when someone who knows more than you about a certain topic warns you, listen!
"How you can tell when you are in perilous times. That's when people go out of their way to listen to the advice of engineers." -- DOOM Novel 3 "Internal Sky" p. 70.
I believe people who says they have little to contribute, are sometimes the most reliable people to ask, because they consider more factors, yet are in no hurry to show off their knowledge.
I admire your courage and humility, Mr Scrameustache. I really do.
I think you misunderstood his meaning/intention. He wasn't poopoo-ing the importance of a reliable telephone in every home.
He was merely replying to another guy... by nitpicking and giving lame questions, thinking that his 'challenge' will push him 2 rungs up the ladder of intelligence.
The IIS doesn't have a big enough hanger ay for Qui-Gon's space vehicle.
Sorry, please allow me to clarify that.
The Jedis' landing policy is NOT to execute a standard automated VTOL procedure. Instead, they slam their vehicle onto the hanger floor, skid across in a great shower of sparks (preferably into the reception committee waiting there), wait till the vehicle rests to a stop, blow off the hatches, and jump right out doing a somersault while switching on the light sabers simultaneously.
Thus, we need a large hanger bay to receive them, and preferably a committee of disposable beings.
The IIS doesn't have a big enough hanger bay for Qui-Gon's space vehicle. It also doesn't have an atmosphere-retaining force field, artificial gravity, or hanger bay crew.
In short, the IIS doesn't meet minimum safety requirements to risk the lives of our valuable Jedi knights.
I'd seen a real life girl geek who runs PuTTy on her mobile phone (with a qwerty keypad). She SSHed into her home Linux server in front of me. She then regenerated new private/public RSA keys for some application. She also described to me how she used ipfilters to protect her home server.
Wouldn't it make sense for Microsoft, from a PR standpoint, to release its content under a public license, enabling Wikipedia to incorporate content it deems appropriate?
I agree with you. Now if only we can solve these problems:
Some materials may be licensed from elsewhere. (Cassius Corodes (1084513))
Microsoft won't like the loss of control or copyright.
.
It will be quickly forgotten by the general public.
It won't be noticed by the TV-watching public.
People will underestimate how much work (and salary) went into it.
.
People can recompile the materials into a ad-supported website elsewhere. Free money!
People can misrepresent, modify and degrade the work.
The degraded work will be attributed erroneously to Microsoft.
I have a vivid mental image of you, a big bulky man with black leather jacket, seated at a fast food outlet table, alone, hunching over the tiny netbook, looking down on the screen intensely, and typing quickly. Is that correct?
PhotoJim is correct: stickers will quickly convey another image of you. Or I'd suggest these words instead: "No, I will NOT fix your computer", or "Stare at me for 5 seconds, and you're DEAD".
Another method is to change your posture slightly. Push the netbook away a bit, tilt your chin up slightly, and made a very slight nasty expression on your face. It's uncomfortable, but people are sensitive to body and face, and seeing you like that may just drive a little shiver down their spines.
Anyway, how I envy you. I use my white 9" Eee (no pink in stock) outdoors almost everyday, and not a single woman (or man) has ever approached me.

Thank you for explanining, denzacar! I was actually making a joke, but I learn a lot from your experience too.
Sounds like you do a lot of work related to warehousing, and have seen PC desktops/minitowers kept in dusty conditions.
It's better than the hard one, where you have to perform insane surgery and connect it directly to the guts within. (Ewww.)
Thank you, Overly Critical Guy. That's a good one. I just don't have your guts to say it out.
IMHE - floppy drives are on of those things you could salvage even from a case that was partially burned or submerged in water.
In your humble experience, your casing was on fire, so you poured water on it?

I actually laughed. You so deserve humor points for this, regardless of your ID length.
Thank you for your kind explanation!

Now back to my Trade Wars 2002 game...
There's 100,000 people willing to take their place.
It's refreshing to have such a public statement of defiance in the face of stupidity.
Let's hope it doesn't affect the career opportunities of this brave man. Puppetmasters have been known to flare up at lesser provocations.
... makes you look good, you recognize others for their efforts and you take responsibility for what you are responsible for.
There was a discussion on Slashdot:
Do Nice Engineers Finish Last In Tough Times? (Jan 20, 2009)
In the linked TFA, the humane manager got canned, and the backstabbing manager got retained.
Novell Netware for me. (Latest version: 6.5 SP8)
It makes the computer hot faster than lighting the stove.
But, you'd have to wait for 7 years...

Unfortunately, she's already attached.
Sometimes, I'm envious of gays. They really pick up chicks so easily. I have never managed to picked one up before, hard as I've tried.

If they suspect you're gay at least that's disarming, and they'll figure it out eventually.
And by then, they'll already be on the bed with you.
We all do, but we all don't seem to attract women (except this guy)!
