…and then we tweaked it a bit more and did some re-coding and then decided, “Aww the hell with it. Let’s just call it “mojave” and that will fix everything!!”

I don’t get it. Who is he?
Oh, damn, my answer ended up not nesting with your question. I phailx0r.
( (But see below.)
this is bill gates, the founder of Microsoft.
when the captioner says, “we tweaked it a bit more and did some re-coding, and then decided, “awww hell, let’s just call it ‘mojave,’ and that’ll fix everything!” he is making fun of the new Windows Vista (which is apparently no better than any other previous version of Vista), called “Mojave.” they’re saying that rather than actually fixing Vista’s problems, Microsoft just gave it a new, fancy name, and made some new ads.
Actually, they didn’t change a thing with Vista. They said they did, to see how people reacted. When people said ‘Wow, this is awesome! You fixed everything!’ They said ‘Actually, we didn’t do a damn thing, we just called is something different because everyone heard bad things about Vista, and refused to try it.
Mojave = Vista, no changes. People just actually used it, instead of believing all the crap they read on the internet.
No, they didn’t ‘use it’, it was demoed.
I’ve done enough demos of crap software to consider that ‘pre-sales’ has less morality than giving proscribed drugs to 8 year olds to give them the taste for later…
Having said that. Mojave is not ‘Windows 7′, so that’s a valid point.
omg u dont know who that is!?
Bill Gates. (It says right under the picture.
) )
.
If you did read it and are still asking this question … Google it. ;oP
Yeah, I don’t know who that is.
And I don’t know what you mean by “google” it. It’s actually spelled “googol” and it’s not a verb.
I’m so confused.
You sir, are putting forth falsehoods. You can’t be internet savvy enough to be able to post here and still have never heard of the largest search engine, Google. You are a troll.
I’m sorry I upset you.
Sorry. I just get really upset about that stuff.
YEA! WHAT THAT PERSON SAID! I think he’s joking…at least I hope he’s joking. If he’s never heard of google, then he must be the person with the least amount of life in teh worldz.
But yes, I have no idea what I was about to say or the implications of what i just said.
Have a nice day, and check out google.com . its sexy.
This wasn’t me this time. Bob is hijacking me again. I made the troll comment, but not the follow up.
What is a troll?
A troll is someone who tries to cause trouble on message boards. Sometimes they post insulting things, or just really crackpot opinions, and sometimes they pretend to be really stupid so people will correct them. It’s ‘troll’ as in fishing, you know, trolling? Like you’re fishing for a particular kind of response. That’s what people think you’re doing, because it’s hard to imagine someone who doesn’t know what google is, and doesn’t recognize Bill Gates. Maybe you are just very new to computers and the Internet? But you seem to know how to use a browser well enough, so…
Troll feeding, Seth?
You guys take this stuff way too seriously.
Yeah, we’re soooooooo serious. ;o)
Why so serious?
How about a magic trick?
I’m going to make this pencil disappear.
BAAM! And it’s just Gone…
*claps and jumps up and down*
Again! Again!
thank you thank you. Unfortunately that happens to be my only trick and it usually only works once.
Unless of course I can find a willing volunteer for time number two.
Here’s my card……..
I get the feeling we’re going to be doing this for a looong time.
Of course!
How many Technophiles does it take to sharpen a pencil?
None of them know how because it’s not electric.
I have an electric sharpener…
WAY too seriously.
how can someone take something that is intrinsically unfunny ‘too seriously’?
wah! lol
minervera146, he’s only doing what his nickname says, being a “Party Pooper.” XD
Pooper as in ‘leaving shit everywhere’
Danbala, dnftt! Then they start going through your trash and next thing you know they’ve completely forgotten how to forage for themselves. Plus, you got a little…uh…
*wipes troll goo off Danbala’s sleeve*
See?
I thought it could be non-trolly, since I myself at first had problems recognizing Bill Gates in this photo. But considering the caption, yes: I could have put one and one together and ended up with something more than one. ;oP
I guess that’s honest enough.
Windoes Vistuh is teh scuk.
Actually, I rather like it. It works well for me, and I don’t even have a dual processor system.
It’s a bloated hardware hog, with no compelling features over and above its predecessor. I keep an XP partition on one of my home boxes for the sake of games, but for everything else it’s Apple or Linux all the way.
Besides, I wouldn’t want to damage my lefty-cred by supporting a corporatist pile of crap peddled by fat-cats to sheeple consumerists.
Linux is not just for leftys ya know!
I have an Ubuntu partition as well. : )
Indeed not, but there’s a strong “progressive” argument for using it. Linux was created and is maintained by a community, not a corporation. Anyone can open and alter the source code as they see fit, and because it is completely open to inspection, it is more difficult for nefarious vendors to slip in nefarious things.
Do you use Linux, Ema? I’m pleasantly surprised!
Well not at home yet, I’ve been a unix programmer for many years. We’re switching all our servers to Linux where I work, it’s cheap and that’s good for business! ; ) As a matter of fact the whole open source movement is very good for business.
It’s not good for Bill’s business.
Haha!! ; )
I find the anti-bill sentiment very common, and I guess I get it- but I do not see pp consistently (small pockets of pp do) getting nearly as upset over Haliburton’s “business” tactics, or Seimans- for petes’ sake, I am pretty sure HB will get into the same trouble soon on that end as well. Walmart is MUCH worse- but I bet most of the anti-bill coalition shop their daily, and the Walmart major shareholders (the family) all totaled give less than 100K in philanthropy a year. Their own minimum wage earning, no health care insurance having, work without even getting paid the crap we do pay workers give MORE in WM name. I mean I do get it- I am an Apple user and lover- PC at work, Apple at home. And I get that he played on the rude end of the pool, and maybe even shady end as well- but seriously, come up with better- Firefox did, google did…Bill at least has taken all the money he made (whether you think honestly or not), and done a great deal of good with it…
He’s not so bad, it’s just the whole trying to create a monopoly and stifling creativity thing people don’t like.
I disagree that he tried to stifle creativity – I think that’s just your perception because he’s not as pro-open source. That’s kind of the nature of business. Of course he wants to monetize creativity, not just see it floating around for free.
That said, if you still think he’s anti-creativity, check out the schooling program he developed. It’s so rad, I wish I could have gone when I was in school – I would have loved it, for a change. He should just NAME his school “Creative” because that’s what it is geared for. The ironic thing is, quite frankly, the model of the school is everyone has personal projects they work on with others that are for the common good – very “open source-y”!
There is actually a very good business selling support for open source applications. There is also a huge incentive for programmers to be creative and add something important to a project to make a name for themselves and be in demand getting higher salaries for the experience.
I’m sure it isn’t his intention to stifle creativity… But I’m sure he would prefer any new innovations be Microsofts only.
I haven’t heard anything about the school, it does sound nice.
Ema, for knowing code, you are my hero. Again
)
I’m lucky if I can get the computer turned on, much less program the damn thing!
Well, if y
crap! finger slipped. I was going to say, if you’re looking for Halliburton outrage, check Democratic Underground or Daily Kos.
As for Bill, I used to post fire & brimstone on him all day long, back when the wounds over Netscape & the monopoly trial were still fresh. I’ve mellowed a good bit since then, but the distaste remains strong.
Well, one thing about Windows is that is so very global. One of few things that can unite people of all colours and creeds is M$-hatred. ;o)
A Unix programmer? Awesome! I had no idea.
Yes, many years, although I’m getting real tired of it and considering a career change…
My respect for you continues to grow, ema. Any idea what you might want to do? Management maybe?
Why thanks Seth! No, I could never do management I avoid it like he plague! Maybe go back to school, I was thinking law school but I have to sell some property first and it’s not going so well. I hope the economy improves soon.
Well good luck. If I were to change careers (I’m a Unix sysadmin), it would be architecture.
I love architecture! They say everyone changes career 2 or 3 times in their lifetime, it’s not an easy thing to do but keeps life interesting.
2-3 times? Hehe. I’ve been a dishwasher, a chef, a gardener, a cashier,
a salesman, a canvasser, a tech writer, a programmer, a sysadmin, and a medical cannabis farmer. All by the time I was 30. I’m sticking with sysadmin for a while longer. Architecture is a hard field to get into, requires long study and apprenticeship.
I’m a fomer Fortran, dBase, and RDB programmer. I was going to learn C but my career took a turn towards network engineering. I absolutely love IT and can’t think of anything I would rather be doing.
“Medical cannabis farmer” Seth, you just became my hero.
In San Francisco, for four years. I also did computer security for C.H.A.M.P (Cannabis Helping Alleviate Medical Problems) keeping the Federal Government out of our patient records. It was the best club, ever. I mean, we had city supervisors in the club praising us. We had a federally funded hospital ask us to make deliveries. The city DPH asked us to draft guidelines for a citywide cannabis card program. But the FBI was still after us. So I devised a little plan. We kept all our records on an encrypted file system. The server was in a lockied cabinet with a kill switch inside. If you didn’t know the trick to opening the cabinet, it would instantly power off the server. I also installed a series of kill switches around the club disguised as phone jacks, so if we were raided, and put up against the wall, we could kick a nearby switch and shut everything down. Good times.
*beams* Stoned nerds untie ; )
Seth you are my hero. Seriously.
I’m in IT right now, sysadmin for a small business. Anyway, is there a lot of demand for off-site data storage for dispensaries and growers? That is a business I could DEFINATELY see myself enjoying.
Why did you get out of the business? Legal reasons?
The club closed down. After the Oakland verdict, management got scared. They stopped accepting new members for fear of infiltration. Bad idea when most of your patients have cancer or AIDS. Then when management saw things going south, they started embezzling money. That killed it.
–
As for off site storage, I’m not so sure. We were a very unusual club, most don’t have anywhere near our level of organization and professionalism. Quite a few are sort of fly-by-night operations. I never heard of any other clubs that kept computerized records. We did for several reasons, including using our data in several important studies. Nobody else could point to hard data and say, “40% of our patients have AIDS, 30% have cancer, 10% have Hep-C” and so forth.
Just have to point out, most hard core Linux programmers work for
corporations nowadays. IBM is a huge Linux supporter. Redhat and Novell have many Linux programmers working on various projects.
True, but thanks to the GPL, those corporations have some pretty serious constraints on their behavior. The example that was made of SCO helps, too. Microsoftian behavior (breaking compatibility over versions, OS hooks, claims to inter-connectedness and indivisibility) is much more difficult to undertake in the FOSS arena.
I was told that Mac OS X Leopard is Linux based.
Been very very happy with my Mac Book
I like Linux in theory, but in practice, I don’t have the time or desire to learn how to tweak it to work on my system.
Have you tried Ubuntu? It requires very little tweaking on most systems.
Will it run all the Vista compatible software I buy, right out of the box?
Nope, however, there is an open source version of nearly everything you might want to buy. And the installer makes it very easy to set up a dual boot system, so if you cannot find a good free replacement, you can reboot into Windows.
@PM, it is pretty spectacular. I’ve messed around with Linux for years, never really spending a lot of time with it. Ubuntu is my favorite so far. Linux is really becoming mainstream.
Hehe. Yeah, when I installed Ubuntu I went all like “WTF? This is too easy and why do I have icons and menus and where the heck is my xterm!?!?!”
P
.
No, really, I did.
Yeah, it’s actually becoming easier to install than windows
Really, I use my system for entertainment and web browsing, so I think Vista is probably best for me. Still, I support Linux in theory.
You’re probably right. To be honest, most of the time I’m too lazy to boot out of windows into linux. All I ever really do is browse the web and
occasionally download/rip movies, music, etc.
I kinda just do it because I can. And because if Windows ever borks, I have a backup.
Left-handed. Windows is righty biased; more left-handed people die every year from using Vista than those eaten by their pet bunnies on Sundays.
don’t fear the penguin
I would have an xp partition on my laptop (hell I tried) but I don’t have a copy of 64 bit xp. I has a sad. : (
Actually, Bill is a pretty progressive guy, for a corporatist. So is his pal Warren Buffet.
Bill Gates: (Oh noes, I has to think fast… I kno!!!) But if you don’t buy vista, the fat cats won’t get fed!!!
XD
Good man, apple and Linux are indeed ftw. And for that matter: I don’t really care much about computer gaming. The ONLY kind of game that’s even REMOTELY better on the computer than on a console would be RTS (that’s Real Time Strategy for those of you who aren’t game-savvy out there) I has a PS3… it rocks.
What?
lolspeak should only be used to describe cute fuzzy cuddly things… It just doesn’t work well here on PK.
Ooooohhhhhhhh I get it.
you dont find bill gates cute, fuzzy and cuddly? lol
Maybe, if he paid me enough… ; )
And he could, too!
A pox on lolspeak and all its tribe!
*breaks out in kewt yiddle bumps*
I can haz oozing sores?
More like “Vista”. And here I am, using Vista… I never thought I would be, but I have to say, after the initial release woes and whatnot, I finally got a laptop with Vista. And of course, I was leery about it at first. I didn’t like the setup I saw in previews and whatnot, and heard plenty of reasons why it was no good. They fixed all the major issues people took with it, though, and I’m glad for that. Now, Vista’s a necessity and I can only look back at XP and think that it’s just old news. I can’t believe I’m saying it, but I like Vista. Now.
It just irritates me that it has to update so often. Otherwise, it’s good.
XP updated nearly as often as well
when it was new.
I have to agree with Phaelin
Vista updates Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays…
and Tuesdays, and Thursdays, and on the weekends….
That’s when it blue screens
I haven’t had mine bsod me yet. (Then ofc, I’ve only had it since August.)
I’ve had mine almost a year now, and no blue screen yet…knock on wood.
And less than an hour after that comment, it blue-screens on me. -_- Figures.
You’ve not used the MS MTP compat layer then…
That, I have not. Nor will I, as far as I can imagine.
I am a compulsive obsessive Microsoft+Windows hater, and I am very positively surprised by Vista.
Hahaha, I used to hate MS, but I got so pissed off at the apple fanboys that I became a microsoft fanboy out of spite (seriously, the apple adverts border on outright lieing and misinformation).
anyways, I like vista, I haven’t had any trouble with it yet. I’m hoping windows 7 will be even better (like the new file system they planned for vista). I saw some video demos and there are some graphical features i can already see mac fans crying foul “you stole that from apple”.
Oh, I hatesessss the mac too. ;o)
I just hate pretentious people. I have friends who use Mac and I’ve even liked Mac when I’ve used it, but when someone tries to tell me that their Mac is the hottest thing out there…well that doesn’t make me happy.
And if the Mac fanboys are going to say that Windows stole it from them, perhaps the Linux fanboys should remind them who it was Apple probably stole it from. Anything Mac can do, Linux can do better. Well, bells and whistles wise. If we’re going to talk software compatibility, Mac’s have them beat, but not by much. The only thing Mac has that Linux doesn’t is Adobe.
In response to the lol from the other day, though, I finally downloaded Firefox, and aside from the sides of the comment box being cut off sometimes, I like it a lot. Apparently IE has this huge security flaw that was just discovered, so I decided this was safer.
Firefox has some issues too i am shure.
but at least it is not so deep integrated into the system
you cant uninstall the Internet explorer without loosing the file explorer…
makes it for me questionable if the local file access is completely sandboxed from the remote access…
*watches as the majority of that comment goes flying over her head* Wow. I’ve still got a lot to learn.
My daughter is the computer whiz in the family, and she said when we bought our computer to watch out for Vista, but she’s been happy with it, for the most part…any questions about computers, if my IT Department can’t fix it, I call her…I’m just happy if I can log onto PK..the rest is all just too “Big Brother” for me…Hell, when I went to high school we didn’t even have a computer lab…am I really that old *ponders own mortality*
Hell, we didn’t even have hand calculators.. I learned on a slide rule!
O_O Woah. I thought my calc teacher was joking about that.
Oh yeah, we’re talking ancient history here. I even knew how to use an abacus at one time, but have forgotten over the years.
You learned in between dodo hunts, right? (Sorry…I’m just teasing now.
)
My boys tell me I’m so old I fart dust.. now THERE’S a self-esteem builder.. hehe
Kuro, in a way I pity you right now. I remember the first time I saw a digital clock, Pong, hand-held calculator, cordless phone, digital thermometer, fax machine, affordable computer (my first was a smokin’ Apple IIe, and my printer had interchangeable daisy wheels), cell phone, and a bunch of other cool innovations. It has been a fascinating ride. I’m sure you will see a lot of advancements in your time, and I hope you can be as excited as I’ve been over the years.
No joking about that…The funny thing is, I remember my parents trying to sit down and help me with math homework and complaining about the “new math”…I had no idea what they were talking about…now I sit down and try to help my three kids and complain about the “new math”…who knew math could change???!!!
My dad got confused helping me with my algebra in seventh grade. That was when I realized my parents would no longer be able to help me with my homework.
-
In elementary school, though, we did this stuff called CSMP in math class. That was a lot of fun, but they discontinued it right after I went into fifth grade, or somewhere around there.
It’s less ‘new math’ and more ‘trickle down math’… when I was doing my pre-University exams, I was doing mathematics that my now later father in law had done for his degree.
Firefox’s only issue is that some people design websites specifically for IE, even though it departs so far from web standards.
IE8 looks like it will be close enough to web standards though.
IETab sorts that. Uses the IE rendering engine without the bloat.
works on all my banking sites
Yeah, Firefox rocks. IE sucks; Vista is cool though.
Vista is a curate’s egg of a system. I was less than impressed to have to hack stuff via the CLI to install SP1.
I have never used Vista, but I haven’t heard many good things about it. I’m happy with my Mac Book
I don’t *like* Vista, I put up with it. I don’t think it’s *too* terrible, but my main problems with Vista revolve around the DRM issues. Think about it this way, you buy some music online (to avoid the cd middle man or perhaps to save some lootz) and a few years later that service goes out of business. That license is no longer valid and everyone who bought music (video/etc.) from that service can no longer listen to it due to the strict DRM problems in Vista. There was a situation not long ago involving some Wal-mart music service that had similar repercussions.
I meant to add that I think Vista is very pretty. It’s extremely easy on the eyes, but as we all know, looks aren’t everything.
Ubuntu with Compiz Fusion is prettier. *spins desktop cube*
Sweet! I must have it! Hooray for the hours I spent creating the Ubuntu partition (F you Vista for making it so horrendously difficult).
Oh yeah, Compiz rocks. It beats OSX, let alone Vista. I have mine set so that windows ‘beam down’ when you open them, go up in flames when you close them, and do this little genie from the lamp trick when you minimize or restore them. Plus, when you move them, they act like they’re made of rubber.
do you run KDE or GNOME?
in the KDE version (Kubuntu), it looks even more awesome.
or so I’m told. I haven’t tried too hard to get the extreme details yet because I haven’t tried to get the stuff up and running yet. However, I would recommend getting the previous version of KDE because the current one is not quite as functional yet.
KDE mostly. The DBAs and programmers here like it, so it’s what we support. But I set up my own, custom Compiz settings rather than using the KDE defaults. It is mind bogglingly configurable, I mean, there are all kinds of crazy settings once you start to dig into it.
I’ll have to look into it sometime. If I ever get motivated enough to reboot my computer and actually look into it I could probably have some fun.
I swear if they released all games on Linux, I would never touch Windows ever again. That’s the
biggestonly reason I keep that partition on my laptop. Well, that and Flash CS3 cause I need that for one of my classes.I built a new system for my wife and we decided to put Vista on it. She’s pretty much used to it now, but the growing pains were awful. I still use XP only because I can’t be bothered to install it.
The question remains…
What can you do with Vista that XP couldn’t do?
Vista is shuffleware of the highest caliber. They haven’t made any major improvements to the file system (like they originally promised), it still uses NTFS.
I see no reason to upgrade.
I can’t disagree with you there. But when it comes to buying a new computer, I’d much rather have Vista if only for its “newness”. In other words, purdy-lookin’ features that don’t really do much for me. But, it’s late and I really am not trying hard to think of new things I do with Vista that I couldn’t do with XP. (Search function owns, so I suppose that.)
The only added feature I really came across while fiddling with Vista it is that you no longer need another program to partition your drives. The unfortunate part is that they make it more difficult by putting major system files closer to the middle and end of the drive so that partitionable space is almost nonexistent unless you use some kind of pay defrag software. That and the added “security” features that do nothing but irritate everyone who knows what they’re doing.
That’s what gets me about Vista!!!
“You attempting to do X, Allow? or Deny?”
DO WHAT I FSCKING TELL YOU TO DO THE FIRST TIME AND STOP ASKING STUPID QUESTIONS!!!!
I would be fine with the annoyance, IF it actually prevented people from getting infected with spyware/virus etc. I’ve done just as many spyware removals on Vista as I have for XP recently. Vista actually makes the virus HARDER to remove, because it won’t let you do some of the things you want to do without inturrupting you.
I’m not pretentious enough for a mac.
lol, I just use it for recording and editing, and my schoolwork of course
I’m sure Hell Hath No Fury hath a mac…

How sad.. The best thing that ever happened to me (besides hubby, duh) was taking E. I am sad for DWN. Sad charro is sad. *pops e in drunken stupor*
Fool! Don’t you know that in the bottom of a purse the LSD mutates and becomes… SUPER LSD?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?
*Eyes fly wide open and dilate at rhorho while my face bears the horror of a maniacal rictus grin*
DW HORNY!!! RWAR!!!
*pounces rhorho, proceeds to bite and hump for a while before passing out and drooling on rhorho*
Hey–Why is my coat shredded?
Where are my clothes…?
*searches shredded coat pockets*
Where is my extra LSD? My contacts case? My lucky wheat penny?
I have this weird coppery taste in my mouth… And my vision is blurry… And why are my fingers talking to me? *flops over and is out again*
Uh.. Rho.. There was already a handle of rum in there….
*giggle-shrug-swoon*
*drunkenly hugs charro and rho*
“I think we need more rum in the Witches Brew!!!!”
shuur I thinks wee’z do tooz… Passth the rum.
Careful not to smoke near it, we’ll all go up in flames. Hell hath no fury like a burning cauldron. (teehee)
*lights cigarette*
“Huh?”
*tosses match over shoulder*
*hugs MG and Charro*
You four are the best witches EVAR!!*
Evar! *hic*
*hugs all around*
*takes mug from rho and refills*
“There’s actually six of us, keep drinking”
If you drink enough, you are never alone.
*chortles wickedly in secret and leaves ginger to be found then sneaks away*
*slurps a manhattan*
*now in drunken stupor*
Who’s Ginger?!!
The Redhead!
Gals! I found more ginger!!

Who’s Ginger!!!! *hiccup* *belch*
@pitty Nice. Very nice. Disturbing too though.
@MG: Not who. What, where it goes, and why.
Well I made the lol about Ginger when PK decides to let it actually load.
*is very interested in the “herbs”*
*begins mixing brownies…hoping there are herbs leftover*
*eyeing tray*
Yummie!!! Brownies!!!!
*gobbles down three*
*washes them down with more tequila*
Hmm. I…don’t think that’s going to go down well, mothergoose.
*takes a brownie*
*switches over to nice strong coffee with real cream and a shot of Goldschlager for a nice cinnamon bite*
Diss it went down ok…might be hell coming back up, though…
*hands MG a stack of assorted religious texts and wallpaper paste*
Here, you get started on these. Froo has already called for an old priest and a young priest, so we’re almost there.
*adds stake, vial and crucifix to pile of talismans, herbs, and weaponry*
but that was just because she fancies a menage a trois…
*adjusts collar*
What?
Ah, Father DeathWurm… I’m glad to see the clergy at the proceedings
Blessings of our lord of getting laid upon you. Have you brought the wine? Or do we need to use my personal stash?
Sorry Padre… Bourbon, guns, throwing knives,, ammo, holy water, cell phone with Exorcists, Mossad trained Rabbis, and an attack regiment of Tibetan shamen on speed dial, but no communion wine…
How about these seven bottles of
deadly zinfendel?
I use those for cleaning the Remington… now back up, you’re upsetting my mule.
Hmmm, I should have worn a more important hat. My stash it is then. *comes back grumbling with crossbow and swigging some wine*
Pass that around, we don’t have time. Just need to get the metaphorical blood of Christ in everybody in the room. At the very least, being tipsy might help our nerve. If you call anybody, make sure it is the monks, the other bastards would want some of my stash.
Don’t judge her, Unc. Everybody’s got a different kink, remember…???
And greased up clergy is hers…
No harm no foul… and if they’re Catholic you can sometimes get a pay out too…
Only as long as they are into mild bondage and self-flagellation. Otherwise, you can have them.
OK, Opus Dei
*opens a bottle of Bourbon and start loading a Remington*
It could be a long night
It’s quiet….too quiet.
*looks through night vision scope*
*realizes it’s daytime*
*takes cap off of night vision scope*
*pulls earplugs out of Dissimilitude’s ears*
*pulls TP square from Diss’s heel*
*darns Diss’s socks, does laundry, washes windows*
*fails at nesting comments properly*
You’re forgiven, have a drink…it don’t cost nothin’…
ummmm, thanks!
Good! That will help your nesting skills, or not hurt them, anyway…
Glad to see you guys got my back! ;o)
Now, who was it had the tequila last?
*drunkenly raises head*
Ummm…I think it might have been Fitz…
Yep!
Well, pass it to the stunning older redhead then, Fitz! ;o)
Brandi doesn’t drink….oh you?
Yes, smartass. ;o)
I was talking about my stunning, 6 months older than me, redheaded girlfriend
Awesome! You can still pass the tequila to the old broad, right?
Of course
Aw, thanks! Little late, though, as I’ve switched drinks to go with Steve’s brownies. Mothergoose thinks tequila goes with them, but I’m not sure htat’s a good idea.
These brownies are tasting a little off…
@Diss: Care to share in a redheaded tequila fest?
@rho: Oh, absolutely!
*falls off barstool* ’s ok, everyone! I’m alright!
*is glad she’s wearing nice underwear*
Maybe I should stick with my coffee with real cream and Goldschlager…I’ll share if you want some of that, though!
Why thank you! That sounds like just the thing to kill whatever is wrong with these brownies. *makes mental note to give Steve a better recipe*
Nice underwear, btw. *makes mental note to try underwear again*
Noooooooooooooooo, no underwear for rhorho! That’d be just wrong!
And Goldschlager is wasted in coffee; you can’t see the pretty gold flecks swirling around. Any cinnamon schnapps will do in coffee, though brandy or Irish whiskey would be better; Goldschlager should be sipped on its own. Preferably quite cold.
I already see little gold flecks floating around…
Wanna brownie, Hawt stuffz?
*sits next to Fester and takes a swig from bottle, lights cigarette, pumps 12-gague*
“You’ve got the silver bullets, dontcha Unc?”
Never without em since that ‘little misunderstanding’ in the Schwartzwald…
Ol’ Lucille here can spit them with alacrity…
*Drunkenly stumbles over to Unc*
“I learned to shoot with my Red Rider BB Rifle with compass and thing in the stock that tells time”
*hiccups*
Gonna put your eye out with that thing.
Silver bullets? Personally, I like my hydrashocks. Got a light, mothergoose? Some drunk guy ran off with my lighter. Something about an experiment.
*hands over Zippo*
*lights cigarette and takes another drink*
Oh, thank you!
*looks at Diss*
You’re welcome.
*Pulls out Bottle of Finlandia and takes giant swig*
Can I have my lighter back?
*hands lighter back*
Of course! You…don’t have any idea where mine’s gotten to, do you? I lose more stuff that way.
*gives lighter back to diss*
Happy Festivus
Aw, thank you, mg!
*rummages through purse*
I got you…um…oooh! Candy? I have Altoids and mini Snickers.
*mind going into overdrive at Altoids reference*
The lighter fairies got it. They always get me. Then
somehow I end up with 400 lighters hanging around that I have no idea where they came from. They giveth and they taketh away.
Excuse me, I believe you may have my lighter?
*druken rage*
Why doe it have to be lighter fairies…why can’t they be heavy faries!!!!
*realizes through druken haze that Jules is not HHNF*
Ooooopps!! Sorry, Jules…I’m just a bittle lit tipsy…
HAHA! It’s entirely excusable MG. *gives diss 3 lighters that suddenly appeared in a side pocket*
Oooh, super!
*promptly loses two*
*and loses car keys*
*and cellphone*
*finds cell phone*
*uses it to call MS customer support*
You’re in a helicopter!
Core-Lokt Ultra sabot tends to clear most folks sinuses…
*sits next to MG, pulls out shot glass, tequila bottle, salt and lime*
*lays out Tarot cards*
Okay, when Death shows, we all take a shot. Got it?
I have a better game, when you draw a card, take a shot
*feeling effects of Witches Brew, rum, burbon and tequila*
Wait…Shot of Tequila or shot from gun?
Tequila
Russian roulette?
Swedish roulette–less violent
Quarters, anyone?
fa sho
*checks pockets*
Dimes, anyone?
canadian nickels? Buttons? just gimme the damn alcohol lol
*passes bottle to Fitz*
WHOOP!
*drunkenly examines pocket change*
Hey–I just doubled my money!!
*grins stupidly*
*pulls lint out of pockets*
Hey-where’d all my change go?
*tsk tsk* Neglectful bunch. Nobody brought music.
*unpacks 2 turntables, speakers, etc, and several crates of vinyl*
Any requests? Personally I like to start with Parliament/Funkadelic, play around in Stax/Volt territory for a while, move up to James Brown and end up with Louis Armstrong via Dizzy Gillespie and Chano Pozo. But that’s just me. Pass me that punch, it’s on like Donkey Kong!
That all sounds wonderful, but I thought we should begin with some songs dedicated to HHNF. How about starting off with “Little Miss Can’t Be Wrong?”
Ignatz, you may be a new hero of mine. I was just going to sing badly but if you’re bringin on the funk, I’m there. James Brown = The Man!
*crocks the glow shticksh*
It’s on like Donkey Kong!
Two slugs on the hanged man… don’t forget that.
And on the lovers we spin the bottle….
*hic* I see you’ve done this sorta thing before. Ever played a little game called “Indian?”
Is it anything like ‘Old Maid’?
It’s exactly like Old Maid, except there aren’t any cards or any Old Maid. The game solves the age-old quandary, “How do you wake up dead?”
I honestly believe that HHNF is actually more disliked then EP. Am I wrong here?
Eddie!!!!
*Drunkenly staggers over to Eddie*
Did you bring the Foster’s?
Ewwwwww.. no Foster’s will ever be found in my fridge, love.

*hands over a slab of Toohey’s New*

Now that’s Australian.. Foster’s is made only for export.
and degreasing things…
as a drink it goes down like malty water, comes up like battery acid and mkae you wish you’d died the morning after…
LOL! Too true..
Gonna have to try some Toohey’s, Eddie…wonder if I can find it in the States? *heading to Google*
*hugs Eds* Did you come for the HHNF hideout, or the party? Wait… I forgot the difference…
What, no VB?
@ Eds: I think you’re right. EP was, at the very least, capable of answering for his convictions, and consistent in his beliefs. HHNF changes stories to fit the argument she’s trying to make, and lacks that certain something I like to call “integrity.” I’m not trying to make a big case for EP, as he and I got into it on several occasions. If we’re comparing trolls, however, HHNF lacks teh speshul.
IMHO, yes. Her opinions are baseless, but she’s just witty enough to draw people in to try to steer her in the right direction. Boiled down, nothing more than a troll. EP, say what you will, had the courage of his convictions.
I’m beginning to love double posts…
(So, I mean, something good came out of it, for me.)
.
The guy, btw, if it hasn’t been front page material in other countries, is Théoneste Bagosora, a.k.a. “Africa’s Hitler”, who was just convicted in the UN war crime court thing, for genocide (of some 800,000 tutsi).
Did PK nest this post for you? I *love* it when that happens, too!
Yeah… No. I wish I could blame PK, but it was all my own mistake this time.

Oh, but some of the “reasoning” in yesterday’s (and the Walmart) thread inspired me to make a lol today! (Name, link, y’all know the drill…. ;oP )

EP I haven’t seen around much at all since I started here, mostly in older threads, so s/he is out. An internet community is a fickle lover…
Ugh, invoke not the attention-whore.
It was saddening to see poor Seth wasting time trying to rehabilitate her.
Saddening yes…but an inspired effort from Seth, dontcha think?
Truly!
*cuts heart shape out of red construction paper; writes “Seth” on it*
Definitely. Didn’t help much, but he gave it a valiant try.
It was Quixotic…
Yes, but in the states we say, “kinky.”
Speaking of kinky, Unc…In this light, you look just like Christopher Hitchens…
let me whisper to you why I think God is an arse…
Let me whisper to you why I think rho’s arse is god……
According to Voltaire, “God is a comedian playing to an audience too afraid to laugh.” That means nobody can laugh at my butt? Kewl!
Okay, but put on the Rahm Emanuel mask. Don’t worry: I’ve put some air holes in it since the last time.
Ummm, he might need them by his nostrils. These are at the forehead. That’s just mean.
Unc breathes through his skin.
Amphibian knowledge fail.
I figured he just had a lot of time on his hands yesterday. I’ve been busy as heck lately, but I’m feeling slack today.
My work waxes and wanes, but, even when it’s busy, PK is usually a nice 5-minute vacation. Notice I said “usually?”
I was lucky. My project was in a design phase during the latter part of the election, so I had lots of time between meetings to just post away on PK. Now it’s implementation time, and there’s code to be written and a schedule to be kept!
Hehe. I’m a sysadmin, and pretty good at it. Which means most everything is automated and I just sit here staring at the “Everything’s A-OK!” light most of the time. Lots of free time for posting. Although we have been pretty busy lately, we just switched our main database back end from HP-UX to Linux, saving the state over a hundred thou a year in licensing fees.
Wow!! That could buy you a senate seat in Illinois!!
…wouldn’t be in the market for a PFY, would you?
BOFH reference win! We were actually looking, but what with the economy being like it is, that’s been put on hold.
Drat. *puts away rubber-soled shoes*
Yeah, I have a friend who’s a network admin. The better you are at it, the less work you have to do.
Did you look at the FreeBSD stuff?
Yeah, I love FreeBSD too. We don’t use it here, we were a Novell shop before they switched to Linux, so now we use Novell’s Suse Linux for everything we can.
I preferred the better developed userland in *BSD.
As weapon of choice, I have PCBSD Edison sweating the assets on the a PIII laptop. It manages my book collection (with barcode reader)
PC-BSD Fibonacci looks pretty, but I don’t see the point for upgrading
It’s like playing the tape in The Evil Dead…
PK ate my thoughts on that subject. Perhaps it will be so good as to post them later, but the fact that the filter grabbed it should be statement enough.
Nice. I hope it’s regurgitated sometime in the future so we can all see it.
Ha! Appeared directly above my post saying that PK ate it!
I’m surprised it ate that one and not the smiley. PK acts in mysterious ways…
I am.
Mmm, I am. Have had a Mac for years, stand by their reliability. My non-computer-literate mother has my old (1999) grape iMac, which has travelled around the world–I took it to Japan with me when I moved there, and shipped it back to my mom when I got a new alien iMac (the gooseneck model)–and that little purple box has never needed repairs.
The most frequent argument against Apple by MS supporters (that I’ve seen) is that there’s not enough software for the Mac, compared to PCs; usually games are the topic there. But Apple software and MacOS are terribly flexible and it’s possible to run PC software on the new Intel Macs; and for games, well, that’s why I have consoles.
I’m just sayin’, it’s not all pretension ^^
They’re really good computers. They’re also really expensive and don’t have a lot of the software options that PCs have.
Oh, I don’t deny the cost of them, and I acknowledge that there are some software limitations. But never having repairs on a computer that’s going on ten years old? Literally, never. That’s worth more than what I paid for it back then.
Since I’m just an end-user–not a programmer–the Mac fulfills all my minimal needs: internet, mostly; gaming (I’m not hard-core and I don’t play MMORPGs); word processing (I bought a beautiful little text editor called TexEdit, which reminds me so much of WordPerfect that it makes me happy, but which is just as powerful as a big editor). I have OpenOffice for anything MS that I need to create or open (Word, Excel, etc.). I also use Adobe products, which are fabulous. I’ve never had MacOS crash on me.
Anyway, all that to say, for me, the value is clear, but of course everyone’s mileage (and need) varies ^^
An excellent point. : )
I love the name by the way
I have a Mac Mini as an integral piece of my entertainment stack. Not because I have any fandom for Mac OS (in fact, I kinda hate it) but you can’t beat that form factor, and it’s whisper-quiet. I’d see about slapping Ubuntu on it, but I’m suffering vendor lock-in from iTunes.
mojave is just the fake name they used to trick people like you who never used vista and just listens to what everybody says. vista isnt that bad. i dont have any problem with it on my laptop. only thing that sucks is the annoying admin pop up thing everytime you wanna install or delete or run certain programs
As irritating as that can get, it’s saved my butt from downloading things I clicked on by accident. You techo-literate people can probably stop it another way, but it’s helped my clueless self.
Thats another reason I have a Mac. It is very user friendly for the computer-stupid such as myself
Along those lines, most of the evil crap out there is targeted at Windows users, and simply won’t run on a Mac or Linux box. Also, the way Mac and Linux are set up usually has the user running with limited rights, which Vista is only just now belatedly providing to Windows users.
what do you mean by “evil crap” and “limited rights”? I’m not kidding when I say computer illiterate. I know how to use the internet, Garage Band, Word, and a few games, END!
Evil crap is stuff like browser hijackers, viruses, trojans, worms, etc. There are scripts that run invisibly, which subvert your machine and can make it part of a bot-net. These bot-nets are used by spammers and criminals to attack other pieces of the net. Anything from defacing websites to cracking banks to knocking out public-service infrastructure. Evil Crap.
Click my name for a story that will horrify and educate you.
Wow. Is there any purpose to all that BS?
Several, take your pick. Money is always a winner, and spamming is huge business. Hence the ferocious attack on Blue Frog when they actually came up with an active spam-counter-measure that fought back. (Basically sent the spam source a “piss off” message for every spam message received.)
The other big reason would be asymmetric warfare. Take a power plant offline, steal some secrets, etc. Cyber-jihad, basically.
Ah, I gotcha, or just some programmers looking to cause trouble?
If only it were that innocent. Cyber crime is becoming more and more an arm of organized crime. It’s not Matthew Broderick wardialing with his 1200 baud modem anymore, that’s for sure!
I guess I just don’t understand the mind of a criminal.
I want my money for nothing and my chicks for free!
Oh wait, that’s rock stars…you get the idea.
Ah Dire Straits..
Yeah, and occasionally it’s just for notoriety. I linked a story about a guy who hacked into Comcast’s network a while back and told them about it. I thought they offered him a job, but according to the article I was mistaken on that one. Back then he was known in some circles as “Satan Clause”.
*warily* um, are we allowed to discuss serious, non-religiopolitical things here? If so, I have a question. Do any of you IT types know much about getting into IT-type security? I’m currently in security (please note, that’s two words, not insecurity) but getting bored and feeling stuck. I really find this arene intriguing though and I know there’s a groing need for it, but I don’t know where to start looking.
Ok, we now return you to your regularly scheduled drunken stupor. Oh wait, that’s further up the thread.
IT security is indeed a growing field. I believe many community colleges have 2 year programs in it. Getting a few certs is also good, CompTIA serve+, Network+, and Security+ would be a good start.
Argh, that’s supposed to be ‘Server+’
It’s complicated as hell and is constantly evolving. I say this because I’m currently trying to get a handle on it myself! I’ve written code that assumed the user was properly authenticated and authorized, but I’ve not written the code that does the authenticating and authorizing. Guess what my current task list includes…
Control Panel > User Accounts > Turn User Account Control On or Off
Then just uncheck the box and hit Ok
You can turn that off.
PK nesting fail. : (
Grrr, somehow it’s fixed now.
That “bouncing post” thing happens to all of us, from time to time.
Doh, I posted further down but PK screwed it. You can turn that off.
I’m a true progressive. I only use software I wrote myself on a computer cobbled together from used tampons and goodwill.
I hope Bill doesn’t lurk on PK. If he catches wind of your conspiracy, he’ll have your house and car by sundown.
That rig’s GOT to be running BeOS.
LOL
Bill Gates to Get Half
Redmond, WA–In a move designed to hasten the inevitable, billionaire Microsoft tycoon Bill Gates announced yesterday that from now on, he will be getting half.
Gates, whose savvy and aggressiveness propelled his Microsoft Corporation to the top of the business world and made him America’s richest man with an estimated fortune of $18 billion, announced his plan at a press conference yesterday from his Seattle-area compound. “I get half,” he explained.
It has not yet been decided if Gates’ half will be taken straight down the middle or by liquidating all assets and dividing up raw capital. The question will be settled later this week by a special session of Gates’ half of the U.S. Congress.
“Don’t touch anything until you’re sure it’s not part of my half,” Gates instructed the world’s citizenry yesterday via the several million 40-foot-high projection screens he has scattered throughout the globe. “I don’t want anyone messing up stuff in my half.”
Until everything can be clearly divided between Gates and persons who are not Gates, measures will be taken to ensure the integrity of Gates’ half.
Citizens are instructed to remain in their homes, consuming a carefully monitored minimum of their perishables and subjecting their personal possessions to as little wear and tear as possible.
In the event something belonging to Gates is consumed or damaged, Gates announced he will take punitive action, levying fines of up to $14 billion, and may even insist that offenders themselves be included in his half.
“Don’t take from my half,” the 36-year-old Gates said. “Ice cream and cool cars are part of my half.” Gates also expressed interest in possessing Apple, IBM and the former Soviet Union.
“You know, I own the Bettman Archive,” Gates said. “You can’t look at it unless I say so.”
Gates’ half will be collected via an advanced subroutine built directly into Windows 95. Computer users without Windows 95 will have it automatically sent to them, with the cost of the program deducted from their half.
Those without computers will be directed to special Gates-owned DNA-resequencing centers where a special bio-silicate form of Windows 95 will be injected directly into their bloodstreams. Once in the bloodstream, the Windows program is designed to breed virally at the base of its host brainstem and to begin work on calculating Gates’ half.
“Everyone must contribute to my half,” Gates said. “Any number, no matter how small, can be divided into two halves, one of which will be mine.”
Gates would not comment on the possibility of eventually increasing his share from a mere half to a controlling interest.
Sources close to Gates would neither confirm nor deny rumors that Gates might offer up to 15 percent of his half in exchange for the other half of the world.
“The transitional period may be difficult,” Gates said. “But it will be quick. I hope that this time will be remembered pleasantly in the half of people’s minds that remain their own.”
ROFLMAO!!
HAH! Sounds like the onion : )
Ding! Ding! We have a winner! It’s a very old Onion piece (as witnessed by the $14 billion part, Gates has been worth much more than that for over a decade.)
And the “windows 95″ part too.
Th Onion is always a winner! By the way, Seth, as noted above…you did an admirable job trying to rehab HHNF yeaterday…
For reals. Above and beyond.
She has some redeeming qualities that made me feel the effort might not be totally wasted, and she’s young. I was kinda arrogant at 23, too.
Me too. I’m still pretty arrogant. I can usually admit when I’m being a jackass though.
Ah but you were so much older then…
I’m younger than that now.
amen.
I remember being so certain of many things…
Dun dun dunnnn… I for one, welcome our future overlords. I have great people that will help in finding slaves for the sugar mines…
*people skills.
I fail today. *headdesk*
You could’ve let it go, you know. I just thought you had a recruiting team.
Compulsive behavior and self editing once again lead to my downfall. *headdesks again*
Good point though.
*Pats DWM on shoulder*
Buck up camper, there’s all kinds of alcohol being passed around above, come on up…
I love windows vista. Mac sucks.
I love brooms. Vacuums suck.
LMAO
<3 Nice
Seth. Really. You are my hero.
How much awesome do you have left?
I’m going to stay tuned…
Obvious troll is obvious.
Lol caption fail at understanding what the mojave expiriment was ;p
The Mojave experiment? Wasn’t that a cynical advertising campaign designed to convince people they don’t really know how cool Vista is? Oh yeah, imagine that, with Vista already installed, on hardware that Microsoft chose, and with Microsoft leading them by the hand, and cherry picking only positive responses, people ‘liked’ Vista. Surprise, surprise.
–
This captioner obviously understood EXACTLY what the Mojave ‘experiment’ really was.
TBH, the ‘Mojave’ experiment was nonsense, since they really didn’t allow BAU type usage by the users (including installing the crap they want to run… MTP being a great source of BSOD)
Pretty slick though, it worked apparently…
define ‘worked’
It convinced i_says that vista was good is what i gathered from it
It was far from ‘exhaustive’ and they were hand held… I could make an old install of Red Hat look user friendly given their ‘test environment’
I never said I agreed with the experimental procedure, I’m just saying that some may(and have) fall for it
We all fall for advertising some time…
Wikipedia has a pretty decent writeup on it. Note the criticisms of the “experiment” at the bottom.
ugh, i love this picture. Microsoft is the worst computer company known to man. APPLE FOREVER!
Wowwwwwwww you guys are special, must be a thousand ro more coments on this thread about billgay and his mojave experiment.
Antitrust!!! Bill should be put in Guantanamo Bay
or*
