Does anyone know if there's a nice replacement firmware for Speedtouch routers? I have an ST585 (my ISP gave it to when I signed up). The hardware quality seems quite good, and the router is very configurable, but the builtin web interface is truly a piece of shit. The only way to configure it properly is to use a telnet interface, which is incredibly complicated and enigmatic, as well as not being documented anywhere on the internet (I just about managed to get it to do what I wanted, function as a bridge so my machine has a dedicated IP address, but it was from instructions posted in a forum). I'd like a nice replacement firmware for that, with a nice web interface.
The first interview I stated out. "I don't want to insult you but please tell me some of the first things you would look at if an equijoin seemed to be taking longer then it should. After about three interviews I droped the "I don't want to insult you" part.
Congrats on having read the first paragraph of How To Win Friends And Influence People!
To my shock, I got an angry call from their HR department, who were actually calling to chew me out for applying even though I was "unqualified" for not having the required 6 years of experience.
WTF? This is so hard to believe it sounds like a lie. HR departments virtually never call up a candidate that they're not going to interview. If they're nice, they MIGHT send a rejection letter. Why would they get flustered at such a small issue?
If we had BOTH compulsory voting, AND a minimum qualification-to-vote test, we might be better off.
Not forgetting instant runoff voting when voting for one or a few people (ie. president), and proportional representation plurality voting when voting for a group of people (ie. senate, representatives).
What's your hook? Gambling? Booze? Whatever it is, if I know enough about you, then I can eventually make you do whatever I want.
I have no hook. I'm a devout Christian living in the US Midwest, who has a husband, 2 children (born after wedlock), and a couple of SUVs. I go to church every Sunday, think only clean thoughts, and have missionary-style sex only. I never looked at porn, and decry all the evil criminals and porno people out there. I'm a loyal Republican voter, and a proud US citizen. Our wars around the world are fully justified, and out government doesn't lie to us (much). I'm in support of the death penalty. I don't drink alcohol, and live only a clean, humble, and wholesome lifestyle, as do my family. My favourite drink is water, my favourite food is bread. I do not gamble.
My experience with Usenet was a bunch of people responding with PLONK, and usually an insulting message, if you said something that slightly offended them. Bunch of geeks with no social skills, in my experience. Good riddance.
OK, maybe the US is ass-backward compared to the rest of the mobile world, but it's still pretty damn cool to have an SSH session open while I'm on the train.
Yeah, but why do they design mobile phones so shittily? Isn't it a scam?
I could understand with the first generation, but by now, don'tcha think they ought to have figured out a way to get a waterproof seal over the battery when you close the lid??? I think it's pathetic.
Another couple of things they should do is send all data on port 443, and use the interlock protocol for key exchange. Much more difficult as they have to a) figure out that the traffic is not HTTPS and b) be an active participant in the MITM attack to be able to snoop on the communications.
I wonder what the possible effects of a coordinated disinformation attack of such nature would be, if it managed to deliver said news to a large segment of the world's population (that have access to email).
I don't know about you, but I take everything I receive by e-mail as the honest truth, and as far as I know, everyone else does too. Very dangerous.
Ya say that, but were most people in the US really starving to death before the US war of independence? That was a revolution of sorts. No, they were just pissed off.
But this doesn't give an ideal solution. What it does is give preference towards large groups that all feel the same way about a large number of topics.
WTF are we supposed to do? The ballot-box clearly doesn't matter. The soapbox is outright ignored. The jurybox is useless as long as checks-and-balances take a backseat to party politics. Breaking out the ammobox doesn't seem realistic when the vast majority of this country is content to cede their civil liberties as long as they have their iPods and the illusion of security from terrorists.

Sure it is. As long as that choice is the RIGHT choice. ;-)

Except at businesses where the employers actually have a clue. Then BSing can go against you. See The Daily WTF for examples.

Don't they have to advertise it with the same wage they would offer the internal employee? If not, doesn't it rather defeat the point of the thing?

Hey, if they can jail you for smoking a weed and affecting only yourself, or taking a pill and affecting only yourself, why not for taking a piccie?

Seriously... what the FUCK is tethering? I've never heard that term before. Is it an Appleism?

You were on a train in the US?!

Step in, religion.

The prayerbox?
That's why there're guns, remember? Don't worry, I'm sure there will be a mob sacking the Whitehouse in no time. Thank god for the 2nd amendment.
Would she have voted against it had she won the presidential nomination? Easier to ignore big lobbyists when you don't quite need that money/support.
Not quite necessarily... I mean there have been and are some genuinely democratic places in the world.
Cool, so you're gonna vote for John Jackson instead of Jack Johnson now? That'll punish em!!
At least utilize means something slightly different from use. Burglarize instead of burgle, on the other hand, is retarded.
