Oh yeah sure, tell that to someone who cannot get a car insurance, legally own a car in this state, drive legally or get a job that does a background check.
I outrun the police in my car, now I'm a violent offender, some idiot wrecks into me on the freeway, it's now my fault because I cannot carry insurance. Oh yeah, I shouldn't be driving.. haha. What about someone like myself who lived in a rural area 400 miles from any public transportation.
It's bullshit, a bunch of tickets and worthless debts from people who fucked me over that I will never ever every pay.. and If you fuck up, there are consequences.. Get a fucking clue, I could murder someone and have less consequences than all the shit I've dealt with since I've turned 18.
A few little "mistakes" and I run a good chance that my engineering degree will be worthless when I get it. What company is going to hire someone who cannot legally drive?? Or who owes $600,000+ thanks to fraud and other bullshit.
And on DUIs, I've never drank, but all it takes is a few corrupt police.. my driving "privileges" are suspended for twelve years at this point thanks to convictions, though I'll never pay the fucking insurance companies, so I stand a good chance of never being allowed to legally drive for the rest of my life.
Fuck you and all you "moral" types on your high horses, I'm so sick of the bullshit sappy attitudes I get from people like you. "maybe you should have thought about it before you did xxxxx!".. fuck off. I though about it in detail, and the punishment far outweighs the crimes.
I think that RMS evens it all out. Talk about being a real asshole. He came out and flamed me for admitting to using XEmacs.. he thought that I was my father (who is also named Dan Flickinger). My dad had some legendary flame war with the guy back when i was a kid. Now I have grown up with that name curse in my household, I must carry on the tradition when my father passes on.
My deep hatred of RMS coupled with the likableness of Linus balances everything out... aaahh. Indiference.
Ontopic: Built 2.4 last night. BIG speed increase, and finally good USB support. Thank you Linus.
First, it wasn't much of a company. When they fired lynn, I was the only person working at the shop. There was another location, and I had the feeling that they'd be closing the shop I was at. I knew that I was next when he fired her. The excuse that was used was rediculous, and what made it worse is that my boss demanded that I drop out of college to work full time for $7/hour. (a $2/hour pay cut) I said "no thanks, I'd rather be an engineer and make four times what you get out of these crappy shops."
The shop was already keeling over, I just made sure to really get it rolling down the hill. Now Bruce will think twice before playing months of bullshit with employees.
Naw.. he'll just interview better to make sure to get someone who's unskilled and spineless.
I'd like to say I went right back inside and quit on principle, but I waited two weeks so I could take all my vacation time and get my bonus.
Some principle. When a photo lab I worked for fired my 21 year old female coworker because she was in the hospital, not only did I walk out, but I left a bunch damage in my wake. (She had a kidney shut down and had to go to the emergency room; this was not because of drugs or anything.)
I fucked them over good. Destroyed all of their invoicing data, sabotaged two film processors, wrecked the security system, and kept the shop keys. Showed them good that I don't put up with shit from bosses, landlords, or other random assholes. The shop closed within a week thanks to me.
I mean honestly, there are a lot of conservative people who are afraid of the internet in Utah.
Oh please, just because there are droves of conservative people in Utah (esp. Utah valley) who ban rated R movies in schools and avoid all things not spiritually uplifting.. that still does not mean people in utah are afraid of the internet. What bullshit. Even with those I come across that are against such things, they still don't have the unanimous basic belief that it should all be taken away from the rest of us. Your average church-going mormon family has a computer with unfiltered internet access.
I'll go out on a limb and state that I think Hatch is not representing Utah residents on this one at all, especially someone who voted for him (I will admit it, I did vote for him). This is weird in of itself, but I don't see this as having much of anything to do with it. So leave all the "mindless religious conservative robot" bullshit out of it.
Yes. My father knew good old Mr. Garcia, and I don't care for the dead all that much. Don't hate them though. Also, since when do all "geeks" like the same pastimes. I don't like many cartoons, or porn^H^H^H^Hanime, or most other things "geeks" like.
Though I like grinding out code, or using unix, or network administration.. I also like drag racing and going out. You only seem to describe trendy geeks, especially by overgeneralizing things and putting everyone in the same boat just because they like linux or something.
Your friendly nearby college or university should have a surplus store. I've purchased a number of computers and some cheap ethernet hubs from university surplus. --
You must be kidding... running VNC or PCAnywhere is asking for script kiddies to own you.
... please mr. script kiddy, come 0wn me.
Besides that, I've seen VNC almost cripple a 500 MHz NT server, these software packages would be almost useless for low end systems.. buy a monitor, or use ssh. --
There's a good explaination as to why the laptop IR ports have much less range.. much higher frequency. (I.E. Higher frequency == lower range, and vice-versa). Don't some laptop IR ports push data through as high as 2 Mbits / sec? I know that most hardware looks like a normal serial port when the kernel detects it, meaning that it can at least do 56k... wouldn't remote controll designers design their hardware to operate at lower frequencies in order to get better range?
I never thought instructions to change the channel required 2+ Mbs.. either way, while it may be a cool idea for a fleeting moment, I don't see any good reasons for this sort of thing.
You can't say that everyone prefers the same old consistant interface.. (though I do concede that most people do.)
I can't stand the same interface after a while, and I tend to jump around. Sawfish, elnlightenment, windowmaker, gnome, kde, even XFCE and Icewm.. I can't seem to make up my mind. Even if I made my own new window manager, I'd have to change it constantly in order to not get bored with it eventually.
I'm even started to get back my old "operating system indecision"... linux/freeBSD/openBSD.. aaarrrrgghghghghghh!! --
I attribute it to the "Dr. Clayton Forester" syndrome. These poor critics are forced to watch utterly horrible movies on a daily basis by sadistic editors.
Of course they are going to write negative reviews.
MS server software is, out of the box, full of security holes and downright dangerous to put on the Net without extensively patching them first, and
In the past, I had to keep up on patching default Mandrake Linux 7.0 installs just to make sure that I didn't get owned by a wu-ftpd site-exec kiddie. Installing any OS requires keeping on top of things when you admin a server(s)... Micro$~1 makes sure that you have more to do to keep your servers "secure"
First thing I do after installing any Os is find any security info I can and apply the related fixes.

I was interested in the machine, though not the article. Besides, what better a way to get a response than to post a smart assed comment?

I stand corrected. I trailed off 2/3rds of the way through since it wasn't a very interesting article. :)

They were still using apple ]['s and old TI computers, along with a couple misc. atari's at my old high school. (Kennedy High School, in Los Angeles.)
Now I have a small army of pentium 90-233's that seem ancient.

ever met a Unix admin who didn't like the Dead?
Yes. My father knew good old Mr. Garcia, and I don't care for the dead all that much. Don't hate them though. Also, since when do all "geeks" like the same pastimes. I don't like many cartoons, or porn^H^H^H^Hanime, or most other things "geeks" like.

8000+ processors may have the horsepower to support windows 2000, but can windows 2000 support 8000+ processors?
Last time I checked, Windows 2000 couldn't support 8000+ processors. Check back for support in windows 3001. (I.E. Never)
