FYI, I believe this is exactly where the term "engineer" started.
I think engineer and engine have similar etymological roots, but engineer is older than its use to refer to railroad engines. In French engineer is "ingenieur" which illustrates the derivation.
According to Novell, they plan to offer the services from Netware such as eDirectory (or whatever it's called this week), file and print services, on both the Netware kernel and the Linux kernel. Shops with Netware expertise will still be able to continue to run Netware, or carry that expertise with the Netware services to Linux. How long the Netware kernel will continue to be offered is a matter of conjecture.

I agree that ads are the #1 reason I barely watch over the air TV any more, except for PBS
However, I won't buy the DVDs either (if the legal situation gets such that I can't get it safely, I'll just do without).
I'd much rather give it to PBS (which doesn't waste the better half of the budget on advertising)
...(I'll be receptive, once I get a job) or go ask the government for direct subsidies (I'm supportive of expanding subsidies for the arts, though only for artists and PBS-like organizations and not for corporations)
So, if I understand you correctly, you won't watch ad-supported broadcast TV because it offends your "moral code", and you won't buy DVDs of those programs because you can't afford them. If you could afford them, you'd rather give the money to PBS "which doesn't waste the better half of the budget on advertising".
Here are some clues for you, since you don't seem to have one:
Broadcast TV is free because it is supported by ads, and "doesn't waste the better half of the budget on advertising" - their budget is derived from advertising, not spent on it.
PBS doesn't have as many ads because it is supported by donations, some of whom are corporations represented by the ads between programs. Many donors are viewers, and surprise, surprise - you aren't one. Why aren't you complaining about the pledge drives?
So while you aren't contributing, government subsidies for the arts that you enjoy are OK? I'm guessing if you're a student you don't pay a lot of income tax, but others do.
Download away, but don't be pious about your reasons for doing so. Not being able to afford DVDs is not a valid reason for refusing to watch broadcast TV and downloading instead. You acknlowledge this by saying "if the legal situation gets such that I can't get it safely".
Obligatory paraphrase: "moral code" - I do not think these words mean what you think they mean.
This may seem like a nitpick, but it's not when you're manipulating it in your pocket. That must look real good when you're standing in line or on a bus... "Honest, I'm just fast forwarding a bit"
...delete MS Office and replace it with Wordperfect Office
I don't think you mean WordPerfect Office - that went from WordPerfect to Novell (1994) to Corel (1996) where it remains (although Corel itself has been acquired by Vector Capital). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WordPerfect
I think it would be interesting to create a 3D plot of the threat space using the metrics from the article as axes. Comparing the shape and size might be enlightening.

If it is an older valve, you may have to do what is called repacking it. Packing is the material that surrounds the shaft of the valve and prevents water from seeping up around the shaft, and when it needs to be replaced it causes exactly they symptoms you have described. Teflon tape around the packing nut won't help if this is the problem. Instructions are on the evil site: Packing a valve
If it's a newer valve, the cartridge needs to be replaced when it starts to leak around the shaft.
Luckily you can clean yourself up while being compliant to the standard!
In some countries (e.g., Germany) even many brands of toilet paper have format A6.
And further down: readers fascinated by the idea of Central Europeans using A6 as a toilet paper size might also be interested to hear that the U.S. have for the same application field a standard square format of 4.5×4.5 in = 114×114 mm, which is for instance documented in New Jersey Specification No. 7572-01 (May 1997), section 2.3.

That's my pet peeve with the music and movie (and to some extent proprietary software) industries. What am I paying for when I buy a CD or DVD? If it is a license to their intellectual property, then I darn well have the right to copy and use it anyway I like, including downloading digital copies of vinyl originals. If it's the physical media with a particular series of bits, then it should come with a warranty and I should be able to copy it - if I buy a car and machine the parts to create an exact replica, Chevy can't come after me for that. If it's both, then they should replace the media for a nominal fee if it is damaged, since I have already paid for the intellectual property component.
That taught the terrorists exactly the wrong lesson Didn't Clinton fire a few cruise missiles into Afghanistan trying to get Bin Laden and into Sudan for reprisal of the embassy bombing (may have been misguided, but not neglectful)? What exactly did the current president do before 9/11, even after warnings from the Clinton administration? Isn't that why you have a committee looking into the whole thing?
Education is a provincial responsibility, so it varies by province. Ontario used to fund through local property taxes, but has changed to province-wide per capita funding from general revenues, in part because of the inequities you mention. Prior to this, some boards in wealthy areas had built themselves admin complexes with fountains and waterfalls. Some inequities do remain: the funding formula doesn't take into account specific regional requirements, at least not adequately. For example, I live in Northern Ontario and heating costs are much higher than in the southern part of the province, but this isn't addressed in the funding formula (to my knowledge).
While income taxes sound higher than in the US, they can be much reduced by investing in a retirement savings plan, and the cost of living is much lower. I won't ask what your condo was worth, but mortgage payments on a starter home in many smaller cities wouldn't be much more than you were paying in taxes.

Yeah, and no "e". Nice job.
You're welcome. My wife is very thankful I can't walk to a Lee Valley - closest one is an 8 hour drive (Thunder Bay to Winnipeg).
Not only ship to Canada, they are Canadian and very good to deal with.

You may want to tweak this joke a little. You know a cockroach is an insect, right? How many legs does an insect have?
I'd be surprised if this guy doesn't end up featured on another web-site soon.

No, but we can smell you...
Time for an intervention, or maybe an apostrophe key.

If you're relying on a CD or DVD to keep your stuff forever, I hope you're following these guidelines for "Prolonging CD-ROM's Life Expectancy".
...unlike corn and so forth, which is where that Canadian case came from
That case actually involved canola, and canola pollen is heavy and not normally carried long distances by wind. However, according to the farmer who lost that case, the judged ruled that it didn't matter how the GM plants ended up in the field. See here for an account in his own words.
whose life is 1) so exciting that video clips are required for full appreciation
Paris Hilton's and Pamela Anderson's, apparently, to name two.
"shareholder derivative" suit (google for more info), which is kind of a class action
Shareholders already had a class action against Nortel and some of its current and former executives, and this morning I heard on CBC radio that one is now being brought against members of the board (it doesn't seem to have made the web site yet).
This may seem like a nitpick, but it's not when you're manipulating it in your pocket.

Oddly enough, according to Netcraft that server is running on Windows 2000. I guess they couldn't afford that Linux license after all.
