    What Operating System is Everybody Using?

    Thanks for the advice. I'm using Kubuntu 8.10, it installed great on this machine but my dell blade server well let's put it this way it just didn't act nice. I need to get something on the server, nothing seems to like it so maybe bsd? I have KDE 4.2 installed now, it seems to be working ok...

    Eco Mud Flaps

    Airtabs seem not to work on the bottom, there is too much turbulence.

    So you wanna be an expediter?

    Actually, the question is who are they? A bank, credit card company, people with bent noses?

    tax cuts-not!

    Oh lets see; this is another lie, 95% of the people getting money? So was waiting five days before he signs something, But he is going to help make possible loans to students so they can go to college instead of telling the colleges that they will have to figure out how to deal without...

    GM to pull the plug on Pontiac

    I agree, they are clueless. Sad, well the company is part to blame, the UAW has had a hand in this too. But I digress. They bring out the Camaro when they should be using that money for other things, like adapting more opel products for the US market or trying to get Ford's Diesel over...

    More BS about Fatigued Drivers

    Well the point is that the survey is the long form, answering medical questions is the same as presenting the long form to the officer. I know that many are not getting what I'm saying, but if I am asked about my sleep habits or my prescriptions, then it is an inquiry of my medical condition...

    Obama returned my money! 2 fold

    just got back from my rounds in Detroit, what a sh*thole that has turned out to be. I went by tiger stadium, half of it is still there (better get your pictures while it's still standing) and went by some of the abadoned churches and wasteland where hundreds of homes used to stand. Nothing left...

    What Operating System is Everybody Using?

    I didn't think so, I get just as much graphic performance with Linux than I did with the MAC I had on my desk at work. I had all three on my desk for development work. Right now I am working on improving the truckputer and have made the move back to Linux at home to setup everything. I am not...

    The people do not have the right to demand anything, they have ZERO control over their school system thanks to an inept government. The union is in control, no one else. I am a "product" of public schools, I do not want this form of child abuse to continue but there is no stopping it...

    Letzrock, I wouldn't say that, it happens a lot. My sister used to teach, she went back to it last year and got fed up with the BS she had to tell the kids, the last straw was the global warming propganda that an administrator forced on the kids which she knew is BS, it was so far removed from...

    Gm shutdown to start may 4th

    When a company in Canada goes into bankruptcy, do they have the option to void the contracts like they do here in the states? The best move for Chrysler will be a form of bankruptcy protection which means that they can force the nullification of the UAW contracts.

    More BS about Fatigued Drivers

    To me there is an issue of medical privacy rights, you don't relinquish them because you are a trucker, the DOT has not yet written guidelines on sleep disorders and the states have yet to address the issues within their policy making bodies. Until that time, this is a form of profiling and...

    Obama returned my money! 2 fold

    Oh yea, that's right.... the federal government is supposed to give you back money from an election - maybe we should all start asking the Federal Elections Commission which program that is under so I can get back my tax money that they gave to the candidates.

    NO EXCUSE FOR THAT! I am working on a linux box and it is a pain in the a**, my fonts are screwed up, the resolution is great until I read a page with any graphics, every time I move the mouse the browser goes back to the previous page which I can't see to fix (maybe my switch box). and so...

    Here is a random thought..... What absolutely amazes me is the ignorants of how people view the presidential administrations with their lives. They miss the fact that congress is and always holds the power and too much is emphasis is put on the falsehood that the president is the most important...

    Gm shutdown to start may 4th

    The chrysler thing is to bakc the government into the corner, it is a private company and it is being dictated to by the administration. Screw the UAW, they deserve everything they get at this point because the government has forced this to happen thanks to the auto workers asking for the...

    New Economy...new way for o/o's

    Grow beyond their capabilities? I don't know, I think it is more like grown beyond the expectations of the owner. When freight was good, people made money and everyone kept saying this is a great place to make a go of things. Now we are having a bigger problem with competition, and times...

    9 week shutdown

    Hey all you don't worry, it is better than having a permanent shutdown.

    New Economy...new way for o/o's

    Sorry but that is a nightmare in the making. Maybe it would be better to see more owners get out of the business so there is a shortage of trucks, right now there are more trucks than freight and will be for a while.
