Seems he died of burns from a heavy toasting on Slashdot. He was in the hospital for months and later developed an addiction to trolling posts on FARK and alt.sysadmin.recovery. Eventually someone used a major LART on him as a mercy killing. BTW, Seems he had your last name, maybe he was your brother??
And the moral of this story Kids is don't post on Slashdot from an AOL account.
if someone flames you online you should consider the response carefully and take your time. Get a beer and think up some good things to say.
Like about their Mother.
Babbling fools are everywhere. Online don't take them seriously. Show you have more class and drop them into your kill file (ignore list, not the other one like Nixon and Bush keep)
Like other little children they get bored and leave. Mock them if they use AOL as that's likely.
Not so fast there, the kicker is line of sight here. I rarely see mountains and trees sailing the high seas. Same goes for signal sources. You might see the occasional cruise ship with all hand to the cell phone but unlikely to be a long lived problem. As to the one Watt limit also not worth mentioning. This is as point to point connection.
Commercial Radio works off of higher wattage to cut thru the interferance. Like the station 600 miles out that the FCC in it's wisdom has chosen to assign the same freq.
Some ranges are far less nosiy like the ones the college radio stations use. often 90.3 FM. In Seattle we have a station (KCMU, now it's KEXP) that stared out using 5 watts. It could be heard in Olympia, WA over 65 miles away. Thats over the interferances from two major cities. Seattle and Tacoma with two airports in the way.
How about we want them to keep evolving toward a state where they need the antibiotics to survive only to pull the chair out from under them by withdrawing it later. Hmmm, there is a though, cure a disease by cutting off the cure. Man the Big Parma companies will just love that idea. They will send you to a Detox to clean out.
First off they are Japanese, so they eat things with Tentacles, you know -- Sushi. We eat Hotdogs, pickles, carrots, and other long things. Haven't you every played with your food????
If you can forget for a few minutes that it's a drawing, it's the best bang for your buck in Special Effects.
Japan being short on space can't really throw togeather resources like big studios. And if your market doesn't care why should you. Hong Kong had the Martial Arts traditions, lots of Jackie Chan and Jet Li types. It's cheap. Europe, has classy people like James Bond.
Here in the US we got more money then sense so we get Attack of the Colons. (not a typo, my colon twists up everytime that #2 is mentioned).
The only feature I like about you humans is that you do adapt very well. (a feature as in a bug for which documentation exists).
To have a more coordinated setup. I have lots of misgivings about just putting alpha code up on the web and claiming some victory.
It chases off professionals interested in real projects. 'Oh I don't want to get involved with that, there are 30 projects like it on Sourceforge.....'
Maybe my gripe it with how the opensource projects are handled.
Of course the ghost of your aunt Sophie's Budgee will tell his this ahead of time.
Seriously I wonder if Shanks/Jackson will be doing a ghost routine. After all he's sort of dead. He showed up once in season 6 as a 'spirit guide'. Did anyone else get serious vibes that the plot was spinning out of control?
I wonder how hard it would be to move it into earth orbit and get Soundgarden to get back togeather for one song - "Blackhole Sun" with a real blackhole in the background. Just like the video.
Sure it would be the end of history but it would be the biggest thing in Rock and Roll history. I think it's worth it.
Politics killed them, that and lawsuits over patents, copyrights, and anti-trust. I wonder if we could work the DMCA into it some where. Or we could just ask Strom Thurmond.

Congress is the worst abuser of NASA's budget. I don't see that changing as long as there is power to be had at the expense of the advancement of mankind.
Like it or not we are a growing sector of the labor business, you can see all the little tech colleges churning out the MCSE and Linuxdroids. Even now you will see them on TV making pitches about the high paying jobs in the tech sector,
"In just two years you can be well on your way to a life of wealth and fame. Blabalbal"
Not to mention the Big tech firms importing H1B visa slaves by the boatload and monster layoffs in Silicon Valley and it's little clones around North America. Shipping big but not complex programming projects off the Outer Mongolia and Elbonia
Tech firms pay big for good people, they always will, but case in point I worked at small tech firm a few years ago and the CTO used Taos, While they did have some clueful people they also had a practice of training losers to pass the Solaris and MS certs.
Sure they passed, but that's all they know. I expect newbies to be ignorant but eager. Certs are an instant sign marking them with a large L on their foreheads. These guys were just clowns.
I have proudly have no certs and a the height of the boom I was making $120k
If we are stuck with some form of Unions why not go back to the origins out situation is just like the days of Gutenberg, the printing press revolutionized the world, much like computers have now. There is still room to grow, but we need to cover are asses.
As a professional society we can have a voice and properly rank our members according to skill level. A tech manager who hires a guild journeyman would know that person is able to do certain things and have a resource of higher skilled people to call on.
If you can quantify how much your staff knows then you can make accurate plans. Beancounters hate it when you say
"Will it take long? - Hours? Days? Weeks?
Who knows?
Genius is mysterious." (Marcel Marceau as Professor Ping in Barbarella [1968] )
I doubt any of you haven't heard the referances to the "DUNE" Guilds about Third Stage Guild Navigators regarding Master Sysadmins and Coders. Why not make if formal?
So when exactly did Real.com go into biosciences? I understand Corporate Expansion into new areas but this is a bit of a strech isn't it???
Maybe it's like that Sounds of Math article You can listen to the sound that makes you, just don't take the ending that seriously
(Slaps head) Scratch that I forgot that they are the foremost makers of mindnumming and gut turning Adware^M^M^MSoftware. There you got mental AND gastric disorders.....
True, but if you keep that specific door open only for a short time and once a successful down load is complete it's closed again. It's all tied up in the configuration of your database and your load balancer.
1 - send company list of paid buyers by back channel like a direct T1 to server's Database
2 - Wait till someone uses the key
3 - Close tunnel after your done
once it's downloaded this part is done, if someone goes and puts it on Kazaa, that's another matter. Portsnifflers just don't seem like a good way to pirate software. Just wait a while, it may or may not show up on kazaa.
Honestly, it's a matter of what security you put into the install codes not what you do to protect the distribution. If you got good install protections then they just downloaded 200 megs of inert junk, that's a lot of time on a 56k modem....
Sig- Maybe we should rate article here on signal to noise ratio.
I worked for Releasenow.com, they were hired guns for this sort of thing back about 2000 or so, they seem to have dropped off the net since then. Other players like Digital River were around too. Not to hard to implement, Stick a few apache servers behind a load balancer like an F5 on a big pipe like Exodus and make them pay up front. once you got their money send them a url and password combo that lets them in. The rest is simple stuff. Remember to wash your hands after your done.
They did the same thing when slashdot and others tried the Refund trick a few years ago as documented in the fine film 'Revolution OS'. They had a table with free coffee and a banner that read 'Microsoft welcomes the Open Source community' (or some such thing). The Theory is very sound, if you duck an issue you get pissed off people, if you at least greet a attack with some grace it defuses the force of the argument. It's social aikido. You just can't punch out someone who offers you coffee....
Say it ain't so! It's not like they had someone switch from Linux. I wonder how much they would offer RMS to a "Switch to Whinedows XP" commercial? Might be worth it to fund GNU for the next century.
Wirecutters, you can reduce all sorts of bandwidth. Throttling just loses you customers who do want to grow.
Seriously, your a small outfit, if you meter the client's usage you can charge accordingly. Write it into the contract about how much you charge.
If you somehow get a spammer or a Warez site, they make themselves quite obvious if YOU AEW paying attention to bandwidth, have yourself paged when a user exceeds a certain amount and look at what they are doing.
If they got slashdotted, fine, but if your seeing a lot of SMTP going out or large files getting downloaded yank them quick. Upstream vendors don't care about what's coming into your sites, it's what's going out that they charge you on.
Conventions and Expos are a big time waste of effort. Linuxworld in SF was soooo boring. I stayed for two hours and tossed my ticket. Now if they have one somewhere cool like Hawaii or a small tropical island I am there! (well actually I will be on the beach.)
Word to the wise, whiteout your title, it will keep the vendors off you.
The hole is in a cloud layer, it's not a object. Winds and gravity will mix the ozone back into the hole, making the overall layer thinner but still there.
http://www.windpower.dk/tour/wres/coriolis.htm I wonder if the hole is something that is recurring rather then just an effect of pollution. maybe gravity thickens the layer around the equator leaving open patches at the poles. But it's safer to not be so messy with the planet.
Sure your cell info is linked to that passport account, but without additional data it's just noise without signal. They will know you check the cell phone info from this account, but do you use a computer for anything else? There is no social security number currently required, nor is there gonna be.
They want to draw up a comprehensive picture of your lifestyle for 'Marketing Purposes', but if the info is scattered amongst a dozen non-connected databases and usernames they have nothing useful.
Use one account for IM (personal), one for business (if your stupid), and another for hehmm 'FUN'. Passport is a phony ID scheme, anyone can create one and it means nothing. They will not be changing it anytime soon either, they can't.
