I tried that system in high school. Only I don't think 4 ever really worked out. "Then you win", felt an awful lot like "Then you get beaten to a bloody pulp."
Actually, Ghandi and many others got beaten to a bloody pulp over and over again before they won.
"Be the change that you want to see in the world." -Ghandi
your relationship with your wife is going to change a bit. it won't be quite the same once the baby is in your lives. try to slip her the dick every once in a while to keep things going. or at least give her head when the oportunity is there. and these opportunities will be very very very rare.
since you still got plenty of time, keep things going til maybe 1 month before the due date. it'll be a bit more difficult because your wife is in a completely different state, but do take care of her needs as best you can.
Now you're talking! Fuck soda, I only drink soda if its mixed with alcohol, and in that case if its all that's available.
Within a year, you'll weigh 1,000 pounds and you won't be able to move anywhere
Not if you go out dancing and fuck a lot. That's what I do anyhow. And I drink all the beer I want.
Get on a fucking threadmill for crying out loud. Do some jumping-jacks. Also do some fasting, its good for ya. Quit eating all the bullshit. Though even if you do slim down, you may or may not get laid, you won't if you still continue to be lame and carry the stink of rejection with you. But its more the lameness that's the problem, hell, fat guys can get laid too and quite a few do.
When a new game comes out, warez of it is usually available everywhere. You download it, play it, and as time goes on, if you haven't played it in forever, you wipe it out. It didn't cost anything after all.
I never ever wipe out my warez. Not even if I don't plan on ever using them. I have boxes full of floppies to show for this, and 100MB zip disks, and spindles and spindles of CDs. My precious warez..
I don't warez games anymore (not into them really), but hmmm.. probably got Duke3d on some corrupted floppies somewhere. Was ephisode 1 free? Can't remember...
Well, I understand what he's trying to say, but he picked a poor example (and I don't consider Gnome alone to be the full package really). The sound recorder in Windows 2000 still only records 60 seconds of audio. I haven't tried it in Windows XP. I would rather have a Linux distro not even contain a sound recorder than to have the half-assed piece of shit that Windows includes.
Yeah, really.. And he mentions "no working sound recorder (like the one in Windows 95) shipped as the default by GNOME". Umm, the one included with Windows 95 only records 60 seconds of sound at a time. I wouldn't exactly call that a working sound recorder. And what does shipping things with Gnome have to do with anything?
Photoshop (which I call "Photo$shop") has the GIMP. Microsoft Office (which I call "Michro$soft Offi$ce") has OpenOffice. Adobe Premiere (which I call "A$dobe Pre$miere") has Film GIMP or whatever it's called.
Actually, you'd be surprised at how many people are running IIS for no apparent reason. One of my friends somehow managed to install IIS and didn't even know what it was. There are also a lot of people out there who are like "oh cool, I can run a web server" and go ahead and install IIS but then never really do much with it. You may notice a lot of Code Red hits are coming from cable/dsl dynamic-IPs, at least I do.
IIS is supposedly irrelevant as far as businesses running it. But I dunno, I know of quite a few idiot corporations who are running it. I know of plenty running MSSQL as well (who got infected by that last worm).
you aren't alone...We all enjoy playing with your girlfriends box.
Well, that's probably true.. She's running IIS for some reason. Even with my detailed descriptions on how to turn it off, and constant warnings of the dangers of running it, she's still got it running. It pisses me off to think of all the people out there who are getting in her box. The next time I get access to her box, I'll set things straight though. The bitch needs a damn firewall on that thing.
For all these reasons, I suspect that we'll be seeing more and more flash and similar products. Indeed, I'm seeing many web sites that are flash only. And I'm wondering if the time that this could be effectively countered has already passed
Well, I don't have Flash installed (at home) because I don't feel like installing it in Linux (and from what I hear the Linux version is rather unstable). I don't miss a thing. Any serious web site will not be flash-only. As for those that are flash-only, I don't really come across them, and if I do, I just don't visit.
Like I said, you can always turn on preloading. Phoenix loads up very quick without preloading, though. For me, browser preference is not based on load time since I almost always have a browser already open. Whenever people talk IE vs Mozilla, it's "load time this" "load time that." And IE vs Opera is always "I refuse to pay for a browser or be bothered by banner ads." BTW Opera's load time is probably about the same as IE.
specifically pop-up blocking and tabbed browsing
Those two features are just the tip of the iceberg. Honestly, you can have both of those features in IE with a front end like MyIE, so those features are nothing special.
Features of Mozilla: type-ahead find, carret browsing, good keyboard controls, text zoom that works, very subtle user interface and behavioral features that you don't notice and take for granted until you try browsing in IE.
Features of Opera 7: zooms everything including images, clicking next goes to the next page of a series of web pages whether it is Google search results, a review, or a multi-page online manual, the web pages you had open are saved when you close the browser (how many times have you closed a browser by accident?)... too many other features to mention, they paid a huge amount of attention to user interface, and the back end is unbelievably fast.
What's missing in IE: AFAIK when you hit back whatever you entered in a form has disappeared; cannot highlight text with the keyboard, must use mouse. These two little things are enough to keep me away from IE. It may seem trivial, but then load times seems trivial to me.
People on Slashdot loathe IE
When it comes right down to it, a Slashdotter can always say "there's no IE for Linux.":) And, well, that is usually a very valid point as not all of us are using Windows as our primary desktops, especially those of us who are developers.
If you don't do a lot web browsing, sure, IE is fine. But if you're spending a few hours a day doing any kind of information gathering, you owe it to yourself to use something a little bit more powerful. At the very least, throw a front end on top of IE (though the ones I've tried are kinda annoying).
That sounded awfully like a troll, but I'll bite...
Mozilla/Phoenix blows away IE in terms of features and usability and general intuitiveness.
Load times are irrelevant, what about page rendering times? I think you'll find Mozilla to be the same or better in render times. You can always turn on preloading in Mozilla anyways. Besides, is load times really that important? If I told you Linux boots up faster than Windows 2000/XP would you switch to Linux?
As for Mozilla, my experience with using it in linux has been this: slow, random freezing, random crashing, etc.
Can't say I've ever experienced this. Mozilla/Phoenix has never crashed or froze once for me in Linux. Not one single time. If you have Flash installed, that could be the problem (which would be Macromedia's fault), but I've never had it installed so I can't really comment on that. If you don't have Flash, well, it could be a symptom of something else, such as a hardware problem.
If you haven't tried Phoenix, try it now. Its great in Linux and Windows.
If you want to see a truly fast browser for Windows, try Opera 7. It blows away all other browsers in almost every area. Fast, lightweight, and has features you won't find in any other browsers. If Opera 7 for Linux (there is a alpha or beta version you can try) turns out like Opera 7 for Win, I'm probably going to buy it.
and the average computer user could care less what he or she is using
Well, I can care less what the average user uses. They can continue to use IE, which is pathetically far behind (even with the front-ends), and whose only advantage is that it is nicely integrated into Windows. If you're an "average computer user" go ahead and use IE, as you might get lost with something else. But if you are somewhat computer literate you may be ready to try a Mozilla-based browser or Opera, and discover what you're missing. It'll take time, though, you won't discover all the features in one day.
Wow.. An April Fool's joke that actually got me because I viewed it on April 2nd. This one was actually believable (or maybe just caught me off guard).. I was imagining the thousands of angry nerds who would be posting to message boards about how pissed off they are about the delay.

In India you can choose 3.
There are alternatives to Autocad for Linux.
LinuxCAD
VariCAD
Varkon - which is free for Linux, but their web site is down so I don't know what the status of this is.
Can't comment on how "full-featured" these Autocad alternatives are.
Yeah, really.. And he mentions "no working sound recorder (like the one in Windows 95) shipped as the default by GNOME".

Hey, just for the record, I hadn't even read the article when I mentioned the Kia Rio.
Article quote:
Imagine the possibilities. Buy a new Kia? Get 1,000 albums with every car.
Next thing you know we'll be expected to pay for food, gas, and books
Pay for books??!?? What are you crazy??!?!
Buy 1000 hours of music, get a free car!
;-)
1000 hours * $15 is $15,000. Amazingly, it probably is actually better the original way
Well, to make matters worse, the typical CD is like 40 minutes long. So:
1000 * 60 / 40 * 15 = $22500
I guess it just depends on what car you're getting. Chances are, they'll probably give you a free Kia Rio.

Like an operating system is not a piece of software on which a business depends on?
Well that's probably part of the reason he thinks Linux will decimate Windows.

My girlfriend uses Windows XP.. but man do I love playing with her box.
