Last time I did it cost me $58 USD for a small car.
NOoooooooo!!! I like paying the inflated $1.50 per gallon of gasoline. It gives me great satisfaction watching the people next to me fill up thier SUV's and extended cab long wheelbase trucks with dual 20 gallon fuel tanks spending $70 to fill up. Its so they can make the daily commute to work 40 miles away each day for eight hours then come home again. Its the American Dream.
I use motif, because I'm a minimalist. Its simple, elegant, agile, and functional without all the doodads. In other words, its very fast and its speed is the eye candy I see! I use Motif on 486 boxen with minimal RAM, where its speed still shines. Its simplicity is purely beautiful!

Endgame For SCO
·
· Score: 2
but you neglected to mention that some folks may have moved from SCO to say.... Windows NT?
Linux is a drop in replacement for SCO. NT is similar to SCO as bolting parts from a tractor onto a motorcycle. You can get it to work, but its going to take some labor.
Nice pictures, too bad it requires enabling the potentialy evil java to open them up.
Why do more and more people insist on using java for a simple link to a picture? To prevent a wget by a happy surfer? To play games? Me thinks a patch to wget for snarfing addresses out of javascript is in order so one could assemble a viewable page for one's own viewing with a simple browser.
I say we need to kick off everyone with user id > 10k and bring back MEEPT!
heh, sometimes I feel the same way while writing up a post and how it feels like I'm being graded unfairly on a written essay exam by a committee that will never like me. I'd still be pursuing usenet news full time, but very interesting topics and good discussion lure me back here.
MEEPT was a true rebel who fought the rigid adherance to a formal discussion with his zany prose. Such comic character was inevitable when the number of users reached a few thousand. Now we have magnitudes more than that and my mind can explode when trying to consider who we have here and what is appropriate.
But humor is often appreciated, especially when falling off the chair ROFL style. Humor may be a sore subject, but it was pretty damn funny.
Are you suggesting that we should stop allowing "lawfully-authorized" searches as well?
Oh, no, I like how the FBI has the resources to investigate wrong doings. The only problem I have is that not only can they investigate with great ability, they can also enforce with almost no limits. Me thinks the enforcement should be delegated off to local police. Balance of power and all that.
Otherwise, someone influencial can really get the good 'ol boys in this tight organization on a campaign to really fix a person up good in the criminal justice system over even a simple mistake of associating with the wrong group. "Have you any affiliation with communists or used drugs in the past?"
CALEA . . . is to preserve law enforcement's ability to conduct lawfully-authorized electronic surveillance . . .
I like how the law authorizes themselves power when they feel the need for it. The quote continued to disclaim thier reach of power with:
the public's right to privacy
How is an individual supposed to have privacy against a resourceful automated electronic self authorizing law body with immense resources including a wide range usage of deadly force and property seizure such as the FBI.
A person's house could be the next Waco if that individual might seem to object thier methods of questioning his existance.
Henceforth, I urge you people, don't drink cheap shitty beer!
Is there such thing? Oxymoron?
On a nice festive day celebrating over 200 years of freedom, I have to look deep in my bottle before me and analyze the contents. What we have here appears to be is the essensial barely and hops with lots of little happy alchohol producing workers called yeast each with a happy face doing thier thing. How they do it, I'm not sure. Some say its when they produce thier ATP energy packets from the sugar molecule, they aren't as efficient in doing so and release a few molecules of alchohol as a byproduct. Now, I wouldn't say its a byproduct or waste, but a gift. Yessir, our fine beverages are brought to us by the generous contribution of our favorite little organisms called yeast.
Now some people would like to call some kinds of beer cheap, trash, or piss water. I'm here to tell you all yeast have one job and all are here to serve our country in thier best ability. Its all from fine grain stock and the rest is from marketing hype, so give your respect for these important patriots and drink up.
Mine, I prefer bottom of the barrel dark beer. My friends hang out in lowly places.
you go to a real city in a real state, not a mid-size city in the part of the US that is almost completely worthless
Kansas City is a fairly large city located in both Missouri and Kansas. Have you even been there? The advantage is the close location to many other cities. Be practical, its a lot closer to many people than the West or East coast.
I can't comment on LinuxFest 2000 since I didn't attend. Indeed, I didn't even know it was happening.
I didn't know it was happening either. I was in Kansas City to see my old friends and parents. I would have killed to bring my family and friends to a LinuxFest if I knew it was happening in my home town.
Wow, I would have never had thought to put the rocket engines above the craft. I'm not sure if the pulling forces or the bbq'ing forces will be greater.
This is better than the Jet Assisted Takeoff Chevy Impala! This time we'll have pictures!
I'd be careful with static electricity. I have seen electrical discharges around surfaces next to air pressure and vacuums. We have vacuum lines at work to suck plastic compound beads into hoppers and standing next to one of them could net you a two inch long spark that will shock the hell out of you! Fast moving air causes static electricity!
If you need to blow something off, make sure its not "dry air."
I work at a manufacturing plant that decided to use NT to control its production lines. When the server quits or refuses to stop taking connections, all the NT clients start bluescreening or hanging. Believe me, that gets your attention every time.
I can see it now: micropayments are the 900 numbers of the internet. The backbones get toghether and license thier service to the ISP's that any of these pay sites that are visited get billed to them and conviently passed on to the customer. That way, no consumer can opt out. Visit a commercial site, either by linking or accident and you will get charged.
Radio Shack used to be a good place to shop for novelty items and parts back in the 70's when ham radio, science and technology was all the rave back then. Then I remember Mr. Tandy must have kicked the bucket and no longer was featured in his little fireside chats in the catalogs. He must have been the inspiration, because in my opinion the whole chain went downhill from there.
At least your friendly Radio Smack Salesman tried to help. Last time I entered the store, my salesman who was quick to find me and ask if I needed any help in what I was looking for immediately threw his arms up in dispair and exclaimed, "I'm a business student!"
Business must be really good for them to stay in business.

To ease my pain, I bought a motorcycle with a 4 gallon tank that gets 50 miles per gallon. Its funny though. Even though I only live one mile from work, I started riding more and spending more on fuel. It must be the American Way.
That's your problem you're insane!

No. Nice try, though. Its the emergency backup heavy duty LART stick.

If American laws refuse to protect consumers, Germany may be a nice place to live. How is the cost of living?

Unless you mean Microsoft Sharks...
No joke, the coast of Washington does have the largest shark population. Coincidence? I think not.

Don't confuse Microsoft with Microsoft Research.
Oxymoron?
To be fair, point #1 isn't valid for NT.
I work at a manufacturing plant that decided to use NT to control its production lines. When the server quits or refuses to stop taking connections, all the NT clients start bluescreening or hanging. Believe me, that gets your attention every time.
"It's worse than that. Almost nothing has expired since 1923" ". . . Come look at the milk in my refrigerator!"
Even sour cream has an expiration date, but a once its under a copyright, it and its dead author will never cease to expire and become free again.
