In GA you need no license to purchase either a rifle or a pistol. You don't need a license to carry a pistol if it's visible. You only need a license if it's concealed. www.packing.org.

That stereotype really gets on my nerves. Most gun owners aren't paranoid right-wing extremists planning for the next invasion. Most are local store owners, businessmen, mechanics... *sportsmen* - good old fashioned down to earth american working class. Most of us buy 'em because we're looking forward to hunting season. Sure, it's there if I need it, but I've also got a home security system and a great big fluffy dog. I'm much more concerned about getting my family OUT of the house should there be a situation than I am with confronting someone. Take my sh--. I don't care. It's just stuff. My time is better spent avoiding confrontation than it is planning for it. Steve, I like ya buddy but you're driving me crazy with all of this anti-gun spew. You're from WNY, right? You've got to have someone in your extended family that looks forward to deer season. Look. Leaving a loaded gun around a child is just about as responsible as leaving your kid in the driver's seat with the car on and in gear. It's not the car to blame, it's the idiot parent. This is a classic "guns kill people" versus "people kill people" argument. Stop concentrating on extreme and look at the whole. -Jeff

I really don't think of any of my guns as "protection." Sure, I have them if it comes down to that. I really think of my guns as "sports equipment", if that makes sense. I've got a concealed carry permit, but it's mostly to make purchases easier and to protect me from obscure laws. I've never carried a gun for protection's sake. I really own 'em because I love blasting away clay pigeons, hitting a white tail at 200 yards, or punching holes in paper at 30. Note that I have no problem with those that do carry for protection and I might at some point myself. I just don't look at it from that point of view, I look at it more as a skilled sport. -Jeff

Didn't we just have this same argument?

You know, I'm not fond of rap, not quite sure I'd call too much of it music, but that's an argument for another thread. This guy was obviously into some bad stuff, to get shot down like he did in Vegas. What really bothers me is how people worship these types...

I hear that, we've turned it around... honestly... in my opinion... if we didn't make the playoffs and finished 10-6 or 9-7? I'd be happy.. great turnaround on MM's part with the momentum going into next year. Granted, it would suck if we didn't make it....

No not yet... hoooold.. iiittt.... not yet... hoooollldddd it... hoooolllddd it... ok, go 'head.

Nah, I like what I do, I just get fed up with all of the corporate red tape I need to wade through. You're right, strace isn't what you want on solaris.. you want truss... strace is a streams trace utility on HPUX and Solaris. I can't count how many times I've typed 'strace -p XX' and had one of those OS' complain at me.

If I had to guess (and I will), it's a PHP script. You're running mod_php, so PHP scripts are processed "in process" by the web server. You probably happened to run top while PHP was crunching something. Edit... I didn't notice the CPU time... I stand by the above statement, but perhaps the PHP code got stuck in a loop. -Jeff

Yeah, same here and I do it for a living. Actually, I don't do this exactly per se, I do architecture design. I need to stop being so cynical. It actually is quite interesting if you're in a good company. -Jeff

strace on linux, but the command of the same name on Solaris and HPUX is "streams" trace, which are a sysVism.. not to be confused with file io streams, which are actually implemented as streams... It's truss on HPUX, too. I hate computers. I think I'll go back to school and be a park ranger.

Additionally... with teacher's unions, she ain't goin' nowheres...

Honestly? I would let it go. Your daughter doesn't need a big "throw down" between a teacher and her parents. Write a letter/call school administration to voice your concerns, but don't let it get blown out of proportion. Show your daughter that the right way to deal with people like this is with a cool head. Violin lessons.... go private. She'll learn more that way anyways. Just my thoughts, Jeff

You know, he has a point.... Kidding.

Hehe, I am.. but this trackpad is a B word.. need to dig up a mouse.

Man if I didn't just know that was a BK commercial, I would have sworn Kind Wierdo was going to expose himself when that guy woke up.

Haven't they done this already? I kind of remember a big Motley Crue comeback not so long ago....

5 ints.. I think it was back in '93, actually?

I hear that! That crap happens even at malls. People stroll down the street and just STOP. The A # 1 thing that bugs me about driving really wasn't listed here.... reading, watching TV, or doing otherwise blatantly distracting things while behind the wheel.

I'm getting USED TO WINNING again!

Oh, My... He links to his fruit page from his resume. http://www.elfintechnologies.com/Resume1.html Proud of what he's become I see!

Got a call from Sony while at work.... I forgot to shut it off and they tracked me down. Seems I had uploaded 100 some copies of a yet-to-be-released-cd. This was before they started cracking down. It's iTunes all the way for me now.

Same as my AIM name, easy to remember.
