...then, as Master's of the Universe, we'll experiment with creating life on other planets. We'll watch our new life forms develop and occasionally intervene. They'll worship us as Gods. They'll create great story books that tell others of our magnificent powers until one day when they too develop such powers... and the cycle repeats...
I find that certifications give me a goal and a learning path to follow. In my job, I may never explore some of the areas that I encounter while studying for a cert. So for me, certifications are just an additional motivator for improving my knowledge and skill. After I've learned everything, I might as well get the little piece of paper that says I know something about the topic. I don't see how it can possibly hurt to have a certification, other than the cost.
So what's Microsoft's motivation here? The buzzards are circling Sun now and they're no longer a serious threat. My guess is that Microsoft wants an ally that can slow adoption of Open Source Software. McNealy's comment about Windows and Solaris being the 2 top OS's and not knowing what the third will be shows an obvious dislike of Linux. But more importantly, since Sun does the majority of development on StarOffice, which becomes OpenOffice, Microsoft wants to put a stop to it because it has the potential to free people of the last major app tying them to Windows.
And they couldn't already do this by bringing in a laptop and plugging it into a network port? Or a USB thumb drive with a bootable Linux distro on it?
I love my MuVo.
It's small and works great with Linux. You can store any file on it, but only MP3 or WMA files show up in the song list. The MuVo NX and the MuVo TX look good too if you need more storage capacity.
Oooh... so maybe humans were originally on Mars... and they screwed up their planet with pollution, overuse of resources, etc., but managed to transport a few people to Earth to start over... And maybe we'll look to terraform Mars and move there once we've hosed this planet too. The cycle continues... Heh... yeah. Anyway, back to work now.

I highly recommend setting up the free tt-rss service. There's also a nice mobile client.
You can write a script in Python on your computer and run it on your phone (if you've got a Nokia, at least).
And any Android phone... http://code.google.com/p/android-scripting/
I can't fill up my 2 gigs on Gmail, nor my gig on Y! mail, why in the world would I need 30 gigs?
Maybe you need to use the Google Filesystem then...

Maybe a wireless KVM switch could be used with the computer locked in a safe somewhere. :-)

Heck, you can even write your own Unix operating system:

Well, these guys do...

Does anybody know how to say "shit" in 5-6 languages?

Now if they'd just upgrade the Messenger client for Linux so I could use the webcam feature without resorting to Windows.
First, download Mozilla Calendar
/var/lib/dav/lockdb
/var/lib/dav and /var/lib/dav/lockdb exist and have read/write by the Apache user.
Next, configure Apache 2 to use WebDAV to access the calendar from anywhere. Uncomment these lines in httpd.conf:
[IfModule mod_dav_fs.c]
DAVLockDB
[/IfModule]
Make sure
Add the following lines to httpd.conf:
[Directory "/www/mydomain/ical/"]
DAV On
[/Directory]
In Calendar, create a new calendar file, and point the Remote Server URL to:
http://mydomain.com/ical/foo.ics
Replace mydomain, the path, and the calendar file name with your
values. Check the "Automatically publish your changes..." checkbox.
Now you can access your calendar from anywhere.
Now if they'd just port Notes to Linux then I could switch the majority of my company's desktops to Linux.
I want my monkey man!
Perhaps this will hold you over in the mean time.
I've been using NTLM authentication in Firefox through our Squid proxy to the Active Directory server for quite a while now...
You could go one step further and get the IE theme as well.
I would be one happy camper if the Konq/Safari team would switch to Gecko as their rendering engine.
We could consolidate our efforts and make XUL a standard.
If you want to selectively run Flash content, then this is a good extension: FlashBlock
Hmmm... I wonder why they didn't create a page using XUL, like this page:
Google XUL
This has become my new homepage in Firefox, although I wish it was centered...
If you can afford hardware RAID, go with a 4-port or 8-port card from Adaptec.

I tried to install coLinux under VMWare (guest OS is Win2K) running on Linux, but it crashed VMWare...
