Yeah, I'm pretty disappointed, here in Illinois. We ended up with too many Democrats in state government. As far as the Congress and Senate races, I'm very pleased with the results.
A data center I worked in used all three classes for various functions. the 192 network was for all the desktops and small department servers in the corporate network. The big HP unix application and database servers in the ASP were on both the 172 and the 10 network. All the Linux and MS servers were on the 10 network.

Even more important question: Where is Jamie Lee Curtis, and her breasts?
I certainly see your point. I don't plan on organizing pickets in front of corporate headquarters, or anything like that. In the past, when I have made a moral/ethical decision to stop supporting a particular company, I have made certain to let them know that they have lost a customer over whatever issue is involved. I also make certain to have a quick explanation to anyone who asks me why I don't buy that product. You have decided to do the second part, I like to include the first part as well.
There was a time when Amazon.com was on everybodies shitlist, that there was a site where you could register all the online purchases you didn't make with Amazon, as a way of telling them how much they lost in sales.
Who is the crack-addled, paranoid, conspiracy theory nut moderator who voted this 'Insightful'? This is the kind of kookery that gives us true conspiracy theorists a bad name. This is clearly an uninformed, misguided troll.
The Rothschilds did not take over England. It was the Freemasons and the Rosicrusians.
That's all well and good, but paypal has a widely reported habit of suspending people's accounts for long periods of time, and for little or no reason. This is behaviour that is getting the attention of regulatory authorities.
So save the moronic MSFT-centric conspiracy theories until MSFT hands out iBooks to its employees.
They already have. Microsoft purchases Apple products all the time. The entire Mac BU needs them. (and I have heard that BG actually prefers his TiBook to his Dell. I can understand that.)
Since when is it a requirement that a lawsuit make sense before being filed? Lawsuits are filed for many reasons, not the least of which is to attempt to intimidate your opponent. Often, the mere threat of a lawsuit is all that is needed to get the desired behaviour.
Third Party drivers, not applications. Drivers run in the priveledged kernel environment. The amount of damage a poorly written, tested, and debugged driver can do is much greater than an application of similar shoddy quality.
CGI, in and of itself, is not the problem. The problem is George Lucas, and his lack of artistic taste. There are good examples of CG characters that do engage an audience, and display life and personality. Pixar and Big Idea come to mind. CG is just a tool.
There is no difference between corrupt corporate executives, and Copyright Infringers, morally speaking. You are either morally and ethically correct, or you are not. The sooner people start understanding that there is NO grey area when it comes to morality and ethics, the sooner we can get on to the important business of mankind. Theft, Copyright violations, fraud, murder. whatever. It's ALL wrong.
What the hell is Palladium, if not a mandatory DRM mechanism? Do you seriously believe that MSFT and Intel care one bit about privacy? Palladium was designed with the ??AA in mind. I think M$ wants a slice of the licence fees every private citizen will have to pay, for every piece of data which flows through the Palladium chip.
What is gcc doing on a production webserver in the first place.
My usual practice is to remove the compiler and linker after building the system. I never install anything extra. It's all one package at a time. It's a PITA, but that's the way it goes. If I need to patch, or install from source later on, gcc gets put back, and taken away again after.

Sure, they come to the professionals.... AFTER fiddling with it for 20 minutes, or 2 hours, or a week. By the time they give up, and after they have gotten advice from the 13 year old neighbor, only then do they come to tech support, or the help desk. By that time, whatever the original problem was has been obscured by layers of DIY computer engineering, and finger-poking.
The CDW ads on TV, where 'Fred' is continually assaulted by ID10T's are too true to be funny.
Does oxymoron mean self-absorbed, navel-gazing, egoism?;-)
Some may think this is flamebait, but blogging, and even keeping a private journal is an incredibly self-centered activity. It's no wonder there are so many people on anti-depressants. They spend all their time writing their thoughts down, and re-reading them.
It seems to be a generational thing. I don't know anyone in my peer group who journals, but a lot of 20 somethings and high school kids seem to do it. They are also the ones who whinge the most about their life. If you spent less time describing your sad life, and more time working to make it better, you might find you actually don't have anything to whine about.
It is true that earlier generations were noted for their diaries. We know a great deal about history as the result of the private writings of Pepys, Jonson, Addams, Jefferson, and many others. There are some fundamental differences between the diaries of Samuel Pepys, and the blogging of most 20 year-olds with a cable modem and a web-cam.
Pepys was very well read. He was highly educated in literature, philosophy, and history.
He spent very little time writing about his life, but about the lives of those around him, the relationships, politics, and events that shaped his life.
By contrast, most bloggers have a limited education, especially in the classics, history, rhetoric, and philosophy. They may be quite smart, but rarely have they been educated. Students in High School and college these days are more likely to be trained, to be good workers in the modern economy.
This has become more of a rant than I originally intended. I simply dislike the Blog culture, navel-gazing raised to a spectator sport.

Not buying their product is a boycott.

You might be right about that. But I suspect the Samuel Pepys of the blog generation aren't flashing their tits in hopes you will buy them stuff.
