I had the idea awhile ago that they should put badges into watches (should've patented it) Why? So they could put the id readers into the door knob, and my lazy ass wouldn't have to scan a badge and turn the knob.

Yeah, unfortunately not every programmer is a user either. I have several work-specific programs that require case-sensitive input. Of course, the case-sensitive input is always in CAPS. So I constantly use Caps Lock at work.

Son, we live in a world that has walls, and those walls have to be guarded by men with software. Whose gonna do it? You? You, HR? I have more responsibility here than you could possibly fathom. You weep for payroll, and you curse the admins. You have that luxury. You have the luxury of not knowing what I know. That the cost of manpower, while costly, probably saved money. And that my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, saves money. I know deep down in places you dont talk about at parties, you don't want me on that wall, you need me on that wall.
I stored all my important data on gold records like the one on Voyager. Estimated shelf-life was a billion years. Yes, that's what they really estimated.
I do remember being amazed as a kid that with a needle, a piece of paper, and some tape I could actually hear what was put on a record.
Though that would have been enough to scare me away from buying an Iomega product. The fact that they had the gall to settle a class action suit with a rebate if you bought more of their product more than convinced me never to deal with this company.
Most people don't care what operating system they run. All they care about is that it works and runs the programs they want.
As pointed out in another post. Download->Install->Run whether it's an OS, an application, or a game.
The problem is that you generally have choice, standardization, or bloat.
Standardization is a console system. Here's the hardware, and maybe an OS, etc.. Deal with it and any limitations that have been imposed.
Bloat is you wanted it to do almost anything without having to do anything yourself.
Choice is you having to choose what you want. The problem being that no one wants the same thing. That's why there are so many Linux distros.
If you want Linux to be mainstream, give up your distros. Windows isn't popular because it's the best OS for a specific task. It's popular because it does most things ok. If there was only one distro, it would slowly become more mainstream.
I don't have a major problem with not doing engine work on a new car, even though I've done enough work on my old cars. It's the stupid little things that normal people or normal mechanics wouldn't be able to do easily like changing the battery. My guess is no roadside service. Trust me when "those women designers" are stranded in winter because of a dead battery, and the Volvo Mechanic can't get there for a couple of hours, we'll see a redesign.
Also magnets in the seats??? That definitely needs to be changed to another type of fastener.
I bought a hardcover fiction book at Barnes&Noble for $25. I sorta read it. Four months later, I tried to return it for money and they said they wouldn't give me any money. The bastards, I even told them that I really didn't read the whole thing, I just skimmed the last chapter to find out the end. No luck.
Next time, I got smart. I saw a computer design book for Photoshop CS for $50. I asked the clerk where their used copies were. He said they didn't carry used books. I told him what a ripoff and then complained that they'd probably come out with another edition once I bought this one. The clerk walked away muttering something about stupid customers.

Yeah, but the brains behind it is Tim Higgins. He made a great site called www.practicallynetworked.com which I believe he sold off then he went on to make www.smallnetbuilder.com,which he seems to have somehow combined with Tom.
What will happen? I don't know, but at least give him a chance to go bad.
Kill Doctor Lucky (board game) and Falling (card game) are just two of the great games they have to offer. They even have US Patent #1. A game where you and others have invented a time machine and race back in time to see who can get the first patent. "If you have a time machine, it really doesn't matter who invented it first. All that matters is who gets to the Patent Office first."
An important thing to note is that they heavily test these games and get feedback from gamers to improve their games.

True, but first off the file has to have an MD5 hash. I'm sure you could start the download, get the hash through different programs, stop it, use a search with the MD5/load directly into the P2P program. If you're downloading an Linux iso, they'll have the MD5 available for download. Of course, you're already logged into an FTP site to get the MD5, so why not download the iso too. Yes, there will be cases when the FTP's are swamped. The other option is to get the MD5 from a trustworthy forum. I do think MD5 within P2P is essential. I use MD5 and different P2P forums to make sure I'm getting what I wanted. I've just always found FTP to be faster, and more convenient for Linux isos and shareware.
I probably should have split my sentence up and clarified my opinion more.

Don't use computers. Use a pen and pad. Good programming should be done before it's entered on a computer.
I do like the idea of just saying No wireless networks. Monitor, if you catch them - humiliate them, then ban them for a couple years.

Lupo Action
The VW Lupo has received awards for being the most fuel efficient car, and records like this just add to the fact. 101.6MPG while averaging 50MPH

I just used P2P to look for my "lost" Quake III key.
I've also found my "lost" financial records, tax returns, etc. this way. Why do people share their whole drives?
