I have heard of the shows, although I've never watched them, nor do I have any of his MP3's... I too must add my name to the list of those who have no clue who you are talking about.
Judging from the posts, he's got a major recognition problem. Maybe Taco should arrange a free webcast to help him expand his audience.

Sorry, never heard of him. His site requires Flash, too, so I'm even less likely now.
Taco, don't be such a cheapskate, go buy tickets from a scalper.
I had it good when I lived in Michigan, I could buy tickets, actual tickets over the phone or internet
for shows in Detroit, Pine Knob, etc without much trouble. If I had to pay a scalper it was only a 100% markup.
Now I live in Santa Cruz and tickets to even the drunks on Pacific avenue sell out in seconds. Scalpers will
happily take $500 for a ticket that cost them $30 and they'll get it.
I rely on local bands now. Support your local musicians before they're replaced by DJ's and Karoke.
They are going to hear that you have too much time on you hands...
They're going to hear that you believe receiving a phone call during the meeting is more important that anything which is being discussed. Pray it's not your boss, or someone higher that it just cut off in mid stride.

I don't think there should be a requirement that the CEO knows thouroughly the product line of the company, a broad understanding is
is essential, but knowing how to successfully run a business is key. I get pretty irked when a manager says something like, "Well, why can't we just build a
database in Access? It's easy to do, I do it all the time!", when the product is actually going to be rather large and require something more robust. It's a pretty
good indication there's an oversimplificator on the loose and trouble is around the bend.
it is crazy to expect perfection in software even if you paid for it.
No. I'm not crazy for expecting it. Particularly when the profit margin on Windows and Microsoft's other holey products, such as Outlook, certainly underscore the ability to have spent a bit more on Q/A. It has been pointed out that a great many things so flawed would have triggered massive class action suits and recalls. What makes them exempt?
Atleast now micosoft is taking the problems much more seriously now, even though it is because of all the terrible press they have been getting lately.
They should have taken it seriously from the start. Companies like DEC, IBM, Prime, DataGeneral, Sperry, etc. all took such things seriously in the past.
This is good news everyone, it is good to see mircosoft caring more. Thanks for your time.
Yeah. I saw the Boost Marketing headline this morning:
Microsoft Hands Out Free Security
Posted by Clare Greenway on: Monday 28 February 2005
Healthy Competition at Risk?
I dunno how I feel about competition. I'm not so sure the free security is such a winfall. After all, I've already paid for all the bugs and security holes.
I was tranfering pictures with fricken teletypes long before this.
Man. I remember those. We had a stash of them on the old PDP 11. Andy Capp, a shapely woman, some other cutesy stuff. Took ages to print on Model 43 TeleTypes, but they had the best quality print.
They probably still reside somewhere on the internet.

"A charming picture of "Les Horribles Cernettes"... the all-girl rock band is still singing about "colliders, quarks, microwaves, antiprotons and the Internet."
My first muds were played on un*x systems. Funny that.
I hope Darl and his goons aren't reading this. If so, don't you have some paperwork or hearing to worry about?

In the old days, countries would quibble about land and money and power. Now countries go to war on the basis of internet standards...
Not too sure about that, but I do feel there's a large degree of pride at stake no matter what is on the table. I think pride more than anything is at the root of the Taiwan agenda. And I've met some mainland chinese who are very proud, in a nationalist sense, of their country. Perhaps a little too much so for my comfort.
Reminds me of a joke... One day 800 million chinese walk into a bar, buy a drink and then pay up. The bartender asks if they'd like another, the chinese say, "not with these prices which exploit the proletariat and waste the people's agricultural resources." (something like that anyway) But the gist is the whole country is there rather than some representative.
Remember, China still has a repressive few who are determined to remain in power and if strangling wireless LAN in their own country helps them stay in power one more day, so much the better for them. Not much of a difference between them and the old emperors and such, just exert power differently...
"We get signal!"

With guardians like this, pretty soon the whole XXX-XX-XXXX range will be p0wn3d!
This is nothing. Insiders are still the biggest threat. A few years back some people were found in posession of complete sets of CD's containing DMV information from all drivers in a state (I forget which: Oregon or Washington) that sort of thing was most likely an inside job.
If you are going to warehouse our data especially without our knowledge, then they should pay for their own screwups.
The thing that gets me is these firms say most of this information is public and gathered thusly. What I'd like to know is where all this is that's got all my stuff on it.
The upswing is that often it's completely wrong, as the example on the radio this morning of a fellow who is confused with about six other people, including women. It comes with the downside that getting these busybodies to correct erroneous data is nearly impossible.
Oh that explains it. Darl saw the TV commercial and mistook the "bolw of Lucky Charms" for a "pot of gold." No wonder all his lawyers are green. Then he picked up the wrong bottle of food coloring, eneded up looking like the Leprechaun from the movie, not to mention his business tactics are reminiscent of the plot line of Leprechaun 2: back 2 da hood.
I've always found Darl's plans to get gold to be rather potty.
The hearing is scheduled for March 17, 2005, so they again show us what they are best at: staving off impending doom.
St. Patrick's Day?!?! Gee, imagine Lucky the Leprechaun as an SCO spokesman: "Always after me impending doom!" At least
it gives us another occasion to toast with our pint o' Guinness, Harp, Murphy's or some beer with green food coloring in it (hopefully not Sudan-1.)
Unless you think they can find some crazy reason to sue the Nasdaq for billions over it..."
Maybe NASDAQ is running some of it's systems on Linux and that's SCO's perceieved Ace-Up-The-Sleeve.
NASDAQ Hearing Committee: "Your company is going down the toilet, you're a parriah and you can't even get your paperwork filed on time"
Darl: "Avast thar, ye scurvy dogs! We be finding yer exchange has a Linux installation on a server, tucked away inna corner. Renew our listing or we'll sue yer fer IP theft and make ye walk the plank! Arrr!"
NASDAQ Hearing Committee: "You're also a pretty piss-poor pirate. At least get a parrot."

Only if you buy them. If you steal them then they are still free.
