Good point. Now perhaps if people would stop bitching about how Gnutella doesn't work, pull their thumbs outta their bums and make it work. I know some of you 31337 H4X0R5 out there have the skills to make it work, but are to concerned with watching other people search for pre-teen porn on your GTK clients. I rant because I openly admit I do not have the skill to do it my self, nor do I have the tie to acquire the at the present.
Seems to me than someone *COUGH* ^ Bell *COUGH* is just waiting for Gnutella to die for some reason. Got a bet going Tawko?
The Handspring visor is 1337, hands down. I've seen PDAs run linux/linux-like stuph before and its kind slick. Yet I think that before PDAs run real stuff, they need more power and better input. Grafitti (or however it's spelled)gets on my nerves:P
It should be very simple what will qualify and what will not. Just as with a.org, a company/individual/government that wishes to register a site under the.health TLD should have some simple criteria they must meet. IMHO each submisson for ANY domain should be reviewed if they want a specific non-'.com' TLD. I've seen lots of.org's that should have been.com's etc...
In reviewing submissions, however, the current organizations won't work. They have been infulenced by outside forces and therefore have their own intrests in each website as opposed to fighting for the good of the Internet. Being as democratic as the 'net is, a board of reviewrs should be elected by the internet at large, with to restrictions as to who can run.
Hell, in Santa Fe, a person can't go ten with being offered Rolfing (whatever the hell it is, I live in SF and I sure as hell can't figger it out) or acupuncture (there's a shop/clinic like every 10 feet). I don't know what so special about all that stuff, but some chinese herbs sure are handy. I remember getting a urinary tract infection once, my mom gave me so strange tea an PEWF it was gone!
The AMA can quite literally suck me off. They are another unsactions hate-mongering machine, similar to the WTO, which is unregulated, and for some reason people seem to care what they have to say. WELL I SAY if your doctor is well trained, no matter what discipline, you are in better hands than some rich white boy who's daddy bought him a degree any day of the week.
Now if we could just get the US gov't past the marijuana thing...
I recently became IBM when I picked up a carload of old 486s with overdrives from my former high school. The damned things are sharp! It's been 3 weeks since i got rid of the damned things and i still have scabs!
As for the disposal, living in NM, no one really cares. I mean, what other state would allow WIPP? I've still got a stck of 486's in my closet and the case from a 386 full of 72-pin RAM, Pentium overdrives, 3c509s and 200MB HDDs. I need a transfusion...
If you would like to send me your old somputer and $30 bucks, i'd be pleanty happy to have it. I gotta get my beer money from somewhere.

Yeah, I'm sure there's some/. readers here in Fanta Se, (other than me and Houdini...)
Organizing a meeting would be nice, we could all go to the Aztec or something; it's like a 2600 meeting for the '90's. Yeah you ABQ snobs can drive up HERE for once:).
I would be neat0 if at next year's DEFCON or the like we could set up a meeting area for/. readers and contributors. I'd like to meet some of the faces behind the flames:).
Seems to me every years voters have fewer reasons to turn out, because the republicrats are so sickeningly the same.
Well sir, they did branch off from the same party if you studied your american history.
I think that if the federal government can take monies out of your paycheck, you should be able to have a voice in what's done with it. I don't have too much too complain about because I get most of it back, but I would still like to stand up and say "Fuck the Tweedles!"
If I were voting in this election, (and I'm not because I'm a youngin')I would prob'ly vote for Nader. This has been the most negative campaign with the highest amount of mega-corp dollars involved. Nader doesn't get backing from mega-corps, as he has been an avid consumer watchdog for years, so the reason I would vote for him has little to do with his ads, but more to do with his views.
Bush and Gore have been nothing but Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum this election. There have been any important issues (Such as Decriminlization/Legalization of marijuana, the constitutionality of the DMCA, etc...)and it has come don to which has committed more felonies. I know I would never vote for Bush because I imagine something out of a Heinlien novel if he did get into office and I prob'ly would vote Gore because he isn't vocal enough on many issues. Many people could give a rats ass about his fuzzy math, at least he's challenging the veiws of a pawn, and Bush is a pawn...
I agree, that using a game like Quake to 'limber up' the brain is a fine idea, however a better idea would be, for instance, taking a walk, reading the newspaper, taking a nap, going to the gym. A healthy mind requires a healthy body, something I have noticed many programmers have the time (use your lunch break!) but lack the initiative. I'm in my first semester in college and I'm glad the school I'm attending requires fitness classes. I was on my way to 300 lbs and now I'm building muscle and I've lost the gut. I have more energy than I know what to do with, and when I program I do it faster and in a way that makes more sense. Not only will being fit and healthy improve the way you function, but god forbid some of these programmers actually get outside and enjoy whats left of our world. For christs sake take a sunday drive to the top of Glorieta Baldy!* *(or whatever your local mountain may be...)
Hey, hopefully yer not referring to Usurf, whom I also worked for. They pulled something similar on me before they up and moved to Boise. I had 20 hrs of overtime and I never saw it. Being underage, there wasn't much I could do about it, however I did send a very professional letter to each member of the board, and It solicitied ZIP for a response. Thanks Usurf!
well, the'll be out of business before you know it anyway, so fuck 'em. They were supposed to fix my wireless over a month ago. They can burn. (kill them all...)
Why should managing software engineers be any differnet that anyone else? What makes us so special? Do we HAVE to work for 24 hours straight? No. Do we have to have break rooms with poosball tables or a PS2? No, but its nice. My father has worked everyday since I've been alive, rain or shine, cold or warm, building HUGe houses in my home town. Why doesn't he get a nice breakroom with a foosball table when he's actually doing somthing physical all day long. Programmers don't get tired, they slack more and more as the day goes on. PLBTH!
Lets not get into reasons not to buy a Xbox. I'm sure when BillGs oompa-loompas get thier act together and finally release the Xbox, well discuss it more then. For now, play TacOps...

BTW never vote for anyone named Jeb.

Whenever I hear anything like this, I think of the word 'clusterfuck'. I don't know why, but I do :)
What the hell do they think thier selling, the next coming of Jesus? I mean come on! How dumb do they think the... oh... nevermind. FSKING megacorps :P
