You are so deprived. The one Clear Channel station with a soul is in my market (100.5 WTFX-Louisvile, KY WARNING--Not work safe, they have a Thong of the day). Yes the Early 90's derivatives make up a portion of their playlist, but they cover everything from Sabbath and Zeplin to hair bands to grunge and on to todays bands, plus they have a kick ass lineup on Sunday nights, 2 hours of local acts and 1 hour of material that will never get rotation (Industrial, grindcore, ska, new death, etc). Between them and the college station at WKU, I actually get some kick-ass radio.
Bzzt, wrong, Ms. Rosen is more in line with them democrats^WHollywood Liberals than the GOP. Check out this data from opensecrets.org to see who the real enemy is. Its the liberals who really want to strip you of your money and freedom, the Constitution could give a rats ass about your DVD collection or your religon, we just need lawmakers that follow it.
What about the thousands of users who download/instal Apache/mod_ssl as part of their software distro. Can apache trust redhat to sign "Apache" certs, can they trust Theo and the OpenBSD team, how about my tiny distro that only me and my friends use? If apache can issue certs, why can't the THTTPd team (probably never heard of them, google for it if you like rants about web server performce/features trade-offs) or Sun/Enterprise?
lag, when he left he might have gotten a 33.6 connection, or gasp, 5MB ethernet at work/university systems. Even crap IDSL is 5 times faster than the home connection he could have got in 1995.
People forget that they also made inroads to PowerPC at the time that Apple switched over from the 68x00. NT 3 on Power PC was a flop and Apple had a bad bout of stability/performance issues for a long time and lost tons of software vendors with the switch. They learned a very important lesson at that time about making major architectural changes to their crown jewels, don't do it, no matter the advantadges. OS/2 is now 10 years old in released form and the general public is just now moving to its decendents (OS/2|NT3 -> NT4 -> 2000 ->XP) after they finnally convinced/bought enough ISVs, made good compatability tools, and waited for processors to be able to emulate the old without visable performace degredation.
and the Bush Administration will read the constitution ...and Presidential perjury is grounds for impeachment but not removal. Cute but the Clintonistas are far from snowy white on the whole "Constitutiona Evasion 101" exam. Don't even start with Al, I only want to count some of the votes, Gore.
If they are Republican/independent/other, point out this
page on
opensecrets.org. The jist of it is that the entertainment industry dropped 84% of their funding to Democrats for the last election cycle. The enemy is large, slow, and easily defined here, you just need to point the ones with the guns in the general direction of their enemies. If you support the repeal of this measure and others, vote and fund a less braindead canidate, regardless of affiliation.
We are customers, of Abit and Dell. Call them and complain, tell them you won't buy TCPA hardware, they can use that feedback to tell Phenoix and AMI to stuff their TCPA hardware. As much as we think Dell would die without Microsoft, it works the other way as well. Microsoft needs (relatively) cheap hardware to spread to every home, just the same as Dell needs a easy to use OS for the masses. Frankly, quit bitching and get to work if you want to bring about change. Vote and buy based on what you believe, support projects with others who seek the same goals as you and eventually someone might quit making bone-headed decisiions.
Been a while since my "cellular technologies" indoctrination that I had when I started at Blue.net, subsidiary of Bluegrass Cellular, so yeah my numbers could be bad, but there were signifigant differences in wattage between digital and analog phones.
Thank $DEITY someone finally mentioned Mr. Joy. Even though he works for a company (Sun) that we have a serious love-hate relationship with (Who wouldn't want a Fire 15000 to play with?), he still helped lay the foundation for Unix as we know it along with the rest of the CSRG group.
Analog phones are typically 1.5-5 watt transmitters, digital phones run anywhere from.6-1.5 watts. So the egg frying is actually worse on analog (Both penetrate your skull pretty easily) So if you want range or your provider has long distances betwwen towers, analog is the way to go. But if you want features beyond basic voice mail, time to move to digital.
I was just saying he can afford to drink like a gentleman as opposed to my drinking like a broke ass college student most of the time. As for beer choice, its usually whats on special, disregarding Natty, Busch or Beast. A-B products are usually the most common "specials" Dollar longnecks, etc so thats what I'm stuck drinking. Now for special occasions I'll break out some 7 year beam, makers, or George Dickle TN Whiskey (Try it, its better than Jack, cheaper too), but most nights I'm drinking wattered down domestics.
Trust me it is, I have taken an ASE mechcanic practice exam (My cousin is a now a master mechcanic, it was his practice test). I'm pretty handy around a shop, but you really have to do the job day in/day out to get a grasp on it. Of course thats why he makes $5k more than me, your lowly sysadmin/web monkey. The kicker is, he has 2 year degree as opposed to my 4 year BS that I am not using (Biology). He chuckles everytime we go to the bar and he's ordering wild turkey and I'm drinking Bud Light.
To each his own, but short of roads, schools, and defense, where else is the gov effective, and edu is questionable? Socialized medicine is a joke in the countries that the US touts as examples (France and Canada), the FCC has been shown multiple times to be too easily influenced by money from Hollywood liberals^Wmedia, and god help the various programs that stem from the New Deal and Great Society.
I don't fault FDR so much as there were so many unemployed, that the gov't was able complete some massive infrastructure projects (TVA, roads, dams, national parks) cheaply, which in turn made america able to step into the role of a superpower at the end of WWII, but LBJ and his Great Society, which was a great, utopian idea, doesn't work well. The liberals have promised from 1964 on to strip the "rich" of their money and redistrbute to those in "need". While the conservatives have preached a general lowering of taxation on everyone, as tax recipts climb as the economy prospers, as evidenced by the Regan Boom and the stoppage of the Clinton tax-and-spend after the '94 congressional elections.
Lord knows there are evil corps out there, but that doesn't make all companies guilty of strip mine and burn operations slowly turning the world into a uninhabitable cesspool.
We are straying OT and into a rant here but I tend to prefer quality services out of pocket than piss-poor service from the gov't
Just to let you know, most of the federal tax dollar goes to paying interest on the national debt and transfer payments to welfare, foodstamps, medicaid, medicare, unemployment, and Social Security, all the services that actually go to society at large, roads, defense, NASA, etc are constrained to a tiny slice of the fed budget compared to what social programs (and paying for them when the revenue wasn't there) does.
Please elaborate, if I pay x% and you pay x% and microsoft and oracle pay y% each, no loop-holes, no deductions, no BS wouldn't that be the fairest system, plus we could cut out one of the most boneheaded decisions of the 20th century, the progressive income tax. We should not punish success in this country.
Yeah, but we're normally too busy to actually post, see we have jobs, you get up in the morning, come in, lunch, leave, and sleep. Do that for 10 out of 14 days and they cut us a pay-check, which we use to buy goods and services.
Its at the Museum, but the option means that the Bastard Chevy dealer in Cave City gets the sale, which they have screwed me twice in 7 years since I got my License, both in service and sales. But the Corvette plant is cool to go through, and the new Caddy sportster should have started its line by now.
Louisville slugger plant if you are a baseball fan, Corvette plant if you like cars, and the distillery's if you are an alcoholic. If you wait till spring you can catch the horse farms/Keeneland around Lexington.
I had a coworker (Vietnam Vet) describe what is now known as a Daisy Cutter (15000 Pound Conventional, formerly known as Commando Vault) blast. By his estimation he was at a range of 5-8 miles from the drop point and just happened to see a section of jungle go up in a very distrinctive, loud blast from his position in a small village. He always thought it was the most terrifying thing actually used in the air war, becuase unlike any of the attack aircraft or heavy bombers, you didn't see the contrails or hear the jets, your position could just all of a sudden detonate, without a single peep from the attacker, kind of a mass destruction ambush.
1993 was the last year of the monster 1500+ I think, Sears decided it wasn't paying off, so they canceled the monster catalog. RR Donneley and Sons (The company dad works for) shut down their monster Chicago plant because of that lost contract essentially. Sears still has a toy catalog, but it is about the size of a women's magazine (Oprah, Cosmo, Redbook) in page count, and uses super glossy/UV stock instead of the "a grade higher than newsprint" stuff they used too. I laugh every time I hear "Dead Tree Publishing is going the way of the DoDo" It wont happen until A) Everyone has Inet access in the home and B) people get used to squinting at an Ebook on a handheld, which will never happen.
A company T-Shirt, that has to be ordered (Sorry, we didn't order enough 2XL's was the HR persons repsonse, I personally think it costs more for 2X so they're going to order them when the get hard numbers, cheap bastards) and a $20 gift card to a local supermarket.
I'll gamble that the VP's, got a sizeable ($1000+) bonus like they did last year. We're a small business so it goes Pres -> VP IT/Telecom -> Manager IT -> Sysadmin (Me). I asked my boss if he got a cut of this silly bonus policy to which he replied I wish. I did some envelope calculations based on our price - (bandwidth costs + staff + Equipment) and there was nearly 1 million in profit last year, for our pissant ISP business (< 50000 customers), I wonder what the Cellular side looks like, probably much better though.

I'd kill for a Naobel Peace Prize
Jimmy Carter has beat you to it, just wait until Kim Jong Il decideds to drop missles on downtown Seoul and Tokyo

It is not Ham or any pork product, SPAM is an acronym for Squirrels, Possums, and Mice, 2 rodents and a marsupial, not a swine in the lot of them.
