are scratch-resistant CD's. or CD's you can pull the outer layer off of to reveal a new shiny surface. I treat my burnt cd's like shite, so its my own fault.. but still.
what isn't my fault is old cd's who's upper reflective layer begins to flake off.. cheap sons of bitches made in 1997 just arent sufficent. I lost my entire backup of por..err, my 600mb hard disk.
Senate Leader: Onto the next bill, entitled "50 million per senator per year" entertainment, expense, and pay raise bill, because we need to expense the caviar we eat when we discuss futures with xxAA members and talk about cracking raghead, queer, and non-jesus-loving skulls open on the sidewalk. Money will be appropriated from education.
You haven't been frightened until you've had a nightmare while staring your childhood "teddy bear" in his newly befanged face, while "Dolls Polyphony" was mysteriously playing.
Of course, my teddy was actually a rabbit. Which didn't make it any better.
The flight speed of a bovine unit would have to be exceptionally high. Higher indeed than Porcine Aviation, due to the higher weight and less areodynamic body. Then of course is the problem of no wings. But that's trivial.
Okay. Two cow-related posts in 2 days. Ton's of geeks going around saying moo. The gateway thing. And lets not even get started on the Hindu thing. WHATS THE DEAL WITH COWS?!
I heard once.. in the prolouge to 2001, as a matter of fact, that there were 8[i think?] men behind every one person alive today.
Regardless of its basis in research, i, myself, wouldn't estimate we're quite at that point. 6 billion is a big number, but i think in all the thousands of years and thousands of civilizations, you could scrounge up 6 billion.
However I would like to know where you got your figure from. I'd be interesting to see some research on said subject. I'm just too tired to do it right now. Remind me in the morning.
Hmm. Who knows, if the BigCo[tm] C?O's took yoga from these people, maybe the world would be a bigger practice. Western "Spanish Inquisition" tactics giving way to eastern philosophy.. a new synergy could form among the tech industry.. Sun & Intel get together to form the most powerful and cheap chips to empower everyone on the planet for their own good.. Sun, RedHat, and Microsoft get together to make a unified OS with the powers of each and the weaknesses of none that anyone on the planet could use simply, but would handle the most difficult task with sveltely..
Err.. hold on... this isn't a marlboro.

Just where you can get sun microsystems's view on this (not neccesarily mine.. but perhaps.. but maybe not..)
Q: Sun has done quite a bit in the way of Linux support, but you really haven't gone the IBM route of marketing Linux-based systems. Why is that?
A: We're the No. 1 Linux appliance server supplier in the world with the Cobalt line [from the acquisition of Cobalt Networks Inc. last year] (see story). We have Linux extensions to Solaris. We just don't think a Linux partition on a mainframe makes a lot of sense. It's kind of like having a trailer park in the back of your estate.
just curious about your sig - i've seen it around quite a bit - how long have you been a member of the gloriously unemployed? If you'll excuse my assumption
"I don't know that atheists should be considered citizens, nor should they be considered patriots." - George Bush
I don't know that idiots shouldn't be considered citizens, but i do know they shouldn't be considered for president. I wonder what George Jr's stand on this is. I guess he'll have to call his father to find out.
A friend of mine has a pair of monster speaker cables that cost $500.00. He didn't buy them - a wealthy friend of his owns an audio/video store. these things are about 1" in diameter each, oxygen free, blah, blah, blah, blah..
And i don't notice a bit of difference between those and my $20.00 monster cables. I just don't. Maybe its because im not an audiophile.
Be glad. Comcast makes @home, at their worst, look good.
Limited NNTP Service. They dislike it when you run servers. They really dislike it when you have a NAT. Their mail service is pretty unreliable, sometimes working fine but sometimes taking hours to send or recieve a message.
They won't even talk to you if you dont have their software installed.
one of my calls with them went like so:
"Whats your mailserver address?" "Install our software and it will set all that up for you, in addition make some highly technical changes to your system to improve the performance of our software" "is that what i asked you?" "Its all we can tell you."
I explained to them that I am the only person i want making changes to my system.. as i was irritated.
Ugh.. i want an ISP with a clue. I'll get DSL once i find a new job. anyone know where i can find a new job?
Maybe i'll start my own ISP.. with a advanced support option over the phone that says "If you have a clue, press the digit corresponding to the difference of the number of layers in the OSI Model and the DOD model. Otherwise, press one to speak to our customer support center."
Comcast's local support number actually has the audacity to state: "If you have not installed the comcast software press 1. If you have installed the software, press 2."
If you press one, it says "Please install the software, downloadable from www.comcast.net/connectioncenter/, and call back *hangup*".
amazing. You pointed out that someone might - just might - be breaking the law on slashdot, and you were moderated UP. There's a lot more ambiguity to this one than Slashdot's normal game of "States rule posession of $questoinable-software illegal - get your copy here.", so i guess its neccesary to question...
Actually.. My uncle, who is a VP For Warner Brothers, says it -is- the same. But he's on the road a lot and works out of a home office when not on the road. So it's likely he doesn't have the most ideal setup.
I have a lot of free time. I won't remember typing any of this tomorrow.
You know, i've tried to give up on slashdot many times before, but its so easy to be baited back into a debate here. Being me on slashdot is like being a masochistic atheist who regularly attends a baptist church. I don't have anything against linux or freebsd, really... they have their uses.. but its their fan clubs i have a problem with:)
Actually, the slashdot system, like any other system run by a human being, is corrupt.. look up $rtbl's, modbombing, etc.
IMHO, it's much better to mod UP intelligent comments than mod DOWN the endless stream of idiotic drivel that goes on here. It's easier to seperate the wheat from the chaff than the chaff from the wheat.
