If I want advice about something, I ask friends or people I trust. The type of people I have as friends are trustworthy. No problem. Also, they aren't the type to advertise for others, and we're also pretty individualistic about our tastes. No worries here about being a sheep and following popular/pretty people around
Then there's my dad, who took off when I was three. Sure, he came back to town when I was in high school but he still doesn't take my advice on computers or a/v equipment (been doing both computers and home theater since early '90's).
Instead, he always goes to his buddy down the street. You know the guy, who told him, when my Dad's PC was virus infected, to get a new one as they'd never be able to get it working right again. So I'm over visiting a few months ago and I check out his system. It's an HP mini-tower, just like his last one, but running really slow. He now has Symantec on it and it appears to be clean but then I check it's stats. He's running a PIII 500Mhz instead of his PIV he had. Nice buddy he has there. Oh well, he's never taken the time to ask me anything so I see no reason to try and enlighten him either.
As my TI (training instructor) said in basic, "We are the Air Force. We are the button pushers. We have the bomb." And once I got to my duty station (SAC base) I found out if you aren't flying, you're support. Back then (mid 80's) when ever the horn went off and our planes scrambled, we knew we had about 30-60 minutes before we got pasted (never knew if it was a real launch or not). Kinda' sucked.
As for supporting other guys on the ground, when I switched to reserves, I became a medic in a med-evac group and was assigned to an MASF (mobile air staging facility) in support of a unit in the 2nd Marine Division. Never got any guff about being a zoomie out there. 'Course, our MASF had the only women in about 30 miles. Don't know if that had anything to do with it. All these Marines were always looking for introductions to our female nurses and med techs.
Are you refering to the idea that 4000 years of recorded history provides evidence that people with inherited wealth and power are more destructive to society than the average Joe?
Ban all personal electronic devices and media in the work place. If someone wants to work from home, they can use a Citrix client to log onto a generic desktop and access their files that way. Configure client to not allow saves to outside computer. Monitor email attachments leaving the server.
My bed is a slab of granite, covered with 1/8" of smooth leather. Never had any trouble using my laptop and it's been in the bedroom for years. My lower back, on the other hand...
As the Gulf Stream goes north, it loses heat (making Britain and Europe warmer in the process). Up around Greenland, it's lost enough heat that the water sinks down and flows south in a reverse current, back to the Caribbean.
With decreased salinity in the northern Atlantic, and with the Gulf Stream being warmer, the water doesn't sink, and the current is disrupted. Once this happens, the Gulf stream ceases flowing north and instead, heads towards Africa, creating conditions for more powerful hurricanes.
As for Britain, Europe, and Greenland, with out the Gulf Stream, their average temperature drops about 10F over the next hundred years. This happened back in the 1300's and lasted through the 1700's. The Thames was frozen over in the winter and the Delaware river was ice choked (see that rebel guy trying to cross it). Eventually, the North Atlantic gets cold enough for the water up there to start sinking and flowing south, creating conditions for the Gulf Stream to start flowing north again, and temperatures warm up in Europe and such. Pretty straight forward.
There was an All-in-one Mac TV a few years ago, that was black. Was a 13" screen built into a squarish case with 68040 processor, I think, and built in TV tuner/remote that allowed you to plug in cable and record shows to the hard drive. Never really took off...
Xerox didn't come up with overlapping windows. Steve thought he saw the windows overlapping and demanded that his guys come up with the same feature. And they did.

Air Force has had Space Command for awhile.
Mission: To defend the United States of America through the control and exploitation of space.
Or better yet, the C-130 pilot, going in to pick up wounded.

Or buying Apple Records?
That's like my place as well; no personal electronics, no media.

I thought OS X Beta was the beta.

Comedy Channel/Fox News bundle?
Hey! Not wanting to watch rich people play games with balls is un-Mer'kin! What are you? A Cromie?

You just need to dial it in manually and then feed DC power directly to the case to get the wormhole to form.
I'm still waiting for MS to fix IE Java script security problem. :-(

I thought yenc was for pr0n encoding?
What about colour? Or Cheque?
I'm damn tired off all these Victorian era mechanical storage devices. Where's my cheap, fast, realiable solid state storage media?
I know, I know: Cheap, Fast, Reliable. You can have any two.
Longer than that. I remember reading about it back in the '70's. Along with my flying car, solar energy satellites, etc.
My copies of Rome don't take up too much room, either.
...applications take only a small fraction of the used disk space as compared to user data
Don't you mean pr0n?
Wasn't Boxen that robot dog in the first Battlestar Galatica?
