    With specs like that, that fortune must be old.

    12 MSCEs * $12.20/hr. / 2 competent admins = $73.20/hour.
    Is that normal? I need to move into administration ASAP.

    If it were joyriding teenagers, at least some would consider buzzing a national capital or three.

  9. Re:Don't forget to pay your on Linux Ecosystem Is Worth $25 Billion · · Score: 1

    teabaggers.

    Isn't that term reserved for people who play FPSs? Since we are using Linux, our exposure to FPSs is rather limited.

  10. Re:How much is Linux worth? on Linux Ecosystem Is Worth $25 Billion · · Score: 1

    -$104, 287 in the red

    Since "in the red" is supposed to denote a negative, -(-$104,287) is not bad.

  11. Value of Linux > Value of Vista on Linux Ecosystem Is Worth $25 Billion · · Score: 1

    Vista cost $6 billion to develop, according to Wikipedia

    There are no words that can adequately express my envy.

    Incidentally, if I leave my clothes in the dryer overnight, they get wrinkled.

    So don't leave them in the dryer. Wear them for a few weeks like a good little /.er

    "Just change the air time of American Idol to 6:00pm and turn politics to 8:00-9:00pm"

    That would not solve the problem, as it would just enhance the effect of the 4-7pm peak.

    Move American Idol to 6am and you might actually spread power usage a bit.

    I say move it to 7 p.m. Moving to 6 in the morning would be very unpopular, but 7 in the evening isn't too far of a move and it would still spread the peak.

  15. Re:The only reason we are calling this a "Computer on New Cellphone Sized "Computer" Takes Aim at Sub-Notebooks · · Score: 1

    There aren't many PDAs with a clamshell design, and there aren't many cellphones lacking a cell antenna.

    Sure, you won't run out of space. But actually finding a useful file is easier

  19. Re:I don't get this on Bringing OSS Into a Closed Source Organization? · · Score: 1

    The idea that an armed populace could effectively fight a government trained and equipped army is patently ludicrous.

    Iraqi War, anyone?

  20. Re:What I'd like on Ext4 Advances As Interim Step To Btrfs · · Score: 3, Insightful

    It sounds useful, but I think it would turn out to be about as annoying as UAC. Better to keep your files organized and prune occasionally.

  21. Re:Dear Slashdot, on Tax Write-Offs For Free (As In Speech) Work? · · Score: 1

    your police, fire, water, and multiple wars aren't going to pay for themselves.

    Also, Jabesh-Gilead wasn't destroyed (at least not by Israel by the time of Saul).
