I mean all the pooh-poohing about how old it is and how slow they are to get it running and how in the hell can Burt Rutan build a time machine that in 3 days and all that shit.
Well what's your "Jesus H. Christ this cost so much goddamn money that could be better used elsewhere" plan? How much should a very heavy reusable lifter cost and how complicated should it be?
Rutan didn't orbit, didn't carry a payload, can't dock with anything and at 20 million dollars per 175 pound man launched costs what the Space Shuttle costs.
In a stunning admission that post Ptolemaic science may in fact be an acceptable realm of study, the Vatican announced today that it is entirely plausible that gravity in fact, exists. This reverses nearly 2000 years of Christian theology which until now had answered such questions with "God says, case closed, now go home and make more Catholics."
You have now fallen into the black hole of horrible service. You might as well stop using the phone.
ATT wireless is bar none the absolute worst in terms of customer service.
-They flat out lie to you most of the time regarding the contract in the basic T&C and how or if the contract can be changed. -They give you different answers to the same questions, no one who works there can really give a coherent answer to anything. -They hide critical details from you like if you make even the slightest change to your contract, even if that change is a correction to a mistake THEY made it will add at least another year to your contract. -They NEVER NEVER honor insurance on a lost/damaged phone - never. It's straight up theft for them to charge for insurance because there are zero instances where they honor it. -There is no phone number to call for help first - your only 'option' is email and then a phone number to call. Once you do call, expect to spend at least 2 hours on the phone. -The bill is utterly impenetrable - no one, not even them can explain what the individual items are. It's entirely possible that there are all sorts of fraudulent charges in the bill. -The service itself is spotty and horrible - if you like noise and dropouts and an inability to even get a dialtone more than 4 out of 5 attempts then please use ATT. -Voicemail has NEVER worked correctly - I had to eventually have voicemail turned off because messages could not be retrieved, ever.
ATT should rot in hell and the people who work there need to drown to death in the blood of their own children.
My 8 year old pc runs W2K, in your face!

How Cheap Can A PC Be?
·
· Score: 4, Insightful
My IBM PC300PL is worth about 100 bucks. It's got 288MB, a 40GB drive, a 40XCDRW, an Intel P3-450 and a free Ethernet card even though it's already built in to the MoBo. The problem is NOT NOT NOT NOT the hardware it's that Steve Balmer wants to sell you a PC that needs at least twice the hardware as that. If MS just gave us a secure efficient version of W2K we could all have 100 dollar PCs.
Israel has had LEO capability for about a decade using their Shavit launcher. Moreover because of where Israel is they have to launch TO THE WEST which requires a bigger than normal booster and a more complex launch profile.
We got plenty of heat and third world humidity. Shit we have vultures and snakefish, cousins marrying cousins, no shoes, poor people and the worlds best white trash rednecks too.
Come to the Tarheel state. It's like Mumbai except the people don't speak English.
Seriously, the world's biggest software monopolist who conciously fucks with standards, formats and compatibility simply to push us along the upgrade path like lambs to the slaughter telling us that problem is fucking hardware? Maybe that works with the strippers in Bangkok but not here.
Tell you whut Steevie - show me how the $238 pc I have is going to make your life perfect and what you will tell me is I don't even have enough hardware power and resources to run YOUR FUCKING SOFTWARE on it.
So don't tell us the problem with your software is that no one gave us a free pc to run it on. Every years hundreds of thousands of people send old pcs to Asia to run...... got your ears on Steevie?.....Linux (etc.) because that's what will run on it and that's what they can afford. Not your shit.
We really don't know how many genes there are, if we should be happy and proud that we have a lot or a little, what they do, how they work or how we can make all of this work for the far far right wing's psychochristian agenda.
We need to accept that all browsers are fundamentally broken and exposed and can't be fixed. We need therefore to understand security as that set of tools and behaviors that minimize our own exposures and risks with the understanding that Browsers, in fact all desktop tools are to some extent nothing more than Dreadnoughts and Maginot Lines too big and stupid to get out of their own way and only as effective as the stupidity of the attack that tries to hit them head on.
The notion that browsers are exposed is really only relevant in term of what is exposed and how meaningful that exposure might be to you or your enterprise. If your browser gets hijacked - ok then what are you going to lose your bank account or credit card? Are you going to lose your health management PPO records? Are you going to go to jail when the FBI finds your kiddyporn? Or do you simply take other steps to protect yourself in the case when not if your machine is cracked and taken over.
The internet will finally achieve what you've all wanted all these years - common ordinary functional acceptance. Of course what goes along with that is all the dreck and garbage 'content' that supports it like advertising, porn, sweepstakes and 99.99% of the blogs.
No doubt all those Google options have a beginning date and an end date and a strike price that's far out of reach today and will remain so as Google stock slowly slides backt to rational levels.
On paper is one thing, real value is quite another. Millions of dotbombers know the reality of stock option accounting and if they were worth 'millions' from the get go they'd be warrants or gifts not options.

I have my hands over my ears and I'm screaming. I can't hear you I can't hear you I can't hear you
Are you me? Do you have my experience? No?
Then Shut the Fuck Up, seriously Shut the fuck up.
or is that too obscure?
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Ring of Fire
Love is a burning thing
And it makes a fiery ring
Bound by wild desire
I fell into a ring of fire...
I fell into a burning ring of fire
I went down...
And the flames grew higher
And it burn, burn, burns
The ring of fire
The ring of fire
The taste of love is sweet
When hearts like ours meet
I fell for you like a child
Oh, But the fire went wild
I fell into a burning ring of fire
I went down...
And the flames grew higher
And it burn, burn, burns
The ring of fire
The ring of fire
I fell into a burning ring of fire
I went down...
And the flames grew higher
And it burn, burn, burns
The ring of fire
The ring of fire

There's nothing funnier than screeching granola crunching 'white hat hacktivists' who get pwn3d.

Some writers should write what they write instead of writing about how or why they write.
To force his holier than thou TeeVee is duh debul shit on the rest of us. Well fuck him and I hope someone makes a "Kill You" button real soon.
Honestly every week we hear another thing that Google is going to do.
what are the odds of that happening again??
Computer security is not protection it's the fear of penetration.
They discovered they can rape a little more money out you and invade your bank accounts by feigning yet another problem. Paypal is evil.
