  1. It's the end of the world as we know it... on Recent Solar Flare Could Disrupt Communications · · Score: 1

    First Katrina, then the lump in Oregon. Now solar flares?!

    Apocalypse Now!

  2. Wow -- no posts --- and POOF! on Building the WallTop · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    That wasn't long...

  3. Re:Law Enforcement Ahoy.... on Best Buy Has Man Arrested for Using $2 Bills · · Score: 1

    2 of ya's from the greater GR area.

    I make 3.

    I went to GVSU for 4 years. The differnece in credit hour costs was negligible compared to the experiences you gain from going to a 4 year uni.

    Later guys.

  4. Re:Bundling always seemed bad to me on FCC Rules Telcos Need Not Provide Naked DSL · · Score: 1

    Hmm - No MTV - I remember those days.

    Comcast---err AT&T --- err whoever it was before that...

    No MTV and no ESPN2 in Grand Rapids. Hell, GR just got ESPN2 about a month or 2 ago.

    I now have DirecTV - I will never go back to CATV.

  5. Re:Bundling always seemed bad to me on FCC Rules Telcos Need Not Provide Naked DSL · · Score: 1

    Where in the world (in Michigan at least) can you get DSL from SBC w/o and SBC POTS line?

    Is this a secret hidden project?

    Or do you have a T1? :)

  6. Did any one else misread.... on Unix To Beef Up Longhorn · · Score: 1

    "VNUnet has a story about Longhorn having the ability to run unix or linux code via SFU."

    as:

    "VNUnet has a story about Longhorn having the ability to run unix or linux code via STFU."

    ?

    Too much Battlefield this weekend w/ all the smacktards running around spouting STFU!!

  7. Re:Had to go back to 0.6 on Less is More: Thunderbird 0.7 Review · · Score: 1

    Damn, me too.

    I only tried to install a few extensions (getall, engimail)

    Extensions must not jive w/ .7 yet.

    I'm glad moving the .6 folder back into place was a painless solution from .7 not even starting at all.

  8. Murphy's Law on No Federal Do-Not-Spam Registry For Now · · Score: 5, Funny

    Spammed if you do, spammed if you don't.

  9. Re:Good articles on Dispelling the IPv4 Address Shortage Myth · · Score: 1

    Agreed. I have a few Iproute boxes out there still ... never have any problems with those buggers. Dual NAT can be tricky -- but once you get the equation right, it's just a matter of tweaking per situation.

  10. Re:Hire from Canadian Colleges on Mainframe Techies Are A Dying Breed · · Score: 1

    I too, had 2 semesters of COBOL / CICS worked into my Information Systems degree.

    I thought it was a bunch of hooey ... until I walked into a Fifth-Third bank branch and a bunch of their teller-terminals had a familiar CICS-looking screen.

    Hmm - :)

  11. Re:Best way to survive tornadoes on Surviving Tornadoes · · Score: 2, Interesting

    The best way to survive is not to be stupid.

    1) Know your surroundings
    2) If the sky is green, there's a problem.
    3) Have a plan
    4) Practice the plan
    5) Hang on for dear life

  12. Re:Wow on Junkyard Wars Tour · · Score: 0, Troll

    I thought so too! :) Thanks for the kind words.

    Or did I miss your *sarcasm* */sarcasm* tags?

  13. Re:Yeah but will they let you keep it? on Junkyard Wars Tour · · Score: 1

    Chicago is the closest venue for me . :( Only a 3 hour drive from Grand Rapids, though! :D

  14. Woot! on Junkyard Wars Tour · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Yay -- one of my favorite shows is coming to a mall near me?! Where do I sign up? :)

    A nice step forward for a television show -- involving viewers in person.

  15. Re:Give M$ credit. on Microsoft's Athens PC · · Score: 1

    Let me clarify -- not giving credit to MS for doing it -- credit in that it's smart business.

    MS is still in business --- donde esta los "dot commers" from bygone years? GONE - because they didn't use good business sense ala MS.

  16. Give M$ credit. on Microsoft's Athens PC · · Score: 1, Interesting

    Dell is one of the (if not) biggest PC manufacturers. If MS can get on the bus w/ Dell and start locking open-source out of PC's this way - not a bad idea for the folks at MS.

    Don't get me wrong ... I like the idea of more integration, phasing out of legacy *stuff*, etc...lets keep it open to all players, though.

    Blah blah blah ------

  17. Who does the CATV for the complex on DSL Hardware for Wiring Condos? · · Score: 1

    Hell, if you can co-operate w/ the CATV folks, drop a CMTS in the CATV head-end and provide cable modems to residents. I'm sure the units are pre-wired w/ coax. Then you don't have to worry about pulling cat5.

    Bring in a T1 to begin with, possibly 2 from any given ISP. The CMTS can do your DHCP for you.

    Check e-bay out - you can find some cheap-o CMTS's.

  18. Re:touch my butt! on Strange New Keyboards and Mice · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    LOL - so offtopic, but I I had a good laugh at its expense.

    "I have a dutch accent, isn't dat vierd?"

  19. It'd take a few days to get used to... on Strange New Keyboards and Mice · · Score: 1

    It's just natural for your hands to be in the position for the vertical keyboard. I *too* would like to try one out -- if only cheaper.

    Who wants to send me one?

  20. MMmmkay on Mandrake 9.0 for AMD 64-bit Technology · · Score: 2

    Why would you say that it's avaliable for download ... and then not actually have it anywhere? Am I missing something?
