We've been tricked/conditioned into reducing everything to left/right|liberal/conservative dichotomies with not the slightest notion of what these generalizations even mean. I try to mostly ignore those who would rather debate these fictional compass points instead of the actual issues, but it's like some sort of supernatural Pavlovian thing or something. I actually consider myself conservative in most ways, but I find myself diametrically opposed to those in power who call themselves conservative, and I agree strongly with many (but certainly not all!) of the ideas espoused by those tarred with the epithet "liberal."
Hell, I don't even have a suggestion as to how to work around this issue. I think that's exactly the goal of the division, too. Get people so bogged down in shouting people down for being "red" or "blue" without ever touching a real issue. Very clever of them, isn't it?
I'm as interested this movie as the next guy, but why is it a/. topic?
Because it's gonna induce one hell of a Sunday morning political flamefest.
Which, actually, is why I'm here. Gotta find some more superstitious neocon fucktards to add to my Foes list. (it's either that or work on the corporate websites... which would *you* rather be doing on a Sunday morning?)
A few years back someone convinced my mother that people nationwide were unable to use IE at the moment, so everyone in her office had downloaded Netscape to get by with until IE was available again. I tried to explain to her how ludicrous that was, and the whole time I was really curious as to how such an idea had come about, since most things like this have some horribly misunderstood basis in fact.
This is the first time I've come across any other reference to said outage. Odd.
I would have posted this sooner, but I've spent the morning at a large chemical plant (polyester resins and intermediates) doing fire extinguisher maintenance. When I'm out there, my cell phone stays in my car. Why? Because it's not intrinsically safe. No equipment that doesn't bear that designation is allowed anywhere near the process areas. The risk of microscopic internal spark/arc is there with any battery operated device, be it a cell phone, a flashlight, or an iPod. Check out the heavy duty flashlights used in industrial settings; they're rated Intrinsically Safe by MSHA (Mine Safety and Health Association).
So the short answer is, forget all this crap about which thingamjig resonates at 1.21 gigawatts; it's a simple fact that any electrically powered device can ignite flammable vapors unless specially designed not to, which is often by way of inner and outer layers of air tight casing.
Also, there's little doubt that common fabric-induced static is responsible for most gas pump fires. But to assume that proves that cell phones can't also ignite flammable vapors is silly.
[Above all, keep in mind that I'm as far from a traditional Unix geek as one can be; I'm an old-school graphic artist mac geek from back in the days of the 1-bit steam-driven interface, so forgive me if I've gone astray.]
With that said, all I can figure is that you must have entered your root password for a prior sudo usage within the preceding five minutes (or whatever the default time value is). My account is set up as an admin (as opposed to actual root) but I still have to 'sudo' to do any real damage. Before posting this I went to the shell, ran 'id' as me, then did 'sudo csh' then 'id' and got the same results. I then did control-D twice to exit the shell and close the terminal window. I opened a new window, and was able to 'sudo' without my password since it'd only been a few seconds. Try your experiment now and it should work as you'd hoped.
But are they still basing their mileage numbers on skipping a gear? I recall back in the 80s (granted, not a proud decade for the Vette, can you say Throttle Body Injection?) you were officially supposed to skip either second or third gear, don't recall which. That was the only way they could get their advertised mileage.
Or do you consider those that defend child molesters good guys?
Unfortunately, yes. Seems the case your link refers to was essentially about people wanting a publisher held responsible for the crimes of its readers. Extrapolate away, folks.
It's in our blood. We love death. We love to watch it on TV. We love to see on the movies. We love to kill each other. We love to kill others. Hell we can't seem to go five years without declaring war on somebody or another. -- Evil is as evil does.
Maybe I shouldn't admit it, but I really liked System 7. Granted, it took until 7.5.x before it *really* rocked, but I was in a production environment in them days, and had generally very good experiences with it in many forms on many machines.
However, I still think the best overall old school OS was 8.6 with FinderPop. (Turly, you're my hero!!!)
2. Speed. I'll take OS X over Linux/X11 or XP any day of the week, but I'd love to see XP's responsiveness in the Tiger GUI. Again, I prefer the stability to the speed, but having both would be rich.
You really feel that XP is more responsive? I'm not trolling, but genuinely curious. I've got 10.3.3 on a DA/533 here at home, and XP on a 2+ghz Dell at work, and while they feel roughly equal at idle, my Mac doesn't get all thick and sluggish under a heavy load. And yes, I've got all the graphical silliness turned off in XP, fading tooltips and all. In fact, it feels noticeably lighter and snappier than the other XP machines in our office as a result.
I've personally broken a 1/2" box wrench in half while working on a VW engine. I'm not some big, hulking brute of a man (but I do okay) and I wasn't using anything to amplify the torque, just leaning into it with my own strength.
I will say that Sears is very good about no-questions-asked returns on their hand tools, but it's true that their stuff just isn't as well made as Mack, Snap-On or Matco.
According to the PDF, it was quality assurance manager, Ed Herzog, who was modding up his error reports to +5, Critical. Of course, I don't know how the software testing world works for real, would that be his manager's actual opinion, a rubber stamp based on Spillane's description of them, or a combination of the two?
Slashdot Mirror
Not really. I marked him Foe, and then he marked me Friend. Not quite sure why, but not something I have any control over, or even care about.
He won not because of his movie, but because of his message. The festival is supposed to be about art, but now its been perverted into politics.
I also fear that may be true, but I know *I* haven't seen the movie yet... have you?

Do the feds really mandate the use of quality tools to build/service products they buy? That's actually kinda reassuring, if true.
But are they still basing their mileage numbers on skipping a gear? I recall back in the 80s (granted, not a proud decade for the Vette, can you say Throttle Body Injection?) you were officially supposed to skip either second or third gear, don't recall which.

Good one. I'm a mac moron and I would have modded that funny. (so I suppose a Linux user would mod that insightful, then?)
I've always assumed that's for the same reason that I don't surf even though I'm from Hawai'i... there's no shortage of people working on that one.
Or do you consider those that defend child molesters good guys?

You're just making excuses. You must be a manager.
Okay, is this one available as a t-shirt?
Best

Yeah, I keep threatening to make up some "What Would Jefferson Do?" bumper stickers, but nobody gets the joke so I haven't bothered.

they got on top through purely legal means.
Dude, they so need to institute drug testing at your workplace.

6.5? You must mean 6.0.5, as I think 6.0.7 was as far as they went prior to 7.0.

No way, man. 8.6 was the pinnacle of OldWorld system software. With OS 9 things actually went downhill in some respects.
but there would be enough non-restricted users to ignore the drm people
Browser wars?

Before you assume that any given part of OS X could or has been ported to x86, Google for "Marklar."

And the art of politicking is not too far removed from the art of karma whoring, so candidate retraining costs should be kept to a minimum.
