The difference in costuming was alluded to in an episode of DS9, in which several crew members travel back in time to perform a mission right under the noses of the crew of the Enterprise, during the episode "The Trouble With Tribbles." When asked what happened to Klingons to so radically change their appearance, Worf responds, "We do not discuss it with outsiders."
Being the guy in my family who gets these calls, I'll respond on the other guy's behalf: pretty much the last thing in the world I would want is for my grandmother to receive support from her "blue-haired buddies." The second to last thing I want is for her to give support to them.
With respect to your travails, I've done metric ass-tons of Debian installs using the net-install floppies. A signifigant number of these (I'd guess half) used the Intel 10/100 drivers. I've had only the mildest of problems with them, mostly periodic "card reports no resources" kernel messages.
CD writers, on the other hand - dunno. You're on your own there.
(iv) by using the domain name, you have intentionally attempted to attract, for commercial gain, Internet users to your web site or other on-line location, by creating a likelihood of confusion with the complainant's mark as to the source, sponsorship, affiliation, or endorsement of your web site or location or of a product or service on your web site or location.
I keep seeing posts which run along the lines of, "Why give it back to them? Just take it and make 'em pay through the nose!"
Stupid, dumb, dumb, dumb. On the one hand, Microsoft has more lawyers than God. For another, it's just wrong to register a name with the express intention of screwing someone else. And lastly, it's definied by ICANN as registering a domain in bad faith.
b. Evidence of Registration and Use in Bad Faith. For the purposes of Paragraph 4(a)(iii), the following circumstances, in particular but without limitation, if found by the Panel to be present, shall be evidence of the registration and use of a domain name in bad faith: (i) circumstances indicating that you have registered or you have acquired the domain name primarily for the purpose of selling, renting, or otherwise transferring the domain name registration to the complainant who is the owner of the trademark or service mark or to a competitor of that complainant, for valuable consideration in excess of your documented out-of-pocket costs directly related to the domain name...
I agree. As an employee of a state-run university, I can attest that I'm elligible for a 10% discount off the purchase price of one of the dual 2GHZ G5s. (Originally $2999, discounted to $2699).
That VT wasn't able - or didn't think - to do the same is pretty shocking. A savings of $330,000 isn't anything to sneeze at.
I've didn't see anyone calling Clinton a murdering terrorist when he sent cruise missles into Iraq after the inspectors were kicked out.
Ah, how soon we forget. The weapons inspectors weren't kicked out. They were withdrawn by Richard Butler at the order of the UN, specifically because the attack was forthcoming.
The explanation for the reasoning behind the missle strikes can be found here.
My advice: wait. Apple is trying to get new versions of the G5s released in a couple months, including a dual 2.4 GHz model, and eventually a dual 3.0. When that happens, expect retailers to drop the cost of the dual 2.0 model signifigantly.
(I don't often advise waiting to purchase a computer because "something better is just around the corner," since this is IT we're talking about, and that's always the case. But reviews I've read place the power/performance ratio for the top of the line G5 at higher than its little brothers, a distinction usually reserved for one of the cheaper models. So here, it seems worthwhile to bide your time.)
While, technically, they remain virgins, they still indulge in pleasures of the flesh, without the stress and responsibility involved in full intercourse. Now what percentage of these are receiving it from women, is a statistic I don't know if we want to address. Lets just say.. umm.. Do we consider Mac OS X programmers to be UNIX programmers?
Speaking as a fledgling OS X programmer, I can say that I strongly support receiving blowjobs while writing code. Therefore, I would argue that OS X programmers are UNIX programmers.
Look, pal, Foobie Bletch Pro is a great piece of software. If you have nothing better to do than take potshots at the nice folks at Foobie Bletch Inc, I suggest you get a hobby - maybe a download of Bletch 5.7 would be a good idea?
The spoofed messages always appeared to be coming from someone named "Pissed Off Phan," with a return address matching a staff writer for the Philadelphia Inquirer.
I sincerely wish I'd saved the text of some of them. The were uniformly well written, however, devoid of the usual spelling mistakes you come to expect in unsolicited e-mail. Of course, the author was motivated not by greed, but by vitriol: the only thing which separated his message from a bona-fide editorial was his pathological hatred of Larry Bowa. In fact, I came close to firing off an angry e-mail to the folks at philly.com before thinking to check the full headers.
Steve Jobs, if he had any sense, would be marketing these machines as workstations instead of mere personal computers.
A dumb move. Apple already markets their stuff towards professionals who need the beefiness of a workstation-quality platform. To overemphasize the workstation market would require that they cease to market the new boxes as consumer level computers.
OS aside, the only real difference between a workstation and a personal computer is the price tag and power. At just over $4K for the configuration tested in the review, you're talking about a lot of money for a PC. But the people who only need a box for home know that they can shop near the lower end of the scale, and the ones who are doing serious work know what they're getting at the top end.
I tend to be pretty snobby about the pens I buy, which is a shame, because I lose an assload of them. With that in mind:
The Pilot Razor Point is cheap enough to be bought in quantity, and has a hard plastic nib a little like a fountain pen. It has a nice scratchy feel to it.
The Cross Ion is considerably more expensive. It'll run you about $20 for a pen if you buy it at Staples or an equivalent store. It's also not that fun to write with, honestly - too small, hard plastic with edges in the wrong places. However, the pen telescopes shut and has a small ring-clip for attaching it to your keys, or the inside of a 3-ring binder.
Apple have appeared, without payment or request, in thousands of productions.
Right. That's why they have their own staff and budget specifically for product placement. She gets an occasional assist from the Tooth Fairy.
Take the show Felicity. In one episode, a character waxes rhapsodic about his new iMac (back in the day when they came in flavors and didnt' look like table lamps. Shortly thereafter, he drops it, and it makes the kind of horrible echoing thwack anyone who has ever dropped an expensive piece of equipment knows so well. Not to worry, though: his friend knows someone who can fix it, and he's assured that he's an Apple Certified Technician!
The first appearance of the Mac was merely annoying: the second, with the technican reference, was nauseating. I vowed that day never to by a Mac.*

I don't think I'm saying what you think I'm saying.
What I was responding to was this:
It's so funny when people get carried away by the expertise they possess in aparticular area, and think they can apply it for an another -especially, when they speak on behalf of their employer
My point is that Geer was qualified to speak on security issues, not that he was speaking on behalf of his employer.
4) In the paper, Geer identifies himself as the Chief Technical Officer of @Stake. Kindly explain how being the CTO of a computer security company fails to qualify one to speak about computer security.
For god's sake, I did Venn diagrams in junior high, and I wasn't a math geek. And he's not a "spokesperson" he is, or rather was, the Chief Technical Officer for @Stake.
Firing your CTO for using an eighth-grade math term is like firing your doctor because he insists on using technical words like "prescription" and "stethoscope."
Also, if you're looking for GUI goodness, there's a front end available for TinyFugue called Crescendo. Their main site is "closed for maintenance" (read - dead), but last time I tried the app worked pretty well.
...I was sure that the story was about the Tamagotchi method, and was wondering out little digital "pets" could possibly help ad return rates.
Then it hit me - what if all those little digital pets were WiFi enabled, and talking to each other? "Beep! Feed me! Beep! Go by a Ronco Turnip Twaddler!" Scary.

We still make jokes out of the bad acid trip that Sid & Marty Kroft must have been on around the time they greenlit Land of the Lost.

No.
My wife does. Every time she gets out of the shower, in fact. Claims it works better than her hair dryer.

The advisory you link affects Windows 2000. Windows XP and its derivatives are listed as "unaffected."
Do you have a similar advisory for XP?
Oh, yeah, because that hasn't been considered.
Stupid, dumb, dumb, dumb. On the one hand, Microsoft has more lawyers than God. For another, it's just wrong to register a name with the express intention of screwing someone else. And lastly, it's definied by ICANN as registering a domain in bad faith.
And now you know.

The frequency used by wifi networks is bad for you? And I've been sitting here on my 802.11b network with my laptop.
Like, in my lap.
I'm never having kids, dude. The boys have had it.
