Now the question all the new freenetters really want answered, is - after installing, configuring and letting run for a while.... How do I get some porn off the nextwork?

So either you don't own an iBook, haven't used OS X and are just lying about blue beachballs, or you do own an iBook and see the beachball so little you don't even know what it looks like.
Or maybe he's spent too much time reading/. and the blue balls have nothing to do with the beach.
Depends. In college after work you must study, oh and you need to sleep sometimes too.
Sleep is for the weak and can mostly be replaced by strong coffee. You can train your body to get by on either 3 or 4.5 hours a night. That leaves between 19.5 and 21 hours a day.
I suggest you try going to college and living poor for a while, in this enviornment its difficult to find work, and education is time consuming.
I suggest you joing the military and living poor for a tour or two. Some of the times we had in the Army made college life look like a cake walk.
The point is - I enjoy Real Life (tm) because I choose to. I set my mood when I get up in the morning and while having coffee I tell myself "Self, today is going to be a good day because you choose for it to be so." Yes, sometimes it takes until the second cup until Self is willing to listen to me.
This is why I leave a box on the outside of my firewall with shared directories filled with MP3s and Pr0n. Figure those are the only interesting things I've got and if someone wants to have a peek they are more than welcome to it.
also probably help to keep them from looking deeper into my network.
Oh, and I also log all IPs and ports at the router. Kind of funny that Comcast scans my ports more often than all the kiddies combined.
that blogging can be officially declared out, just as the newsgroups was when someone let the hordes from AOL in.
Honestly, now the great unwashed of AOL (I have used AOL, but I shower) have no idea what a newsgroup is unless they are shown. Maybe this new "feature" will give the stupid ones someplace else to say "Me too!" and they will forget about nttp all together.
I ran the Blue Hawaii Beta for some time when it first came out, but, as I have now seen the light that I don't need to pay $14.95 (BYOISP) to get spam, AIM Spam, UseNet Spam, SnailMail Spam and Spam Spam. So I've switched over to the light usage plan for a month to make sure I get all the legitimate emails corrected. After 7 years, I've finally had enough. There is NO content on there that has an interest for me anymore. The only reason I've kept it so long is because of 3 things - Nostaligia (sp?), too lazy to have everyone update their email, and all the college hotties in town use it.
Since I'm not dating this summer, everyone has one of 4 new emails for me and I'm keeping my SN via AIM - there just isn't anything thing left there for me.
BTW... if anyone can answer this, I'd appreciate it. Over at Xbox-Linux, I see debian dists [nice], Mandrake, and some others. I see reference to the 007 hack. But I don't see any combination that allows a simple Linux user to pop 007 and one or two CDs, and install Linux.
It's not quiet that simple. If I understand correctly, this is how you have to go about this...
Use the 007 save game hack to install the dashboard underbuffer hack to install the unsigned linux bootloader. As I understand it, you have to either use a memory card with the 007 saved game/hack already on it, or you're looking at hot swapping your Xbox hard drive.
AFAIK - there is no bootable CD hack like we saw on the DreamCast, nor is there likely to be a simple solution.
Yes - I own an Xbox, but... I'm more than a little nervous about doing this. The last "hack" linux install I tried turned my PDA into a $200 brick... and my kids actually play games on my Xbox so I don't want to take the chance.
The system doesn't suck at all. Xbox = better quality games, PS2 = More games at almost as good quality.
The market share they need to look at is younger kids. I picked up a used N64 the other week, and not a single game on the Xbox or PSone have been played since we got it. Kids don't care about how cool the graphics are, they simply care if it's fun. I still enjoy the old NES games and the old C64 games.
What you should of done was planned the route for all the houses at once, then fed that info into your palm/ppc/gps device, probably would of saved a few miles on your total route. Or maybe that's what you did and I misread it.
I've always wanted to do this for garage sales back when the technology was out of sight for prices. Now that it's cheap, I no longer do the garage sale circuit.
Absolutly right! There is something really cool about the women in the SCA. Something cool about going out with someone who can whoop your ass at tourney and makes chainmail.
What annoys me is that, when I was in college, there were all these attractive, intelligent women going into promising careers. Now that I'm in the working world, where are they??? Now everyone who's still single either has kids, smokes, is in some stupid job/has no education, is fat and ugly.
So start hanging around the nearest college and see what turns up. Maybe enroll in a couple of classes to keep the campus security off your back?
What happened to all those attractive co-eds? They got older, had to deal with stress, probably a bad marrage and have been worn down. This happens to the best of us.
Now what annoys me, is when I was in high school, there were like 3 really good looking girls in the class. I take my kids to the pool, and all the high school aged girls are just smokin' hot - where the hell were these women when it was legal to go out with them?
Stephen King or a new Tom Clancy? Seems that Tom tends to lean more towards the political manipulation, rather than King who generally tends to focus on the "almost" supernatural.
Those discs can only be read in that drive (and 1 or 2 older Plextor models).
Ah, someone didn't RTFA I see. The author got the audio discs he tested with to play in 2 different car CD players. He had mixed results with other players, and different problems for the different levels of burning (120% vs 140%), but that's quite different from ONLY reading in that drive.

Just because that's the way school was for you when you were growing up does not mean it has to be that way for kids now. Just because things are different does not mean they are worse.
I agree fully. I was 13 before I had a computer at home, a C64 with a tape drive that I bought myself. Now my youngest son tells me that his school (they live with me summers) has a kindergarden computer lab.
Of course, I think my kids are ahead of the curve with computers. They have their own linux box and I take a little time each day to teach them something about it. At 9, my oldest asked me how she could "get into computers". I was so proud.
Makes me wonder what my grandkids will have in their schools in 20 years (at least I hope it will be 20 years).

I understand exactly where you're coming from with this. When I first recommended Dell Axims with wireless cards they were for the techs to have a convient way to close calls when they were too busy to make it to one the main computers. I was so excited, did tons of research, had tons of fun with it and it never left my side.
Now the PHBs have found out and the software is on it's 6th revision, an they want my simple little application to do everything they can get from their computers. They even want a way to get it to work over the VPN from their home computers.
Everyone goes from using the things daily for the fist week, then we see a sharp drop off. I have to track down people to find out if they are just ignoring the requirement to use them, or if it's broken and needs to be replaced.

Well then, keep a stock of NyQuil gelcaps on hand for the trick-or-treaters. That oughta send 'em back to dream world.
Until the next day when their parents show up with the police!

Cool! So what are your root passwords then?
Mine's 'goshimawanker' and another popular one to use is 'ohiloveanalsextoysohyes'
Oh, you were asking for root passwords, not the default passwords for users. Never mind.

A weblog like Slashdot is not comparable to an online journal belonging to some 16 year old girl!!
Ummm... can you post the link to her journal?
I can go to www.dell.com and get a faster machine for under $700 unless you've got some really wiz bang cool features there.
If I really wanted to spend the time building it from parts, I know I could probably beat Dell's best price by 5-10%.

What's their innovation?
How about being the first game console to be made from PC parts running an X86 code?
The system doesn't suck at all. Xbox = better quality games, PS2 = More games at almost as good quality.
The market share they need to look at is younger kids. I picked up a used N64 the other week, and not a single game on the Xbox or PSone have been played since we got it.

Considering screws have 'threads' on them, they don't fasten well if you rotate them the wrong direction(if you can get them in at all)
Umm... They fasten fine if you 'rotate' them with a hammer.

I've always wanted to do this for garage sales back when the technology was out of sight for prices. Now that it's cheap, I no longer do the garage sale circuit.
It's there for 911 calls, but most of the ones I have seen allow you to access the GPS data without having to dial it. YMMV.
I dunno. IIRC, Evil dead II was a remake of Evil Dead I and was much better. Most of the time? Perhaps but always, no.
even the SCA fills this gap.
Absolutly right! There is something really cool about the women in the SCA. Something cool about going out with someone who can whoop your ass at tourney and makes chainmail.
I might just have to unpack and undust my garb.

You bring up some really good points, but I think that you're forgetting one of the basic laws of marriage.
The longer you've been married, the longer you learn to go with out sex. For example...
A single man looks at a married man who has 4 kids. He thinks "Wow, they must have sex all the time to have 4 kids".
A married man looks at a married man who has 4 kids. He thinks "Wow, he's had sex 4 times"...
do just fine for describing, say, an unladen swallow in flight.
Would that be an African or European swallow?
