The post does express things that bug me about some scientists. 1. The recreation of a creature from a miniscule amount of data. 2. The Orwellian nature of some parts of science. Once a theory is replaced by another, nobody seems to be cognizant of the fact that the current pet theory could be as easily replaced as the last theory. (We are at war with blue, we have always been at war with blue.)
You didn't have to purchase new hardware... but you would have a system that is a total dog if you didn't upgrade between Win98 and Win2k. Win98 would run fine with 32-64 MB of ram. Win2k needs at least 192MB to actually do anything after loading the OS. Technically it will run on less memory, but it doesn't run well.
My wife, friends and I have started playing poker instead of going to the movies. Generally we have a $10 buy-in (we are big time players.. haha). This is good for 2-4 hours of cards, conversation, laughs, etc. Overall, a much better evening with the chance of winning a little bit of money.
A couple of comments... My previous job was at an ISP. Your configuration is big iron compared to the boxes we were running sendmail on. Two sun servers with dual 300 procs servicing 10000 users. This was overkill before the need for spam filtering.
We could always tell the customers who ran exchange. Their mailserver would go down at least once per week. You can blame poor administration, etc, but it was consistent from site to site....
What we are referring to of course is the wonderful "blue pill" for thinking difficulties everyone is talking about. We not only carry it, but we do at 78 cents each. A bigger, firmer brain for only 78 cents per pill!
The crazy part of it is that the company wanted people to scan things out of newspapers with cue cats. I worked for Belo Corporation when these came out.... (Hangs head in shame...)
I was in Guadalajara in 1999 working for two weeks. I saw more weapons during my time there than I see in California in two years. The police were patrolling the streets with what appeared to be automatic weapons (M-16's and AK47's).

The first silicon laser produced is not very powerful. It is an "A" cup. In three years the Dolly Parton laser should be in full effect.
That post is genius, Real Genius.

Wait until you see what clippy looks like at 30 FPS. :)
Hmmm... I just configured mysql to listen on port 25 in my.cnf. It doesn't appear to accept mail very well...

Bad handshakeConnection to localhost closed by foreign host.
Ahh... it must be the my clever spam hack, mysql-assassin. Just a little more tweaking and I will have this...

William Shatner at 21...?? And you are holding the aussies up as shining examples of great music?!? :)
The 1989 list is interesting. It contains several songs that are 5 years old or older...
>Also, watch this post be modded down promptly as a troll, which should tell you something of the power of long entrenched religions.
Ahh.. you see, this is Slashdot. Anti-religious sentiment is modded as funny here.
It takes quite a while to convert all of the maps to ascii. :)

On win2k, it kills Oracle. Granted, this isn't a typical end user app. But it seems that MS goes out of their way to do things like this...
Everyone knows that it takes multiple windows servers to do the work of one decent Unix server... :)

Yeah.... all these Mac articles get in the way of the Windows vs Linux flame wars...
And what is this? I try to post and it says that I failed to confirm that I am human?? Why is Slashdot
sounding like my ex wife???

Maybe MS should put on bounty on some of their developers?
Hypocrites on Slashdot?!?!?! What is this world coming to??
