  1. Re:Penny Arcade called it on Microsoft To Announce Jerry Seinfeld Ads Cancelled · · Score: 1

    Your not the only one who didn't think that Seinfeld was funny. I do think your on to something about about group think though. I had more than a few friends that would watch it every week but they never commented on how good the show was. I think they where just watching it because everyone else was and nobody was brave enough to say how bad the show really was.

    I can't stand Jerry Seinfeld in any format and I hated friends with a passion. Never understood the appeal of that shit. But I guess I'm strange. I thought and still think, the funniest show I've seen in a long time was "Dead Like Me."

    Not at all uncommon. I've got 3 fucking servers in my system room that nobody knows what they hell they are for. The are all running 2.4 kenels so they are as old as the fucking hills. Nobody knows what the passwds are to get into them so I can't log in and find out what they do. And naturally the previous systems administrator that installed them didn't document shit.

    The only thing that is known about them is they used to do something important just nobody remembers what it was. Management is to afraid that they might still be doing something important and won't let me yank them out to find out what they do. So while management sits there with their collective heads up their collective asses these three servers sit there taking up space in my racks on my network.

    When these thing do finally fall over I hope they are doing something important.

    I'll be voting "none of the above" (Libertarian, Green, or Constitution) this election, as I can't bring myself to vote for a candidate who is beholden to nobody but the corporations again.

    Damn straight. That is the way that I'm planning on voting. Ether Libertarian or Constitutional. I haven't made up my mind yet, I'll probably just flip a coin in the booth. I don't have any allusions that ether one of them have a chance in hell against Tweedledee or Tweedledumbass thought. Some might say you are just throwing away your vote by voting for a 3rd party but that isn't true. If enough people where to vote 3rd party and even though the party didn't win it will still send a message that most people are tired of this shit.

    Actually it's worse than that. XP is not really dead because most of the pirates are not going to bother to upgrade. If they can annoy enough people to actually go out and buy legal copies of windows then they can force these people to buy vista. Since XP is no longer being sold any more that is.

    A few years back the power company bought some right away to string some high tension lines through this farmers property. He had a shed that he used as a work stop and was lit by fluorescent lights. After the power company put up the lines at night the tubes would glow from the magnetic field. I guess it depended on the load on the lines but sometimes they would by dim and some times bright enough to work by at night. Damn eerie as hell is what is was.

  22. Re:Exemptions? on FTC Bans Prerecorded Telemarketing Drivel · · Score: 1

    Yeah, it exists, and you can build it yourself.

    Back when I actually had a hard line I would come in from work and there would 20 calls on my voice mail from bill collectors looking for the ex-Bitch. There would also be a dozen or so telemarketer calls. I had a big ass answering machine.

    I found a small shareware program on the net that would use the caller id information in my modem to route the call depending on one of three lists. A white list and the computer would ring, not the phone, and it would let the call through. The grey list and the computer wouldn't ring but would let the call through to let the machine get it. A black list and the computer would simplely lift the phone line, wait a second, then hang up.

    The black list could be summed up as "*". The white list had a few friends and family on it. It solved all my problems and it stayed that way for a year. Then I noticed that my phone never rang, and the answering machine never had any messages. But the hard line was busy all the time because I would hear the computer pick up and hang up click.

    Then I realized that everyone that I wanted to talk to had my cell phone and everyone that I didn't had my hard line. Fifteen minutes later and a phone call to the phone company that stopped being an issue. Safe to say that if you don't' hae my cell number I don't want to talk to you.

    While I agree there is something that seems wholesome and just plain right about a move back to a simpler and more purer form of internet. But with that being said not every machine that has net access needs or should have a public IP address.

    Right now in my home alone, right now around me, there are 4 machines with internet access. My sons computer, my computer, the htpc, and my pda. I don't want all these machines to have public IP address. I have one ip address assigned to a cheap ass router that handles all the translation.

    So instead of soaking up 4 ip address I use one, and one is all I need.
