I don't buy the 1:1 analogy. Reel-to-reel tape decks often let you record at any of three different speeds to make the contents fit your tape. 3-5/8 ips was the nominal speed, 7-1/4 ips for high-quality, and 1-7/8 ips for low-quality (all speeds are approximate). This technology even let you mix and match any contents on the tape.
Aparently you all missed last Sunday's episode of 60 Minutes. South American gangs are cleaning out stores using special bags lined with foil to foil the RFID theft prevention readers. Was this story a how-to-steal an Armani suit or a bash at foreigners?
Those cable commercials claim that satellite companies will nickel and dime you to death. Untrue...satellite (with locals) is the same price or cheaper than cable. As others have pointed out, Dish reception is as good as cable and only the worst of stroms may cause a brief outage.
I switched from Charter Communications (a Paul Allen company) to Dish after they dropped CPSAN-2 in favor of a 24-hour Spanish informerical channel.
As for picture quality, satellite is a little worse than standard cable due to MPEG compression of the satellite transmission. This is particularly noticeable during very fast action or film credits on a black background. However, most cable companies are switching (have switched) to digital cable which also uses MPEG compression and suffers the same fate.
...and bullshit questions like "what is your greatest weakness".[sic]
I suppose many who are put off by this question don't understand the purpose of a recuritment interview. Technical skills are less important than character qualities. Does this person bring enthusiasm to the workplace? Does this person have some maturity? Is this person honest and introspective to know his/her abilities and limits? Or is he/she just some smart ass that can rattle off answers to an MSCE or CCNA exam? I'd much rather hire someone with a positive work ethic and technical aptitude than some mental giant whose mission in life is making others feel miserable.

Used to be laser printers produced ozone as a byproduct. They had a special filter that would trap the ozone. I always felt we could solve the ozone problem by encircling the Earth with a network of laser printers, or at least put very long chimneys on Earth-bound printers.
Yes, it is easy to catch the lazy cheaters, but if put some effort in it then it should be a little more difficult then running grep.
According to the Friday Los Angeles Times [pp C1]:
Some lines of [Linux] code are the same as those in the version of the rival Unix operating system that SCO controls, even down to the wording in explanatory comments made by the programmers, according to Yankee Group analyst Laura DiDio...
Sounds like purloined source code from this description.
SCO will attempt to defend itself against Novell's assertion regarding Unix IP rights. Listen in and decide for yourself whether SCO has something new to say.
The SCO Group Teleconference, Friday, May 30 1:00 p.m. EDT
Code, what code? I don't need no stinking code for the conference call. It sounds like they're just READING the press releases already on their website.
The number you have dialed 800-406-5356 is not a valid number for the conference. The new number is area code eight hundred, nine four six, zero seven one nine. Please make a note of the new number. Area code eight hundred, nine four sig, zero seven one nine.
Actually, under 38 US 3008, et seq, the law lets you, the recipient determine what is erotically arousing or sexually provacative. The postmaster is prohibited from making this interpretation. I used this form 1500 to get off of the weekly Pennysaver mailing.
I probably heard the same guy, but not on HS. I believe the guy's name is Tom Mabe and the CD is called "Revenge On The Telemarketers." It was very satisfying to listen to all those skits.
Capacitor lifespan of 2000-3000 hours? That's the equivalent of one work year. Have you misplaced a decimal point or are computers expected to be replaced EVERY year?
Microsoft still fails to provide this feature. You can't protect the O/S from hostile users. One husband can easily delete the WinNT/System directory thereby interfering with Don Funk's ability to use the system.
Unix, et al, has protected O/S files against accidental or malicous deletion for over 30 years. Can't say the same thing about Windows. Not in M/S DOS, not Windows 3.1, not Windows NT, not Windows 2000, not Windows XP. When will they ever get that part right?

How do I remove the RFID tag from my tin foil lined beanie?

CNN is reporting that the latest Novarg worm is launching a DOS attack against SCO websites. There is justice in the world after all.

This is another example of the Microsoft's strategy for world domination. NetFlix gives preference to customers using IE over Netscape/Mozilla.

You gotta love that logic: replace all the Congressmen who voted for the DMCA with someone new that would have voted for it given the chance.

Have you seen 39 US 3009(c)? One could argue
this also applies to electronic mail.
