Jonski - ostatnia ofiara powstania warszawskiego. http://lodz.gazeta.pl/lodz/1,35153,11649831,Dariusz_Jonski_ostatnia_ofiara_Powstania_Warszawskiego.html

Nie zaqpominajmy ze jest to posel pogrobowcow komuny. Pan Jonski boi sie ze jego dane mozna upublicznic. Usmialbym sie gdyby nie to ze on dopier po utracie poprzedniego Ipad'a zdal sobie sprawe z tego ze prywatne mail'e nie sa prywatne. Ach, polska mlodziez!

help help, I'm being repressed! By Apple's clean design and unfailing attention to detail...

...Obviously Jobs did not invent, bundle, market or sell a sense of humour. You need more than one button for that.

famous last words.

'I don't think there's any need to advocate selfishness amongst human beings. I don't know what your impression has been, but some things do not need reinforcement'

--Christopher Hitchens on Ayn Rand, 'no-positivism' in "The Moral Necessity of Atheism"

Alternative fuels are unfortunately a sham. No technology or mix of technologies provides even a tenth of the energy output of fossil fuels. Affordability of basic commodities ( plastics) and food production ( fertilisers, without which we could barely feed 4 billion) all depend on petroleum. It's not just energy. The amount of acreage needed to grow biofuels would need to be greater than the total used for food production, and this is WITH synthetic fertilisers made from oil. The whole industrial paradigm is going to rot, a lot of people will have to die before we're anything like 'sustainable' without fossil fuels. Yes, you can help shorten this painful interlude now. Kill yourself.

what does it meeeean?

indeed. What an asshole. It takes a control freak of immense intensity to pull this kind of shit from beyond the grave

Its fucking awsome. I don't care what it costs you. IMO you should stop bitching about the high cost of the program and get with the research. None of this is 'real' money anyway.

hehe

no, no, no - it's the guilty pricks that mind your conscience

...and a willfully blind one, too. You'd have to be a tool to refuse to see the single greatest technological change vector since at least Berthold Shwartz or Gutenberg. Sure it's up in the air. So is all of literature. So is his renown, fame, reputation, etc. These are all virtual, ephemeric phenomena.

The TCP/IP protocol stack has nothing whatever to do with cables.

  Yes, you can make cables with a hand held crimper that are just as good as store bought ones - a decent SLT tester set will tell you what the ACR and NEXT values are. You don't really need to make your cables as good as that for your application, a T1 is 1.5Mb/s, this is an order of magnitude ( or two) less than the switch, so regular cat5 wiring, jacks, patchcords, patchpanels, etc. You can't make your T1 any faster by having "good" cables.....

Yes, there is ageism in IT. There's ageism in just about every part of today's society. That should not stop you from getting a degree. I went back to college at about your age. Just remember that there is plenty of IT geeks with a BS degree and not a whit of experience - it's what you do with your degree that counts. BTW, it is possible to have a career without one.
