I grew up going to private schools - and it was kill or be killed. Up intill 3rd grade when I was kicked out of the first school I Went to, I was doing fine because I was in a niche. In Fact, I remember in 2nd grade a new kid came in and for the first part of the year we gave him all hell (made him cry more then once). However, a friend and I decided to let him into our lil group. I went to a public school for the finishing part of 3rd grade and then a different one for 4th grade. At both places I was able to fit in INSTANTLY and other then the fact I was bored during the day, I loved it. When I went to another private school in 5th grade, it was hell on earth. What few friends I could get would quickly turn on me, fight with me, etc. They played a game there called Bombardament. Aparently they had been playing this game for a few years and it was my first time at it. Oh yea, I also suck at catching and throwing due to my stubby hands and I through "like a girl". Anyhoo, for the first week I Got the shit knocked out of me with big rubber balls. Constantly made fun of etc. So, I did like anyone that can think on their feet would do, I directed the attention away from me onto someone else. Sure it was hell for me, but it was cutthroat. If you couldn't take the heat then school sucked. If you could take it and re-direct it or simply find someone lower on the lader then you, then you were fine. By 8th grade I had my group. Luckily my freshman year in HS, I was sick of it all and didn't care much. I still had my friends from gradeschool there, and picked up a few more. However, it was still the same cutthroat environment. Jocks would make fun of me for being fat and I would whisper into their ear that I play violent video games and know how to use guns. Shut them up. Id also resort to the 'at least I Dont have VD' comebacks too. It is all kill or be killed, and I have had some of the toughest school shit you can get. However, kids today are not tought how to fight back. They are like French kids in the 1930s. Their mom's always told them in a fight to back off. Apose to the German children who were told to take it to line. I know im going a lil off topic, but thats a big reason France was taken so quickly. This same reason is why kids today cant take it if someone calls them fat. Were they not taught sticks and stones? I got in trouble a lot for fighting but hell, I needed it. It let people know that I don't take shit. These kids either need to learn to take shit, or not. There are ways other then fighting to show you dont take shit such as ignoring them. Bullying is and will always be - teach the kids how to take it, not to cower and hide!
Amazing how no guns in DC and yet the crime rate goes up. Notice all these school shootings happen after the Brady law? Yea, that sure has helped. Gun control in the UK has lead to the police carrying heavy firearms, something they have never done! Gun control does not work! A polite society is an armed society.
Why must every Sims story make it on Slashdot? Is it a category yet? Come on! This game is OLD and TRITE! It gets very boring very fast (10 minutes to pee - 30 minutes round trip) and has the entertainment level of watching a banner add! Please, MOVE ON!
I have used ICQ for quite some time (first time I signed on personally I had a 7 digit uin, first time I used it at a friend's house was in the time of 6 digit UINs and quake ctf!) and love it to DEATH. I can not get by with out it! However, with recent additions of advertisments and the hacking them out, and the ever growing memory usage of ICQ - I am keeping my nose out for a replacement. However, I have a few requirements: 1: Programable Shortcut Keys (Including the "Double click on icon" Shortcut key which I use to my death - Ctrl-Shift-I) 2: Tab - Space sending! Would drive me crazy if it were any different! 3: Be able to get full user info INCLUDING THEIR IP! Starting servers and getting's people's FTPs is a pain without that! 4: Send through server and direct option as well as no character limit 5: Multiple away, online, na, dnd, occupied, and invisable modes with multiple message slots available 5: File and URL send and receive, plus menu integration where available 6: Not available in ICQ but saveable,backup-able and exportable History - I have ICQ messages that are very important that go back 18+mos right now and Ive lost much more then that! 7: Something similar to the "Message Archive" / Address book 8: Plug-in architecture for things like the post-it notes, and SMS messages, etc. 8: ICQ server mode (act as an ICQ server or even better - an ICQ gateway 9: I can live without the AIM like Message Mode but the option there would be nice 10: Ability to use colors and block out incoming colors 11: Better HTML integration then ICQ has (ie be able to paste HTML code in and have it render as a web page - ICQ kind of does that, its really really sloppy - copying and pasting from a web page brings up strange results) 12: Different sounds for different user incoming events as well as being able to turn off all sounds except say for the wife or something! 13: Email checking
Maybe its just me but those are the feautres I can not live without if they are already in ICQ or really would love to see if they are not! Integration with other messaging systems would be nice - although I would see it as possibly being messy - but I bet it could be handled right. (I know people in aim that send like 3-4 word lines and scroll a lot - if that was coming in as its own message each time, I would get pissed).
If anyone knows of such a program for Linux and/or Windows please lemme know! I would try to write something like this except - I am not much of a programer at all!
That was definatly ON topic - I was talking about diversity that comes from linux including distros - damn morons

I have been trying to use linux for 3 years plus - just never had a dedicated box for it! However, now that I have started - I love it. It is fun (mainly because windows bores me now - ive been there and done that - I wanna learn more)! However, certain things I just don't like. I really don't like tarballs and make installs. Im gay for RPMs. I really like the ability to install via RPMs. However - thank you diversity - if RPMs rub you the wrong way and you would rather have tar-balls - or apt-get - then hey, there it is for YEE! Diversity rocks. I can run vi and you emacs and we can actually get along, yes? We both are happy with our own lil varient. Sure arguments will ensue of which is better for this and that but diversity just fuels the wide range of preferences - and it owns. Ok my Linux comercial is over now
Today after 3 years of half starts I finally got a dedicated box just for linux. I have a samsung syncmaster with dual inputs so I didn't even worry about a monitor switch. However, my secondardy mouse bites and I lost the ps2 adapter for my old keyboard. Well, I had been using VNC for a while now in windows and loved it. However, I am blown away with VNC, Sawfish, and Ximian gnome all done remotely - in my word - PIMP
There has been a steady movement as we move further in the future and the Trek shows move further, THINGS LOOK BETTER! I mean - how crappy are they gonna have to make the shuttle craft doors? Is Cochran still alive, and if so does he still listen to Steppenwolf (and is he a 'hero' yet?) I dunno - seems like a mess to me!
If the Trek series is set in the past, think of all the limitations they are gonna have due to the fact 'it isn't discovered until stardate 86931 by Dr. Voliskine acording to episode by48x' and I just typed random numbers for the stardate too.
The only reason I am itching to get back into Linux is this
For a windows user - linux install and shit floating everywhere - PAIN IN THE ASS

Dude, there is a bug in GtkHTML."

Im not a music major and I sing off key but I can listen and say hey - that sounds damn good! I can draw stick people okay but I can look at Rembrant and go bad ass. However, I get through calc and I look at math like a big pain in the ASS! I see no beauty in code even though ive written some. How is Joe Blow gonna feel looking at the source tree? Doesnt seem like art (to me)
I have never shopped at Amazon because of this stupidness - but if this patent is over turned and they back down - should I (or more importantly Will you) go back to using amazon ?
Its been since 99 when I stoped using dial up and switched to cable, and ive quite frankly ignored all the other ISPs, ive been very happy with my local cable company's Road Runner service. However, when it came time for me to get a job out of highschool, I was hoping to get a part time for an ISP as a few of my friends did 2-3 years ago when they graduated. I was suprised that when I looked up the names of the ISPs I remembered off the top of my head - many no longer existed. 2-3 of the ones I remembered had since been merged and then bought out by earthlink I do beleive. I turned to the yellow pages to get many nerr neer neer sorry sounds. The few ISPs that were left, I was told either they were not hiring, or they can not hire because they are shutting down w/ in 90 days etc. I was very suprised, and then I realized most modemers I know are in the world of AOL or Southwestern Bell seems to be big around here too for dialup. Its sad. It seems the day of columbia internet (etc) are gone!
See - our (US) government will protect something like libraries because librarians have a special intrest group where those HOT HOT HOT Librarians sleep their way through congress.
Quite simply let us start now by burning all books! I guess since libraries also have tapes, cds, films, magazines, and more - we just need to get rid of all media that holds ideas since ya cant always charge for it. No wait... we can get a police department to check up on our ideas to make sure we dont have any that we didnt pay for... we can call them the thought police...
MO Drives have interested me ever since I saw Eraser but I sure have not seen them take off. What type of MO solutions are there? I mean I can get 4 80min HQ cdrws for $10 at the most - thats the same 2.6 at less cost and more compatability. I dunno - those cool lil things in Eraser were just bad ass
Dude - there was that one episode of Tale Spin where Baloo who couldn't spell had to write in the sky with the smoke stuff - You think Baloo is on the fringe? Eat at joes man -- EAT AT JOES!
