depends on what your time costs the company. If you are willing to eat the extra hours to build the systems then yes you can save a lot of money. In this economy the extra hours put in to save your job might very well be worth it. YMMV but everytime I have done this the first couple of boxes have taken a long time then once I had working with the hardware being used down the time to build went down a lot. I would not worry about support you are most likely better than anything Dell could provide.
http://www.rubberhose.org is a better solution than putting your data in a camera or a MP3 player which the bad guys know just as well as you can hold *real* data also.
I looked at all the new trailers bought toys the day they came out had read the book and comic book several times before the movie came out. This time I'm ignoring all of the marketing in the hope that having some surprises will help make this one seem better. I'm just wondering if anyone else is doing this and/or what you all think about this.

Gphone should work. Having said that the hardware solution is *well* worth the money. One of the things it does is act like a phone. I'm having this put in when I move to my new house.:)
is that Google is trying to keep out spam and other forms of evil ads and only let people who want to follow some basic rules that increase the value of the ads advertise. To the folks at google thanks.
Back when I worked for an ISP (8 years ago) it would have *really* helped. Many of the problems we saw where lusers with hosed DNS settings. You would be shocked and amazed how hard it is to talk a total newbie through troubleshooting DNS and how easy it would have been to do using VNC.
Can you quote me where is said they could change my settings at will? Because yes I did read it and no it did *not* say that they could change the privacy policy at will.
Yes the laws about telemarkting *do* apply. When I signed up for an email account I told them not to call me or give my info to others in short I did in fact opt out. They have now put me on a telemarkting list after I told them to take me off and in fact to never put me there in the first place. It very much does apply.
http://www.cryptonomicon.com IMNSHO the best funniest geekiest book ever written. Basically during the WW2 part of the book they are using one time pads and one of the ways they are producing the random numbers is by having a Vicar's wife pull balls out of a bingo machine. Well she starts to peek and then the numbers are not quite random and so a German is able to crack their one time pads.
Yup, My theory on it is almost all the messianic stories we have from history take place in a great big old desert region here on Earth. Myself I love early Heinlein the later stuff I can take or leave and choose to leave most of it.
Yup here where I workded I've introduced several people to it and many of them really like it. In fact for some applications here it beats IE hands down.:)
Better than that link try this one. http://www.suntimes.com/index/ebert.html and just search on any SF or fantasy movie you like (The LOTR review is poetry) Odds are you will agree with him. The first one was Pitch Black and is worth reading also.
Yes this (http://www.suntimes.com/ebert/ebert_reviews/2000/ 02/021805.html) is just one of many reviews that prove that he does in fact "get it". And he is an *old* school sf fan. I rember reading somewhere that he started out doing a sf fanzine. All in all he is pretty cool.

No no no. Many perhaps most people who buy Macs do not think that way. These are the same people who buy new bugs and put a flower in the vase. Style over substance people. Also many of them are rabid about the software and while Virtual PC does not come with the OS it is so widely used it might as well. So many of them feel no pain and think of themselves as being superior. Jobs knows this and feeds it. Your logic is that of a geek. The people who buy Macs are, for the most part, not geeks.
Having supported one of the major cad/cam packages in the market (Pro/ENGINEER) I can tell you if I was an engineer I would spit on anyone who tried to give me a PC. A company will make back the extra money in engineers time in well under a year. The large packages all simply work better and are *much* more stable on Suns.

I think it should be modded "funny" instead of "interesting" read it from that viewpoint and it makes *much* more sense.

"Episode 3 cannot suck...it has to be dark, brooding, deeply philosophical, and light on action"
But you know as well as I do that it won't be. The only thing that can save us now is the rest of the LOTR films. Thank gawd for that my friend.

There are plugins for just about every MP3 player with the exception of WIMP.
No No you are not. That is just wrong in *so* many ways. /me shudders

It is funny if you have read Cryptonomicon. You should you really should.
You have to read a 600 page book

it would do away with the problem of the Vicar's wife peeking. :)
Note: Just because you don't get the joke does not mean that this is OT or that it is not funny. It is in fact both funny and very much on topic.
