YOU see...Loren is judging you by HIS yardstick...
YOu see... his insinuation that you are a failure becuase you are
not "acquiring wealth and power" demonstrates that these are the
criteria by which LOREN HIMSELF judges success.
That's right...LOREN "Mr. Egalitarian" PETRICH (Crypto-Commie at
large) has openly admitted that ****HIS*** definition of success
is whether or not someone is able "to acquire vast amounts of
wealth and power"
Kinda undercuts his song-and-dance about "the pligh of the poor"
and other such nonsense. Nope... Loren sees them as mere
stepping stones to power....like so many hapless people buried
up to their necks on the beach....he'll walk all over them to
avoid getting his feet dirty...while chastising others for not
getting their hands dirty to dig these people out.
"to acquire vast amounts of wealth and power"
Tell us Loren Petrich, Mr. Pseudo-Compassion....how much wealth
and power do you consider someone should acquire for you to view
them as a "success".
How much "wealth" are YOU in search of?
How much "power" over "tens of thousands of underlings who grovel
in fear" are YOU seeking, LOREN PETRICH?
LOREN PETRICH is BUSTED... wide open, a phoney-fuck pseudo-compassionate
closet-dictator....in other words, a COMPLETE LOSER.

Actually, that was part of a disinformation program.
Yes, the Soviet-supplied tube-artillery (traditional howitzers and
cannons) have a slight edge in range against ours...
BUT
1. Our artillery is more accurate at extreme range
2. MLRS systems have heavier payloads than 210mm artillery
AND have longer range AND are even MORE accurate than
any tube-fired projectile
3. We have superior radar for counter-artillery fire.
As one Iraqi artilleryman said after the war:
"to pull a lanyard was to sign your own death warrant"
4. US artillery doctrine is called "shoot and scoot" Our guys
pull up, shot a mission and then LEAVE before any
counter-battery fire can come raining down. (This
form of artillery support demands extremely good planning
and excellent discipline of the artillerymen, but when
facing the threat of being massively outnumbered if there
was a Soviet invasion of Western Europe, artillery
preservation was a very high priority.

Bullshit. Want an example? The ENTIRE Lycos network including Lycos.com,
Tripod, WhoWhere, Angelfire, MailCity, HotBot, HotWired, Wired News,
Webmonkey, Sonique, Quote.com, Gamesville, and Lycos Zone runs on nix? No,
it can't be it's WINDOWS 2000!!! What a suprise. And there are hundreds of
other top shelf sites that use NT technologies just like these!

BS. I know illegals who work in the service industry who have little

If they want to attract decent employees, they most certainly do have
something to prove. It's only when the requirements for the job in question
are very low that there is little competition between employers.

Well of course the "right credentials" are important. I mean, do you expect
to get a job as a nuclear physicist with a high school education ?
Knowing the right people can get you a free interview ( IOW, it helps
assure that your resume wont get thrown out ) but beyond that it has
limited utility.

Of course it looks bad. Hire/fire cycles are expensive for employers,
so they don't want to do it more than they have to.

Why not ? Ask them what the employee turnover is. Don't be afraid to
ask companies tough questions in interviews. The good ones will lay it
on the table, the others will get shitty. Which is OK, tell them to
go f*ck themselves and find someone better.
>Employers have all the power, and it's okay for them to fire an
>employee every time a better one shows up.
Bullshit. What planet are you from ? It's not that easy to fire employees.
Legal issues and trade unions aside, employee turnover is expensive and
results in an incompetent and unproductive workforce with low morale.

What you're saying is that "unemployment is high", at least in the sense
that it's defined ( the number of active job seekers out of work )
Reality check: for a developed country, the US doesn't have high
unemployment. Nice try.
>It's still $5.25 per hour in the US. Maybe the cost of living has

It's also irrelevant. I know illegals working in the service industry
who earn more than double that. And they don't pay taxes since they're paid
cash. BTW, I lived on less than $200- a week as a grad student, and it wasn't
that bad. Tell your sob stories all you like. I've been "poor", and it wasn't
nearly as tragic as you're making it sound.
Get out of your 19th century Dickens fantasy. The world has moved on.

Nope sorry. Those are MIRRORS of the same db, not the same db distributed
between. Their clustering capability only takes advantage of load balancing
NOT parallel fetches because all the data is on both servers but you can't
get part from one and part from another. You're just covering up
inadequacies like Ellison is. Care to wager on how Oracle would do on the
exact same benchmarks that Microsoft has won? Oh wait, you can't because
Ellison has issued the gag order to all the press to prevent that kind of

Obviously you are *NOT* a SQL server expert:
Supporting primary key updates further enhances the Distributed Partitioned
Views feature in SQL Server 2000. This feature, which allows the system to
partition database processing across several independent servers, is
responsible for SQL Server 2000's scale-out performance on the TPC-C
benchmark.

I'd be interested to find out if Microsoft paid Lycos to get
them as a reference. Microsoft has done that in the past. For
example, Microsoft provided Dell with an army of consultants,
free of charge, in exchange for agreeing to switch to
Microsoft technology. And more recently, Microsoft paid many
content providers as much as $300,000 each to switch to
Microsoft technology. Read about it here:
www.zdnet.com/zdnn/stories/zdnn_display/0,3440,339808,00.html
How do we know Microsoft didn't pay Lycos?

Who the fuck cares?
Maybe if *you* would write the drivers, then there would be greater
demand for the equipment, wouldn't there.

G: Unit_4's "Kook hunt" reminds me of "Jimmy Baker's" harangues against
adultery while concurrently committing adultery with Tammy Hahn.

Subject: Anti-Linux Spammer Steve/Mike Forges His 31st Fake Name -was- Linux? You're
kidding right? Some kind of a joke?
Date: 31 Jul 2000 03:43:42 GMT
I'm sure I've missed a few, but here's the current list
of false identities used by anti-Linux spammer Steve/Mike.
He attempts to deceive readers into thinking that a large
number of people are unhappy with Linux, when actually
they're all him posting under a multitude of forged fake
names:
Steve/Mike/Heather/Simon/teknite/keymaster/keys88/Sewer Rat/
"S"/Sponge/Sarek/piddy/McSwain/pickle_pete/Ishmeal_hafizi/
Syphon/Proculous/Tiberious/Amy/Jerry_Butler/Wobbles/wazzoo/
"Tim Palmer"/BklynBoy/susie_wong/"leg log"/bison/steveno/
[EMAIL PROTECTED]/"Saul Goldblatt"/mike_hunt/etc.
As usual, he repeats his same old series of lies:
