Most of us move on to the big boy's toy store. Like Tractor Supply where you an get a Red Rider BB gun. Then when you grow up even more move onto the big stuff. Farming farms with tractors or running big corporations. Get into golf, go to places where you can shoot real big guns. Even tanks. Kind of sucks after that. You get too old, get pushed out by young bucks, don't even want to do fireworks any more. Have to give up golf, then you die. So never get to that point. Keep playing golf.
Do you backup your stuff? I do, two different external drives and they are switched into the safe. So does my wife and it has saved our butt. I have to admit, the Mac backup really is great. We blew a disk drive. They replaced it, loaded the OS and I think about 3 hours or so later it was all back exactly as it was. She had an up to date backup, no loss at all. We were even on vacation.
I can get my Linux desktop back, no where near as easy though.
You just didn't know it was hacked. That much is clear. Besides, they didn't even have windows 30 years ago, as such. It was an add on to dos. To get a real widows OS you would need something like a Unix box running X11 or MacOS. Windows was just a toy really back then. It wasn't until 95 that windows really was onto its own.
Don't think you're safe today. It's easy to hack a windows box if you know what you're doing.
Don't worry, they're trying to ban Trump from the ballot all together. I think 25 states want to do that so far. So it's never been a better time to be a Democratic candidate. Want to be the big cheese? Run!
Just be careful. Like Trump, you may get it. Then what? Nothing you do will be ok.
Think that is BS, you should get into the way we used to do toll calls. Say if I'm in Baltimore and I call my bookie in San Francisco, you'd think that is a straight shot? Well all of those cities between Baltimore and San Francisco have these phone lines going through them. They are money grubbing politicians so they insist on a toll to use it. This is why I could call my bookie three days in a row, for exactly the same amount of time and get charged 3 different rates, depending on how it was connected.
I used to work for MCI and we had to keep track of all of that crap. Every little junction and rate it. Cha ching!
So what you're seeing is a bunch of people with their hand out. Probably a lot of local politicians that make them name it something else so they don't get the heat. Environmental benefits charge or mayor cotton picker's re-election fund. Not saying that this is what that is, however it wouldn't surprise me in the least.
I often wonder if the internet has ruined people as a group. It turns people toxic, the worst part is so many people buy into things said on the internet like it has to be true. Just like how TV used to be, before the internet.. I grew up at the same time the internet did, I started on it in the mid 90's as a kid thanks to my father, and it quickly became my favorite "toy" because I could learn things, and I could make things!! The internet was a wonderful place then... And then in 2000 it started to go down hill, computers were becoming more common, and easier to afford. The large influx of "common" people helped ruin the internet. That's when companies saw the flow of money the internet produced and they worked hard to dumb it down. But I guess that's just like, my opinion man..
I go way back. 1970s. Modems, bbs, computers I had to dial into. I remember when they merged a whole bunch of networks into the internet. In college we had network news. We had what we called the flame. Someone would say something and someone else would pound them, being a jerk. That's where Godwins law came in. Seemed like everything ended up - you're a nazi. It was just how fast that happened. "I fixed the bug in Make. It wasn't written that well right here. It works well now" -> "You're an asshole, I wrote that code and you have no idea what the hell you're talking about! Why don't you go back to your mama you Neanderthal." If you were female, it could get a lot worse. Professionally e-mail could be a problem. You don't know if the person is joking or really did call you an ass. I remember a woman in England wrote a letter that I thought I was going to get fired over. I checked in code that had a bug in it. OMG she ripped me. We called up and she said - no big deal, just wanted you to know there was a bug in it, honey! My boss and I looked at each other like WTF? Ok, thanks, good bye. One of her people did the same thing a week later. Bill simply changed the names and sent it back to her. It was 1992, just before George HW Bush signed the internet over to the public. Since then we see more stupid people on the net. Now any one, even an idiot can get on. I know because I know someone that really is an idiot IQ wise and they're online. Facebook mostly and of course they're liberal. Insert joke here. Look it up sometime. There really is a definition of idiot, imbecile, moron. I know people that are actually diagnosed as crazy, they're on as well.
Being modded troll gets me sometimes. I think there is one individual doing it, mostly. Bad part of/. You can look for posts from certain people and persecute them. I try to just mod up. Sometimes when I see someone really is a troll, have to mark them as a troll. I used to worry about it. However my karma is still good. So troll away... I wish more people would tell the truth. We really need to do that. Don't let them win because people will believe them. Lincoln used to say a lie is already around the world when the truth is still putting on its shoes.
These people are crazy. We used to institutionalize them. Problem was a lot of people didn't belong there. They were crazy but not a danger to other people, animals, things like that. They closed the institutions and now we have lots of crazy people on the street. Just work retail sometime, or go to a walmart. Sometimes you can see crazy on display at a walmart.
Oh yes. The OS that a man worked for apple for free to port it over so BSD wasn't relegated to history.
They should have said - no thanks and moved to Linux. Really bad decision on Job's part. It's really too bad. They would have SELinux, a far more secure kernel, etc.
I did win a bet, however. A stupid professor from U of California said that the old Mac windows system didn't have an OS below it. Argued like hell with me. Then they announced it was being moved over to BSD. Yea, shut him up.
I don't quite understand that, they claim to love America, yet they want it to fail, and they're cheering it on it seems..
Deception. Lies. If they came right out and said - we want to destroy America, do you think they'd get far? Yes, we want to increase your debt as much as possible so we can ruin your country and everything it stands for... probably wouldn't be that many takers. How did Hitler do it? I'm going to make Germany rise out our ashes. We're going to be something again! How did Stalin and the Russians do it? Same way. Hell, how did Castro do it? Same way. He was a buddy of the US until he got power. He was a vicious killer. So was Che Guevara. It is kind of funny that Obama was like a movie villain. Telling us what he wanted to do before hand.
So look at what Obama did. He more than doubled our debt from 7 to 21 T and set entitlements up to around 100T. Nobody can pay that off. That's more than all the money in the world. Civil strife. When GW Bush left office, sure we had a shooting here, incident there, mostly nothing. After he left we had Trayvon Martin - a kid that tried to kill a man and was a known local thug and was killed. He sent people down to stir things up. It kept happening. He started packing ideologues into judges jobs, prosecutors, etc. Sotomayer - yea, she shouldn't be on the Supreme Court. That was a payback. Then there is what Obama did to other countries. Took out Libya and kicked countries below it so they crapped many thousands of next to no education Muslims that looked like an invading army sans the military gear into Europe. By law they were supposed to be taken back to Africa, not Italy. He tried to topple Egypt and fortunately they stood up and put the muslim brotherhood mad dogs down. He hurt us big internationally to the point China snubbed him and Greece rioted when he showed up on his farewell tour. Hardly a word of any of this in the press. He tried to tie everything up in regulations. Thousands and thousands of them that would have meant he wouldn't have been re-elected if they saw the light of day before 2012. Every day he tried to find a new way to screw us.
Then there's Europe. Where you can't tell what the muslims are doing in Germany or your somehow racist. England has gone nuts bashing their own citizens to cater to muslims. Hear about the nazi saluting dog? You can't make this stuff up. Hitler himself didn't have a problem when it was done during his time, yet England found a guy guilty of making fun, of Nazis. Really. You have to read it to believe it.
It's like - WTF happened to sensible people? Did electronics turn all of our heads into mush? Seems like for a large portion of the world the answer is yes.
I have to wonder, maybe 2012 was the wrong end of the world date. Maybe it's really 2022.
He was a politician like no other. An activist filled with hate. He despised America. So do most Democrats. Try reading it - http://library.aceondo.net/ebo... Then you'll understand what "fundamentally change America" is all about. Suspicious of that one? Chose another site. Go ahead. If you read it you'll be shaking your head and say WTF? We elected him. He'd make probably the best used car salesman imaginable.
BTW, The US is not just another country. Despite what you think. We're #1 GDP, we are the only super power in the world. The US influences the world throughout. Clearly. I have to wonder if you live in a cave or something? No other country has sent a man to the moon. Remember that? Do you see Germany or France dealing with a guy like Kim Jung Un? I'm amazed that you would think that. I've hosted kids from Germany, France, Argentina. Every one of them said they would *LOVE* to be an American if they had half a chance.
I'll ask you the same thing I've asked a lot of people. If I could set time back to before you were born and I could place you anywhere in the world, born to any race in the world, where would it be and what would you be? You can't change the date of your birth. In my case it's a no brainer. USA. I'd not even care which race. I could deal with that part. In fact being black is a hell of an advantage. As long as I can keep my IQ. Being any race and being stupid is no fun.
He wouldn't do it if he wasn't sure he'd win. You're listening to what you're being told to think. Instead think. The man has holdings around the world. He knows all about trade and how these things work. He's actually a businessman instead of politicians that don't even know the difference between a million and a billion. Maybe you like the high Dairy tariff Canada has on the US? They've been unfairly hitting us for decades. We've been lied to big time, by both parties.
Trump may unfairly get the blame for the slump but he is the one who tells everybody he sees that he singlehandedly made the economy boom. He did nothing of the sort, in fact he made it boom slower and less, so he deserves the blame for the slump.
What are you smoking. Must be something. Obama couldn't get the economy to do anything, in fact if you read his book he wanted to destroy it so the US would be just another country. Nothing special. Before you even think about mod me down, read his book and learn. Truth hurts sometimes.
This place is either crawling with Trump supporters or Americans have severely defective sarcasm detectors.
Wake up and look at some real news because MSM certainly won't tell you just how well we're doing. #1 in GDP, unemployment is at a 40+ year low, black people have never done better, consumer confidence is at an all time high. And so on. That's why the Democrats are making up shit like the fake child separation crisis from pictures taken during the Obama administration.
I didn't want him to be President, however I'll take the success. Only really stupid people want him to fail for their ideology.
Don't be so harsh. I still maintain a 2001 Win XP box for video editing using the old NTSC format. Has adobe premier pro with the DVD creators and such, which Adobe doesn't even make anymore. IMHO a stupid thing since a lot of people like DVDs to put away for long term storage. Machine is not connected to a network and it's turned off most of the time. When it dies, that's it. I think I saw the grim reaper looking at it last month.
Slashdot Mirror
Studies have show that /. isn't the place to promote good hygiene.
Go back to eating your cheetos and wiping them off on your week old underwear.
Ewwww.

So never get to that point. Keep playing golf.

Time to buy tron. Much better model.
Some viruses are hard to remove
Spending one day looking into something is now called "researching heavily".
I know, I thought that was funny too. Probably someone under 20. Then there were all of those pesky instant messages on their phone.
Do you backup your stuff? I do, two different external drives and they are switched into the safe. So does my wife and it has saved our butt.

Sounds more like it's amazon-subway. Subway really screws their franchisees.
I bet a lot of people will get hurt by this.
3 times is very common!!!
I see it all the time!!!
Haven't you???
I think 3 times is the goldilocks point, juuust right!!!
Now fill that out in triplicate.

McCoy's line was - "He's dead Jim."
OMG, Obama's admin pushed like they were pushing a beech ball through a 2" pipe. The told the Military to do it. Still dealing with that crap.
The e-mail users that I have posted to a public area are all on that list, no pastes. So they don't have my password. Same as slashdot's postmaster.
