The point here is that it matters not who made what I buy. It matters who is going to support it when it breaks. Dell services what they sell us, I don't give a shit if Quanta makes it.

There is also a point after which keeping an old SGI isn't worth the cost of space, power and upkeep.
And that point comes precisely 4 days 7 hours and 29 minutes after unpacking and turning it on.
Daniel Isaacs the Sysadmin? From what Ive heard you should probably be sympathizing with the Sith.
I thought I knew who you were, but you haven't posted on any of the Star Trek threads. And the only C++ whores that I know don't frequent/. So I don't think you are a friend IRL. A UBB/YaBB aquaintance? AC?
Unless you've mistaken me for someone else. That's possible. Drop me a note, I'm easy to find.
I dont know about anything else, but the nautical charts put out by the Canadian and American hydrographical services have corrections for this. I would think that any topographical map that had a magnetic north pole would have corrections for the change too.
True, they do. But that difference is what's changing. Thus the printed maps will be out of date
Interesting you refer to it as an art. My view of SA is that of a craft or trade.
In any trade or craft, when it is done well it is indistiguishable from art.
There is a reason the Jedi appeal to us generally. We've been down the path of the Master and the apprentice. We appreciate wisdom. And we practise a largely misunderstood, but vital craft. The sympathies are numerous.
"Set up the "filters" not as filters that block the person but as flags that flag the IT staff regarding potential illegal use. The IT staff could then investiage and initiate a "three strikes" scenario. Strike one- warning, strike 2- docked pay, strike 3- no more internet access no way no how."
Screw notifying the IT guys. That's an HR job. I want no part of it. Let the guys that chose "business" and drank too much in college be hated and vilified. I'd like to be able to eat lunch with the people I work with and not have them be careful about what they tell me. When they come back with 4 hand grenades and an uzi, I'd rather not be the face of the Oppressor.
"Gee, don't Linux file systems need to be defragmented periodically too? Funny you brought that up."
Ah. A young one. How about a little history lesson? See, back in the 90's when MS released Windows NT and it's new filesystem (NTFS), they claimed it would never need to be defragged. They overstated it's ability, to put it mildly.
"I'm curious where your sister goes... because I want to transfer. Here at Tulane, I believe OfficeXP pro is $199 (maybe $149... I don't use it so I haven't looked lately). The educational discount is good... but never THAT good."
Bowling Green State University. I know Office 2K was only ten bucks to cover the cost of the CD. I presume (perhaps incorrectly) that XP is the same way. It was part of the deal that the University arranged with MS and other vendors. I know a few other schools at least that are like that.
If my younger sister is more inclined to purchase Office XP than I was to copy the Office 97 CD from the IT dept, it's because she can get it for 10 bucks at the bookstore. I didn't have that option.
Mea Culpa. I'm a dumbass. Those are the prices for the Treo, which I read moments after the RIM stuff, and confused the two. Cnet says: (at the bottom of this article.)
"The new BlackBerry is expected to sell in the neighborhood of $499, plus monthly network fees of about $40 depending on use. This compares with the Treo at about $400 plus monthly network charges, or $550 without. "
Anyone know the ballpark price for these? I am not going to call an AT&T rep to ask. Is it $200? (probably not) $700? It isn't the most elegant looking device, but for the right price, I would get one.
Try reading the linkage. $399 w/ service activation (Cingular or VoiceStream) or $549 without new service activation. This is likely to be a bit les for volume.
Talk to your IT Manager and see if you can talk him/her into beta testing the devices before they start popping up in VP's hands. That's how I got my Blackberry;)
While the States are prosecuting, this is being done in a Federal Court. I think the Federal Court ought have jurisdiction over the constitutional issues raised in the petittion for dismissal. Would one of you Lawyers care to explain the basis of thier claim for us?

Yeah. Right after you mentioned it.

Can you imagine a Beowulf cluster of DOE Science Grids ON WEED?!!!!
perhaps we are friends, in an internet kind of way
;)
Can't be. I'm not an 11 year old boy, and this isn't AOL.

Sysadmin Talk [sysadmintalk.com] is a forum for sysadmins. Still a small community since its relatively new, but it has potential.
:)
You mean of course that it was once a small community, but has 2,000 new members today for some reason.

Yeah, I'm at the cap too. Have been since they put the cap in. Trouble is, it was so much fun gettting to the cap, that is' hard to stop. :)
When I was using BeOS on a regular basis, I would just turn oneof the CPUs off when it got too warm. God I miss that OS.

Thus the +5 Funny.
I'm told this file system won't need to be de-fragmented.
Oh wait, that email was 7 years old.
Steve Jobs is protesting the results.

I'd like to know who will be representing Linux at these meetings. I think I'm busy that week, so someone else will have to go.
They did. They lost. They fight on.
