Jaschan: You can't handle the truth! Old man, we live in a world that has firewalls. And those firewalls have to be setup by men with MCSEs. Who's gonna do it? You? You, Mr. Ballmer?
I have a greater responsibility than you can possibly fathom. You weep for Windows XP and you curse Microsoft. You have that luxury. You have the luxury of not knowing what I know: that Windows XP has faults, while tragic, probably saved jobs. And my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, saves jobs...
You don't want the truth. Because deep down, in places you don't talk about at LAN parties, you want me on hacking that firewall. You need me finding exploits in that firewall. We use words like reboot, blue screen, exploits, Microsoft...we use these words as the backbone to a life spent hacking something. You use 'em as a punchline.
I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the blanket of the very exploits I find, then questions the manner in which I exploit it!
I'd rather you just said thank you and went on your way. Otherwise, I suggest you pick up a real firewall and configure it. Either way, I don't give a damn what you think you're entitled to!
Prosecutor: Did you write the Sasser worm?
Jaschan: (quietly) I did the job you sent me to do.
In the six years, they've only upped the prices a couple times...compared with our local Comcast which changes a couple times a year it seems. In fact, last week I got a notice for rate changes from Comcast but fortunately it doesn't affect the cable modem which is all I get from them.
As for weather, I live in the midwest and a couple times a summer I get rain fade. Actually it is a good predictor of weather, becuase it will fade before the storm hits. And when it does lose the signal, you know you are in for a heck of a storm. I will say that it is a lot more reliable than cable ever was.
Combined with Tivo..whether a standalone (which is what I have because DirecTV doesn't have our locals yet) or the integrated one, it is a nice combination to have.
Pixelation does occur...it is very noticeable in scenes of fog and smoke. But all in all it is a decent picture that always put the analog cable picture quality to shame.
This is cool news, and definitely a step in the right direction.
Their ZENworks package already relies on Linux to support workstation imaging. You can create boot disks/CDs to install the support partition on the client PC for imaging operations.
Parts of ZENworks are written in Java (actually runs under a virtual machine on the Netware box), so moving them to Linux would probably be fairly trivial as well. Looks like they made a couple good choices back then that will pay off in the future.
It was also pointed out that even though the G5 competes with the Xeon on standardized industry benchmarks, the new G5 models pull ahead on the new Debauchery Benchmark Testing Suite from Slime Studios.
The G5 can eliminate stretch marks, tatoos, and colorize bleached hair at 300 jpegs a second, trouncing the Xeon. It also does breast enlargements at 60 fps, turning the average porn actress from a molehill into a mountain.
The reverse-pixalation test measures the ability of the G5 to restore pubic regions altered from Japanese origin back to an unadulterated state at over 670 jpegs a minute using the Altivec instructions. This is over a 4x increase over the Xeon.
This is exciting news for armchair porn producers looking to get their products out sooner.
iPirate is the new DVD ripper tool included in Panther. iPirate seemlessly rips DVDs and sends them to friends and family where they can re-burn the ripped version. iPirate should not be used on copyrighted movies, only homemade videos.
iPirate also comes bundled with iLawyer. It is projected legal questions will cost 99 cents each or you can place iLawyer on retainer for $9.99.
$7 Liquor bottles featuring HP inkjet technology. Cannot consume liquor and fill bottle back up with 3rd party tap water, the bottle will still register empty. Attempts to reset liquor usage on said bottle will be a DMCA violation
Although this comes from the WWN, it was also noted that in the year 2256 the Chicago Cubs still haven't won a World Series and Dick Clark is still alive.
Those two items give the story some credence.

This happened about 2 weeks ago.
Our internal email in our office scans incoming and outgoing mail for viruses, spam, etc. Some spam slips through. In this case it was one of the numerous increase penile length spams.
When an email that is sent out and is blocked for some reason we are automatically notified. In this case someone forwarded the penile lotion lengther spam back to his home account so presumably he could read it later at home and perhaps try the product. This time it actually caught the spam going out when he tried forwarding it.
This "someone" was the president of our company. So far he hasn't asked us why the email he forwarded didn't go through. Of course we'll know if he eventually got it to go through when he starts wearing a loin cloth to work.
I just added 3 inches to a part of my body, refinanced my mortgage for 4%, took care of my baldness, and made thousands thanks to a giving man in Zimbabwe.
Step 1: Ask passenger if they are feeling bad. If reply is "Yes," proceed to step 2. Otherwise, pat them on the head and give them a bag of pretzels.
Step 2: Place back of hand on forehead. Does it feel warm? If so, go to step 3.
Step 3: To take a more accurate temperature reading, the use of a rectal thermometer is recommended. Tell the passenger to "assume the position". If the passenger is flying coach, they may need to have this position explained to them. If the passenger is flying first class, they will understand right away since they bent over when they bought their tickets for this flight.
Step 4: Was temperature reading above 98.6 F? If so, send passenger back to their seat. If not, go to step 5.
Step 5: Evidence suggests that passenger is dead. Tell pilot to land plane immediately.
I always thought of the way mod chips being presented as merely backup tools was akin to vibrators being advertised as muscle massagers. The more "wholesome" use is the one printed on the box.
But with that said, making backups is important. Especially with kids. Although I preach til I'm blue in the face to my kids on keeping care of their CD's, they never fail to get scratched a little. I've been lucky so far that they haven't completely ruined a CD yet, but I imagine it will happen sometime.

I've had DirecTV for probably 6 years now.
