Plus, dont you think that Common Era is more presumptious than AD. AD at least refers to a specific event no matter how arbitrary, and makes no bones about it. CE (not WinCE) assumes that that event is common to everyone without regard to whether or not they are Buddist, Shintoist, Jewish, Agnostic, or Whatever.
To me its just another example of the PC (not the X86 crowd the other one) community trying to change the language to be less "offensive" and making it more so.
I too bought SUSE6.2 when it came out for my first Distro. my first couple of installs went pretty easy and that let me get into it. Just when I thought I had the hang of it I tried to do an install on a IBM ThinkPad 760xd that was gatering dust. That was a learning experience! It had a bizzarre video card that really didn;t like Sax, but,using the suse manual an o'reilley book managed to get it going, and in the process learn all kinds of config stuff that I wasn't going to pick up any other way.
anyway, my point is just cause Yast is pretty easy that doesn't mean you can;t learn the hard way too.
There's a funny book called "Thank You for Smoking" by Christopher Buckley about a tobacco lobbyist who calls this the Yuppie Nurymburg Defense, "I vas just paying the morgage"
I was hoping this would be what I saw an ad for last night on FOX. They didn't show the box but it had a much cooler looking headset, kinda looked like it had a crystal on the end of a telephone headset. I don't even know if this was a real product or just a "see we have a cool idea" type thing. The head set on the one in the article looks like it covers too much of your face, and whats with the 10 inch thing? 10 inches at what distance? dont the I-Glasses simulate much bigger than that already.
In any case I can't wait, much less invasive than the wetware that came in earlier today
SimCity is pretty good, but the Maxis game I think would be great on the pilot is Robosport. Especially with the IR, great meeting killer, and since its not real time like SimCity I'm less likely to get excited and put my stylus through the screen.
I was in a similar dilemma to yours: I work for a company of about 600 people. One day when our Novell servers were running out of space I took a look around to see what was taking up so much space. One of the things i found was a young man in our accounting dept with about 500 megs of pr0n on his network drive.
I decided to deal with it privately, told the guy to get it off (NPI,) and warned him of the dangers.
In my Dept. we have a classic guido who drag races his camero on weekends, an indian born again christian ex-postman, a jamacan, a lapsed russian jew, a chinese mother of 4, a former commander in the isralei army, a part time comic book artist, and me (the world only quaker NRA member)
my point is a. when you job is knowledge you cannot afford to be predjusticed because you never know who you will learn from. and b. while the stereotype may have been true at one time, they are no longer.
The Pima Air and Space Museum also has a SR-71 and some early space type stuff (I think replicas, but its been a while.) The most amazing thing they have is an entire, intact, though deactivated, TITAN II missle silo just south of Tuscon. They even let you push the Button. A VERY weird feeling to say the least.
The article said that he was using a local ISP and AOL's content (i think they call it "bring your own connection") some of my less technical friends use this with their cable modems, despite my pleading...

I got r2, the Ice creature of hoth, BobaFett(he wasn't really that disagreable) admiral ozzle, and WICKET?!?!? I think i can ignore that last one.
At least it wasn't JarJAr
