Arkansas and Oklahoma should patent stupid. There are some bright spots but for the most part IQ is severly lacking. Now don't get me wrong, give credit where credit is due. Most people are stupid. Hell, I probably couldn't pass my own critical standards. The south does have a shitload of stupid people.
For example, my state of Oklahoma is approximately 60% registered Democrat. In every election these dipshits vote for Republicans. This is the worst bandwagoning state ever (thank god for that because I would have never gotten my great seats for OU games). Oklahomans have a major inferiority complex when it comes to Texas too. Granted I hate Texas but I've lived there.
You would think a state that is subsidized by the larger states would come to the conclusion that "hmmm, those Californians, New Yorkers,... are doing better than we are financially. Maybe their political views aren't wrong."
I have the perfect solution to every stupid fucking Republican BandWagoner in this state. Since Republicans believe that Government Subsidies are bad how about Oklahoma only gets back from the Federal Government what we pay in? What's that you say? Oklahoma gets 2.5 times what we pay in? Hmmm... sounds like those "spending democrats" are doing the dipshits of Oklahoma a favor by subsidizing our roads, healthcare, education,...
The one line I like to give to my Republican friends is this, it's okay to help someone in need. Of course Oklahomans are hypocrites too because these are the same dumbfucks that go to church (you should see the fucking churches in Norman, almost every one of them has doubled in size in the last 5 years) and give their money to buy their way into heaven, but won't help a starving family who has no access to education, medical sevices, food, or a standard of life above the poverty line.
George W gave me a $20K tax cut last year (I make a shitload of money and am still a democrat to my idiot family's dismay) but did I miss that $20K? No, but I guaranfuckingtee you some poor family struggling to get by in Little Axe probably misses that extra few dollars in Government aid that they no longer receive because "The American People Need A Tax Cut". Fuck George W. Anyone could do a better job (and avoid starting WWIII).
So next time some asshole republican comes up to me saying how great our President is and how he restored respectability to the office, I'll just smile because the idiots are getting what they deserve. Don't get me started on the Largent/Watts shit. DONT VOTE FOR PEOPLE SIMPLY BECAUSE THEY WERE FOOTBALL PLAYERS!!!!! (This goes for Nebraskans too.)
world. So technically you're right, however, i was just being a smart ass! I love California (something to do with being an Okie! lol Damn Grapes of Wrath).
The only problem was keeping my wife from noticing my looking in that direction. Who cares what they name the stadium as long as we keep winning. They could name it Rusty's Frozen Custard Memorial Stadium for all I care. Anyone in Oklahoma that can give $50 million in 3 years deserves something.
If you really like the Sooners I suggest getting the XBox and get College Football 2003 from EA Sports, it is so realistic. If you program the names the announcers will say them (since they were recorded but couldn't be in the game because NCAA rules).
Hopefully Hybl can pull it out. People forget he was banged up real bad last year.
The best thing about living in Norman is every fall the town gets about 10,000 good looking girls from all over Oklahoma and Texas. If anyone is reading this from anywhere up north you've got no idea what you're missing. California, Oklahoma, Georgia, Texas and Colorado have the hottest damn women anywhere. Everytime I go to the North East or Chicago it's freaking brutal. Must be those hard winters. Oh wait Minnesota has some hot ass nordic women, ahhhh sweden/norway/finland, unbelieveable!!!
You can pick up a Pentium 133 for dirt (usually free at any big company without a hard drive). Simply make it a firewall and voila! It may require some work on your part but you'll be better off for it in the long run!
PMFirewall makes configuring a Linux firewall very easy!
You damn pot smoking Californians need to realize CA is not a country (as much as you wish it were).
Just because you somehow tricked the powers that be into making a.ca domain YOU HAVEN'T WON YET. I'm looking forward to.TX for Texas to leave the Union (and take GW with them).
At work I have a Linux workstation and a windows workstation. The Linux one is typically running something so I surf on my windows box. I also read maccentral and apple.slashdot from windows.
At home/my office I have these systems: Athlon XP 1500 / Win XP (for PocketPC / VB Dev) PowerMac 8500/180 OS 7.6 & 8.6 (old mac compatability) G4 Tower QS 733 / OS 9.2 OS X 10.2 (Cocoa Dev) Dual P3-933 Linux Server (web/mysql) Celeron 1.2GHz Linux Server (mail) Ultra 10 SPARC Solaris 9 (oracle 8i) 4 laptops (apple & pc) and my wifes computer.
So in short how the fuck do you get that in the USER-AGENT? Well rounded is better than being a putz who likes to believe that it's all Linux or nothing.
That's all we get here in Oklahoma. My wife worked at the local (public) library while in school and all the librarians did was constantly get the 50 year old petafiles out of the childrens section, get the white trash off the porn sites, and occasionally help someone find reference material. Sad really.
That is why they are saying the G5 will be offered in 32bit and 64bit flavors. The design team that built the GX processors planned on 64bit like Sun did with the SPARC processors. This is what has given Sun a great advantage in the Enterprise market. When apps were built on older Sun servers, corporate customers like to avoid recoding for a new platform so SPARC is binary compatable with previous processors. That old code running on a SPARCStation II runs without modification on a E10000. That is good planning and implementation on the part of Sun.
So it may be a long wait! I got my G4 Tower a few months ago to see if I even would like Apple OSes. To my delight I love OS X (hell even OS 9) and OS X is everything X-Windows/Linux should have been striving for. I was going to sell my G4 and get a dual 1.25 but the one I have is more than enough for now and 1 to 1 1/2 years isn't too long to wait for the next Mac (besides I've still got to save for the 22" display!).
I've tried to use Linux on the desktop since 0.98 (Slackware in '96) and never found it to my liking. I don't like to tweak and read man pages for hours, I just want the damn thing to work. That being said all my companies servers run Linux (killed the SPARC the other day) and being able to sftp/ssh to my servers from a terminal in OS X was great. Plus using Dreamweaver to do my JSP development makes a great environment.
Hopefully 1 to 1 1/2 years is all I'll have to wait. I'm patient so I'll start saving now.
it's quiet as can be. The new G4 Towers are loud (actually as loud as my Dual 933 Intel).
Fans just don't bother me. Probably because I have a huge one running in my office since the 6 computers get the room kind of warm in comparison to the rest of the house. Great in the winter but no fun in Oklahoma summers!
just not mounted on the heatsink. Notice that in the sidewall next to where the processor sits there is a huge fan that lines up exactly with the processors.
I don't understand the problem people have with fans. Is it really that big of a deal if a 2GHz processor needs cooling?
Keyrock is confused by your tall buildings and fast moving cars, your spirit TV scares him, but even Keyrock knows working man deserve job, regardless of non-compete agreement.
You won't be able to get it for free next year. Just through this year. Better get to buying. Personally I've got a G4 Tower with os 9 & 10.2 (i'm in 9 right now, having waited on migrating from 10.1.5 to 10.2) and I am dying to get a dual 1.25 with DDR. However, I am going to wait at least one to two years in hopes of a G5.
Come on IBM don't let me down (wow, when I was a kid Apple and IBM were sworn enemies, now IBM is making PPC Chips, times they are a changin').
A relative of mine used to work for their parent company (all owned by someone in Oklahoma City) and when they purchased all the Six Flags parks they cut back extrordinarily on the mechanics and checks on ride safety (to save money).
The last time I went to a Six Flags was in Dallas and someone died on the river rafting ride less than 1 year after the parks were taken over (poor maintenance in my opinion). We proceded to never return (thank god I hate water rides, but the Shock Wave was just as scary due to the wobbling track).
If you go to any Six Flags beware. I like Action Park better than Great Adventure anyway.
I'm sure someone else has already said this but here it goes anyway:
Apple, Motorola and IBM all created the 160 128Bit instructions cooperatively. Altivec is the brand name that Motorola uses, it has nothing to do with the instruction set. IBM can use the instructions they just cannot name it Altivec unless Motorola says okay and allows them to license the name or just use it for free (unlikely).
So IBM is integrating the "Altivec" instructions it will be branded a different name more than likely.
It's simple economics, instead of spending time chasing down licenses you spend time improving your offerings.
The only proprietary system we use (outside the desktop) is oracle on solaris(sparc) but that is one of those things you'll never convince a CIO that Linux/Oracle 9i == Sun/Oracle 9i (which is true I guess if you look at the cost of servers, since sun is very expensive to run).
When someone is operating within the constrains we all are bound by don't get pissed, change the rules. Unfortunately as we all know $ talks in Washington and the patent holders should have loads to play with.
Welcome to for the corporations by the corporations.
You really need an econ class or markets finance class. There is such a thing as wealth creation and it's quite simple.
How do you think per capita income can increase in this country and population can increase at the same time? magic? It's monitary supply coupled with growth. The difficult part is growing without inflation (which we have right now but no one seems to care).
Not really because if they are brodcasting it and it conflicts with my 2.4GHz phone or my 802.11 network, then why shouldn't I be able to get on it? I didn't ask my neighbor to brodcast an internet connection to my house, so they are intruding on my usage of 2.4GHz.
Seriously the analogy of if your front door is unlocked doesn't apply. It's more like comparing the kid next door getting a free peep show by looking in your living room window from his house because you're too stupid to close the blinds (I've told my wife 1000x). So is it really that kids job to come over, knock on the door and say ma'am could you close the door because I sure hate seeing your tits? Not really.
I bought a house that someone planted bamboo in the back yard and then rented the house out for a few years. The bushes are trees, the trees are death traps (need to be pruned of dead limbs) the yard is all weeds (at least it's green) and the bamboo is covering 1/3 the back yard and has crossed over into several neighbors yards.
For the love of god (and your own sanity) avoid bamboo!

or in an Apple Store. I've heard about the G5's for years and I know they are the next best thing. However, seeing is believing.
I guess just probing what is open is okay there too.
Right. Land of the hypocrites.
I haven't installed 10.2 yet and they already have a patch! Now that's fast. I wonder when the G5's are coming out? lol...
instead of leaving it open for the world?
You think? It's the same as having a network drop on the outside of a building, would they do that? unlikely.
