I think you need to get the difference between "bought a book, crammed, and regurgitated for the cert" and "took two years of class and gained experience that way, with the cert curriculum being an added bonus" through your head.

I recall there've been problems like this before.
A lack of laborers willing to work hazardous conditions.
A lack of workers willing to work 12 and 16 hour shifts.
A lack of minority workers willing to accept that "no nigger/chink/wetback/slanteye/wop/spic/etc will ever be in charge at this outfit", and willing to keep their head down and not make waves.
A lack of minority workers willing to starve so white people can have their jobs.
A lack of female workers willing to perform sexual favors to retain their job.
Remember, corporations, there is never anything wrong with how you treat your workers, there's just many things wrong with their willingness. They're faceless drones, and if they aren't 'willing'... replace them. I'm::sniff:: so proud. GOD I LOVE AMERICA!

I'm not sure if it still counts as free-as-in-beer if they want you to pay if you like it. More like free-as-in-credit-cards or free-as-in-running-a-tab.

That's their official changelog, from WinAMP 2.91's about winamp menulink - take it up with them.
And yes, there was always a version you could get without paying, but it was called shareware - i.e., they still expected $$$ for it somewhere down the line.
Yes, he says that. But the actor they used was horrible for it. Remember, Frodo's supposedly 33-34 in the film (and in the book, he sets off when he's around 50). Bilbo claimed the Ring at age 50. He should look early middle aged, especially at the start of the film, or Frodo should look much older.

it puts the conductive paste on the cpu and puts it in the socket...
(hit reply too early)
And then they point out they were telling the truth about a simple thing, so the other complex things must be true....
No, that was on purpose. Some of the things they say are true... just not all of them.
Which is why Amiga floppies had this great thing called a sliding write protect tab.
In fact, since it was no tab == no copy, many games came on floppies with no tab - just a hole.

> On the -85 you don't have to stick them in parenthesis because it's a single number.
Yes you do. The precedence is wonky; it treats -xC -> F as -(xC -> F). The fix is to specify (-x)C -> F.
You overtrimmed:
>> there simply wasn't a large enough nice range to pull this off (you'd have to go to nice level 40 or so).
>Are you bubbling? Valid nice ranges are -20 to +19.
Grandparent's point exactly - you can't go to 40.
SOHO routers are freakin easy.
Plug WAN side into cable/dsl CPE, plug LAN side into computer, have computer set to DHCP, which out of the box machines are anyway, reboot.
Dern you. Someone was supposed to ask "Copulation in a canoe?" and *then* I (or you) reply "It's fucking close to water!"
Dernyoudernyoudernyou.
Ah, yes, good ol copulation-in-a-canoe stuff.

I just had Winamp 5 freeze on a mere 2000+ files.

What history? WinAMP was payware until version 2.50.
From the changelog:
"Winamp 2.50:
* Winamp is now freeware! Thanks to all who have previously
registered, your support is really appreciated!"
>what consumer wouldn't want that?
Those of us who don't want to surf the 'net on a TV?

And Gollum. And Elrond. And Bilbo, but of course, this is Bilbo ~60 years younger, so it wouldn't be the same actor.
Also, Gloin shows up in LotR-the-book. Don't remember if he popped up in the movie.
That's Tarrasque"
