The worst Linux annoyance I've run into is the Linux Zealot. The only answer you ever get from them is "You wouldn't have this type of problem if you ran Linux."
They of course provide no help in solving problems you run into when using Linux, because the system is perfect and any problems you have are obviously user induced.
Get as much money as you can up front. Cash, not stock, because you have no idea if the company buying you out will be in business next year. Also, if at all possible, negotiate for royalties on the IP you're giving up in the event they decide to lay you and your friends off next week.
Doesn't the Unix su command qualify as prior art? That's about the fastest way to switch users I've found, at least when you need to log in with a password.
It seems that everything we do will eventually destroy the environment. So what next? Should we just sit on our asses in hope that our inaction will have less of an environmental impact? Or should we finally acknowledge that all creatures influence the environment, and that we are as much a part of Earth's ecology as anything else.
If you're going to throw that out, would you care to explain to those of us who aren't quantum mechanics experts what Lamarck's theorum is, you stupid socially inept person.
Is anyone else watching Sci-fi tonight? They're rerunning the SG-1 episode where they open a gate to a planet that is falling into a black-hole. Needless to say, mayhem ensues. I think we need to make the guys who've proposed it watch that episode about 50 times.
Does anyone else find this scary? I don't really like the idea of having a tracking device (or any other) implanted in my body. Unless it has an off switch that I can control, it will be implanted into my dead body.
On a slightly related note, each 1/8 piece of the spanish dollar was referred to as a bit. Of course, this lead to the computer term, and that stupid cheer that every school has.
I'd agree with this comment. With DSL, you'd basically need to set up a telephone switching office on sight. As an alternative, you can set up an all ethernet system where everything is connected via router to the T1 line, or you can set up several wireless access points and hook them up to the same router, and save a lot of trouble running a CAT5 cable to every unit.
Yeah, but I live in Austin, and the only real-estate changing hands right now are those units reverting to the bank due to foreclosure. I couldn't sell this place right now if I wanted too.
Banks? I don't remember Arizona having any statute limiting your carry at the bank. In Texas, you can carry into a bank as long as it's concealed, and you have a concealed handgun license.
Neither major party is going to protect your rights. They exist solely to gather power to themselves, and to exert that power over the citizens of this country. The only difference are the issues used to establish their power base. Only the Libertarian party seeeks to limit the power of government in order to promote the benefits of liberty.
Well, I hate to admit it, but I nearly hit the ceiling when I saw this one, before I remembered it was the 1st of April. I guess he wants the extra time to work on King Kong.
In this case, going from the diagrams, you should be able to crack the overclock detect circuit by changing frequency of the 33 KHz crystal they use as the counter reset signal. Reducing the period of this oscillator will allow a higher frequency to be passed in.

It's a brilliant move. It means they won't get stuck with the 100,000+ cds in inventory which no one will ever buy.

I asked my cat if he minded, but all he said was "meow".

Whoever said that never saw the price on convention merchandise.
It's more like comparitive religion--from the point of view that these religions hate each other.
Where'd I put the damn seashell!? I need it to unlock the project I've been working on for the last year!
You don't have to commit suicide to use one of these. It should make a good weapon for a less dedicated terrorist.

Now will somebody please hire me? I'm running out of money to make house payments.

Okay, even the google cache of this page has disappeared. Do you think the site will ever be seen again?
These two need to settle this like men. They should duke it out in a sword fight to the death at the next Texas Renaissance Fair.

The new "spice" will be sold in high flow shakers, becasue (everybody now) "The spice must flow"

Oh come on! You can't have a season cliffhanger at the end of a series!
