    Read the post stupid...it's addressed to anonymous coward. I didn't tell you and your anonymous buddies to make a choice to do anything, I said quit hiding and speak out with your identities. If I was to tell you to do anything, it would be to go fuck yourself, whatever your stance is.

    Yes, words of a true anonymous coward. Weather you support it or not, have the balls to stand up.

  3. Lending to others on Slashback: Intuit, Telemetry, Meetup · · Score: 2, Funny

    Read the fine print on their site...you can let as many people as you want use the software and file electronically, problem is, they are now saying you can only install it once on the same machine without getting them involved. This reminds me of the first and only copy of Mathematica i bought back when it was version 3. After trying to reinstall it on my same machine with a new mobo, i was told to contact customer no-service. In speaking with the tard at Wolfram, I actually had to FAX, that's right, FAX a my license agreement to them to get them to verify that I was not cheating the system. Needless to say, I fax a copy of the license with my middle finger to the side, and wrote on it "This is the last copy of your software I will buy"...and it has been to this day :)

    Here's a quick way around that....change the friggin file extensions. Go ahead, index my entire fs. Like the RIAA could ever have the capacity to store that much crap from a nasty windows install

  9. Other Monopoly Service Providers on Cable TV A La Carte Part 2 · · Score: 1

    This scenario reminds much of what other monopoly "service" providers are trying to move to...packages of a product with other shit I don't need. My local phone company, offers a "package" that gives you every possible feature under the sun: callerID, waiting, forwarding, blah, blah, blah, all for $35.95 a month.

    I don't need a landline phone but for peace of mind emergency 911 service, plus I don't want a listed number. That is all I need. No long-distance, on local-toll, no callerID, no insurance crap...total cost $32.95

    A difference of 3 dollars...yet if I were to just order a feature, say caller ID, it would cost me $42.99 a month.

    Even the customer no-service guy on the other end laughed. De-regulation, aint it grand.

  11. Re:Using PHP on a professional site on Professional PHP4 · · Score: 2, Insightful

    And why do you think Java/J2EE is the best choice for an "enterprise" solution? The best choice has nothing to do with the language...it has everything to do with how the compiler/interpreter is implemented and what your developers are comfortable with...oh, and a word on portability, it is a pipedream for any application that is built for an "enterprise".

    Without a doubt...the donkey in the whole situation in this system are the providers, cutting to many corners to put a shitty infrastructure to too many users. If you scale your services, they will come (tm)

    They don't seem to charge me extra for watching HBO for a 1/2 a day, or for 24 hours straight. Sounds like an infrastructure problem.

    Got one better for you...I installed via ftp over modem, made the mistake of selecting x-user distro, and having connection drop in the middle, never to return :) Ended up in a foobar state, started over the following evening this time with a watch. With my 56k modem in hand, I was able to install just the bin dist in just 7 hours.

    Warping back to the future from 1997, My how times have changed...this weekend I cvsup entire tree stable and current, d/l the 4.7-PR iso's, and downloaded all of current packages (that's +4 Gigs alone) to burn to a dvd-r...and this was just saturday morning. Just in time for football.

    Without a doubt. Pricing is for even fractional T1 in my area is crazy. There is a $600 month state fee/tax/bullshit. Every friggin month.

    At least cable in my area claims to have "business class" services, but the cost for same up/down speed as home user with a single static ip is $250 a month....while home user cost is $44.95 (not including all f.u. tax/fees)
