the law! Heretics!"
Here's the deal: you're dangerous. Drive with the flow, don't be some bootlicking whiner.
So what do you propose? Tax information residing on a private computer? I'd feel more comfortable if my city tax information resided on a city computer, considering that is where it belongs.
You fucking swine! How dare you say that some non-Linux system can do the job better! He has a hammer, and the world is his fucking nail. L4E Linux for Earth, baby. If it isn't done with linux, it wasn't done correctly.
Their rates are fucking shit. You can get a Sam's Club AT&T phone card of 1000 minutes for $37.00. Stateside, that's 3.7 cents/minute. If I call Switerland, it's only 8 cents a minute. DialPad is a pain in the ass to deal with, sounds shitty, and costs 6 cents a minute -- plus I have to be sitting right next to my computer, not walking around the house, smoking a cigarette outside, or mixing a drink when I'm doing that. I'd need a live in concubine for all that, and they cost a lot more than 2 cents/minute.
Prepaid phone cards are still a much more convenient deal -- dialpad is just too damn expensive.
I call France and Switzerland quite regularly, and in those cases, DialPad is shit.
you go to a school that is not exactly a 2 year degree mill, but you cannot use google. I shall show you the way:
Click Here. Choose the first link and read. I go to a shitty state school. It took you longer to write that bullshit Ask Slashdot than it would have to use a little common sense. Are you used to having things just handed to you?
Their explicit warning is similar to the cry heard on many newsgroups one asks a simple question: RTFM. They do put the "i agree" buttons at the BOTTOM of the page for a reason.
The devil's in the fucking details. That's for sure.

This, unfortunately, is everything a joke is not.
Said bullshit must actually be bullshit. Unfortunately, this bullshit is not bullshit enough. Refer to this document, the Darwin FAQ:
Q. I heard that Darwin runs on Intel processor-based PCs. Is that true?
A. Yes, and we're partnering with the Darwin developer community to enhance support for this platform.
Darwin is, BTW, the open source version of fucking OSX.

I've also heard of people using radioactive decay for properly decent random data -- a la Hotbits. Apparently the Pentium III and P4 include a truly random number generator. I was impressed by this, but I'm not sure how the hell one uses it. It seems that most software still used pseduo generators. I suppose it takes additional work to call upon this feature. Here's what Intel said in a press release: "Present software pseudo-random number generators still have a pattern that a very sensitive code breaker can ultimately detect and break the encrypted message."

Prior to the availability of decent true and pseduo random number generators, a large number of books were published that contain strings of random numbers -- simply because creating such data was hard to do. Most decent universities, probably every single land grant university surely, will have such books. I know we do here. They've been long forgotten, but are an excellent source of truly random data. No need to do all the futzing around, just pull some data from the books.
I'm not saying anything either way, just making a little point: you might be breaking the law -- piracy laws and shit. I remember a few years back, on the Apple Network Server mailing list, someone asked for if anyone had a copy of A/UX -- the argument being that it could not be purchased from apple any longer. The list admin posted a pissed off comment saying that this was completely off base and illegal and would not be permitted.
I thought his comments were stupid at the time, but the law will bend you over on this one. I wish I could find the post, but Apple took all posts older than two years offline. Chuq Von Rospach was the list admin at the time. This is just a little tidbit to be aware of.
I've found this to be an effective option when dealing with Iomega. Be sure to follow these instructions exactly.
On a level surface, place your feet, about shoulder width apart. Place the Jaz disk on the floor between your feet. With your hands on your knees, slowly bend over. SLOWLY! Ok. When you get your head as far as it can go between your legs, pucker up and kiss your own ass.
After you're done, look at the Jaz disk, gurgle up a bit of phlegm, and spit on it. Repeat as often as necessary.
Because, if you read the history of it, Gilmore has this fucked up, romantic view of the Internet that worked in 1990, but fails in 2002. He's an arrogant romantic who cannot be convinced that his failure to take even the most mundane, non-intrusive steps to secure his open mail server can and did cause harm to many people.
I didn't have any sympathy last year, and I have even less now. Just because one is an 'Internet pioneer' does that abdicate him of *any* responsibity for being a poor sys-admin?
What verio wanted was symple. He just wanted some publicity and attention.

You're forgetting the obvious: the terrorists have harnessed the QUARK.
No, the proper thing to do is eat glass and shit on books. Fuck man, what kind of savage will eat a book when one can smear a handful of dung on it?
