No it didnt'. Another weird thing was the first post below me was moderated earlier to (0, troll), when it was actually informative. Somethin's goofy here, maybe someone got moderator points when they shouldn't have. Maybe I should shut up too.
They were fake rubber bats, and he bit them off at concerts. At one concert some asshole threw a real bat up, and he mistakingly bit it off because he thought it was rubber. After the concert he had to go the hospital and get all kinds of shots for rabies and other kinds of diseases you would get from biting the head off of a bat. He did, however, bite the head off of some kind of live bird, but for fear of being wrong I'll leave out the type of bird it was. He did that during a meeting with executives of a record company. He was banned from that building.
I agree, but don't care. I don't understand how I can be redundant when I posted 2nd either. I didn't even try to be one of the first posters or anything. But ah, fuck it, I don't have a karma of -5 for nothin.
oracle is in what, version 9 or 10 or something? people still buy their stuff. i don't think people are all that concerned with versioning. besides, thats a job for marketing, isn't it?
However, on the 95 vs 98 thing, I have noticed that if I leave my machine on overnight running 98 then it tends to have died by morning.
I haven't noticed that... You know, I installed windows 98 clean on my new computer, and had absoultely no problems (except for the occassional automatic reboot because my processor was overheating, but that's my fault). But then one time from linux I had both dos partitions mounted, and accidentally "rm -rf"'d them. I managed to stop it as soon as I pressed enter, but lost a bunch of system files. Man it ran fucked up after that. But after re-install of internet explorer 5, and some via agp patch (i don't even have an agp motherboard...) everything's back to normal. I no longer see what's so bad about windows 9x, I mean, I'm not using it as a server, or anything besides checking email and graphically altering pictures of me to make myself look all buff, and it's been running fairly good.
Your plan is a little short sighted. You see, I stocked up on guns and ammo, but I also have an underground bunker. I figure I can take the first 30 or so intruders with the blasts from my shotgun, but after the mob climbs over the pile of dead corpses I'll be forced to change out of my army fatigues and into my civilian clothes, and then shout "lets take his food" in an attempt to blend in with the mob. I'll quickly pull one of the corpses over and dress him/her up in the army fatigues, and then claim that he was the shooter. I'll become a hero among the mob, and will assume the position as absolute leader. I'll direct my group to the local armory to overrun the government task forces and take control of their guns and tanks. With my newly armed troops, I will then take control of the region, and later the world.
i'm sorry for coming off as such an asshole in my posts. I just don't agree with the idea that you have that all people involved with linux are so different than people involved with windows. but this conversation really can't go anywhere, so i'll just leave it at that.
to clarify, because that post was made in a real pissed off mood, i don't think it matters if someone's a "windows" person or whatever, come on. Like you can classify people as "windows" people or "linux" people or somethin... what's up with that, really? This guy happened to be a linux programmer, what would you have said if this guy was the C.E.O. of a prominant porno company?
The real point I was trying to make is that you shouldn't be allowed to get something so easily as long as there are people that won't listen, or ask about what drug there is. Sure, it doesn't apply to everything, but it does apply to pharmacuetical drugs. Just because the government regulates one type of internet transaction doesn't mean they can or will regulate every type. Although I think personally a little bit of anti-government paranoia is good in any situation, even though I disagree with the original poster.
It's a good idea to regulate sales of drugs. Pharmacists know a hell of alot more than the average joe about what you should and should not take. Having FCC approval of internet vendors of drugs is not a breach of "individual responsibility", not everybody has the time to research every single drug they take, whereas a pharmacist has and does. Tell your evangelization shit to the family of the man who died because he bought viagra over the internet, took it and died because you're not suppose to take it with a heart condition. Sure, it's his responsibility to know that, but not everybody is as smart as you say you are.
I have a solution to all these liability problems. Blame it on me. I'm willing to take the fall for anything that happens with computers, because usually I am the cause. Every time I walked into the room with the webserver at work it would mysteriously go down. When I'm at work, the sysadmin has to drink an extra cup of coffee to keep with all the problems I cause. Bottom line, making me the scapegoat will solve any and all liability problems.
I had this handheld game, double dragon. i sucked real bad at it. once the batteries went bad while i was on a real high level too. i got so pissed off i smashed the fucking thing with a hammer. moral of this story, don't make offtopic troll posts on christmas, unless you have a real low karma like me.

What in the fuck does that post have anything to do with a troll? What's wrong with you, moderator?

Why would you assume that the makers of this product would have the time to develop their own website? The probably hired some company to do it.
what's Y2K again?

now, honestly, do enough people disagree with me that the television is the devil incarnate for me to be flambait? that was offtopic at best.
Bill Gates is Lucifer Incarnate, who enslaves the minds of children
No, television is the devil incarnate. Bill Gates is just some rich guy.
Thank you for enlightening me and my rampant ignorance.
oh, thanks for clearing that up.... why are you so hostile towards him?
who is Tom Christiansen?

would a windows person think to pay for linux.com's domain? (or other linux related domains)
Would you pay for microsoft's domain? Shut up.

I apologize. I also apologize in advance for any other unsatisfactory grades that you may get in the future.

you can be moderated to offtopic posting anything. just read some of my posts...

what's up with the cheese man? people are gonna start thinking i started posting AC or somethin.
What the hell does NT stand for anyway? By the way, I'm using Opera 3.6 for windows, and it's really really fast at rendering pages, it's awsome.
