When Woz is saying you don't have business skillz, that's something. Seriously, the phrase for this 'Emotional Intelligence' and it's in short supply for most geeks/nerds/etc.
Ah Christian Fundamentalists... they're just like Islamic Fundamentalists... only different.
Name the last time Fundamentalist Christians flew planes into building killing innocents, or used truck bombs to blow up apartment buildings or office buildings or naval ships. Eric Rudolph and that dipshit sniper are not the same as the thousands of Islamic Wahhabists who are intent on killing all non-believers.
You're argument is just as bad as the idiot in the article.
Is that even the case? Don't most emails take their timestamp from the sender's client? I believe that's the case with Lotus Notes. I am not a Sys Admin, so I don't know. But it would seem like most of this is handled at the OS level anyway. We have a couple days to patch yet, right?
After Y2K, I doubt most folks will lose sleep over this one. (That is if anyone is still in their same job.)
And then I saw the web with pictures, and I instantly got it.
Didn't we all...didn't we all...
Seriously, though, I just went back through some training materials circa '97 or '98 with a data gathering tool someone had built using an early edition of ColdFusion and the browser was almost as funny as the screens they had built. We've come a long way, baby.
Compared to the tens of thousands of gun related deaths reported annually in the US
Well the number is less than 30K annually, so your "tens of thousands" can be miscontrued. And over half of them are suicides. In a country with as many folks as the US has, I would be interested to see what the statistical relationship is between gun crime and population size in the two countries.
Your right about enforcement being the issue. The mechanism is 'trust' - it's what society is based on. Unfortunately most folks talk about adding gun laws instead of enforcing the ones we have. You have a gun illegally? Spend 2 years in the poke. Fine with me. Threaten someone with a gun? Tell them you'll be back at work in a few years. But stop penalizing the law abiding citizens. Just 'making it illegal' doesn't work.
What nobody talks about is that this dude was on a killing rampage for almost a decade and Philly police couldn't close the loop. That's what happens when you fire John Timoney and bring in Sylvester Johnson who's more interested in protecting the mayor from Federal probes than curtailing crime.
(And thanks to the asshole mod who tagged my GP post as 'flamebait'. I bet you're fucking French.)
Personally, I think there is an excellent case for banning handguns, but I'm not an American, and fortunately they're already banned where I live.
So there's no handgun violence where you live? Handguns were banned in Philly for over a decade and handgun violence still rose.
Besides, the right to arm oneself is a defense against tyranny. You can choose to inure yourself and think the government will always be there to help.
But I wonder, are you one of those countries we saved/freed in WWII?
I would disagree. MEPIS is certainly user friendly and includes codecs if I'm not mistaken. Slackware does too, however, some folks seem to think the Slack learning curve is steep. I would disagree, but I would not posit it as an off-the-shelf answer for most folks.
Once again, I have to ask, how well does it integrate with SharePoint? SharePoint is going to me Microsoft's collaboration tool of choice and not only does Linux not play with it, it doesn't have a competing offering. Heck, this is going to affect OS X as well. (And I'm not saying SharePoint is the answer, but a lot of CIO's seem to think so. For whatever that's worth.)
You've got to be kidding. Ever heard of Intellectual Property? We're moving to Office 2007/SharePoint because of DRM. (Not that I think it will work like the brochure says...)
From the look of this thing you would need straight lines, plenty of clearance, and two rails running next to each transmission line.
Good point. In Philly as late as the 1960's there were portions of the water line that were running through hollowed out tree trunks. Seriously. I can't see this being of any use in a town like Philly. Read this story about a recent underground explosion and you'll know what I mean.
Christ, I know Latin, Attic Greek, Spanish, French, enough German and Dutch to get laid/order a beer plus I've researched Sumerian, all in less time than Chomsky has had. Doesn't mean I'm a "cunning linguist". Let's just say his linguistic credentials don't overwhelm me. Nor do his political/social views but hey, it's a free country, even idiots get a microphone. In fact, almost exclusively.
the invasion of Iraq had we not been attacked on 9/11.
Uh, we invaded Iraq about a decade before 9/11. Saddam violated the terms of the cease fire and we resumed hostilities like we did in 1998 using the exact same intelligence.

Perhaps you should be talking to a consultant that specialises in industrial and extreme condition networking instead of slashdot?
One of two reasons why he'll eventually be fired.
How did Perl & CSV fare?
Actually, this is a *ahem* perfect use of the pluperfect tense.

Didn't think so...

Yes, Chomsky's a professor of linguistics.
And yet he only speaks one language. How funny is that?
