How do you specify "Leave me Alone" on a Usenet post?
Been hitting Usenet for many years now and never heard of such a thing.
Easy excuse: How do they KNOW you're power is on? I'd have just unplugged the phone for the day and told them Monday that it wasd because of the outage.
People will believe what you tell them. If they're in Cali, and you're in Toronto, they will see "Big Blackout" on the news and believe it.
WTF? No BACKUPS? What kind of a stupid idiot doesn't make backups. Somebody needs to get fired, or at least kicked out of the room. Missing a recent patch, understandable. No recent backups, unforgivable.
I've simply tried to make do with games that don't require a whole lot of graphics. What graphics I do have, I generally draw in pencil on a piece of paper, scan that in, then color it in using either Paint Shop Pro or The Gimp. My artwork isn't all that good, but it really doesn't have to be if the game behind it is good. Whether my games are good is in the eye of the beerholder, but I do my best. But better art is usually the hardest thing to come up with, being more of a coder than an artist.
Been working on indie web games for a few years (Click my sig for that), and have just started messing around with PocketPC stuff. Insultor's really not a 'game', but it's pretty entertaining.:)
I know the feds have lots of standards (And pretty well thought-out) for bank-related IT security.
Don't they have some similar standards for government standards, or are all different federal entities left to simply come up (or not come up) with their own standards?
Nothing better than an undocumented standard... Ah, the fallacy of our stupid race. One of the main ways we all communicate, but very few people really know how it works. Stupid humans, kicks are for trids...
And one about legos, and BSD, and hot grits, and... And even better, some way to filter out stupid posts modded "+5 Funny"
Look fucktard, this is one of the most relevant stories regarding the future of Linux. This is the main reason I am currently coming to./ and am interested in seeing every aspect available.
How come this post makes so much sense? How come so many people would freak out if we tried to do this? Instead of tracking everyone, just eliminate the need to track people.
No, it just makes me angry that along with the commercial success, they started making really shitty music. The new one's better, it's heavy and fast (Unlike those 'loads' of shit) but there's no feeling to it, nothing like the solo's in Pastor of Muppets or Sanitarium, none of the "fuck it all and fucking no regrets" like Kill 'Em All.
Once, Metallica was the BEST band ever, but they lost it somewhere along with their hair.
Man have we been busy... Ever since SCO revoked IBMs license, the PHBs have been freaking out. They gave us 30 days to make the move, we argued that it would probably take two years.
The PHBs got together to discuss it and agreed with us and gave us 30 + 2 days to get it done. We then had to explain the differences between 'day' and 'year', which took a long time because to explain 'day', we had to first get them to understand the difference between 'light' and 'dark'. Boy were they excited when they figured out there actually was a reason behind wearing their stylish wrist devices!!
Then we tangented off to several meeting about finding a reason for the stylish things they tie around their necks. Never were able to figure that one out, even with all us techies there to assist.
But, we are now allowed to come to work naked as long as we have a stylish wrist device!
We now have 13 days remaining to make the switch from AIX. We are simply moving everything to Linux, but putting up a custom message that says "SuperOS" instead of "Linux" or "AIX" and they seem nice and calm again.
You've got to be kidding me, you're actually using the lame 'politically correct' argument on the pronunciation of Linux? Give us a break!
I'll give that some want to pronounce it Linnux (I think that sounds stupid, but it's just my personal opinion) but by the same token, expect me to get offended when some punk ass gives me shit for calling it Lie-nix.
I've chosen my side on the dumb name game, but as top Linux admin in the company I work for (Big fortune 50 company even) I've been known to flaunt my 'authority' and arrogantly demand someone to leave my area, come back in, and try again when some junior techie wants my help with "Linnux". It's great BOFH-type fun. You should try it.:) It's forever Lie-nix for me.:)
And my/. user ID is far lower than yours, so I win by default.:)
Conspiracy theories aside, you don't find it even the least bit scary that voting machines have absolutely no auditing mechanisms built into them? What about the fact that when these companies are asked for even the slightest amount of accountability, such as a voting receipt showing that a vote was actually recorded for the same person that you voted for, they cry foul and whine about trade secrets and bizaare things about free speech right for corporations? Doesn't that raise even a microscopic flag? Just eating up what you are told?
Do you not realize how dangerous it could be for the voting process to be hijacked by electronic means/nefarious people?? That really scares me.
Although Linus pronounces his name "Lee-noos", the properly Americanized pronounciation is "Lie-Nus" (Reference: Peanuts by Charles Shultz).
Therefore, the properly Americanized pronounciation of Linux is "Lie-Nucks".
If you pronounce it in the non-American fashion of "Linnux", you must be a terrorist (and sound dorky too). You're either with us or against us.
Lennox is an air-conditioner company. (And why haven't they pulled a SCO on the usage of their name by dumb lamers for an operating system, thus diluting their trademark.) They get really pissed when you call 1-800-4-LENNOX for technical support on your computer.
Hagel didn't even disclose his ownership in the voting machine company, and won by a landslide. Go figure.
Even scarier - when President Bush was here a couple weeks ago, he and Hagel were total buddies.
I'd say we should expect Bush to 'win' the next election too. After all, Hagel's machines run Florida too and I doubt the Florida governor (Bush's brother) will call for much investigation into this severe breach of democratic trust.
Fuckin scary is all I think. I'll probably 'disappear' now, after posting this from Nebraska. Weird shit going on in this state, and nothing but herd animal mentality amongst the large majority of the population. Mind control, mass hypnosis, and the water has a funny taste lately...
How does Walmart affect it?

Making Change

I'd be curious to see how the average distribution of change is affected by the dominance of Walmart and it's strange method of pricing where most things end up costing X dollars and 88 cents. With the significant percentage of money spent at Walmart, it seems that it would throw off his distribution method, so perhaps a different denomination coin would be more appropriate in dealing with the Walmartization of America.
Dear IRS, please send the $500,000 I've paid in taxes the last five years to NASA. As inefficient as NASA is, I think space exploration has the best long term return on investment for society possible and support it fully, even if I will not see the return in my lifetime.

Yeaaahh, he's new here. Right. He's got a lower ID that I do.

But your reply was funny.

Uh, the 6510 CPU in the C64 normally operated at 1 Mhz. You could get it to doublespeed (2 Mhz) by simply switching off the video driver through code.

Yes, most people hear would think it meant Universal Serial Bus (USB) and Linux Standard Base (LSB) instead of some old-fashioned radio terminology.
:)
I think that USB is in the LSB...

Too many years of slasdhdot does bad things to your mind.
