I want one!!! Think of all the fun you could have on a weekend, roaming the lake cutting down trees, docks or whatever. The oohs and aaahs from one and all would be super and its' all in your very own Yellow Submarine. There, I said it..... Yellow Submarine ah ha!
not to use them. AOL caters to the lowest common denominator among computer lusers. Poor operability, buggy unstable software, but it has the bells, whistles and flashy things that impress the dipshits it's aimed at.
Thank you, I couldn't agree more. I get so freaking tired of u$oft bashing just for the sake of doing it. Everyone is already aware of it's flaws, faults and inefficiencies. Unfortunately there are those of us that are required to run\support Windoze. I think the poster really needs to pull his head out of his ass.
You say that like it's a bad thing. I aspire to sit home play video games and smoke pot. Sadly, in the real world I have to work, pay my own bills and can't smoke pot until I'm senseles. Until I hit the lottery I guess I'll have to work and row my own boat.
I worked at a Radio Shack for about 3 months including the Xmas holidays. Being a person that basically only ever worked in labs I never developed the same skills that some of my friends who did loser support did. I learned not to laugh at the technically challenged when they asked me a technical question and I gave them a technical answer and their eyes glazed over(when all they really wanted was to know if it worked as advertised). I also learned that sometimes you just have to get along with people you'd never want to talk to. I guess what it boils down to is that I had to come to a realization that everyone is different and a little humility when working with someone not as talented, gifted or whatever is a good thing. I met some nice females that weren't as geeky as me and yet we could get along. I still wouldn't want to work in anything but a tech environment, but at least I learned to talk about things that other people like and understand. Again, incoherent rambling......
I do network support (I am not a software developer IANASD)and have been through the NOS wars for years. I didn't like using Novell 2.x and 3.x(too cryptic kind of reminded me of BSD at the time), then I changed jobs and went to an all u$oft shop. Now I'm back supporting Novell 6(and loving it)and a couple of win2k boxes with IIS and running terminal services. It can be a fucking nightmare to get everyone playing together happily, plus you get locked into Bills migration strategies(more like extortion strategies). I'd rather do some(most) of the things on Linux, but have no support from management because "Microsoft is proven technology"(small company, small budget, small minds). Screw the freebies from Bill and Co., Novell treats us very well(lots of free stuff and excellent support)and they work with us on pricing too, obviously nothing is free or as cheap as we'd like(free). I'll take Netware as a NOS and Groupwise as my E-Mail over Microsoft products any day. In my next life I want to be in a predominately Linux shop and try to avoid u$oft as much as possible. Just rambling incoherently.
I gotta agree. I enjoy doing many things via command line, but a nice GUI is really nice when burning music. Actually I like doing command line shit that baffles my end users, I love to start explaining what I'm doing and seeing their eyes glaze over.

You are one lucky /.er. A wife(a real human I'm assumin') AND has a geek sense of humor! Hats off to you, my fine sir!
I apologize, I really meant to say that you should hook up the chatbox with a Beowulf cluster. There we go, a shameless reference, I feel better now.
Go with the chatbox. Keep your $.02 worth in the good ol' US of A where it belongs. Whoa did I really say that?
Face it PR people/marketers are nothing more than used car salesman. Lies, obfuscation and half truths are their staples.
Cows aren't so bad, sheep however just outright lie.
The cows I'm not worried about; but the sheep just outright lie!

Don't let the door hit you in the ass on the way out.

I'm with you. I always say that every hour I work over 40 puts me that much closer to minimum wage.

So now you only fear small arms fire and knife fights?!

You do have to remember to alternate hands so as to equalize the 'exercise'......feel the burn......
Can't we all just hit a bong

Thank you, very well stated.
I welcome my new Philips overlords.
How did an Ohio State football player get a Canadien university named after him. Sorry, I'm a geek and a Buckeye fan.
