As a matter of fact, yes. I have been shot at and I returned fire.. All in All, I still think the tech support job I have is the shitiest job I've had and the Marine Corps was one of the best. If I wouldn't have been injured (different situation) I'd still be in.
All I can say is. If I'm responsible for my kid til the age of 18, I wanna make damn sure that I know where they are, what they are doing, who they are with, what time they are going to be back etc...
I'm a fan of Knoppix and Mandrake.. just give Mandrake Move some time.. this is only their first release of their live distro.. how many has Knoppix had by now?
The main problem is that Lincoln is a college town.. College students are not well known for their "Use of judgement". Now there are exceptions to this rule but for the most part they are pretty much an act before you think bunch of kids... And yes i do live in Lincoln, Nebraska and I have to deal with these "children" er ehem.. college students on a day to day basis and more often then not the wheel's spinning but the hamster is passed out...
If you know the downtown bars her in Lincoln Nebraska. Then you will know which bar(s) she has posed in just by seeing the tables. Lincoln Nebraska is a college town with about 250,000 people with many many bars located withing walking/very short drive of the University of Nebraska.
Good thing I use DSL with a Cisco 827H router... and I work for my isp which has better things to do than listen in on customers... We don't care if people run servers, share their bandwidth etc.. just as long as they pay their bills and don't spam then we are good to go.
What they will do is secretly incorporate many features of Linux into windows and then silently acquire patents. Then when the time is right, they will come out of their corner with copywrites and lawyers to try to dismantle Linux.
Yeah well drop your IPOD on the cement and watch it shatter into a thousand pieces, and well.. for just a few more bucks a day you can re-download all those songs again to your new IPOD that you had to shell out another couple hundred bucks for. My question is.. Once you've paid for the song do you get to download that song again, as many times as you want after that for free? Or do you have to keep paying?
The only problem would be when the pupil adjust sizes for different amounts of light. But still a very good idea... maybe just a portion of the iris... kinda give you a strange looking eye though.
It'll be yet another thing for the 'rich' to have so they can impress thier other 'rich' friends. It's a status thing.... Rich people, they are so shallow and delicate. Send them to the poor house and watch them wither and die.......
I know in alot of grocery stores the little hand baskets and the plastic on the carts are using some plastic called Microbiotic (or something like that) Couldn't they use the same stuff on cel phones? Anyone know more about this?
Actually it does hurt those that are "tech saavy". Just think how many times you have had to fix "mom and dad's computer, grandma and grandpa's computer, your sister's/brothers, aunt's/uncle's, friend of the family's...... etc computers.. always on your day off or when you are trying to get something else done, or trying to play a game and someone cannot get to pages because they keep getting attacked by 500 popup windows..... You know the routine, you have to go fix it so they will leave you alone for a day or so until they screw something else up.
I do tech support for a living, I don't want to do it on my time off.:) [END RANT]
[snip] As the RIAA's "sue your customer" campaign begins to run into stiffening opposition and serious procedural obstacles it may be time to think about a "Plan B". A small levy on storage media, say a penny a megabyte, would be more lucrative than trying to extract 60 million dollars from a music obsessed, file sharing, thirteen year-old.
So that means your log of 100 blank CD's would cost you $800.00 for the "small levy of a penny per megabyte" plus the actual cost and tax so for the small price of around $8.20 to $9.00 per CD you can copy any album you want.. What a hell of a bargin.
And just what is Joe Schmoe cop suppoesed to do? Write down the internet address? They are more apt to arrest you for having kiddie porn on computer. They are mostly a technology handicaped bunch. If you were to inform someone, inform your ISP's abuse department or if you must inform the authorities contact the FBI. But remember that you are taking your freedom into your own hands. It seems like the "law enforcement" agencies are always on a witch hunt and don't care who they hurt in order to further their own agendas.

There are just some things that shouldn't ever be invented/created/thought of.
But I thought that the RIAA owns all music ever written past, present and future even any sounds that are not even close to music like RAP/Hip Hop. :)
And don't forget pushing the car will also give you some well needed exercise..
Because you need to lighten up or you are looking for something to bitch about. I'm thinking you are somewhere right in the middle.

I second those remarks.

I don't have to worry about it.. I can't afford to buy these "luxury" cars. My last vehicle cost 250 bucks... OnStar could care less... :)
I would love to hear this :)
Yeah, if you find out let me know...
Just imagine a beow...... er ehem.....

Someone has been watching too much Dark Crystal. :)

The will probably pay out their fine in AT&T Store vouchers the way Microsoft did.

If worst comes to worst you could always use a USB ethernet device, but one thing that would really make this thing nice is a PCMCIA card slot(s)
