Nah, they're scientists...having a non-degreed person in the lab touching the computers would be horrifying, especially one that demands any kind of professional respect.
The first time I clicked "submit" I got the "whoa nellie, slow down" message, which was strange, since I didn't qualify for that. Slashdot editors *always* say, "I wish I had this at my house" etc etc etc.
doesn't that make you a PC cluebie too?
Ha! You admit it. Touche! Nah, I used to be, many years ago...the last time I read Tom's Hardware was when I shopping for an AMD 233, which was the second-to-last PC I ever bought.

Tom's hardware? ISO images? Slashdot? Talk about a dead giveaway of the PC cluebie...sure, I guess we'll stop development of new fiber technologies until you can view your damn websites faster.
There are those of us who use the internet for real work, you know. This fiber stuff has zero to do with the "last mile".
Nah, the Japanese haven't been perfecting anything since 1989 or so...the one-invincible juggernaut ran into a ditch long ago. Their economy is actually contracting, they are experiencing deflation, and I would not be surprised at all to see an IMF bailout in the next year or two.
...and you have proof otherwise? For God's sake, Universities still have professors who are admitted Marxists...about as relevant today as the Whig party. I myself do make a distinction between a scientist/researcher and a professor, though.
Yeah, right. Backbone providers' idea of a "redundant" circuit is two fiber lines in the same conduit...completely worthless when a backhoe digs up the line and severs it.
I wouldn't call Mir an unmitigated disaster, but the Russians were certainly taking funds marked for their part of the International Space Station, and spending them on keeping Mir up. Now that Mir is down, maybe the Russians will start producing their space station components on-time again.
I never heard about the cosmonaut dying due to a fire in space - references, please?
USB working in Windows 98? You mean when Bill Gates plugged in a USB scanner into a PC running Windows 98 in front of thousands at Comdex in Las Vegas, and instantly got the Blue Screen of Death and had to reboot?
Joe's Apartment?? Ugh, I can't believe I actually paid to see that in a theater. I've successfully repressed my memory of that incident until now...thanks.
On the bright side, the special effects in Joe's Apartment were done by the guys who used to program all the games for the Intellivison.
Dividends are not what stock trading is about...buy low, sell high. If you're going to buy stock for dividends do like my grandfather and buy General Electric stock and then sit on it for 40 years.
It has nothing to do with the brand of network adapter, but rather a network protocol, BOOTP. BOOTP allows a diskless client machine to
discover its own IP address, the address of a server host, and the name of a file to be loaded into memory
and executed. See RFC 951 (1985) and the Diskless Nodes HOW-TO if you want to know how to implement this under Linux.
Don't have a hissy fit. The skills kids need to learn in school have nothing to do with particular brands of software. Kids take a long time to grow up and enter the workforce...ten years ago you would have been screaming for your kid to learn WordStar or WordPerfect under DOS, and look how relevant experience in those are now.
The fact that they're even running fingerd in the first place is a bad sign. And as far as the password goes, you realize you are committing a crime, right? If you are caught, and if you start using this password you will be, you will be suspended, most likely arrested, and there will be a slashdot story on how you were oppressed by the evil school administration.
Whoops, I forgot, all good Americans have the necessary background to qualify for credit cards, and prefer to use them whenever possible, even for ridiculously small purchases. Only criminals use cash, especially suspiciously large denominations like the hundred. Most Americans have never seen or held a $100 bill, except that time they made a withdrawal from that ATM in Las Vegas.
Not to be a republican at twenty is proof of want of heart;
to be one at thirty is proof of want of head.
-Francois Guisot (1787-1874), French monarchist statesman under Louis
Philippe
"If you are not liberal when you are young, you have no heart. If you are
not conservative when you are old, you have no brain."

That being said, these "independent" media people are just biased media, only biased in a different way they think is good. They'd never, for instance, report on the positive effects of globalization (lack of wars, for example).
I haven't seen anything about the wire services. When everyone speaks of the huge number of news sites, they don't all write their own news. This would require far too much effort. They just subscribe to the AP or Reuters news wire, and print what comes in. You can read thirteen major newspapers and thirteen major news sites, and they'll all have the same article about the violence in Indonesia, or the President's budget proposal.
It's really easy to get a "5" by intentionally posting something you know people will moderate up...you know, pandering. I might even make a comment about Demosthenes here if I were pretentious and wanted to be moderated up.

Dice? Isn't that known as 'rollplaying'? I mean, if you're such a stickler for 'true' RPGs.

Oh yeah...labor unions will save us. Talk about the cure being worse than the disease!

How are the consultants that manage the school district's IT resources going to make a commission if the software is free?
