then i bought an 89 coupe deville and was magically transformed into a well rounded, happy individual.
I was also the only person in my high school to ever be chased by a police chopper cause i was going too fast for the squad cars to catch up
then i come to school the next day and like 50 people drove by me pulled over with 5 squad cars behind me, and were like, duuuuude whatd you get pulled over for?! did they catch you with shit in yer car?! and i was just like, nah, they couldnt clock me so they just gave me a ticket for 100 in a 55.
I see these hybrid cars and how they advertise like 80mpg, but do they actally have any power?!
I drive a 1989 Cadillac Coupe DeVille, and it makes like 11mpg, but it BURNS. its supafast!
I really like the idea of deisel cars. They have better mialage, have much more power then these wacky hybrids do, and are easyer to maintain and work on.
The only person that doesnt win with diesel cars it seems is good ol mother nature. So why not invest a little resarch into makeing them cleaner? i have no doubt that diesel cars could get a lot cleaner then they are.
With gas prices at over $2 per gallon, and my car needing premium gas, im ready to start taking a go cart to school.

Reading this, i would love to blame the school for this childs suicide, to say that the principal manipulated his fragile mind, but that just isnt the case.
For a kid to kill himself over somthing like this (which really isnt that big of a deal in the long run), that kid has to be unstable to begin with. This just brings it out, but it would have happend eventually even if he hadnt been caught and/or suspended.
Seeing things like this always breaks my heart, because many times, extremely mentally gifted kids really lack *vital* social skills that allow them to be successful, and sometimes,(like i think in this case) a certain grip on reality that prevents them from doing things like this.
This kind of thing really makes me think I never met, knew or even heard of Espy I dont use debian, and prefer other distros to it greatly
But I still recognize how great of a loss to the community this is, and it is just amazing how things trickle down with open source. Though i dont use his code, the changes he made with Debian inspired changes with the distros that I use and with other open source projects
Im sure Espy will be remembered fondly by all, and his contributions to our open source community that has givin so much to me were great -Joey
I dunno, ive used ce for awhile now started on a B&W nino, which i crushed got a color one, which got crushed got a new one, which i used for like a week now i got an HP Jornada 545, with the awsome metal flip cover. this is one tought little frobule, and ahs 133mhz sh3 and 16mgs ram, and a pretty nice 12bpp display and i was really suprised with wince 3, it actually is real nice -joey
I agree! i started with a nino 300, then got a 500, and now got a jornada 545 Wince 3 is *very* nice, much better then palm, IMO i like it a lot and it helps me organize my crazymadhectic life;)
I have a kodak DC 215 and im QUITE ipressed with it i got the special millenium edition, which coeted a bit more, and you cant git anymore. the only diff is that it comes with an 8mg CF card instead of a 4, and it has a cool shiny glodlike case. but the normal DC-215 is a GREAT bargain, its a great camera for $300. good resolution, good loooking images, and its a pleasure to use. i would recoment this camera like a crazy mofo. and the higher end kodaks like the DC-240 are even nicer, with bigger optical zooms and such but for its price this camera is an incredible deal -Sham
Ive been involved with lazarus for 2 years. unfortunatly, its a mostly windows based operation, seeing as its funded by microsoft (hey there not about to comlain). if your interested in helping the foundation, email me at joey@13thstep.org and ill set you up

get the kid a job so he can buy a car.
i was an unhappy geek in high school
then i bought an 89 coupe deville and was magically transformed into a well rounded, happy individual.

that was a jolly good time
i was one of the SO cool people in high school
and i probably beat you up.
and stole your girlfriend (if she was cute)
and i dont pump gas, im an engineer.
See, it is possible to be cool and be a geek simultaniously. you just gota be GEEK-COOL (tm)
disclaimer: i didnt really beat anybody up. as for stealing girlfriends, i take full responsibility.
