No, but I dare you to dress like that and walk down South Street in Philly, now that the RNC is gone. I bet you don't get any trouble at all, despite the fact that South Street is heavily policed. ----------------------------
Well, if your college days were anything like mine, a keg of beer cost less than my average bartab these days. Remember $6 cases of beer. and $8 1.75 liter bottles of vodka? When I was in college it wasn't even a decision, 3.5 liters of vodka, or one cd.
The vodka was crystal palace, not grey goose or vox. the "good" gin was beefeater, not sapphire. And appleton estate for rum? nah, the best we ever had was the trusty captain. I'm also quite certain that our champagne was never PJ, Moet, Dom or Cristall.
And don't forget frat parties... depending on which school I pick, they were either 100% free, or about $3, all you could drink.
If I drank my current beverages in college quantity, my checking account would give out long before my liver did. Remember that when you're saying that the ability to get plastered == the ability to afford cds. ----------------------------
Well, according to this portion of the census, the median net worth of all households is about $38k, but for those under 35 years, it's under $6k. There aren't any age/DPI statistics that I can find, but the age/income charts seem to agree with the net worth statements noting that in households headed by 15-24 year olds, the average income is $23,564, but in $25-34 year olds, it's $40,069. This would seem to imply that people over the college age make more money than people in college.
Remember that the "HUGE" amount of money somebody is making in college probably is fractional to what their future salary will be, and while $1k/month is a huge allowance, it's nothing compared to the salary of a college grad, especially for college grads who go to schools where $1k/month allowances are common.
As for newbies running DNS servers. Sure they should. They should run local DNS servers that only listen to loopback, and use their upstream providers as forwarders. Not only does this give you faster name resolution, it cuts down on net traffic. ----------------------------
Assuming you're running with SysV startup, setup init level 5 to be a graphical login and such. Now rm -rf/usr/X11R6. Now reboot. Okay, sure, it didn't work too well did it, but you can boot into single user mode no problem. You know, the command-line only one, that's the unix equivalent of hitting F8 on boot. ----------------------------
I live in center city Philadelphia, so the RNC did a great job doubling the length of my commute. My solution was to take the train... until I left the train station, found myself in the middle of a fairly violent demonstration, with cops trying to smack the shit out of me, and Septa having locked the doors behind us, so I couldn't go back into the train station.
I can vouch, firsthand, that in the violent demonstration I was part of, at least 75% of us were just trying to get out of there, but were being kept back by the same police who were beating us. Philadelphia went overboard trying to make sure the RNC was happy, so they'd get lots of money. But then Philadelphia police have a habit of doing that.
In the high school computer lab, we'd take 3 computers each, until one of the upgrades fixed it so that doom used addressed packets, instead of the broadcast mania it had previously engaged in. ----------------------------
Nah, Benjamin didn't need pornography, after all, he was the father to seventy-some illegitimate children, if I recall correctly. I think he'd really like pornography. ----------------------------
I'm not claiming that/. is the speediest site on the net, but i tried, and failed to clock a time > 1 second opening this edit window, and I'm 12 hops from/. ----------------------------
it's just not widespread. Look for.shn files. I use them all the time to trade recordings of live concerts. (hey, as long as I'm trading something that's legally questionable, might as well do it on the Internet) ----------------------------
This is likely being done for good reason, mostly that they want to get something useful out to the masses before they invest effort in implementing complicated, proprietary, and likely (un|mis)documented protocols. After all, while a large number of people have Exchange access, there's an even larger number of *nix hackers who don't need that. ----------------------------
You're right. Nobody actually reads the source code. Ever. Somebody writes it, then it's never read again, by anybody else.
Certainly aspiring young software engineers would never read the code to find out just exactly how an OS works. Certainly I never did that. And I'm also quite positive that I never read the source to a driver because I needed to find out why our custom version of the same network card wasn't working. Nor did I read the source to various system utilities when they didn't behave as expected.
In conclusion, open source is doomed to a buggy abyss, only a commercial closed source release system, with a QA department can provide us with good, quality software, like Windows ME.
If I register etoys.com, I should be automatically be given, for free, permenently, etoy.com, because this is likely a typo, and the person obviously wanted to go to etoys.com.
Typo sites are obviously all evil, pornography, which could never contribute anything to the internet, and we should allow corporations to requisition typo sites whenever they would like. ----------------------------
Your isolated selections have shown me the light, corporations should not only get their trademarks, but also any possible misspellings. In addition to this, they should also get any nicknames they've ever had, and any slanderous words likely to pertain to them. My.orgs should all be taken away immediately and given to the.coms because obviously i'm attempting to infringe on their trademarks in bad faith. ----------------------------
Well, it's the first of the 4.X series that's recommended for widespread public consumption. 4.0 bore warnings against production use. This means that it's the first endorsed FreeBSD which contains such things as SMP support, really good USB support (3.X has USB support, but it required about an hours worth of reading to get my mouse and keyboard working, as opposed to 4.X which just sort of worked). Install it on a machine somewhere and see what's special for yourself. You might like what you find. ----------------------------
Then you should try using the colour option correctly. Memory fails me, but one of the below is right:
ls --color=auto ls --color=tty
I forget which of these is correct (a few years ago, the situation was such that one of these matched the man page, and the other matched actual behavior).
He said they have no bearing on reality. That's pretty clear what he meant. As for those of you who wouldn't pay $10k on a server, would you say the same if downtime costs were currently $50k/hour, and this is during the 'test' phase of the project?
If you wouldn't, then I'm damned glad you don't work with me. $10k is a bargain if it saves me from one outage. ----------------------------
