And the very last thing you can say to a woman you're trying to seduce, is what you really want: to get her in your bed. I think of culture as the commonly accepted answers to these contradictions. Culture seems to be a set of standardised lies that you are expected to apply in well-defined situations. Maybe I am just rationalizing my own introversion/prudishness/shyness but this inherent dishonesty in our culture is one of the primary reasons I can't even approach a girl. It seems too dishonest to me to say, 'Want to see a movie with me?' but it also seems too forward or rude to say, 'Will you spend some time with me so that we can find out if we are perfect for each other?' --
I was denied access, Etrade keeps my $ for 2 weeks

Red Hat IPO Surprise

I started an Etrade account with 5,000 Account went active last night. Today Etrade informs me after I answer their 'profile' questions that I cannot participate.
Here is a summary of the answers I gave that hopefully someone else can use to get a better chance of Etrade accepting them: Income: 40k Total Liquidity: 10K Current investments: 3k Market Knowledge: Limited Investment Goal: Growth maybe 'capital holding' is a better answer here The etrade broker also asked what the e-mail address was that I received the invitation from redhat at.(IOW non-transferability check) Now I have to wait 2 weeks before they will let me get my money back. Sounds like a great deal for Etrade to me.
I have a linux box and a win98box networked together. I play mp3s on the windows box from a fat32 partition on the linux box's disk(partition shared over samba) I've never had any problems reading stuff at mp3 rates(I do have a relatively large audio buffer set in x11amp which probably helps.) Where I do have problems with using fat32 from linux is when I attempt to ls a directory with on the order of 1024 files. ls -l or ls -color take forever and a half because apparently ls is looking for inode info on each file and evidently isn't happy about it not being there. Also accessing those dirs over the samba share is horrendously slow as well. \ls (to get rid of my aliases) works fine. I don't know why the stat() calls aren't just returning whatever the inode values are for the whole filesystem. Guess I should read more of the source to see what is going on. --

And if we are in the 'first world', where are the 'second world' countries?
I've wondered about the etymology of these terms forever. And I've never found anyone that knows.

My family is an organization of individuals. That's why I registered a .org domain for my family website.

Doing a whois to rs.internic.net will no longer give
you the info about a domain on Dec 1st. It will just
tell you who that domain is registered with.
So we'll have to do this until we hack whois to
support it:
alias whois 'whois \!*@`/usr/bin/whois \!*@whois.nsiregistry.net |grep Whois\ Server: |
cut -f2- -d:`'
note: This syntax is specific to fwhois which is what is on Redhat boxen
by default(whois is a symlink to fwhois.)
fwhois user@host instead of whois -h host user
p.s. Is there any kind of group/mailing list that is somewhere
between flux(user level) and nanog(backbone level). I guess I
should look for some kind of ISP operator's list.

cat 1.mp3 2.mp3 3.mp3 > concerto.mp3
The players will just skip the extra header info
between movements and continue playing.
I have quite a few gig made this way.
I like to just put my whole collection on random shuffle, but I like movements to be in order.
