Indeed during the last provincial election (Nova Scotia) and Federal election in Canada I made it a point to vote. I'm tired of the screwups on both fronts. And I will say with certainty that I did not vote to retain the aholes currently in power. End result on the provincial scale I wasted my voted, but federally my party gained more support than ever before. What's ironic is if we left the parlimentary system the Liberal Party would not be in power right now.
You Americans, thinking politics only applies to your electoral college. That ain't the real world! Dubbya already owns you and everything about you. and yes I'm a Hippie Socialist from Canada (hence the crack pot).
As soon as I can make a boot floopy that works (outside of premade.iso files) floppies will be mostly dead to me. I'll still have to copy everything off of floppy and put it on CD.
Indeed I was content to leave the onbaord sound alone on my new computer that I got a few months ago. However when I noticed sound distortions when playing music under OSS after about 20s I got wondering. I eventually gave up trying to fix the problem and put my SBLive! value in and disabled the onboard sound. I haven't had a problem since. That card is 5 years old and proves the maxim "If it ain't broke don't fix it".
Indeed some of my bosses wonder why they can't get a hold of my during my times off. It's for the simple reason that its my time off an I AM NOT going to work thank you very much.
Here here, I'm in computer science and a large number of my friends wonder why I don't check my e-mail more than 2 times a day, or leave amsn on all the time.
It's for the simple reason that I'm trying to get work done, and while socializing when doing the work can help sometimes I still prefer face to face in person communication.

I wouldn't even give a $1 bill a second look they haven't been in circulation since the 1980's they aren't legal tender anymore. I'm not sure about the $2 though that was 1996.

I still have a hard time accepting the butt ugly new bills they introduced to reduce counterfieting. Good gawd I'd love to slap whoever came up with the design. The colors are fine I don't know how americans keep from mistaking bills (yes I do read the numbers but frankly I'd think I'm handing someone a $20 when in fact its a $1). I just hope no smart ass starts putting higher denomination bills into coins. The change pouch in my wallet is heavy enough!
Indeed I live in Nova Scotia on the South Shore. When I was 5 I used to love looking out over the Mahone Bay at the Ice packs.
My Grandmother even told me once about when she was younger people could move a house over the ice to the other side of the bay (distance permitting). Just this last winter when I was home I looked out of the Bay here's my reaction.
WTF?!?!?! Where the hell is the ice? Not a pack or even a small cube from a tray someone threw out to be seen. If there is no proof of Global warming for some people I suggest they look at a few then and now pictures of the last 20 years.
I remember in my astronomy class hearing about a G type star with a Jupiter sized planet some 100 light years away. If I remember correct the distance that planet was from its star it would have the same "protective" effects that Jupiter does for an M-class planet. I always thought it would be interesting if in about 30-40 years when I think it is most of out radio signals would reach that system if we started getting stuff back from them. We could have almost a hundred years to learn about each other before the respective "Hello Other world" programs got sent.
WTF are you smoking, I certainly want to stay away from it. I've had my computer run apache for the webserver for years without having to change anything in the configurations (Mandrake default builds).
Why fire him when you could put him in much more useful and educational positions. Make him a PR man so he has to deal more directly with the shit he's caused.

BANG (the sound of millions of Windows machines crashing from an important piece of software disappearing from existance.
We found out that certain parts of Longhorn were waayyy too secure so it would be impossible for the dumb dumbs ^h^h^h^h^h^h^h^h^h^h regular folk to use. So we decided to axe these parts while pretending that MS CashCow 6.0 ^h^h^h^h^h^h^h^h^h^h Longhorn Windows has become as fortified as possible. Yeah that's right.... fortified as possible.
I seem to remember that changing one entangled photon caused immediate (as in the exact same instant in time) change in the other photon no matter what the distance. In essence faster than light transmission, light speed retrieval.
Are we all a bunch of revenge-warring geeks looking for some deserved payback on the bullies of yesteryear?
In a word YES!! I personally can't wait to crush some of those a$$clowns who made my life a living hell. And for those wondering yes it did help make me a better person, I'm one of the kindest people around until you purposfully cross me and then well check to see if you legally exist after that.

Strange my failure rate has always been 0% of course I might just be lucky.

Try naming the directories descriptively, such as rants, memos, etc. Oh wait Windoze user I ment file folders *groans*.
Gee I just unplug them or let the machine pick it up, less noise that way.

Hmmm I wonder if they cant tell if someone is Wired or not.
If you don't get what I just said watch some anime...
Damnit I should listen to the warnings. Thanks to tubgirl I won't be able to eat anything curried for a while (damn yellow sauce...)

I'd buy them out if I could, and then fire everyone and shut it down...
No no Darl gets the full 10 but the lawyers also have to spend 6 with him, in maximum security.
Why fire him when you could put him in much more useful and educational positions. Make him a PR man so he has to deal more directly with the shit he's caused.
No I don't want to be a code pig. I want to be a code monkey!

As a future Game Developer I would say to these VGAA types, go screw yourselves out of business. I'll fail on my own if MY games suck.
