Except that I ran Pagemaker & Framemaker on a Sun workstation back in the day. *face palm* It was so long ago, I'll be damned if I can even remember what model - but it was *way* early 90s, 92/93. The experience garnered me what I needed to get a temp job doing graphics illustration on a Macintosh for the Air Force Academy - on a text book on rocketry.:D See, it *IS* rocket science!
And don't forget Quarterdeck Desqview - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DESQview I routinely ran Paradox, Turbo Pascal, a BBS and WordPerfect all at once. 4MB of RAM on a DX-33. Those so were the days.
I actually had to log in for the first time in 9 months to respond to this. True enough, all too true. I learned to program my OWN games on my Vic20 out of the back of Byte Magazine. And going head to head with the other kids on the playground who had to BUY software for their dad's TRS-80s. Only, my Vic20 was MINE.... not Daddy's - he had no inclination to anything but the bottle. Though I no longer belong to any such cults as so described, my first love will always be Commodores. Tandy's SUCK!:P:P:P I truly miss my Amiga like crazy....but it's long gone the way of the PDP-11.:(
HAH! We're here. We're just as big of geeks as the rest of you boys and have the same issues.:P
Believe it - I spent 11 years in a bad relationship/marriage with said bad boy. And I'm a hardcore ubergeek - do you think I have a clue on how to even begin dating again after all those years. Not like I knew anything back then, either, tho!:P
The funniest part? Everyone tells me how gorgeous and smart and sweet I am - all for not. And yes, I'm staying far far away from the bad boy genre, now that I know the type like the back of my hand. Even if it means I'm alone for the next 5 years.
I have not the slightest clue on how to respond when someone makes a pass at me, let alone how to reach out to someone I do like. *lol* I might as well be a young girl all over again, even with 17 years of career and life experience behind me.
Never forget - just because us girls might not as numerous as the boys in geekdom...we *are* out here and we have all the same problems and hopes and dreams.:)
If I remember correctly (I saw these in a demo last year), when the disk has data written on it, it goes nearly clear, very translucent. Very cool stuff indeed. I'm glad these have finally hit the market. They are HQ'd not far from my home.
I've actually seen these in use (in demo state) - about a year ago. There's a 2 year backlog on orders already with the primary customers being the film industry. So it's gonna be awhile.
What I was referring to was the constant epithets that are repeated in your post that are constantly stated everywhere else on the web. Jackboot thugs, etc. It's annoying. It's obnoxious, and it's downright wrong (as in incorrect). Hence why I used the term 'rhetoric'. Straight out of DNC talking points, man. TNR, KOS, etc.
And like I give a fuck about your userid. Userid does not denote ability to think for oneself or intelligence. It's NOT a status symbol, as much as ya'll seem to measure your peepee by it. Come on now....
Dude... could you use *anymore* Liberal-Democrat talking points and keywords in a fricking post? Jesus H. Christ. It's clear that your response is not your own. *gah* I mean... think for yourself! Your point was completely lost by that rhetoric.
Hey DUMBASS! RTFA for once, you dolt! This happened BEFORE BOOOOOOOOOOOSH. Happened BEFORE 9/11. Happened under CLINTON! Oh, and while you're at it, read the attached PDFs to said article that defines the timelines as being PRIOR to 2001! Jesus... some people.
Thanks Dave, for having a brain and seeing that well, some of us don't live princess poopy-pant lives.:) I've been lucky to have come through as well as I have and I had to learn to deal with those horrible events in different ways. I can't tell you what a blessing such a treatment may have had upon my life - I might actually be normal. Wait.... I don't want to be normal, now.:) But, I might have had an easier time of climbing up to where I am today. Blessed with someone who loves me enough to put up with my bullshit, I've come a LONG way since then. And none of it has been easy or reasonable to put up with either. There are some baaaaaaaaaaad fuckers out there that do far more psychological damage than their physical harm does, and no amount of 'therapy' can get rid of it for some of us. PTSD affects far more than just military vets, too, and when we can learn to accept that and learn to treat it, maybe we can make the world a better place for them and for us.
As a Marf (one diagnosed with Marfan Syndrome) with a high percentage of dying from Aortic Dissection, the death of Richard Biggs (whom I also followed in his days on Daze of our Lives...), it ripped me to shreds. It still does.
*waves* from Colorado next door - I've spent more time burning up my Firefox & Laptop and bank account sending letters, postcards, nuts, and emails to everyone I can think of to help bring us the publicity to put the pressure on CBS.
They stopped shipping back props from the set - that much I know. Carol Barbee is calling for more snail mail (hence the postcards... 1/2 the price of letters), they think we'll give up now that summer is here.:D
I really really want to see this work - it's all so friggin' stupid - my idle-conspiracy-brain tells me that just like some other controversial shows with ratings that there are bigger forces at work here. But I'm a nut case!:D
You know what sucks? I didn't miss an episode live on CBSHD. Not one. Not like it matters... And I think that's the point that we're trying to make.
Wahoo! I just had to say that this is the best response I've seen to these nutjobs. They are running RAMPANT all over SoCal, and people are actually buying their bullshit. Yeah, I know... far stretch when you consider the vacuum of intelligence in that region!:D
As the driver of a V8 performance luxury car that gets 25mpg on the STREET (32 on the freeway) - oh did I mention she's 10 years old - YES they can do this now. Well, you can learn how. I've had to learn to be patient, drive 65, and NOT jackrabbit start or stop. It saves a lot of wear on my brakes too.
Is that to say I don't let rip with all 400 horsepower from time to time when needed or warranted? NO... but it sure does make a tank of gas last a month. And who else can do that in a V8? Not someone who doesn't know how to drive!
Unless you work for the American Indian Casinos, and then you're just plain fsncked. Seriously. I was told to lie to the GAO during budget negotiations. I was asked specifically to inflate the prices of a massive equipment overhaul to retail, instead of what the actual rate our vendors were charging us, even asked to forge the quotes.
I refused - the next day they gave an award for my work with the Tribal Gaming Commission to someone else (who had been sexually harassing me for being female), and appointed the Director of Business my boss - the one who had been telling me to lie. I walked. I seriously dressed up in best and hottest outfit, complete with bitch boots, and went in the next morning - with said vendors in tow - and quit. I told them why, and that I would turn over all documentation to the State Gaming Commission. I had acres of documents on my victimization, bodily injury and physical attacks, including documents with the Sheriffs.
However. I was screwed 18 ways from Sunday. See... as an American Citizen - white - with no tribal heritage... you can't touch them. No lawsuits, not legal recourse, NOTHING. I went so far as the Congressional offices for my state, and nothing. I was hosed. And I was out of work for six months, not to mention suffering massive physical breakdowns. And nothing. So... about a week after we got word from the Congresscritters I was working with - I dropped a FedEx package in the mail to the State Capitol. Within 4 months, ever single person in the IT Management chain was fired. Some remain out of the IT industry. Shortly after that, most of the rest of the dept. was fired for busting through the firewall and watching pr0n at work. *LOL* Yeah... Karma's a bitch.
Know your rights before taking ANY action resulting in your loss of livelihood. Know your ramifications, and for Gods Sakes, have some dough put away, if you can. If not... bust a roommate ASAP!:D I did win the fight for unemployment insurance, but it was nearly three months into being out of work. Three hearings later, I was cut a check...not that it was much, but hey, it did keep a roof over my head.

Radio is cool. It's completely free and I can find really good music on it.
No such thing as good music on the radio. Seriously.

I really hope that I am not the only one to get this. *face palm* I'm way to much of a DP geek to not, I guess.
Since when does technology != magic? :D

Me five. Srsly... I've done this for years and years. Googling my real name brings up too much scary stuff even from before I figured that out. :(

Um, DUH. Read the article.. This happened BEFORE 2001!!!! *head desk*
It will be back... just not until mid-late season. They have not announced a date for the new episodes to air - and it's only 7 episodes to start. :(

Damnit... this seriously needs to be brought back on television. UniversalHD has a glut of programming repetition, it would be a perfect fit!
