even at the bank I work at and we milk things for a Loooong time. I've a dually alpha, but I loaded debian on it. That was a huge pain...only got it done thanks to MadHack, but man that thing flies.
what I choose to use and what work requires are 2 things. I guess I am just a fat lazy bastard, because I want my cake and I want to eat it too. Why should I have to lose out to do the right thing. In the end I guess I just bitch alot and make small steps:( Damn..I am gonna go have a Guinness....
at a lan party. 45 people going DDR nutzo. I laughed till my stomach hurt, then realized..HEY, you know the ONLY women at the lan party were ALL there, and so were alot of guys. Just think guys, one thing WOMEN REALLY LOVE is DANCING, and this way a geek just might actually get close to one:)
that helps when it breaks on Friday at 3:00 pm and the vendor wants $5.00 and 6-8 weeks to get a replacement copy to me. I make 'copy' of ALL CD material I get and store the originals in a nice dark safe place. Of course I've been accused of being anal....When the vendor will allow me to D/L the code using my broadband connect, since I am one of the 10% of the US citizens to have one then maybe this might fly. A VALID example is a LAN party trip..NEVER take your original CD's, some Luser will spill something on it or step on it.
it is hard to find somthing Perl can't do but who wants to maintain all that, and re-write every time some Clown with a VP title decides they want to see the data in a slightly different format, or can I include this info for the next week etc.
Excel is the killer app and I've still NEVER seen a decent substitute for a complex multi-sheeted calculation rich spread sheet. I have OO, and Star Office loaded as well but neither does the job. As for a word pro I could use notepad, or heck even VI when you get right down to it. Props to them for exploring alternatives, WP suite 7.0 was quite nice but why make life harder and sacrifice that 'synergy' that Word and Excel have by replacing just one half the tool-set. Given my druthers I'd use OO and screw the Visio/Excel issues but work requires that I use such documents.
mandated to attend services ? Does the Big Eye in the sky keep track of what you claim as religion, Yes, how else do they determine which so-called religions have enough followers to get tax exemptions and such. BTW In god I DO TRUST, everyone ELSE is suspect:)
well then I just go for a Coke and call it even. If you are a REAL MIDSHIFTER, you drink coffee(BLACK) with a tea bag in it for xtra Caff:) 4 years of Midshift in operations taught me how to stay awake, if not out of the hospital with stomach problems...
As long as the clueless Luser is still shelling out for M$ and getting an unsafe IIS by default I care what they spend their $$'s on. The idiots out there impact me just by being the natural self. As for the financial part I can't help but agree absolutely. My aunt and uncle actually PAY for AOL, and LIKE IT, no accounting for taste.
Linux is anti-establishment all the way. What do you expect ? As RH strives for recognition in the business world as a legitimate OS and support company it is ONLY NATURAL for them to become part of the establishment. I can only say, judge RH by their actions NOT BY SOME reporters questionable articles. RH has consistently adhered to the GPL and given back to the OSS community. Funny but this was bound to happen. Imagine the backlash if large corps start actually using it and Linux become THE business OS. Where will all the Linux Zealots go then. They can't run and praise the same OS the corporate world is busy raping everyone with, that would be 'BAD':)
nothing gets my attention like freebies. Even if it is cubicle trash, it will get me long enough to look at your product. That is what counts. Email is a NO NO, the spam content going thru the roof ensures that I delete ANYTHING I don't recognize immediately and if I have to take the time to filter it personally I am gonna be annoyed.
this is available in the US as well...it is called a 5150 Health and Safety code. You're detained and taken to a hospital to be determined if you are a danger to yourself or others. A doctor has 48 hours to make a judgement based on his experience, but NO specific criteria have been established for the detaining officer. Welcome to the 'J' Ward:)
media is the LAST to realize a fact. I wonder who slapped a reporter with this information. It has been common knowledge in the industry for 3 years now. BTW I just got an ATI 9700....WOOOOHOOO it ROCKS..Playing NWN in 1600x1200 with NO lag locally and only the expected net lag in multiplayer. I ran UT with the max goodies and consistently ran in excess of 150 fps. Very impressed initially, let's hope ATI keeps up the drivers....
I dispute 5 years behind the technology curve...But then I'd have to say at least 10 years behind on the implementation curve. The technology is here, it is just our MORONIC anti-competition laws smother any attempt at co-operation, and short-sighted corporations can't see any long term financial benefit in co-operating.
I am sorry but I've not downloaded music since the first initial Napster rush. It's too much work to find a decent copy of a track, I'd rather just pay for what I listen to, but when one of these disks prevents me from making a backup copy of my game to take to the LAN party, I am gonna become a full scale pirate like the SW industry really fears. I BUY LOTS of games. I am looking at a cd rack full of hundreds of legal titles, and I use the NO-CD crack for all of them.

look like a childs game. Apple has not only proprietary software, but hardware as well. Jobs has done what is making Gates green with envy..
LOL that would be an excellent example :)

that is an interesting view of things :)
I think that many people see the present that way as well, that part scares me...

Cracker is a common (at least here) term for a white guy. I've most heard it used in the context of "get your cracker a$$ over here"

Anyone else used it ? I'd love to find somthing to replace the M$ Office suite in its' glorious bloatedness.
Because they have no clue what they are doing and felt that this would be a good tactic to establish an agenda ?? :)

I get that song stuck in my head for hours at a time....
Wow I honestly never knew there was a difference..What do the Canadians use ??

yes but only on the SAME bloody service...we are SO screwed here...

for the concise and CLEAR answers :) It makes much more sense as a business in light of that info...
