I can't count the times that I've had to buy 3Com and Intel NICs to put in a server because Dell's onboard shit didn't want to work with our stuff.
Dell compatibility indeed.
Know your hardware. And for the sake of humanity don't buy off-brand stuff. Buy something tried and true, it usually only costs $5 more for a SB card than for "TIGER 3D PCI SOUND 2.0"
Apple mice are hardly cool...in fact they're a pain in the damn ass to use. If we're talking about the totally transparent ones which the whole top is a button unto itself, I wish for all of them to burn in hell.
Now logitech...that's a different story, they've always produced nice pointing devices.
900MHz cordless phones are more than sufficient for home use and I bought one to ensure that there isn't any kind of interference among my access points and my phones system. The only room for 2.4GHz "cordless" phones that I can see now is to set up an Asterisk box in your house and get a WiFi IP phone.
Unfortunately, I am only aware of these phones manufactured by Cisco...and Cisco can suck my balls.
Most CIOs that I've worked for have been fucking idiots and the same seems to be true where you're at. Hold out and start looking for another job where the CIO has a clue or isn't a bean counter.
Most GPS receivers are able to switch between metric and imperial modes...all the satellite does is send a timing signal which the receiver interprets according to it's relative doppler shift...the satellite does not transmit *your* position based upon its own calculations, the receiver performs these calculations and displays them in whatever measurement you desire
this being developed by Lucent several years ago, around the time that they just switched names from Bell Labs. I'd read about it somewhere on their website and never heard anything about it until now. It sure seems to have taken on a completely different form.
Why is this scary? So getting coordinates from some GIS software will be easier...yet I'm somehow forced to think that if someone is really determined to make an event happen, taking away that simple convenience won't stop them.
Terrorists hope to induce shock and fear in as many people as possible...I really doubt that this is going to occur by driving a bus into your Town Hall or Baptist Church.
Then only kinds of CDs I buy are classical compositions/performances/cd sets, jazz, blues and early rock. Unfortunately, the RIAA tries to spoon feed everyone...well, cram down our throats...this new pop stuff that sounds absolutely awful. Sure I hear something that sounds interesting on the rock stations every now and then, but nothing to really warrant buying the CD; it gets boring too quickly. Classical, jazz, blues...this stuff is actually GOOD and hardly ever gets old. Bach has been heard by the masses for the past 400 years almost, can we say the same about the Hanson Brothers, Milli Vanilli, or Paula Abdul? I know virtually no one who listens to these groups regularly, yet I know many people who will listen to Mozart or Beethoven.
We live in a society of disposable music, and our pockets are running out of money, yet the RIAA continues to expect us to fatten theirs. To hell with that. I'd much rather give Deutsche Gramophone my money than Atlantic Records.

haha, that's really funny

...which uses thermal noise and also the atomic decay from a Geiger counter, making true unpredictable random numbers.
unpredictable my ass...
people should let go of this "chaos" fad and move on

Because I hate people and I like my farm, which is why I don't live in any goddamn city.
Because this has no place in the classroom, that's why.
correlation != causation

You work at a large semiconductor company and your workstations don't have UPS's?

Well, I'd like to go and see the movie, but there isn't a theater within 50 miles of where I live that will show it.
:/
Sucks living in the buckle of the bible belt.
perhaps what we need is some Free Software using Institutes to come out against Windows and proprietary software.
Then Microsoft will bring up a lawsuit against them for defamation/slander/libel.
They're waiting for the year of the cock

The test was based on C++ for a lot more than 1 year...at least 3
We really didn't need to know about your father's ^H^H^H^Hwood...
It's not like they can't buy this shit fromthe Russians anyway...
I'm voting for warp drive on this one!
I like Ethereal as it's highly comparable to Etherpeek without the cost...plus it runs on Linux.
This is a really bad joke, you're a catholic, or just fucking stupid...
