Yea, because they are hiring right now, right after they dropped those
employees they put a now hiring sign in the window.

I've owned a computer for 5 years. But you're right I do know how that
works. Between college courses and a few friends of mine that worked for
IBM on AIX, and a friend of mine who works for Intel as a developer. Yes I
do think I have a fairly good understanding.


> lots of friends who still work at SUSE? Right? Yes? Well, Gomer.. I do. And

I can't believe you called me a gomer....Lol I bet you have lots of
friends.

And I'm saying you're a dumb ass because not ONE time has anyone said
that's happening. Bill Gates said Linus torvalds was a talented "chap"
before 1993. Would he say that now if it wasn't a press release? Hell no.
Just because you've watched the trees grow doesn't mean they are going to
fall on you.

Yea, it's not like you called me a gomer....

And now you're calling me a moron, yet I have nothing of worth to say
because I called you names? Well, you must think you're the biggest dip
shit on the planet with your way of thinking then, hell I don't recall
calling you anything but I have nothing of worth to say because of it, and
just in THIS message, you've called me a gomer and a moron.

I lost credibility? FROM WHERE I'M TEXT ON YOUR SCREEN. So first I know
nothing because I called you some name, then you call me names, and now
because I don't have 3 grand to buy a DECENT Mac I'm worse?

I don't buy "business" class machines. I don't own a business and I go to
college every night, I have no use wasting that much money on one. Which is
where I used Mac OS X for my first time. Well, sort of, the only app I had
to sue for my class crashed and I had to "pick a new machine" because they
couldn't fix it.

Oh and now I'm an idiot, gee for someone who doesn't like when people
resort to name calling you sure are quick to bite that in the ass. Hmmm,
they delisted, yea, that means a lot to me considering I've never used a
company after buying hardware from them ever.

Would you get the Mac1 if you had a chance even though they aren't sold
anymore and the company doesn't support them? Most mac weenies I know would
just to have one. Same thing here.

NeoCons? WTF is that? Did you mean Neo Nazi? And you just called me another
TWO names Mr "You resorted to name calling and therefore can't have
anything worth saying".

Lol, Wow, You took all this time to reply to me in your busy schedual of
watching paint dry.... I'm honored really. Not that I need my giant ego
stroked by the impaired.

You know, I bet that had something to do with the fact I REPLIED to his
uptime.... Did you miss that in your infinite wisdom of how everything on
earth works?

You must reboot that a lot seeing as how just in the last year Free BSD has
had multiple updates requiring a reboot. Of course I'd know this, I wrote
docs for them.

But, if I get some free time, I'd LOVE a signed agreement from you with
that IP addy giving me permission to test those "Strict IPFW" crap you set
up.
