good times. I remember when you guys sold out, and I wonderd how long It would take for this site to go to hell. thanks for the hard work to get an extra 10 years. good luck
I had a big block chevelle once, one of the stering coupler (rag joint) bolts sheared off. I would drive the car with no problems for as long as a week at a time with no problems. It was a beutiful car, but at random times it would lurch to the left or right and try to kill me. Running vista is like that. Im on vista now and Im wondering if i'll be able to hit the submit button before a random reboot. Im looking up at slashdots url at the top of explorer 7 and wondering why it has a yahoo icon. It's the other little things that drive me mad, vista reminds me of trying to get the sound card to work on suse 5.0. When the bluetooth stops working for some random unknown reason and I need to plug in a usb mouse, the little recursive you need a mouse to check the search subdirectoy box to load the mouse driver forces a reboot. Vista is a rotten platform for vmware. I just bought my first mac because vista SMB file sharing is broken. Do you guys remember windows ME ? Back then you had a choice, win2k pro, or ME. No real choice now Microsoft has one O.S. and you can choose version 5 or 6. Im done ranting, I should be thankfull, I'll make lots of money supporting this turd over the next 6 or 7 years.

A commercial ozone generator should work. I've used them on used cars owned by sweaty curry eating smokers, and it works great. The car smells like a meadow after a thunder storm after treatment.

It might take a few years before the black van drives down your street sniffing unencrypted 802.11 packets. By then I'm sure they will be able to get a search warrant over wireless fax, raid your home and confiscate your piracy equipment. I bet your city council will declare piracy equipment a "public nuisance" so that they can use, resell or destroy all that neat cutting edge geek equipment like your computer, router TV. And stereo. I just hope the police don't have time toughly search the hard drives they get..
In the U.S. we have a traditional remedy for removing dangers to the community who have not broken the law. TAR and FEATHER the bastard and Ride him out on a rail.
Unfortunately lawyers, judges(lawyers) and legislators(lawyers) have frowned on this practice(self interest).
Murder is wrong. (Somebody get the rope) A large portion of the community should band together to solve this problem.
"The primary source of carbon/CO2 is outgassing from the Earth's interior at midocean ridges, hotspot volcanoes, and subduction-related volcanic arcs"
"If CO2 concentration increases in the atmosphere because of an increased rate of outgassing, global temperature will rise. Rising temperature and more dissolved CO2 will lead to increased weathering of crustal rocks as a result of faster reaction rates (temperature effect) and greater acidity. Enhanced weathering will use up the excess CO2 thereby cooling the climate."
"THE INORGANIC CYCLE
Roughly 75% of the carbon injected into the atmosphere by non-organic means (usually volcanoes) finds its way into deposits of calcium carbonate (limestone). These deposits make up the largest reservoir in the carbon cycle. Limestone is formed from bicarbonate (HCO-) ions weathered and dissolved in the ocean. The ions, along with the skeletal remains of marine life accumulate on the ocean floor. Limestone formation involves a series of chemical reactions, all of which have a net effect of removing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. Weathering of limestone deposits by rain tends to return carbon atoms to short-term reservoirs, thereby replenishing the concentration of atmospheric carbon dioxide. The inorganic carbon cycle is directly linked to the carbonate-silicate cycle, which controls availability of the calcium ions that are required to form limestone.
THE CARBONATE-SILICATE CYCLE
The carbonate-silicate contributes to, and regulates the amount of atmospheric carbon dioxide found in the environment. If one of the components of this coordinated cycle is changed, the effects of such a change are evident through out the entire carbonate-silicate process.
As rain falls upon the earth, chemical weathering releases the carbon dioxide trapped in rocks, rainwater, etc. where it is then transported by rivers and streams into the oceans. Here, the carbon mixes with marine sediments, the decaying skeletons of organisms along with silicate materials, and settles on the ocean floor. As plate tectonics move, the sediment is scraped off the ocean floor and pulled down into the earth's mantel. It is here in the earth's crust where temperatures are high enough to cause calcium carbonate to undergo a metamorphosis into calcium-silicate rock. For each calcium carbonate molecule that gets transformed, a carbon dioxide molecule is released. As illustrated in the below diagram, the extracted carbon is either then pushed out into the atmosphere by volcanic activity or through hydrothermal vents in the ocean floor. "

Old time radio and vintage porn would be gone by now but for the internet. Moors law and the ever increasing size of hard drives has allowed most of us to keep ever larger collections of junk, some of it will be historically valuable. Is it really possible to listen to a 10gig mp3 collection? I'm sure no one would delete it for fear of wiping out the good stuff. 50 years from now we will probably have that mp3 and porn collection on a very tiny corner of some optical storage cube along with a bunch of old my document folders and/home directories.
I work for a car dealer. We have a T1 and a real nice linux box. The dealers primary goal is to host his web site in house and provide high speed access to his employees. Thats just about done. Our next step is to pick up a portmaster and give our customers free isp service along with a free first oil change when they buy a car. We will be able to keep people informed about recalls and service reminders. Many medium bussnes have already spent the money on bandwidth and servers, it's easy to give it back for little or no cost.
I bought a tradex dvd/cd/... player about two weeks ago. It works fine, better picture and sound than my frends apex 600a. You can find the specs at http://www.tredex.com/Tdx/Eng/Products/product_vie w.asp?dept%5Fid=3000&sku=3005500
It plays mp3s but I had trouble with high bit rate variable ones. No song title display.
Cant beat it for $220.00
If the computer lemon law is written like the automotive one I could have a new computer for life. After a year and a half I would start calling support complaining about how the computer just shuts off all by it's self at random times and I loose all my work (pull the plug so the app logs show this). Send in the computer for repair. This is where it gets interesting in lemon law, Insist that you want the computer repaired and not exchanged. Let them fix something, anything. When they have made any repair they have acknowledged a defect. Send the computer in two more times and now you have an official lemon. Ask for your refund and get your Moors law upgrade.
This stuff happens all the time at car dealers. Some law offices specialize in it. I know one customer on his 4th new suburban in 6 years.

Ethenol is fermented from plant products, no net change in CO2. The CO2 in the keg system is taken from the air, no net change.
First they came for my beer, and I said nothing.
The steering column lock is a real suprise when you do it.
I use one, great chair. I just bought an old chrome one on craigslist, they make a base with wheels that brings it up a few inches.
It happens sometimes. People just explode. Natural causes.

They can put the vitrified waste under 4 inches of concrete in my driveway, no snow shoveling all winter.
When setting up a new user I got ...
invalid user name you can't use / \ (
or names equivilent to administrator,guest or billy
For a while I thought that bastard in Redmond had a hidden account
The machine name was billy.

Get a mirror of your hard drive to look for "kiddie porn", then install the software. Go outside and trip the Main breaker.
Do that enough times and you'll have Shakespeare for wall paper.
