If only you could edit a post, I'd remove it. But where would be the fun in that? So much for previewing a post. I shoulda scrolled up. So it's all out there now.
Variety is the spice of life and of orgasm. Learn how to find the g-spot, it does exist. Read about how to last longer than a couple of minutes in the sack. Learn what works for you. As Sam Kinison said, "Lick the alphabet!" It definitely works. She says, "More capital W, M, Q and G."
By the way, 5 is not the record. It's 7. She thinks I should teach a class.
It's the long-term that I have a problem with. Apparently I'm a bit abrasive. Communication is sometimes a problem. Actually I had intended to delete that part, don't know why I even typed it. Probably due to some other post I read this morning where a slashdotter doubted another's ablility to have a relationship. I was wanting to spice up the day I guess. Mod the original a Troll if you want. I don't care.
I fail to see how a pissed off user can be considered a Troll. I have a legitimate beef with the use of Flash and a beef with the requirement to FORCE an upgrade of a plugin. Can't you flash programmers customize the plugin upgrade message that pops up when I see your site? Let me know what I gain by upgrading a player. Let me know why you didn't build an app that degrades gracefully rather than requiring a different plugin.
I can understand advertisers and marketroids wanting to use flash for ads. It keeps the user from being able to close or end the blinking, flashing ad, unless of course you use Flashblocker like I do. If I actually want to view something that is in Flash, it requires an extra click. No problem.
In my corporate environment, there is a Flash plugin installed to IE and the box requires local admin rights to upgrade stuff like this or install new stuff like Firefox. If you are in a support position like I am, this is easy. If you are not, you must wait in line and may not get the upgrade. All of a sudden the thing I want to watch on my break must be viewed from home or I may forget about it.
These "highly sensitive sensory organs" sound a lot like a penis. But then again I only use mine to feel my way forward when having sex.:)
It makes sense that they would have to feel their way in the dark under the ice. The far north and south experience a long period of darkness each year and not much light can make it through the thick ice. I figure the males have the tusks since they must lead the pod.
Yes, I realize this is Slashdot and most of you here don't have girlfriends, wives, Significant Others, sex (other than with yourself), but I do. Been married twice, have had many girlfriends, have one now and have lots of sex. I am abnormal among this crowd, but I like you guys. In some things, it helps to be a geek and know lots about a subject. Sex is one of those. Learn all you can boys. Some day a girl will give you a shot and you need to put on a show. I gave mine, 5 orgasms in an hour Sunday night. Keeps her smiling for days.
You don't have to wait to start using Flash 8. Just be an ass and require use of the plugin for NO extra functionality, just like everyone else.
Seems like every time I actually want to go to a site that I know uses Flash, there has to be an update. I only look at Flash in IE, since Flashblock on Firefox stopped letting Flash stuff work at all.
What really sucks is that new Google video player that requires Flash. What is wrong with the 4 other players on my PC? Winders Media Player, Quicktime, Real, Winamp.
Heaven forbid that I ever be able to find a book that I want. Anyone ever hear a line from a book and can't remember the title? Anybody else have trouble finding stuff thru the library's search system? My hand was raised twice.
Sometimes the search system is so clunky that it is nearly unuseable, that happened to me in college while doing research papers. I had to have the help of a librarian many times to find usefull results. I learned a lot about boolean back then.
Mine runs great too. I spent extra on the motherboard to get a nForce 4 that would be very upgradable and had the new PCI-E. Spent around a hundred for a decent refurb PCI-E Geforce 5900 card. I also bought better quality corsair memory and got a gig of it. I couldn't be happier. Several months after the system was runnning and doing great, I found a deal on a nice 17" LCD and that just really improved my PC viewing. Last thing I need are some decent 5.1 speakers for a good price.
I know it wasn't the greatest, but I actually enjoyed Daredevil.
As for Red Planet...well, at least the robot was able to kill most of the cast. There were enough plot holes here to drive a truck thru. Of course they would travel millions of miles thru space and then run into a micro meteor shower right before entering orbit. Silly me, I thought it would take more than 5 minutes to attain orbit so you had time to go around and fix holes before everyone abandons ship. And of course, nematodes eat algae AND human flesh and spacesuits, then poop oxygen. And we must have a crew member that will run amok and push someone off a cliff and try to sabotage the mission for his own survival. Your average astronaut SHOULD be able to splice together a radio from a scrapped mars rover and make a fubar old Russian probe launch his sorry ass directly back into the cargobay of his passing ship, using only duct tape, a dead robot battery and a little unused rocket fuel poured from an ore container. MacGuyver, is that you?
So how do you go about becoming a reviewer for the Academy? I've always wondered how you join, how you get to see the good and the bad before everyone else?
I'm a big-time movie slut. I'll watch anything once. Heck, I even watched that turd, History of Violence. There was a movie that left you wanting, wanting your money back.
I used to work for the shipper of promo materials for Universal. Envelopes out the butt would come thru our terminal in Kansas City. Every once in a while, one would get caught on a conveyor belt and rip open, spilling glamour shots of stars of the movie. They may have sent the movies, but I never saw them. I taped up the semi-damaged envelopes and sent them on.
I went to atrpms.net (I think that's the site) to download a copy of Nessus in RPM form. On the Nessus site, I only found source and I was having problems installing it, so I figured RPMs would be helpful in that case, just making it a 'set it and forget it' type of thing.
First off, Nessus is not an app that a beginning user should be setting up on his desktop of all things. It is a network sniffer. If you need to use it, you should know what you are doing with a basic Linux system first and that includes CLI stuff. They don't, AFAIK, package it, because they aren't interested in what flavor of Linux you run it on. That said, some Live CDs come with it and other networking tools preinstalled. Did you ever think about using one of those? I'm not suggesting you change distros wholesale, but use what is appropriate for the project.
So, back to your distrobution of choice, Fedora. I would say that if you wanted to install any app on it, you would ask a question in the appropriate forum section at the Nessus or other software support site first, specify your distro and wait for an answer. You could also go to the support site for your distro and ask in the software forum, doing a search of both forums for an answer before actually posting.
This useless bunch of hand-wringers will get as much done on this issue as they did on human rights in Rwanda, Somalia, Iran, Iraq, Afganistan, Cuba and every other place where dictators and assholes have reigned. They are all talk and talk is cheap. You want it? Come get it? Or shut the F up and help BUILD it.
What rock have you been under? If you like to keep up on network admin tools, then you are way behind. I first heard of Snort in 2001 or 2002. Snort runs on my IPCop firewall and scans for baddies trying to get in.
Hell, they are past version 2.4 and you are just NOW hearing about it? Holy crap!
I'd go for anything that would get the slow assholes out of the left-hand lane and create passing spaces between the semi trucks that hit the highway right at rush hour.
The real problem is in setting something like this up in your home and not having the family trained on how to use the technology, especially in an emergency. At the very least you need to post direct-dial numbers to police, fire and ambulance svc, poison control right by every phone. You should also post your address and phone number at the top for visitors/babysitters/relatives who may have to call for emergencies. This would be a "best practice" for all phone users, voip or not.
Unless or until VOIP, SIP, Skype systems are able to route to 911 service, then they have a major limitation and are possibly a danger to the average user. If public safety is in question, the 911 system should be opened up to all comers.
A buddy of mine uses this because it is cross-platform and has an IDE. It's not free, but it's easy, kind of like my last girlfriend. Shouldn't have married her, but that is another story.
How dare you try to make my life easier. I shall sick the dogs on you and all your kin./me crawls back in hermit hole.

I was going to reply to the story item that with fewer women in the field we will see a return to sanity and logic, but I realize after reading your refreshing post that it is not always true. I don't normally feel that way about women, but my current breakup is driving me to think that way. Forgive me.
It was not intended to be sexist, but to highlight the occasional run-in with women like my soon-to-be ex. She refuses to even try to learn something new, even though I know she is capable and smart and I encourage her that she is able. Example: I refurbed an old laptop for her to do some creative writing on. It was an older laptop, I put on Win98, since it was going to be behind a firewall so security wasn't a big problem. I tried to get her to use Abiword since it looks like Word, but requires less ram and CPU to run, but she flat refused to even try it for a while. I also had to create batch files to backup the laptop to her desktop because she refused to learn to connect to a share on another PC. After all that, she barely used it!!
So, that said, what are you doing next Saturday night? Just kidding, but do you have any female friends like yourself in the midwest?
Honestly, if you lurk around this site for more than five minutes you might hear of one. THat will protect your flimsy little Winders boxes till they get updated and then the next exploit comes out. I have not had a Winders virus since I put in a firewall and started using anti-virus software from Grisoft (free, by the way).
I use IPCop from www.ipcop.org and am very happy with the functionality, flexibility and protection it offers, for free also. And IPCop is Linux too.
Ok, so they are working on this in a micro scale, but when the hell are they going to make one the size of a gas tank that can power my car???
I've been reading autobiographies of astronauts and others involved in the US Space program recently. They all talk about the fuel cell developed and used during Gemini and later Apollo. I want to know why, 40 yrs. later, these things are not yet practical? Was there just not enough motivation to make one work in that 40 yrs or was it because until now, gas was relatively cheap and no one cared about the smelly smoke coming from cars?
I say force a greater percentage of cars to be hybrids as a start and get ready to roll out the fuel cells.
Just curious, but wouldn't this have been a better story topic if it were BEFORE the deadline of the contest? Maybe even with enough time to actually complete and hand in an answer so you could qualify for it. I know, it's a silly request. I guess you aspiring scholars can get ready for next year. Doh!
