Skippy - heh. I didn't particularly like Tehanu either, but I don't think her "message" did the book in - I think it was just that my memories of the original Earthsea trilogy come from my childhood, and Tehanu took a point of view that tended to stomp those rather naive memories into the ground.
Why do you put up with crap like that? (I mean "you" as in "posters, generally from the US, in this thread and others who have similar stories", not you specifically).
Is there some requirement that all US builders forget who's paying for what they're working on the moment they pull out their wireclippers, or what?
I need one that's available now, at a resonable price.
Hang on for about three hundred years; I've heard there's one that should be released about then. I think the supplier name was something like "Star Federal" or "Galaxy Feds" or something like that.
By the way, the Japanese inscription on them reads "The Imperial Government of Greater Japan". Once again, I apologize for stomping all over your racist fantasies.
I think you may find that that money was actually issued by the Japanese Government for use in the Philippines during the war, after they kicked the asses of the US military.
Sorry about destroying your Imperialistic illusions...
Ummm... you are aware that SCO's current product line does not consist of Linux distributions, but rather original UNIX kernel-based operating systems, and thus pulling SCO's right to distribute the Linux kernel does them no harm whatsoever?
However, what's the advantage of spending big buck$ on a commercial OS if you immediately have to go and download a metric shitload of free software to make it usable?
No, the FSF will only generally defend the GPL for software where the copyright belongs to them (i.e. software written by the FSF or which has had its copyright assigned to the FSF by its author).
The simple reason is that only the copyright holder can sue someone for violating that copyright.
You've got a couple of alternatives for cheaper seats.
Cinemas usually offer advance ticket sales (for example, Innocence tickets are available for 1,300 yen at Lawson convenience stores).
If you go on the official Movie Day, you can usually get in for 1,000 yen. This sometimes doesn't apply for popular movies, and it varies between movie chains and areas, but it's usually the first of each month (in the areas around Tokyo) or the first Wednesday of each month (within Tokyo), except for January and December.
I had a look through the official site, including an interview with the director, and they never touched upon an overseas release, so I'd guess that you'll have to wait a while longer...
If the place is thinking about locking down the machines the sysadmins are using, then obviously they must have a separate internal IT section.
Really, I stick to my original point - doing any of the things you've suggested could be grounds for dismissal. The larger the shop, the higher the chances.
(By the way, there's at least one method I can think of for getting around the problem you mentioned - put a small Linux/*BSD box in bridge mode between the network and your personal Linux and Windows boxes, and redirect any incoming traffic transparently to the Windows box. If you do it right, you should be able to mimic the MAC address of the Windows box on the external interface of the bridge box, and make sure that anybody poking around from the network side sees only the Windows box.)
Note that this will get you fired in a lot of places for bringing in an unsecured machine. Also, ever heard of MAC address control? Quite a few big shops will block you from the network if your MAC address is not pre-registered.

Please don't think that summary is in any way representative of the novels.
In fact, I would recommend people not to read those summaries, because they give completely the wrong impression.

Hey, I'm not the one with a wartime Japanese-issued note who thought it was a Occupation-era American-issued note.
Bet you aren't so proud of it now.
Finaly in the optional Sack:
1 Xbox
How big is that sack?!

Hang on for about three hundred years; I've heard there's one that should be released about then. I think the supplier name was something like "Star Federal" or "Galaxy Feds" or something like that.
And here's some more: 1 peso, 5 peso, 10 peso and 100 peso notes.

I thought that Cory Whatshisname was a conceited asshole, but now I see that you have him beat six ways from Sunday in that respect.
Well done, sir - I salute your overwhelming arrogance!
Well then I guess I'll have to leave, since I've never heard of this "Gizmodo".
HINT: Not everybody is a blog groupie, OK?
Where's the radio show, eh?!
They're not raccoons.
Well, yeah ;) I've spent many an hour installing free software on Solaris boxes...
However, while I'm sure that Sun would include nmap in Solaris if it'd help them sell a few more boxes, SCO no longer has that option.
The post I replied to said "It should be up to [the FSF] to defend [nmap]". This is patently false, and that is why I posted as I did.
I did not say that the FSF couldn't lend Fyodor a buck or two to sue SCO.

Sure they could - the customers are not SCO.

Urg, you're probably right. I was getting it confused with the old Sidewinder arcade game (showing my age here)...
The game was called... ...Sidewinder.

Here's a hint: if you don't want to see web sites about necrophilia, cannibalism, Barney, whatever - DON'T GO TO THEM.
Easy, isn't it?
All I can say is, you're doing a wonderful job of living up to your nick.
