GO CORP! Self-employeed rulez, except for health insurance. I just discovered the glory of business deduction for taxes last year when I filed recently. I saved $$$ by going self-emp!!
I wonder how long it will be until the Government busts in and crashes into his workshop and steals all of this inventions only to bury it to protect the Mega-Corporate businesses??
It was funny about a week or two ago there was a Dave Chappell marathon on Comedy Central, and one of the skits was about how "White Collar" and "Blue Collar" (thug) crimes are handled differently. Corporate crimes are dealt with kid gloves while drug crimes use battering rams and dogs. Well, he wanted to portray what would it be like if the process were reveresed.
White Collar Crime: Husband comes home after a tough day in the office trying to cover up his mis-deeds on stealing people's pension money and telling his wife that it's tough out there and then he throws her on the bed and about to get "nasty" and "wid' it". Then the FEDS bust the door down with guns drawn telling him to get down and that he's under arrest. Then, in court at the trial, the Judge (Dave Chappell) tells the "white" guy how awful he is and the worse kind of human type to be and that he should be serverly punished. The Judge sentences the "white" guy to life in prison for stealing sooo much money and ruining sooo many people's lives.
Blue Collar (thug) Crime: Drug deal is at home watching TV and gets a telephone call from the District Attorney apologizing to having to call and give him some bad news. The DA tells him that they are investigating the Drug Dealer for narcotics and if he can schedule a time to come down and turn himself in. They DA offers Wednesday, but the Thug say's it is a bad day how about the next day about 1:00 p.m. They DA agrees and assures him that they'll get this straightened out and apologizes again for distubing him. At the DA office that Thugs lawyers and the DA team try to come up with some sort of light punishment to apply to make the public happy. At trial the Judge tells the Thug that there will be a small fine and everthing else is suspended. The Thug then is cheering about the decision and thanks his attorneys with a winning CHEER!!
This has been on the radio talk show "Coast to Coast AM" with George Nory and Art Bell for the longest time. I can't believe it's just getting to the mainstream news just now, we've been talking about it for a Loooong time now!
Any guy could have told you they've seen this work at any Wet T-shirt contest. After they pour the water, evaporation happens right away and the women get very cold. You can tell that the women are getting cold by the visual status check on their n*pple!
I currently work as a notable figure in state politics, and I make over $90,000 a year. Most of the now Linux developers I tormented barely make it past rent.
Actually, that is the exception. All the fellow geeks I know, including myself, make more than your paultry (he he, tee hee) $90K. I scoff at your pay, it is WE who have the power. I pity you. Oh, and that pay doesn't include the extra money I make by whoring myself out for side jobs.
Yep, with all these buzzwords like: Synergy, proactive, paradigm.
Obligatory Simpsons Quote: "The Itchy & Scratchy & Poochie Show"
Myers: I have figured out how to rejuvenate the show. It's so simple,
you egghead writers would've never thought of it! What we need
is... a new character! One that today's kids can relate to!
[writers look at each other, uncertain] Oakley: Are you absolutely sure that's wise, sir? I mean, I don't want
to sound pretentious here, but Itchy and Scratchy comprise a
dramaturgical dyad. Krusty: Hey, this ain't art -- it's business! -- That's the spirit!, "The Itchy & Scratchy & Poochie Show"
Krusty: Whaddya got in mind? Sexy broad? Gangster octopus?
Myers: No, no. The animal chain of command goes mouse, cat, dog.
[to the writers] D-O-G. Weinstein: Uh, a dog? Isn't that a tad predictable?
Lady: In your dreams. We're talking the original dog from hell.
Oakley: You mean Cerberus? -- Does he drive a `Persephone'? "The Itchy & Scratchy & Poochie Show"
Lady: We at the network want a dog with attitude. He's edgy, he's "in
your face." You've heard the expression "let's get busy"?
Well, this is a dog who gets "biz-zay!" Consistently and
thoroughly. Krusty: So he's proactive, huh?
Lady: Oh, God, yes. We're talking about a totally outrageous
paradigm.
Meyer: Excuse me, but "proactive" and "paradigm"? Aren't these just
buzzwords that dumb people use to sound important?
[backpedaling] Not that I'm accusing you of anything like that.
[pause] I'm fired, aren't I?
Myers: Oh, yes. -- Is that what happened to Jon Vitti?,
"The Itchy & Scratchy & Poochie Show"
Meyer: The rest of you start writers thinking up a name for this funky
dog; I dunno, something along the line of say... Poochie, only
more proactive. Krusty: Yeah!
[Myers, Krusty and the lady leave] Oakley: So, Poochie okay with everybody?
All: [reclining in their chairs] Yeah...
And this differs from Clear Channel's version how?
I'm sick of how all you so-far-on-the-left-you're-fall-off-the-edge liberals that you think a company will get sooo many talk show hosts to spout "The Company Line" on almost every topic. Oh yeah, and I forgot how all those modern rock stations are yelling "SIEG HEIL" in between tracks of OutKast, Beyonce, Linkin Park, Radio Head, and Britney Spears. Yeah, these simple minding kids are being brainwashed. I think they are being brainwashed by the Music Industry and how to be slutty like Britney Spears.
Now, don't call me a right-wing-nazi-conservative (I'm actually a moderate hispanic of Mexican descent, so I'm a minority (or the majority in the minority population), HA!) I voted for Gore last time, but I'm voting for BUSH with fevor this time! I'm not a Democrat, nor a Republican, I will vote for what I believe is right.
BTW, I do work at Clear Channel, but I'm just a computer programming nerd that has NOTHING to do with radio stations or anything radio related, I just build web apps.
It just irks me that hard-core Democrats don't read the real news that is never published and keep going on your merry-haven't-a-thought way!
From all the talk in this discussion, the conclusion is that the Telecos won't move with fiber because they are trying to milk as much $$$ from other lower speed connections. They also have no incentive to give us what we want, which is VERY MUCh within thier power and ability, higher speed connections.
I've heard from people from School districts and other local municipalities, but I haven't heard any from a Teleco company. Does anyone here work at any SBC Baby Bell company and tell us why this high and mighty gajillion-aires don't care about us and throw us a bone after a zillion people complain. You want to know why we want to burn you in effigy? Look in the mirror and read our complaints!!
Noooooo, it was my idea first!

Borg Cube Case
·
· Score: 1
About 3 years ago I bought a huge black case, that was double-wide. I've been modding it over the years: dremmeled my own window before they were pre-made, wired my own cathodes before they were mass-produced, splitting ide cables before they were made, and using water cooling before the kits were made.
I told everyone I wanted to build a borg cube, and I started, but I never finished. AARRGG! I need to finish and show it off. My case is about 2+ feet wide, by 2 feet tall, and about 2+ feet deep.
Just recently, I changed the radiator for a smaller, more efficient radiator that I moved to the other side of the case and have a super quiet fan blowing across it. The noise level have really dropped. The only thing making any major noise is an old IBM Deskstar that whines.
Slashdot Mirror
And a nice looking geek chick girl at that.
Here's a picture of here.
Now, don't everyone rush all at once!
HA HA! D-Cypell, You've just been BURNED on /.
How does it feel?
What would you call "reasonable"? I'm thinking $14K per year.
GO CORP! Self-employeed rulez, except for health insurance. I just discovered the glory of business deduction for taxes last year when I filed recently. I saved $$$ by going self-emp!!
How would have THUNK it to believe that I could be killing people by using my Tivo?
Reminds me of those commercials where a teenager that they didn't know that by smoking weed that they help promote murders and terrorism.
Of how Microsoft plays the "divide and conquer" to win. If Microsoft can't win, it will just buy the comptetition.
Yep. I'm a supporter of Bush, but that was some bad embarrassing joke.
Not funny. Period.
I wonder how long it will be until the Government busts in and crashes into his workshop and steals all of this inventions only to bury it to protect the Mega-Corporate businesses??
Duckman, now that was funny as sh*t!!! I still catch it sometimes on the weekends late at night on Comedy Central.
P.S. Why won't they just rename "Comedy Central" to "The Comedy Channel" since that's what I call it most of the time?
I would guess that the people pushing for enforcement don't really understand what they're asking for and that it will cost their offices as well.
I guess they're Democrats.

THE END!
He doesn't need a "commit" since he's probably using MS SQL Server.

I'd use it to build my inpenetrable underground secret lair to conduct my eeeevil experiments and keep MI6 and the CIA out of it.
Bwua-HAHA!
P.S. Just call me The Brain!
That sounds about right!

Why did you get mad?
Yep, APRIL FOOLS!!!!!!!
Heck, I don't care, that means more work for me with less competition. Supply and demand == $^(More Positions).
Yep, with all these buzzwords like: Synergy, proactive, paradigm.

This means prime-time specials on Fox, Fox Sports, and Fox News denouncing the Republican Party as the Communist Party of the USA.
I thought the Democratic Party had this role locked and wrapped for them?
