They did go extinct. Some guy on an island found a mosquito in a piece of amber. He took some blood from inside that mosquito's stomach and then put the amber on a stick. Then he used that blood to clone a new troll. I can't blame him, a theme park full of trolls would be fun to see as long as their computers are UNIX because I know that!
You are right. I posted before my morning coffee. I got connection timeouts from my brain as well. My nameserver is set to Google's though, with OpenDNS as a backup. I wouldn't put it past Comcast to mess with that too.
Strange... from my work computer, I get a connection timeout. From my Comcast connection at home, I get
rst.x476.rs.dns-oarc.net.
rst.x485.x476.rs.dns-oarc.net.
rst.x490.x485.x476.rs.dns-oarc.net.
"68.87.73.244 DNS reply size limit is at least 490"
"68.87.73.244 lacks EDNS, defaults to 512"
Great, now I'm gonna spend all day doing the dimensional analysis to get from X asteriods of water to Y Libraries of Congress. I'll let someone else dig up the relevant xkcd link.
It is a pretty good idea. There is one thing missing though, and that is the the other VM with Windows. I am a college student about to graduate at the end of the year. I found that there is always one class each semester that requires something Microsoft. This semester, it is Project 2007. Other times, it is the stupid Blackboard-Wimba module, or some other thing that assumes only Windows users are taking the class. Of course, if the students want to play any video games, they would be better off dual-booting since they are "teh n00bs" for now.

WTF?? Shut up before they hear you!
3 digits?
So I would say Apple is Gandolf. :p
Blasphemy AND misspelling that name... I just threw up a little in my mouth.
Maybe for firmware updates and troubleshooting by Casio tech support?
He works in porn, you insensitive clod!
Time to suggest mandatory full-disk encryption to my boss. Free computer at home and an upgrade for my work computer all in one. Thanks!

You're right... that was a shame.

Dude, I heard you were new so I asked if you were new so I could find out if you were new while I asked if you were new.
a consumer doesn't (yet!) have to worry about the OS version.
Last week I updated my wife's iPhone because she couldn't download quite a few apps. It kept telling her she had to update her OS to use the app.
Mental note: Buy a Lacroix Waverunner for my crashing oscilloscope demonstration.
Sounds like Excel is starting to catch up to emacs.
Rule 1 of Slashdot: Never RTFA
Rule 2 of Slashdot: Never RTFA
Yeah, like I have time to read the rules.
I followed you, but you can't expect every idiot with mod-points follow a thread unless you really spell it out for them.
There should really be a test for that too. It's almost as dangerous as operating heavy machinery! *wink*
I think you just found the reason people think IT gets paid way too much to sit around doing nothing.
I'm not trying to be funny or cruel.
Yet you nailed them both.
Understandable. After all, it wasn't a very funny joke.
It was a joke...
So you watch as much porn as half of everyone in the government combined? Wow.
Dude, just fire them. You don't have to be cruel.
keeping abreast on technology news
I see what you did there...
