EVERYTHING crashed… chkdisk had to run for 2 hours, and I found myself annoyed with tons of “Host Services have stopped responding and been restared” along with some minor application [...]

The real ones, not the linux fortune command. Only great passions, can elevate the mind to great things.

Whew… one thing I learned this morning as I rolled out of bed: maybe it would have been better to take a taxi all over rather than walk all over town last night. Some co-workers and I decided to do some late night sight seeing , walking from our hotel to the Whitehouse, the Washington [...]

I quit reading slashdot regularly long ago, as the content was always getting poorer and poorer. I still drop by and check out what they have when I’m bored, but this really reaffirms my belief that slashdot isn’t “News for Nerds”, it’s “News for people who don’t have a clue”. Programs can check whether certain [...]
