I respectfully disagree. Being intelligent is not disadvantageous to job performance any more than sex or ethnicity is. It would be fair enough to say "You're smart, but you have no people skills - therefore you aren't suitable" but that isn't the case here.
As in your taxi example: The professional race driver might not be suitable for the job, but you wouldn't turn him down because he's a really good driver, you'd turn him down because he drives too fast, or is a bastard to his customers.
It would be acceptable to refuse to hire someone despite their intelleigence, but not because of it.
Judge Dorsey ruled that Mr. Jordan was not denied equal protection because the city of New London applied the same standard to everyone: anyone who scored too high was rejected.
Because this statement makes just as much sense:

It's not a perfect solution no, and I wish we could use synaptic or the like, but it does the job fairly well and isn't too intrusive - generally updates happen in the background for most things. (And all the apple stuff of course uses its central updater).
I've got a 2 year old MacBook Pro, and it plays High Def trailers absolutely fine (as an aside: Star Trek looks like it'll be an incredibly pretty film).
For new apps, download, drag into apps folder. If it's more complex it might have an installer.
For updates, there's usually a command in the program to check for updates, or you simply download the new version.
In general I loved the movie, excellent soundtrack, almost as good as the graphic novel.
3 Issues However:
1: Where was my squid
2: Because of the lack of squid, the comedian's finding out of Ozzys plan didn't work too well, it's not as clear as it is in the novel how he found out about it.
3: I felt Ozzy could have been fleshed out a lot more - they showed very little of his backstory or motivations.
Yes, we are rock nerds. And we like it that way.
If you want to go on a website to mock nerds for something you're not interested in... well, you've certainly come to the wrong place.
The parent is entirely right about linux, mass installing it on every computer in your institution is the dumbest thing you could possibly do.
However, sticking firefox and openoffice (possibly in addition to MS Office) on every machine is a great idea, and encouraging departments to save money by looking at free alternatives is also good (eg, Open Source GIS or the like).
You can't transition to entirely open source over night, but you can make improvements by using the projects which are useful, and superior to their close source counterparts.
My university's pretty good on this front: MS Office and OpenOffice on most machines, firefox as the browser, almost all documents are distributed as pdf files. It's great - students have the choice to use whatever they want.
Slashdot Mirror
technically not theft at that point though...
You couldn't pay me to watch Hostel 2. That's the difference. LoTR 3 was worth going to see multiple times, crappy 'horror' movies aren't.
In that situation I'd have jumped off the boat and swum to safety. I don't know why none of them thought of that.

That would explain the big white space in thunderbird.
I don't really understand this, there wasn't really all that much wang in the movie. And for the most part I was watching his face.
I hear there're some new firefox themes out this week ;)
No, they don't.

That judge needs a new job fast.
Uh oh, they've changed something.
I have wanted that skateboard since the day I first opened that book...

That's always been my stance on the issue. Has Morissette ever confirmed that?

Is GPs iPhone Jailbroken?

You don't, as long as you don't install office.
Pretty much all the problems to date have been the result of office components being compromised.
Yes, because I know how bad my mum is at spelling - the misspelling of mortgage is a dead give away that it's her.
2.2 years from the perspective of the travelers - due to time dilation. Wouldn't actually be faster than the speed of light.
Actually, my university uses these guys: http://www.messagingarchitects.com/en/clients/ Which is supposedly linux based.

My uni uses Moodle too, from a student POV it's a great system.
