If you've got such a chip on your shoulder, it's probably because you suck as an SA. You complain about people opening attachements and getting infected - why didn't you stop them? It's their fault you let them get a virus in the incoming mail? No, it's yours.
You want thanks more than one day a year? Get over yourself. While I understand how important your job is to you (I'm an SA, and it's important to me), don't expect anyone to think less of themselves in your wake. You have a special skill that your company needs, but so does nearly everyone else there.
Today it is just as important for those system admins that feel "hated" and "blamed" to take a step back and look at what they're doing. For most of the time, most of my users have _loved_ me as an SA, because I'm calm, not condescending, and actually try and find ways to help people, not jargon to confuse them with.
To those SAs that to do a great job and regularly get approached by staff because they're approachable, well done and enjoy your day.
Me, I work at a fisheries where only a small fraction of the staff are users anyway. So I get no animosity because nobody sees me get in their way, and the office staff appreciate me because I find ways to make them do their job more easily and with less error.
That's why I deserve to be appreciated. Not because I have the root p/w, not because I can potentially fuck your wages up, not because I can delete all your email.
That's right. And when longhorn hits the streets, hopefully resume will too!
But seriously, I used to hibernate my laptop every time, but if you hibernate with the charger connected, and then wake up with it disconnected, the resume takes longer than a normal boot. It wakes up quickly, but once you hit Ctrl-Alt-Delete and log in the system starts thrashing like a freshly-booted WinME install, blanking the desktop and redrawing the icons and being generally unbearable.
Nice try. Suspend/Resume works, but like a lot of things in Windows, terribly.
Stop thinking in terms of taking weeks off your life. If I'm an alcoholic, I'll probably not only die earlier, but suffer in a certain way. If I don't stop smoking, similar but different.
This isn't a case of cellphone use taking x weeks off your life, it's a case of them causing "significant, irreversible damage" to the eye.
I believe such phones are still manufactured, too. Great idea, really, if it's fixed in a lorry, or you don't mind lugging it around.
A real cradle to hold. A massive battery and antenna. And the latter is much further away from your organs. Unless you've done something silly with it, anyway. Good phones, those shoeboxes.
I heard spammers routinely paid up front for dial-up access, knowing full well they'd get cut off eventually, and sooner than the time they'd paid up front for, just to get another account to pound the spam out from.
No, you don't do well trying to make it sound like putting a dollar, stamp, envelope, pen and paper together is a difficult exersize by any means. Latency of snail-mail, oh save me! I'm sorry, but I find you thinking the $1 fee fends off the spammers to be rediculous. Who ever said spammers won't use something if it costs something.
Right, I wondered if it was anything to do with the infamous Social Insecurity Number. I'm from New Zealand, and we have no such thing as a number that we're not only required to give our employer, educational institute and the guy at the lights washing windows, but allows someone else to impersonate us simply by posessing it.
To open a bank account here we need real identification.
I've got no problems with your 750 click through figure, that's fine.
But $2,000? What information is Joe Sixpack going to give a recruitment agency on a job application that's worth $2000 to them? Okay, you do go into a little personal detail on an application, but nothing like bank details, because you're not on the payroll yet.
Unless, OTOH I've missed your point, and you were perhaps indending the click-thruers to download some spyware to infect them with. While I can see a rate of return on this, two grand per infection?! Please elaborate, my friend.

If "that wasn't my point at all", then why reply to someone with something that wasn't his point at all?
You surely don't believe that the sort of person running an infected pc running some sort of httpd is the same person that regularly port-scans his own machine and knows what should and shouldn't be open, do you?
I personally use a "free" server that pretty much keeps spam at bay by requiring a $1 bill sent through the mail in order to gain memebership.
Yeah, I can't see where a spammer would get a dollar from.
You're AC anyway, so I don't know why I'm bothering, but yes. they exist. I haven't got any directly bookmarked, and can't be stuffed digging through them to find the urls, but lately while researching Electronic Fuel Injection specifics, I've read a couple of great geocities pages.
There was nothing to download, no b/g music, okay the html was pretty boring, but very easy to read. And that's exactly what I was there for.

Mean time to crack WEP key vs Mean time between WEP key changes. I've got no idea of either, but I'd say chance is good you could crack a WEP key thousands of times between changes.
So bullshit, if I crack your WEP key, I'm probably in for at least a few days. You change it, I've only got another key to crack. I'll probably be back on your LAN before you are.
Personally, I don't expect anybody to follow rules of spoken and written English. When they do it's a nice surprise, sure. But did the lack of capitalisation in the GP really impede your understanding of it, or are you just that sort of person.
Oh yeah, and I think you meant so say '...part of an English speaking society. There isn't a single English speaking society. At least your capitalisation was bang on. I suggest changing your nickname to "Wankworst". Only 2 chars.
So you assume he was carrying about 2-and-a-half murders worth of pot? You're right, for that sentence he probably had a kilogram or two. I dunno how your law is, that's about how long I'd spend inside in New Zeland for that much pot.
While grandparent probably understated things a bit, you can still see his point, even if he had a truckload of weed.
That was in KS from at at latest 1.3. For all I know it could have always been with the Amiga. Use either of the Amiga keys and arrows to move. Combine the amiga key with an alt for a click. Hold them down and use the arrows again for a drag. I've used so many Amigas with stuffed mice that I got pretty good at this.

Hell, most of the time they haven't even got the balls to use the right mod and risk metamoderation.

So we might as well drink anti-freeze, right? After all, it tastes nice.

How many responses would you get at your phishing site?
Half of fuck-all.

Unless Apple switch away from x86 again at some time in the future, I'd have to agree with you there.
So bullshit, if I crack your WEP key, I'm probably in for at least a few days. You change it, I've only got another key to crack. I'll probably be back on your LAN before you are.
I seem em do it, they fucken drown em in that shit!
Oh yeah, and I think you meant so say '...part of an English speaking society. There isn't a single English speaking society. At least your capitalisation was bang on. I suggest changing your nickname to "Wankworst". Only 2 chars.
That was my understanding anyway. So I might be wrong too, but I'm sure Apple would never have intended to release an x86 that CAN'T run other OSs.
Too much for one year! Not only will Apple be moving to x86, they'll also be using Electronic Fuel Injection!?! I'm gettin old...
