  1. Re:Reaction to the vulcan lady... on Star Trek: Enterprise Reactions? · · Score: 2

    Good call. I liked Troi when she had some curves, and didn't look like some plastic barbie-doll. I don't know about losing my lunch over the vilvan chick, but I do prefer women who are shaped more like Xena than Ally McBeal.

  2. Re:What a ..... on ClearChannel Plays It Safe · · Score: 1
    I would.... but I am at the sig charecter limit. No more room, and I wanted the whole uncut quote in there.

    No offense meant to Mr. President, but I will not judge his wartime success until he takes some action. He has done a fine job thus far, but as a resident of the tri-state area (can see the skyline from my house) I am becoming impatient waiting for an offensive action to be taken .

    crock of shit. How about we get the fscking networks to stop replaying the distaster scene over and over instead of music thet might be upsetting to a minority of people.

    On the other hand, if you could add {sarcasm} any NSYNCH song to the list I'd be much abliged. Not that it has questionable lyrics, I just don't want to hear it on the radio{/sarcasm}.

    Whom do we thank for real time usefull news during the biggest crises of the last 50 years?

    My opinion. Everyone. Slashteam, you rule. A beacon of information in a trying time. Slash. readers, ditto. Real time, intelligent information. The whole community rocks.

    I live in the tri state are, Stamford CT to be precise, and you could see the mess from the building in which I worked. there was so much rumer and panic and fear it was a quiet comfort to be able to counton a site and acommunity for what I needed to know.

    Thanks. Everyone.

    Grim Fandango or Escape from monkey island. True, they are occasionally violent, but for the most pat the focus more on problem solving and humor.

  13. Re:"Raving Lunatic" Image? on What's Up With FSF VP Bradley M. Kuhn? · · Score: 2, Informative

    The trem Pinko actually came from President Dick Nixon who, while as a senator, had accussed a certain communist sympathiser of beng a "Pink Lady" (Pink as in almost "red" i.e. communist). Thus the term "pinko", a shortened version of the insinuation.

  14. Re:boring. on A Visual Comparison Between XP And Mandrake · · Score: 1
    I agree. One of the easiest ways to convince Windows users to switch to something new is by making it look familiar. Mandrake is a great starter distro beacase of the reasons cited ion the article (i.e. ease of install, setup, etc. mandrake was the distro I stuck with beacause oif that reason. Does that make me lame? Probably. Who cares. After 4 months of mandrake use does it still look even close to windows? No way, now it's sleek, sexy, and foreign looking. Makes me happy.

    I digress. The point being that windows and linux are begining to look like each other, and once the interfaces become easy for anyone to understand then Joe user will take a look at what his OS has underthe hood. Under Linux's hood is a shiny, chromed out V-8 turbo super charged ferrai engine, and the Windos hood is bolted shut.

  16. How to change the DMCA on Say Here Why Sklyarov Should Go Free · · Score: 3, Interesting
    Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King taught that the only way to respond to an unjust law is to break it.

    I agree that Skylerov is not being served justice, but perhaps his sacrifice can bring about change to the ill-devised DMCA.

    This needs to go to a court where technolegy isn't veiwed as a yoke to assist in our daily lives. My hope is that the lawyers and judges on this case can see technolegy as the last great American Freedom. Skylerov's actions were to free restrictive and narrowminded technolegy to empower people to use the product in question, not to promote pirecy or theft of a product.

    I can only hope that thi is the death knel for the DMCA I hear on the horizon and not the sound of the big business gestapo making sure that their power isn't lost.

  18. Not just sys-admin... on How Do You Interview A Sysadmin Candidate? · · Score: 2

    Best question I ever heard in an interview...
    What three things would you need if you were stranded on a desert island?
    Never hire anyone who says "my computer"
    The question forces potential new hire to think creativly under pressure, and THAT is a an atribute every company needs.
    what was the best answer I heard?
    One guy said sun tan lotion, toothbrush, and a towel, preferably with the words don't panic written on the towel.

  19. dunno 'bout you on Code Red! All Hands to Battle Stations! · · Score: 1

    but I'm unable to get my yahoo email account to work. Other than that, no big problem. from my understanding only nt/2000 is at risk, the fixes are readily available, and all you have to do to stop it is reboot your server/pc. Is this really as bad as they are saying?

    but most of the teachers in elementary schools don't have the first idea how to use Linux, or other non-windows os's. The applications and operating systems have yet to come to the point where "joe Elementary School Teacher" would be able to use it effectivly, much les instruct others on how to use it. Please do not flame me, all you computer literate elmeantery school people, you KNOW that most of your collueges are apart of the AOL crowd...

  23. Props to realtor.com on Searching for Real Estate Using the 'Net? · · Score: 2
    I am closing on the 29th on a house I found on Realator.com.

    There is no "definitive" real estate site, as far as I can tell. Your best bet is to visit as many as you can, devote some time to it, & figure out what's best for you.

    Just like the reset of life, there is NEVER an easy, all around, all encompassing answer. No matter what microsoft would like us to think.

    The disclaimer goes out only to mail sent outside the bank. And yes, it's huge.
    Why? 'Cause when you deal w- transactions that range in the millions of dollars you need to keep all your legal ducks in a row. And the swiss love ridicouslly complex and detailed things. (watches, legal disclamers, Army knives)
