Guest Posted June 10, 2002 I kind of figured you would post something like that. Ok, how about this: I have reached my computer in Stockholm. My girlfriend (ret.) came home earlier and managed to fix it with my instructions. This was a small miracle since she knows really nothing about computers and doesn't get terms like "that window behind the other window". It generates a reply "what do you mean behind?". Anyway, I now have full control of my computer Here is a live picture from my apartment in Stockholm, updated every 15 seconds.

Warin 0 Posted June 10, 2002 It's strange how much we rely on the internet.... Where I work, we activate customers via an internet system. And our point of sale system is vpn over the internet. This morning, the ISP is on and off. Works for five minutes, is off for five minutes. And it's making doing business almost impossible. That and I can barely post on here...as I cant access it half the time..well, it's making me a little crazy. When I first did this ten years ago, everything was done by telephone. And it was slower..but it worked all the time. Technology makes is faster...but only when our ISP isnt having a fit Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yepp But not girlfriend, but girlfriend (ret.) = ex girlfriend. Warin: Yepp. I have however yet again learned a lesson of how software is notoriously unreliable. Imagine if we would build planes and cars like we build software. I guess that we sacrifice reliability for quick development. It was actually pretty funny.. it was ZoneAlarm that had messed it up and blocked every single connection to my computer, including PCAnywhere and FTP. I somehow managed to guide my gf (ret.) to turning it off. About half an hour later I got the bright idea that I could reconfigure ZA remotely. Oh.. damn.. bad idea. Eh, I had to call her again Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Posted June 10, 2002 The problem was not really in ZoneAlarm, but in me messing with the settings. I did something that I thought would lower the permission settings for outgoing programs, instead I raised it so it blocked. Hmm.. the monitor is off.. easily fixed.. done Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Posted June 10, 2002 I do it only for exchange that they feed the monkey. My motivations are purely altruistic; I want you economists to learn something to stop you leading us from one disaster to another. Economist: Damn, that IT bubble was scary. Where did we go wrong? Biotech is so cool. We are surely going to make lots of money within 10 days! Buy! Buy! Buy! Monkey: I need a banana. btw.

timmy 0 Posted June 10, 2002 it means that the force is of equal energy, but in the oppisite direction. It is the law that explains why rockets go up. dumbass Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ralphwiggum 6 Posted June 11, 2002 geeze..none of you guys got my joke? on literal level, equal and opposite are opposite of each other of course i know what denoir says. according to Murphy's law, #1, for each economists, there is opposing economists who are equal in skill. #2 says that both are wrong. so that means that there is a group of wrong ppl called economists that are equal and opposite of each other, yet they are same in the sense that they are both wrong. but my questioon is, if economists are wrong(collectively), then who is right? if a monkey can randomly pick stocks, then that means randomness of market is proven. thus what economists are saying over the yrs now (stock market is random walk) is true.
