You obviously didn't live/drive through the 80s.

Cars are simple again. The new complications are in the dash (navi etc).

Repairing the detuning that DOT and insurance companies forced the car makers to do.

Nothing new under the sun. Removing the asthma tube from the intercooler on my old Eclipse made it non-CA legal.

Coincedently I just bought a 64 1/2 'stang.

Buy it off me, before I put a mouse and a munci in it. It will be the first SS mustang (that will really piss them off).

Stone age cultures just didn't have the technology to do all that much.

What is 'commonly taught' is mythology, same as it's always been.

Stone age native cultures wiped out the Mammoth. Once the horse was introduced the warlike, raider cultures came to dominate their more peaceful neighbors.

Why doesn't everybody just go back to using Cryptome?

Cryptome == Wikileaks - (self promoting aspi douche)

Watch 'The Aristocrats' for more information about Saget's dog.

They called me once. I had written a bunch of software used by their electric utility clients.

The only reason they wanted me was to make their bid credible vs. my former employer (for who I no particular love). Their reputation had preceded them, they didn't get that contract.

They wouldn't have got it in any case, but I kept their shit off of me.

Wait just a god damn second. Are you claiming you know professors that _work_ full time?

I'm incredulous.

(don't remember why...)

Because you wanted to see how long your edit would last? You slay you...somebody should.

AC is 12 and hasn't found his level of incompetence yet. Hence _everything_ is simple to him.

Most /.ers should remember what that was like.

They're no worse than EDS.

What continues to amaze me is that occasionally a competent person will apply. Granting they won't hire them.

You will respect ACs authoriti!

No non-brahman will ever get to the top ranks.

NEVER hire brahman. They are all air thieves who are 'too good' to actually work.

Accenture? You dodged a bullet.

You slip your clutch when you downshift? If so you don't know how to drive _or_ wrench. (Rebuilt a tranny at 9? lying sack of shit!)

Now you are trying to tell me you have to replace all the hard lines? You realize they basically never fail? If you have an accident and need to replace one, go to a junkyard.
