More pot smokers need to go into engineering based on the fact alone that they can imagine how to turn anything into a bong including a Cuisinart or a pencil sharpener.
This reminds me of my "tuned" VW new Beetle in Midtown Madness. I screwed around with it in a multiplayer free-for-all, and seeing it whizz by from the other player's camera angle at 800 MPH (no exaggerations here) and seeing run into a building and climb up it is hilarious.
That's when you have to master the 40 MPH carjack. I was such a bastard playing against my brother in GTA 1 and 2 because I would simply jump over his charging car and kick him out of it.
Even funnier was putting oil slick on a road next to the harbor and watching an ambulance with its sirens on slide and fall off into the water.
My comment is more directed towards SuSE and Mandrake - both distros I've used in the past, but have dismissed as being way too buggy, having way too large a footprint for the amount of software installed, and very difficult to upgrade without installing all over again.
Neither are really stable, reliable, up-to-date, and fit for production use either.
At least you mentioned Debian as an alternative. Automated package-level configuration at its finest.
You are using the wrong tool for the job - SuSE or Debian, or even *BSD seems more appropiate for what you require.
I hate it when I see people say this. If he's using Gentoo, I'm sure he's very aware of the easier-to-use distros. You're basically telling him to stop playing chess and go back to fucking Chutes and Ladders. What an insult.
The only problem resulution that has ever resulted so far in the mess that is this site is Michael Sims getting fired and I don't see it going anywhere from there.
That's where I remember Nye from too. One sketch that sticks out in my mind was "This Here Place" (I think that's the name). Obviously a parody of This Old House, my favorite line was where some guy is operating a table saw, says, "Oh, we just eyeball it," and continues to run the wood through the saw. That was when I was in sixth grade. Thank you, Comedy Central!
Well, in all fairness, it was intensive enough that they did have to drop the frame rate down to 30, probably because Namco figured there was no way the game was going to run at 60 all the time.
Yes, he sure appears to be a radical to anybody living in a state that is adjacent to water; yes, past history shows he'll stop at nothing to protect IP, and yes - death in prison happens.
Yeah, when I was learning guitar at around age 15, I was told I had perfect pitch. I didn't think it felt out of the ordinary to identify the letter of a note just by hearing it, but I was being told that this was some amazing gift, though it felt like I had learned it (see below about the keyboard) Maybe I should take music theory when I start college?
All we had when we were growing up was a crappy Casio 5 or 6-octave keyboard with somewhere around 10-note polyphony. The fact that my parents had put stickers indicating which notes were what was probably the major factor in learning my skill. I suppose being able to identify notes still makes a nice party conversation (void if user is a Slashdotter - crap) since I haven't touched a guitar in a few years. Oh well, at least I can tune them really fast.
Oh, never mind. I was thinking of FED LOG. It was a localized database program for finding out what a piece of equipment is by looking up its government standardized part number (National Stock Number)
Oh, god. I think I know what you're talking about. Had to deal with something in supply in the Air Force (Supply is not my regular job) using that program. I don't even think it connected to a network, it just had all the NSNs on a DVD. (Or about six CDs - one of which was always missing at a given time)

I think a certain Mr. Freeman was able to take care of that problem.

Even though Chex Quest came out before the Columbine shootings, people still blamed it on Doom :)
It's the second biggest country on the fucking planet!
Please ignore China, Russia, and maybe Brazil and Australia.

Now it's clear to me.
*Ba-dum-tshhhh!*
This article has been corrected, but the front page text body has it still spelled as "torent".
So for your $2000 worth of equipment you're hooking up, spend $200 on wiring??? YEAH RIGHT!!!
Because you'll be spending more like $700 if you buy from places like Best Buy when all you need is a few component cables.
It's not like this everywhere. In Japan, I just picked up a decent RCA A/V switcher for 600 yen as opposed to the $65 ones in the U.S.
You must be new here.

Isn't this what 'Trused computing' is all about? :-(
Why would you want to grow vines on your computer?
b) The act of emitting radio waves from a broken leg
...that after NT4, Windows stopped including QBasic and the best game in the world, Gorillas, which ran under it.
Well, in all fairness, it was intensive enough that they did have to drop the frame rate down to 30, probably because Namco figured there was no way the game was going to run at 60 all the time.
Because we all know how everybody wants to get their hands on them.
(though the flip-top mod is a great reason)
Yeah, he remembered to not close the source program before pasting. Good for him!

And if you've forgotten Abu Ghraib already, keep in mind that not all countries oppress their own people.
Brilliant! Except the Iraq prisoners there weren't America's own people.
Isn't that exactly what the first guy said: NOT their own people?
