Check out the maxpoll option for your ntp client. It tells ntp the maximum number of seconds between polling the ntp server. Unfortunately, it runs by a power of 2, so setting a maxpoll of 12 will mean ntp only polls every hour. Setting a maxpoll of 5 will mean it will poll every 32 seconds. Useful if you have systems whose internal clocks suck (my IBM 300PL, which I have observed to actually start going backwards, instead of just being slow).
Theres a plugin now, mthtvstreamer?? that will let you stream your recorded shows via media player. So you can do it right now, without installing anything different on your windows box.
He didn't just beat a dead horse, he bought a stronger whip, changed riders, proclaimed "this is the way we have always ridden this horse," appointed a committee to study the horse, arranged visits to other sites to see how they ride dead horses, increased the standards of riding dead horses, declared that the horse is better, faster and cheaper dead, and finally, harnessed several dead horses together for increased speed.

Wow, that could totally be rewritten as: The American fanatics need to be stopped. They don't care about anyone but themselves. Everything they are doing is only hurting the Iraqi people.
I think a lot of the artists main objection is that it is being repackaged (resold) back to the original party as the same movie. If I produced a movie with all sorts of sex and guns and sex and more sex, and called it "My movie of sex guns and sex", I would want future generations to think of me whenever they heard that name. However, if they saw the CleanFlicks version of that movie (only 2 minutes long after all the parts edited out) they would assossiate that edited version with my title. Doubtful they would recommend it to any of their peers.
Now if CleanFlicks completely repackaged and renamed the movie before selling it back to consumers with a small caption at the bottom reading "adapted from original movie 'sex guns and sex' by xxx" I would be fine with that.
In our company, HP is also aggressively trying to get us to switch our support for our SUN E class from sun to HP. We are suspicious, and asking lots of questions like when the blame game begins, but so far all their answers are sharp and quick, and their price is better than Sun's. Our management is seriously considering this switch, so a move to support linux would be seen as a good thing for companies trying to get over this "open source" support model.
yeah...but he gave 1 million to help the poor, the tired and the sick, whereas he gave 4 million to India to fight linux. Guess which epidemic he was more concerned about.
We also know that its her ex-husband who actually runs the damn servers that do the spamming. I also wonder where she keeps her database, since its her most valuable asset. I say we should find out those computers, and use a trojan to find it and destroy it.
Sensiva does all that. You can program the gestures to input text. Nothing is cooler than having multiple term windows open, and cleanly logging out with just a slash.
Sensiva . It has a linux port (what more could you ask) but it is trainable. While the newest versions cost money, the earlier versions like 1.07 are free and have all the functionality. You can prolly find some of them roaming around the internet still.
I didn't think that gestures was all that great when they first came out. But after getting used to using them for web browsing, I wanted more for every application. Since then I've used Sensiva, and even tho I only use a few like minimize and new, I find that I am now handicapped when I use machines that don't have mouse gestures. Its so slow and cumbersome. Don't get me wrong, the keyboard is great for a lot of things, but I still find myself using the mouse, and a lot of the gestures can be done without moving my hands back and forth.
We just started using IM with our helpdesk folk. And I must say..it is one of the best things ever. Because when people are typing out a message, they actually have to think how to explain their situation, instead of saying "its broke". This usually leads to more descriptive problems and its much easier to fix.
IM is also good for multitasking. If I want to ask my co-worker a question, but have a million other things I can be doing, instead of dropping everything, picking up the phone, looking up his number (big companies its impossible to remember everybody's number) calling him, patiently waiting for him to pick up, going through the formalities of saying "hello, this is {...}", explaining the problem, and in the end having him say "Why don't you send me an email". Good grief, with IM I can immediately see if he's there, ask him a direct and simple question, and pretty soon an answer comes back.

You got them backwards.
a) less maintenance b) creates less shit c) less painful (to the other patrons of the park at least)

Seriously, everyone I talk to knows that postnuke (or even phpnuke) can scale easily. And then comes /.

Don't you remember the last Sasser worm? Virus writers have also stopped supporting NT
So, what would you call those people who defend inmates on death row, and get them acquitted of the charges?

One possible effect will be all those near misses and potential threats becoming reality.
