When did the word Liberal become an epithet along the lines of "motherfucker" or "idiot" or "cocksucker"?
Furthermore, why are there so many young people that are so conservative these days? It's scary. Conservatism in young people manifests itself as militarism and social Darwinism, and if that's what our country is going to become, no wonder the rest of the world wants us dead.
Time to start looking into Canadian job opportunities.
most programmers don't want to learn and don't care. A lot of them aren't young, malleable, impressionable kids that can be fooled by shit like XP, most of them are older, entrenched in their career, do their time and go home type people.
And mentoring junior people is a pain in the ass. You have no time to do your job because you're spending it all trying to do yours. Unless you LIKE working 16 hours a day, in which case, you should be shot, not modded up.
oh, bullshit. There is no 'free stuff inside' sign on an unsecured computer, any more than there is one on an unlocked car or an unlocked house. You have to look INSIDE the car or house to see if there's anything worth stealing in it, and that in itself is illegal. (looking through the windows of a car isn't illegal, but that's beside the point)
All of you elitist bastards keep jumping on the less computer literate for not doing something they don't know they have to do... well, those of you who work for ISPs and in IT wouldn't have JOBS if it wasn't for the less computer literate, so stop your fucking childish whining.
I was working for a small PC white box OEM in 1995, and Seagate had a run of bad drives right around Christmastime. I'd say for every Seagate we pulled, 2 out of 3 crapped out on the format-and-burn. It got tracked down to a quality control thing at one of the factories they were buying parts from.
Either way, it sucks to lose the data, but Seagate's still around and they fixed their reliability problems. Lots of people swear by them. By the same token, I've never seen a bad Fujitsu drive so YMMV.
If you don't give out the password, you're not seen as a team player, but as a paranoid nut that refuses to help out the corporate cause. If you do give it out, you run the risk of handing out proprietary information and being sued later on for violating some NDA that you signed without knowing about it.
Companies will find a way to screw you any way they can. Better him than me, so jim should send this request on to his supervisor.
Almost every PC comes standard these days with a CD-R. This means that people can press their own CDs.
Instead of merely selling mp3s online, why not sell ISOs of CDs? Then, once you download them, you can use your own software to burn the CDs.
This idea would require a) a huge pipe from the server b) a shit-ton of disk space c) a thorough proliferation of broadband, so it's probably not workable right now. OK, never mind.
I've never had a server get slashdotted. I haven't even done sysadmin for 2 years. But the fact is, I HAVE done it before and I know what happens when the web server goes down, and it's not fun.
It's obvious that sysadmin penis compensation thing is what's going on here. Only admins with small dicks/brains/homosexual tendencies would let their servers be slashdotted, right? har har, that's so goddamn funny I just shit my pants from laughing so hard!
It's the superiority complex that these people have that's fucking sickening. That's why I got out of admin. I knew I wasn't cut out for sysadmin when my 365-day uptime didn't cause me to spontaneously orgasm.
Why is slashdotting a site so hilarious to you fools? Every time a story is posted there are a dozen idiots that get modded up to +5 funny just saying "oh gee, look, their site's down"
1) There's nothing fun about being the admin of that box 2) The fact that all these sheep are blindly clicking on the link is sad and pathetic 3) It's just not humorous.
[spoken intro] I've heard people say that Too much of anything is not good for you, baby But I don't know about that There's many times that we've loved We've shared love and made love It doesn't seem to me like it's enough There's just not enough of it There's just not enough
I was thinking more along the lines of the "inhumane" weapons that the Geneva convention bans, such as wooden bullets. It seems that a laser with no visible beam would qualify as inhumane if it's ever deployed as an anti-personnel, direct fire weapon.
I'm not defending it, I'm just stating why it happens. World politics is all about kissing the ass of people you don't want to kiss the ass of. War sucks.
I'm in the midst of such a project for my employer. It's going to be nasty.
Right now we just plan to charge sales tax on customers in jurisdictions where we have nexus. That means only a handful of states. Iteration 2 of the project is to do this for international transactions.
Right now we're just a service provider,not a vendor of 'hard goods', so our only product class is subscriptions to our service, but it's still going to be a bitch because of all the shoehorning we have to do of the tax calculations into our software.

Email me with Endora to explain that.

Until then, it's not teaching you jack shit about sysadmin'ing.

Then they'll say NASA couldn't have done that in the 60s, but they did with today's technology.
Just give them free tinfoil for their hats and be done with it.

5. Profit!
forget the stock, where can I buy that pr0n??? This may finally make women obselete like vibrators made us obselete!
when I masturbate it's always meaningful. What are you insinuating?
you went to a party? and you're on slashdot?
what's the temperature in hell?
Barry White disagrees:
Song: Can't Get Enough of Your Love, Babe
[spoken intro]
I've heard people say that
Too much of anything is not good for you, baby
But I don't know about that
There's many times that we've loved
We've shared love and made love
It doesn't seem to me like it's enough
There's just not enough of it
There's just not enough
shame you're going to get modded Troll because you're exactly right about them.
thank you for the SDPI. time to kill myself.
I was thinking more along the lines of the "inhumane" weapons that the Geneva convention bans, such as wooden bullets. It seems that a laser with no visible beam would qualify as inhumane if it's ever deployed as an anti-personnel, direct fire weapon.
Wonder what the Geneva Convention will be modified to say about this.
There is no fork.
er... that's not right...
