By strict legal definition Linux and the such can STILL be installed and made available in the NT loader since technically the machine has booted into NT4/win2k/XP by that time.
Actually there is a few examples of old monopolies dying out. The East India Company is perhaps the best example. Just like countries, times change, power shifts, and different things become more important.
Oh no! Somehow I think if you can teach someone to use VI, they can figure out how to do ANYTHING in Excel. j/k:P
It's not about forcing people to break stereotypes, it's about allowing them the choice. Unfortunately these days young women are not socially *allowed* to be geeky at all. The idea is making more choices not less. Pull your head out of your ass and look around.
Though hopefully it will perhaps allow that 'girl that just wants to be a secretary' to break out of debilitating stereotypes and get the sys admin job.
So the third principle that hackers are uncontrollable can be solved by doing hardware controls eh?
Unfortunately the Article relies on too many myths of it's own:
1. Hardware is difficult to hack.
Sure it is *more* difficult generally, but the internet will still allow distribution of the information about how to do it very easily.
2. Companies will make products people don't want.
Companies make products people don't *need*, but invariably they need people to *want* their products. There is no reason a hard drive or a computer that makes music copying difficult is something people want. People will simply buy the computer that is easy to use. (like apple and winXP support cd burning very easily now)
3. Comanies care about other companies
Microsoft doesn't give two craps about Sony as far as Sony could affect their bottom line. In the end they can make more money selling things to people so that the people can rip Sony off than Sony could give them not to.
Though one of the reasons IRC (imo),as far as *chat* is concerned, has been declining in popularity is due to the general chaos and warring that goes on. Also with the design is the concept of channel ownership and privledge levels. The encryption is an added bonus/mechanism.
One test that I enjoy, though have only been able to use once is to take our "test lab", and image a broken machine with a few things broken on it. The things will likely range from simple things (misconfigured ip info) to the esoteric (ethernet card installed in same slot as a previous ethernet card in win2k w/o first 'uninstalling' the first card).
Tell the canidate that they can ask any question they'd like beyond "what's wrong with it" sort of questions. Sometimes the amount of fixage is important, but usually the questions and the thought processes are very insightful to the Admin's abilities.
Fortunately the Planet of the Apes movie has deviated greatly from the original plotlines into something the staff that's making it believe more than the Heston version.
Wahlberg is a decent, if simple, actor despite his past.
The reason most everyone releases old crap is because it's old crap that people know. Hell, movies is largely marketing these days anyway.:[
also if you note, most people when walking in small groups (where the sound is easily discernable) will fall into step so at least the sounds of feet walking will be in sync, even if the left-right-left-right is reversed.
I actually downloaded and tried the little guy. It's still sitting on my desktop for those times that weird IE problems crop up (ex. caching the wrong slashdot ip in the recent outage). It's pretty speedy, and renders things acceptibly, excellently if the site isn't IE required.
It is a good backup browser, though unfortunately IE is pretty good and stable these days.
True, though marketing people will usually garner the big first sales. They will get the "look at this! it's cool" sales. R&D takes and says "you've used the cool stuff... now wouldn't it be even cooler if it could do *this* *this* and *this*?" so they get the secondary sales.
IBM is definately a company that can wait, be the 2nd or 3rd or 4th one into the game and *then* whoops some ass with products other companies have marketted to hell so the public knows about them, and knows what would make them better (IBM's r&d)
This is far superior to NT4's install that took 45 minutes, but instead of moving everything to the end, you actually had to be there for 45 minutes answering questions.
Win2k allows you to at least go do something else during the install time.
RedHat 6-7 ask all the questions first (which I prefer) and in my experience only takes slightly less time than a win2k install.
(though win2k requires a bit more after install app installs)
My company just recently got one of the Top of the Line (tm) Dell desktop. It was so quiet I accidentally powered the machine on an off 3 or 4 times before I realised that I had done so...
AFAIK IANAL: They will have to arrest you in order to sieze equipment, because they can only sieze the equipment if they expect you to destroy it. Therefore if it's bogus you can sue for either illegal search and siezure, or unlawful arrest (for arresting you for no good reason).
Yes, it is mostly nonsense, though I'm not sure how your views are left wing...
Human have the choice to do whatever they'd like, which includes playing games, viewing porn and being total assholes. We are not automatons, we as people are driven by feelings and emotions.
Porn makes me happy, therefore I view more porn. Games make me happy, therefore I play more games. I don't believe they make me violent, though I could be wrong. In all honesty it's that women agree to such objectification that angers me. Stupidity of some of the people replying to your posts angers me.
What angers me is that being a responsible user of computer games and pornography, some people find the need to prejudice me.
And of course no women play computer games, or view pornography.
Perhaps instead of limiting your partners to those that do not participate in computer games or pornography, try to find ones who *can* handle the heightened sense of awareness, while still being able to resist desires...

Note that (as of 2-3 years ago) NJ public schools were #1 in money spent per head on education. They were 49th in standardized test scores.

Actually, it looks an awful lot like my Dreamcast.
Unfortunately under American law corperations *ARE* people in nearly every legal sense except accountability.

IGN has a similar news report which includes comments regarding the use of katana in the film.

Bleh. I could get a fully functional Athlon machine with a 20 gig hard drive for that much.
Who care's if it's tiny.
So, who got to clean that up?

Um.. the rocket that was carrying the plane broke, not the actual plane...
Either way this is of course a setback, but not a technical one, merely time and money.

perhaps we know different women. The ones that I know that interact with pornography at all view pornography (usually VCR instead of mpegs).
Then maybe you should turn off your TV, or bomb a local movie theatre, or boyott makeup and skirts.
And god knows the Backstreet Boys aren't objectified by teenage girls the world over...
And of course no women play computer games, or view pornography.
