Too bad this guy is an ass. The only surprising benefit I got when I lost my job was that because I had only recently moved the state of Arizona at the time I had to file for unemployment in my previous state of residence, Oklahoma. This was surprising in that I actually got more money in my checks. I lost my job when Clinton was still president and the economy was already sliding before Dubya even took office.
As for Greenspan, he decided to prematurely burst the economic bubble by raising interest rates. And all that corporate corruption and greed occurred under Clinton's watch. I voted for Dubya mainly to get back at the damned Democrats. This is their punishment for not doing anything about him (Clinton). We do need to dismiss Ashcroft, repeal the Patriot Act, and dismantle Fatherland, er I mean Homeland Security. You think the police state is bad now. Heaven help us if Hillary gets elected in 2008 and gets her hand on that apparatus. So vote for Dean or Clark in 2004.
Where is our Marshall plan for Iraq? 100 points for liberating Iraq, but -110 for screwing up the peace. Thus dragging out the economic recovery.
This is not the bitter rantings of an underemployed programmer. Oh, wait. They are. Never mind!
This new/old novel may not be very good, but it puts Heinlein once again in the public eye. At least the SF public eye. I think the real intent is not to draw attention to this particular novel, but to draw attention to the already known body of work Heinlein did publish. I read the unedited version of Stranger in a Strange Land and I saw why it was edited.
Grumbles from the Grave gives an excellent insight into the life of the writer. And Tramp Royale his around the world tour book has material for some of his later works including Stranger. But again it puts Heinlein in the public eye and helps to build a lasting legacy.
Though there seems to be some religious debate in what direction for the Heinlein faithful to pray to Butler, Mo, his birthplace; Annapolis, MD where he went to the U.S. Naval Academy; or UC Santa Cruz Library where his papers are housed (I've seen them, interesting stuff).
I have a suggestion for replacing lightbulbs. You can always pluck out your eyes with a grapefruit spoon. Of course if you are a woos and aren't into pain, you can always use candles.
I'm not a lawyer, but I've watched a lot of Judge Judy, Judge Wapner, and Judge Brown, not to mention Divorce Court and Fashion Court. So in my television informed opinion (I saw it on TV so it must be true), I declare the lawyer in the SCO case to be null and void, and SCO to be in violation of logic, reason, and good taste.
Also I declare Microsoft guilty of conspiracy and Bill Gates should be taken out and beaten with California's recall gubenetorial candidate/pornstar Evangylene's enormous (.)(.)breasts until he is unconscious.

Bleurgh. Boddingtons like Guinness? Guinness is a stout, Boddintons is a 'bitter' or ale.
I said nothing about taste. Of course they are different. I said Boddington's was an ale (it's not bitter at all) and Guinness a stout. I said it had the same consistency or rather texture. They are both thick and full bodied and have a nice creamy head that lasts a long time. And I like them both.
People used to drink beer because the water was unsafe to drink. Cholera or Beer? You decide.
Samuel Smith's Oatmeal Stout is almost a meal in itself. Guinness Stout is pretty darn close too. You might have drink 3 or 4 of them though. Boddington's is an ale but has the same consistency as Guinness. I'm partial to Fat Tire.

And that is why MS is attacking Linux. Not because of a threat to the desktop. It is because they are about to be shut out of the market that they have been trying to take over for the bast eight years. If they don't stop linux now, then millions of dollars of R&D are lost.
You should see the size of the SUN Crocodile Tears® I'm crying right now for Microsoft. It's all about the MS FUDâ!
The more I read about this lawsuit the more I'm convinced that SCO is a Microsoft Patsyâ. It doesn't matter if SCO loses as long as it damages the Linux community in the eyes of corporate users. And Microsoft Patsy â will drag this out as long as it takes. It's a lose-lose situation for SCO, Linux, and IBM and a win-win situation for Microsoft.
All I can is say is that SCO must have a terminal brain fart. I know that Texas Instruments reversed their sagging fortunes by enforcing patents and suing companies. I guess that SCO thinks they can do that too.
I had to administer a SCO box at a former employer, and all I can say is that it was the least friendly UNIXes I've ever dealt with. I say goodbye to SCO and good riddance.
In defense of SCO, we'd all be cheering them on if they were suing Microsoft, and I'd bet we'd try to find some justification for it and cheer them on. Note to SCO--If you survive, go after Microsoft! Oh wait! You are probably their patsy. Er that's Microsoft Patsyâ. Never mind.

The biggest problem with Sun is that Scott McNealy is about as lovable as Bill Gates, and they closed Java. And being nice to Microsoft doesn't make one bit of difference.
Repeat after me "All phone companies are evil, but, some are more evil than others." Yes I know it's a take on Animal Farm's "All animals are created equal, but some are more equal than others."
For example, GTE was one of the most evil phone companies around but then they became Verizon. US West, affectionately referred to as US Worst, is now Qwest, and affectionately referred to as Q-worst.
I work in an outsourced vendor call center for a low rated wireless carrier. And we do have some of the worst tech support. I'll never get one of their phones. I'll give you an obscure clue as to who I work for (It's not Verizon either). We do not offer international text messaging to the Phillipines.
"All phone companies are evil, but, some are more evil than others."
If it's a Microsoft programming language, it's got to be bad. Ah but who can fault a visionless man for creating a software empire on visual basic, DOS, and bullying?
Networking works when you have friends who are employed. If they are out of work too it's kind of difficult to network.
FYI. I was out of work for 15 months. And now I'm stuck at a call center job. It sucks being chained to a desk, but it's better than living in a cardboard box.
This headline is misleading. I want survey results not to take a survey. I don't have one of the few remaining IT jobs. I want to know how much to ask for if and when the return and I can apply for one.
I already have a callcenter job. DON'T TAKE ONE! It is the worst fucking job I've ever had! Being chained to a desk and talking to pissed off people all day is totally fucking evil. At least if I were a galley slave and chained to a pair of oars I'd get to go places.
I'd get I only stay here because a) no good jobs are available b) the insurance and benefits are good and c) the wages are enough to keep a roof over my head. Yet it beats flipping burgers at McDonald's (unless of course an angry French mob destroyed it).
The Amiga is dead. The Newton is dead. BeOS is dead. Unix is not dead. It just evolved into Linux and BSD. NeXT evolved into MacOS X. DOS was forcibly mutated into Windows XP much like the animals on Dr. Moreaux's Island wer forcibly mutated into something vaguely resembling humans. "Are we not men?" or in this case "Is Windows not an OS?"
As long as we are at it. In addition to VHS being better than Betamax and Windows being better than MacOS we must say crack cocaine is better than milk, Democrats are better than Republicans, Hitler was better than FDR, and Oreos were better than Hydrox.
This very prescient of Monty Python to include this subliminally in the credits for Monty Python and the Holy Grail.A note on interpretation. Moose is the Norwegian codeword for the MPAA:
A moose once bit my sister...
No reali! She was karving her initials on the moose with the sharpened end of an interspace toothbrush given her by Svenge -- her brother-in-law -- an Oslo dentist and star of many Norwegian movies: "The Hgt Hands of an Oslo Dentist," "Fillings of Passion," "The huge Molars of Horst Nordfink"....

It's nice someone is getting training, but what does PHB stand for?
I'm glad Apple is using Macs in their workplace. They must be tired of being ridiculed for using all those outdated Amigas, BeOS, and NeXT cubes.

Wow! The RIAA is doing what it should have been doing in the first place. Maybe they aren't so evil after all. Unlike the MPAA which is always evil.
So can they do an inverse class action law suit? One plaintiff and thousands of defendants. That would be so cool.
The best way to reduce piracy is to lower the price of what you are trying to sell. Jacking up the price encourages piracy on CD's and DVD's.
