While I would never suggest windows offers the same features and flexibility as a Unix/Linux/BSD command shell, with some work, there is no reason a Windows server cannot be administered via a command line SSH session.
Mediocre?! Would you have preferred more zombie gore and less examination of the human condition? Whatever, man. To each his own I suppose.
As far as I can tell, it was most definitely NOT written with a movie deal in mind. The production company that bought the rights to it has been scratching its collective head for over a year just trying to figure out how the hell to make a workable movie out of it. It's not written in a way that readily translates to film.
It seems to me the only way it was "written with a movie deal in mind" was in the sense that any decently written, commercially successful book is likely to get a movie deal, whether it'll make a good movie or not. This book could make a very good movie...but it's well beyond me to figure out how.
Numerous Guides to Piracy have been published, and more than a few authors have taken a crack at Zombie Survival Guides, the most popular spin-off being the zombie novel World War Z, which is now on its way towards Hollywood.
And for damn good reason. It's a hella good book. No doubt Hollywood will fuck it up.
1. I've often wondered if porn were purchasable this way. Not that I want to buy it...but I see a market if such a product doesn't already exist for something along the linse of this: you buy this USB key with X application on it (some modified portable version of [insert OSS app here]) that would appear as a legitimate application, and work as advertised, but have a hidden mode that is activated via some super secret hot-key combination plus password the user sets to launch the hidden porn stash/viewer and another quick hot-key to go back to normal mode. The idea is for the man on the go who wants an easy way to hide his porn stash in plain sight.
2. Since SD-RAM cards are so cheap now, and almost every device I have supports them, I've been considering transcoding my DVDs to MPEG4 files onto 1GB SD cards. Before I go spending all that time doing it though...Anybody think this is ill-advised?

In the American Revolution, the insurgents^Wterrorists^Wfreedom fighters were the Minute Men. We won, so our history books say they were heroes.
An insurgent is just a hero fighting for the other side..
Thinking about this, I find I am so excited I can barely sit still or hold a thought in my head. I think it is the excitement only a true gamer can feel, a gamer at the start of a long journey whose conclusion is uncertain... I hope Apple can elevate the gaming industry. I hope to see Steve Jobs and shake his hand. I hope their new games/systems are as blue as they have been in my dreams.
I am a gamer and I'll agree that games are not real life. But I must say, I wouldn't kill people in real life because there are repercussions. I can kill all the bad guys (or good guys if I feel like it) in a game and there are no REAL consequences. In real life, that's not so...so killing = bad.
But if I were a dictator and had total control of my country, the repercussions for cracking down and killing thousands of people may not be so bad. First order of business: institute mandatory DNA registrations, checking every person for AVPR1a and killing all the other ruthless people.
This is the idea that this way we get to have more of an impact on Microsoft.

While it is true that there isn't a shortage of applicants, there is most certainly a shortage of people who can actually perform the advertised job.
I agree with you and think you're mostly correct. But, to be fair, it's hard to find people who can perform the advertised job when the advertised job calls for 5 years experience with SQL Server 2005.
If you've never seen job requirements like that, you've not been paying attention...much like the PHBs posting those jobs.
I paid the $5 days ago, (before the story appeared on/., digg, boingboing, and every other news site in the world) but have YET to get a successful download of the FLAC version, and have now "exceeded download limit" even though their server crapped out on me every time I attempted to download it over the last few days and...I repeat...I have YET to download it even once. (I'm a bit frustrated here, if you can't tell.) Three e-mails to the NIN store later and no response. BitTorrent here I come.
I agree that censorship in general is never necessary. But, boy howdy, do I wish more people would practice a little self-censorship. Especially politicians.

I think they're called "Attorneys" or maybe "Lawyers". I don't know much about them but I've heard of them and think you might be in need of one.
Good luck, though. I heard all the good ones are dead or something like that.
If only I had mod points.
Yes, I agree, Richard Stallman dreams of a day where nobody is involved in developing or promoting proprietary software.

I have trouble understanding why we put people with such obvious contempt for the law in positions that are in charge of it.
It's easy: they promise to stop "baby killing" and gay marriage. Basically, it's our country's accepted form of religious extremism.

"Civil War" is an oxymoron.

iHope.
The original article already has Russian trackbacks on it.
In Soviet Russia, trackback adds article to you.

Pay no attention to the largest proprietary software company in the world behind the curtain.
