Slaver stasis field, wow. Been awhile on that reference. I was gonna just call you a troll for using the slavery word till I remembered Ring World and the Man Kzinti Wars. Went something like this, de-acceleration we don need no stinking de-acceleration. Accelerate all the way there, turn on the stasis field and let the General Products hull take the hit. Might turn a considerable part of the land side into heat but, WTH we got there quick.
Didn't they call that the expansionist period? Isn't that over with, we can not plant our flag on anymore territory without the other major players getting a little upset. Nice inflammatory comment though.
You see there is a problem with capitalism. Particularly when it is applied to life, death, incarceration, housing, food,... Hmm, does not seem to matter which system I choose, the current model of capitalism practiced in the US will find a way to screw it up.
Dude, do you work for an oil company in Texas or a solar cell plant? I mean you shoot down ideas left and right with inflammatory language. Then you say solar and wind is the only way to go? sup?
Yeah, I want to live in yogs world. Electric cars and solar cells at the house. Charge some sort of battery during the day and use that to recharge the electric car at night. Put some kind of solar panel on the car's rooftop so it can recharge itself a bit. We have to quit reaching back into the past and grabbing our energy.
I don't think so but close. It sounded like a big old rambling article about the good old days. Most of the crap he was bitching about is easy to deal with. Clicking on the X instead of the minimize button? these are typical user issues.
The article should have been titled, "Old geezer/hack gets tired of the new fangled tech and bitches a bit. Now Get Off My Lawn!".
multipart/mixed did not say you had no idea what you were talking about. You did. The comment was snide-like but saved in the end with an excellent and pertinent reference to a wonderful book. Now for your homework, what's the name of the book?
I think it was 1982 in Houston. My sister had just shut down a small computer/software business and went back to good old UofH to finish her degree. She told me the only way to make these things secure is to deny power to the box and put them in a closet and never touch them again.
Yeah and just think how fast they will be with 8 legs. Have to spin one helluva web to keep the horse off the ground,... Hmm, better think on that one a bit before we go making web spinning 8 legged horsie spider beasts from hell.
This is a job for the Geek Squad. Or any of the thousands of IT companies out there. Dude, no one in any IT support job is even close to indispensable or irreplaceable. You could get hit by the proverbial bus and never step foot in that place and the company will be just fine. Any decent IT/Network Admin type could get in there and figure out your setup. If not, then you have deviated wildly from normal practices and even then they could still do it. It just might take reloading some servers and or plugging into the back of some routers but it could be done. External hacking is hard but when you have keys to the place and can pretty much touch the hardware, come on.
If you are a truly a trusted asset talk to them about becoming a permanent player. Make sure you stress your commitment to the place and let them know you want the company to succeed at all costs. They like it when you tell them they are #1 in your life. To quote the pyromaniac from The Stand, "My life for you" . Let's say something like this, Hey boss man (or woman) I been here awhile now and really like the place. I have built us a nice little infrastructure that I think you'll agree works pretty well. If possible, I would like to be come a permanent part of the scenery and maybe even move into a management position or at least be involved in decision making. I think you know me by now and I think you'll agree that I am a level headed intelligent individual. Some one you would like to have on your team. I been thinking a lot lately about the future. I really want to settle down into a long term job and really make a difference somewhere. I think this is the place for me to do just that. This whole contracting thing is fine but I am tired of it. what do you say, can you make room for me?
OK, grew up working on cars, trucks, boats and motorcycles. Been driving longer than I want to think about. Here we go, people drive like crazy all the time everywhere I have been. This includes, roads, dirt trails, rivers and oceans. They run way too fast with half inflated bald tires. If I see them coming I get out of the way. If they are running faster than me then they can "sweep the trees". That's an old Smokey and the Bandit reference for you young-uns out there;)
Keep an eye on their tires. If they are running low on air or wobble or dont appear to be right, make room the vehicle is being driven by a dumb ass. Better yet, keep an eye on everything around you. We dont have robot driven cars yet.
Also, if they drive like an idiot chances are they dont do proper maintenance either. Get them out front if possible because your brakes probably work and you can stop faster than they can. Better than getting rammed in the ass. Well, that's debatable, depending on your sexual leanings. Sorry, could not resist. Cant wait to hear the comments on that one from this homophobic crowd. snark snark.
Find the gaps and get in them, if possible. These breeders run in packs. If you are running in a pack and someone screws up it is more likely that you'll be involved in an accident. Get some room around you if possible. Open up a gap between you and the next car. Let the tail-gaters pass and try to find a like minded driver. Then you got a decent gap in front and a decent gap in back. It all boils down to proximity and reaction time.
Final bit of advice, keep your car clean and shiny and don't skrimp on the maintenance. If I hit the gas it should go, hit the brakes it should stop. Don't try to get the last few thousand miles out of those tires, pit stop and re-tire. If all else fails pass em in the ditch and never hit em head on. Anything but that.
All that said and done, I think freedom is related to population. The more people you have living basically right next to each other, the less freedom you get. Oh, I changed my sig the other day to better reflect my RedNeck roots. Perfectly fitting for this article. Black boxes, bring em on. It's about time.
Ok, I don't care very much at all. That still leaves plenty of room to care even less. Am I right? Besides saying "I could care less", sounds way cooler than I could care even less. It just rolls off the tongue so well that it has become the way to express this particular sentiment. This is about the Cool Hand Luke factor not being technically accurate.

Ouch, and you with your 4 digit ID and all,....
And they immediately integrated the new brain into the next gen Iphone.
Well, I have had a Big Mac Attack or 2.

I changed mine to 357.
I just us an a for a password now. Lowercase, single character, the fricking letter a. No brute force attack even tries that one anymore. :)

Maybe we are related to a Monkey God?
Yeah but when you sit there sipping your coffee looking across the pasture at your horses grazing in the early morning sun... Nuf Said.

You forgot, larger. Then it would be,... Wait for it,... Big Brother.
I could care more but I find myself caring less. Could not you just say I couldn't care less?

Have to find it first.
I'm with you, that's just crazy talk. If ya don't understand the article just say so.
Yeah, strange postings from this one we have. I just used up my last mod point earlier, damn.
