So, You would spank your kid for something a kid in Ohio did because they're the same age. You would arrest your wife and put her in jail because a woman with her eye color was seen selling drugs. You would starve your mother because she is the same age as a woman caught speeding in Hawaii. You are advocating the abuse of innocent people on the off chance that one or two just might be guilty. THAT IS WHAT THAT DICKHEAD SADDAM IS ON TRIAL FOR YOU JACKASS!!!!! What does it take to get that through your heads. We are suffering under a regime with the same philosophy as the regime it ousted. I am sure that a majority of Iraqis felt the same way you do when Saddam was torturing shiites. They went about their business without a second thought to the fact that there were people who could get a job or food or money or housing or education simply because they had the wrong name or religion. People that worried from day to day if the country they lived in would allow them to live. That is what you are so proudly hailing as reasonable to protect your sorry ass. You don't deserve to live in this country. Ijust hope you haven't mated yet, your existence putrifies the gene pool.
The Government can't protect you so they're going to deputize thousands of work-a-day joes to do the dirty work of scaring you silly so they can take more of your rights away.
Now do't make fun of 3.11. It was a fun system to work with even though it was crotchety.
I wish there was a project to build the 3.11 look into a more powerful OS. I still have one box with the best stuff I can find WFW drivers for to play old games on but it would be nice to have an OS that was less buggy to run them on.
Where the hell do they think this will go. I guess they have starving lawyers because all they will end up doing is feeding ambulance chasers. They don't have a lick of sense do they? Even if they survive the years this will be drawn out and they get a favorable judgement,there isn't anyone for them to go to make a settlement stick. Hell, they couldn't even get an injunction to stick right now. This is just a fancy form of suicide, much like the form that SCO is performing in its little gavotte with IBM.
I do it on one box once or twice a day and give the help desk hell for infringing on my right to take all the time and trouble I need to decide which harddrive I would rather use (I rotate between 4 or 5 different ones). One of these days, if enough people make it a regular habit, Microshaft will abandon this narrow-minded, ill-concieved, parochial quest to villainize everybody.

I downloaded what I thought was a song off napster back in the day that somebody had laced with a bug that rewrote my FAT during a restart that was triggered by clicking on the file to play it(Catholic Girls-Zappa) I spent the next two days hovering between insanity and grim determination to track down the malefactor to kill him. In the end I wiped the drive
and started over.If it was that easy for some random shithead, Uncle Willy won't have a lick of worry.
I graduated in 1985, long before any of this craziness started, but I had a list I carried around of people I would gladly strangle and laugh into their face as they choked their last gasp. It was two pages long in a school with 600 student and faculty so I had agood majority of them on that list with new members added daily. I learned that carrying that much anger was not healthy and revenge that left the person alive and wondering why God was so pissed at them was infinitely more satisfying. That and the top 6 a**holes on that list all got killed within 4 months of graduation in various accidents that I had nothing to do with but still shook me to the core. I found out that maybe all of this wanting to kill people was not for me, death was too final.
I think I posted this once before but I use microshaft update everyday. My ex has a laptop that has a valid key that will not pass WGA. 3 or 4 times a week I just reload XP on that laptop since it is extra anyhow and then update it only to get the same response. I them call up Microsoft to get it straightened out(I sometimes have to call 5 or 6 times now) and complain about it. Between that and the comp I have at home that gets a fresh install once or twice a day with another XP
disk with valid key I am trying to make it too frustrating for Microshaft to keep up it's reign of terror and abandon WGA.
Start a club and do this yourself, it's almost as fun as being a 419 eater
The judge can punish SCO for wasting the courts time but that would have nothing to do with the problems they caused for IBM. It would be something like sanctioning the lawyers and plaintiffs with fines or jail time and the lawyers would have problems with the Bar in their state if they were found culpable for
frivolous litigation(meaning they knew their clients were full of dookey). IBM and other defendants would have to go to court though but it begs the question,
Will they decide to pay to flog a dead horse? I say that after SCO gets done being whipped in court there won't be enough of it left to bother with,cetainly not worth handing out more money to lawyers. The one sad thought I had was that with the constitutional ban on cruel and unusual punishment the real evil in this saga will never get the appropriate punishment that he so richly deserves. Imagine Darl McBride shuffling down the street in a headstock, naked as a jaybird, with the American Flag shaped like an arrow on his back pointed to his ass, on the Tenderloin, Tuesday night.
I say if you are designers and engineers the end product reflects your talents. Saab was started by aircraft designers and engineers as was BMW and their records speak for themselves. BTW I had a boss who flew in the pacific theater. Look
up Hensagliska squadron and a captain Saul Millstein. He hardly ever said a good word about Grumman to me so my opinion
is backed by an older wiser more experienced person than I, may he rest in peace.
I think a great idea for a project is finding intelligence in Washington DC. We would need every available computer to achieve this result so start hacking today and get the alphabet
agencies involved too. Seriously though,we do need to start looking for brains in our own backyards before we find any in outer space or whoever we find there "ain't gonna come over to play anyhow", and would likely get rid of us so we don't hurt them. Or maybe we could run a search for the best person to be president without telling the computer who it is first like they do it now.
And there is not a damn thing wrong with that. Why are people so interested in keeping man tied to this planet. I for one would cheris the chance to go into space regardless of the risk. Why does everything have to be perfectly safe before we le it happen? I think lawyers have ruined this country's spirit by legitimizing every whining little bitch's ache and moan
and turning it into money(mostly for the lawyer) so that if something truly stupendous is going to happen we all have to worry about what kind of lawsuits may be filed. The worst part
about this is that now they have a billion little soldiers just like you all running around saying "Your doing this to make money" and "If anything goes wrong your nuts are in a vice"
The Great Firewall will come down and there is a good possibility that the Chinese government
might have another trick up it's sleeve to cut off what it considers unsafe. That being said,
the Chinese are also pragmatic. They do see the writing on the wall(hee hee) and are more likely trying to control the end of this present paradigm so that they end up with many of the same people in power and of course they all wish to remain breathing. Uncontrolled revolution can be quite messy and bad for the health and a country the size of China can cause a lot of collateral damage if open revolution breaks out.
THis is supposed to be a tax to pay to copyright holders but no system to identify which ones and no exemption for blank media that is not used for non-copyright material. Can you say "THIEVES"? Can you use it in a sentence? "Them Spaniards are nothing but a bunch of damn thieves!!!" Another page in the history of governments screwing every last penny they can out of the public. You can be sure that the same tax will be coming here soon. Imagine your typical garage band having to pay a royalty to themselves(if indeed any of the tax money is ever paid out)
He says that we are obnoxious to the rest of the world. We constantly say we are the best and believe it. Just like the jock in school though we will eventually find somebody who can kick our ass and then we'll grow up, at least we better grow up or we'll find the ass whoopin' only gets worse.
The answer is you don't have to,but, you also can't depend on the flavor of the month you are pushing to actually hit with the listeners so every artist is worth the same until they start selling. This means that you could spend a shitload to push Miss Loose Britches only to see a three man jug band rocket off.
It's the predictability they crave. They need to start rolling out the dog and pony show for an album before it's done to make the most of it and if it doesn't
hit you lose your ass. Also if you start pushing one too late the fans are on to someone else before you can rake any cream from it. There is no actual money in
records. You just pay for advertising and kickbacks and sometimes royalties when you buy a cd. The real money used to come from touring but now they see this whole internet thing and all the money to be had but there's those pesky downloaders who are getting it for free and that's just not right.
If a record company goes out of business where do it's properties go? Usually some lawyer ends up with them and the only time you may hear your favorite song from years ago is on a commercial for jockitch cream. Then there are the record companies that only want to spend money on the million selling pap that lines their pockets yet they won't release their iron grip on even the biggest dogs in their catalogue for fear of another label making money off of it. With filesharing you have the chance to find that song or album and it would be nice to slip the artist a bone or two but the record company will squawk because we just figured out we don't need them anymore so that's out.

Every bit of pissing and moaning about what OS gets your willy wet is so much farting in the wind compaired to what computers should be. You should be able to
converse with your computer in a normal fashion and get the results you want everytime with no downtime or upgrading cycles that can be measured in hours. All computers today are lumps of crap that piss you off. Some piss you off less than others or maybe they don't at all until something faster comes along but computers are all designed to piss you off right now. It only makes sense that the OS of such an evil machine should also piss you off. Using this reasoning it becomes easy to see the real problem that microsoft has been having with Vista. They reached a level of complication that turned chaos into elegance, every bug in every corner of the software formed a program all its own that made Vista so stable and so fast and so secure that no other OS would ever be needed and no patches would have to be written. Everyone would have figured out the perfection of Vista (because even the dumbest knuckledragger can figure out that he hasn't felt like shooting his computer in a long time) and would never use any of the updates until finally Microsoft turns into a game company that gets spanked by sony.
One comment was right on the money about string theory becoming a religion. The yearnings of scientists to evolve a theory that ties all of everything together
and turns the white noise of everything into a discernable pattern harkens to early man and his feeble attempts to explain the sunrise. Why does it all have to make sense? Why isn't chaos fine? Maybe the reason there aren't any documentable visitations is because our "science" is so laughable right now that we would be
little more than the Charlie Chaplains of the universe.

If I had spent twice as much to get half the ram and harddrive space of the computer I have now. Glad I missed that one
