I work at a large company (50K+ employees) where telecommuting is pretty common. Their policy on this is pretty much their policy on everything lately: does it help our bottom line?
On the books, 1 cube costs the department you work for US$1500/month. This includes maintainance, phone, network, etc etc. It may include other things like a per-head share of security personnel and cafeteria subsidies, but I'm not sure.
On the other hand, you can get a posh home office set up for about $1000 initial cost (desk, chair, files, phone installs, bandwidth installs (DSL, cable, whatever), etc) and $200-$300/month for recurring expenses (phone, long distance, ISP). Obviously, the bean-counters are going to jump at the latter amount.
Of course, we're kind of strange in that bosses and employees aren't always in the same geographical location anyway (my boss is in another country...I've met him in person once), so the supervision question isn't as important.

Do you mean the operating system or Nortel Networks? (:
I thought a similar function was already implemented in Edit -> Preferences -> Advanced -> 'Only accept cookies originating from the same server as the page being viewed'
Last time I tried WINE was at version 990131 on FreeBSD -CURRENT. It was fairly stable...I got Word 97 running in it, but then the fscking paper clip showed up and crashed everything. Bummer.
Let's see...my favorite beers...Guinness, various Sam Adams brews (Cream Stout, Boston Lager), various local brews (a place called Bosco's has these great brews called Isle of Skye Scottish Ale and another called Flaming Stone), plus others such as Harp and Fuller's ESB and so forth. These are a few of my favorite things.

Man, I really hope that Mexican bee guy from channel ocho is a character. He's the best.

Indeed. I think the HBO series "Six Feet Under" is brilliant (though not at all sci-fi).
Seeing what they do to bodies has convinced me to go with cremation.

Pet peeve - the proper lyric is:
"Goo goo goo joob"
Which seems more appropriate for this context anyway.
My personal favorite high school coding project (also on TRS-80) consisted of:
10 LPRINT ""
20 GOTO 10
The teacher thought the network printer was stricken with a virus.

I can't really think of anyone who could appropriately play my personal favorite Tick character, the Evil Midnight Bomber What Bombs at Midnight.
Also, I would be happy to see if they could get Hank Azaria involved in this show somehow...it seems right up his alley.
What's your favorite type of beer (specific brand/brew or general style)?

Agreed...the new format fits perfectly. I count
