You're right! I been seeing this 09 F9 11 02 9D 74 E3 5B D8 41 56 C5 63 56 88 C0 number sequence everywhere lately! I was freaking out. Thank you for giving me my sanity back
Look, I'm all for making sure people like this get attention, but arresting him is just stupid. There is no crime in putting pencil (pen) to paper. It has HARMED nobody.
This goes back to one of my earlier rants about the pussification of the West, where "feelings" are worthy of losing jobs, jail, and even... jihad (death) (the Three Js). We've become that which we fear, totalitarian.
"the Internet is the collection of all public knowledge to date"
If the Internet had no connected knowledge, it still would be the internet. It was the internet before all that knowledge was available, it is the internet after.
What you described is a BENEFIT of that communication system. What you described (bad car analogy coming), is like someone saying the purpose of a Corvette is to get you laid by a hottie, when that is nothing more than a side benefit of the Corvette. The purpose of the Corvette is to get you from point A to point B.
Internet is a collection of independent communication networks, connected to form a much bigger communication network through mutually shared collaborative connection agreements; a General Purpose Communication System.
People describing IP, TCP, Web, Usenet, VOIP all miss out on what the internet REALLY is, communication. The means, methods, routing and all of that is what makes it work, but not the purpose. Purpose is ONLY communication, nothing more, nothing less.
6'5" actually, not built anymore, but once upon a time. My penis size doesn't matter unless you're my wife. AND I drive an eleven year old van I bought new. My other (wife's) car is a Taurus.
I've been almost burned to death, so death doesn't frighten me. Too many people have never experience being close to death, so they fear it.
Great, 1890s men were men, not like the sissy mochalattefrapachino drinkers of today.
And your girlfriend sounds more like a man than you. Probably is more of a woman too boot.
And I can back it up. Water Polo, Swimming, Judo, and Triathlon.
Your whole point about the VT shooter and the Hero is exactly my point. How many people did the hero save by sacrificing his life? Something Wimps can't answer, because.... they'd rather be "alive" than save 100 souls. Which is the same mentality of the hijacking protocols in place before 911. Be a sheep and live? Is that your answer?
Do you know that's how dictatorships start? Right, you know that, RIGHT?
History is shaped by silence, as English philosopher Edmund Burke said, 'The only thing necessary for the triumph [of evil] is for good men to do nothing.'
I can't figure out if the supposed 51% includes you or not.
And yes, I know it supposedly refers to women, but not all women are offended by me calling wimpy men "Girly". I'm pretty sure that less than 90% of women would be offended. In fact, I'd venture a guess it would be closer to 50% of the 51% making it... about 26% (or so, give or take). Which would mean, that the other 25% or so are "Girly men" who are offended at the term, if the number is really 51% of the total.
As for being a troll or not, it doesn't matter if 95% of the people think I am or not. It only matters if I am, and since you are basing me being a "troll" on a small number of posts, and not the aggregate, I would suggest that anyone making judgments of my entire being on a few posts is more of a troll than the person making the post.:-D
And, I'm sure I'll be modded TROLL for this. You know what? I don't care what people think of me. Too many people are TRUE Sheeple, trying to impress everyone else. Take your Troll Mod and mod the REAL trolls (GNAA, Frist Post, etc), not people who have an opinion that is different from yours....
This is a symptom of a greater problem. It seems, nobody is willing to do the hard work needed to accomplish great goals, because it makes them look.... bad when they fail. There is this whole mentality of "gotcha" in the world, where everyone blames everyone and everything else for "failure". Everyone is out to "get" the person who screwed up, so every effort is made to lower standards so that more people "succeed" even though, the real measure of success hasn't changed.
The craziness of this all is not based upon reality but rather on "feelings". Can't "hurt" the "feelings" of the poor souls who can't do something by actually being truthful and saying "You suck at that, let's try something else".
So, we've raised a generation (or two) of wimpy girly people, who wear their emotions on their sleave, and base everything on said emotions. "He offended me" waaaaaa. Grow some backbone people, and quite being a two year old.
A university of athletes gets shot up and murdered, while an 81 year old man was the only man, "Man enough" to do something. The stud athletes were jumping from windows. How pathetic is that?
Four airplanes are crashed into buildings while passengers sat like lambs doing nothing. One airplane had some REAL MEN and took out the hijackers.
We've lost our gung ho, wild west attitude, it as been pussified from our society. This is what happens when you let women and girly men run things. "Don't take the hard math, because it makes us look bad". "Don't fight back", "don't try and fail, better to not try at all".
1) IT is dual model, it is TOP and BOTTOM of the food chain. It is the driving force and the force which is driven. Only short sighted people view it one or the other.
2) Professionalism goes beyond T-shirt and Jeans. Those are only symptoms of unprofessional behavior. On the otherhand, I will not wear a tie to anything but the highest level meetings because it just gets in the way, and the HELL if I'm crawling into a dust bunny cave with anything more than a $30 pair of pants and a $20 knit shirt. But on the other hand, I'm usually prepared to do just that except when coming out of a high level meeting. There is a reason why many wear only Jeans and a T-shirt, we tend to get dirty in IT.
3) I say "no" all the time. Well, not directly. I say "Sure, how much money you got". There is NOTHING impossible with Tech, the only questions are "how much" and "what's it worth to you?"
4)See #3
5) I'm better than most people at Tech, but that doesn't need to be rubbed in, because often times, they are better at their job than I am. Although, there are a few people, I'm sure I COULD do their job better than they could.
6) I don't have to respect my boss, I have to respect the position. There is a fine difference. If my boss is a back stabbing weasel there is no amount of respect I'm willing to give him/her. I will respect the position of "boss" though.
7) I try to change the world AND set my feelings aside when required and do my job. Every time the time is right, I promote less costly alternatives to the proposed solutions, and in-house capability over outsourcing.
8) Money does matter, it is the best measures of value we have (not the only one).
9) Work isn't always fun. There are times I absolutely hate doing something (Installing windows for the 1569th time), but I can almost do it blind folded at this point, so I just do it. I loathe it, and it has not been fun for about.... ever.
10) I am not separated from the business, and actually understand more than people usually give me credit for (BS in Finance, not Tech). I always learn about the business I'm working in. It helps me make solid IT decisions and recommendations (see #7).

Well, duh.
That WHOOOOSH sound is the sound of you missing the point.
Actually, there have been Command Line utilities for macs for longer than that.
They meant "Microsoft" based versions of those tools, rather than those that work with all sorts of computers and systems.
... RDP
Remote Desktop for Mac is based on VNC, not
OpenLDAP isn't AD
ssh? a commandline on a Mac??? Say it isn't so.

"Second, you are insulting about 51% of the world's population."
Had to think for a second, but THANK YOU! You just proved my point.
So, what is the difference between insulting 1 person and 51% of people (which is a lie by the way, and insulting on its own merits)???
Woooooaaaaaahhhh COWBOY, slow down t here.
"third, being an ass for the sake of staying true to yourself is.... wait for it.... being an ass."
