The EF-111 has long since been retired by the U.S. military, and the EA-6 is on the way out (neither plane is sexy enough for the fighter pilot-dominated Air Force generals).
Aah, yes...New Orelans. The city with at least two large signs in every one of its city buses that say, "DEPOSIT FARE IN FARE BOX, DO NOT GIVE FARE TO DRIVER".
This is a known problem, bug ID# 4064315...Sun has a patch for it.

Pony killed the Balrog? Sam killed him? Did we read the same book? Shelob was most definitely a she. Sam didn't kill her, either, or at the very least the matter was left unresolved:
Shelob was gone; and whether she lay long in her
lair, nursing her malix and her misery, and in slow year of darkness healed
herself from within, rebuilding her clustered eyes, until with hunger like
death she spun once more her dreadful snares in the glens of the Mountains of
Shadow, this tale does not tell.
I think Professor Tolkien provided the best retort himself. Let him speak in his own words:
"Some who have read the book,
or at any rate have reviewed it, have found it
boring, absurd, or contemptible; and I have no
cause to complain, since I have similar opinions
of their works, or of the kinds of writing that
they evidently prefer."
Hey...read the book yourself, Frodo doesn't kill any spiders. Samwise stabs Shelob, and if you're thinking of the spiders in the forest, Bilbo killed some spiders in Mirkwood in the Hobbit.
The reporter gets mad and denounces LOTR as a children's story because he doesn't get to do any literary analysis on it, because it's just a story and doesn't have any super-deep meaning. Literary folks get really, really mad and vicious when they can't engage their hobby, or when someone points out that they're wrong and can prove it.
Tolkien didn't write his books as allegory, or to give obsessive people something to obsess over, or any of the usual reasons people write books. Professor Tolkien was a linguist, and liked to invent languages. Being a linguist, he realized that languages are nothing without a cultural context to place them in. Hence, he created a world, based it on some legends he had grown up with, populated it with cultures and races such as Elves and Dwarves, and gave them each unique languages. And he wrote a story about one of the events that happened in that world. Nothing more, nothing less. That's actually one of the reasons I like LOTR so much, it's just a good story, you don't have to work at reading it. You can just spend time reading and re-reading each paragraph, so rich are the descriptions and scenery. Tolkien's work is "fractal"...every person in it has a darned good reason for being there and good motivations for taking the actions they do. From the green hills of Hobbiton to the cracked plains of Gorgoroth, the story just gets better and better as it goes on, and takes on bigger and bigger events. Damn...what a story it is. I have to read it again before the movie release forever changes the way I think about LOTR.
Yeah, right...no web designer ever got a bad referral for making a flashy site that was heavy on graphics, and future clients are definitely not impressed by simple sites with no features. What do you care more about, your next job, or some Arkansas hick using a 28.8 modem through a rural cooperative telephone exchange?
haha...you had a business, which had fired you, call you back to fix their critical emergency problem? And you agreed? Without charging them an arm and a leg for it? $400 bahahahaha....I wouldn't have gone in for less than $5000. They would have paid, too. They wouldn't have been happy, but they would have done it. And now you work retail? Gah. Oh, a hal-pc user. No wonder you're so clueless and straightlaced.
"Sega, known for its ``Sonic The Hedgehog'' game character"
Where has this person been living? I haven't seen Sonic for several years now, and frankly, I haven't missed Sonic, his sidekicks, enemies, rivals, or any of the other dorks from his cartoon show.
My favorite was one of the Zucker Brothers movies (Airplane, Naked Gun, Police Squad, etc). They took out ads in the newspaper quoting the negative reviews they had gotten. "Worst movie of the summer" --Gene Shalit, "Awful" --USA Today, "Stinks like an overripe cheese" --NY Times. Funniest and most effective thing I ever did see...I mean, if these guys hated it, it has to be good.
That's backwards...we should sue the Japanese for mangling our language beyond the bounds of good taste, for gross mismanagement of verb conjugation, and being involved in the propogation of an out-of-control meme that resulted in the consumation of terabytes of bandwidth.
Their punishment will be to supply every American geek with an I-mode phone, and one of those plastic jackets for his girlfriend (geeks without girlfriends will be supplied with an airdropped substitute kogyaru j-girl...see, both sides win).
Wealthy investors often have a portion of their funds that work towards issues the investor thinks is important, rather than simply chasing the highest resturns availible.
It doesn't matter if swap is on a seperate partition if you still keep using it for file storage instead of scratch space and memory paging. I think you have a fundemental mis-understanding of the way that/tmp works and what its purpose in life is./tmp is not for storing RedHat CD images. But hey, who am I to tell someone who has root on some x86 box running the latest distro of RedHat what generally accepted methods of system administration are. You guys have everything under control, right?
"pop-up window"? You seem to be confusing the world-wide web with the Internet. One is a minor subset of the other, they are not interchangeable synonyms!
By definition, space in/tmp may be wiped with no notice by system administrators. You'd be better off allocating less space to/tmp and more to user home directories. And you do know that when/tmp is full, you have no swap space? If all else fails make a/warez partition, set it mode 775, and put all users in a new group together.
I think that a quote from the article adequately explains why this whole mess came up in the first place. I'm sure the property owners would not have started an action like this on their own, without encouragement. Quoth the article:
"The attorneys will
take about 25 percent of the cash settlement and future profits as fees."
...um, cause ipf is for bsd? Linux users
have to suffer through whatever sh***y tcp stack L.T. and co. have cooked up lately.
IPF runs under HP/UX, Solaris, and Irix. I've only used the Solaris version, myself. Where did the linux comment come from? Nobody has said anything about linux.
I bought a Tadpole Sparcbook 3 a few months ago. It's nice enough, but the $8,000+ price tag (when it was new) ensures that only people who require one for their job get one. The metal exterior is nice...when it's in the closed position, it's an armored fortress. I mean, nothing can hurt it.
I agree with regard to the Compaq reliability issues...I would never recommend buying one for serious business use...and I'm from Houston. These new laptop things look rather flimsy.
Where would you put them, then? User's home directory is typically the only place on the system where the user may write to. This keeps everything clean and prevents users from trashing the whole system because of a misbehaving application. Contrast this with operating systems where anyone can walk up to the computer and, for example, delete all files (cough *WINDOWS* cough).
