At least I come to work clothed. Remember PHB-of-mine, it could always be worse. Besides, are you really going to shitcan me because of my dress? I am the only one who knows how it all works, knows how to keep it going, and willing to do it for such little money.:)
It was my understanding that the last time I checked into the RIM v NTP dispute, the injunction exempted government Crackberry users from being shutdown. I work as a sysadmin at a large state university and all our campus and departmental PHBs have been warping their thumbs non-stop throughout the legal battle. They and I were under the impression that state and federal employees were not threatened by the suit/injunction/etc.
I think the PuTTy window and the Windows desktop icons on the owner's screenshot are too funny. fux0r.phathookups.com? LOL. Hackerfucker? LOL! Tom 't0mmy' Ferris, youre my hero!

... by checking out the Frontline episode "Dot Con". Totally blew my mind on how things worked financially in the tech boom. This is viewable on the web here.
Sadly, Windows Media Player or Real Player is required. My OSX/Debian boxes are pissed just as much as you are.;)
In most aspects of my life, I try to not be a snobby douche. But when it comes to hardware EIDE/SATA RAID, why would you think of anything _but_ 3Ware? Theyre the kings and have been.
I went to yesmoke.com, which used to be the premier Switzerland-based smoke shop a few years back. Oh noes! A Philip-Morris splash screen! But I need my $12/carton Marlboro!
But there was an interesting read in the redirect's FAQs, such as:
Q: Do I have to pay tax on cigarettes purchased over the Internet?
Absolutely. Every state and some localities impose an excise tax on the purchase of cigarettes, and some states and localities also impose an additional sales tax. Purchasers are required to pay that excise tax even if they buy cigarettes outside a state and bring or ship them into that state. This also applies to Internet sites operated by Native Americans selling to non-Tribal members. The state taxes are owed by the purchaser, regardless of any statements to the contrary on the Internet site. In addition, Federal law requires Internet vendors who sell or ship any quantity of cigarettes into a state to report the sale of cigarettes and certain information concerning the sale, including the name and contact information of the purchasers, to state tax authorities. State tax authorities can then use this information to collect taxes from in-state consumers. In recent months, a number of states have sent tax notices to residents demanding payment of unpaid taxes and imposing substantial penalties on consumers for the non-payment or untimely payment of taxes on cigarettes purchased over the Internet.
So yeah. R.I.P. yesmoke.com
Another thing I noticed about TFA is the statement that "smokers who have bought cigarettes online are starting to get notices from the state to pay up the $2-per-pack cigarette tax they avoided."WTF? Taxes makeup 2/3-3/4 of the total cost to purchase? No wonder Michigan is pissed.;)
I'm sorry, but Samba is not ready for prime-time. Having a single point of failure in your Samba PDC is not acceptable for enterprise use.
Well, if you looked a bit deeper into FMSO roles and AD, you would see that Windows has a glaring SPOF also. Youre box responsible for the Global Catalog is NOT the one you dont want to lose.
The game is just plain amazing, and runs pretty damn well on my computer with detail turned up (this is a 1.5 year old laptop).
Funny. It has been my experience that you need a laptop thats going to be manufactured in 1.5 years FROM NOW to play Counter-Strike:Source with decent performance.;)
Funny. I had dozens of persons recommend 3Ware as the undisputed kings of hardware RAID controllers. I bit the bullet and bought an 8506-12 SATA for home use (2TB usable RAID-5 w/ a hot spare... dont ask;).
Worked great for a few months. But the controller then began to sporadically report drives "Not In Use" during initialization on boot. To make matters worse, the card would sometimes hang during initialization, timeout ("bios not installed"), and fail to be accessable by the kernel once booted. These problems persist to this day. Many calls to 3Ware have resulted in the same verdict: "not enough or dirty power". I dont have the tools to pinpoint dirty power problems, but I have tried to gut the box as best as I could to solve any power consumption problems. This was rather tough given the box's power needs (Athlon XP 2500+, 4 x 128 2100 DDR, 1 x WD 80GB [WD800JB], Sony EIDE DVDROM, 3Ware 8506-12 SATA, 12 x Maxtor 250GB 7200RPM EIDE [6Y200P0], 12 x HPT EIDE -> SATA bridges, ~45 40mm-80mm fans). So I came to accept the shady verdict from 3Ware about power; the box was a beast even for an Antec 550.
Whats more perplexing is that I have built a similar box at work, but with much more conservative power needs (Athlon XP 2500+, 4 x 128 2100 DDR, 3Ware 8506-8 SATA, 4 x WD2000JD). With only 4 drives hanging off an Antec 550, I BEGAN TO SEE THE SAME PROBLEMS. Strange indeed. The answer from 3Ware was the same: "not enough or dirty power". Well, "not enough" sounds like horseshit to me.
Its important to remember that I evaulated software RAID as a solution; more people recommended it over hardware/3Ware. The problem I had was interfacing the drives to one board! Certain add-on PCI controllers, such as those offered by Promise, can only have 1-2 per system. Software RAID-5 without drives on their own channels is certain death. So the challenge on how to get your drives all hanging off their own channel within one box is tough when you want 6-12 drive arrays.
If I could do it all over again, I would forget about my small penix and build me a couple software RAID-5 boxen with ~1TB per box. No power problems, no 3Ware hassles, no mega-drives/box issues. Oh well... live and learn.
One of my co-workers, a former Dell employee from her earlier years in industry, commented on this story. "Thats what killed the stock some years back."
... as Ron Paul voted against it. Obviously Ron Paul hasnt used a Microsoft computer in the last 4+ years. Figures, since hes from my hometown Congressional district.

I have seen WYSIWYG editors consistently muck up URLs, such as http://http//google.com. Can anyone tell me why this redirects to microsoft.com?
Phishing works in numerous ways like creating fake websites like www.payypal.com which is a close of replica of paypal to trick mom and pop.
