  1. Fat man who is always eating - not so bad in and of itself. But the routine explosive shits that leave debris not just inside but outside the toilet - that is a problem. My resume is complete.

  2. Cocaine users, drunks, and pot-smokers don't have random flashbacks, and are not generally susceptible to schizophrenia and other mental illnesses induced by the drug usage...

     

    Where did you READ that bullshit...

     

    Uh, let me guess, the local DARE officer?

    FYI - The new meth-head trick in Portland is to charge $60/month Tri Met passes from those new self service kiosks near the Max stations. My wallet was stolen while I was running in Forest Park a few weeks ago and 5 seperate charges were run up before I could cancel the cards. So if some tweaker tries to sell you a bus pass, kick 'em in the gonads.

  4. Oh give it up, you always play the 'personal attack' card then go and dish it out... rolleyes.gif

     

    I just think it's funny how folks spray spray away with their multiple avatars. Where do you find the time?

  5. I haven't had a 'blue screen of death' for a good couple of years now.

     

    Thanks. I have not had one either in probably 3 or 4 years, however I saw one last night on a Windows 2000 machine.

     

    From what I've seen the code quality has improved vastly over the course of the last several OS releases, using NT4 as a baseline. I still see freaky stuff sometimes on all OS versions, usually when

    1) playing DirectX games or

    2) using peripherals that have buggy drivers or

    3) messing around with not-completely-thought-through C++ code

     

    I like Linux though, if you think its for the elite now, you probably didn't try it 5 or 6 years ago. I think companies like RedHat etc have come a long way in making this particular type of OS accessible to normal users.

     

    Yeah, I started working with Linux back in school some 10 years ago, still use it at work a bit too. I fully agree that companies like Red Hat have done wonders for making Linux accessible, I think that's great.

     

    Just got to pick the right tool for the job (even, uh, Apple, well, sometimes). In my line of work we count on a lot of powerful, high level tools to get a lot of work done in a short period of time and Windows is the answer. As a math/compsci geek I secretly root for open source software, I just realize in using it it'd be hard to do what I want to do and get paid. grin.gif

  6.  

    At least you can find a patch, expect to see one soon (or write it).

     

    As for Microshit software, gotta love the blue screen...

     

    yelrotflmao.gif It's like .0000001% of the worlds population that could find and install a patch, nevermind write their own.

     

    Microsfot OSs are for folks who don't have the time to dink around and need to get real, revenue generating work done.

     

    I haven't had a 'blue screen of death' for a good couple of years now.

    Motorcycles baby. That's the answer.

     

    Great gas mileage...and if it is light enough you can push the thing under the gates and then up the road....and even up many trails.

     

    thumbs_up.gifthumbs_up.gifthumbs_up.gif My 250cc gets 80mpg on the highway cool.gif

  8. Yes, dogs are allowed, it is not a National Park like Rainier.

     

    Usually they'll open the lift at 9, conditions permitting. I think you can buy a 'one ride' pass up. Unless it's winter and cold that'll likely be too late a start but it depnds on your comfort level.

     

    You can park/sleep overnight in the Timberline lot, there are signs for the overnight spots. If they're not plowing I'd recomend parking in the back of the lot, there can be quite a bit of activity throughout the night up there.
