. . . on/. wasn't able to find another service provider that would give them free email, free webspace, and customized content for free and that would also promise to hold any information about them sacrosanct. Imagine that.
I never disinfect my computer area and I only get sick about once a year. So BFD.
Yeah, 'cuz you've built up immunity to your own cooties. But heaven help anyone else who touches your keyboard. Wait--we can call it a security feature!
You don't need to be a Kreskin to predict *BSD's future. The hand writing is on the wall: *BSD faces a bleak future. In fact there won't be any future at all for *BSD because *BSD is dying. Things are looking very bad for *BSD. As many of us are already aware, *BSD continues to lose market share. Red ink flows like a river of blood. FreeBSD is the most endangered of them all, having lost 93% of its core developers.
You're right, even though you posted a pitiful attempt at parody. Why are my tax dollars being wasted on proprietary stuff like HP-UX when they could be running BSD or Linux for free?
That's true. It won't protect you from the CIA and the NSA or any other member of @tla. But then, if they care about you, they'll spend whatever it takes, or just use Van Eck or torture you for the information.
What overwriting 35 times with pseudorandom data does do is make your computer pretty much invulnerable to the ex-cop who "learned computers" that'll run Encase over an image of your disk if Scientology decides to sue you.
Well, that just about sucks. Of course, I guess those supervising the call centers aren't exactly brain trusts. But that does leave O'Reilly Safari, or Usenet (I know, I know), or other technical reading.
With all due respect, perhaps if you don't want to work in a call center for the rest of your natural life, you might spend that time bettering yourself in some way rather than playing games.
About as many as he can present until the 2004 election, I imagine. But unless Bush really botches the "war," he's probably a shoo-in to get elected. (Note, I said "elected," not "re-elected.")

And I think you meant to use ==, unless your intention was to assign COMEDY KING to me.
. . . that *BSD is dying. BTW, f-ir-st!

1. Create "content." 2. Antogonize customers. 3. ???? 4. Profit

Thank you. I'll be here all week.
Perhaps he should have said "replace" the stylus before wiping.
You mean BMW is supporting shared disk space for MP3's and warez now?
Fair enough . . . and when those HP boxes were bought, there probably was no Linux yet.

Unless the SUV is free, they would be subject to the lemon law with this example whether the blueprints were made available or not.

What does Marcellus look like?
A second monitor has alleviated the need for virtual desktops for me. And Macs do this even better than Windows machines--or at least they used to.

You didn't cheat in the intro class, did you?
