You're right, I live in Rochester, NY. Most of the large industry has left or downsized (Kodak, Xerox), which left factory workers feeding off the tax money of the people who still work here. A lot of new industry has popped up because we have some great people and great educational opportunities (RIT, UofR, St. John Fisher...) But the inner city is just downright nasty. I refuse to even drive on surface streets in some parts of the city, the crime is just to bad. Of course, I have a solution for that, but the liberals don't want to hear it.
It's not like its hard to get a higher education in the US. Everyone thinks you need money to start, but you don't. I sure didn't have any money when I started college, but I put myself through just fine. If the gangbangers downtown would focus on their education instead of drugs, the problem would go away. Instead, they shoot each other for drugs, rob me for money to buy drugs, and then want me to pay for them to eat and have a place to live (socialism at it's fucking worst.)
That's almost entirely the fault of train-loving liberals, and it's not going to change any time soon.
That was exactly what I was thinking. To continue: socialism is the reason cities suck. Having to deal with the zero-self-responsibility scum who would rather steal from you than work for a living are the reasons why no one with any self-worth wants to live in cities. If socialism didn't drive the people, who would have to work, to be lazy and steal money from those that do work, crime rates in cities would be much lower.
Which, if you think about it, is totally wrong. The UN was created after the US intervened in the WORST HUMAN RIGHTS PROBLEM EVER. I highly doubt that the UN would be around had it not been for Hitler's idiocy.
With the mass graves that my brother helped to reveal last year, I consider Saddam to be a Hitler Jr. (along with Pol Pot, etc.), and if we were right to intervene in WW2, we were right to do so now. I just wish Pres. Bush had not spun the WMD crap, and went for the real issue. If Colin Powell had shown sat. photos of mass graves instead of the WMD stuff, I don't think we'd be in the political situation the US is in now.
Of course, the Muslim world condoned the mass murders, so we'd still not have their support; but as far as I'm concerned, that mentality is the reason the nigthmare that is the Middle East right now exists.
It strikes me as ridiculous that hardcore liberals and hardcore religious people both condone genocide. The religous side does the deed, but the liberal side is complicit because they allow it to stand when they can.
I'm getting tired of world politics, because none of it makes sense. Take out the scumbags (Saddam, Sharon, Arafat, etc.) who kill civilians for fun (or maybe because of religious bullshit, whatever the case may be), and let the peace begin.
Read it again, man. 4 out of 5 of America's enemy leaders...
Of course the US's enemies are going to not like Pres. Bush and want to see a liberal douchebag in office, so they can continue with their genocides and attacks on civilians.
It'd be really cool if The Wire does get to DVD, that show was really good. Dunno about plans for it. HBO's FAQ has pretty good info on DVD releases, but some of their site doesn't play well with firefox (and their site is running on the netscape httpd, go figure...), and I don't feel like loading IE right now.:)
Man, I wish they would release Oz faster than one season a year. I just finished season 3 the other day, I want season 4 now. I won't be able to see it until next Feb.:( Same with The Simpsons, also. At the current release rate, I'll be almost 40 when this season's DVDs are released (and I'm not even 25!)
I've fired people for installing WebShots at my old job. It is absolutely banned from my company machines. I should blackhole the domain at my dns servers, but that would take 30 seconds away from reading slashdot, and we wouldn't want that, right?
States don't have rights, just as the Federal gov't doesn't have rights. They only have powers granted to them by their constituents. The same applies to county/town/city/village/etc. governments. Citizens are the only bearers of rights in the US. The sad part is, most everyone has forgotten about that, allowing the situation we are in now.:(
I've got a FS-108 on my external and a GS-105 on one of my internal subnets (a crap 100baseTX only hub on a second subnet for guests and any machines that don't need any real bandwidth), and they're both rock-solid. The LED layout is similar, but why they didn't leave the 10/100 indicator on the port itself and use the current 10 indicator for gigabit is beyond me. I was all confused when I installed the GS and both port lights didn't come on for a 100Mb link. (No, I didn't RTFM!:)
I bought the GS because I needed a new switch due to crappy cisco products (long story). I didn't feel like buying another FS and then upgrading in a year. I still don't have any gigabit cards, but I start a new job making real money in a couple of weeks. I will be updating all 5 of my internal cards to gigabit in a few weeks.
I'm only using 3 ports on the external FS-108, and if I really need to, I can use the other 5 for another private subnet, and toss a private alias on one of the public interfaces. Done it in a pinch for ports, will do it again if more people come over to play some Counter-Strike with pings of about 5.:)
There are three things the federal (US) gov't are responsible for. Taking my tax money to pay for granny in the nursing home IS NOT ONE OF THEM. In fact, if granny lived in the streets and I could keep the money I earned, maybe I'd give it to local charity so it could be used more efficiently. The socialist nightmare that FDR put the US into causes me to pay nearly 50% of my income (and I earned no more than $50k last year) to other people for ABSOLUTELY no benefit to myself.
I could care less if granny rotted on the streets. Survival of the fittest says her dumb ass would have saved some money if she was smart. If not, oh well.
Hope you're not a photo major. If Slashdot were to be invaded by RIT's Photo Dept, everyone here could get some! Why did I graduate from COB?/me screams...
A lot of the track laid here was paid for by private enterprise, but the land grants and tax incentives by the govt made it possible. Most of the rail has existed for a century and a half. I haven't seen any new rail laid in western NY in the 20 or so years I've been around, but a lot of it has been pulled out to be recylced.:(
But Southwest does fly outside of "any state that's not adjacent to Texas," specifically TPA (Tampa Int'l) that I know of. They had plans to come to ROC (Rochester NY Int'l) but Air-tran beat them on the bid for gate space.
DOn't worry, I agree with you, but by definition, HST will be obsolete when a replacement comes along. Just as the Pentium 3 was made obsolete by the Pentium 4, even though the P3 still works great (hey, I'm using a p2-400 right now!), the HST will be made obsolete by the next generation. We should continue to use it, either through NASA or HST being sold off to a private research firm beyond the point where it becomes obsolete.
Apple produces a product, Mac OSX. Now they're introducing a new product to go along with OSX, which has the possibility to be very helpful, for free.
There exists alternatives to OSX (Windows and the various commercial screenreaders hinted at in the summary), therefore there is no monopoly. Possibly an oligopoly, but that's only due to a limited marketplace and the lack of a need to have many competitors.
I don't have a mac (no money for a new machine), but does OSX include mergemaster from FreeBSD? That's possibly the best tool ever for dealing with conf file changes.
But do you have the nuts (heh!) to go AV SW free on Windows for 10+ years? I do use TrendMicro's Housecall (active-X control, the only other reason to open IE besides windowsupdate) on files I can't absolutely trust, but no AV software will ever be installed on my Windows machines. The AV scanner on my FreeBSD mail server takes care of pretty much all of the Windows virus problems.
Sadly, this should be modded informative, not funny. That situation would hold true, as criminals have more rights than victims when it comes to crime in the UK.
Of course, thats why I live someplace where I can open the door a few feet away from me and fire off a clip from my SKS and nobody is going to think twice about it, unless it's midnight.
We have, in general very intelligent, polite criminals in rural tennessee; the dumb ones got shot / eaten / gruesomely dispatched a long time ago and didn't reproduce.
This is my chance to network. Do you have any system admin/network admin positions open where you work? I have got to get out of New York and to a place where sense is common. My.22 and 12ga. are both loaded and within reach, but I can't find a place to shoot. I've got 6 10-rd.22 mags loaded up just for when I get the chance to plink, but I haven't been able to shoot since deer season. (I live in Rochester, but hunt where I grew up about 100 miles away.) If I could wake up every morning and blow through 100 rounds before the morning ritual, I would love life.
The law in the UK (for example) says you can take reasonable steps to stop them stealing stuff - but NOT kill them. Yet Tony Martin was imprisoned for life in Britain for exactly that. Thankfully he has been released, but his life has been threatened by the gang the criminals that robbed him, repeatedly, belonged to.
Fucking liberals don't get it. In a right set of mind (and according to common law before liberalism as Europe knows it now came to being) the second a criminal decides to act on your person or property, his life ceased to be valuable, as criminals are worthless pieces of shit that society is determined to get rid of. Yet British law currently allows criminals and their families to sue for damages inflicted on that criminal by a victim during the commision of a crime. HOW FUCKING RETARDED AND CONTRARY TO 2000 YEARS OF LAW IS THAT?

Can we kep the illogical religious people OUT of a medium that is built on pure logic? If only they would disappear in the real world too...
