From what I've read in the past, game consoles are pretty much always sold at a loss and the company makes their money licensing the boot loader to game makers.
Even if the US did negotiate with the Taliban, they did not offer to give Bin Laden to the US. They offered to turn him over to a neutral country. So, all that would do is draw our fire away from Afghanistan.
Heh, it isn't even a point release. It is a "Service Pack". IE 5.5 supports it, so does IE 5.5 sp1. Just not IE 5.5 sp2. It's crazy. If they are so afraid of violating the patent, why don't they also remove support for the tag?
Here's what I did to get around @Home blocking port 80. I used register.com to get my domain name and they offer a service to host 3 web pages for you for free. So I set my Apache server to listen on port 81 and added some javascript on the page on the hosting service to redirect to my machine on port 81. Works like a charm.
What I did is just gave Yahoo my Hotmail account (which I never check) as my primary email account. That way all the Yahoo spam goes to Hotmail and I get POP3 access.
Another interesting twist on this is what about open source languages like Perl? There is a port of Perl to.NET, but will we be able to legally use it if they add in their "no open source" clause to the licensing agreement?;)
One benefit that hasn't been mentioned is cost. While I may never make modifications to the source of the GIMP, I also will never fork out $500 (or whatever the cost is) for Adobe Photoshop. So I can use the GIMP instead of pirating a copy of Photoshop (come on, how many of you occasional Photoshop users actually paid for it yourselves???) So, I don't need the source, but since it is open source, I can "afford" to use it!
HR directors really don't get any blame when someone "dorks" a server. At any company that I have interviewed with, the HR people didn't do the technical portion of the interview. That is left to the manager/peers in the department that is hiring.
FYI...
QWERTY was not meant to slow anyone down. The first typewriters had arms that struck the paper to print the letters. When the keys were arranged alphabetically, so were the arms and they kept getting jammed because commonly used letters were close to each other. So they devised a new layout that separated the commonly used letters to stop the arms from getting jammed up so much. Wish I could remember where I read this, so I could point people in that direction, but I can't, so you'll just have to take my word for it!
I think you are wrong about WinNT 64 being "nowhere in sight." I saw it running in July at the Microsoft Professional Developers Conference. It may not be ready for release, but it looked like it was at least beta quality. They should have no problem getting it released by the time Itanium ships.
Sure, it might be more economical for those people who charge by the hour for their services to just go buy one... But this little project looks like it would be fun to do!
I think the key here is that you have worked with "Special Ops people". The individuals that qualify for those types of groups are the best of what the armed forces has to offer. Most of the guys I went through boot camp with (USMC) probably wouldn't fall into this category.

Are you sure? Every spec sheet I pull up says:
64 bit superscalar processor
Now that doesn't necessarily mean it is a MIPS, but it implies that it is not an x86.
Too bad that Network Associates has now stopped development of Gauntlet for BSD/OS. I believe there is supposed to be one more release. They seem to be concentrating on Solaris and NT. We are on Gaunlet 4.2 at work and we're looking for something else. Maybe a home grown OpenBSD firewall...
You don't check by using the.com or.org, etc. You check the IP address and what company or organization it belongs to. You can look up IP address registration at rs.arin.net. It may not be foolproof, but it would at least show a reasonable effort on the part of the network.
When you say "they" removed any AT&T "tainted" bits, which they do you mean? The original BSD people, or the FreeBSD people. I think the original BSD people removed all the AT&T stuff so they could release the source in the first place. I could be wrong though.
Now is the little devil guy the mascot for FreeBSD specifically, or for all BSDs in general? I notice a slight "devil theme" throughout all the BSDs, including BSD/OS from BSDi. Would it be inappropriate to put one of those little devil stickers on an OpenBSD box?!?!?
I would say FreeBSD is best for a beginner. The install process is VERY much easier than OpenBSD. It took me a few times to get through the OpenBSD partitioning software. Not very intuitive at all, but once you get used to it, its not too bad. Beyond that, the OS itself is not much different to use than FreeBSD (or even Linux or another Unix really). I have been running OpenBSD on x86 and Sparc for about a month now and am really enjoying it. I plan on setting up a firewall for a business with OpenBSD in the next few weeks. I like the fact that the default install doesn't install so much crap, like certain Linux distros. I really wish someone would create a Linux distro that had similar functionality of OpenBSD. Is there one?
This thing is close: QBE. I think this site requires Flash to view, but it is pretty cool.
It is rather expensive and does not have built in wireless connectivity, but it is close. Hell, for using it in the bathroom, I'd settle for a 40-50 ft. Ethernet cable! That's what I do with my laptop when I want to surf from the couch! Or, you could add an AirCard and GoAmerica Service for wireless.

I would guess that maybe someone had replaced the strap???
kinda like when you get on a plane now!

Is any software 100% bullet-proof? I think not... Give the guy a break!

Yeah, I think what Intel bought from DEC was their ARM manufacturing division.

I knew that, damn, why didn't I type it!
tun0 and tun1 are "tunneling" interfaces. For using VPN. Similar to ppp0 and ppp1.
