Read my post in context, dimwit. I was responding to the fellow who said that If I win I am cheatying the other players. That was the full extent of my comment.
oh?? is that what I did? Dear God CAN NO ONE RECOGNIZE SARCASM!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

Wooohoo! It's utdpenguin abridged! Could you do me a favour and do that for all of my posts? I've been meaning to create an anthology of all my worst typping errors, and you could realy make it easy for me . . .
there is nothing wrong with casinos stacking the deck or rigging the slot machines. Not like it's some kind of morally sickening activity. It simply gives the casino a better chance to win.
You have fallen into the trap! You have responded logicaly to a comment made sarcasticaly. This 1) further makes my point and 2) Makes us all wonder if you realized my sarcasm or are just that unaware:)
further example: Eskimo one: Wow! it sure is hot in here! Eskimo two: No it isn't you duffus! Its FREEZING!
It's just more convenient to cheat the blackjack system than the others because you don't need an electronic device to help you out. But it doesn't make it very fair to the casino or the other players.
So PAYING attention to the game and being creafull is CHEATING. I hope this idea never makes its way into Chess!!
And since I am playing to win. how am I cheating other players when I do my best to win. If they aren't doing their damn best to beat me then they are morons.
No it doesnt. Counting can involve simply knowing what cards have already been played and are ergo out of circulation. Have mostly high cards or mostly low cards been played, for example.
are, if I recall, and I may not, people who pay a whole lot ofattention to the game rihgt? I mean,. it's not like they are using loaded dice or subistuting in the ace thats hidden int he their sock. They are jsut palying intelegent. Damn them!!!! We mustn't allow that!!
Not exactly. Most of those copier will have a warning ont hem saying something to the effect of "copy material at your own risk." It is legla to caopy small portions (e.g. excerpt) but not to copy compeltely many of hte things you will find in your library. You can, however leglay make copies of some of it. The copy machines allow you to do so. And if you use them illeglay that is not the library's fault. Wish it worked that way for ISPs!:)
I'd have no problem with a book store doing this! Why? Well if I don't want the boosk edited, which I don't, then I jsut go to another bookstore and buy hte compelte book. The bookstore you imagine would be seeling edited books to people who want edited books. These people could buy the original and edit it themselves and you wouldn't ocmplain. So why can't a bookstore so market it? Now, if this was the _only_ bookstore in town, that would be a differnet story.
The big revelation is that Aragorn is old?? Well DUH. He is decended from the Numenoreans and has elvish blood. Elrond is like his super great uncle. I wish these movies had never been made. All of a sudden Im being forced into "Tolkien Conversations" with people who have never read the book. Back in the day when I talked LOTR the other person at least new the _real_ non-holywoodized version.
Ok ok. I KNOW Im ranting in a crazy fashion. I appologize. It is just that I am a Tolkien fanatic. Imagine (linux geeks) if all of a sudden everyone was using lindows and talking about how great linux was and if you tried to tell them about debian, suse or whatever distro you liek they were like "hunh? thats not linux."
Im goign to go drink something very strong and try to regain my composure. Thank you for reading this rant.
I realize that subscribers might nto be able to guarantee a first port. but they could make their first post ATTEMPTS better. For instance, they could include something that is actualy creative. Or semi-ontopic even when trolling. My beef here is wiht the QUALITY of fps. What I wouldnt give to jsut ONCE see a witty attempt. I woulda thought the extra viewing time allowed subscribers would have helped to facilitate this by allowing them to THINK instead of firing off the usual thoughtless reaction.
Will all these supposed subscribers seeing these stories early, you'ld think we coudl get some decent first posts instead of the garbage above. Sheesh.
I jsut got to positive karma again,b ut somehow, it doesnt feel right. Mod away.
Yes it does. nimrod. Im using it right now. Hover over the link and you will see the target displayed i the status bar at hte bottom. Read the whole thing and you will see that its a redirect to the goat site. Sheesh. Just LOOK.
Dave, A frequent motif in your weekly columns has been "this would be a great name for a rock band." E.g. ``Pain and Suffering?'' and Weasel Feet.'' My question is: are you aware of any band that has taken one of your suggestions to heart and named themselves after one of them?
And if the bofh's are all to blame, how come security conciuos MicroSoft (bastion of trustworthy computing) got hit??
Besides, M$ patches have ahsitory of jsu tnot working or opening new problems or opening vulnerabilities that old patches closed, so pardon Sysadmins if they are a little reluctant to trust them.
If these occurs every 6 months becasue people stop caring after this time, then hwo is it that this worm used a vulnerability that could have been fixed 6 months ago when,a ccording yto your theory,e veryone woudl have been hyper-aware of the worm threat? Unless each new worm takes advantage of a very new vulnerability, your theory is crap.

The reply is obvious!! Fight fire with fire!
A team of card counters? No problem! We respond with a beowulf cluster of MindPlay systems!

not really. How about something realted to the story.

And yes, I realize the irony of my going offtopic to complain about offtopicness

For the record, Konqueror already allows this. It hase come in usefull for me often.
Dave,
A frequent motif in your weekly columns has been "this would be a great name for a rock band." E.g. ``Pain and Suffering?'' and Weasel Feet.'' My question is: are you aware of any band that has taken one of your suggestions to heart and named themselves after one of them?
You dont need them for debian. Ther is no known virus that can affect a debian system.
And of course, firewalling capabilities are built in.
And if the bofh's are all to blame, how come security conciuos MicroSoft (bastion of trustworthy computing) got hit??
Besides, M$ patches have ahsitory of jsu tnot working or opening new problems or opening vulnerabilities that old patches closed, so pardon Sysadmins if they are a little reluctant to trust them.
Yeah, I know your trolling, but I had to respond.
If these occurs every 6 months becasue people stop caring after this time, then hwo is it that this worm used a vulnerability that could have been fixed 6 months ago when,a ccording yto your theory,e veryone woudl have been hyper-aware of the worm threat? Unless each new worm takes advantage of a very new vulnerability, your theory is crap.
