In the case of the latter link, I was as circumspect as could be. There were boundries. I don't believe they were crossed. In the former case, I didn't originate the thread, only posted a particularly outrageous response. In neither case was there something directly insulting to a large group...

Bill changed the image in question. It was a picture of two models holding CDs up to check their makeup. It might seem humorless to some of you but really, if you were a woman employed in IT, and you saw the picture in question on this site, would YOU want to hang around here?

Well, I'd hoped to practice before public humiliation but I'm game if you all are.

Oh. How silly of me. I need to do everything through STEAM, not the game. I have Blake's server bookmarked. I even played him for like 5 seconds, before my cat decided my keyboard was a good place to sit.

Why the hell can't I connect to any servers? I spent $#%##$ing forever downloading Steam and it says I can't #$%#$%ing connect. Do I need to open a port or something?

Are the G5s price-competitive with SMP 64bit Athlons? Dual 1.8GHz G5/160GB/512MB = $3000 Dual 2GHz Opteron/36GB Raptor/1GB/19" display = $3500 from Polywell That looks really close to me. The G5 is a little bit slower chip, but otherwise it looks like a push to me, with the benchmark results...

Yeah. The Serial number that's on the slipcover the CD should've been in. Oh well. I found the CD, but not the slipcover. So I paid for a copy of HalfLife today, since my BlueShift key doesn't work. Is there any way to download the 700MB of updates without registering as a member of...

That's in incredibly poor taste IMO.

I have to find my install CD first. That's going to be an adventure. Also, I will be pathetic. I haven't played any FPS in probably 18 months.

Bill, do you ever get tired of not having good taste? :) I mean, really. I hate sports. I think they're stupid (except topless pillow fighting and women's gymnastics and beach volleyball), but come on, even I think it would've been neat to have the bridesmaids of baseball playing each other...

One of my brothers had an Intellivision and a semi-portable TV with like a 9" screen. He was 13 and I was 5, though, so I literally never got to play it. The stuff I thought was neat was... mind-blowing, like the fact that the Dealer's eyes in a card game followed the play of the cards, and the...

You read it here first. Seriously. I heard a pensioner praying to god for justice for that guy. I mean, it's one thing to hate somebody, but when you start telling god to do it, I gotta figure that's serious.

Whatever you all are whining about, it has nothing on the sheer hate being cast at the guy who ruined game 6 for the Cubs. I mean, I've spoken to 60ish grandmothers who were wishing painful deaths on that poor guy.

Works fine in Firebird .7/Win32 and 1.4a/Linux.

What happens when you show "Pong" to a 10-year-old raised on Playstation 2? Read this, find out, and try not to piss yourself.

Books, unless you have lots of 21" monitors.

Is it really hard for beginners to get started?

I think describing intelligence as the ability to reason misses the mark, substantially; it discounts the other factors that make up the mind, to say the least. Everyone knows what I mean when I talk about "Rain Man"-type individuals. Idiot-Savants. Are those people truly intelligent, or is...

Automobile emissions are a source of many things that don't mix very well with lungs, and then there's the whole issue in most of the Western World of dependence on the Middle East for oil. And also presidents named Bush would have fewer excuses for starting wars. The problem with Fuel Cells...

Development on it is ending. :( IMAP is absolutely a marvelous thing. The easy to use and maintain servers are insecure as all hell (firewall 'em), but besides containing email on a server, IMAP can also be used for file services in a home directory and the mail spool files for at least the...

I like Moz Mail better than thunderbird - I really miss having the direct browser integration (no open in new tab function), but I'm trying really hard to move to tbird, because I know I'll have to get over the change eventually.

And a link, just in case.

I have three MaxLine IIs already. I don't see why I would stop buying big drives.

Like maybe the test is too easy? It's also possible that the reason is that the folks here are mostly a couple of standard deviations away from the mean to begin with. Tannin would probably have some interesting things to say about this stuff, with the statistical nature of IQ scoring. IQ is...

timwhit, I don't want to say. It's not something I wear on my sleeve or that's particularly useful information. If I'm the guy with an IQ of X, then I'll be known forever as "the guy with an IQ of X, who couldn't figure out or failed at Y" with my every screwup.

Visionary Philosopher according to that test. No comment on my score. I actually know my IQ, and I question the value of using a 40-question exam to assess it, but I can accept that it's at least as good as a lot of other "Know your IQ" self-administered tests. I'll just say that there was a...

I was refering to the 3.5 to 5.25 adaptors that a lot of cases would have to use to fit in a HH hard disk. I can do without a floppy, but since a lot of cases only have 2 3.5" bays, I think a lot of other people might have a problem with that.

Half-height and larger drives are kind of a PITA in desktop cases. Besides, how many of those half-height 180GB SCSI monsters has Seagate sold?

In the plants I worked in the towers had pumps. The area around the towers was louder than the plant floor.

No. It's ONLY 350GB. 30GB larger than the biggest MaxLine now. 700GB... now that would be sexy. Especially @ 7200rpm+. I believe that falls into the "dream on" category but maybe we'll get lucky.

32x LiteOn OK?

That's pretty much how I do things. Sort of. Usually there's a lot of people complaining with major_package_X isn't working with RedHat. A lot of time, I work with the tar.gz's rather than RPMs. The instructions tend to work better and are more adaptable; there's not much of a chance that...

Do they have enchiladas in Finland?

MMMmmm 525GB of Maxliney goodness.

The Belarc Advisor is usually pretty good at identifying motherboards.

IIRC, Maxtor is the only company to actually adopt the ATA/133 designation. Everybody else calls their drives ATA100. This is semantics. If it's bigger than 128GB, it needs LBA48 support. Large numbers of Firewire and USB2 enclosures do seem to have a 120GB limit. Some newer models advertise...

My only nforce2 machine is in an equipment rack from whence it shall not be moved, but if you've got an i875, KT266a, 333, 400 or 600, SiS 735 or 748, I can probably manage something.

Try Spamihilator. It works by setting itself up as a POP3 gateway for your mail. You could also try a non-sucking e-mail client like Thunderbird, which has builtin spam filtering. If you've got a real mail server Procmail is your best friend in the whole world.

... and this is his castle More shots here.

You do know that you normally have to unmount the CD-ROM drive to eject a CD, right? Would it be easier if I just shipped you a preconfigured hard disk?

Use "rpmbuild --rebuild" instead. I stand by my assessment that the only thing that makes nforce2 worthwhile is soundstorm.

Yeah. Tee-Hee. It's fucking hilarious when the president-by-proclamation jokes about dictatorship. Almost as funny as all those slave labor jokes the Khmer Rouge used to tell.

Ian, since I know you're at least somewhat familiar with *nix, you might also want to look at Samba version 3 to replace NT4 servers.

Outlook XP sucks a little less than Outlook 2000 (I don't use either, but I do manage an Exchange server). Personally, I don't think we've gained anything since Office 95 (spellcheck on the fly, LFN support, no crappy Outlook). I know some people use the Internet integration stuff, but to be...

In general, no, I don't think there should. That whole "Life, Liberty and Pursuit of Happiness" thing. In the context of parody web sites, certainly not. Unless GWB was somehow slandered or threatened - in which case he would have legal recourse, there's no reason to deny someone else his right...

I'm a little hesistant to purchase Bay Networks anything, and Netgear = Bay Networks. I've never been a fan of their high-end equipment. Just from cursory examination, it appears the WRT is still disconnecting. This is a desktop PC with a USB adaptor, and I'm only maybe 15 feet from the silly...

If you've got 200x Servers and Active Directory, it's probably a lot easier to just assign machines the service packs. I also make use of Software Update Services to keep my clients in line.

See? Herr Dipshit thinks it's funny. [/url] --George W Bush ... and one from daddy, just because it further illustrates the family's attitudes: [/url]

You really want our head of state saying things like "There ought to be limits to freedom"?
