I really couldn't understand what the front page post was trying to say because all the words kinda merged together in maybe two sentences, but that wasn't the worst of it, the ambiguous words played more like buzz word bingo and buzz word bingo is terrible because everyhting else just loses meaning, if you can releate to my words and their meaning. And now for my second sentence I will try to claim that Microsloth is the evil empirie in many ways not only in the United states but also in the EU as well some nasty feeling towards Microsloth in great country of Austrailia, without even tryin to back up my claims, but just relying on the resentment of Microsloth among the current community.
Hell, by the way you talk, it seems you couldn't contribute to a roman orgy with a twelve inch cock. Get with the times Jethro, and get broadband. Don't be so damn cheap. Hell, if broadband isn't available in your area there are other alternatives. Me thinks rsync'ing the kernel sources would work wonders. Worked for me when when I was stuck with 38.4 for four months. If your were so 'brilliant' you would have thought of this already.
Well, according to this texan gentelman I had the 'pleasure' talking to a few months ago, the democrats are the cause of all the pedophiles, rapist, and kidnappers.
Golly Gee I'm glad I don't live in that screwy state anymore.
For the last several months I been paying some people to put some wood, metal, plastic tubing, wires, concrete, and bricks together in the form of a house and now these bastards are claiming rights to 'the' house. They claim the brawn, brains, and time they spent building the house gives them the right to collectively own it.
I don't want Joe Windows on Linux and I don't want Linux development...
Kind of a self-centered attitude considering you resemble the kind of person is has not given a cent of time/money/sweat back to the community that feeds you.
Oh, why is the world such a me-oriented place? Makes me sad.
Out of 612 messages by whiners, ACLU fanatics, AC's, young punks who enjoy there freedom too much, some rational people, and a bunch of...well, assholes. Let me be the first to say that IT HASN'T AFFECTED ME AT ALL. Oh, wait. I had to wait in line an extra 90 minutes at EWR last month. I'm going out on a short limb here (b/c I know the answer): If you were magically warped back to 1941 and lived in NYC durning the mandatory blackouts and air raid drills, you fucks would be the ones who refused to turn out your lights b/c it's your freedom to keep your lights on? It's a damn shame it couldn't happen b/c sometimes I'd just like to see the bombs dropped on ya'll. Darwinism at it finest.
We study the past to predict the future. Things will return to normal. Stop your bitching.
Hmmm, I guess you've never dealt with large docs before? Around 800 pages of text, word starts to struggle while rendering typed text (intel 1.4)....your words come out in spurts. Same with a doc with ohh..lets say 70 figs (pngs) in about 50 pages...not to mention that fact that when you reopen your doc you should knock on wood that your figs are layed out the same as when you last saved it. Oh, and the constant disappearing cursor... and the....
heh, just like mini disc and beta...technical good stuff at the time but so damn pro-pri-it-ary (can't spell, drinking again) for anyone outside the sony mentality to persue (can't spell, drinking again) the technology.
Maybe i'm goofie, but me thinks more people have troubel with basic english than algabra has done. I'll leeve it up to the reeders to decide about it. How many grammatical erreor can you find in the front page comment was on? I'm not trolling b/c I could give too shits about typos here and their, and lots of grammitical errors, and mispellings in/.'s responses in here, however, if you make the 'front page' you should definetly at least double check your work too make sure everything is good and makes sense and their are no run-on sentences are in your article. Yes, geeks have to know how too write to. Very important.
Fortunately (unfortunaely for some) this will be the trend for a few more years while the untalented IT workers fade away. Before the boom, IT and IS had qualified workers. Then the web took off and my grandmother became a VB programmer b/c she's one of a few americans who can program her VCR. This led to calling HTML monkeys 'programmers'. Then the era of dot bombs and an increase in failed IT/IS projects came along.
Of course companies are tenative on dumping money into IT becuase the money still has a better chance winding up in/dev/null then it does being productive. Basically the same reason why the majority of americans are afraid to invest money in the market today.
A few more years when the unqualified IT/IS staff go back to ringing up Big Macs(tm), faith in IT/IS will return to normal. In the mean time, if you are good, just hang on and and do your best.
Also, as we get a few years older, more and more people (employers, co-workers, and ourselves) will understand the role of IT and our field will be better defined...thus better 'trusted'.
Penn State had so many PEBCAK problems between the departments and the bursar's office that I would have never grad-a-tuted if I didn't have paper copies of transcripts. Amazingly they always found the 'computer' errors after I showed hard copies of shit I printed out the semester before. Thank you PSU.
Jefferson and Madison were morons. It's amazing how well off this country is when our founding fathers were just as corrupt, if not more, as the shmoes running the goverment, Enron, AA, and Worldnet today.
The melting pot people have made this country, not the gov't. Gov't is just a neccessary evil.
Tell me again why whiteboxes are not out "in the wild?" I seem to have missed your point...
Because your 15... you haven't seen the wild yet.
Your friend's, as well as yourself, prob enjoy building these things so you happen to see a lot of white boxes within your peer group. The people I work with, go to PTA meetings with, church, etc. just want a computer so they go to Sears or the Wiz and get one, it's what they see on TV. 10 yers ago I would have told them I'd build one....I was running technical support with my friends alot when I was younger and the time came when I couln't do it.
Now a day's every company I walk into (I travel a lot for my work) uses Dells, HP's, IBM's, etc.. for their employees desktops. Why, b/c support for these are cheap when you dealing in bulk quantities. Plus if you need another 100 desktops you can get them in 5 days. (1 day if you live in Austin and you dealt with Dell, that that was only for 57 desktops though) Ma and Pa white box vendor on the corner, albeit good quality, cannot pull that off. Trust me, they can't.
I'm not saying white boxes are inferior....usually the they're far better machines. I just said that claiming 45% of the computers out there are white boxes is a bit far fetched. In my personal experience in the last 4 years I've seen less than 1% white boxes but that's not an accurate number either.
This is not a typo. It's a new technology. Humans have had speed for a while. Take some and it's speeds up the heart rate and some other things.
CPU's are now taking advantage of digital speed. These new white boxes have 2 GB of processing speed. You just need to set up a cron job to realease a couple bytes of speed into the CPU every few hours. It'll give it a wonder boost in processing power. Be careful, give the CPU too much at once though and you'll fry it.
45% custom built. That number to me is a bit hard to chew. Yeah, most geeks are going to build there own systems and even build them for their friends. I used to to this but gave up b/c I became tech support and started to lose my social life so I quit. Now I've got a Dell sitting on my desk, a POS compaq as my token winbox and a franken-clone as my wall to the outside world.
Now back to that 45% number, go into your friends houses, or better yet friends of your kids; go into virtually any business that employs more than 100+ people and you'll see a plethora of Dells and IBMs. Besides one friend of mine and the one sitting on my floor, I have not seen a custom built machine out in the wild for 4+ years.

Christ, you're talking AEstetics with money?!? Get a life. $$ serves one pupose...to pay for shit. If your laying awake at night bithing about how ugly greenbacks are.....well, me thinks you better talk to your shrink about it.
Actually it's not interesting. We're talking about green backs here and why they should or should not change becuase some dipshit doesn't know what they are looking at. I say fuck 'em. If you come to the States and can't learn the money you deserve to lose it. No I'm not a prick b/c it works the other way too. If some dumb ass american travels overseas and is too damn ignorant to learn the monetary system they deserve to be ripped off left and right.
What the heck?!?! I guess the south koreans I work with are wrong. I can't speak for the chinese or nipponese, but from what nortul tells me, south koreans read/use arabic numbers. I guess I'm just confused by your claim.

if you believe in freedom of speech, it doesn't mean that you can't critize someone for saying something;
Actually it does. I can criticise someone all want; that's my half of the freedom of speech. I just can't/won't stop them from saying it.
I've got a similar story..
For the last several months I been paying some people to put some wood, metal, plastic tubing, wires, concrete, and bricks together in the form of a house and now these bastards are claiming rights to 'the' house. They claim the brawn, brains, and time they spent building the house gives them the right to collectively own it.
