Have you every looked at a 20-year-old tattoo that was taken care of? What I mean was that the owner kept the skin moisturized, alway wore sunblock, and avoided excessive time in the sun? It looks as good as the day it was done.
I've been working in the IT sector for about 10 years now. I'm pushing about 50% body coverage with tattoos (fully sleaved on both arms, lots of individuals spread out over the rest of my body). I wear earings. Up until a few years ago I had a few facial piercings too (removed because I was sick of them, not from any external pressure). I've had blue hair (right now I have no hair). I've never had a complaint. Why? I follow a few simple rules:
1. Look neat and professional at your interview with none of your tattoos showing. Always look/behave one level more formal than you think the interviewer expects.
2. Don't allow your tattoos/modifications to be visible at work until you are sure they appreciate your skills. Once you have proven that you have the skills, they don't really care how you look.
3. On the day you decide that you are going to allow your tattoos to be visible, make sure you go to your manager and ask them something along the lines of "Please let me know before we have clients coming in so that I can make myself presentable to them." They will appreciate the fact that you understand that some people may be put off by your 'non-professional' appearance and that you are willing to 'play the part' for the good of the company.
I recall seeing a small joypad meant for portables/laptops that was a simple crosshair and 4 buttons, and was just the right size for smaller hands. I think it was a Logitech, but don't quote me on that.
I'm outraged with Bioware. When NWN was first announced to be in development YEARS ago, they were saying it would support Win/Mac/Linux OUT OF THE BOX! They continued to say that right up until the time they shipped Windows only boxes. I gave them the benefit of the doubt and picked up the box figuring there was just some issue with distribution, I'll be able to download the linux binaries in a few days. No such luck. They have led us on for what, 6 months now? This is clearly a case of false advertising to increase sales, and I for one would jump on a class action lawsuit.

I've actually had this same problem before. What I did was simple. Most programs for Windows default to My Documents as the default folder to save to, so most users use this. Well, if you right-click the My Documents folder on the desktop and get the properties you discover that "My Documents" is a configurable location. So I simply made a share on a central server (Linux running Samba in my case, but an NT server will work just as well:), and created a folder for each user. Then I simply mapped each users "My Documents" folder to the user's folder in the share. They didn't have to change their practices at all but now all I had to do was keep that one server backed up and everything was good.
I for one have never had a problem with PayPal, and I've been using them for over a year and a half. I've needed to contact them for support exactly once (yesterday). Get this...I call the phone number and a REAL PERSON answers the phone on FIRST RING! Not only that, but they are courteous and helpful and resolved my problem in under 20 minutes. I've never had such a good support experience in my life.
We had this at the office where I used to work. It seemed to go down on a regular basis, for a different reason every time. However, my favorite has to be the time it went down because a homeless person put a sticky note on the lens!
Zend's PHP IDE was too slow for me (when it would even run), and I never could get the debugger to work.
PHPed is for Windows
PHP4EE is also for Windows
So, I keep using vim. If there is anything else out there, I'd love to try it. But for linux solutions it looks like I'll be sticking with vim for the foreseeable future.
To help relieve overcrowding, the Internet's oversight body last year approved seven new
suffixes, the first major additions since the domain-name system was created in the mid-1980s.
I haven't used the floppy adapter yet, but when using the pcmcia memory stick adapter it just shows up as a PCMCIA IDE device. I mount it with 'mount -t vfat/dev/hde1/stick" and everything works fine.
I run our sites on IBM machines running Linux without a hitch. Admittedly, we don't get millions of hits a day...yet. But we are getting close to that so we are building bigger machines...on IBM boxes running Linux.

xbill was ported to OSX almost a year ago.

I needed to make a portable webcam server on wheels once. I just put 4 Haupauge WinTV cards (bt848) cards in a box and I was done.

May 22nd is my birthday! Who wants to buy me one?
You forgot my favorite from the military. If you were one of those poor sods with bad eyesight you got to wear these horribly ugly glasses, dubbed...
BCG's: Birth Control Glasses
So called, because if you were wearing a pair there was no way you were ever going to get a member of the opposite sex interested in you.

I see a bit of a dichotomy here.

Operating systems are a pain in the ass to design and test. Why would anyone give one away??
Ummm, wait. Nevermind.
I'm getting the same thing. I have no idea why.
Check your glasses :)

I thought it was pretty funny.

Taxation without representation. Wasn't that the major cause of the American Revolutionary War?
It DOES happen in Netscape 4.6. I tried under Linux and IRIX and it happens for both of them.
