I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.
I used to love reading Maureen Dowd before this whole Time Select Stuff. I hope at least the editorial content is available , because whatever the NYT does ( all the news that is fit to print ) they do have some good talent in the editorial dept ( no matter whether you agree or disagree with their opinions)
I was so foolish to have AT&T as my Long distance provider for so long ( 6 years). I finally switched to one of those generic LD providers. Today I got my 1st bill. India calls $1.36/min for AT&T vs 0.08$/min for startec.com. My fam in India says they cannot make out the difference.
I agree it is my fault for shopping for cheaper alternatives, but boy was I being price gouged.
SSN-671 Narwhal The USS NARWHAL (SSN-671) was the quietest of submarines at the time of her commissioning, the result of a natural circulation reactor. She has been modified for special missions, and is fitted to operate a Remotely Opearted Vehicle. She was decommissioned in 1999. The USS Narwhal (SSN 671) was built as the prototype platform for an ultra-quiet natural circulation reactor design. This allows for operation with the large water circulating pumps, a major source of radiated noise, secured. It is similar to the Sturgeon design in other respects. NARWHAL used new engineering technology and several other innovations that led to advances in the submarine development program, laying important groundwork for the LOS ANGELES and OHIO class submarines which followed her. She was truly a one ship class. According to some reports Narwhal was employed for intelligence collection, and was fitted with a structure, called a "turtleback" -- just forward of her rudder that some have suggested may possibly be for remote-controlled underwater vehicles. However, a more prosaic explanation suggest that the big bulge on her stern is a casing for TB-23 towed array fitted with the new BQQ-5D sonar.
I read a news article that in Iraq/Afganistan the army is using the same plastic covers as NASCAR cars to protect the windshields of the AH-64 Apache choppers. Apparently because of sand/dust the biggest maintenance for these choppers was replacing the windshields every 3/4 months
Back in 1989 , I wrote an entire Email application for inhouse email on IBM VM mainframes using REXX (with Assembler/370 for display, and RSCS for moving the mail to different users mailboxes ). The email system was one the most widely used inhouse application in the company
I probably used every single feature REXX provided.
I second that. Might as well use all the onboard stuff and sell the cards (if anyone would buy them) Also you save on slots(but you don't have anything to put there except a great PCI express graphics card )
My first job. I wrote an Email System in Rexx for CMC ( had four IBM VM systems over the country linked together ). It was the first email system for a Company. Was better and faster then VM/Profs which IBM offered. Everyone used it for 5 to 6 years. Go Rexx!! a great language for writing code.
REXX is great. On my first job (late '80s ) I wrote the company's internal email system in REXX and Assembler/370 (ok it was on a mainframe ) . Ah' for those good old days of building your own email software since the IBM email software VM/PROFS was total bloatware.
Offtopic forget about Ipod. I am typing this on my new Powebook G4 1GB/1GHz with my Aircard connecting to the net thru the airbase thru my DSL and it took only 20 mins to set up.
I have used wintel for the last 20 years( yes I programmed m/c language on 8086) and this is a sweet machine.
I have 3 x86 servers at home and this is my first laptop and this was so easy to setup. I am going to enjoy learning this new OS
A great GUI tool which works with Oracle/MS/IBM/Syabse is the dbartisan tool from Embarcadero (remove the space before x.asp)

In New Jersey (near Princton) I am paying SPRINT $100 for 1.5Mbs/384 Kbs which I think is OK for broadband given the fact that ISDN (128 Kbps ) is ~ $50 and cable modem ( 1-way upload via 28.Kbps modem which sucks) is $40
This must be a troll right ? So the W2K TCP/IP stack sucks right ? In the old days of Win 3.1 and WFW there were multiple vendors selling TCP/IP stacks . Did you ever work with them ? getting them to talk to each other ?
Yes COM and NT was good but they suffered limitations. Have you ever built distributed systems based on the Windows DNA model ?
The whole thing fell apart when your consumers were behind firwalls and not in your domain.
SOAP is a godsend in order to fix that problem and.NET Framework provides a more elegent solution (tcp channels) to fix the entire problem of distirbuted computing without using plaintext exchanges. Even CORBA/IIOP is a pain in the neck , try getting it to work with multiple vendors (sorry , you need this version of this TCP/IC stack , wtf is with that ? why can't they just use winsock ?)

I have so many zingers here that I don't know where to start , so I am going to be smart and say nothing.
Nobody (except me) gets bad karma for saying nothing.
I must not fear.
Fear is the mind-killer.

Ok, so where do I get the shark ? and where is the manual on how to mount it on the shark ?
They want it back (not that you ever had it)
The Taj Mahal would be on any list of wonders , because women will always vote for it :-)
I second that.

How much is the Mitochondrial Count ? Is it higher than Yoda ? Is it higher than Anakin ?
So the force is strong in him but I sense great fear in the Woolly Mammoth , and fear leads to extinction.

No more Sith Lords since we know it is fear which leads to the Dark Side.

When they are up there and low fuel sensor light goes on , it is not as if they can pull up to the nearest gas station to refuel

Yes I can see that. His kids yelling "Are we there yet ?" as he travels across the world searching for some lost artifact.

Good language and easy to debug

Is it a coincidence that the short form of the Volition Bug is VB (the great bug ) ?
