Mr. O'Connor, what you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.

Hey, Robert Ziegler, what about your book, based on the same subject matter? Five years ago I was looking to set up a 2.2 firewall for my home LAN. I came across your firewall tool. I thought it was great, and I wanted to learn more about what you had done with ipchains. So I bought your book after learning about it through your site - your site out of which you got nothing. I found it to be quite useful. Are you telling us that you made absolutely no money at all on that book? I bought one, didn't you get a portion of my $40?
Money aside, are you saying that you got nothing out of it? I found your book through your site. I read your book. Now I know your name. If someone's interested in learning about firewalls, I can say, "I have this great book by Robert Ziegler. You should check it out. The samples are based on the old ipchains tool, but many of the concepts he covers are worth reading." You're a published technical author. Is that worth nothing to you?
Frankly, Robert Ziegler, I'm disappointed in you. Not only did I use your site, but I never demanded any kind of support from you. Hell, I never even asked you. I just bought your book. Just because there were plenty of assholes that thought your website was an open invitation to burden you with their firewall problems does not mean that there weren't plenty more of us who treated you with respect, used your tool, and bought the book you were trying to sell. Don't forget it.

It was probably fall of 1997. I heard about MP3 and wanted to check it out. I did a web search, probably on Excite or WebCrawler. One of the first hits was for Rage Against the Coffee Machine, although it probably looked more like this. (Sorry, 1999 is the oldest archived page.)
I live near an international airport and an air force base. I also have an Athlon 1.2GHz with a Thermaltake Volcano 6. I think the computer is louder than the 747's and the DC-10's combined.
Just the opposite for me. I used to wake up at exactly the same time every day to my alarm. Never a problem. Now that I'm married, I sleep later and later and she has to drag me out of bed. I think it's because I have less responsibility in the morning. I used to have to get up, make the coffee, iron clothes, make lunch, etc. Now I just make coffee and hop in the shower. She irons and makes lunches and stuff. I'd offer to help, but why the hell would I want to do that?!
I have never met anybody else that used their Pitt ID as their ID on any other system. People ask me what the hell my userID is about and I explain. Your initals remind me of Enterprise Java Beans, for some odd reason.
What did you go to Pitt for? I've gotta say that I didn't find the Computer Engineering coursework to be too easy. It was quite hard, actually. Not because I can't grasp the concepts, but because at the time it was new to me and the professors were so goddamned awful that they might as well not have been there. I had a few good ones. Four, to be exact. Two from CS and two from EE. But the rest were, well, lousy. They were there to do research and they let you know it. You wanted help from them, TS. Teaching undergrads was their penance and they wanted no part of it.
If I hadn't co-opped, I would have been SOL. I'd have a degree but I'd feel lost and have no confidence in my education. If I were to do it over again, no way in hell would I consider that school.
Um, what would you lose by posting as yourself? Some of that Navrattan Korma stuff? I don't think that your friends and family will ostracise you for taking a karma hit on some website's message board.
I can see it now, on your judgement day...
"Karma: Good. Not Excellent. That's mostly affected by how your posts are moderated you know. Well, we're looking for candidates with Excellent Karma. Beelzebub, I'm sending another candidate over to your department!"
Now, go play with your homebrew PVR, while the rest of us uninformed people actually watch TV convieniently, without spending any extra time or money to do so in a "cool" fashion.
I'll second this, PVR Zealot. You go out and learn stuff while captain-lazoid here watches TV conveniently. Then be sure to shake your fist angrily as he gets promoted to head-PHB while you do enjoyable work.
Me? I'll be right behind you on the DIY projects for the sake of learning. Just let me finish bottling this homebrew Porter.
Not likely, since JDE was bought by Peoplesoft, then Oracle tried to blow the whole thing in a hostle takeover bid. Besides, whey would you want to play games in a crappy financial package. Oh, not that JDE...
You actually want to be referred to as "upper-class yuppy?" Let me guess, you and your spouse met at Starbucks. Not the same Starbucks. Different Starbucks, across the street from each other.

Text to Speech doesn't convert audio to text. That technology is called Automatic Speech Recognition.

Yeah. That's great. But a Maya Person is a Mayan. I'm not a Pennsylvania.

No. They're Canadians - just as marginal.

No you didn't. You conjured up a scene in your head in which you slapped him, but in reality you just stood there and let out a short fake laugh.
We all know that you're not that outward, as is evident by the fact that you read and post to slashdot. Anonymously.
By "Pay off in the long end," do you mean that I'll get to put it in her butt?
