Actually, embarrasingly, you probably know him if you know anyone in
the sound engineering field who lives in the hamptons at all. Hes fairly
well known; he started his career sort of by cheating and doing custom
sound system installs in very very rich peoples homes. He did at least
a couple of houses in the hamptons before he managed to move there
from brooklyn. Now he does nearly nothing (just like you), and gets
paid tons and tons of money for it. Amazing.
> BTW you won't be able to find this one on the net...
Neat. I wasnt planning on looking anway.
And actually, I probably could, as one of the chicks who hangs out
regularly in one of the irc channels I frequent lives in the hamptons
as well.
But why should I? Do you seriously believe that you are superior to
anyone at ALL because you live in the hamptons?
Manhattanites have a name for people like you, by the way. You get
"clocked" at parties all the time; you're the ones in the not-at-all
sensible shoes continually looking at your watch wondering what the
traffics gonna be like on the west side highway after 9pm. You talk
about your house in the hamptons alot, and can be seen trying desparately
to figure out exactly how many shrimp curries is TOO much, and how little
would appear snooty. You go to the bathroom alot at those kinds of
parties, but always walk out with a kind of stunned, semi-horrified
look on your face at the audacity of the person inside huffing cocaine
right next to you. You are easily frightened, and easily lead.
If you have enough money, you make an excellent potential investor,
which is the other reason why your type is invited to those kinds of
parties, besides being friends with the woman doing the catering.
I'm not going to tell you what it is though, and I dont care if you
know. But you most definately fit the bill more than nearly anyone
with which ive ever come into contact.
> Good luck, liar....
Which hampton do you live in, exactly? It might be worth asking my
cousin if he actually does know you. Boy, wouldnt that be a hoot.

Aaron, you are a bit of a mystery to me. If you are a UNIX system
engineer and you think Linux is so great... how come you don't use
UNIX, or in particular, Linux?
You seem to always be using WIN98:

Well, actually, the way NT compress a file isn't quite the way PKzip does.
NT divide the file to 2 clusters units.
And compress each unit individually, if the last bit isn't exactly large
enough for two clusters, it won't be compressed.
This scheme is a compromise between access speed and compression, if PKzip
wants to zip this file, it will access the raw file, not the compressed
data.
It will compress it, and then return compressed data to another file,
assuming that the other file is also FS-level-compressed, then NT will do
the above procedure while it try to compress it.
I'm not sure what the result would be space-wise.

Ok,
I just wanted to make the point that AFAIK Linus started on
hacking Minix. It turned out that that just gave him the idea on
how *not* to build a UNIX clone, but I'd say it is still an
influence, and to say that Linux is derived from Minix may be a
gross exageration, but that argument is nonetheless not without
merit.

Well, in Intuit's case, Micro$oft tried their usual "if you can't beat

blatantly monopolistic enough, (and high-profile enough!) that it was
killed.

Brooklyn...Ahhh yes, my old stomping grounds. If he DID grow up there,

Not at all. I have a humble home on the waterfront that was bought

1. I don't go to parties.
2. There isn't much traffic on the WHH after 9pm, and I prefer the FDR
drive because I can take anyone of several bridges or tunnels home to
L.I. But you knew that already I'm sure.

The word you are looking for is "Nouveau Riche" (aborted spelling) or
"new money" and sorry, but like I said I have been here for many
years.
You might say I am more like the farmers that are still out here,
property rich yet still the only one on the street who doesn't have a
maid and drives a domestic automobile.
But, life is nice....

Uhh.. MS doesn't own DirecTV. Also note that TiVo has recently begun
selling an integrated unit as well (again, with DirecTV) and the picture
quality is amazing because there is no analog to digital conversion for
recording.
You are still limited to whatever video source TiVo decides to support.

Ah, you're one of THOSE. Are you one of those people who agreed with
the decision to not let a certian wealthy person build a tennis court
on his own property because the hamptons "have enough tennis courts"?
Jealousy is ugly.

You havent been able to demonstrate that ive lied at all.

People LIKE you, you moron. The ones that make it to parties are usually
more intelligent and affluent.
> 2. There isn't much traffic on the WHH after 9pm,
It depends on what day. On fridays there can be quite alot. Especially
when the decide for some unknown reason to keep a lane closed.

Sure. Throgs neck is a little tricky to get to though. But then again,
I never go to long island.

Of course you wouldnt know.

Of course you dont. You must just HATE the way southampton has turned
out in the last 30 years.
>>If you have enough money, you make an excellent potential investor,

Probably. You certianly wouldnt be invited because of your banter
or intelligence.

Plenty of people who own property in the hamptons have had money for
generations.

Thats too bad. I'm sure most of your neighbors cant wait till you
die or move.
> But, life is nice....
Apparantly.
>>Which hampton do you live in, exactly? It might be worth asking my

> West hampton
Interesting.
