If you were posting on Slashdot, and compared a computer to a car, that means you are an idiot, correct? You've just started an insanely long pointless thread about how each person's car analogy is flawed and how the other person's car analogy is far better and...
Fuck, people, be more creative... Try comparing a computer to a LLama, or a piece of toilet paper, or a strange thought you once had while tripping on acid, or a bit piece of snot. But never, never, NEVER a car. It's pointless...
Pope Goestheveezl was the shortest reigning pope in the history of the Church, reigning for two hours and six minutes on 1 April 1866. The white smoke had hardly faded into the blue of the Vatican skies before it dawned on the assembled multitudes in St. Peter's Square that his name had hilarious possibilities.
About time for a new release, Trade Wars 2002 has been rather old since the early 1990s. Trade Wars 2112 seems to have never made it to this side of reality.
Is it just me, or are ThinkGeek's April Fools Day products a bit lame this year compared to previous years? They are usually pretty funny, but they are a bit weak this year. The Megamags are kinda cool though...
Why do you need a new cert? Are you changing the public domain name of the web site? If the domain name stays the same, it should be simple to move the cert.
Oh, you're one of those IIS guys who use the horribly abstracted tools provided to deal with the certs.
Learn to use OpenSSL from the command line, or at least learn to use the raw Certificates snap-in for MMC (Open MMC, select Add Snap-in, pick Certificate and Local Machine (Not current user) and then the rest I'm not explaining now. There might be something on my web site, I think, that goes into more details.) rather that the training-wheels version you get from inside the IIS Manager. The raw Certificates snap-in allows you to change the machine name, but it's tricky and obscure.
I've moved the same cert from IIS, to Apache, and back again. It's a pain in the ass with the Microsoft tools that try to treat the whole thing like it's a single key, when in fact it's two keys (Public/Private). Absolutely obvious with OpenSSL, but hidden from you for some strange reason with IIS.
Maybe it's a shift in how things are being labelled.
This month's Software Development magazine has an article (P22 - No More Chaos. Checked their site and the article itself is not online, but it is listed on the main page.) that says that they were unable to find any actual failed projects in 2004, even after surveying 10,000 US companies!
So maybe instead of projects failing, they are just taking the extra needed time to get them done right, but then getting thumped for being late.
"Well Mr PHB, either that project is late, or we write it off as a failure. What's going to look better?"
Looking through the logs for my website, I see Googlebot visiting nearly every day, followed (recently) by MSNBot. (Actually, in raw count, I'm seeing that MSNbot has just recently surpassed the number of requests as Googlebot. Would need to do some in-depth analysis to see if those are requests for the same thing over & over, but in raw requests...) I pretty much never see anything from Yahoo cataloging my site.
Google still leads however. I wonder where Yahoo is getting it's data, unless it's from a crawl previous to fall 2003, as I'm not tracking logs from that far back. Strange.
Hmmm... A name like Harkobeeparolyn, I'm betting that you probably have other books about organlegging in your library. You know it's not a good idea. Be careful, someone might take you seriously.
But on the other hand, it's the conservative mentality that the government needs to tell everyone what to do. What's the difference?
Do not be pulled into the polarizing arguments. Things are of many shades of gray, there is no black or white. There are more than two answers to every question. Republicans suck, Democrats suck. A true American is what you want to be at the end of the day, not what the TV (The voice of propaganda) tells you to be and how to think.
I agree, it infuriates me that the vast majority regards the government as a deity - something to grant wishes, instead of something that requires each and every person to take part in and to keep under control.
That's a good question for us who ARE US citizens, as well. I certainly don't understand it.
The best I can figure is that the United States has been having some economic problems, and in the past, the best answer for a bad economy has been to start a war, fuel the military/industrial complex, and so Joe Sixpack believes that we will all end up with jobs again.
However, we've shipped most of our industrial complex outside the US since the last time we tried this, so it's doubtful that the same rules apply. Could be the answer, could be we are just digging our graves faster.
But like Luke said "I've got a bad feeling about this"

> Also, any app that mixes or confuses the two buffers is broken and should have a bug report filed.
HELL NO, any app that DOESN'T mix the two is a confusing mess and doesn't make Linux any easier to use. We only need one fucking buffer. All code that I have written mixes the two and I plan to do the same forever and laugh at any confused person who would report that as a bug.
While it may confuse the uber-user, it makes perfect sense to 99% of people out there. CTRL-C then middle-click should do the same thing as highlight and CTRL-V. No thinking about "Hmmm, which invisible buffer did I put that in?" If you have to think about which buffer, then there's something wrong with the concept.

That would be a strange conversation

Q: Place of Residence?
A: How long were you in the US
Q: What was the purpose of your visit?
A: Anything to declare
Q: Is that some kind of code-speak?
A: Doesn't make any sense.

Yah, sure, don't you wish...
I have this bridge over the English Channel you might be interested in, cheap...
This just goes to show that we need a moderation system for laws, etc:
Fair Use is a good thing, so mod it up to '+5 Law: (Good for society)'

But it's NOT anti-Americanism.
Yes, it's anti-[The Way America has been behaving lately], but it's not anti-American.
It's "Hey guys, I see a lot of things broken here, and I love my country, so why can't we work on making this the great place it used to be?"

What do you mean IE can't render pages with ??
ASP.NET built with Visual Studio.NET puts DIVs all over the place and IE has no problem with them.
Informative, thanks!
I find this in my log report for Slurp, is that the one for Yahoo?:
2889: Mozilla/5.0 (Slurp/cat; slurp@inktomi.com; http://www.inktomi.com/slurp.html)
Still, far less than the other guys:
34267: msnbot/0.3 (+http://search.msn.com/msnbot.htm)
28927: Googlebot/2.1 (+http://www.googlebot.com/bot.html)
You have been spun so many times you don't even know that you are disoriented.

t ml#browsum, but Yahoo is giving more traffic (http://klomdark.servebeer.com:443/analog/report.h tml#refsite) than MSN.
What's weird I'm noticing is that I don't see anything from something like a Yahoo bot at http://klomdark.servebeer.com:443/analog/report.h
Google still leads however. I wonder where Yahoo is getting it's data, unless it's from a crawl previous to fall 2003, as I'm not tracking logs from that far back. Strange.

The government is not a deity. Do not worship it.
Wrong answer! Let's see you shove your neo-capitalist yammering all the way up your ass.
Very true, interesting thought.
But in the case I was referring to, the Patriarchy is the Kzin's own ruling party, made up of Kzinti.
That's a good question for us who ARE US citizens, as well. I certainly don't understand it.

They specified BYTES, smart guy...
I know I'm joking... :)
Also, DR-DOS != MS-DOS.
But I get your reference, SCO did invent a clone of MS-DOS.
