That Iraq had weapons of mass destruction -- that the weapons did exist -- is as incontrovertable a fact as the use of chemical weapons in World War I. The only question is if Iraq hid them or destroyed them before the Second Gulf War.
ROTFL - time for another Bill Hicks quote:
US Military: "Iraq has terrible weapons".
Press: "How do you know?"
US Military: "Err, we looked at the receipts. And as soon as the check clears, we're going in!"
Rack materials cost is currently estimated to be $121K for 96TB. Node materials are a just under $1450. This price does not include markup, assembly or burn-in from the system integrator and thus will increase by another 5-7% to approximately $130K/rack.
If you are, or are dealing with, a lawyer, a real-estate agent, or anyone who works with contracts, you exchange the contracts via fax. (Typing your name in e-mail doesn't count as a signature.)
And just how crazy is that? I kept a scan of my signature on my PC when I ran a web design business. If anything needed changing at the bank, I'd write a letter to the bank and plop the TIF sig in and fax. And my employees could do it too if I was away. Could I email them a GPG/PGP signed email? Nope. Can I do that now? Nope? Can I *still* send them a fax with a pasted in scanned signature? Yep.
I'll never understand the mentality of UK banks (Lloyds in this particular case) or anyone who accepts "signed" faxes as a secure document...
...and found it cluttered. It's like they took the tutorial pages and the appendix and decided to shuffle them together.
The listings are only for parts of an application at a time, making it hard to visualize the whole project.
It could really do with having stand alone examples for each chapter or, at the very least, have an associated web site with such content (the listings could, I guess, get a little out of hand).
It may just be me, but seeing snippets out of context is not how I learn things.
I think it would have been better if they started off by presenting the whole of the notetaker program, and then analysed each section to explain what it did, and leave the detailed descriptions of tags to appendices.
In its defence though, there's so much to learn that it would be hard to make a good tutorial in one book along with the reference material - whatever the approach.
I'm still waiting for a perfect book on Mozilla Application Development. Kudos to anyone who manages to write one though - there's so much to cover.
"But that's the problem with this country, one of the many, but this whole issue of sexuality and pornography, which I don't understand what pornography is, I really don't. To me, pornography is, you know, spending all your money and not educating the people in America, and spending it instead on weapons, that's pornographic to me, that's totally filthy, and etc., etc., down the line, you all in your fucking hearts know the goddamned arguments, okay, great. But no one knows what pornography is. Supreme Court says pornography is anything without artistic merit that causes sexual thought, that's their definition, essentially. No artistic merit, causes sexual thought. Hmm. Sounds like... every commercial on television, doesn't it? You know, when I see those two twins on that Doublemint commercial-I'm not thinking of gum. I am thinking of chewing, maybe that's the connection they're trying to make. What? You've all seen that Busch beer commercial, where the girl in the short hot-pants opens the beer bottle on her belt buckle, leaves it there, and it foams over her hand and over the bottle and the voice over goes, "Get yourself a BUSCH." Hmm. You know what that looks like, nah, no way. I'll tell you the commercial they'd like to do, if they could, and I guarantee you, if they could, they'd do this, right here. Here's the woman's face, beautiful. Camera pulls back, naked breast. Camera pulls back, she's totally naked. Legs apart. Two fingers, right here, and it just says, "Drink Coke." Now I don't know the connection here, but goddamn if Coke isn't on my shopping list that week. "Dr. Pepper." "Snickers, satisfying." (Mouth-guitars "I Can't Get No Satisfaction") Damned if I'm not buying these products! My teeth are rotting out of my head, I'm glued to the television, I'm as big as a fucking couch.

So, about $1.3M (10 racks)
