First Post!
by Maarten Goldstein, Oct 22, 2002 7:11am PDTThanks to everyone who wrote in with their CDRW recommendation. Looks like I'll be picking up a LiteOn. Plextor was definitely recommended by a lot of people, but the LiteOn CDRWs even more and since they are a whole bunch cheaper, I'll go for that. So recently I started listening to 30 Second to Mars. While I do not care for Jared Leto as an actor, I have been digging his music. Another album I've been playing to death is PSI by Pitchshifter. I haven't really mentioned music much in these updates as far as I can remember but I figured more talking about webmail scripts wouldn't be terribly exciting. Movie: You're a sadist. You lack compunction. That comes in handy.

I was checking out posts for my brother's Audigy problem, and I've come to the conclusion that Harvey Fong is an asshole, and that no one at Creative Labs understands customer support.
While this post isn't in reply to me, it's an example of the kind of stuff their "Marketing Specialist" post on a regular basis.
If you don't think I'm being sensitive, go over to the audigy group at news.creative.com and call him an asshole. Just for fun.
----------------------------
None of your postings that are on this newsgroup really give any insight as to
what your problem may be or what it may be related to, other than your claiming
to be an 'IT Professional'. No one can say for sure what problem you may be
encountering.

but what is the best way to compress the data? im using gzencode, but is there anything better?
for gzdecode, does a browser decomp the data THEN place it into the cache, or does it place comp data into the cache and decomp it on view?
My wedding is in a month. My mother-in-law called me over to help make some adjustments to the wedding plans. After about fifteen minutes of discussing the details, she says she needs to tell me something. She said, "You're only going to be a single man for a few more weeks, and I want to have sex with you before you get married." Then she stands up and says "You know where the door is if you don't want to do this", then walks into her bedroom. My mind is going a thousand miles a minute trying to decide what to do. This woman is extremely beautiful and she is offering herself to me, but she's also the mother of the woman I am going to marry. After a few minutes, I've finally made up my mind. I walk out the door.
I then find her husband waiting out by my car. He told me that the whole thing was just a test to see if I would remain faithful to my wife if the opportunity to cheat came to me. He apologized for having to do it, but said he was proud of me and glad that I was marrying his daughter. I drove home trying to decide if I should tell my wife about her parents stupid little test, if I shouldn't mention it, or if I should tell her I was actually going to the car to get a condom.

Also, it takes roughly 5 minutes to copy 7 gigs using Knoppix, yet it takes 15 minutes to do the same in XP. That bothers me a whole lot.

This seems to comfirm that the sniper's goals are political and that he's making some kind of demands to authorities. So maybe he's a terrorist after all?
