This is driving me absolutely crazy! I can't believe it's this close! I've been watching the coverage since it started and I don't even know if I'm going to sleep tonight. This election is really seriously tough for me because for the first time I've been able to vote that the election has been close.
City governments will give a company a tax break if they expand into their city rather than a competing one. Is that not a government service? Remember, I'm using the term pretty loosely. The rich and their corporations recieve many government services. That's my point.
If anything, the wealthy are less in need of the services of the government, and thus get even LESS for their tax money. Really? I think the wealthy use the "services of the government" as much as the next guy. They just use different services: Corporate welfare Infrastructure Public Works Tax breaks etc. To say that the rich don't squeeze a bunch out of the government is extremely short-sighted.
95A, OSR1)Original retail release
95B, OSR2)OEM only. Includes FAT32,
95C, OSR2.1)Not sure. Either OSR/2 with Y2K fixes or the non-IE-doesn't-work fuck-you-DOJ version. Difficult to obtain.
95D, OSR2.5)IE4.01 SP0. USB supplement.
Oops on a few counts there:
95 Gold was the original release. It's also the version sold as "Windows 95 Upgrade". No service packs, old IE, no Online Services, etc. 95A/OSR1 includes Service Pack 1 which you can probably still find out there somewhere. Then OSR2 (without the USB suppliment on the CD. Then 2.1 which had a new IE and the/other/USB directory. That's the way I saw it go down.
George W Bush is stating that he's not for big government. What is big government really? Is it a government that spends a lot of money? Yes it is. Do we already have that? Yes. Is a President going to be able to shrink it? Probably not. That's more in the hands of congress and they don't want to when it all comes down to it. Is it also a government that's telling you what you can and can't do? Yes. It's that too. We're always worried about Big Brother. We should also be worried about the government trying to act paternal with us. Parents should be allowed to raise their children. That means if I want my child to be able to read oldmanmurray the government should not be able to override me.
You can easily telnet into a Win2k box by default.
You just have to set up the telnet server. Yes, that's even the case with Win2k Pro. The only problem with that is that all you get is C:\ so it's not that helpful.
Less is only included with Linux. You'll have to use More as a pager with NetBSD. Besides, I can't see what effect a pager would have on security anyway.
It's obvious you have no taste and not much more sense. If you wish to revel in your bland lack of culture and convince yourself that losing what makes you different and special needs to be shed in order for you to survive, feel free. You're wrong, though. You are borg and you have been assimilated.
When I was in pennsylvania there were two towns in my area that was about 90% spanish.. it's easy when you move to a new country to move to an area where people are "like you". That's not the american spirit.. keeping to yourselves you say we're not worthy of our culture and that our culture isn't good enough for you.. When people do that they suffer and bring it upon themselves. While you were in Pennsylvania were there also communities of Amish or Menonites who were congregated in an area where people were "like them"? Is that unamerican also? Do you have a culture? Is it as rich and historic as Mexican culture? Are you part Aztech/Incan/Mayan, etc? How many languages do you speak? Are you saying that no matter how good your culture, how happy you are with it, that as soon as you set foot on US soil you should shed everything you brought with you, buy some Nikes and start being an "American?" Do you realize what we would have lost as a country if everyone had done this? A melting pot depends on new ingredients being added. Not everything becoming the same bland color and flavor. If you don't like the fact that a family is forced by socioeconomic reasons to take a big leap of faith and move to this country, not knowing anybody here, and leaving their extended families behind all so their children can have better lives, then I think you're unamerican. These people may come over here and take the best jobs they can, and may be paid much less than the average white male, but they're the cream of the crop. They've actually done something brave, taken a chance, and strived to better their children's lives at great sacrifice to themselves. Consider how you'd feel if you thrust yourself into a country where the language was different, culture was different/nonexistent, and the stupid backwater unthinking assholes were impatient everytime you didn't know the word for "shrimp" or "shirt". To people like you, it doesn't matter that they have money to buy things now, their helping the economy by circulating money, and that they're doing jobs that need done that your average white guy won't touch. This is off topic from the story, but you've gotten so off topic yourself, and so ignorant that I couldn't help from responding and telling you how your not-so-average white guy in Texas feels about your rhetoric. By the way, no, your culture isn't good enough for me. I've claimed the Mexican culture as my own minus the almost obligatory Catholicism, and I feel that I am a richer person for it. Besides that, the food is better, the language fun to learn, and the people a whole lot less bland than your ilk, I'm sure.
I don't know how many people followed the link to the Admiral Akbar roundtable discussion, but it was the most offensive stereotypical crap I've seen since the Amos and Andy marathon was on TCM. Is Samuel L Jackson, one of the baddest ass mofos around gonna say "Lidden here, sucka"? I think not. As funny as it seems, I'm serious about this. If Slashdot links to that will they also link to a KKK rant on how the white man has been opressed by the MPAA and RIAA because of their Jew leaders, blah blah blah? It's not funny. Samuel L Jackson is a black man, but he's very articulate. Slashdot is not "News for Clansmen. Stuff that's racially insensitive." Geeks are thought of as young white males. Will they also be thought of as young racist white males? Shouldn't we reach out to people of other races, lifestyles, genders, etc? At least try to develope some form of social conscience and think of how inclusive we are as a group. Do you think no minorities read Slashdot? Do you think nobody would be offended by such an obvious stereotype? It was not funny, it was offensive to me and I'm a young white male, and things like this can cast us in a bad light. Have some responsibility, and sensitivity.
Isn't that kind of an inside joke for people in/from Texans? (Note that I don't say "Texans")
Aggies are treated here like "Polacks" are elsewhere. Or "morons", or "retards".
People would better be served making fun of Aggies' drinking while building a big-ass bonfire that was badly thought out, even though the school is known for its engineering and architechture. Now that's fodder. Or how about the way they blindly follow traditions like ostracizing minorities? Or how about the predominately macho military centric views they espise?
By the way, the answer is 1000. One to hold the light bulb while 999 red pots turn the house around.
Don't circuits experience electro-migration the higher voltage you put through them? Aren't these chips already running hot? Is there any reason for these fast processors? I think the only reason Intel is pumping up the MHz is because it's all they have to sell. If Intel made SCSI drives they'd focus on faster/cheaper and we'd all have RAID 0 arrays at home. I'm not buying one of these new chips for a very long time. I'm sticking with my Intel PIII 600.
You're not listening, you knee-jerk reactionary. I'm not a zealot. I work with mostly windows at work supporting it. All that I'm speaking of is quite true. It's an issue that was brought to Microsoft's attention, and they didn't want to deal with it. It's going to be an issue all because MS doesn't deal with generic type printer filters but wants a specific driver for each and every piece of hardware. Don't you realise that that's why there are so many driver bugs in each vendor's driver? Each and every vendor customizes their drivers specifically to them. If the chipset/asic vendors perfected their drivers you wouldn't be seeing a Creative TNT driver, a Diamond TNT driver, and an STB TNT driver. You'd just see a TNT driver that works equally well. It's a fundamental flaw, and it's at the base of the issue with the NT printers not working on a 2000 client. Try it yourself and not that it fails completely.
You're calling either Win2k or NT a full-fledged OS? I'm sorry, chum, but you're just plain wrong!
Seriously, we tried practically everything and worked the issue for hours. It reminded me of the Office 97 file compatibility issue.
Listen, you poor little fella. There's a big-ass thing you missed. If the printer in question is connected to a Windows NT system, and the printer is not using the default Windows NT printer driver, or if that printer driver wasn't included in NT and had to be added, it won't work! It'll only work if you install the printer as a local printer using the Win2k driver, then use net use to make LPT1 the other one. It's a big fat mess. And you're gonna tell me it's harder to set up a network printer in Linux?
Where I work, we need to communicate directly with customers and send them files as attachments, etc. Our company has gone the opposite of what you suggest and disabled communication to/from port 25. So we can recieve home email, but can't send.
Well, that is, most people can't.
My employer is likely to sue me next. My cube has leaked a few times. Mostly when I've spilled a coke or some ice water on my desk. It's not my fault that they didn't make the cubicles waterproof!
What? Apple cube? No thanks. I'm not hungry.
Huh? A computer? Made from apples? Like I'm going to believe that after the Potato Server hoax!
Whenever I play I seem to play the same game all the time now. The only game for me is Counter-Strike. It's the most advanced mod I've ever played, has the most realistic weapons, and has the best modes of play. It doesn't matter to me if no good games come out for other genres as long as there's a good following for my favorite FPS.
By the way, go back and play Super Mario 2. That's a freakin' game!
Remember, the Appeals and Supreme courts are where laws like the DMCA get declared unconstitutional. Now that the case is in court and enough people care about it there's a good chance it'll be overturned on constitutional grounds. Even if it doesn't, it's like trying to stop the Niagra with a cork. By the way, it's time to distribute the source everywhere. Post it on Usenet, make more shirts, engrave it on artwork, etc. Write it on the sidewalks if you have to.
The CD does not need to be in the drive if you're playing online. Also, two systems masq'ed behind a firewall can join at the same time. I don't know if it works if those two mathines have different public IP addresses.
