If you spend maybe 15 minutes when you wake up in the morning stretching your body it will help the blood circulate. Moving your body in the ways it was made to move, but never gets to move because you're so conformitive, will help.
And when you're at work its easy to take a few minutes out of every hour to just take a few deep breaths, sit up straight, and think about the blood circulating through your body. This is what brings nutrients to your muscles and removes waste and the byproducts of all the work they do, lifting and moving you around from here to there.
If you're mindful and you pay attention to these things, even for a few minutes a day, you'll stay relatively healthy. And an occational workout would not only be welcome but provide even greater benefits to a body that gets plenty of time to rest and breath.
For a better died just try changing what you normally eat. Don't put yourself on a strict diet, but observe what you normally choose to eat. Instead of going for the soda, think about how much more healthy and how much better it would be for your body if you had some juice or water. Instead of sugar and candy try more fruits. If you let yourself have what you want when you want it and just try to want things that are more healthy for you it can keep you feeling good about yourself while not depriving you of the things you enjoy.
There's nothing wrong with eating a piece of cake or some ice cream. It just shouldn't be a daily habbit. Be mindful and take good care of yourself.
Excessive workouts, starving and other forms of punishment often end up hurting you more than they help. IMO, anyway.
That will probably be the next programming language I attempt to learn.
I love Perl.
As long as I'm using Perl I am limited by the capabilities of the hardware I am working with. If I use any other language I am limited by my lack of knowledge about how to properly make use of that hardware. So maybe its just me.
Actually IPv4 is theoretically enough for any population as paranoid as ours. Who really needs a live IP address these days anyhow?
Everyone is so concerned about security they can't decide whether its good to have a valid IP address or NAT. Who is going to enforce this upon the attackers? Who is going to prevent THEM from using a IPv4 to IPv6 gateway or any other type of gateway into the network from an anonymous system.
The purpose of IPv6 was for creating a network where everyone had their own IP address. That is no longer necessary and not exactly a good idea.
But when we look back on history, having faith in a broken system can end with disasterous results. If everyone believes in the wrong algorithm for society and social values the scales can easily be tipped to distort and corrupt the system. Take the Christians, or Germany, for example, the most intelligent and wonderful people can be easily corrupted by a political and media system and turned into a force of pure evil. Social corruption by conformity, just like today in the USA. Organized religions like Christianity, Republicans and Democrates and GNU are bad, m'kay.
It happens over and over again. When will we learn? When will we do it right?
How can you have faith in a legal system so complex the common man cannot understand it? Do we really need all that? Is it necessary to our existence?
I don't know anything, I'm just one voice trying to flow against a very turbulent river of noise and psychological manipulation. But I think I am beginning to understand it, from my perspective.
A "How to prepare for 2.2 -- Just in case" article would be a great thing for eWeek and similar to run.
Why do you think this?
Who is going to read eWeek?
There's no need to make them worry over something as trivial as 80 lines of code. Unless you enjoy tying the fox up next to the chicken coop.
There's no need to go with 2.2 unless SCO proves that the Linux kernel is guilty of having infringing code. And by that time 2.6 will be ready for deployment, free and clear of any SCO property.
You must think there are a lot of skilled C/C++ programmers out there. I seriously doubt most people who say they are developers are really skilled at any one language.
Its not very hard to learn how to write good perl, and perl is optimized very well in the interpreter. It is very difficult, however, to write good C. Most of us just aren't that smart.
The really frustrating thing is when you realize the only effective way to fight back against SCO for the immediate future is that right to bear weapons of mass destruction clause in our constitution.
A mob of people should legally be allowed to take the SCO board members down to the local courthouse or jail to await a proper trial.
At least that would keep them safe from all the gun-owning lunatics they're pissing off.
I don't like this anymore than you do, but violence is not an option. But I think forced liquidation of the company, its board members and all their assets would do nicely.
No problem. All OSS developers just need to sign NDAs with all closed-source corporations and read all their code and agree not to copy any of it before writing their own.
What strikes me as odd is RedHat, of all companies, understand the Linux developement model. I would expect them to work more closely with the community and get more beta testers, etc. I guess maybe they decided that they make their money off the RedHat name and service contracts. No point in developing a Linux distribution when you're making money from support, eh?
Well, they have done a lot of good for Linux, but I'm very curious what they're thinking.
Didn't Enron expose something horrible about our financial system? And its not just finanacial. Our entire way of life is based on capitalism. Perhaps we need to rethink these things.
But I bet maybe you and I could do it, with enough time, a database of details and perl/expect.;)
There are only a certain number of possible combinations of Cisco router hardware. If we knew their current state of hardware and software revisions, it should be possible to custom build an ios prom or patch the existing os to bring it in line with production.
Well, that's the way I look at these things. Let the software hash out the details, just make sure you get all the bases covered and run the script through intensive QA before deployment.
I bet a Cisco CCIE could do it. They can do anything.
Well, aside from the extremely poor construction of the World Trade Center, buildings like that usually don't fall down whenever a passenger airliner plows into them.
However, passenger jets are not designed to even prevent terrorism. They don't even have a lock on the cabin door. So as far as I'm concerned these jets were not designed correctly. Go back the drawing board and build me a safe way to travel through the air or I'll take my car.
You can tell me all you want about your cost/benefit tradeoffs, but this is my life we're putting on the line here. I'm not going to fly the friendly skies until you can assure me beyond a shadow of a doubt that my life is not one of those tradeoffs you're willing to make.
Does that bring this into the proper perspective for you? Or do I need to repeat it again?
Cars, for example, are far more dangerous than airplanes...
Prove it! Show me your math. I don't believe you did it right.
Want to hear my effective solution? Let the industry collapse on its own weight. Then point at the real cause of the problem. Capitalism. As soon as we can stop worrying about the costs involved and design a plane to transport living human beings worth more than all the planes we've ever built or ever will build, then maybe I'll reconsider. But until you can grow a brain and start thinking about things that are more important than money, like human lives, then we have nothing more to talk about.
Maybe the engineers could do their job better if they didn't have to worry about getting laid off, the wars our administration will be fighting for the next 4 years, Nasa's management breathing down their backs, trying to push the blame onto someone else, etc.
All these problems link to capitalism. But nobody will admit it, will they?
I will say it once again. Create the proper environment for people to work in and they will do a good job. That environment has nothing to do with money and a lot to do with the rhetoric and media they are submerged in as well as the corporate office structure. Nasa, I suspect, is extremely rigid. Perhaps a casual, relaxed work environment will help people think better about the critical issues that kill us every day.
That's why I stopped supporting the airlines or flying since 9/11. If they can't do it the right way and charge the right prices for it, then as far as I'm concerned the market doesn't need to exist.
We're only doing it all for money anyway, so if its not profitable its not my problem. I don't even really want to fly the friendly skies.
Here in America we outsource everything so nobody has to take responsibility for anything. So its all your fault.
You'll be living in other people's property for the rest of your life.
Really? Do you know anyone who owns their home? I don't.
At least I won't be paying interest or taxes for the property I don't own. And I won't have any debts to allow any banks to come and claim "my" property.
I'll wait until I can afford it. The rest of you just lie to yourselves and think you can afford it. That depends on your ability to hold down a job.
Or better yet just don't place any value in someone else's insecure closed proprietary system, like the SSN. I give away all this crap to anyone who asks for it. I don't care what my credit record says about me. I buy everything with the cash I have earned. Fuck credit and fuck you for telling me its somehow important. What do you know.
Nobody seems to know anything about anything, they just follow the herd like good little sheeple. I'm only hoping all the lemmings someday get led to the sea so the rest of us can get on with our lives.
At this point, you are thoroughly hosed for life and even if you do manage to clean it up, it will be hell opening a bank account or credit card because all of the fraud warnings on your name.
Oh, no. You're Brazil-like system attached fraudly claims to my number. Hey, as long as you don't volunteer me for summary judgement and execution I DON'T GIVE A FUCK! How's that for credit.
I'm not paranoid enough to shred my financial documents. But I'll happily encrypt all my data.
I don't trust you. Its not that I don't trust some criminal who might be after my money. I don't trust YOU. My neighbor, my friend, my fellow citizen. Because I watched you vote.

How many times did you have to repeat that sort of clarification? Can you count them on both hands?
:P
Frustrating isn't it?
Well, what's so hard to grasp about it is you actually have to read it, all the way through. Not just click the Next button to continue.
That is less than 48 hours to upgrade the hundreds of thousands (if not million+) Cisco routers across the world.
So do them in parallel.
Hell, give me access. I'll upgrade a few million routers in less than 48 hours, no prob.
And I am a lazy pothead sys admin. I don't even work on routers.
That's why I stopped supporting the airlines or flying since 9/11. If they can't do it the right way and charge the right prices for it, then as far as I'm concerned the market doesn't need to exist.

I mean isn't "American thinking" an oxymoron?
Time to move on and leave all these luser behind.
