I work for a telephone directory publisher. A few years back, we were pushing a deadline and the man was not happy with the completeness of zip (postal) code info in the book. I purchased a new zip coding utility, ran it against the listings, and told the production dept to proceed with pagination, thinking that the army of proofreaders we have would notice any errors introduced by the new software.
I mean, what, I'm supposed to proofread the entire phone book by myself?
Anyway, the software used some kind of crazy soundex routine to "fix" addresses that it wasn't able to resolve, and thousands of people ended up with completely incorrect address information. The book went to press, was distributed, and a day later the phones were ringing off the hook. We had to pick up the old books, fix the data, schedule more press time (no easy feat), re-print, and re-distribute.
Total cost to correct was around $1M, got my ass chewed royally, but managed to keep my job anyway.
I beg to differ - the mount is very important also. Top-of-the-line optics won't do you much good if you can't aim the telescope because it's all attached to a shaky mount. The dob mount design itself is solid - just don't skimp on the materials used to build it.
Sincerely, a guy who recently bought a telescope with a shaky mount
I'll second that... I received the update notification yesterday, and I figured I'd have to go click a zillion "no" boxes to get everything straight again. I was pleasantly surprised to see that everything was still opted out. No complaints here!
offtopic, but related to your comment: I work for a local telco, and a while back, the president was giving us the annual vision shpiel. He mentioned that the local cable provider was going to roll out dialtone service in our area, and that "penetration by Cox" was something we had hoped to avoid.
It was all I could do to prevent busting out laughing, but nobody else seemed to catch it... sigh...
That's not so much a bug as it is the choice of the extension author. A well-packaged extension, such as the Googlebar, will give the user the choice of a system-wide install or a profile install. Why more of the extension authors don't do this is a mystery to me....
Astrobiologist Maggie Turnbull of the University of Arizona in Tuscon has taken a list of football teams most likely to win the next Super Bowl. The Carolina Panthers topped the list. The deciding factor? 'The Panthers, one of the newest teams in the NFL, came out on top because I like the kitty cat on their helmets.'
No, you haven't been trolled. Not by me, anyway. The text I quoted appears in the article as posted on/.... I R'd TFA a bit later and saw that the actual article didn't mention Moz!

The Problem: Rewrite Mania

Waaaaaaa!!
Case 1: IPv4 vs IPv6
Waaaaaaa!
Case 2: Apache 1.x vs Apache 2.x
Waaaaaaaaaa!
Case 3: Perl 5.x vs Perl 6
Waaaaaaaaa! Waaaaaaaaaaa!
Case 4: Embperl 1.x vs Embperl 2
Waaaaa!
Case 5: Netscape 4.x vs Mozilla
Waaaaaaaaa!
Case 6: HTML 4 vs XHTML + CSS + XML + XSL + XQuery + XPath + XLink +
XML is hard! My HTML for Dummies book weighs too much! Waaaaaaa!
Case 7: Windows 2000 vs Windows XP vs Server 2003
Waaaaaaaa!
Conclusion: In Defense of "good enough" and simplicity
Waaaaa waaaaaaaaa!
But I thought the Venera probe crashed in Wyoming?

Must be doing *something* right!
Not as slow as yesterday...

thanks for clearing that up!
Could this be the answer to problems with long-distance space travel?
That depends on how many squirrels you can pack onto the ship.
mod parent up - I was going to suggest the same thing!

pretty much! :-D

"PADCELL" should mean the kind of room provided for people like the person that started this thread.
From the Eric Deming of Belkin:
We don't have the ability to spam you at a later time if you select "No Thanks" or turn off the reminder manually.
Riiiiiiiiight. Not until the next router software update maybe.
But props to him for calling it what it is: spam.

IMO, in spite (or perhaps because?) of its simplicity, Samurai Jack is the most beautiful, spellbinding animated series on Cartoon Network.
Or any other network for that matter...
"Personally, I was hoping that the matirx and the humans were ALL the creation of an advanced AI program at MIT"
Why just hope, when you can contribute?
Why the hell is this "proposed"? It should just be - the law's in place, ATT is violating it, and they should pay the fine - end of story.
Jeezus, I'd love to have a "proposed" fine the next time I get a speeding ticket.
This was handy as I could turn it off for extended periods of time without it consuming battery power.
This been a key feature of battery powered devices for a while now.
Well, the button *did* say "Submit" ;-)
ye gads... sorry about that!

"....and regularly use it for running demanding applications like Apache, PostgreSQL and Mozilla."
That's kinda funny, lumping a web browser in the same category as server apps designed to handle gazillions of users.
Come on, it's not THAT bloated!
Holy shit.
Ethernet jacks built right into the wall, AND chairs that swivel?
History may remember you as a madman, but in my eyes, you sir, are a visionary.
