Magazines are quite fashionable to leave around the office. They are not entertaining just for the subscriber, but also can lead to greater opportunities. A glossy magazine with flippable pages makes for a great physical medium to spread advocacy in the office. Its great leaving something in the office my boss and cow-orkers can read, kick their feet up, and ask questions about.
I suspect that this is merely to give them carte blanche to "kick ban" harrassing folk.
This gives me the power to harass any Sprint customer I don't like and have his/her account instantly removed any time I wish to fire off a letter to sprint's abuse account. Cool.
hjkl, where the right hand sits on a qwerty would be the cursor keys. Should a dvorak user remap the keys for all his software packages for every distribution that comes along?
Well, dvorak was fun for me, so its qwerty once again. My fingers travel more on the qwerty, but the world effectively discriminates dvorak users.
If you think that's funny, one person in Washington was actually sick enough to bookmark that picture (favicon.ico)
What could be more fun than pizza in space?

A pizza would be a fine food to eat in space too. It would fload and you could spin it just slightly, like a cdrom. All those colorful tasty toppings whirling around on a yummy disk saturated with rich, steaming pizza sauce. Break off a piece, munch it down, and grab another off the roatating work of art.
There might be a conspiracy theory behind this. Prodigy can also lose and form a partnership with BT. That would be a win-win situation as Prodigy would have BT eliminating Prodigy's competitors over this new precident.
What if the ISP's smtp server is hosed? I used to have cablemodem and the only thing that worked reliably was my pipe, not their servers. When they started caching web access, blocking smtp, nntp, that's when I went back to local dialup. No thanks to their overloaded servers my outgoing mail, web access, etc. would be blocked for days at times. I have better control over my own server and have the ability to blacklist spam to boot.
The new plant has shorter stacks which will concentrate the pollutants in the town even further.
What do you want, a purpose built power plant or lots of people running diesel fired peaking generators to satisfy curtailment policies that are a requirement of industrial surplus pricing? When you run a small manufacturing plant that requires 3 megawatts for continuous operations, shutting down during peak times is not an option as this causes lots of scrap for landfills. Peaking generators that keep plants running during blackout conditions are a magnitude more expensive and create local pollution right next to your back yard. They are used or many people wouldn't have a job.
The cost of electricity is a major cost in manufacturing plants. Expect jobs to move where electricity is cheap. Two power plants are under construction 20 miles from where I live. Property values have doubled each year for the least three years. If California does not open up new plants soon, expect a return to farming and desert life.
I love the sound of 2800 horsepower twin turbocharged CAT generators hammering the pistons away, but let's leave the job of power generation to the power companies.
VMS FUD? Whatchya talkin about Willis? How can you FUD a great machine like the VAX? Slashdot has had a few great articles on this legend. VMS, although different than UNIX in terms of syntax, was also a very reliable system used for much the same scientific purposes. For three years I was at my university, the only two times the VAX failed was when a garbage truck backed into the substation transformer or air conditioner failed. Despite its arcane syntax (cd == SET DEFAULT.[DIRECTORY]) it and the people who used it were great.
It was my understanding that personality tests, such as the MMPI were used to help diagnosis of family or employer problems. I doubt taking one of these tests would be helpful for employment purposes as the critiquing results these tests provide are prefect tools that can and will be used to discriminate for lower evaluations. In the course of evaluations, even the most favorable test results could be damning.
While such tests may be used to help one be humble, they can provide discriminating evidence. Its just like talking endlessly after an officer arrests someone and states the right to remain silent. These tests allow someone to talk so much and gives a powerful set of tools to the prosecution. Why volunteer irrelevant material when it has not direct advantage to your job?
I had a moment of silence and commenced a 21 ping salute in honor of his life's contributions to this world. The heavens acknowledged the pings. Its good to know Mike was there in spirit to hear our appreciation.
I have a $2.00 walmart booby trap epoxied in my computer with a heap of JB-Weld. Its a pull-string activated personal alarm that claims to emit a 130dB shrill. Very unpleasant when activated and cumbersome to access inside the computer. I glued to the base of the case next to the vents. My computer case is like most others: difficult and a pain to remove.:)
I can look forward to a thief driving away with my computer and getting a loud headache.
Other methods of making a computer resistant against theft is to paint it some god awful color, have parts of it missing, and cloning the appearance of your general purpose boat anchor. It takes a sick thief to steal a piece of junk rather than taking the eye candy next door.
I should mention that many thefts are from people who you know. Bragging about one's computer is a sure way to get annoyed friends deviously envious.
The webcams and the simple video frame motion checking updating a gallery of images to a remote site would be great if it also activates a pager. Imagine the alarm at home tripping and it pages me at work. From my office, I can check the remote site to see a chronological event of what took place and if the frames are still being updated. At that moment, I could give the police a very accurate description of what's going on or simply head to the house packing heat with the baseball bat in hand.
For the end user, the instructions are (copied from the actual sheet, all caps included:)
1. TO VOTE YOU BUST BLACKEN THE OVAL ( ).
2. USE ONLY THE PENCIL PROVIDED. Your ballot will be counted by an optical scanner. DO NOT use any other type of pencil.
3. DO NOT CROSS OUT - If you change your mind, exchange your ballot for a new one.
4. AFTER VOTING - Insert your balot(s) in this ballot sleeve so that the initial box appears at the bottom.

Too bad AOL's TOS isn't as braindead.
All windows development happens in Redmond.
But...
and could only have one cd to load a blank computer, what would it be?
Or the shortcuts for vi:

So many addresses, so many honeypots. And the signature of attacks. Do you feel lucky?
If I am elected president, every citizen will be able to afford a nuke for their household. Nobody should be denied...

7 yrs is too harsh. make the punishment fit the crime.
Cut off his hands?

Which direction does it flush south of the equator? Clockwise or counterclockwise?
[Bill Gates] should be thanked...
And the mafia should be thanked for their contributions to local communities. No thanks.
But sadly, ping (ipv4) will die soon too. Did he write ping for ipv6 also ?
May his IPV6 children live long and have fruitful productive lives.
May all your pings be answered.

I remember not too long ago (back in 1994) that Australia had a single 2MBs connection to the internet. Think they have it bad now?
Of course, that was back when people just used text email and used local usenet news servers.
In most states the act of burglary is a felony, regardless of the value of the items taken.
As defined in the state of Missouri:
Larceny - declared value less than $100
Grand Larceny (felony) - greater than $100
Steal a candy bar, get caught, go to jail. Steal a computer, get caught, go to jail and rot.

Next on the agenda: taxing the air we breathe.
