If you don't like the tie, get it caught in a laser printer fuser and claim it almost killed you (yank the cord before it squeezes your face, please). I think OSHA would have fun with that one.
That brings back memories. I once popped a case and found two mummified mice with their little mouths around the electrical wiring. I guess the air circulation and heat made for a quick dry-out. No stink, and the server was still running, so I put a couple of printed-out hieroglyphs inside for the next guy.
Epiphany: I never knew I had a food dehydrator! I think I'll go dry out some apples now.
I have the same problem, and we actually try to use one of the laptops that hasn't been checked out yet to top off the batteries. It's a pain in the ass, but at least the Latitudes have the LED battery indicator on the battery, and stop flashing the laptop power light when the tthings are charged.
It's one of the most damned expensive external chargers I've ever seen, though.
Actually, setting up a paypal account for donations could generate a signifigant revenue stream. $1US ain't much, but 2-3 million users chipping in a buck could lead to a large amount of play-money.
If seti's (or could ne) set up as a a non-profit, it's even tax deductible.
Oracle's licensing is by user, transaction, or CPU, depending on the licensee's scenario. It's still expensive, but at least it's up front.
If the RIAA public contacts got friendlier (read that as: hire sales personnel) and publicly disclosed a coherent licensing structure, then they could very well have another profit center. As a company, it's nothing but good business.
It really makes you wonder if the RIAA corporate location has chiba as office plants...

Personal flight has been around since the sixties, you just had to eat some sugar cubes and flap your arms.
It's pretty fast, and the disk tattoo feature is really neat. I paid $180 at CDW for it. The grey(blue/whatever)scale gradients are sufficient to get a lot of detail. The Nero software will automatically thottle down the speed if the media can't handle the burn rate you select. Useful feature, imo.
And yes, you can burn porn images. I have one disc burned with 7 boob pix around it that I plan to give to a friend and tell him it's a CD full of porn.;)
Get a $5 cheap kit, and make note as you go what tools you need, and aquire them. Jensen Tools is a good place to check out. Kind of pricey, but a pretty good selection of tools,. test equipment, etc.
eCorp is well positioned to effectively and intelligently take advantage of global opportunities by implementing and utilizing technology and communications for new market opportunities.
I can feel my IQ lowering with each word in that sentence.
I, personally, would rather make $40k a year and work 8 hours a day than make $85k a year and have NO life outside work.
But: Do the "no life" route for 2 years, and you would have $50K extra to buy some *very* nice toys. It's all a trade-off. I planned on doing this type of work for 4 years, but lucked out on a great contracting job and hit my goal in 3 years. One year from now, I'll be on my new sailboat heading to Hawaii.
Not that this current workplace will get you there. I had a similar situation 3 years ago. Y2K in the investment world was not the place to be, makes you pee blood.
If you can swing it, I'd just clean out my stuff and quit the same day. The owner has more at stake than you do, he can't walk away, that's why he's being a hard-ass. Go for some short-term contracting jobs. I did exactly that, and 3 years later am much better off both in health and wealth.
Pull off the sticker on any big-name vendors drives, and you'll find seagate/maxtor/ibm etc rebranded drives. A quick look in in one of my Sun A1000 arrays finds all the 36G drives to be Seagates.
And yes, I still pine for the days when I could hear the ST-225's ker-chunking away in my 8088.
First, I get to deal with HIPAA requirements in Windows platforms, now my Oracle/Sun platforms might be at risk.
I'll tell you this: the first time Sun manages to auto-install *anything* on any of my enterprise servers without my blessing, Sun will be explaining it to both our General Counsel and law enforcement. I don't believe an EULA will protect you from criminal prosecution.
Just bought a new 57" HDTV, the last piece of my home theatre system. I nabbed the LOTR DVD, popped it in, and saw that damned "formatted to fit your TV", and watched it in 4:3 instead of widescreen. Not a happy camper.
Luckily it was from Netflix so I didn't have to actually shell out money for bad product.
Today, SecurityFocus and Symantec announced that Symantec is acquiring SecurityFocus. Symantec sees real value in the services SecurityFocus provides to its customers and believes they are an excellent fit with their current offerings. We at SecurityFocus see this as an opportunity to provide even better services for the security community.
Symantec recognizes the value and uniqueness of the public services SecurityFocus provides to the community, such as the numerous mailing lists we host and the content we provide via the SecurityFocus Online web site.
In particular, Symantec and SecurityFocus want to ease any fears as to whether the character of this mailing list will change.
Frequently Asked Questions:
Q. What is the Symantec strategy for keeping data sources?
A. We believe it is critical to maintain the integrity of the existing
security community currently part of the SecurityFocus portal and
Bugtraq mailing list.
Q. What is Symantec's disclosure policy?
A. Symantec believes in responsible vulnerability disclosure and is active
in initiatives to set best practices in this area. Our first priority
is to help our customers protect their computing assets by providing
tools and information to safeguard their systems.
We will work with vendors, if we discover vulnerabilities in other
products, to report and investigate the issue in a thorough and timely
fashion, in the same way that Symantec will work with other security
researchers if they find an issue with any Symantec technology.
We observe a 30-day grace period after the notification of a security
advisory to give users an opportunity to apply the patch. During this
grace period, we provide our customers significant information about
the vulnerability and the fix, but not step-by-step instructions for
exploiting the vulnerability. We do not provide detailed exploit code
or provide samples of malicious code except to other trusted security
researchers and in a secured manner.
Q. Will Symantec change SecurityFocus' vulnerability reporting policy?
A. We believe that in order for the SecurityFocus/Bugtraq community to be
effective, it must be an independent entity. We believe that its
current disclosure policy is appropriate for the venue. Symantec will
continue to operate with its separate disclosure policy.

I had back problems from sitting in chairs for 8-12 hours as well. My doc told me "just get off my ass" and get some exercise, and that a comfy chair was just exacerbating the problem.
I took his advice, and bought a snowboard and kayak instead of a chair. I still have the same chair, and the back problems are gone.

Don't anally organize your stuff when you pack, except to throw out the cruft. Your goal is to move out of the place, not make a time capsule.
Organize when you *unpack*, then you'll know where everything really is.
I was implementing EDI 15-17 years ago.
Charge for the client :)

Ask Timothy Leary, he's still up there somewhere.
I just installed one of these drives last night.

Thanks for the heads-up!
Seeing the aurora for the first time is one of my happy thoughts.
Since I could probably crack that player open with my leatherman, does that make it a circumvention device under the DMCA?
And that is the scariest question of all.

Smile, happiness is mandatory.
Didn't George W.'s daddy say don't worry, be happy?
And to think that this server could have instead held the web pages that led to world peace.
The guys lighting and sniffing the plastic to sort it for recycling in asia will really appreciate it.
Jensen's 'Create-A-Kit" is kind of neat to see the selection of tools available to you.
Get a $5 cheap kit, and make note as you go what tools you need, and aquire them. Jensen Tools is a good place to check out. Kind of pricey, but a pretty good selection of tools,. test equipment, etc.
