This guy is right. What we really want is 100% reliability when we are actually using whatever it is. So maybe you can make a deal with Murphy to save up all that downtime for when you are asleep.
What about the world-wide market? US companies will not be able to compete on a global scale without the newest infrastructure. Countries like Korea, China and Japan will discount the US as "an old technology country", do we want that?
Can anyone explain to me why the US Government's policy on software is licence driven? I have repeatedly suggested quality products that were either freeware (VNC) or open source (Linux) and the response from the "higher ups" is always "we cannot use a product we have no licence for." I, and my peers, get soooo much training in programing (all types) and security (SANS) only to be forced onto Windows and a Sun/Gauntlet configured networks.

I expect the war on terror to cost more than any other war..ever. Not to mention the intel consolidation (Homeland defense) and NMCI (remember that $9B contract). Every industry imaginable is represented in some part of the US government. Irregardless of what industry you enjoy, get a job with a government contractor. That will be your job security. 85% of contractor positions hold no government clearance requirements (up from 60% in 1998). And maybe you could get them to pay for an investigation. One more thing for your resume.
How many times do we have to have history repeat itself before we realize that someone who lived through it just plain knows more about it. Do we want to end up like the "Foundation" of Izaac Asimov fame? There's reading about something and then there's KNOWING it, really feeling the history. If we loose that passion, we loose our humanity.
Or unless you stop someone from repeating history(I know there's a cliche in there somewhere) I can't imagine going back to the dark ages of computing, but I'd like to be the guy who stops the next y2k fiasco.
The "computer educated community" (read: hackers/crackers whatever) wants to be able to use the word in public. They want to say "I am a Hacker" and have women swoon. Face it, Hacker will never equal Quarterback, deal with it.
I will have to admit that is the best collection of material I have seen on the subject. Check out my user profile to put proper credence to my statement.
I thought I was the only one who remembered these parodies. I found myself saying the lines as I read them on the post. Thanks for the memory jolt. Someone should have Dr. Demento online, anyone know where he is?
Computer criminals are being treated worse because the things that they can destroy are considered more important in this society. Face it, a life or someones sanity/dignity (only things I can think of for rapists) is not considered as important today as money or the systems that control it. A wealthy mans credit report means more to this society than a good percentage of lives that he controls. Welcome to the 21st Century.
In the future our attention will be as valuable as the almighty dollar. Whatever we are watching is news. It's happening now, it will only get worse. So yes, if I am bored it will stop being newsworthy. Whoever this guy is he is not working in the entertainment or news industry.

How will dogs feel about this?
By correcting your dumbfuck training to actually work.
Are you hiding something?

3 to 4 year olds.
We could power a small coutry if we installed these in pre-schools.
I think some of us would like the 10 page how-to. Some of us might be willing to PAY for the how-to. Why reinvent the wheel?
Why not do some research on AJAX? You don't need a plug-in to view Google Maps, do you?

Can you moderate to a negative number?

They already did. Doesn't the 760 chipset support DDR and RDRAM???

My life online is a whole lot more interesting than my real life (and takes up more of my time)

Duh, that's the point of open source. If more people realized this, open source programing would be a prefered over "Microsofting" everything.
