You don't use SGI machines for non-graphics work. Where are you doing trying to use sendmail or running a frelling ISP on those things? They are Silicon GRAPHICS machines. They do not say Silicon Servers machines.
My old ISP (Aye-Net) uses those damn SGIs for an ISP. Why? I don't know. GRAPHICS GRAPHICS GRAPHICS. They are NOT servers!
It's nice to know that three pieces of FOAM will damage a $50 million space shuttle.

Part of the problem is that to get financing, you must look like you already have money.
That's easy to fix: Don't go on the stock market. Lemme repeat that: DON'T GO ON THE STOCK MARKET! The single biggest cause of the downfall of all of the dot-com busts: Going public. Within a year of going public, their shares go up and down and up and down and crash and $0.00. If you don't go public, you don't risk losing your entire finacial structure.
I'm surprised everybody forgot Sneakers. I'll admit that it's not the most accurate thing in the world, but there's really nothing realistically wrong with the movie.
Is it an organization? No? Then it shouldn't get a dot-org address. The whole problem is that the registrars don't have strict enforcement of the extentions. Everybody and their mother has a.com address, and the.coms have.net,.org, and every other extention, "just in case".
All this does is pollute the namespace, and removes valid entries for people that really need them.
And 16 million colours is more than the eye can see, and 44,100 samples per second is more than the ear can hear. Throughout the march of technology we've heard these ridiculously arbitrary "limits" of our senses, and invariably they are discounted at a future time. In essence you can consider them a sort of justification.
You notice that nobody is increasing the number of colors any more, or increasing the samples per second. Remember when the number of colors was a big deal? CGA? EGA? VGA? SVGA? The only reason why people are increasing the resolution is because people's monitors are getting bigger.
As far as FPS, I don't think 30 FPS is "the highest we need", but something between 70-100 FPS should work just fine. 120 FPS? 150 FPS? 200 FPS? Now you're talking overkill.
Well, if your web host is not a moron, they would use suEXEC or CGI-Wrap, instead of using "nobody". If anything, it should use a "www" user, not "nobody", which is used by other programs.
But why should government have the authority to tell a company (large or small) how to do business?
And to answer that, lemme quote what was said in an above post:
Corporations.
Aren't.
Really.
People.
They have no rights. They can't claim that we're "stepping on their Constitutional rights" because they don't have any. Otherwise, corporations could sue the government for trying to enforce monopoly laws. We limit corporations from becoming monopolies (or rather abusing as a monopoly), because they have no rights as a corporation. A corporation is merely a entity to hold money. THAT'S! IT! No rights. Not a person. No rights. Therefore, we have EVERY right to limit the way they do business.
Good. You shouldn't be able to get rich. Why try to rip off millions of people of their hard-earned cash, just because you feel greedy? If you're thinking about getting rich, try living in the US and see how it feels to to be poor, while the CEO is making $2 million a year.
And I find this funny to find this in a thread about the RIAA ripping off millions of people in price-fixing.
One of the biggest problems with GNU projects is getting other people to help you out with your code. The code may be freely available, but that doesn't that people will freely code your project. At what point does a GNU project turn from one person coding his/her work, to several/many people working regularly on the project?
Sorry, but that's a little steep for a server. Low-end model? Seems to be more like the Dell brandname added about $500 to the cost. Even Alienware is cheaper than that, and they tend to have some overly expensive machines.
And why would I buy it, when I could rent it and beat it in a day? What's the point of playing it again, when there's nothing new. A game with no replay value is not a game at all. It's a rental, and that's it.
What's wrong with Gameplay on FFX? I picked it back up again, and there's a massive amount of stuff to collect and fight. Just look at the FAQs on GameFAQs.
Bargain shopping web sites with online forum discussions such as Fatwallet.com and DealExpert.net received DMCA 512 notices with threats of legal action if they did not remove the postings containing these price lists on their web sites.
Section 512 of the DMCA. The new Super-DMCA bill is S.2048. WTF?! Are the planets aligning in the right way to have these important sections in law to happen to fall on a direct power of two?

Bad competition creates absolutely nothing. People want less ads, not more.

That's because you're using the wrong computer. You should be using a SGI.

Swordfish has nothing unrealistic compared to... ...Hackers!

I'm sorry, but the "translated" version is just as confusing to read as the Japanese version.

I hate it when web hosts don't use suEXEC.

We are charged with a tax when we earn money, and then we're charged with a tax when we spend it. Anybody think there's something wrong with this?

I'm sure we have plenty of lawyers who read Slashdot. Why don't they post and give some legal advice?
In fact, a couple of months ago, I shocked my broker by telling her that I considered (and I still do) Microsoft to be a high-risk investment.
Sounds like you need to switch brokers. She shouldn't be shocked by that.
They're not looking for Osama bin Laden's online character.
Still, I can't help but laugh at the thought of it:
"Sir, we've found him! He's playing EQ right now, under the character 'Jihad' as a Level 60 Shadow Knight!"
".....Damn! Look at that...he just 0wn3d that Level 60 Paladin in PvP!"
