If there is wide open space to my right and I have no fear of getting stuck behind 18 wheelers going 55, I'll move over. But otherwise, you're just going to have to be patient that you can only go 10 over the posted speed limit:)
The people going 85 in the *passing lane* are going with the flow of traffic and are driving appropriately for the conditions.
I'm sorry, I'm pretty fucking sure that the *law* states that the speed limit is 65mph, and that the *law* states that as long as you are driving the speed limit, you can be in either lane. So by driving 75mph, but not moving over and slowing down to 55 so that you can go 85, I am the one being a jerk and causing a dangerous situation. Because driving down a mountain interstate at 85 mph 6 feet away from someone elses ass end isn't dangerous at all. I beg you, please reconsider.
Not necessarily. Some states call that a moving roadblock, which impedes the flow of traffic. You can also get a ticket for going too slow on the highway, for the same reason.
and if you read my previous post, you would see that I said in some states, that is not the case. For example, the state I drive in.
OK, so instead of inconvenience yourself by driving behind someone going slower than you want to, you instead inconvenience everyone behind you wanting to go faster than you. Hey man, thanks for making the world a better place. I mean, it's all about you, right? Screw everyone else.
Yes, good job, blame it on my self centerdness and completely ignore the dangers of a 30mph difference in 2 lanes of heavey traffic. Good job.
As an FYI not all states require the passing lane to be "yeilded" so long as you are going the speed limit. This is the case I believe in MD as well as NC, among others. If the speed limit is 65 and and both lanes have people next to each other going 65, get over it, no law is being broken.
And if the speed limit is 65, and I'm in the left lane going 75, and you come up on my ass flashing lights trying to get me to move over, you will get ignored. I don't give a shit if you want to go 85 in a 65 like 30% of the other drivers, the limit is 65 and I'm already going 75. I'm not going to move into the right lane and get stuck behind someone going 55, unable to change lanes because everyone on my left is going 25-30mph faster than me.
Don't know how relevant this is, but my grandfather has a special watchband he has to wear with his wristwatches, the band goes all the way under the watch, keeping the watch from touching his skin. If he wears a watch touching his skin, the watch battery will die within 2 weeks. Been proven a half dozen times, and its been like that since my dad was a kid.
So how many mellenia will it take before trees evolve with defenses against humans cutting them down? Seems like a pretty big threat to me...I thought evolution would have started on that one thousands of years ago...
I once had a computer that was rebooting every few minutes.
Turns out the guy had installed a 3rd party fan for his CPU, except the connector on it was different than the one his previous fan had, and his mobo didn't have the proper connection.
This apparantly led him to believe the proper thing to do would be cut the connector off, strip the end of the wire, and (how do i describe this accurately?) poke the bare wire in through the back of a power connector hooked up the hard drive.
After having a good laugh and fixing the issue, he then tried to accuse me of being the one to do such a thing to his comp, and tried to get out of paying the bench fee.
I've seen it where reseating RAM fix a nonbooting PC. I've been doing it as part of various jobs for over 10 years, I've seen it almost all, and there are some problems that are just wow.
I'm calling bull. I've seen the same exact symptoms present with the cause being P/S, motherboard, and both.
Typically starts with someone coming by and saying the computer won't start. You plug it up and it works fine. They take it home and it works fine. They come back a couple days later with the same problem.
Turns out it works fine so long as it is on, but once you shut it down it won't power back up until you unplug it from power for 10 minutes.
At my previous post, the Sys Admin was a firm believer in keeping all software separate from each other, and high redundancy.
2 domain controllers for the lan, 2 domain controllers for the agent extranet, 1 for voicemail, 1 for ACD, 1 for call reporting, 2 for database, 1 for applications, 1 for documents, 1 for mail, 1 for web applications, 1 for blackberry, 1 for building security, 1 for PBX administration, jesus I'm already tired of doing this list.
Hmm interesting. I'm assuming you are saying that the earth and moon are getting closer and gravity will eventually pull them together? If this is in fact true, what would happen to earth? Now before I'm laughed out of my chair, give me a moment. I'm assuming that they wouldn't collide head on at 10,000 mph or whatever, but that the moon would orbit closer and closer until it came to a sort of rolling along the surface collision at 10k mph or whatever. Would this be instant extinction of everything, or only a continent?
well for the record, as a comic book fan, that was mutie, as in derogatory term for a mutant. I was just reading one the other day where a black guy asked kitty prdie "Are you one of them muties?" To which she replied "I don't know, are you a nigger?" Classic. Thus the reference.
In any aspect, are you suggesting it's not ok to belittle someone for their skin color or sexual orientation, but it is ok to belittle them based on their belief structure? I mean, I know its ok as far as free speech goes, but as far as promoting a good logical discussion...o wait, nm, forgot where I was.
The really funny thing is, we really can't say that we *know* ANYTHING about the universe. For thousands of years, things that we *know* have been proven false, some of them only to be reversed again. "KNOW", as in an immutable fact, is a funny idea.
I'm beginning to wonder if I'm not actually an aathieist. No, I didn't misspell that. I do not believe in the lack of belief in a certain proposition. Prove me wrong. But I don't think you can, which I think would make you an aaathiest.
Belief does not need proof. I believe I will wake up in the morning...I could just as easily die in my sleep. I believe I will make it to work in the morning. I could just as easily be hit by a car. I believe there is a God, and one could argue I could just as easily be wrong. None of that is relevant. Belief isn't based on proof, its based on faith. Faith and Proof, for most intents and purposes, are mutually exclusive by definition.

heh, hagerstown to frederick, 630am-730am. But when I go to baltimore or DC, its after rush hour, around 10am. So yeah, I usually miss all THAT bs.
In Alaska, Maryland, North Carolina and Ohio, vehicles can drive in the left lane so long as they're moving at the speed limit.
:)
Interesting read on the topic.

I70 from hagerstown to baltimore, or to frederick and then 270 to DC, its nothing for people to be doing 85 in a 65.

wow. Asshole Saturation Point. When that happens, I don't care *who* you are, you ain't looking good in them jeans.
Maybe a friend of his found the brown note and is fscking with him

Or the obvious answer...he's already *using* the artificial brain, and it has a bug with time perception...

lol sounds funny. Except I just left a company with 39 servers, 90 desktops, and 15 laptops. Insurance Industry.
I started a new systems admin job 4 months ago. When I arrived:
routers at all locations = static
printers = static
servers = static
pc's, laptops, and thin clients in 10 different cities = static
And the best part about it was, I have a strong windows background, and was replacing a gentleman with a AIX background. Classic.
I've used Trackit, and it is ok. Having used nothing else, scaled of 1-10 with 10 best, I'd give it a very solid 7.
It identifies computers wonderfully, most of the time pulling maker, model, serial, os, and system specs.
It can pull printers though it doesn't get any real info other than ip and smb name.
It can ping other devices such as routers and pbx, but didn't provide any info on the version I used.

Better to be damn wrong than admit you don't know, huh?
