| OOC: I got permission to join from Makura
Name: Murdock DeNoss Age: Looks to be in his 20s History: Was a young aspiring FBI agent, top ranks in all his classes and top level in his programming at MIT. Then one day he was doing his job and for all intents and purposes a virus went through the School’s system main frame that shortly spread into governmental and other nation wide. He was prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law and was then banned from going with in 300 yards of a computer for 3 life times. No one ever did find out who did it but he was the one there and it happened on his watch. Specialty/Career: A hacker who is extraordinarily good at his work. Developing specialty hardware interfaces for fast access hacking or as he puts it “plug and rip”. He 12 languages, has time in the military (5 years). While in the Military he did demolitions and communications. He’s not a smooth talker but a blunt and honest to the point type of fella. *murdock kicks the door open and looks for a split second decking chris in the face* Ooo a fight just what I needed, another workout.. Hiya fella, I'm Murdock. Don't know you but I know that I wont go down easily. *drops to the toes of his feet bending his knees and leg sweeps chris, quickly pulling chris's arm and wrapping his military boot heel to the throat while his other foot pulled from the underside the neck slowly now cutting off air to spartan then noticing folks behind him and blinks* Ok I'll let go and you folks back off. Then we show some type of identifcation? (Last edited by MurdockDeNoss on 10-07-05 01:47 AM) |

*holds out a hand to shake with chris* Again I'm sorry... |

| Not sure if this falls under this thred or not but here goes it. Tell me if you guys agree or not? I got this off a new artical from Wired News at http://www.wired.com/news/technology/0,1282,68606,00.html
Two people walk into a cafe. The woman, thin-lipped and unsmiling, carries a well-thumbed book of poetry and has a spiral notebook tucked under her arm. There's a tragic air about her. Her hair spills lifelessly from under a beret; she's dressed in black from head to toe. She goes to the counter and asks for a glass of Chianti. She's got a full day of writing ahead of her. Suicide poetry, most likely. The guy who almost runs up the woman's back following her through the door is toting a laptop; maybe it's a PowerBook, or a high-end Dell. It doesn't matter. He's got the whole yuppie-geek thing going: crisp blue shirt, khakis, cell-phone holster, designer frames. The man on a mission orders a low-fat, decaf latte. Both of them spot the empty chair next to you at the same time. Quick: Who would you rather share your table with for the next hour or so? I've been the copy chief at Wired News for more than seven years now, and I'll take the poet every time. For one thing, the cafe is a place to socialize or to sit in quiet solitude. The poet probably won't have much to say, but she'll leave you in peace. It's hard to do either when your tablemate is checking stock quotes online or yapping with a business partner on his cell phone. Working on the computer is a little like masturbation: It's best accomplished in the privacy of your own home. Besides, I'm something of a tech skeptic, so the poet appeals to the Luddite in me. And that's the reason for this column: to lend a contrarian perspective to a world besotted with technology and all its bright, glittery appeal. This is not, as some of my colleagues have characterized it, an "anti-technology" column. I'm not, strictly speaking, anti-technology. I just don't treat it like a freaking religion. So this is a "perspective" column. In case you're wondering, this Luddite thing doesn't compromise my effectiveness as an editor for what is often described as a "tech site." On the contrary, a professional editor can edit anything. Besides, I like to think that my colleagues find my iconoclastic crankiness kind of endearing. If nothing else, it breaks up the monotony of all those clacking keyboards. I swear, sometimes it sounds like the pious fiddling with their prayer beads in here. The blind worship of technology makes me very cranky, indeed. At heart, I'm a wick-and-tallow man, although I freely concede that technological advances have achieved some great things. You can kill your enemy without ever laying eyes on him. You can consume, consume, consume to your heart's delight. You can have a dog without actually taking the responsibility of owning one. You can infect other people's computers with viruses. You can burn a hole in your corneas and drain the color from your flesh by playing video games for a hundred hours every week. And you can blog because everything you say is so interesting it should be shared with everyone. OK, OK, they're doing remarkable things with stem cells these days (when they're allowed to). The internet, used intelligently, can be a terrific research tool, an effective guardian of free speech and the sharing of information, plus it opens an entire world to people who might otherwise be shut out. Cell phones and handhelds, used judiciously, come in handy now and then. E-mail, while encouraging sloppy writing habits, certainly has the advantage of immediacy. Then there's TiVo, of course. There's plenty of useless crap being flogged out there, too, but it's not all doom and gloom. But it ain't no bed of roses, either. There's a price to be paid for all this cool stuff, and it's a steep one. The farther we advance and the faster we go, the more we seem to be losing touch with our basic humanity. Today, as we launch this "anti-tech" column on this august tech site, let's just generally consider the human factor. That, after all, is the Luddite's historical concern. For all the things it's done for humanity, technology has been equally hurtful. You feel the pain of it, or know somebody who does. Admit it. For one thing, human beings are not meant to go as fast as modern technology compels them to go. Technology might make it possible to work at warp speed, yes, but that doesn't make it healthy. And just because the latest software makes it feasible to double your workload (or "productivity," to you middle-management types), that shouldn't give the boss the right to expect you will. With cell phones, IM and all the personal-this and personal-that, we're connected all the time, or "24/7" as the unfortunate jargon has it. Is being connected 24/7 a good thing? Isn't it healthy to be "off the grid" now and then? If you can't answer "yes" to that question, you may be a tech dynamo, my friend, but please stay the hell out of my cafe. Technology was supposed to free us, not enslave us. The promise of technology was the promise of an efficient workplace and more freedom to pursue the things that enrich us as human beings. Well, technology has freed us all right -- permanently, in some cases. How many jobs have simply disappeared, made obsolete overnight by computers that don't mind working 24/7, don't expect a union wage and never bitch about working conditions? How many companies have made such enormous investments in the latest technology that they now consider their human employees expendable? Too many, that's how many. Technology, specifically computer technology, was going to help the environment, too, by eliminating the need for paper and saving all those trees. A few more trees may be standing, somewhere, but as landfills fill up with junked monitors, CPUs and printers (many perfectly functional but discarded simply because something more way-cool came along), it's hard to see where the environment -- your environment, incidentally -- has benefited much. Anything that diminishes the value of a single human being poses a threat to a rational, humane society. When technology can cure a disease or help you with your homework or bring a little joy to a shut-in, that's great. But when it costs you your job, or trashes the environment, or takes you out of the real world in favor of a virtual one, or drives your blood pressure through the roof, it's a monster. I'm a Luddite who nevertheless uses technology (I mean, I'm not Amish, for crying out loud). The romantic in me might prefer the idea of riding Old Paint into town but I can appreciate the efficiency of a car, especially one with a five-speed gearbox. What I'll be doing in this column is asking you technophiles to downshift a bit, to relax. Who gives a damn if you're working on a Mac or a PC, really? It's just a bloody box. So take a little break. Get some sunshine. Go down to the cafe and keep communion with a tortured poet. |

| Remember that if the shell of the hardware, I.E. the covering of the LCD screen and underside of the keys is exposed seeing from the images on that site then you're going have to be alightly cautious when walking around town and the such. I have a laptop that I carry in my back pack and its suffered from that. The CD/DVD combo has stoped working from setting it down on the table, floor, seat, etc to hard. Back end USB ports are jared loose so now I dont have 2 of the total 3 USB ports.
But then again they, the manufactures of this new item have thought about that. Which of course means repairs are going to be harder to get due to the fact like all new computer technology is so small that its harder to fix by a larger group and thus warnties and the like are going to be more expencive. I just found on eBay a Gateway 5300 Solo and bought it for $100 for my mom and also bought a PCIMA linksys wireless 802.11g card for $30 bucks on eBay. I have a Corp. OEM Ed. of WinXP Pro so I can make as many copies as I need being a computer tech. I had extra RAM and put her RAM up to around 640. So in total I got her a Good system that I can fix and work on, Had Win Office 2003 XP Pro, WinXP Pro, and RAM for $130. Shop around, the deals are there but you have to find them. |

| *Murdock gets silent and just follows along now he didn't lead unless he was the only one left and these new folks needed to be watched he couldn't know if it was one of them who put them here or what. he just walks along slowly spining his dagger on the tip of his finger now and then. he smiles and nods to Jack slightly being a few feet down the wall from where he attempted to suclued himself from the rest. by look you'd say Murdock was off in his own world* | |||
