And for some strange reason, I did read his brick of text..
Well, read is a bad verb. espeak read it for me. I really do have that "words swimming around" in those dense packs, but only thought of TTS after my 2nd post.
Well, you're a negro, so we know you cant cut it. But we're gonna look past that cause you know, you cant do it for yourself. So we're gonna give you a nudge.
Those whities, oh. Just ignore them. Theyre smart and they did it by themselves... well, harder really. They get points taken away cause they too smart, and they make negroes look bad and all. We need to level the playing field, right?
I assume you care cause you posted it. If you didnt care, you wouldnt have.
Text blocks are damn near unreadable due to lack of double space. It looked interesting, but when text sort of floats back and forth, I just quit reading.
And I wasnt trying to be trollish or funny. Im not really in that kind of mood right now:P though, I am a troll.
I had a hole in my radiator which was requiring me to open my radiator cap and manually put coolant in the coils itself. Not fun.
I had my GF's dad (a mech engineer) say there's a simple solution to small holes in the radiator: Black Pepper. Turns out, it doesnt clog the engine coolant valve, but clogs the hole.
And yes, I kept the hot air on all the time, as when the hot air turns cold, youre nearly out of coolant. It was my early warning... and I kept 2 50/50 jugs in the back.
I used to be the user that defended the TPM structure, until I read intel's documents on purpose, reasoning, and howto.
Their idea is that they try to plant a CPU that follows their instructions, not yours (the owner). Id rather prefer a way to reset the master key (PrivEK) or have it well known to the owner... but that's specifically was is forbidden in the Intel documents.
I could imagine a Linux system that would be immune to trojans due to physically not being able to run. that'd be cool, once you set it up and all. But the TPM's now are anti-owner devices.
It takes as much space as I want it to. 8.10 ran quite well on 512 MB RAM. Can use a filesystem meant for raw access to improve overall speed for SSD's Boots from any media CableCARD is useless, and H.264 works via MPlayer and VLC You can play any nonDRM format.

Everybody (including corporations) have a price point(s) they try to cover. However, in many cases, these companies write off those who do not wish to pay anything.
People like that are you and I. They dont care about us. We know where to get the software and the hardware, the knowhow and the instructions to pass on to those not in the know.
You can mouth off all you want, demanding a certain price point. But you would still consider that price too high when/if it ever gets there. So, just pirate and shut up. Do the rest of us a favor.
I buy hardware to crack, download anything I wish, and (the key) share with others who dont know how exactly to do this.
So, you're saying that if we ignore all the laws that say "Your device is ours because what we thought up is on there", we end up with pirates competing with legits... and the legits are winning?
Interesting. Now, lets talk patents and copyrights in terms of impinging on free trade.
---opinion, I quite like the windows layout in Vista. Vista uses lots of resources as a whole, it's not down to the windows. Don't want your GPU being used for Aero? Disable it.
I run Compiz on my EEE and it runs smoother than a few of my clients using Vista. Mine has 900MHz/512MB specs with lowbie intel gfx while they run 2.0+GHz/2GB with some Nvidia card. Why is my EEE smoother and faster, even using Cube desktop and many settings on?
---Are you serious? How many home users ever send a fax at all, let alone through their PC? I've not seen a PC built in the last 5+ years that had a fax modem.
I know quite a many, thank you. I would assume that you do not deal with small office/home office customers. They use faxes extensively. And when has an OS ever removed features which had it return on a higher "Tier"? Meh.
---That is one of the best features of Vista. Bad sound drivers were one of the main causes of blue screens in XP. Putting a software layer between the drivers and hardware prevents a lot of problems because manufacturers simply couldn't be trusted. I suppose the per application volume control and other benefits the Vista sound system brings are awful too?
Bad drivers of any type bring down OSes. Your excuse is just a cop-out for the real reason: attempt to disable the analog hole. That makes sense, not this gobbledegook about audio drivers are unstable. For that matter, what about: video drivers, ethernet drivers, wifi drivers, USB drivers, firewire drivers, USB device drivers, filesystem drivers ??? If the audio driver issue was the real case, they'd virtualize everything and make everything "crash proof". Keep drinking the kool-aid.
---I wish people would stop parroting this stupid point. The DRM Vista enables you to play things you otherwise couldn't play. You strip out the DRM and there's no difference except you can't play certain media types. Don't like DRM, don't buy protected media!
For now. When will the DRM support SD cards? Perhaps it already does.
The DRM is only the start. DRM is direct access from the companies who wish to control your computer to, your computer. The intent is that you have no say. Look at TPM: you are forbidden to know YOUR private key. Why? What would computer manufacturers have to say about building a system of forced access and denial: they can then sell their customers to whomever they wish.
---5: unused RAM is wasted RAM. So long as it frees up the RAM when a high priority application needs it, using spare RAM for caching can have huge benefits. Don't trot out the power usage argument. The difference in power between half full ram and full ram is miniscule
The time to free+allocate is longer than to allocate. Anyways, my machines are truly multi-user. I need not "allocate" extra ram to run programs. I have the libs allocated, and programs run fast. And my Linux systems can be tuned to use as little as 4 MB (yes, a small dial-up server), or scaled to my current laptop. I have control over my kernel via/proc which I can tune to my hearts content, or leave as default. I run the same OS on my file server as I do on my desktop, as I do on my notebook, and as I do on my netbook.
Can Vista run on my Netbook (EEE, 8G ssd, 900MHz, 512MB ram)? Last I checked, the install size was 10GB... and I can apt-get all sorts of services and daemons to run as a server, if I was so inclined.
Badly composited windows that take way too many resources? Removal of receiving and sending faxes from the home (crippled user) version? Non-accelerated sound system? DRM system built in on the audio and video subsystems? Ram gobbler (2GB.. not enough)? 10GB install with no real apps (where did the space go)? yay solitaire.
When using Windows as an example, the developers do not understand how Windows works. They only can understand by extensive testing in their labs. Linux, on the other hand, can identify what piece of code the offense is made, and fix it.
The collection of bugs in Windows makes it that much harder when there's a bluescreen, general hardware crash, or other really bad things. As far as we know, these bugs that exist in Ubuntu, Mandrake and others still exist as some sort of weird failure domain of certain celestial events on Windows. When they happen, there's hundreds of environmental variables set to trigger the device_killer.
Yuck. That 3rd party specialized niche software... WinBooks. Im sure it's the same with Adobe Photoshop CS3 for the artist, right?
Most likely, it's a non-functioning within Wine. Your best bet would be, for Winbooks, is to just keep it. Instead though of running Windows on bare metal, run it within VirtualBox so that it can be compartmentalized. That's the best you can expect.
The best overall solution would be to find a vendor with similar software that runs natively on Linux or another target Unix, but good luck.
If I were you, I'd just keep things as they were: the users on Linux, accountant on Windows, and graphical artist on Windows/Mac. It sucks, having to support all of them, but that's the breaks. Good luck.
As per defense of Ubuntu and others, the e1000 module was blacklisted until a proper kernel patch could be applied to all versions.
Without the blacklist, the e1000 firmware could be overwritten. Intel provided no safeguards to prevent said occurrence, so destruction of hardware was imminent. Far as I can tell, the Windows driver still has this bug.
And I remember the Mandrake CD-drive killer sequence. Samne damn problem: unguarded firmware update commands. Instead, these commands are legit commands, but were re-used as a firmware update.
Now, how much of these drive killer and card killer commands are also on Windows, but we suspect them as other occurrences, like ESD, lightning, or power surges?
Well, one can squarely blame the HD manufacturers (look at the Seagate disaster) and say they need to fix their hardware.
However, when your stuff doesnt work, regardless who's fault it is, it's still broken. And in cases like Ubuntu vs Windows: it'll work in Windows and not work in Ubuntu. Who do you think the user will fault?
ObUserStory: I bought a T61 Thinkpad. Worked fine in Windows, and not so well in Ubuntu. What didnt work? The right side USB ports. If I was a regular user, I'd remove Ubuntu and put Windows back on. However, Im stubborn... and know that Linux shouldnt go disabling ports at seemingly random. Turns out, it was a ACPI bios bug that did so:( So a BIOS update did the trick and fixed everything.
So yes, it may be a manufacturers fault, but that's not where the blame gets placed all the time..
Too true. I've seen similar to what you say. However, in my education, it is not been book driven and learned in a scholastic setting. In fact, I have no degree to speak of.
First thing is, as you said, a sane security policy. 1 email acct, same login/passwd, security-unconscious snooping owner all causes these horrendous problems. However, I'd also highlight one very nasty catchup: licensure. I'm guessing that he (the owner) bought the machines piecemeal as he needed them. And he probably bought them from different outfits, no less.
One rogue user could turn them in to the Boy Sco^H^H^H^H^H^H^H BSA. Go look at that guitar string maker up north of us, here in Indiana. He went the Linux route with smart terminals from the old machines incapable of running Windows NewVersion. Still, he avoided, after being sued, from ever again allowing that kind of liability in their building again.
As per the snooping email: explain to him that hidden snooping will let him observe without alerting the user of being watched. On your side, create an account, and duplicate every users email settings into that account. Make it only receivable, and delete after 10 days (unless you have a beefy mailserver, which I doubt). I'd say it'd be stupid not to have a nice RAID1+0 server with 1-3 TB storage with Linux, admined via Webmin, but those things cost. I'd wait on that kind of proposal unless you can show immediate gain for him and his employees.
And on the desktop snooping end, install VNC (if you use windows) as a service and "ignore remote mouse/keyboard" so he can watch as he pleases with only very minimal lag seen on the user end. The linux side, if you can convince him to switch, is just as easy. It uses x11vnc and is a one-line command. If you're running KDE, you can make a script that shows a pretty dialog box, asks for computer (ip/name) and logs in via ssh. The linux one is by fair more secure, but requires switching.
And on the snooping, I'd also recommend DansGuardian so he can ban "bad sites", allow them for himself, and have a log of bad sites for each user. This could easily be used as a tool to remove bad employees, in that they violate a "No porn/gambling/auction" sites, it can selectively be enforced. Yes, I do consider a tool like that to be unethical, but he makes the hiring/firing decisions: not you. The more power you can land in his control, the better for you as you support it.
And the Stupid Admin issue: once you put that much control in his fingertips, he will not let it go. Explain to him that if it would be disasterous if his users got a hold on this power.. In essence, scare the bejezzus out of him. Trust me, it works.
Well, GirlInTraining does make a very good point..
I was perusing the local library (piratebay) to see what I want new. I look on the top 10 movies and see the Max Payne movie. I saw at least 15 posts that said the movie was crap but good quality. Other ones said "play the game, not this show".
"Separate but equal" was never overturned. Instead, the Supremes said that they arent equal.
Their judgment left open a true Separate but equal ruling, in which 2 parties (races, nationality, color, sexual preference) could be discriminated against, but under equal grounds. Like bathrooms... (yeah, lame example).
The caffeine is all good, but watch what solvent you use.
DMSO is perfectly fine for the human body, but not some of the other ingredients. Dimethyl sulfoxide is a by-product of making paper in the logging industry, therefore many times the DMSO will be full of nasties, like methyl alcohol and methyl sacilicate(sp?). Most of these uses of DMSO do not require 99.999% purity and therefore are rather dirty with these poisons.
Because of that, I buy reagent grade DMSO and reagent grade caffeine. I've had some people here ask if it's food grade: reagent grade guarantees either impurities be absent or at a known quantity. All I ingest or use on my skin are known with no impurities. And if I do have any problems, there's a logbook with what Ive taken.
BTW: a cure for methyl alcohol is ethyl alcohol.. a large quantity, but only a few hours at most from ingestion.
And also, stock up on activated charcoal in gelcap form. They can absorb all sorts of poisons (think caffeine overdose) while they're in the stomach. They're a good thing to have around, but playing with mind drugs makes one especially safe. But this only works if you ingest the powder (and a bit does go through the skin in the mouth - its a mucous membrane).
I've worked at SBUX for about 4.5 years now, thanks to the wonderful health benefits. Along with that, we get free drinks while working and a free pound of coffee/week. Thanks to those factors, along with my height and weight (6'5", 275lb), I dont even feel a.5g unless its absorbed within 1 minute. It takes about 1.5g for mje to feel it orally. I can thank tolerance for that, along with my body.
As for what I do: I am a network and computer consultant who specializes in recovery and restoration of software and network fault tolerance. I mainly stick with standard server installs, DRBD, encrypted network backups.. that sort of thing. However, when there's a critical failure, Im on call 24/7. Its what pulls in the bucks. And because of that, I hold weird/little sleep schedule.
I didnt have any caffeine tabs. I bought 4oz of ACS grade caffeine from Unitednuclear.com
I either take it orally, or apply it to the skin via DMSO as the primary transfer agent. I bought the DMSO at a local GNC who had some under the counter (both sold as a reagent and solvent - not for internal usage). My average dose is about.5g caffeine with about 3ml DMSO applied to chest. It takes effect about 30 seconds, in which I am very awake. If I need to be awake with a longer caffeine half-life (bioreactivity is about 4 hours), I ingest about 1-1.5g orally.
As I said before, I work at SBUX, so I have access to unlimited espresso and brew, which SBUX coffee is abnormally high caf content. I have been known to drink upwards of 20 shots, which is about 2g caffeine, according to wikipedia:Caffeine. The only probem with that many shots is it tends to burn my stomach from the brew, and not the caffeine. I know that experimentally.

As for what I do: I am a network and computer consultant who specializes in recovery and restoration of software and network fault tolerance. I mainly stick with standard server installs, DRBD, encrypted network backups.. that sort of thing. However, when there's a critical failure, Im on call 24/7. Its what pulls in the bucks. And because of that, I hold weird/little sleep schedule.
Mother forker!
Speaking from the source:
I didnt have any caffeine tabs. I bought 4oz of ACS grade caffeine from Unitednuclear.com
I either take it orally, or apply it to the skin via DMSO as the primary transfer agent. I bought the DMSO at a local GNC who had some under the counter (both sold as a reagent and solvent - not for internal usage). My average dose is about .5g caffeine with about 3ml DMSO applied to chest. It takes effect about 30 seconds, in which I am very awake. If I need to be awake with a longer caffeine half-life (bioreactivity is about 4 hours), I ingest about 1-1.5g orally.
As I said before, I work at SBUX, so I have access to unlimited espresso and brew, which SBUX coffee is abnormally high caf content. I have been known to drink upwards of 20 shots, which is about 2g caffeine, according to wikipedia:Caffeine. The only probem with that many shots is it tends to burn my stomach from the brew, and not the caffeine. I know that experimentally.
