This is offtopic but I just want to address the 'they all suck' line of yours.
Just because the music other people listen to is not Rock doesn't mean it sucks ass. Why not try and have a more open mind about things.
Personally, I used to listen GN'R, Metallica (Before they sold themselves out), White Zombie, Blood Type O, and etc. And I even used to put down any music other than good ol' Rock.
But then I started to open my ears, to other types of music and now I'm more into Techno/Trance. Stuff like ATB, U-Tek, Klubb Kings, Amokk, John Wink, Paul van Dyk, and hell, even the Vengaboys are really good stuff now.
Rock has just worn out its welcome and its become way too stale, Rock and Roll, the (used) to be epitome of anarchy and rebeliousness has become a corporate commodity and fodder for the masses.
Nowadays, I'd rather go raving, pop E, and dance for 12+ hours. Its better than getting your face kicked in at some stale Metallica concert.
And what about clothes that cost $50 bucks ? If you don't like wearing quality stuff, go to value village and look like a bum.
And in case your wondering, I don't watch MTV, hell, I don't even have it up here in Canada. The closest relative we have to MTV is MuchMusic (equally as bad), but I hardly watch TV except for Futurama and the Simpsons anyway.
'Anything else is a choir' Hrm, so real bands write their own stuff huh ? Well, in that case, Guns and Roses aren't a real band anymore since the 'Spaghetti Incident' album was ALL covers right ? Think about how bigoted your post was.
If you even care, you might want to try listening to these songs, you just might like it if you tried listening:
ATB - 9pm Amokk - Interactive U-Tek - Das Mass Der Dinge
I can't believe MTV is directing more shows like this, don't they have anything better to do than direct this junk ?
Hell, I say its time to show MTV who the real crackers are, let's/. their website, or maybe give them a taste of their own medicine : ).
"In school, I knew nothing about computers, all I did was like, sell weed everynight, drinking 40's and like you know between labs(?) shooting pool and staying out all night, like that's what I did.
When I learned about computers I thought WOW, i could change my grades, or like hack into a bank and do wire transfers and stuff like that. And you know, the glamour of that is what truly is.
Ironic how MTV prepares shows about people 'fighting' the institution when they [MTV] are clearly the institution.
Exactly, the reason why IE won't allow special characters in its bookmarks is because each bookmark is saved as a file. And I personally hate it, if you run windows there's actually a way to remove the Favorites and Documents part by hexediting the explorer.exe file. I've done it, and explorer is still buggy as ever, but at least I have less garbage to deal with : ).
Actually, when I've been doing my web development, I've noticed that Netscape has much more standardized font settings, and IE doesn't.
The fonts in IE are just way too big, and also it screwed up the CSS standard, so CSS pages made with for IE will not work with other browsers.
I love Netscape, as bad as it may seem, the fonts come in great at 1600x1200, and yes I run windows as well (linux/freeBSD on my servers : )).
I think maybe if Netscape 5.0 is released, and it is truly a major leap in browser tech, they should possibly start charging for it. Not something too expensive, but maybe $10 or $20 bucks perhaps.
And besides, 'about:mozilla' is just too much fun : )

You can do all of the above with Linux, and if you want an X system to go with it, look into using one of the few mini X-servers around
There's something an old English/History teacher told me when writing persuasive essays or documents; always give positive points to the antithesis of your subject, otherwise your just writing something that's useless.
This Microsoft document shows that their falling back on usual FUD tactics to re-assure all those imho, *ahem* braindead *ahem* MCSE/NT Admins that their jobs aren't at risk and that their still useful.
My favourite line though is:
"Reality: Linux Needs Real World Proof Points Rather than Anecdotal Stories"
I have setup linux boxes at my old job and even though I've left 5 months ago, those servers/gateways have still been running with the exception of one which had to be shutdown to be moved.
NT ? No thank you, I'd rather have my brain ripped out with a plastic fork.
Doesn't matter, the Internet is the most extreme form of democracy and free speech there is. Nobody, neither any organization should be placing laws or controlling content.
And its not like trying to avoid an oncoming truck, most search engines post the URL at the bottom of of the summary and usually if you use your brain you can tell if its a porn site or not (www.porn4free.com/cx0100/2000.html or something.. gee, i wonder if its a porn site ? : P)
And if you do happen upon it accidentally, you can just easily kill netscape.
In windows use ctrl-alt-del, click on Netscape, then [End Task]. Or in Linux, the 'killall -9 netscape' will do.
Damn, its times like this I wish I could maybe move down to California and get in on the start-up action. Sounds like Google could be the next Excite or Yahoo, can you say $$$$ ?
I really really don't get it, a lot of you people on/. must have some pent up angst from window bsod's or end users. Austin Powers 1 and 2 were damn funny movies, and TPM was a good star wars movie. You people need to just let things go and get immature for 2 hours, I nearly died laughing out loud in the theatre... need I remind of scenes like in the Tent ?? Fat Bastard describing is urgent need to **** and eat mini-me (the scottish-english baby eating was a funny joke too, if you don't get it check your History notes) Jerry Springer ??? The Rocket Discoveries ??
Yes, the movie was immature, rude, skittish, but hell, what DO you expect ? Its a Mike Myers film, so pull that pickle out of your ass and have a good time!
Its really sad and tragic at what had occured in Colorado recently, however why does the media and most people blame the Internet, Games, Television, Movies, et al for these events ?
Sure, these kids played a lot of DOOM, Quake, watched NBK too many times, but I seriously doubt that these things are to blame. Personally, I've been playing games likes this and watching violent as hell flicks since I was a kid and I haven't killed anybody yet. Even books like the Bible (which is taught to most kids) have bloody and gory details in them.
I think for cases like this they should be examining the families the kids were in, what shape they were in mentally, what happened in their lives recently, etc.... Unfortunatley, most people and the media love to fingerpoint and find a simple answer to a complex problem.
I can't believe the retard level this site is operating on, would somebody have at least told them that websites are inherently 'open source' (if you can call it that at all ?)
In any case, its quite obvious that he doesnt care about any technology issues at the moment, or he would be risking his politcal career on more contreversial issues such as cryptography, mpeg3 audio and channels of distribution, Microsoft and the Justice Department, etc...
Its also kind of funny that all these politicians are using the internet as a kind of miracle tool for education, most likely if those kids do get fibre and fast workstations at school, they'll be '3133tly hax0ring' or downloading pr0n.
Hahahaha -- yeah, My CS 128,129, and 204 is too damned easy, I want my money back !
These jerkoffs are just trying to find a way to make a quick buck, and its up to them to find out what kind of classes they are getting into -- what do they f$#*ing expect ? Someobody to hold their hand through life ?
Only reason why the term means what it does today is because of ridicoulus movies hollywood puts out, I wonder how many AOL'ers wanted to be a 'hacker' and do some '3l33t hacking' after seeing 'Hackers'.
Good God, and shit like this only makes it worse, like somebody I know said "The net is full of fucking idiots"
btw, some shit on that site is kinda funny, i wonder if any of those '3l33t hackers' are going to get the sysop bag : P
Hell, for the longest time I've been hoping that they would port Office over, imho its the best application MS has come out with. If they do, I'll have a *real* office suite to use, and I can finally blow away the 400 meg windows partition.
I hardly think Ms Office is bloatware, its not bloat if its usefull. And after trying out Star Office, I have to say it blows goats and piss poor slow, hell, it doesn't even run on certain glibc machines.
Scared of being spied on ? Then stop using your credic cards, library cards, etc...

Not quite, Backstreet Boys write their own music/lyrics.
And also there are TONS of other rock 'bands' out there which are put together by labels to make money.
And your post doesn't even make any sense, you've contradicted yourself a few times already
