If you like building in SL but hate the tedium, you should check out Skidz Primz. It builds a intuitive UI around regular prims. Especially useful when trying to put many prims together.
(Skidz is a friend and I couldn't resist pimping his tools. Dont hold this spam against him please)
My otherwise lovely company, in accordance with the vageries of SOX and the retards from http://www.deloitte.com/us, is rather more interested in slowing things down.
And has anyone successfully used racks intended for rackable musical instruments to hold servers instead?
Never saw that exactly but I did see the inverse. My old roommate had an nice old rack surplused from a gov data center packed with tasty musical gear.
That doesn't have to be a problem. For most bizish apps the concept is (seems) pointless. But for Scientific apps with lots of static "historical" type data, it could be sweet. Through in some automatic magic "partitioning" of the dataspace across N hosts and you might have something pretty amazingly useful.
I think most mega-dialup ISPs are doing this sort of thing. I know Sprint/Earthlink does it. They do ask if you want to notify those in your address book, but they fail to mention the marketing crap that they attach.
It is distasteful, but it's not a Microsoft only thing.
I live in Kansas City and I never heard of the event! Neither had any of the other programmers I work with. I'm sure if any one of us had heard of it, that one would have coerced the rest of us to go.
How did you get stuck on 1 trillion? The DOD only gets between 300 and 400 billion a year. That's not a trillion. Even if you are considering some aggregate of years, 1 trillion makes no sense as it's much more than that in, say, a decade.
I'm not trying to say it's a good thing to spend money on (what do I know anyway?) I'm just curious about your bizzare number...
He actually did give good reasons for his change of heart. (And before that, good reasons for hating MacOS.)
You probably aren't enough of an FPS junkie to follow plan updates, but if you look for a finger archive (http://finger.planetquake.com/company.asp?id=1 might be useful) you may find some of his thoughts about Apple taking consumer level 3D hardware and games in general more seriously.
That part about the preview pane is NOT true. You have to dblclick the *.vbs for it to run. I suspect one of your users was trying to keep from looking stupid when they claimed NOT to have dblclicked it.
As proof I offer as examples 3 people sitting near me (as well as me) that looked at the message through the preview pane but, of course, remain uninfected.
7 March 2000: Latest news in the Boeing lost tank saga Editor's note: word is spreading fast at NASA MSFC that Boeing may have actually sold the two ISS tanks at a surplus property sale for $50. The tanks cost NASA $750,000. Stay tuned.

That's exactly right. Inflexible (boneheaded) staff and retarded auditors. They're like villians from an Ayn Rand novel.
How many of you are experiancing THAT?

When Verisign bougth them.
Yes. Insanely expensive. It is pretty good but not really close to being worth $500 per seat (when purchased separately from Visual Studio).
Um. Don't you think that's more than a bit redundant? :)

Seriously.
I'll work for them at below market wages!
The evidence in favor of Dilbert representing "Universal Truth" has been omnipresent throughout my short career. It's depressing.

Nova on PBS is airing a show abotu this right now. It's pretty good. Also see the show's website.
In a way, they do post. They post the stories and the stories are frequently ammended with quips, thoughts, etc...
Hell yes you are! But it's more fun to broaden the whine to include all marketing weasels.

SpaceRef Also has this story but with the actual paper attached in HTML.
Both are in dash MP3 CD players.
Anyone have any experiance with either one?
Too bad the turn out was so dissappointing...

Not only that but Nasawatch is way cooler. :)
Nasawatch has some more good coverage of this.

Just a thought.
