Being ready is not what matters. What matters is winning after you get there.

Found another Brother and he had this quote that works for the way I feel about many of todays women.

“While real faith requires sacrifice and a willingness to look outside yourself, “spirituality” alone is internal, ego-based and easy to do. Spirituality without religion is like pretending you won the game without playing.”

I just ended a month long ordeal with a lady that this fits pretty well. Kinda like the word NICE. Fuck that.

Even Microsoft needs a quality Operating System.

Aruba Networks was selected to provide the networking equipment for what is considered to be one of the world’s largest next-generation wireless LANs, serving more than 25,000 simultaneous users a day in some 60 countries. According to an Aruba press statement, Microsoft’s new WLAN will be deployed in 277 buildings covering more than 17 million square feet using Aruba mobility controllers, mobility software and some 5000 wireless access points.

What the press statement didn’t mention is that Aruba mobility controllers run the Linux operating system which Microsoft has aggressively targeted as being inferior to Windows as part of its “Get the Facts” marketing campaign.

Mark Robards, Aruba Network’s Asia-Pacific vice president, said the company’s mobility controller switches provide integrated security, including a firewall, VPN, and hardware encryption, and they are “all Linux-based”.

Robards said the network rollout with Microsoft is going well and is likely to take two years to complete and will contain as many as 7000 access points. Indeed, Aruba is recruiting Linux developers to work on its mobility controller software. In an advertisement on the company’s Web site, Aruba is seeking a senior Linux software engineer with “expert knowledge of Linux and extensive Linux kernel experience”.

Sunjeev Pandey, senior director of Microsoft IT, said the company is “pleased to be partnering with Aruba in the upgrade of Microsoft’s next-generation wireless LAN”.

“This partnership will allow Microsoft to leverage a cutting-edge wireless and mobility platform that provides us the scalability, performance and security that our environment demands,” Pandey said.

Pandey’s appraisal of Aruba’s technology is in stark contrast to Microsoft’s “Get the Facts” rhetoric which places Windows as a more secure, and higher-performing choice over Linux.

Good thing Microsoft makes billions in PROFIT each quarter so they can write off all of the anti-linux marketing costs sunk into slamming linux…

Matt has a dare for Ernesto Cienfuegos

I wouldn’t stand by while Ernesto lit my truck on fire offering more welfare benefits, illegal alien tuition breaks, and Driver’s Licenses. I can tell you that.

I dare you too

The glorious French insurgency began when disaffected, pissed off, fully subsidized & fairly worthless youths, driven mad by relentless airplay of Un Monde Parfait single by obnoxious brat Ilona Mitrecey (#1 for 14 weeks), began torching fuel-efficient cars to demand that imperialist French police stop leaving them alone.

Day 16 and the French Freedom fighters (fully subsidized) burn another 500 cars last night. All these freedom fighters what is to have the police leave them alone. they think they can have islam law in thier little neghiborhoods….

I say let them burn…fucking frenchie
