You can find me on LJ - but yeah, I agree with you, especially when I have a lot of friends that have them and update their stuff regularly too. I have a question about your account getting hijacked though... How do you update it? At home, I use the SeMagic client, I have a complex password, and I don't ever leave it logged in. BUT! At work (behind 2 firewalls), I have to use IE6, but it's fully patched, and most of everything is blocked incoming and outgoing. I can't even access any of my storage.. which *sucks*.:P
I'm definitely changing my password right now, though. I've always used a multicomplex one.. and I bind everything to IP. Interesting... I'm certainly going to read up more on the vulnerabilities.:)
Thanks! And I hope the weather in London stays well... my girlfriend is visiting there for 10 days, and I know she'd prefer to see her family in the sunshine.:)
Nah... we learned that in the 60s.. and now, those idiotas are the ones who are playing at being managers. Time is running a really interesting article about the '40 year high'... it was an eye opener. Apparently, baby boomers are the biggest growth sector in addiction recovery. Kinda sad.
Would that you could get more modpoints. This is the best post I've ever read on Slashdot.
Case in point. I went from a job where I was in meetings 8 hours a day, working another 6 hours a day to accomplish all of the tasks set in said meetings, but no PHB would recognize that. Stayed in meetings, continued working around the clock to stay on top of work. What happened? I got a bad review for being 'emotional', 'negative', and 'personality conflicts' with my teammates... who were NOT in said meetings all of the time. GO FARKING FIGURE! They promoted the drunk dude, though I had more experience, talent, and WROTE all of the policies and procedures for the entire dept. I walked the next month.
NOW! I am in a job where I sit right next to my teammates... my boss has mobility issues, so he's in his office all day, where I can find him, and he emails us a lot. And we have *one* frickin' meeting a week. For 15 minutes. Needless to say, there are no communication issues, we work great together, and I'm PUSHING myself to stay for 40 hours a week, because we are efficient in what we do. Communication is a godsend for those that know how to do it effectively... and I think that was your point.:) Oh, and I'm only doing *one* job, not four.... and I'm happier than I've ever been.:)
One thing I learned from all of those meetings, though... take copious notes, and follow up in email with the PHB and/or critical attendees. It will help you and THEM understand what was actually accomplished, and you have something to put in front of them when they change the requirements on you during UAT. *feh*
It also makes you a nicer person. Since cutting out HFCS, I am not a bitch... most of the time. PMS excepted.:P:P:P
It's also caused me to drop 2 pants sizes and 10 pounds. Go figure!:D The only problem is... wtf do I mix my alcohol with now? So I found Wild Oats natural soda, and only get it for boozing. It's made with natural cane sugar, instead. It's quite good too.:D
W00t!!!! If it hadn't been for the Vic20 that my dad bought me when I was 8, I wouldn't be here today. I *really* wouldn't be here. I got that, and my life changed forever.
Obviously, you have never held a security clearance, nor been briefed on the experience. I've held one, and been married to two men with level 4 clearances. So, yeah, I think I know wtf I'm talking about.:) Not to mention, my research and studies.:)
Again.... it's called c-l-a-s-s-a-f-i-e-d. The people that know it are cleared to know it, and not us. We get to wait the 10-20-50 years, whatever that the document is set at. Don't they teach you anything?
And don't mind me.. I don't do talk radio.
Oh, and credibility? Muwahahahah... I'm *so* scared. It's not like I'm worried what YOU think.:)
First of all, do you know how to have an intelligent discussion without slamming someone for everything they say? This is like one of the rudest responses I've ever gotten on Slashdot, for chrissake. Not only that, you took everything I said out of context, and screwed it all up.
To think, only the Dems are so stupid. GOPpers are enlightened and always forward looking. *snickers at someone who thinks there's a difference between parties*
Yes, let's get rid of those old fucks too, like Cheney (a retread from Nixon and Bush the elder) and Rumsfeld (a retread from GOP admins past) and DeLay (how many terms has he got?).
Oh, I completely agree with you. I'm ready for anyone over the age of 45 to sit down and shut up and let the rest of the world have a say. Cuz they can't be heard because ancient farts like Nancy Pelosi and Ted 'Bundy' Kennedy won't shut their yaws long enough to listen to them. Notice, this goes for both Republicans and Democrats. I do think that the DeLay did nothing wrong, and that if it is proven that he has, he needs to be hauled off. Remember, innocent until proven guilty (we all know Teddy did it, so hush). Anyone who is a baby boomer is pretty much beyond saving at this point.
And Nixon, he sure did straighten out that Vietnam mess, didn't he. Boy o boy that was a close call, we might have left sooner and not won... refresh me, please, I can't remember what we won from his getting us out so much sooner than those pesky Dems would have. Well, other than Kissinger's memoirs.
Again, I didn't SAY anything about Nixon - I said that LBJ screwed up the diplomatic process to the point where it couldn't be fixed by Nixon. My father and grandfather both served 4 years in Vietnam, and remember the point at which it all started going South, and LBJ was the issue. Nixon was unable to fix it by that time, the VC were fully backed by the Soviets.:( Trust me, there's a whole SHITELOAD of stuff we *don't* know, and won't know for another 20-25 years on the Vietnam War.... you know... this thing called CLASSIFIED DOCUMENTS. (why do people believe they have the right to know what is classified???).
We won the hearts of the PEOPLE in Vietnam. I greeted the boat people from Cambodia/Laos/Vietnam in the 70s in San Francisco - they BELIEVED in America, they believed in what we were doing for them, and they believed in Freedom. But because Nixon was a wanker and a corrupt mofo all at once, he pulled out, and we didn't finish the mission. That didn't change the mind of the PEOPLE. They loved us then, and they love us now, and I can't tell you how many of them are wealthy American Citizens now because of us. Look up boat people. You'll be amazed.
And don't even get me started on Kissinger... that idiot shoulda been shot decades ago. Because of his stupidity, my husband faces critical examination everywhere he has to show a passport or anything because Kissinger filed his birth certificate in TEHRAN. It took us 7 years of fighting with the government to get a copy of it... and he's the son of an Air Force Three Star General (I think four, but I can't remember right now).... All because he was too lazy or drunk to do it properly in Bonn. How he maintained his German Citizenship after that is too amazing, but he did up until he renounced it to go to the Naval Academy..... only because his father was killed in action did he not have the problems that he would have with a birthplace of Tehran. Hell, we almost couldn't come back in the country after our last trip to Mexico! It was *so* our last.
Now, I'm more than interested in continuing our discussion, if you can maintain the peace and shut down the attacks. If you can't do that, don't bother responding. I don't seek to fight, I only seek to share information. I don't even seek to change your mind... just give you what information *I* have to help you shape your ideas the way you see fit.
I've got the forerunner of this transmission in my Jaguar, and I *LOVE* it. And it's driven with the 4.0L V8 engine that they tested it with. It does make a lot of sense, and imagine - me in my 4500lb 4 door (stretched, it's a Vanden Plas) luxury sedan with a 4.0 V8... getting 28mpg on the freeway. That from the SAME YEAR Taurus with the 3.0 V6, that only got 15mpg on the freeway!:P That just shows you the difference...
We should never have gotten into this war, just as we should never have gotten into the Vietnam war,
Funny, I haven't heard that. And I sure as heck didn't see that while watching Iraqi's vote freely overnight in peace in their home districts. Try walking into a Shia mosque and telling them that... better yet: http://thepoliticalteen.net/2005/12/13/gotohell.
Enjoy.
And as for not going into Vietnam - how about just not letting Lyndon B. Johnson handle it? He screwed up the diplomacy that made it so ugly. But let me tell you, from the children that I grew up with from Vietnam - the PEOPLE were glad that we were there.
See, that's where the difference lies - some care about the acts, others care about the people who suffer they tyranny they cannot fight.
The point is to learn from the past, not ignore it, not try to relive it. You blame Democrats for trying to relive the past that you ignore
No no no.... we have *certainly* learned from our past, now if the old fucks would just die and leave office, that would be good, so that some of the younger generation that has sense can make a difference. The Dems want to CHANGE the past, as has been proven over and over, up to and including Memogate, and the 'intelligence' debacle.
Russia -- where regional governors are appointed by the President.
US -- no idea how this works in the US
WTF are you commenting for then? If you don't have any idea how one of the basic forms of government is formed here in the US, what the HELL are you doing trying to bash it? You invalidated your entire post with saying that right there.
Do some research next time before you go attacking things you don't understand!
You're not one of those crazy kooks that think that the government blew up the WTC buildings and staged the whole thing, are you? Cuz um, that's pretty frickin' sad and tells me a lot about the people who believe it.
And yes, I've done the research myself... I saw the idiota on Tucker Carlson, and I believed him... at first. He's a crackpot, a liar, and shunned from his colleagues.
All that being said - there's a LOT that we don't know (like why the commission edited out all the links between Al Qaeda & Saddam for one thing), and I would like to see more about why Clinton didn't act when he was told, and had the power. Or anyone else for that matter. We may not need to 're-open' the 9/11 investigation, but we do need to keep on the look out for additional details and possibilities... for things change, including perceptions.
You hindsight apologists live in a dream world where one can wait years after the fact to go back and redo history. I wonder how you can even survive in the reality of the present where one has to make decisions NOW, not years later.
Don't we call them Democrats?
I'm *so* sorry, you know I couldn't resist that. But um, yeah.... it's the *SAME* thing that is happening in Washington right now. You would think that the Democratic people would elect better representatives. And I never fail to try to remind them of that. They can't provide a vision or a goal, or even an idea.... because they aer so worried about the past. People seem to be rather reality challenged these days. An after effect of too much Apprentice/Survivor/wtfever?
Even after the bombs, the "let's fight to the last man, woman or child" faction still came dangerously close to taking over the Japanese government.
Not to mention that they *trained* every last man, woman and child that was able to fight to the death with sharpened bamboo sticks. I've seen the video footage of this, and it's not pretty. It's pretty damn frightening, actually. I have no doubt that there would have been 500,000+ casualties on both sides of the war.
Sounds like some people need to watch their History Channel. There's a whole lot more said in videos/filmreels than in watered down history books... written by the victors.
You definitely made some good points, that I do agree with. But I also know that they *did* kill students in the square, in addition to the bystanders. And just like the media today, they make the biggest noise about what sells the most papers, not the truth. Is there *anywhere* to look to find it today? Just kinda hammers home the point... "History is written by the victorious".:(
And yes... it does. I try to step up and hold myself to the same ethics, standards and values that my grandparents and forefathers going back centuries did.... not the sh!t my 'parents' shoved down my throat. I suppose that's why I try to make the best judgements based on the most information possible. And in a BFE military town when I was 16, wasn't exactly to place to find the information...... and definitely something that bides more research. I've been studying the people of China for some time, particularly the rural familial structure and home life. I can only hope that they will find their way to freedom soon. I know it is coming, and I think that Beijing 2008 will have a huge impact on China... much more than they think.:)
What reality were *you* in in 1989? Were you even thought of yet? I mean... I *witnessed* the tanks, I saw the blood - albiet on television. And yet, you cite the Almighty Wikipedia. How funny are you? Do you *really* think that in this day and age, you would find useful information about Tiannamen?
Absolutely. Suitepotato, you just said the most blessed thing ever:
They are fellow humans, the people of China. They deserve better than that gang of thugs in power. I wish them luck in outlasting their predecessors' mistake in choosing to empower those creeps
But did they fix the badass memory leaks?:P That's the whole reason I quit using Konfab, because it ate up my memory like there was no tomorrow. *probably* because the Java apps I was running in congruence were stomping all over everything. But that's what happens when enterprise software starts being all java based. *ralph*
When I go to a football match I don't want to be around whiny women saying things like 'How does the offside rule work' or 'Which side are playing in blue again?'
I certainly can't disagree with you there. I would hope certainly that ones that attended would be more knowledgable than that, but I know better. Needless to say, that I ain't one of those.
Anyway if you're blind what do you need glasses for? Better off saving your money for a walking stick or a wheelchair.
Because they are correctable to an extent, for now. But only to 20/60 - which is good enough to drive still! *w00t* But without them, I can't see my hand in front of my face. That's why they cost so much. And I already have the cane, thanks! I just need that spot in my Jaguar door to put it in!:P
Jho
PS: Before you go flaming about consumerism, money, etc... I donate a considerable amount of funds and time to various charities.... especially considering there ain't much left at the end of the day!:P
$700 on a pair of glasses. And they say women have no business sense? LOL. You can get them for like $100 you know...
Boy, you are cheeky, aren't you. Are you in comedic business? HAH! Well, since you wanna be like that... the Rx lenses alone were $650. Hence the frames were only $50. It's called being BLIND. I *wish* I could get glasses for $100 bucks. Hell, I can't even get contact lenses anymore for under $500. *grumble* Mine cost me another frickin' $650.
Nope! Imagine my husbands' shock when we went to buy the tickets online, and oh wait! *doh*. He was *pissed* and then I explained that it was part of the Sony boycott.:D We're with ya 100%!
PS: It's helping me get an SLR camera that I wanted too.:D My current one is a Sony I bought a year and a half ago, and I love it. Carl Zeiss lenses, too. But not again. Not this time.

When I go to a football match I don't want to be around whiny women saying things like 'How does the offside rule work' or 'Which side are playing in blue again?'
:P
:P
I certainly can't disagree with you there. I would hope certainly that ones that attended would be more knowledgable than that, but I know better. Needless to say, that I ain't one of those.
Anyway if you're blind what do you need glasses for? Better off saving your money for a walking stick or a wheelchair.
Because they are correctable to an extent, for now. But only to 20/60 - which is good enough to drive still! *w00t* But without them, I can't see my hand in front of my face. That's why they cost so much. And I already have the cane, thanks! I just need that spot in my Jaguar door to put it in!

PS: Before you go flaming about consumerism, money, etc... I donate a considerable amount of funds and time to various charities.... especially considering there ain't much left at the end of the day!
What are girls doing at sporting events anyway?
:P
What, girls can't like sports!?!
$700 on a pair of glasses. And they say women have no business sense? LOL. You can get them for like $100 you know...
Boy, you are cheeky, aren't you. Are you in comedic business? HAH! Well, since you wanna be like that... the Rx lenses alone were $650. Hence the frames were only $50. It's called being BLIND. I *wish* I could get glasses for $100 bucks. Hell, I can't even get contact lenses anymore for under $500. *grumble* Mine cost me another frickin' $650.

Nope! Imagine my husbands' shock when we went to buy the tickets online, and oh wait! *doh*. He was *pissed* and then I explained that it was part of the Sony boycott. :D We're with ya 100%!
:D My current one is a Sony I bought a year and a half ago, and I love it. Carl Zeiss lenses, too. But not again. Not this time.
PS: It's helping me get an SLR camera that I wanted too.
