Maybe you could speak to your party leaders and remind them that while there are many reasons you chose to become a republican; "I like being associated with blowhard ***holes" was not one of the reasons.
Thats about the most level-headed and insightful thing I've read today. Too bad youre an AC and no one will read it.
Some of us do have the patience to read at -1 (as is suggested by the management). Nothing gets by us.:-)
And (on-topic) you can list my profession as Samurai. It is my honour to serve.
The lack of scientists, engineers and technocrats in our ruling halls of power is a sad indictment of not only our government institutions, but of society as a whole.
Right !@#$ing on!
Get rid of the Lamar Smiths, please! Bring back the Jimmy Stewarts already.
Suddenly her eyes started to bug out, and she said, "What the hell is THAT!" He turned around, and found that something on one of the web pages had changed his desktop picture to two naked guys sunbathing on the beach.
They weren't gay guys. They were nudists. Enjoy.:-)
I remember well the day that some jerk showed me that rsh was running on my box. I'd never heard of the thing before.
Spent the next 6 years developing a derivative thin-client distro for schools and deploying it into schools all over Africa (lots of fun travelling)...
You son of a bitch! That was *my* dream job!!!111
Damnit.
it was like we were the rebel alliance and we were fighting the empire. A small band of brothers - always advocating, trying to argue away the FUD... now most people have Linux running on their phones and don't even know it.
First, they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win. Boring out here now, isn't it? Pathfinders R Us.:-)
I actually had to walk to my friends place to download the latest XNA and Visual Studio.
Idiot! Sorry, had to be said. I downloaded Linux when it was ca. 40 floppy disks, '93-ish. I was using Telix with BBSs, wondering wtf The Internet was, and wondering why the hell it was taking so long for us to get connected to it. Then I got a job at Atomic Energy Canada Ltd. (AECL), and found out they weren't even connected yet. Holy !@#$!, it felt like it was taking for !@#$ing ever to get going!
I feel much better now.
Damn, that was a frustrating time to be alive. "Why wasn't this working ten years ago?!?" It was, if you were fortunate enough to work in a connected University.
Why the hell can't I remember that MIT server's hostname where I first got this stuff?!? I *loved* that box!
We have laws prohibiting false advertising. I think resumes that told the truth would be an improvement.
But then what would recruiters do?
I actually know three recruiters who were useful (competent) in the past, but I've met a lot more who'd be performing a service to humanity by jumping into the nearest volcano. "No, you may not re-work my resume! It already says what I want it to say, and I don't much care what *you* want it to say. If your client can't read, it'll be his loss."
I take great pride in having failed miserably the accounting module in my programming course. It meant I'd never have to use Cobol.
I can't believe someone actually sued someone else over this. Holy !@#$, you Yanquis are nuts.:-O
["There are, in fact, girls on the Internet. And some of them program better than you." I'll put my perl up against yours any day (and you can fit all the double entendres you want to in there.:-)]
The whites and the rich are idiots there as well. Why is it that you felt the need to throw race in there?
Yeah, that was probably unfair, sorry. It's just seemed that all the news media pushed that bit to the limit. You didn't see any white looters on the news. The only whites on the news were cops shooting looters or innocent bystanders.
I pretty much agree with everything you said here.:-P
I wonder why they don't just dump it to tape and then blow it away. Bill the Feds for the tapes and costs and move on. "Not our problem."
I quickly did the math.
Thx.
MegaUpload has around 25 PB of data on the servers. IBM's biggest backup cart is 4TB in size and costs around $234 a pop. That makes for a cost of $1,467,500 just for the blank media...
Ha, haaa! Maybe if the Feds were presented with a bill like that every time they went on one of these excursions, they might think twice about it.
I can't see that being any more comfortable for my dangly bits than the claws...
Really? Cat claws anywhere near your dangly bits? That's close to the last thing I'd want in life. Sorry for my lack of specificity. Grab *the cat* by the head,...
... or a young and playful pet cat thinking that one's dangley bits look like cool toys and lunge for them while one is standing at the kitchen counter making one's own breakfast.
I just have to say, you people are especially sick today. Dangly bits and cat claws?!? Yuck. Ya know, if you grab it by the head and flick quickly, that problem disappears forever. Until you get another cat.
Never should a people be responsible for themselves. You should live your life so that if anything goes wrong you have a plan to sit on your porch and wait for a savior.
It was a post-hurricane disaster area, exactly what FEMA was supposed to have been created to mitigate, all of it exacerbated by the ineptitude of the Army Corp of Engineers that were for decades building a levee system that was almost designed to fall over one day. Yeah, maybe the Louisianians (?) didn't do enough to help themselves, but for me the similarities between post-Katrina and the Rodney King riots are pretty striking, and there aren't many Cajuns in California.
I was working with ExxonMobil at the time of Katrina, and their datacenters in *Texas* didn't come out unscathed, even with close to a month's warning and the best disaster recovery program money can buy. It took them close to a month to drag everything back to full functionality.
Blaming the result of Katrina on poor black trash is hardly fair. They were set up to fail, thank you very much GWB. Remember how solicitous Obama was when the next disaster loomed? At least he learned something from the debacle.

But, Newt knows all about the sanctity of marriage! He's been married three times!
... and cheated on all three. True to form.
If he does that to his wives, what's he going to do to his electorate?
No, I don't expect better from the alternatives.
shameful what the republicans stoop to. I know both parties are scum but the repubs just seem to redefine what scum means.
Oh come on! You haven't been bothering to listen to your Secretary of State recently?
Except that Dahmer is dead and cannot run for office.
Shivved in a prison shower. What a fitting end that was.

I downloaded Linux when it was exactly 2 floppy disks (Ted Tso's boot/root set).
You lucky bastard. I got SLS to start out. That was entertaining! :-P
9600 "baud" is gibberish. There was no such thing. 9600 BPS, yes.
Payload Specialist:
aka "passenger".
Glenn was an astronaut. Not Senator Glenn, but pilot Glenn.

Congratulations on being a superior human being.
I'll be happy to watch your house for you when you go on vacation. :-)
Pay the russians to fly you to the ISS and you will be a legitimate astronaut.
You can buy that title.
There's "astronauts", and then there's "The Right Stuff." You can buy the former, but not the latter.
Go for it! I mean, do we really need to regulate job titles now? If so, resumes are about to get a lot less colorful...
We have laws prohibiting false advertising. I think resumes that told the truth would be an improvement.
You can say "I used to be an accountant" ...
I take great pride in having failed miserably the accounting module in my programming course. It meant I'd never have to use Cobol.

Maybe they could pass it on to the *AAs ...
Yeah - nowhere to put the change
"Keep the change, kid."
How about because one has a significant other who actually dislikes always having the blinds closed?
Yeah? So? Tell 'em your a nudist and it's natural. Everybody likes that crap these days.
grab it by the head and flick quickly ...

Dogs don't do that sort of !@#$, btw.
Being naked feels like being in the car without a seatbelt; It's just wrong.
Weird. You'd have made one lousy Australopithecus.
I did not need to know any of this. Condolences to your girlfriends, or maybe they're just as obese as you?
Never should a people be responsible for themselves.
