I wonder if the arcade attendants will need to get MCSE certification...
Speak for yourself. I can't wait for the sit-down, wraparound-sound, motion-simulator versions of Minesweeper and Solitaire to be out. They'll rock the standup version in no time flat!
Not only do we kill the Linux Counter when it is only 7 years old, now we violate Progeny's remains by/.'ing its obituary. What's next? Misspelling the name of a major character from a classic work of fantasy in an online poll?
They have to define what they mean by "served" first. Does it mean that x number of consumers paid for and received a somewhat edible substance grudging provided at their stores, or that n number of people were served hot food fast, by friendly, courteous McDonald's employees?
There has to be several orders of magnitude between x and n.
For that matter, if you're splurging, why get a DDS drive? Go for a DLT-IV or AIT-2 drive instead. Sure, the cost is going to be 2-3 times that of a DDS4 drive, but capacity and performance make it worth it. (Our AIT-1 drive at the $ORK_PLACE is ver, very nice.) A person that buys 3 GB of RAM (and a motherboard that can address it) for a desktop PC and multiple Ultra-160 SCSI drives shouldn't stick at an extra thousand for a much better backup drive.
Microsoft exec said yesterday that the hugely successful worm attacks were due to 'tardy' sysadmins.
So the admins responsible for Windows Update are considered 'tards by Microsoft? After all, windowsupdate.microsoft.com was reportedly "hacked by Chinese" this summer.
We have a couple of Linux boxes running now on the back end. Our firewall is running kernel 2.4.x to get the improvements netfilter brings. gShield is a great tool for firewall control. Don't edit the config files with Notepad or Wordpad, though.
We have a dedicated PC at our hosting company, a RAQ4 w/Apache.
On the desktop, we are stuck with MS. Most of the software we use for our business, (insurance) is provided as part of our contracts with the insurance companies. We don't rate and quote insurance with the software they provide, they don't do business with us. We are stuck for the moment. In the future, though, we may be able to make some changes. Many of hte companies we do business with are moving to "web" apps, or Metaframe/Terminal Server scenarios.
I think you left off the "B". Mozilla introduced the tag, IIRC, and has supported it for years.
From The Book of Mozilla, 12:10:
And the beast shall come forth surrounded by a roiling cloud of vengeance. The house of the unbelievers shall be razed and they shall be scorched to the earth. Their tags shall blink until the end of days.
developing and promoting the TRON open architecture
Neat! Does this mean I'll finally be able to get a lightcycle and one of those ass-kicking frisbees? Or is TRON not that far along? (I'd also like a Recognizer, BTW)
The Oracle ID card would have an initial cost of $100,000 and require a fulltime DBA to administer.
It would also require 2387 separate patches upon receipt of the card, BEFORE it is placed in your wallet to keep it from spontaneously collapsing in upon itself on first use.
Also, that $100,000 is per pocket in your wallet: 2 bill pockets and 8 card pockets such as my wallet has would cost $1,000,000 up front.

does having ones hair set on fire represent a good thing?
Seemed to work for Pepsi. Or was it Coca-Cola? Go ask Michael Jackson to find out for sure.
Just don't forget to shellack it to keep down the smell.
Was this the "Edsel" of the Internet age or what!
Or possibly the Avanti or the Torpedo.
combating privacy
Seems a bit overdone. You can combat privacy with a good camera, and a willingness to peep into your neighbors windows.

Probably JonKatz's drive he sent for repair a few weeks back, full of Britney Spears and N'Sync MP3's.
RMS was then heard to say, "If this doesn't work, we'll get on the 'Net, and take the last kernel out of 2.4.

Me Too!
Well, per MB DLT and AIT are not that much more than DDS. Each tape holds more than a DDS tape, and the price is higher.
For that matter, if you're splurging, why get a DDS drive? Go for a DLT-IV or AIT-2 drive instead. Sure, the cost is going to be 2-3 times that of a DDS4 drive, but capacity and performance make it worth it. (Our AIT-1 drive at the $ORK_PLACE is ver, very nice.)

Hmmm. You left out USENET and the Internet. They've been dying for years.

Too bad "Infinite Justice" is likely to make it illegal to use all that memory and speed.
Aren't you Locke's sister, helping him write his works?
And, on the plus side, the remote control/mouse has multiple buttons, so it meets Taco's Number 1 criterion.
Locke wrote the book, but I want to hear Demosthenes take on the book and subject before I buy it.
Then stick a big hook in him, and he'll catch a B-52.
Wouldn't a laden slug be a snail?
