Since the end of January 2000, i've lost 38 pounds. My secret? Eating 3 good meals a day and a SHITLOAD of exercise. A good steady jogging pace produces the best results. I'm in great physical shape compared with what i used to be. I started at 292 and am now 254. My goal is around 200, as my bodyfat is 23% right now. I dont trust those stupid "magic" diets because each one deprives your body of something. The "balanced" diet i eat gives me plenty of nutrients. Follow my advice and you too can lose that "Server Case" and bring it down to a slim "Mini Tower"
Can I send a little money to Iridium so they can precision-drop one of their birds on the location of my choice? Somewhere in Seattle, preferably. (grin)
I found the statement VERY interesting, and it angered me about the state of the American Legal System today. However, few people will EVER know of these injustices, the way the media works today. Chew on that for a little while.
Well, at least the open source/Linux/BSD community was big enough to have its own show all together at Comdex. However, the whole open source community needs to band together and purchace one HUGE chunk of the main floor, (right next to Microsoft) and then distribute it among major Open Source vendors to better showcase your wares.
This is great news for the Linux community. However, how can we be sure that SGI wont create a proprietary distribution for its parallell processing systems that may fragment linux?
Give me a break. These school administrators are persecuting and assassinating the character of a young boy who will probably be warped for life now. However, these same schools use dark, violent books such as Crime and Punishment as TEACHING TOOLS! This book's plotline follows a man through life and how he copes with MURDERING A PAWNBROKER AN HER SISTER WITH AN AXE. All details are described, down to the last piece of blood and gore. Books like this are considered GREAT WORKS and should be READ BY EVERYONE! However, when a kid writes a viloent story, albeit without much literary merit, he is thrown in JAIL! I just read Crime and Punishment as a REQUIREMENT for my AP English class, as I am a senior in high school. In my personal experience, I write for an underground newspaper for my school which is put together by a friend of mine. He has been called to the office and they have tried to silence him and his paper (nothing more than some cheap joke editorials and David Letterman top 10 lists). However, his paper lives on thanks to his vast knowledge of the American legal system, thanks to a CLASS AT THE SCHOOL WHICH TAUGHT HIM THOSE LAWS! I find it funny and sad that he was able to outmanuver our vice principal as they tried to catch him in technicalities. Think what you will of my writings, but take them to heart as I speak from the ranks of the opressed.
Well, at least MY worst fear is when Mount Redmond opens its crappy Windows to release the airborne toxin WinDozeium, which will cause anyone who inhales it to instantly pass out as a result of a brain GPF. However, my legion of Daemons will prevent this from happening with their superior error handling capabilities.
The real problem with ipo's aside from the inherent risk factor of the stock market is the speed of trade execution. Large brokerages have the advantage, and by the time a normal person buys a stock like Cobalt, the price of 15 has balooned to 80, and then could drop back to something like 60, and you then lose money. I say, stick with companies whose future has little doubt like HP, IBM, Dell and others like Phillip Morris and General Electric. Play it safe.
Hasnt the great Kasparov been given enough abuse from deep blue? This additional microsoft fiasco with poor site management adds insult to injury. MSFT dropped the ball.
Its nice to see that apple finally came to its senses. Alienating a huge portion of its customer base with its first move was a really crappy thing to do, price increases and all. Although the user's trust in apple is lessened, at least some is regained.
Well, sort of. In the movie Office Space, a realistic looking Mac OS desktop is used in the scene where a virus is uploaded into a bank computer. Only problem was that the Mac OS interface was running on a WinTel box. And winNT was running on the same computer during the remainder of the movie. go fig...
This event is a showcase of the general malaise of this country. If you blew 70 grand in VEGAS you would get no forgiveness. However, some crackpot blows the same amount ONLINE and is immediately forgiven by an equally incompetent judge. Calling the credit card a "loan" doesnt quite work. This event sets a rather unfortunate precident for the future, meaning that I wouldnt want to get into the online casino business any time soon.
Now that Victorinox has provided the world with yet another multitool, Microsoft will follow suit with their WindozeTool: -Blades made of durable Win32 api's! -Has built-in reset when it GPF's when tightening a screw! -Has built-in biometric reader in grip to identify and then give all personal info of user directly to Billy "Money" Gates himself! -WindozeTool NT adds more "stability" and "security" by locking tools in place with rubber bands -all for the low, low price of $1999.00 (plus support on a per-instance basis)
