Recently I've been experiencing the same! I've been calling it "programmer's fatigue". There are probably a few programmers out there that believe "programmer's fatigue" can't be experienced by a REAL programmer... well screw off and blow it out your far heap. I've been programming for 17+ years and its not exactly 'programming' that I'm fed up with. It's the application I'm working on! It's gross, and the spec is completely out of control.
In my experience, I need to be utterly interested in what I'm writing in order to be good at it and turn out a great piece of software. Perhaps you aren't interested in continuing your project... there are obsticles in the world that software can't solve. Screwed up software design specs are one of 'em.
If you're bored with the current app your working on, find something of better interest, and you're productivity will surely pick up again.
Step away from the coputer... You're dangerous to yourself and others.
Napster does NOT store songs or a song database on their servers. You may be surprised to know that the songs are being stored on your computer and other people are downloading straight from your hard drive. So, when you hear reports on CNN (Communist News Network) that people are downloading stuff from Napster, their wrong. Dead wrong.
I think that the music industry has a profound tool here in front of them, probably the best media for reaching a LARGE audience since radio was invented.
I think the RIAA should team up with Napster and put an end to this whole thing!! Napster is profitable... obviously, thats the place to be!!
Damn it... if the RIAA would simply team up with Napster, they could share the profits, heavily promote the industry, and experiment with some new merchandising methods.
God damn it... why does everything have to always be so difficult? I remember seeing an episode of Lassie once where Timmy was stuck in a well. There was an easily accessible ladder right next to Timmy that he could have gotten out of the well with, but... instead, Timmy sent lassie to get help... help arrived in the form of a helicopter and they literally air-lifted Timmy out of the well.
What the fsck?
Send a memo to the RIAA... either be a part of the program or get out of the damn way.
I'd really really really like to write something funny here... possibly even 'smart-assed'. Unfortunately, this article isn't even remotely funny! Any time the senate gets involved with something, its bad news. They'll screw this up somehow, and we'll all be listening to the worst crap you can imagine. --cr@ckwhore
I'm begining to think we've all been had on this one... there is no way in hell this can be a serious article, unless it was written by a true idiot for true idiots This article is truly moronic... I could only stomach about 1/2 of it before reaching for the 'back' button.
I did get a kick out of the the line citing Microsoft Productivity tools, like Office, etc... I promptly respond: Productivity? Where? I'd like to know, because everytime I try using office for something, it always becomes an exercise in diminishing productivity!
Success of the NT platform proves that users don't want a command line? What? Thats an oxymoron.. Success/NT? I don't get it... I've never heard of anybody that seriously likes the NT platform... and I talk to IT managers all day long!
THis article is a good source of humor... read it lightly and bask in the knowledge that makes you a hell'of'a'lot smarter than the idiot that wrote it!
HAHAHA... this is a kina funny story! I honestly wouldn't have bothered, or I would have at least compiled a custom boot/installation kernel on another BSD box that supported CD-ROM so that I could have used the CD.... would you have shit a brick if CD# 417 was bad or something, and you had to start over?
Someday, we'll be installing OSes with stacks of CD-ROMS... that'll be when I need to install FreeBSD on this machine:
Did anybody actually read the linked artical @ CNET? Did anybody besides me notice that the writer placed links on certain promiscuious words? (Climax, Withdrew, etc...). Sorry this is a little off-topic, but it is somewhat funny to think about what was going through the writers mind...
Check out RapidQ @ http://www.basicguru.com/abc/rapidq It's a great freeware language with a large group of developers on the mailing list... it started as a basic derivitive, but has grown into much more than that... Here's some of the aspects that may be of interest to you and your kids:
-Text based, GUI based, or CGI apps -Compile binaries for Linux and Windows! -program with structures, objects, or combination of both -definetely more powerful than 'basic', includes features inspired by c++, perl, and many others...
If you're coming from a 2.2x kernel (I wouldn't suggest the 2.4 test kernel from anything less than a good 2.2 installation) you'll probably want to go grab the latest modutils package... it'll make life easier.. trust me.
The ultimate goal of the ISS, commercialization of space, proves a disturbing theory. Human beings as a species are slowly destroying ourselves... perhaps its human nature that we chase the almighty dollar instead of exploring frontiers for discovery and the advancement of our kind. We are definetely a product of our own society now, proven when a dollar for entertainment value is more important than collective learning.
With that theory in mind, the ISS is a terrible thing to waste on what will eventually become an amusement park ride at "Brainwashing Children Everywhere" Disney.
Recently we added security features to Outlook that make your computer safer and less threatening to your children. By doing this, we've also reduced the risk of "CPU Bomb" attacks, where a hacker can turn your CPU into a bomb and blow up your house.
One specific detail of our new security measure is strict limitations placed on.ZIP files..ZIP files are very dangerous to use and are a playground for hackers transmitting virii. We at Microsoft are among the first to recognize this problem... this is why we are introducing a new type of.ZIP standard... its the new Microsoft SafetyZIP (tm). Its safer to use because nobody can send you a virus in a SafetyZIP file. In fact, nobody will be able to send you anything usefull in a SafetyZIP file... especially those hacker linux users.
The new SafetyZIP standard* utilizes the latest technology in high security email attachments, where only Microsoft programs can send attachments to your inbox.

Hey Blowhard... think of all the time and energy you are consuming in your 'efforts' to be PC. "PC" is a crock of shit, and everyone knows it. As you can see above, the word "MANPOWER" has nothing specific about it regarding MEN! And so what if it did? Does that simple statement alone make it a dirogatory remark? I don't think so.
Check this word out sometime: "NIGGARDLY"... sounds bad, right? Guess what... it has absolutely nothing to do with black people. -- it means "stingy"... feel free to look it up.
You should really spend more time learning, understanding, and comprehending the english language.
The final thought for the day (This'll send you PC Homos for a loop)... Ever watch BET - Black Entertainment Television? I wonder what would happen if a white guy started White Entertainment Television? It seems to me that a lot of PC only works in one direction.
If you really think about it, the entire concept of political correctness is politically incorect by its own definition! The concept of PC is to favor one thing over another based on its properties... isn't that politically incorrect recursively by it's own definition? Hmmm...
I utilize MANPOWER to be productive... and remember this:
"Sponsored By" is the tricky language that PBS uses to hide it's advertisements... can free software be compared to PBS? You 'betcha!

An important observation about AOL -AOL=MICROSOFT?
on
AOLization of America
·
· Score: 1
A quick observation... obviously, AOL owns Netscape! Can somebody then please tell me why they ship Internet Explorer (proprietary version) on their CDs? Hmmm? Anyone? Anybody ever thought that AOL=Microsoft? What if....
hehe -- I had this problem with my 350 chip... I had to run it at 200 -- I eventually found it was related to my stupid SIS530 onboard video because it uses "shared memory" (what moron invented that?) -- I went out and bought a 3dfx voodoo3 3000 and fixed the problem.
Ever notice that media are always pushing people into little groups, referring to them as 'counter-culture'? What IS counterculture?
Is there is some kind of mysterious "mainstream culture" that I missed the boat on? What do people in the "mainstream culture" do? Nothing? It seems to me that one would have to live a bleak existence to NOT be in a so called 'counterculture'!
Its all relatively stupid... every damn person on this earth can be shoved into a 'counter-culture' based on their passionate interests...
I overclock machines... what are you trying to tell me?
Ummm Ok... this article gave me a good idea! I just wrote a quick utility that will re-arrange the molecular structure of an old 386 chip and turn it into a pentium III.
stupid morons. You know something? There are probably people who now actually believe their computer is going to explode! Don't forget that the WWN is one of those papers that is still running the stupid JonBenet Ramsay thing... Jesus is coming tomorrow. The Bat boy just hacked my into my monitor and re-arranged the pixels. I heard that the 1000lb woman can hack into my toilet paper, rendering it useless!

WOW!! When did they invent that? Cool -- and it comes with Netscape? Damn it.
