I used to take apart my GI Joes. Remember that one phillips screw in their back? Well I would pretend that a Mad Scientist had swapped their body parts. I was the only kid on my block to have a demasked Ninja. In retrospect, I probly coulda made more of the Ninjas and sold them at school.
So whose head do you want on there? Deep 6 or Clutch?

Interesting thought. Try doing some research on the balloons the Japanese used to bomb the west coast during WWII. I hear they thought up an ingenious way to keep em aloft. Something to do with the air inside the balloon heating up during the day, causes balloon to rise, then it would slowly sink at night, wash rinse repeat until target aquired. Some were effective, though to my knowledge there were no casualties from these balloons, nor was there much damage to property. But I think you could use something similar for your project.
I agree with Parent post. This is a colossal hoax perpetrated by Plato. I can see him laughing his ass off right now with P.T. Barnum telling Mr. Barnum, "You were right, there is one born every minute."
Before the flames roll in I know he never actually said that. BR>Having said that, a real quote from Mr. Barnum.
well ted, you may be one of the few admins who actually protect their system with regular scans and patches. Most write out their security guidlines, then file the guidlines in a folder never to be seen again.
Use this line garuanteed to work, "Honey I love you, but you have to go!"
Seriously though, I have dealt with this issue for 9 years both in the console area and online. The thing I have found, is that you can talk to her and play. You know those times, where you are waiting for that last guy so you can load out and start the game. Well 5 or 10 minutes of uninterupted her time (by listening to her intently I mean) will do wonders. Also a few nights or a week off spent with her is sure to score you some heavy quality game time later on. I also make it a point to take my wife out at least 3 times a month. With one of those times bieng a coat and tie affair. This has kept my ass from getting fragged IRL.
A relationship is much more difficult than a game. There isn't a reset button and god knows I haven't found any cheat codes yet!
I started late, in learning to program. Actually I started learning over 5 years ago, but for some reason I just couldn't wrap my head around certain aspects. Then I happened upon HLA by Randall Hyde Pierce. You may try that Higher Level Assembly I found his white paper ( The art of assembly ) to be what turned me around, and flipped my eureka switch.
Or you could try to teach her perl. Another good one is C++, though I am having some difficulty mastering it, the more I try the easier it gets. Try NeHe.GameDev.net for some excellent C++ graphic tutorial programming. Perhaps you could get her interested in writing screensavers.
I was under the impression that you use satelite fo rdownload, but were still locked into an analog phone modem for upload. Though it was awhile back that I was looking at getting satelite, and I probably misinterpreted the explanaition.
There was a previous article pertaining to the Russian that had kiddie porn on his machine at work, because of spyware. Now before you mod this offtopic, the article touched briefly on Cyber law and mentioned something similar, wherein in New York it is legal to piggy back on a wifi signal not belonging to you, as long as the owner doesn't expressly tell you not to. Though in your case your ISP could argue that you are violating their TOS. IMHO, you should be free to view, listen, play, whatever you like in cyber space as long as you don't break any federal local state or international laws.
If this is the case, then why do we, as SysAdmins, have to patch Windows machines at least twice a month. Completely disregarding the fact of weekly anti virus updates for Windows work stations.
Go cry to someone other than me. There are only more trojans for Windows than I have hair on my head.:P
Be glad it didn't fry your hardware, or make you download kiddie porn, or make you DoS SCO, or the FBI. Be glad I tell you, and beware that free software ye be tryin to get matie.
BTW knowing the history between Gates and Jobs, what in the hell made you think M$ would release something for the OS/x platform? Is your BIOS fried?
I have seen video of these suits in action, not against bears mind you, but the guy wore it and let a pickup truck hit him at like 35 mph. He got up and did it again.
To those of you who think the military or police departments would use this like the guy had hoped, forget it. It has one flaw, the suit is so heavy that if you fell you would not be able to get back up without assistance. Seeing as how the thing is wrought with blind spots, it would render it useless for the military or law enforcement.
Does this mean if i go to Home Depot and buy some pipe to fix a plumbing leak and wires to fix a ceiling fan one weekend, ill be investigated for trying to build a bomb?
Seems to me if you were forced to purchase a copy of Windows, though you specifically requested a Linux OS.
I ask you, "who is the pirate here?"
If a car dealership sells you an automobile, and charges you for an option that you didn't ask for that is illegal. Why is the same not true in this case.
Should M$ allow pirates access to Windows Updates? Well this is a loaded question. On the one hand, one could contend that they should be allowed access to protect the rest of the net like the article says. However, if the rest of the net is already updated, then why is there a need? On the other hand, and this is where my opinion lies, M$ will probably let pirates get updates that contains code to diable or even track them without their knowledge. It would seem to me that they would benifit from this, by "getting to know their enemies". Remeber the old adage keep your friends close and your enemies closer. As a pirate Windows user myself, I have never had problems getting updates, though I still use 98SE. (I refuse to use anything else due to the liscening).
Computing today no longer requires you to use Windows. I use Windows for playing games only. Surfing the net, hacking code, doing essays/reports I do all in my favourite *nix flavour.
The average home user has a choice now, as do the pirates. Give your money to the giant conglomorate, or support the open source community and purchase a linux distro.
I'm happy to say that the linux community will be getting my hard earned money.
you can cut yourself shaving tehn hop in the shower, and get a stapf infection from closing the curtain. /me wonders who he can sue for this outrage
With the advent of anti-bacterial soap, hand sanitizer, etc, etc we are paving the way for our childrens immune systems to be non existent. Enter bubbleco perveyors of sterile bubble environments since 2004.
I was under the impression that bacteria and germs weren't so much bad. Hell how long have people survived without Penecillin and hand sanitizer, or that Lysol that kills 99.9% of bacteria and germs.
I myself refuse to use nor will I allow the use of any of these anti-bacterial cleansers, for fear that by having an environment 99.9% germ free will somehow damage my daughters health.
The moment you are exposed to a germ your sicker than had you eaten rancid meat.
History is riddled with examples. I'm not saying you should stop cleaning your toilet, but regular cleaning with normal cleansers should be fine. Lest we not forget that our bodies have bacteria in them to begin with, saliva, stomach enzymes, god knows what lives in our ears (insert q-tip here) The point is we should not worry about killing 99.9% of germs, for it'll be that 0.1% that does our species in.
From the makers of VirtualValerie comes VirtualClinton. In this installement you are President Clinton.
Your goal is simple, bed as many interns as you can, without having Hillary or the American public find out. It's an all out oralfest! Remember oral is not sex.
So dust off that State of the Union Address, and grab a copy today. Be sure to try the NEW "I didn't inhale" expansion pack.
VirtualClinton and the I didn't inhale expansion pack are available at EB, BestBuy CompUSA and Toys R Us.
Makes sense. They bring in the cats to control the mice. If food is scarce, given the birth rate of cats, they could be used as a food source in times of crisis.
Ok he found this through "sophisticated sonar imaging" where are those images? Where is the raw data to support his claims? Didn't Plato also describe it as bieng half way round the world? Granted at that time the "known world" was much smaller, but still.
He may have found some sunken island, but Atlantis. Unless, could he have perhaps found the Stargate?
Seriously though. I think the closest we have gotten to finding this ficticious city, is the road in Bimini. That thing is just plain odd. BTW, beware of Aquaman!
I now hold the patent for holding ones breath. Anyone who holds her/his breath from today on, must pay me royalties or suffer lawsuit from patent infringement.
COme on people this patenting IP is getting ridiculous. Where will it end? Microsoft now has more money than the National deficit, so why not put a patent on everything. Green baby poo MS has the patent Wiping your butt front to back, or back to front MS holds the patent. Where will it stop?
The day may come where you pay MS not to use their OS, but to use your PC because you guessed it they hold the patent on the PC model. Has anyone patented the QWERTY layout? That would be an idea. %2f Insert evil laugh here %2f

I already have 3 pc's @home running Linux, SuSe, Debian, and just got Red Hat 9 last night. I'm just not sure which to put on a notebook.
Well you know the antitrust lawsuits they have, it is still cheaper for them to pay the fines, or drag the cases out in court.
If people want to stop Microsoft, THEN STOP PURCHASING THEIR PRODUCTS!
