In Germany (from what I heard) the gov requiers people to take a 6 week vacation. I recived a job offer from a German company and took it - 6 week vacation, company BMW (with paid 1000km a month for private use) med and dental.
The downside to all this - I was taxed 55%. I quit after a year becouse I was working for a tax, it was so depressing looking at your statment and seeing all that money go away.
So the moral of the story, in the end you pay for that vacation with your taxes!
Microsoft wants people to get hooked on the software, make a name so when to do get in the position to recomend software for an organization they will recomend what they know and that will be MS.
And in Ukrane every CD is $2, be it porn or Windows XP Pro. Office XP Pro will be $8 for the 4 cd's. And if you want to know, wives cost $2000 and it includes lawyer fees and papers to get her in the US. I know becouse they have big ads at the airport.
"3D games push the graphics processing unit harder than any other application. And of these 3D games, Quake performance has come to be the benchmark against which all graphics processors are measured. So you'll be pleased to hear that when playing the Quake III Arena version 1.30, in millions of colors, at 1024x768 resolution, the 800MHz PowerBook G4 blazes away at a scorching 68 frames per second.*
My Thinkpad 600 is loud too. I replaced the original 6GB with a 12 and for about 2-3 months it was a quiet laptop, but now it's loud again and have to put in into sleep mode all the time.
Don't forget when your doing your documetation on your system you can just print your config file, and not have to take screenshots of every window and put them in powerpoint slides.
"Yha, click here, no it's under the 3rd tab... no... wait it's here"
I have a Lian Li case with two fans in front of my HD going at full. So far I had two drives fail, and IBM 40gb and a WD 60gb, I had both RMA'ed but I'm hearing my repaced 60gb making funny click again:(
I was at a German company that had a few (10 or so) NT 4 servers. They all had a script that was schedualed to reboot at night everyday. And they were running terminal server on them too!
Enigma is more famouse for being the German code machine during WWII. Germans thought is was unbreakable. Story goes that a group of Poles stole the machine and gave it to the Brits, they figured out how to use it and crack the German communitaction.

You also have to understand the Eastern European mentality. Do it once and call it quits.
Look at the Russian Space shuttle, or notice that the worlds largest aircraft is Russian, but has flown very few times (the US C5's are flying daily) Or how about the Russian Concorde. I heard the story that they made 3, put people on the test flights and they crashed, the 3rd they kept. I don't think that story is true, but it just shows you the mentality. BTW, they have an original in a German museum.
I could have sworn that people were playing the xbox at CeBIT... should have taken a picture. And why would CeBIT care? That's the point of the show, to demo your products! Hell, I should file a complaint that MS had the Compaq ipaqs all on display and people were using them. How is this any different?
A lot of places, moslty the Goverment, know MS only. When my old boss found out I was 19 she laught at me and asked my, "What do you about NT kid?" I said, "Well, I have the MSCE..." No one in that organization had the MCP. She hired me two weeks later.

Same here, I had a BMW 318i Compact. I think it had a 1.8l engine and I drove it around at 120MPH everyday to work (at 6,000 RPMs)

All this in 6 months time.
I can also hear my geforce fan dying too
Apple is the BMW of the computer world.
Funny you say that, I've always said BMWs are Microsoft cars, look nice run great but after a year are useless. And yes I had a new BMW for a year.
Also the new BMW 7 series run Windows CE for the idrive system.

Sounds like a half-ass solution to me.

A. Samba
B. NFS
C. bla

The 'correct' answer is B, but every other admin will tell you A.
