How We Used To Vote
·
· Score: 2, Interesting
sorry, the story is not made up. i understand the guy might not have been the mayor..he could have been our alderman. when you are the one young, white couple living in the neighborhood, are you going to say no to the twenty people going with you?
you are right about french village being on the outskirts of east st. louis.
didn't i have to work? of course i did ass. i worked all fucking night the day before.
the fire department was not in caseyville, it was french village fire department.
sorry for not having a fucking videocamera to prove the rest of you wrong. if i was going to make up the story, i would have done so as an anonymous coward. check out my other posts if you don't believe me...especially about linux networx going under. i paid a nice professional price for that one.
Granted this was only way back in 2000, but I lived in St. Clair County, IL. It was a small township called French Village. At 8am, the mayor knocked on my door and informed my wife and I it was time to vote. We marched down to the fire station with him and twenty other poor people. They passed out leaflets stating which democrats we should vote for and why. There were no republicans running in our little township, so good luck dissenting. They also explained how important it was to vote democrat and how we should not consider ourselves welcome in the community if we failed to vote. We cast our votes and all went well. However, you had to fill your ballot in at a table with everyone else who could fit in the room at the time and the mayor literally acted as a monitor!!!
Another bad apple is fine. We will send him to prison just like Stevens. Eventually America will get pissed enough to start hanging these crooks in the street.....then it will stop.
Correct. Just like not every person is going to be able to use netstumbler to find unsecured wireless. The vast majority of people are pretty safe. Does suck to be that one person out of 100,000,000 though.
Posting is exactly how you beat the system. Post the shit for free on the web and laugh. This defeats the chance anyone will ever be able to make money off of your find or blame you for the disastrous consequences.
Where is the emphasis on the hardware specs used to host this frightening cyberpower vision? I wish more people would include hardware specs in their press announcements and leaked documents. Don't they realize some people on here don't care about politics all the time. Talk about the badass specs for once. Poor hardware, always being misused and left for a newer shinier model.
I know 200 people is going to be a disaster. Can you guarantee me Jim Stoner and his buddies can assemble rail kits or anything else? Wait until they get to the infiniband cabling. One bend in that cable at 100 dollars a foot will cause all kinds of problems for the budget. No Thanks. Instead give me a software engineer and four hardware techs three days to do it properly. I guarantee you at least 195 of these folks have never installed one and the concept scares me.
I want my mod points back from the fanboys of apple. Since the story should have been verified before being salaciously posted by editors not being editors, the whole event should be null and void.
I know...mod me down fanboys, but how can you restrict hardware from running your software. These same fanboys will cry about Microsoft and yet charge people exhorbitant amounts of money for hardware that is second rate at best throughout the years and they still don't have a viable gaming machine. Get off of it Jobs and keep making money selling cute accessories filled with DRM and bloatware. Stop worrying about every user not willing to shell out 2k for subpar hardware.
You mean going to a library and doing actual research is far more reliable than reading people's editable posts on the internet? Stop spreading your propaganda or the internet giants will come for you at night.
Agreed. Obviously the parent did not have parents who had a farm. There are very few small farmers left. By this I am talking about those farming less than 2,000 acres. The number one rule for small farmers is not to get in bed with these fucks and any other person trying to sell magic products. They control seed prices with a strong arm and the same goes for farmers stuck selling chickens to Tyson.
I "must" run windows as well at work. I installed Fedora Core 8 on the company provided Dell laptop. I did the ole skool Partition Magic to create two 50 gb partitions. With Fedora Core Live CD it took care of the rest. I was also able to verify the OS picked up the drivers for the laptop before deciding to actually put it on the system. I am a linux noob, but love Fedora and the ease of the dual boot option.
Well said mcgrew... if they based this on companies they will realize most do not adopt "bleeding edge technology". What software company wouldn't benefit from a 1024 node linux cluster? The iphone took almost a year to release a corporate version of their phone. On the consumer side, i build and support the computers my family uses and their is no reason for me to go over there and say the magic phrase, "This just came out and we should install it." The common users I know in small towns with no high speed access install the browser that came with their disk. Don't even get me started on updating windows for these people. Of course they won't adopt the latest and greatest, they can't even download it half the time.
How is money for sex such a heinous act to anyone but the guy's family? Elliot Spitzer took on Wall Street and they found his weakness. At least he didn't spy on US citizens which should be a capital offense punishable by public hanging in the town square.
Well, my three coworkers and I were in Kansas City yesterday and today moving a cluster on behalf of LNXI. This was the last official LNXI job ever. Understand that 90 percent of field engineer work (cluster installations, repair, RMA work, etc.) was done by one subcontractor working for LNXI. I am not a pussy so I don't post anonymously, but I can't name it. However I was in the field acting as labor and fallout boy for the hardware and I spent a majority of my time doing Boeing RMA work for the last three years for them. I learned a lot and their technical staff (before Bo pissed everyone off) were second to none. So thanks LNXI, even though the prepaid hotel didn't work this time, we found out from the internets before you told us, and left three big node shipping crates onsite because you fired the motherfuckers who might want it back. Regardless, here comes the hate:
The non technical management and venture capitalist pigs ruined a company that had a niche market creating supercomputers for the some of the best software developers in the nation. Bo ruined that by trying to compete with Dell, IBM, and the other souless fucking sellouts posing as friends of open source while forcing proprietary crap down everyone's throat.
So for the next while I will assure their customers that the company that just fucked over a lot of people I admire will be fixing their stuff from now on and I am sure they will get treated better than us people. After all, I know supercomputers are worth more than staff, but for the love of God: SGI? You gotta be fscking/kidding me.
For those of you who insulted our company today through snide remarks, remember you can let all the 1337 open source software and cluster companies die and noone will be left to hear you scream as IBM/DELL/HP/SUN/Microsoft/SGI drags you away.
To me this is how to define supercomputing in today's reality and it will continue to apply. When installing a cluster, supercomputer, etc. take one computer in somebody's house and install it in a rack mountable case with thousands of others. If this guy can make one handheld computer function as thousands it will only make my customers buy thousands of handheld computers. This is why datacenters will be hard pressed to go away.
The company I work for runs a Server 2000/2003 environment with lots of instances of XP, MySQL2000i, Quickbooks 2005, etc. on the desktops. In other words for us to upgrade all the desktops, we would have to buy all new hardware and all new software. Simply put: NEVER!!! That is why I still see some manufacturing companies sticking with Windows 98, etc. It costs too much to upgrade...especially if you bought proprietary database software that will never work with new Windows OS's.
I find it amusing those same companies steal from their customers and their customer's government with (insert dirty business finance trick here). Then they spy illegally on us. This is our country and these companies should be taken down for treason. Spy on our citizens and you deserve to be lined up against a wall and shot.
I would have kept the business model the same. I would have acted like I was really taking down copyrighted material, all the while having a twenty percent success rate against unlicensed material. BTW, just take down the new Britney vids, etc. because noone cares about Stevie Wonder on Sesame Street singing, "Superstitious". That way you appease record companies, etc. and still don't piss off the customers who click on the ads to support you.
I have repaired clusters for the last two years and most have OpenBios. These are the likes:
1)Fast as hell!!
2)Easy to change options
3)Can mount the file to a disk, edit, and then replace.
4)Errors can be determined by watching console, No video needed. One serial cable, One laptop=priceless.
5)Free
I fully believe there will be a release on the Linux platform from Id. I understand about us only having a few percent of the market, but in the current market that few percent can make or brake the profitablity for a company already investing millions into a game. Besides, why bite the hand that has loyally supported you?

She is probably ashamed because Blockbuster keeps sending NC-17 movie flyers to her house.

Couldn't agree more. Do you know how much easier it would be for me to shoot my shoulder-fire missile if it was seen by my brain as part of my body?
I know...mod me down fanboys, but how can you restrict hardware from running your software.
