It's easy to talk tough sitting in our comfy little homes with no more worries than paying the bills or a parking ticket or two. You fucking assholes... you have no concept of your place in the world so you will learn nothing from this.
Stop right now and imagine a horde of federal agents busting down your door right this moment. Imagine it and then talk some more shit.
Tresco didn't want our pity, but I'm pitying all you blind fools who think this is some debate club pizza and beer night. This guy is going to prison. Prison. Let me say that a little louder
Hypodermics are annoying, but necessary, If your IT department is doing something poorly, this is no excuse to sabotage a real and necessary function.
If the marketing department keeps over-selling your product you don't cut off their supply or ask customers not to buy so much, you fix the supply chain.
I've spent far too many years fixing people's screw-ups because they were merely "annoyed". If I, your IT professional, screw up then complain to my boss. Make us be "creative", but I say the bottom line is that you have no choice. I'm paid to make that decision, you're paid to do something else. If my decisions are poor, I should be made to atone.
Simple.
Don't undermine your company by undermining your IT department. Help fix it.
When I mentioned the "power" argument, I wasn't talking about Fantastic Lad's post. I was talking about the argument that it's about teachers having power over kids. That's nonsense.
You mean.. -- There grammer and speling is getting werse then it was? No lye? Your kidding! What a compleet shock! And there being penilized for it? Oh how terruble! -- And, re: the "power" argument... yes, it is about power. If you are too illiterate to understand what the intelligentsia is talking about they will have power over you. You have it 180 degrees wrong. Have a look at this in the past. The Gutenburg bible being a superb example.
America is quickly putting into place an educational system which will be turning out a load of near idiots very soon. Yay for us...
errr.... just register a domain name and have it pointed (via your registrar's name servers) at your web server, then. You can't get around paying for a (real) domain name* and vendors like NetSol (or whomever) will allow you to point at whatever IP you want. You don't need to have your own DNS server for that (and you can't just fire up a ns and add any domain name you want -- it doesn't work like that). In fact, that will be more of a headache for you and a bit like setting up a telephone company just to service your home phone line.
* Well, OK, you 'can' get around paying for a domain name (just like you have) but you end up at someone else's mercy and it will not get you what you're asking for.
Maybe ad development is eating into site development time... hehe
As I click this article, what do I see?

You saw a previous show in the same 'series' with the same archeologist and same host. They also opened a sarcopogus on the previous show and showed video from the (lower-tech) robot that originally scoped out the shaft. That mostly involved a different site.
Sorry -- According to the one source no one seemed to bother with (Amphenol themselves) it is, as the coward pointed out, 'Bayonet Neill Concelman' and was named for Carl Concelman (and not Carl & Concelman).

Whew, boy... that sounds like a real convenience... a real time-saver too. Couple hours later and you're ready to watch! Of course, your wife has fallen asleep and it's time to take the fucking dog out to pee... but dmaned if you don't got you some lean DVDs!
Just close your eyes for the duration of the bullshit. Sheesh. Talk about your '30 pound sledge' solution...
Hey... wait a minute... You don't code for Microsoft, by chance, do you?
Which effin street would this be? The Street of Dreams? The Street of the Future? The Street of Absolute Bullshit? Or maybe The Street of Beta Testers Which You Don't Live On?
You wanna be journalists... then you wanna be the freaking Weekly World News. Make up your minds! This headline is blatantly and patently false.
How about "... set to hit the street" or something that, oh, say, resembles the truth?
This product has not hit any freakin street except the street of "you can't get it yet".
I love you guys, but that love was sorely tested today. Dammit.
I've been measuring my connection since reading this around 2am yesterday on the attbi site and so far I've kept speeds from.7 to 1.8 mbit/s downstream.
I think they're just covering their asses right now. Not that we might not really all get capped in the end, but right now I'm often exceeding this "cap".
My upstream tests are too scattered to deem reliable, but I've not exceeded 121kb/s yet as far as I can tell. Not surprising.
I noticed I was off line some time around 1am. I power cycled my cable modem, rebooted my router and when I checked back around 1:30am I was back online (the router/firewall is serving up DHCP). If you have a single machine, try restarting your cable modem and then reboot you computer (making sure you have it set to get an IP through DHCP).
Slashdot Mirror
argh! also slashdotted. hehehe
but thanks for trying.

...as it says so right in the first line of the article...
"New stuff has come to light... man..." - Jeff Labowski
...over-rated the ability to make the technology work properly in the first place?
*rolls eyes*
Intel was already doing it long ago. Hell, not even 'was', more like 'has' but that chip is not yet released.
...will be empty when I'm sacked.
I'll just hang out with all those mail carriers that the digital age got rid of. *smirk*
Does this mean that slashdot editors will start using proper grammar and spelling?
That's like asking if they'll stop sensationalizing the headlines. Riiiiight.... sure they will.
I'm going to go violate some laws of physics with some common household items now.
When I mentioned the "power" argument, I wasn't talking about Fantastic Lad's post. I was talking about the argument that it's about teachers having power over kids. That's nonsense.
Amen!

...it's Robot Fightin' Time!
;)
National Geo and FOX can pick up Battlebots and save a SHITLoad of dosh on the price of robots!
And maybe they can cut Carmen Electra into small pieces and shove her into the shaft once they find the fifth door and give up.
...they also spelled "sarcophagus" correctly...
oops...

Would that we all had a place where we could just ramble out loud about ourselves and get paid for it.
