    When we impeach Bush, can we do something about Memphis' "King Willie" please?


    Umm... you can't. Remember, while Bush talks to God, King Willie was chosen by God to run Memphis. He said this as he was hard at work on that baby that he refuses to support.

    Oh man, I wholeheartedly agree with this. I'm on 6.5, and it is such a fscking piece of crap that I can't wait for sexchange/lookout! The search fscking sucks - I've indexed the mailbox, and it can find nothing sometimes, even when I'm typing in words that I'm looking at!

    The only problem with Microsoft is they just have no taste. They have absolutely no taste. And I don't mean that in a small way, I mean that in a big way, in the sense that they don't think of original ideas, and they don't bring much culture into their products.

    Two things. One - peanut allergies kill. If you have peanut allergies, you can die from it, from just a touch or breathing the tiny particles in the air from a cough or sneeze. Does it make sense to ban peanut butter sandwiches if you have someone allergic to peanuts? Since I have a daughter with severe peanut allergies, I do think so, since I prefer not to have her die a painful death.

    Second thing - go read the first post. YOU DON'T HAVE TO DO ANYTHING SPECIAL TO MAKE THE WEBSITE EASIER TO USE FOR THE BLIND Just stop using those damned javacrap shit unnecessarily. Why should links be javascripted?! Why shouldn't alt tags be filled out? This has been a standard recommendation since the days of mosaic. Just because you're damned lazy doesn't make it right.

    A BETA should be feature complete, and is only there for you to find the final bugs. A beta is not for you test new things. Unless you're a Microsoft customer.

    Typically people find me very helpful. My last place keeps calling me up for help, and I would point them in the right direction and have been helping people out with recommendations and pointers to information, being a reference for folks who want it.

    However, if there was one asshole who was hated by everyone in the IT department. He always spoke as if he knew everything, and he is always the authoritative source, and everything he does is always correct. For a so-called CCNP, he could not even set what amounted to defaultroute on a cisco switch. He set up a pair of 6509 with the root going to a 2924 under his desk.

    He had a pair of redundant 10mb lines. Order a 100mb line. Left it sitting there for 6 months. When we were doing the work from home project, I said, lets used that. The fucker immediately said there's a high priority CIO project that needed the 100mb line, and then went ahead and broke the redundant 10mb line, gave one 10mb to me. The other 10mb was supposed to be BGPed with the 100mb line. Unfortunately, he didn't know how BGP works, so it was another 4 months before it came online.

    He is an asshole, an idiot of the first degree. And I will call him an asshole.

    If I call you an idiot, you can be pretty sure you're an idiot.

    And yes, I'm talking about you, Mr. Notwork engineer who designed a 10/8 notwork for a company of 3000. Who claims to have a CCNP but unfortunately can't show any certificates because "Cisco lost my certification results". Who only kept his job because... well, we have no idea why the CIO kept him around, but it is widely suspected that he had photos. I personally saw the CIO take him aside one time, after the CIO made a decision against Mr. Notwork engineer's wishes, and apologize to him, saying that it was not personal, blah blah blah.
