Years ago (probably five or six), I was trying to get a NIC to work on my first try at Linux. I had tried everything in the FAQs and was at wits end when I noticed your name and email address in the distro somewhere having to do with network drivers. Out of desperation I sent an email to *gasp* "The Person Who Wrote the Driver", not really expecting a response. Imagine my surprise, as over the next few days you took the time to guide me through the correct process with several emails
Are you still able to find the time to help those in need on a personal level?
What drives you to spend so much of your time doing things for which you receive little or no monetary compensation?
Please note that I do not think that the above is wrong, I just would like to know if we could bottle that driving force and spread it around.

Is it that hard?
And this my friends is the attitude keeping Linux from wider acceptance......
For lack of anything better to do I am going to bookmark this so when a nuke pops off in the US I can come back and tell you how fucking stupid you are.
You are so misguided. I am sorry I asked, for I could have guessed that your responses would merely be a repetition of liberal talking points. Please try to be an original person and not merely a repeater of uninformed lies.
You do realize that as country we *are* different? The US has done things and made choices that make her different that say Germany or Iraq. There is no equivalancy between us and Iraq, none!
, if train companies can make carriges that block mobile phone signales
When blocking mobile phone signals they are usually just transmitting a signal on the same frequency at a higher amplitude than the phone. Not a good method if the airplane needs to use the same frequency for a few, ummmmm.... important things.
When you make me exceed my normal password capacity then I'm going to use stupid things like "Abcdef1".
That is exactly what I started doing at work when then got really stupid with the multitude of systems, each having different password rules, longevity, etc.
My password everywhere on their system is now 23456789 because I figure the real reason they have made the damn password rules so hard is so the admins can say "I made the rules difficult so it's not my fault that someone got cracked". It is all just a huge ass-covering exercise that I refuse to participate in.
It appears that we are somewhat (mostly) in agreement- I too am extrememly bothered that parents don't properly control their kids. Problem is that I also get irratated when someone paints all children or all parents with a broad brush.
My wife and I have expended extraordinary amounts of effort in teaching our kids consideration for others and really wish that folks would focus on the positive kids out there instead of giving the brat kids the attention they crave.
Liberals do tend to attack the person when they are unable to justify there flawed beliefs.
As I sense that since you are not only attempting to belittle Rand (understandable but sad given that you have never read enough to understand more than what your profs poured into your head) but also me, I will take your leave.
Every discussion I have ever gotten into with a bleeding heart ends with the subtle suggestion that if I were only as smart, enlightened, educated, etc. as them that I would surely understand.
Did you say you have read them or are familiar? If the latter does that mean that your professor railed against her ideas so therefore you find them without value?
I get a huge kick out of people who dismiss her work out of hand while being afraid to read her books.
I'm from Delaware so I have to agree that the incentive to incorporate there is why they all do. The down side to that is individual's income taxes are burdensome. But the net is a gain, since without those corporate taxes, Delawareans would certainly be paying higher taxes.
Considering how shamelessly corps....
Huge difference in philosophy that you and I are not going to resolve on./ but I do wish that you would read the book I recommended. It might just change your mind about "shameless corps". Considering the fact that you owe your current standard of living to these "shameless corps" that you deride, I must say that your hypocrisy is astounding.
No, but they are being forced (not a gunpoint but lawsuit-point by the state which means at gunpoint) to stay and be a tax slave.
There are a lot of very old companies in the 'Empire State' that were setup when then tax burden wasn't so heavy. Now that things have changed they wish to exercise their American right of choosing to relocate in a state that doesn't steal from the achievers to give to the losers, all to buy their votes.
While you may disagree with my philosophy about achievement and rights (see Atlas Shrugged you cannot fail to see the problems when a state uses force to keep a company from exercising their right to move their company elsewhere.
Isn't New York suing companies that are trying to leave NY and incorporate elsewhere to escape the high tax burden?
I cannot find the news story about this but I remember quite well thinking that no company in their right mind (unless bribed by $200M) would locate in a state that tries to sue you when you wish to leave and cease being a tax slave.

Sheesh, talk about sheep...
Old industry adage...
You just managed to take up numerous pixels and say absolutely nothing. I thought I heard a blonde-like tee-hee after your comments.

Peace...

Aren't ya' glad your parents decided to "spawn"?
I tried to IM ActiveBuddy but their bot kept replying: "Fuck Off! I'm on break!"
Did they teach you *anything* about the constitution?

You are pitiful.
BTW, if you think Rand is all about Capitalism perhaps you should read the book I recommended.
