Preach It Brother!

All my PC/Network friends scoff at me when I tell them that my iSeries box would not only run circles around their Windoze machines, it would do it forever (ok, maybe a little hyperbole there)

In over 20 years, I've only seen it down for about 15 days or so cumulative... (other than planned outages for backup, upgrades, maintenance etc.)

Used to do capacity planning for a VAR, but I'm not doing any h/w or architecture work on them anymore, just programming now, but I'm still an iSeries AS/400 evangelist...

I would never shop online, I understand why some do, its not for me, ever. The whole experience of going to the store or market, walking around, shopping, buying the things you need, holding them, comparing them, squeezing them, smelling them, then taking it all home and preparing it with your wife/girlfriend and eating it listening to some good music sipping a good wine is what I love about food and shopping for it. As with all things online, it will never replace that experience, once again, I know why others do it or need to do it, its not for me. Maybe if we run rails down the aisles and attach the carts to them, or, get rid of the carts altogether.....

Hard to do this with caned and dry goods as they all pretty much smell the same. Squeezing them tells one nothing.   ;)

snip...

People push shopping carts around the supermarket in much the same way the drive a car.

You're right! I see it all the time. Texting while pushing a cart, stopping in the middle of the freakin aisle while they update their facebook crap (or whatever) while holding up 'traffic' behind them.   >:(

We went down to the lake last night to watch the fireworks. The beach was pristine and the weather perfect. I was happy to see that the folks who set the area up had PLENTY of garbage cans and recycle bins around. There were lots of families and kids on hand to enjoy the event.

After the fireworks these families get up to leave but do they pick up their :censored: trash and toss it in the cans on the way out?

:censored: no!!!   >:(

Seriously, What in the :censored: is wrong with people? Does it take that much effort to pick up after yourself? I instilled this lesson in my boys as they were growing up why wouldn't these parents teach their kids this lesson?

This really boggles my mind.

This doesn't just make me crazy and annoyed, it pisses me right the :censored: off!!!

Why do so many people suck?

People are basically stupid.  Remember that and you won't be disappointed.

It's amazing that us humans have made it to this 'advanced civilization' without killing each other off. I guess we're still working on that...

A world full of "stoopid" people like this guy would be an INFINITELY better place than one full of "geniuses" like BO and Pelosi.

The people who did not pick up their trash obviously never saw the crying Indian commercial.

And the people that made that commercial have never been up to the reservations around here. There is no "stewardship" of the land as led to believe.
Litter really makes me crazy. And really annoyed.

Not just stupid. Lazy. And arrogant.
Yes, I know that, but it still disappoints me.

This by the only American mentioned in Hitler's "Mein Kampf". Sorry, not a fan of Mr. Ford.

How many bombers and tanks did Mr. Ford produce to help annihilate the nazi's?
