... eventually, NYCL WILL come over to the Darkside - it's only a matter of time.
Someone put a transponder inside NYCL and keep a lock on it at all times! Be sure that he's accompanied by 10 bodyguards at all times, and beam him back if he's alone for more than 2 minutes.
Most importantly, make sure the bodyguards do not wear red!
Notice how "print screen" doesn't cause ink to get committed to paper in either Windows or GNOME.
Aye! I remember good ol' DOS 5's GRAPHICS.EXE (or was it GRAPHICS.COM?) and Print Screen - looks far better than the default BIOS-handled (I assume) routine. I used it to print my game screen - Jet Fighter 2 or Shanghai II: Dragon's Eye.
Now, if only I can use Shift+F7 to print (the same as WordPerfect 5.1), then I'd be really at home!
He was promised a job as a professor at a university there... after he moved we got a heartbreaking email from his wife who told us that this so-called 'professorship' didn't exist, and the authorities had given them room to live in a house together with 9(!) other families.
I think governments like this is just a reflection of human selfishness (common to all humans worldwide) - wanting to hoard all the riches but not wanting to share. It had always been the case since medieval ages. Being able to control the press is a bonus - preventing the news from spreading.
steps are taken so that as little money as possible is wasted by corruption.
I always wonder how do leaders clean up their countries and governments. It seems like a mighty difficult task, given the circular dependence.
1. To stamp out corruption, governments need more money to pay their officials, hire auditors, investigators, and so forth. 2. Governments don't have money due to corruption (either siphoned, or the people see no point in paying their taxes).
Not to mention the inbred mentality among the officials that they should engage in corruption:
1. There's little consequence, and they're being stupid if they don't engage in it. 2. Their superiors are always screwing them, and the whole system is screwed up, so they should take revenge on the system.
... it's not like I'm even going to be out there sniping politicians and bureaucrats. (I'm more of an emigration kind of guy, so long and good luck with that.)
Slashdot Mirror
***whoosh*** !
You win.
Starting the students on Vista is more like training gladiators with swords made out of aluminum foil.
In swordfighting, the parry movement means when the enemy is about to stab you, you use your own sword to push his sword away quickly.
With Windows Vista, you get this pop-up in the middle of combat:
"Windows needs your permission to continue
If you started this action, continue.
Parry Movement
Arm Motor Control
To continue, type an administrator password, and then click OK.

Whoooooooosh!
The glacier wind is really strong around here.
Grow a pair for christ's sake!
Maybe the Pair has shrunk down from years of disuse, seeing that we don't generally socialize.
Links to weight loss advertisements, written in the form of reviews. Absolutely nothing in relation to this Slashdot story.
The "I have about 12-15 ..." sentences are taken from a "Ping Pong Tables for Sale" blog.
That's rather arrogant of you.
Even *I* can't troll like this.
Ideas are no goods and have no money value.
Unfortunately, the music songs are not "ideas". They are end-products with market value.
I believe "ideas" are songs or lyrics that you are thinking of composing.

I've probably got 100 different passwords rattling around in my brain.
Let me guess ... hotmailpassword, yahoopassword, googlepassword?
Looks to me like a broken ball-and-chain and a pirate symbol.
Are we talking about an escapee from gaol for music/movie piracy here?

I'm getting old already.
Idiot AC is trying to troll by calling others trolls. Amen.
Would you like to share a bit more with us? On how we can set and use the modifiers - whether in Windows, GNOME, or whatever.
Yes, I can Google for it, but I'd rather hear it from someone experienced.
One nice takeaway from the rhesus monkey study: in the long run, bullies never win.
Would you be willing to share a bit more of this?
Well, you need someone to clear the bugs, cockroaches and moths, otherwise the systems will eventually be filled with bugs.
... require CCIE, MBA, at least masters level degree...
You forgot SAP, Oracle and MCTS.
... minimum ten years experience with "windows server 2008R2"...
No, no, you'll attract all the old forgies. You should specify "windows server 2011R4". I guarantee you'll attract the very best!

Let's go and sail forth to a BRAVE NEW WORLD!
How the heck do you guys pronounce complex words like "Yew Ess Bee" so clearly between coughs?
*blushing furiously*
Now 1,500,000 Slashdotters will look down at me for not RTFA completely ...
Woooo hooooo! That's a first!
Or have there been any articles before this, of a similar nature?
