How about BBC world news? That's "real" news without any slant and it involves the whole world. Or actually check out the McNeil/Leher News Hour were you will hear both sides of the discussion.
Except that we have the balls to post with our names and not as AC. As for a "boot in the face" look in the mirror asshole. You helped elect the Bushies, not me.
I've NEVER voted for a Republican in my life, so you can't blame the Bushies or Reagans on me. When the Iran-Contra scandal came out that we were trading arms to terrorists in lieu of hostages I knew right then that the right-wingers had taken the Constitution and wiped their ass with it. It has been downhill since then.
Since your rant left out what has your generation done and only criticized mine, I'll give you another shot . Could it be the Media's-(all staffed by younger folks than me) love affair with all things trivial and not one bit news-worthy be the bane of so-called news? Look at all the talking heads-Ann Coulter ring a bell?
You tell me that we have the biggest slice of the pie-(and maybe we do) but we worked for it at those menial jobs also. Your generation seems to think that they should go right to the top with little on no work experience or life experience. And being young gives you no more insight and clear thinking. Remember we were ALL young once and thought the exact same things, nothing new there, Sparky.
As for Marilyn Manson, et al. we had Alice Cooper, Black Sabbath who our parents hated just as much, and they blamed all the terrible things on them also.
Please tell me who "the powers that be" that stopped the Vietnam War? Evidently it isn't you or you would have named them. Ever heard about the 1968 Democratic Chicago mess?
As for the paleolithic 60's in music will any of your fly-by-night wannabe bands ever last as long? Not a snowball's chance in hell. They are retreading the same stuff over and over trying to create something new-here's a news flash-it ain't happening Britney.
So take your thumb out of your mouth, and shut your mouth and DO SOMETHING with your life! Because actions speak louder than words. Buh-Bye young whippersnappers.
As a over 50 guy, I guess we will have to re-educate you as to how you received life. Since you are posting here you are probably a product-(as are most of the smart-assed comments here) of a boomer. We stopped the Vietnam War, gave women and minorities the same rights as everyone else, won the space race, gave you the ability to even post your snarky comments due to the fact that we pushed technology forward. These are just a few of the many things we have contributed to the greater good. Now please tell me what your chicken-shit generation have done except sit back on your ass and whine about how shitty every thing is. The difference between us and you is when we seen something that was wrong we DID something about it!
I work for the Army Corps of Engineers in NOLA and Lockheed just got a contract for the entire Corps IT system. The government IT people can't even get Lockheed to talk to them on an on-going basis. I think they are more interested in sub-contracting most if not all of the work to other people and just collecting the money as the prime contractor and not getting their hands dirty with the real work. They are proposing a seat-management type of system but have done no planning for such a complete reversal of what we have now. As a result, I feel within a year they will get booted and we will have to undergo another contracting out of our IT services. If anyone wants to see how well they have done at other govt projects, cast an eye to some Coast Guard ships that they lengthened and now are so un-seaworthy that they can't be moved from their berths. All the while Lockheed got paid and are not returning any money to the taxpayers for this debacle.
Your problem was you didn't have an entire system set up for compiling code. And as a so-called sysadmin I guess you're not smart enough to know that SOMEONE has to compile the code! It just don't appear out of the blue. And if you are that lazy, install Windows.
--All that tells us is that Gentoo 64-bit support sucks.
Sorry, but Gentoo is one of the few Linux distros that 64 bit actually works and works well even for desktop computing. Win2003 can't even use more than 8G while Linux can use 64G or more. Next time before you hit that "enter" key know what what your'e yacking about. Sheesh!
Gee, I guess dealing with faculty really qualifies someone to clean up one of the biggest disasters in US history. You younger children have to see further than your own little world when choosing someone to deal with large problems-as in world problems. This generation seems to know all the smart and snappy answers to things but really don't have a clue. But this is not new, back in the sixties, we knew all the answers too. After living life-(which you can't force feed), you will have a wider scope of knowledge on which to make serious decisions.
My, my my. You poor uneducated fool. I bet that "government forces the average taxpayer to give money to NPR" really puts a hole in your pocket so you can't seem to feed your family. Sheesh, compared to what they are wasting on Iraq, Alaska bridges to nowhere, and other tripe, it's a pittance. If you are fed up with government waste of taxpayer's money, go after the things that will make a REAL difference, not whining about NPR which actually provides useful news about the world we live in. I learned about Darfur on NPR one year before the rest the lazy-assed media got on the bandwagon. The next time you post put down the KoolAid jug a full twelve hours before you post.
emerge..... does better than either one. Don't have to worry about flaky mirrors (has Mandriva ever figured that out?), or a multitude of dependent packages that I don't want to install, but have to because of poor linkage. What ever distro is out here, I like to have control over what programs I want to have installed, and not to have a bunch of dead hard drive space filled with junk I'll never use but have to have installed due to piss-poor package management
The only thing that is stupid is your anon comments. What about the businesses and residents that live here? FYI, the cost for replacing the copper is the same as fiber, so just are we to do to please your ignorant ass? Here's a heads-up, the people that live here-(ME) don't give a rat's ass about anybody's opinion about why we should do this and why we should do that. This is our HOME and we will do as we see fit.
Amen to this. I'm 50 and changed careers after 30 years in the auto technician field. I learned computers, networks, and Linux on my own to start a new tech career without going to college. You just have to love what you want to do and go for it. As some other poster put it "You only have one life" so get busy!
I guess that hot rodders of my ilk have been just reverse-engineering cars that we have shaped and molded for the last 40+ years invisible by your standards. Cars simple? Not so my young friend. Have you ever seen a Top Fuel dragster run 320+ with their complicated air/hydraulic timer clutch management system? I think not. All of these were "engineered" by hot rodders from the original systems and then took off on their own. Stallman is doing the same with software and computers. You might not like the "car" analogy but until you understand it fully you shouldn't use it as an analogy.

I'll just have to inform yer ignorant ass that I'm a lifelong Democrat-(50 years), that I work with the black folks every day and we are the ones rebuilding this city side by side. Evidently you haven't been here or know nothing of what is going on here. The fellas I work with are glad to see the criminal element gone too because it was mostly black on black crime and they want to live in a city where they aren't getting shot and killed every day fool!
Amen, brother! Take it from anutta NOLA rez, that the folks that are here are intent on rebuilding the city better than it was. And you are also right about the politcos. If we can clean house so much the better for all of us!
Just what fucking seawall are you talking about? The MRGO, the 17th St canal?, the Industrial canal, the entire levee in St Bernard? You just proved once again Mr Bear that you are ill-informed and don't even know what you are yapping about but evidently just like to hear themselves yap. To further illustrate my point I said nothing about any administration of one type or other. To help you with your lack of info please check out the series of articles from an award-winning reporter from the Times-Picayune at nola.com. They were written several years before Katrina hit. After reading and digesting them you'll feel better about yourself for being more informed and more up-to-date with your knowledge and THEN you can post some informative quips.

They have cam-lock type fiber ends with a gel in it for awhile now. I've used them and the old days of polishing are gone, thank god.
