I found a funny one while sitting at a Starbucks.. DEATH STAR PEW PEW.. Was planning to use my free two hours on the att node, but what the heck? Wide open, and no two hour limit... Of course, I always have my OpenVPN connection to my home network up and use the squid proxy there to keep me protected...
Same here.. Have a quad core Dell server with 4GB of ram, running Ubuntu 8.04 server, with 3 Virtualbox VMs, two Windows 2003 server instances, and a 2008 instance. Since the system is headless, the command line VBoxHeadless utility is fantastic... Don't know where all these bugs the parent poster mentions are... I also use Virtualbox on my laptop to allow me to run several Linux distros under Windows7.. Been flawless for me!!
I bought a tiny (breadbox size) HP Laserjet 1018 about two years ago to replace my old dead Canon inkjet. The Laserjet was $99 at Frys, and the Canon equivalent to the inkjet I was replacing was about $30 more... Since I hadn't printed anything in color on the old Canon for ages, I went with the Laserjet.. Believe it or not, after nearly two years, I'm STILL on the toner cart that came with the printer. The printer is even supported in Linux...
I'm sure that was tongue-in-cheek, but as we get further into the NWO, this will probably happen... Be careful what you wish for, you're probably gonna get it...
Not if you buy them from the Dell Outlet. These are factory-remanufactured current model and immediately previous model systems that are sold with the full (same as new) factory warantee, and at a significant discount. For example: several years ago, at work we were buying Dell Optiplex GX620 minitower systems, at a cost of approx $950 each. At this same time, I bought a "scratch & dent" unit of the same model, ram, cpu, harddrive for $419. I saw no reason for the system to be classified as a "scratch and dent", but I sure liked the price. I ran this deal past several co-workers at the time, who got similar deals on the same model. The Outlet machines come with the same 3-year warantee that the systems we bought at work came with. Since then I've bought several Inspiron and Vostro laptops from the Dell Outlet and have zero complaints with anything I've bought from there... No, I don't work for Dell, just think the Dell Outlet is the best place to buy a computer...
Ah a stroll down memory lane... I had a cts.com dialup slip account (local San Diego ISP back then.. don't know if they're still around).. Had my first website on GeoCities predecessor, BeverlyHillsInternet.. at least that's what I think it was called... Had a homebuilt 640k 10mhz TurboXT with a cast-off 10Mb MFM full-height drive.. I remember going into work (we had a T1) to download big stuff because the home connection was so slow... Now I come home to do the big stuff on my 12/1 cable connection vs the over-subscribed T1 we have where I work now.... ah memories....
I'm puzzled.. Isn't TPB based in Sweden (and elsewhere)?? Why don't they just give the middle-finger salute to this Dutch (or any American judge).. Of course, I realize that would make sure the principals of TPB be sure to never set foot in the USA or Holland... If this was a Swedish judge, then they *might* have to lend his ruling some credence... otherwise...... pppppppppppppppppppftttt!!!
Umm... Got a Vostro 1400, it runs Win7RC flawlessly, and the nice part? all the Dell drivers for webcam/nic/sdcard reader/wifi/touchpad etc. are all in Win7, so there's no downloading all these drivers from Dell like you had to do with XP and Vista... This laptop has Nvidia video, and it also works flawlessly.. I'm a big fan of Ubuntu, and also have it on this Vostro dual-boot, but I had less trouble getting Win7 installed on this machine than I did Ubuntu.... YMMV
According to my Tomato router (Linksys WRT54GL) I'm using well over 100GB/mo, and all I do online is watch videos (youtube etc), a pretty throttled back torrent client for a few linux distros/month, then leave them up to help out, plus wife has a pc she does email/IM and some watching youtube.. I'm on Cox and until very recently I was always kind of holding my breath waiting for a note from them telling me I was over their 40GB cap.. Now I understand they've raised them..
Thats why I rsync my approx 12GB of data, stuff that changes all the time, nightly to another machine here in the house, and to a USB drive, then once a week, I do an incremental of the second machine's copy to Amazon S3 using Jungledisk... For what I paid for Jungledisk ($20 one-time) and the recurring costs to Amazon (usually under $2.00/mo, depending on how much more I've uploaded and the transfer/requests charges).. That way, I lose the harddrive on my main machine, the most I've lost is one day, and if the house goes up in smoke, the most I've lost is one week. Jungledisk/Amazon S3 beats the hell out of Mozy/MozyPro/Carbonite, neither of which can run on Linux (Jungledisk *can*).
Alas.. that's the sad part.. young people (less than say 35 or so) often have no clue how the US government (Congress/Executive/Judicial branches) actually work.. I blame it on the lack of any real civics curriculum in today's skrools.. In the 50s-60s, when I was in school, the way the government worked was covered in pretty good detail for most years of jr/sr highschool... Hell, even in the 70s they had that cartoon series, schoolhouse rock, that did a pretty good job of teaching how the government operates.. Now, not so much, just liberal indoctrination... We're turning out a next-generation of know-nothings, but who will be good little consumers...
Simple: if a customer's machine is blasting out spam, you direct all traffic from that machine to a walled garden, that only allows access to a webpage where you are notified of the problem, told where to call for more info and a link to download tools to potentially clean up your mess... Makes sense, which mean it *will NOT* be what Comcrap does....
I believe you have your Texas geography a bit wrong... Austin sits astride I35 ONLY... San Antonio sits astride I10 and I35... Used to live in both cities a few years ago...
I'm betting a LOT of the "legal illiteracy" and "shithouse lawyering" you refer to, is based on people's innate feeling of how the Constitution *should* be interpreted, and how I believe it was originally intended to be interpreted by the founding fathers.. It just shows how far we've come from what the framers of the Constitution intended America to work....
"Thanks for your offer, but no thanks. What I will do in regard to this offer, is to first publicize your offer to the whole of the Internet, and then go and buy my daughter another player, which will be ANY other brand BESIDES Apple.. Since we're only talking about a small amount of money, I'm thinking of the damage this attempt to bribe silence of myself and my daughter will do to Apple's reputation, FAR more than the cost of a no-strings-attached REFUND of the purchase price of the unit..
Stupid me for replying to an AC... Those of us who have Pay as you go cellphones (that's the ONLY flippin' way I'd have one..) care a whole damn lot about that 15 seconds of b.s... As we pay.18/min (VirginMobileUSA PAYG).. That wastes 15 seconds that I *could* be leaving my message, instead I have to listen to that crap......
I have about 60GB of *stuff*.. the usual digital excrement, with about 6GB of absolutely irreplaceable stuff, so I rsync the whole 60GB of stuff to a USB 500GB drive, and to my home server nightly, and then once a week do a sync of the 6GB of REALLY important stuff to Amazon S3 via Jungledisk.. Two fantastic products for backing up stuff AND getting it offsite in case of disaster.. I used to use Mozy, but they don't support Linux and even if I was still on Windows, their backup manager is pretty braindead.. The cost for Amazon S3 is dirt-cheap.. My initial upload of the 6GB of stuff and 3 weeks of incrementals after made my first Amazon S3 bill a whopping $3.42.. Now with just incrementals, it averages around $1/mo... Don't have any financial interest in either of them, just like them...

Not to mention, the fact that an RLL/MFM controller will most defiantly be ISA, and.. good luck in finding a system with an ISA bus anymore...

Hell, why does he have to be American-born? Obama isn't, and he's president...
If I was stupid enough to be a cop, I'd have to live with it, being on the "public-tit" as it were...
Well a good response to Apple would be:
"Thanks for your offer, but no thanks. What I will do in regard to this offer, is to first publicize your offer to the whole of the Internet, and then go and buy my daughter another player, which will be ANY other brand BESIDES Apple.. Since we're only talking about a small amount of money, I'm thinking of the damage this attempt to bribe silence of myself and my daughter will do to Apple's reputation, FAR more than the cost of a no-strings-attached REFUND of the purchase price of the unit..
