We always hear talk of a secret group of people, aka The Aluminati; The Skulls; The Secret Society; The Free Masons; The New World Order. But, we never hear about the 'falling off the edge' leftist who wish to take over the world with thier ideology from communism that has FAILED! I think THAT is the most secret of stories. It's pure GENIUS. They are crying out sooo loud how the U.S. is trying to take over the world so everyone's attention is concentrated on how the U.S. is conducting itself against the terrorists, all the while the leftist commies are planning thier own world domination my pinning everyone against everyone else.
No better way to win than to let your enemies fight amongst themselves and then swooping in and cleaning the ashes of what is left.
It seems like the RIAA wants to become another department of the US and hold a cabinet position with the President. I can just see it now, The Department of the RIAA, an army of us.
No, 234,774 is not not low, but you find each other's skill/tech level. It's like playing chicken and when someone flinches first the other person has won.
He said, "Oh, I get it!" and started touching the screen with his finger. It then dawned on me, he thought the monitor was a touch-sensitive one, I guess like on an ATM.
Did you just die right there and start laughing? I know it was hard, very hard, but I'm sure you had to correct him with a straight face. I've been there, done that. I think that's the time to get out the coloring books and start from the basics.
In the spring I met another fellow at another party. He, too, specializes in small business technical support. We talked geek for a while and sniffed tech tails to suss out the other's geek level. He thought he had me with his MCSE, but I trumped him with my low Slashdot ID.
I think that the initial assertion on this thread is a little goofy--Novell, even if it were owned by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, would not put itself in such a precarious position buy forcing religious literature down any one's LAN. Sorry, just wouldn't happen.
Why would they? You can call a 1-800 number and order the Book Of Mormon for free, and they'll ship it to you for free also. No need to force you to download it.
Silly, rabbit, tricks are for kids.

Slackware Turns 10

HAhA!! I remember the slackware disks I downloaded. I haven't heard about A,B, or X disk setts in such a loooong time, sigh, haha! It really brings back memories when I spent hours installing it and finally being able to play with fvwm.
I then remember when Yggdrasil came out with thier bootable CD-ROM and that little booklet it was wrapped up in. Just about last year of a little longer than than, I when to Half-Price Book store and sold them all of my old Linux books, including the Yggdrasil bootable CD-ROM package.
True. When I was working at Schlumberger, Netscape was the standard. When I was working for an energy company, Reliant Energy, IE was the standard. I've had years doing cross-platform development and I was loyal to Netscape. After digging more into IE I was screaming and pulling my hair out when I found differences in Netscape compared to IE. IE just worked. I know IE wasn't following all the standards, but the formating was just better looking in IE. Also, one of the most usefull tags for IE was the IFRAME, it made our pages more dynamic without having to reloads complete pages. After that project I was and IE advocate, and for the first time I turned my back on Netscape. About a year later I wanted to take a look at this thing called "Mozilla". I found myself back at Schlumberger and had to do another web application and make sure it was cross-platform. Again, I stressed that Netscape 6.x or 7 be the minimum requirement and dump Netscape 4 as the minimum standard. My code worked great in IE 5 and 6, and for the first time I took Mozilla into consideration when coding. Today I use Mozilla, even though it has a few kinks compared to IE, and am an advocate of Mozilla. Tab browsing and killer popups won me over. My co-workers are amazed to see that I use Mozilla instead of IE, but I like it.
One major bug or downside to using Mozilla is that sometimes I have to reload my pages or call them twice because it just doesn't make that successfull connection, whereas IE retrieves the pages the first time (I know why, I read the technical articles how IE cheats with HTTP handshakes). I've seen this issue on every PC I use Mozilla. Also, on pages that use IE, Mozilla just doesn't have the DOM to act exactly as IE, but I tried to point out to the developer that Mozilla had an issue, and the idiot didn't even take Mozilla into effect when developing the site.
BULL CRAP on "a single psychological mechanism" for creatism!!! The reason why there is no drive is because the man is "diverting" attention from other activites (crime, research, discovery) to a single focus, THE WIFE! Sheesh! Haven't you heard the saying, "It takes work to make a marriage"?? The wife wants attention, flowers, dinner, dates, but not sex. The man is driven to complete the act of sex, even though we rarely get to accomplish that task, through no fault of ourselves, though.
And once you have kids you can kiss your personal time away. How would a crimanal or scientist have time to spend away from home at nights working/thieving late at night without the wife constantly knowing where you're at and when you are coming home?? Answer me that!!!
I barely have time to play Counter-Strike and sneak in that few minutes of porn, in between working, repairing things around the house, changing the cat litter, cleaning the pool, mowing the lawn, spending time with my wife watching "Will & Grace" in bed. All the time thinking about how I can "get some".
I have side projects that are really lacking, but mainly because when I do have free time I'm trying to catchup with my XBox, PS2, or PC games.
This is an estimate to move 1 Terabyte of data via a T1 line. T1 has the bandwidth of 2Mbps - 10Mbps, with a real world average of 4Mbps. So, doing a calculation of 8,796,100 / 4 we get that many seconds. Do the rest of the math yourselves to see how many days it would take to transfer that much.

I figure your conspiracy theory on the Neo-Conservative trying to take over the world is any better?
If we are ever to get to the Star Trek Star Fleet era then we need one world government. I don't see that as bad so everyone is on the same page.

This has got to be the most popular bug! I can't believe no one has said anything about it.
Why not use a page from The Chewbacca Defense?
Why didn't Ford sue AMD for the use of Thunderbird in their line of processors??
Is this what we are forced to do from now on?
HAHAH! The future is NOW! Never knock off science-fiction because it will come back and bite you in the ass!

You could afford the insurance, but only if ULTRAMAN was your very best friend and would show up protecting your @ss!
Which child do I have to sell to get that OR earn enough $$ to live there and get the service?
"but killer pop-ups??? Man... All I can say is, I sure am glad I'm using Mozilla."
Har har..., I guess I meant to say "popup killers" or something to the effect of halting annoying popup windows.
Ding Dong! The witch is dead!
