Next you're going to tell me Microsoft made something called a 'winmodem' that only worked on windows. Sheesh don't get worked up thinking so much. I just sit back and let Clippy tell me what to do.
State Administration and Finance Secretary Eric Kriss insisted that decision was made on technical grounds...
Like the virus that got into the government systems recently and caused them all to be shut down? Then again being the state of MA, maybe they thought they could tax the virus to death before it did any harm...
RIAA exec 1: Look! Companies are selling music online. They are giving their customers what they want and making money. Logically this means we should do one thing.
RIAA exec 2: Of course! Continue to sue our customers!
RIAA exec 1: Because only WE know what's right for them!
Spammers send out spam to make money. That means there is information in the email about where to send money to recieve the items they are selling. Once you have that information it's easy to trace the money to the final person asking for it, assuming they don't do any money laundering which is illegal in itself.
These would be a little more believable if...

..they made predictions like "You will find a job soon.", "You will start a new career", or "You will move in with your parents."
There was a military project funded by the government for transporting information. They wanted to be able to transfer information in the event that sections of the US's infrastructure was blown up by nukes. The scientists working on it said it could be used for other uses, but they just said that to get the funding. It was really just for the military. I think it was called the "Internit" or something like that.
I don't think Lucas Arts is going to ask a kid that sues his own friends for unwanted attention to be in their movie. What kind of attention do you think the kid is going to get if he's in the next Star Wars movie? Never mind a little quicktime video clip on the net. And if he can sue his own friends, a commercial corporation worth 100's of millions of dollars isn't going to want anything to do with him.
So, can this be used to say SCO is tampering with the code they are using to make comparisons with? Technically the code they put up isn't in the kernel.
I can see the Hollywood movie now. Caveman falls in love with Cavewoman. Cavewoman, who has no modern medicine, no concept of hygeine and scavenges plants and dead animals for food, will have beauty that rivals a modern day Miss America. Caveman, who is in the same situation and a recent decedent of the ape, will have the suaveness to of Sean Connery. Both will speak perfect English, but with a slight "caveman" accent.
After frollicing in the beautiful mountain landscape, Cavewoman is captured by an evil Cavemen tribe and brutally killed. Caveman turns out to be a martial arts/archery/knife expert and goes after the Caveman tribe for revenge. Ensues is a 1 hour battle through horrible storms, lightening and freezing mountains. Caveman will eventually kill off his aggressors but succumb to his own wounds.
Slowly pan out of Caveman being buried in snow on a glacier.
It sounds like someone has a script checking filenames for certain words. How else would someone think that file contains Pac Man the game? What is the world coming to? Automated lawsuits?
Good Morning. Law Bot has found 2431 possible lawsuits today. Would you like to proceed with 2431 litigations? (Y/N)

Thank you. Law Bot will now attempt to find an open relay to distribute litigations by email.
Oh good, Pepto Bismo, just what I need. "We're sorry sir, but due to US business patent laws, you're not allows to buy that Now." Uh what? "Sir, you'll have to put it back on the shelf and come back Later." When is Later? "Later would be not Now, say tommorrow." But, but, my stomache...
How about a chapter at the end called "Transitioning your career from Software Engineer to McDonalds Burger Flipper". I think that applies to more programmers today than any of the other chapters.
It looks like "Service Unavailable" won first place! It says so right there, smack in the middle of the front page! I can't wait until I can download it an watch it.
I did house call tech support for a summer in my neighborhood. I charged 30$ an hour to drive to peoples houses and fix their comp. When you have someone comp in front of you, you don't have to explain anything to them, they just want to to see it working again.
But even then idiots always manage to find a way of causing problems. Another problem is people always call up on the phone and try to get free tech support. They think it's like calling the manufacturer of a product. The pay was decent but all the driving and dumb problems weren't worth it.
I use PS on Windows for all my digital photo editing (as can be seen in my signature). But I still need to use Windows because my scanner, a Canon scanner, only has software for Windows. If the scanner worked in Linux then all my digital photo editing would no longer require Windows.

That will only let you hold office 30 times.

I still prefer AMD chips for some reason.

Hooking this antenna up to my WiFi card will open about a 1000 new WAPs in Boston. Free internet here I come!
