I fyou liked News Radio, I suggest you check out Scrubs. It's in it's second season this fall. I think you can catch reruns during the summer on Tuesday or Thursday nights. It's the only show I watch any more besides The Mole.
I'm curious, what "other" job do you have that you can telecommute to? I've been looking for these types of jobs, not looking hard mind you, but I'm not sure where to start. Did you work in the office and then move out or did you start out working from home?
Great idea, but their animated gifs don't seem to work in Mozilla and since all the sysadmins I know are smart guys, so they use Mozilla and will probably just find this annoying.
O'Reilly does have a book upgrade program where they give you 30% off if you send them the title page. (More Info Here). Although, Bookpool has it on sale for 39% off.
I have to say that this book in both it's second and third editions has helped me through countless problems. I keep the newer edition at work and the older one at home. My 2nd edition has just about had it so I think it's time to upgrade and rotate. I may just put the 2nd edition under glass as a tribute. Thanks David!
I think people are a little confused about the difference between signing up for the meetup service and rsvping to the meeting. I wanted to see where this thing was in Kansas City and it signed me up. I wasn't able to make it so I didn't RSVP, but once I signed in the KC count went from 44 to 45. If you want to gauge how many people will be there, look for the RSVPs.

So currently there is a better chance of it hitting us because there is a wider number of possible oribits. Once we have fewer possible orbits, there is a worse chance that one of them will hit us. Good explanation. Thanks.
"This unique event should not diminish the fact that additional observations in coming weeks will almost certainly, we hope, eliminate the current threat."
Is he saying this just because the odds of a tiny (relativley) piece of something has a very slim chance of hitting a slightly less tiny(relativly) object in the whole universe? Or is there some property of Earth's magnetic field or some other force that would cause things to be pushed away from us? I would think we'd pull stuff towards us due to gravity, but I'm no physicist (or spelling bee champion).
What effect will this have on the stock market? It should have no effect at all. This is already refelected in their current stock price and anyone who didn't expect this shouldn't be on Wall St. BUT! This will trigger more panic selling on Monday. There has got to be a stop to panic driven selling on all markets before the economic slide will stop. And that will take a confidence boost which you can't create with legislation or tough attitudes. Smart investors will stay in the stock market and buy up all the cheap stock that will be riding high in a few years. Please, lets all come to our senses and stop this craziness. I need to sell my house and it would really help if the percieved economy improved. *grin*
That's good to know, I guess. At least my rights aren't being trampled by this new FCC ruling. They've been getting trampled all along and I just didn't know it. What a relief.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't this the kind of information that you needed a warrant to get? How can something that was considered private enough to require a judge's approval now be sold to the highest bidder. I seriously hope that this is not as bad as it sounds. I'm holding off writing my representatives until I see if this is real and if it really says what we're hearing. If the news is as bad as this sounds, WRITE YOUR REPRESNTATIVE!!! Don't let this action go unchallenged.
Some people may feel that this is an effort to milk consumers, but I don't think so at all.
What a load of crap. I mean really. If they were trying to do right by the customer, the November release would be this 6-disc set he mentions and you would get both for $30 instead of having two boxes sitting around with 75% of the same stuff and paying $40 for the whole thing to boot. This is only meant to milk the customer. Just admit it and be done with it.
This is great news and I apploud GM, but. Where will I fill my car up at? I don't know what kind of range these will have, but I'm guessing that I will have to fill up once a week or so. What are the options going to be for refueling?
I have to disagree. I've got a Handera 330 with the soft writing area and love it! For one I can minimize it when I don't need it(browsing, reading, gaming), and it echos my pen path so I can see what it thinks I just wrote. That definetly cleared up some confusion on why I can't write a space to save my life. I've had it for over a year now and have had no scratches at all on it and I use it quite a lot. I do have a keyboard for when I have to input a ton of stuff. Another thing I might suggest if your screen is scratching easily is to get a screen protector. I used one on my palm III and it worked great, but I haven't needed it on the Handera.
I've heard of a company that uses broadcasters based on top of grain silos around rural Illinois and Iowa. I'm not familiar with UP agriculture, but this might be an option. My uncle uses them in Illinois and has had excellent service.
The discussion came up around the office that if the antibiotics are working against the bacteria, how do they survive to mutate? The answer that we came up with, not being biologists, is that the ones that are mutants and therefore different from the norm, are not affected by the antibiotics. Since they stay around, they propogate their mutation and soon the mutants outnumber the "normal" bacteria. Is that pretty much how it works?
I know I'm going to get blasted for this, but maybe the reason that it doesn't win emmy's is because it's not that great a show. let me see if I get the plot down right. A hot girl runs around in tight shirts and does kung foo on the undead. Is that pretty much it? Oh wait, this year they stole a line from Drew Carey and did a dance number. Wow, the originality is just killer. Seriously people. The main characters name is Buffy!
Okay, to save time replying to each and every misinformed poster out there, let me clarify something for you all. When we talk about God, we are not talking about a specific religion. God is not unique to Christianity. To the Jews, God is Yawhe (sp?) to Islamics it's Allah, to Christians it's actually a tri-un god made up of three persons (God the Father, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit). The only people who have a problem with the concept of God is the athesits, or maybe the agnostics who are decidedly undecided on the whole matter. I have seen countless posts here that try to portray the "under God" phrase as Christian, or anti-Islamic, or non-Jewish. The prase says God, not Jesus or THE God. God is a very generic term. I don't mean to sound like flamebait, but just because all the slashdotters looking to rebel against something have seen christianity as one of those things to rebel against, doesn't mean the rest of the religious world sees it that way. Please become enlightened before you spew out your uneducated opinions.
He's not saying no one should do it, but rather that they will not get reelected if they do. He's probably right, and here is why. Elected officials are elected to act on the behalf of their constituents. If the majority of their constituents believe that this phrase should remain, and they see that their representative does not, they may well not vote for him as a representative of their views. Now if that representative comes from a largely athestic community, slashdot ville for example, then he/she/it has a good chance of getting relected. That's how a republic works.

What kind of work do you do? Web development? Software development? Other? I'm curious what types of jobs can be worked from home.

I've got 1.0 on Windows 2000. I wonder what the difference is?

...being able to compile code on several platforms without worrying about ports is a great achievement.
It is! But it happened 7 years ago with the release of Java.

1) The image is obviously doctored to some way since there is part of the name missing. You can see that it has been clone brushed over.
2) Hard graffiti area?! Why is it that Palm is so far behind the curve?
3) Please tell me that is a microphone at the top right so I can finally ditch my digital recorder.
4) Finally, what the heck is up with that picture in the bottom left?

You are right, that part is irrelevant. Yet it has been part of the argument in many slashdot posts on this story. That was my point.
