Here in Boston we have a Nuclear Reactor that is almost in downtown Boston:MIT Reactor
Technically, it's in Cambridge where MIT's campus is, but it is in Greater Boston. Also, seems like some residents in Cambridge ate a little annoyed about it. I can't wait for the big MIT student's prank (or hack) where they fake a meltdown...
Linux: Mobile Phone with PC pecking Linux 2.6

Looks like the Nokia "Superdick" Communicator, but is a little PC with GSM, GPRS, IrDA, Bluetooth, WLAN -- you name it, entering Linux 2.6/Qtopia! Sorry dripps like the page is in German only." There are also versions based on the same hardware but running Windows CE and Symbian.
I heard the speech, Martin Fink said it was his opinion that there were too many licenses and not OSI's opinion. I don't remember him saying that OSI would do this, but as a member of the board of OSDL he would be asking them to do so. I think the article explains it better than either of the articles posted above.
Now before people starting giving out about the Fink, he is one of people who got HP to start supporting Linux (and especially Debian). And has done a lot of evangelical work for Linux, Open Source, & Free Software.
He also talked a little about software patents, and how that even if one disagrees with them that one still need to pay attention to them. And that it's not the fact that one has patented something, but what one does with a patent that counts. Only problem with this is that any of us came up with a great software patentable idea, we probably couldn't afford the fees involved in patenting something and then allowing free use of it.
Fink is the head of Linux services at HP, he is also VP or director at OSDL, see his bio at the Linux Expo site.
>Just hang up on them the moment you realize what is going on. You both will be better off.
Actually you won't. If you hang up you will be put back into the call queue and they will call back, and they will keep calling back until you tell them not to.
The best thing to do, is sign up for the "Do not call list" (Google & you'll find the website). And tell any telemarketers who do call to not to phone you again, and to remove you from their list.
If that doesn't work and they keep phoning back, ask to talk to a manager, if that doesn't work you'll need to complain to your State Attorney General's office (you'll need detail of the company that's been phoning), and complain to the BBB.

I went to a State College in Mass, and the foreign students paid 3 - 4 times what domestic students paid. Plus out of state students paid double what Mass students.
How do you think they got 58 Billion in the bank? Because MS is currently a Monopoly. If you've ever read up on your market economics you'll now that in a fair competitive environment companies profits are so slim that they would not be able to build up such cash funds.
'Do not pull pages until after the printer has finished its job'
That's not really silly or stupid. Why? Because many people may not have used printers before. I've seen people yank the pages out when they're in a rush, and at college in a CS lab people would do just that.
It would be silly if it said something like:
"Don't insert parrot into paper tray without defeathering".
Or
"Don't use on beach without drinking a Corona first"...

Oops, misread. Thought you said "my friend is a boss of a...".
Still I wouldn't work for this guy. And tell him those 2 year C++ programmers he hires, that your not working with them.

I normally would not give a reply like this but, so let me apolgise in advance, sorry:
(Rant mode begin)
He's a f**king, stupid manager idiot, who's probably risen to the level he's at because he can talk the talk (but not walk the walk). Ever hear of the "Peter Principle"? This manager has risen to his level of incompetence. He's exactly like many of the tech managers at the huge financial company I work for. They have not a clue, about technology, about managing, about coding...
(Rant mode end)
Sorry for the rant. This guy might be your friend, but don't ever work for him. Just reading UR posting set me off cause I have to deal with moronic tech managers who just don't have a clue about the project (or staff) they manage. It sounds like your friend may be the same.
Best O' Luck!

Maybe it's time to get off-planet for this gig!
Disaster Area
Disaster Area, a plutonium rock band from the Gagrakacka Mind Zones, are generally held to be not only the loudest rock band in the Galaxy, but in fact the loudest noise of any kind at all. Regular concert goers judge that the best sound balance is usually to be heard from within large concrete bunkers some thirty-seven miles from the stage, while the musicians themselves play their instruments by remote control from within a heavily insulated spaceship which stays in orbit around the planet - or more frequently around a completely different planet.
Their songs are on the whole very simple and mostly follow the familiar theme of boy-being meets girl-being under a silvery moon which then explodes for no adequately explored reason.
Many worlds have now banned their act altogether, sometimes for artistic reasons, but most commonly because the band's public address system contravenes local strategic arms limitations treaties.
This has not, however, stopped their earnings from pushing back the boundaries of pure hypermathematics, and their chief research accountant has recently been appointed Professor of Neomathematics at the University of Maximegalon, in recognition of both his General and his Special Theories of Disaster Area Tax returns, in which he proves that the whole fabric of the space-time continuum is not merely curved, it is in fact totally bent.
Interesting way to manage files. But I think psdoom is much more fun:

I wouldn't trust Dell or their shippers to get the laptop to you in before U leave NYC. What you could do is check out local branches of national chains stores in NYC for a (non-Dell) laptop. U can check prices before U leave the UK and figure out which stores to try. Some suggestions are:

If you buy something there is a 2 hour limit (unless you buy something else).
I've been to many a place in both Boston/Cambridge & Dublin, that won't let you stay more then 2 hours unless you purchase something else.
Be seeing you.

Sounds like you didn't look at the pictures?
There are NO silhouettes in the pictures, just a little blurryness where the child edited out and replaced with a interpolated background.
