I'm not denying that they've used Linux for a long time already - not at all. The fact is that up until a year or so ago, "Microsoft" was publically and verbally belittling and demonizing Linux and open source in general. So, despite them using it in their infrastructure already, it doesn't detract from this being ironic.
Its ironic given Microsoft's stance on Linux in the past - having gone from calling it a cancer to using it in critical infrastructure. Why you can't see that, I'm not sure - seems obvious to me.
I'm guessing you're not a troll? My freestanding shelves are at home. I'd never implement that in some big business' server room. I think you misunderstood me.:)
I wouldn't agree with the angle of your argument. An industry of modular storage and expansion cards have been built around sandardized rackable chassis, but that in no way makes them 'work better'. =)
Also, I'm a dogged perfectionist, and even I prefer the neatness I can achieve with a custom built free-standing rack with vertically mounted motherboards - we've just been installing a large infrastructure upgrade at work (big iron overly-redundant HP blade system with fiber sans) and I still like the way my vertical rack looks more (neatness + looks) - plus, I think its far more modular than a system that ties you in to a vendor or requires big bucks to fix.
Why use the outdated rack system anyway? I use cheap free-standing metal shelving and vertically mount motherboards along the shelves - awesome ventilation and looks so cool. Plus, you can put whatever you like in it - all you need is motherboards with whatever you want on them. =D
Come to Tassie. Better beautiful beaches and no box jellyfish. No crocs either. Also, they're all completely empty. Plus, if you stay here for 10 years you begin to acclimatise to the sub-zero temperatures of the water.;)
Unfortunately, you're pretty much right. In recent years though there have been a few patches (especially around the kernel's scheduler) that have dramatically sped up the Linux desktop - its actually getting pretty good now.
Another key factor in this is display drivers. I have to say, having begun using the gnu/linux desktop in the early 2000's (seems like yesterday) graphical performance has improved over the horizon. Having said that, its still got a way to go. I'd love to see vendors adopting the newer base libraries built for a cleaner graphical stack in recent years. Adoption is slow, but it is happening.
I heard that you can only perform this hack by uploading a virus from a Mac to the carriers central server farm - so, the chances of it being viable are slim.
Adam and Eve still had to suffer the consequences of their original sin. The judgement of God had to be passed down even if they did repent. You see, the whole point of the Gospel is based in this: if at one point you ever sin then you must suffer the just wrath of God on your sin (ie. Hell) - this being to totally reasonable stipulation from God to the creatures he created (for the apologist: KJV Rom 9:20). But, despite this, God offered a way out - the future death of His son (Christ). The only way Christ could atone for our sins was to live a perfect life, devoid of sin and then - at the end - die on a cross and take all the sins of his 'elect' (this is getting pretty heavy for non-Christians to follow - I know) on himself - thus freeing them from their own need to go to Hell for their sins.
The moment Adam and Eve sinned, the whole need of and plan for Christ was set rolling - that's the idea. The mind-blowing thing: this was all part of the plan. Again, for those that think it doesn't sound fair have to grapple with the logic behind Rom 9:20.
This is what almost makes me like the guy. Listen to any F@&$ing politician talk and in two hours you will stil have heard nothing - they're all a bunch of groomed, smooth-talking wankers.
The Australian Firewall has been around for a while now - there are some places you can't get without some wriggling, you know. Mostly though, its the passive logging and data mining that is done for *everything* that bothers me.
It makes wanting to keep your privacy very difficult.
I'm pretty sure the States is divided up into a number of areas for operational control. It so happens that this one has been assigned the number '51'.

The gear is more prominent and central to the game - not 'better'.
Heh, yeah - perhaps a little too hobbyist orientated. =D
The title of summary should clear that all up for you, good sir.
Well, I haven't experienced any issues with RF interference. Having said that, I haven't done any rigorous testing either.

you musn't be married then. ;)

Personal opinion though. =)

Building a nice 'super' computer. Beowulf anyone?

Lol, now that's the dad I wan't to be. Cheesy, lame jokes are my thing, I think. =D
Plus, as you've noted, people *do* remember all those fun times. =)

Correct. Head over to the DSD for details.
I'm going to suggest that this takes the cake. =)

A magnet isn't going to effect the result enough though, is it?

Close, but still no cigar (IMHO). =)

Give me a genuine character any day.
No, the cat did leave them out there. The odd thing is that when I opened the door, they were gone.

I've written code using the flapping of a butterfly's wings.
Had to ditch that though.
I think that's some spare room for his futuristic projector of 3D hacking cubes.
