Now there's a worthwhile idea... you could practice your getaway drive after knockin' over the local 7-Eleven. That could maybe help cut down on those pointless pursuits down dead-end alleys that always seem to befall the thugs on "Cops".
Portland has got to be the mail-theft capitol of the United States. They have so much of it that the cops had to come up with a separate crime classification code for mail-theft because it was skewing the rest of the theft stats for the area.
Portland's also the U.S. headquarters for the Russian Mafia, and home to some of the largest commercial auto theft rings in the country. Those huge container ships sailing west down the Columbia, they don't go home empty. They're loaded full of "hot" cars headed for new owners in eastern Europe.

From 60 to 150 extra horsepower just by reprogramming the computer module on the fly. No other parts are required, but sure can be fun.

Until you hit the Oregon border, and then the style of driving seems to be to stay in the left lane in a huge-ass motorhome going as slow as a slug, and the right lane might as well not even exist. Even though the state puts up huge green billboards advising "slow traffic keep right" you can bet your last dime you'll be stuck in the left lane behind a smoke-belching deisel-powered house-on-wheels chuffing along at 45 MPH all the way to the Columbia.

I'm putting together some web pages that generate thematic maps using the University of Minnesota's MapServer. All the datum and the info for the layers that I'm using were all public information, and free to use with little or no restriction.

UMN's pages are also a very good source of information about Open Source and GIS in general.
After Adaware and Spybot pronounced my wife's PC clean, it still appeared to have problems. So I ran Moosoft's "The Cleaner" and found nine more Trojans.
The moral of this extended story is: don't stop at one or maybe even two spyware-adware removers. Malware is clever and insidious and needs to be treated with a "cocktail" mix of software antibiotics.

If you want your installed RPMs to show up in both YaST and kpackage immediately, try installing them thusly:
yast -i <your_favorite_program.rpm>
That little trick is hidden deep in the manuals somewhere. I actually RTFM'd them so I thought I'd pass it along.
Even if you try to be the good guy doing beneficial stuff like that, it'll still get you just as arrested, just as photographed, and just as incarcerated under existing law as if you had done the typical evil stuff.
If the outcome is gonna be the same, might as well be an asshole.
And I'm glad that you point out how monsterously degrading this sordid behaviour was to the Iraqui inmates. These men are from a civilization who do not normally even let their wives see them naked. Public nakedness, and especially the exposing of male genitals to a female stranger is humiliating beyond description. I cannot believe my country did this to fellow human beings. This reprehensible activity will most certainly be punished, and unfortunately more Americans will now perish because of these evil acts committed in the name of George W. Bush. We have just rallied the entire Islamic world behind the Iraquis, something even Hussein and Bin-Laden were unable to do.
This is one of those times when I am truly ashamed to be an American.
This whole sordid affair had a ring of the familiar to it, so I went looking for whatever it was that sparked my precognitive flash...
Plot Summary for
Wayne's World (1992) Wayne is still living at home. He has a world class collection of name tags from jobs he's tried, but he does have his own public access TV show. A local station decides to hire him and his sidekick, Garth, to do their show professionally and Wayne & Garth find that it is no longer the same . Wayne falls for a bass guitarist and uses his and Garth's Video contacts to help her career along, knowing that Ben Oliver, the sleazy advertising guy who is ruining their show will probably take her away from him if they fail.
[...] i remember programming john carmack's game of life...
Not John Carmack, but John Horton Conway, a renowned British amateur mathematician. He developed the "Game of Life" in 1970; it's still the best-known example of a cellular automaton. Its first appearance was in Martin Gardner's "Mathematical Games" column in the October 1970 issue of Scientific American.
Congratulations for having the testicular fortitude to program that in assembler. I did it in BASIC and it was a hair-puller.
How many AutoZone customers do you think have ever heard of SCO? For that matter how many do you think would care anyway?
Me. My wife. Our motorhead sons. All their motorhead friends. Our Chrysler-Jeep dealer. The local off-road shop. And dozens of other automotive do-it-yourselfers that all of us know. Yeah, we have gone out of our way to tell and re-tell the story, and everybody's been very interested.
Linux is, after all, an after-market add-on. These court rulings could affect a lot more people than just AutoZone.
Like you, that's also what I thought. I was gravely mistaken, however, and I have been generously educated to realize just exactly how menial and demeaning such a task would be for one's beloved spouse.
By the way, anybody know how to get a police whistle out of a rectum?
I'll be graduating in May as well and the range Ive seen is 45k to 55k
I took early retirement last year, and that's all I was making then, after 30 years. If I had it to do all over again, I'd be an electrician, or a machinist, or a welder. Anything but a goddamned software slave. It wasn't worth it.
[...] they all fail at installing a Sound Blaster Live[]. I tried "a couple versions of SuSE" too, and I can't name the specific versions, but they failed also.
Maybe the reason this problem isn't getting as much attention as it should is because it's not universal. I've gone through the four most recent boxed sets of SuSE, and my SBLive has never failed to be detected and installed. There's obviously something that you and I have done differently when installing Linux. Maybe it's something in my BIOS settings that makes it work... I don't know. The only people likely to have enough resources to pin this problem down is Creative Labs; flamewars in Slashdot won't advance anybody's cause.
...well, except maybe for the trolls who feed on the hatred and discontent in here.
I nominate the cover discs for the monthly magazine "Linux Format". I get 2 or 3 CDs per issue, and there's a DVD subscription option for those who want it. In the past they've included just about every major distro's ISOs, including bootable images. There's also lot's of bleedin' edge stuff that's too big for most of us to download, like the new OpenOffice or KDE3.2. Sometimes they've even got some really expensive proprietary packages that run as crippleware but they're usually complete enough to get some good use out of them.
So that's my vote for my lending library. But I'd still keep my subscription anyways.
You just tax the ISP and have them collect it for you. You don't have a LAN you say? Then you'll have to file a form at the end of the year to get a refund.
No problem is insurmountable when it comes to a governmental entity generating a revenue stream. If they're entitled to it, they'll find a way to get it.
