Just research 'Judy Owens' (sp?) In the Stillwater, Ok area. She obviously had my phone number prior to me getting it EIGHT YEARS AGO! and I am still getting calls from debt collectors for her to this day...yes, today as a matter of fact. The callers do not accept my affirmation that I am NOT this Judy character despite me being a male with a registered phone number under my own name. FSCK THE TELEMARKETERS, FSCK THE BILL COLLECTORS, Fsck them one and all...and Fsck you and your elitist attitude. It's not all 'black and white' in the real world, deal with it!
With your attitude, I hope the same thing happens to you for you to deal with.
At the risk of mod's (I currently have 10 mod points, but chose to reply instead of mod'ing) I will say this: I DO TAKE CARE OF MY RESPONSIBILITIES,AND ALWAYS HAVE!
P.S. Again, Fsck you and the white mule you rode in on!
Not really. As a follower of Buddhism, it can be great karmic fun to try and convert them and watch/hear their reactions and back-pedaling. Also it can be a comical break from IYMBG (In Your Mom's Basement Gaming) while waiting for the pizza delivery. Where's your sense of adventure? ( clue: sad is a state of mind-where are you at?)
When you get this reply, also check my reply to th First Poster, and take this reply as 'tongue in cheek', but really!.
1. Congrat's for First Post! 2. Hopefully it won't turn into something like "Dear aunt, let's set so double the killer delete select all!!" 3. It's about fscking time!!! 4. It's a shame it has to take 13 months to take effect, as it affects me now. 5. *cue Foghorn Leghorn voice* "It's a joke son, a funny!" 6. It will be interesting how they manage to get around this after the deadline...As they will. 7. I hope my pessimism is quashed, and my hopeful is fulfilled. (not holding my breath)
Spoken like a true/.'er! Thanks for keeping us up to date and this breath of fresh, sweet air. *inhales deeply* Ahhh...fresh flowers and.. OMG!! Ponies! Now let us hope that phase two works in Ms. Anderson's favor also, then we may be able to start seeing the RIAA monopoly crumble, or at least a better business model from them. Both for our sakes, and especially for the artist's sakes.
One of my best friends is a professional musician in a band, and they checked out signing with RIAA affiliated labels.(about four years ago) It would actually have cost them money to sign instead of make them money.(unless by some miracle they became popular overnight) Being smart guys,the band finally started their own distribution in addition to signing with an independent label that allows them to continue to do so. They are making a decent living with their music now instead of paying some label to be musicians.
Well, when you do tip your hand I hope that the RIAA feels properly violated in a most uncomfortable fashion. With your history here, I expect you will share the joy with us.
Keep fighting the good fight for us Ray, your efforts leave me all warm and fuzzy inside!:)
May your ass what? May your ass get jerked up around your adam's apple. May your ass get hit by a truckload of assclowns. May your ass get introduced to Big Bubba, the cellblock nympho. May your ass find itself falling into an active volcano. May your ass find itself attached to a hang glider in a tornado.
I can keep this up for hours, assclown AC. Are we having fun yet?
Since when is downloading illegal? According to you, I should be a criminal for *gasp* DOWNLOADING the latest Kubuntu iso.
I have to take issue with your over rated false opinion, but I installed Open Linux Base 1.1 back in 1992 because I figured it HAD to be better than Gates' POS crapware (I was right). Had nothing to do with 1995- that was still 3 years into the future at that time.
I am not only a NASA brat, but also worked at GSFC circa 1976-1976 for Bendix as a sub contractor at the NTTF facility there. Neat stuff happening then, and now.
Hopefully your daughter can experience the 'cool, awesome, and wow' factor we went through...that job sparked my interest in astrophysics even though at the time I was working in Logistics fresh out of my high school.
Long before I was old enough to think beyond 'Wow-cool- ASTRONAUTS!!-I loved 'playing' in the Mercury and Gemini capsules when I went to work with Dad before I was old enough to be hired there. (circa 7th grade I think)
Dude! Talk to your Dad with your Daughter present. That was a great time for the Space Race! Don't quash her spirit or ambitions....feed them instead!
I would not be surprised if my Dad had not known your Dad.
Rock on dude!...don't deny your daughter, but encourage her.
P.S. This post hit me out of the blue so to speak...and I have been drinking,...But give your daughter all of the facts and guide her in her discoveries and provide her with the facts.
Astrophysics is an interesting and growing field now days. Help her out in the right direction! (my humble opinion-end lecture)
"That said, I frequently get asked by relatives..." Dude! where are your priorities? Family, or FOSS?
I joke with the above- really. However, if you CAN enlighten then,then why not?
The install of Ubuntu or (in my case) Kubuntu is both easier and faster than any version of Windows since Win 95. If you are unsure, then dual-boot is easy as long as Windows is installed first.
Dual boot is your friend...until you learn better!
Fuck your levees, build ABOVE sea level. That could have saved you from billions worth of flood damage. 'Cause we always done it this way' is not a defensible excuse.

But then CowboyNeal would win every election! Uhmmm, I meant poll! Yeah, poll.
"It also spills the beans on the code name for the project: Screaming Monkey."
LOL!
"What's the advantage over just installing Firefox?"
Uhmm...because you can then spank your Screaming Monkey with abandon?

Ahh...I see where this could get tricky.
Thanks for the reply.
When the judge figures it out, can he/she do anything about it? (obviously IANAL, armchair or real!)
The Russians Are Coming the Russians Are Coming...again.
Well, when you do tip your hand I hope that the RIAA feels properly violated in a most uncomfortable fashion.

Yes, but not from 20 miles away.
What do you have against penguins?
Go ahead and send them to the North Pole disguised as seals to protect us from terrorist polar bears...accompanied by a film crew.
Turn in your geek card!
It was Trinity that downloaded the program to fly the helicopter, not Neo.
May your ass what?
May your ass get jerked up around your adam's apple.

Hear! Hear! And if I got to watch the event, I would even volunteer to catch the gators by hand to put in the moat.
Who will bring the beer and chips?

Yes, Linux was around prior to 1995.
*Stupid Git!*
Uhmmm...more practice?
I hope that they can find the missing tapes. :)

BTW, which prop or rotor powered aircraft are you referring to that can fly at mach2? I was not aware that any of these existed.
Well, you assumed wrong.
I have read it and then threw it out as the worse novel I ever had the misfortune to read.
Then why the national cry for help?
As far as the ID nonsense you speak of, reply to your own lawmakers about this load of crap, not me. They are the ones that passed this turd into law.
NOLA? get the news for the rest of your state. it has nothing to do with me or the rest of the country- get a clue.
"That said, I frequently get asked by relatives..."

Not at all, If you sign up with the Riaa, then you can sign over all rights and record to your hearts desire.

Ask your state on how God should have prevented this.
Maybe your god foresaw this shit and was giving you a 'heads up' with Katrina. Get a clue!
