Cult Code
John Q. Public
I have an idea for a 'Cult Code'
Not a encryption method like PGP, but more along the lines of the
'Geek Code' that you may or may not have seen. The geek code gives
information on the OS, Hardware and Star Trek preferences of the Geek.
I'm not too sure of the fields that would be useful for the Cult, but
I'm willing to write the code if anyone is interested.
Some possible fields:
Beer brand preferences
Amount typically consumed
Amount consumed before performing an obscene act in public
Preferred sexual perversions
Effects the full moon has on the member
That's about all I can come up with. Any other suggestions?
I realize that I'm not a member, but I thought I might be able to
contribute something to the Cult.

When militant feminist professors declared that "only a woman can
truly love another woman" I realized I was a
07 Lesbian trapped in a mans body.

If it's on the web, it must be true?
There is also a research project to see if the heads can be made
smaller. This is more practical, because we'd all like a little head.

I'd like to know why no one has made cat food flavored with mice.

OK John, now explain how you provider got the net to be dependable? I'd
like to pass the word on to my own provider. Besides how can you tell
with this group -- we certainly aren't dependable :-)

So, you believe this country once had a president with a brain? But in
all fairness, I met the physician (the resident on call that day) who
made the decision that Kennedy couldn't be saved and to work on
Conally... and that fellow would have noticed if there had been no brain,
he's an astute fellow, an excellent surgeon, and I'd trust him with my
life. So, I suppose we _must_ have had a president with a brain, or I
would have heard of it from him. Shit. We get one with a brain, and
some Houdini shoots him with a magic pausing bullet that apparently
couldn't have gotten out of his cheap Italian rifle.... Bozo!

Funny, I am also a lesbian trapped in the body of a man! You see, I=20
have been drawn, rather inexplicably, to a woman from time to time and I=20
have no other explanation. So I've snuck one over on my state=20
and have a lesbian marriage they recognize (to demon lover, of course).

As a field engineer supporting the employees of one of the worlds
largest companies, about 80% of my job is spent supporting win95 and
it's applications.
Win95 is vastly superior to the old Windows 3.11 - far more stable,
much eastern to configure, better integrated, more forgiving of
hardware issues and much eastern to fix when something goes wrong.
It's not as stable as plain vanilla DOS, but the average user can get
a lot more done, a lot faster, in Win95 then they ever could with DOS
based products, even when you factor in the occasional downtime when
something in Win95 breaks.
Sure, it has its quirks and shortcomings - I don't know of any OS that
doesn't. But anyone who says "Win95 is just a bad product" either
doesn't know it well enough to take advantage of what it has to offer
or simply doesn't know what they're talking about.

Wow. Now here is a dude that REALLY needs to get out of the house
more. Considering that IF he succeeds he'll have something that can
never be sold or distributed legally, this has to be one of the most
colossal wastes of time I've heard of.

The ultimate question in determining if a product is any good for a
particular application or not is "Does it provide the user with the
tools they need to get their work done?" Win95, and the products
available for it, do that rather well.

Its been many years since I've used a Mac, but their interface ten
years ago still beats Win95 today. But Apple made a lot of serious
marketing mistakes which cost it the market share that it will never
be able to recover. Software is first released to the PC word, and
then, maybe, eventually, released for Macs. It doesn't matter if the
platform is better - the tools people need come to that platform to
late, if they come at all.

Whatever rolls his sock up and down, I guess. It still strikes me as
a colossal waste of time.
