    No she didn't

    Damn, For a thousand bucks a month, I'll fly you in to America and let you sleep on my couch.

    This is the same NIC card I got with my Cable Modem. It worked flawlessly under Linux.

    I think you are smoking crack.



  4. Re:Wimpy cars? on Ask LinuxPPC Co-Founder Jason Haas · · Score: 1
    Have you learned your lesson, and bought a car that isn't quite such a tiny tin can?

    Why would you even consider blaming that man? You think it is his fault when:

    1. He was just sitting at a red light?
    2. A drunk driver hit him?

    The only thing that could have protected him from that wreck was a tank (and I mean a military tank, not an 81 buick). I suggest you apoligize for your comment.

  5. Re:Object Oriented Magic Bullets??? ;-) on Why Software Still Sucks · · Score: 1

    None of the OSs out there are object oriented. It's too slow right now.

    And Visual C++ is just an IDE, man.. It's not the product that fscked it up, it's the language itself.

    Delphi on the other hand...

    I'd be willing to bet most of Yahoo's traffic comes from the other services: mail, games, chat, etc.

  7. Re:PopLaunch on Spammer Pleads Guilty · · Score: 1

    I am _very_ aware of what PopLaunch is.

    I used to work for the guy that developed it. As soon as I found out what and how his "business" made money, I left.

    I know where he lives.

    Please, someone, confirm for me, that this is illegal and that he is in fact wanted by the FBI.

  8. Not Seven Years for Forgery on Spammer Pleads Guilty · · Score: 1

    I highly doubt that any judge would convict a person for forging e-mail! There are NO safety precautions anywhere that prevents forging e-mails!!

    ibm.net knew this. The fact that they didn't invent such a system to prevent forgery and what-not means that it is their own fault!

  9. Re:Tasty and delicious. on Perl for System Administration · · Score: 1

    While all of these O'Reilly books are pretty good, they lack the programming focus that I think this book should fill nicely.

    If you want "programming focus," don't use Perl. You'll end up needing Bi-focals and magnifying glass just to get a smidgen of clarity from it.

    If you want real programming focus, take a couple of intro classes at your local University. Use Lisp.

    Juicy cranberries grandma!

  10. What are you smoking on IBM to Offer Linux Software · · Score: 1
    The problem is we need commercial applications people are actually willing to purchase.

    What are you smoking dude? DB2 and WebSphere are both very heavily used by the Fortune 500 especially for legacy systems and mainframes. That IBM is releasing this for Linux only can be a good thing!

    Is Plan 9 taking off?? I would really like to ditch this Linux crap and use something a little more current!!

    That is such a rip off of the movie Contact it's not even funny.

    Allow me to quote from Good Will Hunting: "When you are 55 you will start to do some thinking on your own and you will come to two conclusions. One, don't do that (plagerize). Two, you wasted two-hundred and fifty grand in tuition getting an education you could have got for two-fifty in late charges at the library."

  23. Web Scripting Languages on 4 Web Scripting Languages Compared · · Score: 3

    I've been developing with most of these "web" scripting languages this past year, and I can tell you one thing about all of them:

    They suck.

    Yes, it's true.. ColdFusion is nice for rapid, small applcations, but anything over that you will be grinding your teeth because of limitations of the language.

    PHP.. PHP is in the same boat, but you can develop middle-sized applications before grinding your teeth. The language itself feels likc one giant hack and there is WAY to much built-in, no module support to speak of, and the "unified" DB driver sucks (ODBC has a performance hit). It's shoddy OOP and function support causes headaches.

    Java Servlets take FOREVER and a day to develop; ColdFusion and PHP beat the pants off of Java anyday; However, like I was telling my boss, "With Java, everything looks like a nail..."

    Can't speak for ASP, but I can say...

    Python. It's a better language (syntax, semantics, libraries, modules, OOP) than PHP any day.
