The AC i'm replying to is correct. Knowing those involved, which you are no longer a part of, he put everything he had into getting torrentse going.
So, Kenspy, you are now lumped with jjcoolj in my mind, for taking a shot at someone who worked hard to help lots of people out.
...and now something better than EQ could have ever been(for me) comes out. My core group of friends are all big star wars geeks, and we pretty much quit EQ together, got girlfriends, etc. Now, with this coming out, we are going to have to band together and not get this as a team, lest we fall prey to our baser(geekier) desires.
But shit man, a wookie dark jedi.
(me to girlfriend)Baby, you know I love you, but I need some me(starwars) time, you know, to sort things out(become dark jedi). I'm glad you understand(please dont sleep with anyone else).
Love, Nadadogg(Sith Lord Grwararar-bacca)
I wonder what happens when they take off the stock Honda badge and replace it with an indiglo glow in the dark badge. You think it will still work, or will the glowing pretty light make the automatic braking system do the macarena?
Well, the distros would undermine the glue for one reason. Money. The biggest distros couldn't exist without their big service contracts and the techs that handle it. If a move to a newer file system would require them to spend money training, they obviously don't want to spend more money, thereby requiring you to stick with the old file system.
If MS succeeded in shutting down a few spammer colonies and clean out some of that garbage, I might feel some remorse* next time I witnessed yet another pirated copy of a MS product.
I think a better way to view like this would be using Tiled browsing. Have 4 pages simulatneously loaded, and scroll to the "relavant" information at each one, and blammo! "Raised productivity" from being able to view multiple "documents" at once so that you can "deliver your report" to the "executive office."
I personally(and professionally) don't have a single problem with Linksys products. I have used them religiously at home(cable router+switch, NIC), and at work (router for t1), and havent ever had a problem. When I used to work as a tech, we sold Linksys wireless routers/NICs, and the set up was quick, easy, and reliable. The stuff is cheap, and stable in my experience.
So, unless you happen to have had a bad experience with Linksys as a child(clowns anyone?), there isnt much to legitimately gripe about.
Sorry for the rant, I just love my damn router, better than the AOpen stuff that my old job used to stock as well.
It seems to me that it might work in more of a "hyper erosion" kinda thing, like how the ocean will gradually wear anything away, without being rough. This puppy just speeds up the process.
Well, if you were only connecting from home, like I do, your IP would be on the safe list. And when I say something Crazy(tm) happens, its usually something like our database server shutting itself down or locking up, which requires a physical reboot.
That is an excellent point. In your situation, this cutter technique would probably not be very effective. My safe IP idea would be more valid with situations like where I work, when the only outside>in connections are some supervisors checking databases from home, and me checking dns/mail servers from my home. If anything Crazy(tm) happens, the office is only a 30 minute drive from my apartment to fix things on the spot.
Well, you could prevent this by assigning a list of "safe" IP addresses that would not call for termination, but merely be logged. This way, unauthorized entry into the network would be stopped, and working from home would be brought to the higher-ups' attention, thereby making you look good:)
Just a thought, really.

Daikatana comes to mind(not exactly ID, but some of the same people). Without some new blood, everyone begins to think in the same way. Someone younger can make a snap decision on what he(or she) likes as a young gamer, and with the problems with authority that many young people have(stereotype) they will be more likely to call "crapfest" before someone stakes their reputation on something that isn't quality work.
I enjoyed the first 3 FF games released in america, but never played any of the newer ones(7 and up), but merging Final Fantasy and the internet may be enough to hook me. Provided that they offer a demo period or something similar, so that I can give it a shot, I may stick around

Well, stereotypes are there for a reason. They may not be the nicest way to deal with things, but they aren't totally without truth. Of course, there are always exceptions to the rule, but on average your initial reaction to something(aka stereotype) is going to be dead-on. The way I perceive situations may not always be PC, but snap judgement calls on things like this are just following your instinct.

Programming is a skill that depends on both quick thinking, and a base to stand on.
Younger people tend to pick up new skills quicker, and improvise without much effort, whereas older programmers may not learn new things very quickly, but will have more of a mastery of their respective language.
If I were a hiring manager, I would probably stick with experienced programmers if it were a mission-critical app, but someone younger if I were, say, trying to create a new game engine.

Well, what about people who have mental problemsm such as severe depression or mild schizophrenia(sp), but keep it in check, and live pretty normal lives? Lots of people have problems, ranging from mild to severe, and still function in society. Bad thoughts shouldn't keep someone from getting the job of their dreams.
I wonder how they project people who write in scripting programs like perl or php, to do in the future. It is some damn useful stuff, which is virtually the only type of programming that I do at work.
As a former tech(moved on to programming), sometimes a windows 95 install would be so bad off, and the user so dead-set on NOT formatting, that we would have to load windows 98se upgrade, thus fixing most of their problems. Of course, the only problem may be in buying licenses, but we had found a place that sold them, I'm sure you can too.
Also, when i did on-site jobs, i had a tech Cd with updates to IE, cd burning software,winzip/winrar,the windows 98 shutdown patch, and windows 95 usb support patch, along with 300 mb of drivers.Well, of course, I had a windows cab files cd, saved my butt on various occasions. And last, but not least, a win98se boot disk with fdisk and xcopy/xcopy32.
I may go by B&N and flip through it, see if i can learn any new google tricks. Hey, anybody thought up a neat catchphrase for doing tricks with google? I'm thinking in the lines of synergy, etc.
Now to skirt the edge of the topic for a bit.
I think my favorite tool on google, by far, is the Google toolbar. That sucker saves me a pretty good amount of time over the day at work.
Mainly, of course, when I'm looking up stuff about cars or handhelds.
I happen to rather like the "dive right in" approach in books. The way that I have to do projects at work is one at a time, and I learn by doing, which I find to be the best way to learn.
Examples in books are a damn good way to learn, you get to look at the whole picture, and wrap your head around it all at once.
I learned my basic knowledge of PHP from a SAMS Learn PHP in 24 hours book, and it taught me the basics, and I may end up grabbing this book to work on the site at my place of employment.
It's going to be a dynamically generated page, with different looks for the different owners after login, with a secure connection to the valid information they need to access (sales,costs, etc) and php is going to be the way to go, with the information served generated by perl.
This is a pretty good thing that AOL is doing, them being AOL and all. I read reports all the time about small to mid-size ISPs having problems turning a decent profit due to having to deal with spam. But, of course, i have a 3-pronged defense. It's sorta like turtling in an RTS, except that I won't ever be able to break out. I have my cox cable email address, which i do not use. Then, i have my email address with my domain name, which i only use for emailing friends, family, and for pay services(the ones i trust not to give out my email addy), and then 2 different @yahoo addresses, for signing up for anything else online. When i was on AOL(late 97/early98), because I was in HS, with parents who weren't too computer savvy, I learned quickly to make an alt AOL account for signing up to things, and tried to use my main SN as little as possible.
I had my old phone(a motorola startac) for about 8 months when i decided to change providers, due to my ALLTEL phone having problems with caller ID/voicemail when roaming, something my Cingular Ericsson t60 not having a problem with. I dont think ill upgrade phones again until people i know get phones with MMS(multimedia message), becuase getting a phone with MMS would be a waste as of now.

You can use "hyper erosion" anytime you want, just put (nadadogg rules) somewhere in the footnotes :)
