Heck, if you're into the stationary bike, stairmaster, etc, take it with you! O'Reilly's bindings are the best, the book can lay fairly flat with breaking its back. Get one of those copy holder attachments that most of that type of excercise equipment comes with, and let the info soak in while you sweat.

I don't get the joke. Tripod has something to do with the doughboy?
If the computer costs $15 to make, people are not going to be spending $80-$100 to put Windows Whatever on it.
True, but isn't Whislter being positioned to be the replacement for Win9x and NT? By the time this process is ready for mass market, MS will probably be trying to shove Whistler down everyones throats. Since it is next in line after the current NT releases, it's a good bet that it will cost as much or more than Win2000, which the Professional version has an MSRP of almost $400. Of course, if people are that in love with Wondows, they'll buy it, but the ones on the fence will most likely gravitate to some thing more affordable.
I am in the process of reviewing other fax products. RightFAX and VSI are at the top of my list right now. As a bonus, VSI will run on Linux, which I would prefer over NT.
You can run up the tab on the shit that ends in your snail-mail box, if you don't mind some physical effort. Since it's bulk charged, the USPS doesn't postmark it. Take any or all inbound junk snail-mail, and drop it in the nearest corner box. It'll show up in your mailbox again in a few days, having been charged again to the jerk who sent it. If you don't mind having snowdrifts of this shit in your mail box, run up their mailing charges!
I usually only do this with a couple items of junk mail at a time. I prefer not to have drifts of this shit crammed into my box;-)
Optus FACSys for NT. Don't touch them with any length of pole. They are fuckwads of the highest degree. Their product is absolutely unsupported, they refuse to answer any question directly and refuse to answer questions asked by their authorised resellers. Their driver crash every few weeks, their server spits out error codes that can't be found in docs, or in their tech notes. Their "Exchange Connector" refuses to pass NDRs, and loses faxes every so often. FACSys is a piece of shit. DO NOT BUY IT.
How about a print-off of the I Love You Virus? It's several pages long.
(OT sidenote) Some of our lusers ran I Love You, and had fax numbers in their address books, so our fax server got 60+ faxes to various people consisting of I Love You, and sent the code as text, 7-8 pages of it. Funny as hell.
Really? They can't pick up a shovel? Flip burgers? Sit at the "Take a Number" desk at the DMV and refuse to open their mouths no matter what? There are a lot of jobs out there, and although not glamourous, are certainly better than being a telemarketer.
There's a reason telemarketers are trained NOT to give out their last name.
It does, but I have it disabled. The site did whine about my not seeing all the point-and-drool crap, but it didn't refuse entry into the site, which was my point. Although, in reading my post, I guess I could have been clearer.
Suddenly, you are confronted by a greasy Troll, screaming enthusiastically, if a bit incoherently, about Natalie Portman pouring hot grits down someones pants, and wielding a large, tranluscent blue computer mouse with only one button.
Every sysadmin knows that script-kiddies will crack their way in through a hidden backdoor/bug/hole/feature when it's 1337 to do so. Look at the various Microsoft products in the nearest Bugtraq digest and the threads proliferating about them.
Blackbeard had other deterrents to those who
knew his secrets, and might be tempted to steal
'is loot. Your basic shooting, stabbing, beating,
keelhaulling, or walking the gang plank all have
their place.

If this is the kind of thing your interested in, definately spin for a copy.
I spun around on my chair until I fell off. When can I expect you to send me a copy?

Wow, I always wanted to meet you, Mr. Gates!

Learning new things everyday. I thought it got charged every time it ran through the PO.

ROTFLMAO! That is absolutely outstanding. I have to try that.

Ah, yes, "Revenge on the Telemarketers", by Tom Mabe. Great CD.
No, man, you're the Angel of Death!

Fishing weights would probably work too. Fold a few into a piece of paper, stuff it in and send it. Mind you don't go over 15 ounces.

The computers have a real operating system on them (GNOME)
I thought GNOME was a desktop environment, not an operating system.

I can stop light, then send it off in a whole new direction! It's called a "mirror." I will apply at the US Patent Office, and make millions!

It appears that your message had some impact. I was able to browse thru the link they put on their warning page, using Opera 5.x on Win2k Pro.

I don't remember if this sort of thing is in 2001, but they land on Halleys in 2061, and then use some of the water vapor Halleys loses as fuel.

Are they doing their calculations in miles, kilometres, or both?
