  3. Do this and you will sleep on Sleeping Problems? · · Score: 1

    Skip breakfast have a cup of coffee. Eat a good lunch but don't stuff yourself. Drink 4-6 beers before attempting to eat any supper. Do not drink any hardliquers or wines in place of beers. Eat a healthy supper then laydown. You will sleep well.

    This will work, however it cannot be done every night you should be able to use this effectivly 2 mabe 3 times a week.

    Or if you can sleep hungry skip a day of eating every now and then.

  4. Re:I visited Sal's house.... on Sal Wise, Philly eBay Scammer Strikes Back! · · Score: 1


    That is not sal's house, anymore. According to the http://www.dyno-mite.com/ghoe/SalVidNBC10.rm local NBC10 report.

    The saddest/funniest part is that Sal continues his galavanting on the forum venting and makeing himself look more and more like what everyone already knows|suspects.

    Live on the thread/blog/forum Sal went from a self admitedly "dead" man who looked much like a very sketchy kid at best or a very effective con artist blameing first the mail, mail mixup, mailing address mixup(West Ave vs East Ave), check mixup.

    Then some one in the faimly had stole the mail and he didn't wish it to come to the eyes of the law so he was going to either do a good deed and pay justin to take his site down(read:restitution) or follow through with one of his very searious sounding threats of physical harm.

    Sal next names his father Sal Sr. as the perpetraitor. Sal Jr then emails justin the infamous:
    "Also dont be fooled by more emails by him because were ever he is he might try to email you but i allways will type to you with italic letters this way you know its me!Dont reply to this email just start a new reply this way he dont see i just wrote that to you!Email back asap so we can get the ball rolling and get my info off the internet and you can do whatever with his info that you want.I will give you date of birth ssn etc..if i dont hear from him!"

    Justin creates a forum and 1 user emailed a local Phily tv station on friday, by monday the forum was full of spectators commentators and wannabe PIs noteing sal's consistancys and inconsistancys(Mostly typeing patterns, common re-typed errors, spelling, and IQ) the TV station shows up at that address about noon and is on the phone with sal who had promised to meet them there, sal could not make it. And they also discover that sal has aparently not lived there for 3 months. Sal says he was wrongly evicted by his uncle vinnie because uncle vinnie owns the building but its not in vinnie's name so vinnie can avoid paying taxes; And the real "owner" of the land sent the eviction notice not vinnie. Vinnie says that Sal took him for "like thirteen thousand" in missing scooters and money Sal claimed to be selling via ebay. Users of the forum however have uncovered that Sal had actually told the Lexus owners club forum that the scooter shop is his. Sal then puts up his own site which doesn't help his position any IMO, really kinda added fuel to the fire. Thats about when the trolls and idiots started posting in the forums namecalling, morbid overuse of anal remarks, etc etc... but sal had politely warned everyone of this already so I guess he knows a thing or 2 about something. I'll make 2 perdictions: 1. Sal is lieing and will do very little time. Sal will change his story again before 1.

    You do it:
    • Here

    • In your emails to Justin as "Sal Sr"
    • In your emails to Justin as "Sal Jr"

    "I would use Gentoo, but I don't like being locked into specific compile-time flags. (Yes, I know I can change them, but why should I be bothered with that?)"

    Or you can ignore the fact that they exist and your binarys will be built with the default flags. Some packages ignore the gentoo set comile flags all on thier own. Sorry to bother you.

  9. Re:Very concerned on Redundant Internet Access? · · Score: 1
    1. How do you convince an ISP to bring a feed in from another CO? Distance is a huge problem--they don't want to run it.
    If you can, pressure them. If they can't do it I can't pay them for it and I will find some one else who can.(Don't let them know even if you can't) Or I'd let them know you have found a solution off site that meets your needs, you will no longer need their lines unless they can provide what your paying for.
    2. How do you know what the ISP has on their end, UPS's, generators, etc? Should that be part of the SLA? Or should you demand a tour of their facilities to see where your wire goes?
    I would demand that it be apart of the SLA so when you do go completly down your company can cease payments for downed times and posibly collect losses.
    3. How can you coordinate two seperate ISP's for automatic redundancy? I suppose with a LinkProof box or something. And how do you know they aren't coming through the same telco CO?
    When you find a way, let me know.
  10. It does and doesnt matter on Linux Distros for a Windows Software Developer? · · Score: 1

    Use any, but once you figure out what you are doing, switch to gentoo. Gentoo is source based. Its a good distro for both power users and upgrade addicts. BUT, if you don't like installs that give you lots of time to RTFM then try some of the newer distros, mabe gobo? Too many to name, if you have time I really think LFS is the best way to learn linux unless you have a mentor who knows everything from shell variables to session and window managers.

  14. What about the 5th? on U.S. Supreme Court: Public Anonymity No Right · · Score: 1

    I think the years has changed how we the people and the courts think. I also think that the 5th ammendment covers our identification if we believe it to be private. "nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation."

    The Police are public officials, and I think it suspect to deny identifying ones' self but that does not change the fact that the police can now go door to door asking names, arresting anyone who does not comply or has a warrent. I was arrested im my home for having less than 1 gram of marijuana. For the non-drug users, thats not enough for a roach much less a joint. The police lied to my wife while I was at work, told her they had a warrent, they didn't, she is not a lier/thief so she simply trusted the "Good Guys" gave them the bit of illigal substance we had and allowed them to search the house. I was called at work and told to come home to talk to the police. Both me and my wife were arrested.

    So now its a crime to falsely or not identify ones self, soon it will become a crime to not identify ones self before being asked.(I don't think the jews will like this.)

    The gentoo store's funds go directly to Daniel Robbins. This is planned to change as soon as drobbins has the not for profit org in place. Untill then your purchaces fund him directly not the gentoo project.
