"The Florida Appeals Court, Fifth District said that Beverly Ann O'Brien "illegally obtained" records of husband James' online conversations with another woman as the two played Yahoo Dominoes together."
Good lord, she must have been a controlling bitch. Now playing online games of DOMINOS is cheating too? I swear, women need to quit redefining "cheating" because it's getting kinda crazy here.....:P
Well, don't forget, the President of the United States also taught us that diplomacy "takes too long" and we should resort to violence to remove that Saddam Hussein guy.
It's like he was just the Boss on the first level - Who's on Level 2, Kim Il-Jung?
GTA (etc) have sold MILLIONS of copies. How many kids have gone out and blown people away? And please don't (not you specifically, people in general) even bring up friggin Columbine. They tried that lame excuse there and blamed Doom for causing those two to carry out the crimes. If they really played Doom and were any good, their frag count would have been a hell of a lot higher than it was.
Quit blaming video games. Video games didn't cause your kids to be violent. Judas Priest didn't cause your kids to shoot themselves. Elvis didn't cause your kids to be promiscuous.
When the hell did people stop being responsible for their own actions?
If I have 20 boxes to build, I can install Gentoo over the network, just like Red Hat.
It's very easy to clone hard drives to get consistant results across the farm. Been there, done that.:-)
My attitude definately isn't elitist, either. The same can be said for those that push Red Hat even though it's not really the right tool for the job. I personally don't care what distro gets used, and honestly, I forgot my earlier point. heh. I think I was talking about RPM heads being lazy. In that situation, the Whitebox/Centos installs took more time to get configured because many unnecessary packages needed to be removed from the systems and many updates needed to be applied.
You should know by now that you do NOT need to compile *everything* on a Gentoo box. I've been using it on production machines for quite a while and it's been great.
Just because you can slap down a Red Hat box in 2 hours doesn't make it a more viable alternative.
FYI, I've taken only about 3 hours to get a Stage 1 Gentoo box up & running on a Dell PowerEdge 2650 with 2 2.8ghz Xeons. Sure, $RPM_DISTRO installs faster, but in the end, is it really worth it? I don't think that it is.
Good point. I worked for a bunch of idiots that stuck to Red Hat because they needed the "Enterprise support" and "Gentoo will never be a viable distro" (total BS, but whatever..)
Then they started switching to Whitebox Linux.
The only real reason I can see is that they were all RPM heads that just wanted to point & click through the installer. That's why boxes were getting put into production with both Sendmail and Postfix running at the same time and stuff like "localhost.localdomain" showing up in outbound emails.
Oh, and the company didn't want to pay for Red Hat support contracts.
why the RPM-heads didn't give Novell/SuSE a better look, I don't know. I can only wager that it's because they were so stuck on Red Hat that any change would meet resistance.
Once you are an eMusic subscriber, you will continue to be billed monthly until you cancel your subscription. "
When i was a subscriber, they implemented these changes and forced you onto one of the new plans - but they would not let me cancel until my 12 month subscription was up. *THAT* pissed me off to no end. They completely yanked the All-You-Can-Eat, limited it to 40 mp3s per *month* and then said "No, you cannot cancel. Bugger off!"
Unbelievable gall they had. I wrote them, told them how upset I was about their nerve, and cancelled the credit card that it was billing.
I used to use them. I downloaded LOTS of stuff, but a)they SEVERELY limited the number of tracks you could download and b)I got a nasty email from them when I "downloaded an excessive amount." I was trying to replace the mp3s I had downloaded in their newer higher bit rate VBR instead of 128kbps. But with the stupid monthly cap, stupid rules, and really, lack of a decent selection, I ditched it.
Now they continue to spam me, too. I get "Please come back!" offers from them, despite my unsubscribing from them repeatedly.
Ok, had they just shut the site down, that's one thing.
But is the smart ass web page they put up *really* necessary? Do they really have to resort to the intimidation factors? All that seems to say is "Ha ha, we got one!"
I think that the "you can click but you can't hide" crap is really childish of them, but I guess we should expect no less.
Just get an account at Washington Mutual. They treat everyone like shit.:-)
They also seem to have a strange teller to customer ratio. For every 10 people standing in line, have 1 teller. Oh, but always have 10 teller windows - but never staff more than 3 at any given time.
ie, "laundromat close by a coffee shop in Sunnyvale, CA" or something like that. The ability to put multiple locations together like that would be great to have.
Ever been in the music industry? Ever been in a full time working band? There are a LOT of bands out there that say "oh, we're better than $GROUP and they're on a label. it's so unfair" when the reality is, they're not better. They just think they are.
Not all bands are great bands and so label worthy. Sorry. It's just reality.
God, that would be great. Nothing like having to pick up the slack for a female coworker that's off for months for maternity leave and then taking off early all the time to tend to children.

Now it really IS cheaper than iTunes. :)

Dude, there is so much good porn on usenet... it'll never go away. Even if it's just filled with porn, Usenet will live on.
Oh, there's a few good text groups here and there, but mainly, usenet is for porn.

Motorhead won a Grammy too.
:)
So did Bill Clinton.
yeah, hell has frozen over.
Very true, but if corporate/enterprise levels of support are required, Novell/SuSE is certainly a viable option. :-)

Yeah, they changed their plans a *lot* too..
"eMusic offers three subscription plans:

Ok, so you're one of the 15 people that exercise.

holy cow! Uh, are there more? I need to.. uh.. evaluate the competition.. uh.. yeah. :D
I didn't see the other post. I'll have to check it out now that it's after morning coffee time. ;)
Dude, I wouldn't hit that with CmdrTaco's dick with Timothy pushing.
:P
Foul. It's not even 9am. I really did not need that visual this early in the morning. Catch me after lunch.
Slashdot the crap out of it. 9 comments and I get a "Connection Refused" error trying to load the link.
Let me guess, they tested out the "Most Common Ways to Kill a PC" on the web servers, eh?
ie, "laundromat close by a coffee shop in Sunnyvale, CA" or something like that. The ability to put multiple locations together like that would be great to have.
if there's a way to do this, I am unaware of it..
How can you tell the difference between a legal and illegal cab? Time for a Public Service Slashdot Post. :)
When I'm actually insightful, I get modded as Flamebait. When I'm being a complete dick, it gets modded as Informative.
:P
you guys are wierd sometimes.
and -buy -cart -sale and half a dozen other words. :(
The internet is being reduced to a crappy strip mall.
Idiot mods, I swear.
Ever been in the music industry? Ever been in a full time working band?

What if we think those bands you mentioned suck? :P
Sometimes these "indy artists" are down there for a reason - they just lack any sort of mass appeal and don't do well outside of a niche market.
