    You have root - set up your own sudo, you're a big boy now.

    Application errors can fuck it up - better not give the network management console rights to the bosses $HOME.

    I am from Bulgaria - trust me, you don't need local enemies - we're nuttier than a fruitcake shop. I believe you've met our Gypsies.

    A thinkpad ought to handle that.

    I hear the new ones are going downhill, is that true?

    Someone offering an upgrade service for $399 would make a pretty penny.

    The hardware industry has it wrong - the memory controller should go in the RAM chips, not the CPU. Anyway, the rest can use the more than sufficient HyperTransport - a standard socket form factor and power lines are only needed.

    Agreed, but there are many devices not meant to be networked, or at least, not be so invasively patched. Not to mention that the patches need to be written. That goes into the rolling out patches calculation. Or at least that happened in my head when I wrote the GP.

    Do you like rhetorical questions?

    Who the hell votes for these things - surely not the people, so I don't see your point.

    How about Swatch Internet Time? Though administration and corporate don't know how to schedule, period.

    Do the politicos want to cover IT costs for rolling out patches and maintenance for the whole network? If not, I wish them all a happy life. And death in a lithium fire.

    Oh, if only everybody would switch to Swatch Internet Time, or Geek Time, or old hexadecimal time. But that would be logical.
    On topic sig, BTW.

    What about the orbits being at an angle to each other - no tidal forces for most of the year. A metallic dust cloud suspended by the gas giant magnetic field to crank down the intensity of that young star/small black hole/dual star system?

    Nitpick much? I suppose you think Dr. Manhattan being nude takes away from the depth of The Watchmen?
    And she's supposed to be a companion? Her face somehow says country-girl from India. On second though, she looks like she has some features typical of whites... Way to depict your characters far from your comfort zone, America. ~

    I don't see attendance as a need - as many posters mentioned - it's not key to academic success - not to mention that it can be detrimental, in my experience, but that's another story. For me, learning is not optional, and as a great man once said (I forgot who), you shouldn't let school interfere with your education. OTOH, that's your kids, you get to raise them your way, and I'm pretty sure that you're gonna do better than most parents in the US. My only worry is you being to harsh on them - that can ruin lives in very subtle, but painful ways - I've seen it first hand.

    Aaaa... right, that ain't relavant, the second a start-up becomes netflix indie unrated(TM), the second their servers are up in smoke.

    Microsoft is - they are a convicted monopolist, leveraging their position, and using anti-competitive practices. Anyone care to correct me? Oh, and don't look at my sig. Ever.
