Frank Zappa smoked pot on a number of occassions ( I believe it was twelve). Many cultures regard mind altering drugs as spiritual experiences. It's not what you experience, it's how you experience it. Just because you were too close minded to utilize the experience to it's fullest ability doesn't mean it is useless. You found that it inhibited your thought patterns, not all people do. We should be teaching people how to utilize there drug experiences to there fullest potential, not creating a climate in which people can only use altered states recklessly. Just ask GW Bush about his cocaine trip, I'm sure he'd tell you.
I wish I could say the same for the hp9000 console keyboards. Man, those people go out of there way to make proprietary 'quipment (HPIB?). All the keys are in fsck'ed up places (id est the escape key right about the shift key). Highly annoying... sorry, had to gripe:-)
"First post" is saved for people who get to slashdot real early in the morning and they KNOW they are the first because no one wants to respond to the thread anyway. DUDE!
You need to say something positive. All you post is parental, critical crap. Try offering some suggestions instead of just going around debunking people everytime you post.:-) Thanks
Mackie's are the sweetest mixer you can buy for the price. Mutha's are built like brick houses to (except they don't use bricks). I ues them for my hard drive recording studio! I highly recommend!
Yeah, but I think that an underground culture will always exist in the computer world. Even if everything goes broad band commercially and is controlled by a few large companies. There will still be a subculture that remains hidden and entices the young will-be-coders to experiment and learn. It's just part of the human spirit to test the outer boundaries of what is possible, that will never die. I think actually beyond the facade of normalcy that is about ensue that there will be a great uprising among the youth once information is available at the click of a mouse. More and more people will begin to see the truth about the government, and the media. I think letting the corporations fund this and monopolizing it is just a cross we must bear. I mean it's such an expensive thing. But once it exists boy, there will be no stopping us!
LOL, I know, it's cool. But that fits exactly with my point! What if the govt was scanning slashdot posting looking for the keyword "heroin". You could have just had your life ruined because of a typo. Yes information is very powerful and can be evil, but it's moderation must be done very carefully and within the bounds of the established rules, there shouldn't be exceptions when it comes to inalienable rights such as privacy for just this reason! The innocent must always be innocent! Thread postings don't make very good evidence anyway, there are a million ways they could be forged...
Think about all the innocent peace loving people whose lives were ruined because of the cold war communist hatred... and compare it to the actual amount of people that were evil+communist...
Is this appropriate? Or would this just get us all on some kind of list? I'd think if we do what we did with all those other companies to get linux drivers for hardware, with our senators, it may help some... I'm not sure, what do you all think?
"Heroin is illegal in the US - I buy it within a 1/2 hour drive of my work"
I guess that explains why you think it's okay for the government to monitor communication for crime before a crime has been commited... Isn't that analogous to illegal search and seizure. It's obvious that even if child pornagraphers were using encryption, it wouldn't matter if they publically submitted it. They would have to give someone a key or there stuff would be pointless. Just sting them by getting them to give you a key, not monitoring all flow of transmission looking for 17 year old titty. Child pornographers don't widely support there cause with encryption, they submit it between eachother privately anyway. Same goes for drug dealers... Do you really think it's okie doke for the govt to scan all your transmissions looking for wrong doing. That goes against everything American stands for. You're obviously on some really good heroin. That's like saying locks on doors are illegal because it doesn't allow the cops to come in whenever they feel it's nescessary because your getting a hit. And you wouldn't accept that would you?
"Odd that you challenge his character when your bitter (and profane) resentment toward all things sacred would appear to be eating you alive."
there, you have made a judgement about his state of mind, even his very well being simply because he freely spoke his mind. You assume to much and judged his character...
As an agnostic, and an American I find this religious bombardment offensive. Posting Religious material in school is wrong. Ever heard of the seperation of church and state. That's the whole reason the first Americans left thier respective countries. It's fundamentally against what we created this country on. Words are words, nothing more.
patent all sexual transmissions that can be broadcast over the internet and percieved by the human body as a tactile in terms of the human experience. Id est feely pads shaped like breasts or rubber hands controlled remotely by third parties.
Yeah, I took an HP class and we were using those, pretty quick! Except the they need to be GNUified. O and they'll only take your first born child as payment!:-0
I work in a shop with a unix (hp9000) backend and an NT frontend, a bunch of web MLS services, they also have a bunch of file and print services, blah blah etc. I'm on a 24 hour pager and I've worked here for over 6 months with over 40 production (average of 150 users a piece) UNIX boxes and NEVER been paged. The NT guys are in here AT LEAST twice a week in the middle of the night rebooting boxes because they mysteriously are broken. Now, they may be uninformed admins with "memory timing problems" whatever you want to call them, but I mean that's just what I've seen from my own personal experience. I'm glad your machines work well, but I'm not misinformed... just stating what I've seen and heard from all my NT admin friends, not just the ones that work here either. They all assume that's how computers are supposed to behave, I'm just stating my opinion to the contrary. For example, thier file server crashed because a print driver was wrong. What's up with that?! A OS should never crash because of a wrong driver, maybe throw a message at the console but not cease to operate. The funny thing was it was actually still printing, it was just testy and mucked up! If you want to call that acceptable I don't know who is really the weenie... As for memory timing, I can only assume that you mean bios settings, and I have had problems with that many times, because my settings were wrong in the BIOS NT workstation would keep crashing. Since linux doesn't use the BIOS I've never had that problem at all... o, well I guess I just stooped to your level, but it was fun. Adieu
The first time I tried to go the ms site and read thier insane benchmark I got a database query error. It was pretty funny. I wonder how many people had to reload that page and then read those great NT benchmarks.
The math shows that linux boxes with one CPU can do 1000 hits per second reliably with room to grow. Now tell the truth, your administration staff is on call and they have to reboot your NT boxes 2-3 times a week for unexplained reasons, don't they? NT admins think rebooting a box 3 times a week is just a part of standard maintenance, to "put out fires". Unix admins use what's called sleep instead of "Midnight Maintenance". Apache wasn't designed with brute force in mind, the development team admits that. They used real world situations to model what was realistically going to happen and make a secure and DEPENDABLE system. Not a toy to show off with...

I'm not sure, what do you all think?
I never thought I'd say this, but..
Hook me up man!

Yeah but that also means no free mail service, ftp, your own DNS, etc. Which is lame...

o yeah
You give up that easily?
