stanford's almost all solaris. there was rumbling that they were all going to be changed to SULinux (stanford's flavor) within a few years, but haven't heard anything about that in a while.
As a student at Stanford University, I'm currently in a course called Sleep and Dreams, taught by the world's leading sleep expert, Dr. William Dement. It's an awesome class; he's really hammered home the concept of a sleep debt-he's been doing research on this field since the early 1950's, and has pioneered the concept of a sleep debt: typically you need 8 hrs and 15 minutes; if you get any less, it goes into a sleep debt that gets progressively worse. He's provided lots of evidence; I'm inclined to believe him more. The course books are huge, but read the lecture notes if you're interested...
I also run a small online company that uses PayPal almost exclusively for its payment system. So far I've generally been happy. However, the one email I sent to customer service took a full month to get a response. Phone support was better, however the reps didn't seem like they were too knowledgeable. Needless to say, I'm a little bit wary of having so much money in my account, so I can only suggest sweeping the funds to a real bank account on a regular basis...
Is there any precedent for something like this? I can't believe it's actually happened...in any case, I'm exceedingly pissed off that my email account has been disabled and my emails bouncing. What a nightmare for people everywhere (sysadmins of mailinglists, etc.)...
AT&T@home's been sending out a bunch of emails over the past couple weeks, mainly saying "uh, we're not sure what's going to happen, but your cablemodem service might go out so backup your stuff". Personally, I can't believe it's gotten this bad so fast...I've been using my @home connection and email address for years, and it'd take a huge amount of effort if I were to lose one or both (more the latter). Anyway, this is pretty big, so I'd say there's a good chance everything's going to be resolved with little difficulty (*fingers*crossed*)
Maybe they're afraid that the linux people have too much skill and will be more likely to try and cheat the system so they're concentrating on the windows community?
A while ago during the middle of the antitrust trial, there were lots of rumors about micro$oft moving to Vancouver, BC, about 100 miles north. The British Columbia government was also offering perks with taxes and other benefits, way more than what they're getting from the US government.

Anyone know what the top 3 were?
Besides his calculator endeavors jimmy's also a known fast typer :)
#23 all time on typerA.
yeah, it's a shitty patent and all, but just because it's been done doesn't mean that you can't patent it...just that the original people didn't.
why, cowboyneal. duh.

minus a 3d card? that's like...having a bed without a pillow...or Linux without vi...or a woman without breasts...
Actually, ever since I installed the registry speed tweaks, I had been getting over 500k/sec on occasion to my FTP at college. no more... :(

According to the AP story, .web was not accepted because of "concerns that it has already been unofficially registered."
ehhhh?

If you look at the bottom of the FAQ, you'll see this:
Where can I buy the Neo 35?
The Neo 35 can currently be purchased online here. It should soon be available in stores. We have stock, so you order now, we ship now.
As you can see, the order link is broken!

Ever notice that broadband is almost always cheaper in Canada?
:(
Most broadband in the US is at least $40/mo US(that's how much my cable is), and it'll be $40/mo CAN in the middle of nowhere? That's not right....
I've heard that it's pretty cheap over in Newfoundland as well.

Now we just need to figure out how to get locusts to do more productive stuff...like powering a laptop's battery or something. :)

Hmm...ironic that a few years ago MCI was the one who slammed me while I was with AT&T...
__
Hmm...now we can root other people's palms during boring english lectures :)
__
Woohoo. Totally agree. Now I have something to do next Friday night! :)

Also lots and lots of people have multiple ICQ/AIM accounts as well...

I also enjoyed this book; if you'd like my opinion you can check out my book review on dotcomma. </self-plug>

Wow, that seems like a double whammy...first they have to pay an out-of-court settlement, AND the trial still goes on? Sucks for mp3.com... :(
