So what you two are saying is that the pole is made up of both CO2 and H2O? And that every article that comes out claiming to have discovered one or the other again, trying to cast doubt on previous claims of the contrary are full of shit? I wish science would quit playing the one-up-isms and leave the props to the homies in the hood.
And darn it, get rid of the "we want this because we had it in our 'old' system" philosophy. Consultants are constantly adding legacy items to new systems because the client insists that they must have something they had in their old system.
Good point, but I recently found myself saying just that for what I think is a very good reason. Basically what I'm going to be looking at is two functions merged into one in our new software. One step, I need to do my job. The second, I don't have the authority to do. The only solution provided as of yet is the old way. What can be so improtant you ask? Adjusting for lost or found components belonging to IBM by someone two heads above the bottom of the totem pole. That would be me.:) This is just of course anecdotal.
All the more reason to keep my '83 slant-6 on the road. Sure, I don't have air conditioning, power steering, power anything. But I know I won't be forced to incriminate myself with a little black box.

I guess I could have said it differently. But, my point was that this was so obvious that it didn't need saying, let alone an article written. I also hated to say because this fact, regardless of my intent, was going to add to my karma when I posted. Again with the moderation options, +5 Obvious. I also find it curious that no one thought that SCO might actually think IBM was going to give in. And as for my love/hate relationship with IBM, fuck Lou Gerstner and his cronies. And thanks for those prosperous years of employment.
Yeah, but odds are the last time it wasn't our fault. If we were to die off say today about 3PM EST, it'd probably be because of something stupid we did. Hell, with the odds being 50/50, I feel lucky. Vegas here I come.
I wouldn't even go as far as calling it philanthropy. I view it more as reparation or pentance. Let's face it. If I were god, I'd have flattened Redmond a loooong time ago. See you in hell billyg.
Buddhism doesn't place any expectations on anyone. It simply states for every cause, there is an effect. The expectation comes from the want of yourself and others. 'I want a new car. I'll have to earn money.' 'If I kick this dog, he may bight me.' Christianity on the other hand expects you to want to go to heaven. And gives you a condition under which you can get there. The point of Buddhist enlightenment is to free yourself from want. Whether you WANT this or not is your problem.
If you're really feeling ballsy, tell them that you work for you, not them. You are there for YOUR benefit. I personally try to do work of good quality because I like things to be neat and orderly, not because some middle management dork said it's what HIS boss wants. This is also because I'm inherantly lazy and would prefer to get things done right in the quickest way possible, so I can get back to reading Slashdot. I'm sure nearly everyone here knows what I mean when I say 'Office Space.' There's a reason we all love that movie.
Perhapse she's just trying to be a vehicle for your karma. In her view, assuming she's Buddhist, you deserve what you're getting. I know you're probably just trying to be funny, but I've heard their 'apathy' described better as 'a healthy detachment.'
Sports games make absolutely no sense to me. People play FPS games because it's illegal or too expensive to shoot people in real life, or RPG's because there's no such thing as magic. But sports? Someone please explain this to me.
You see, that is how it works. They wave a giant banner saying, "Hey look at our secret stuff over here!" Just like Area 51. They talk about it all the time. Now what I'm REALLY interested in is Area 52! Bet they got some really cool space crap over there.
Make the school football team guard the place. Make it mandatory so they can actually earn their degree. At least that way they can say they worked in networking.
Ok, ok. It's 89% of the universe is missing. Still doesn't keep my coffee warmer longer, or make my breath minty fresh. And what about those missing socks?
I would assume that as a university, you function as a mini-ISP to the students who pay for it by way of computing fees and tuition. Since the P2P companies can no longer be held liable for the clients content, and the courts have ruled against Verizon as far as providing assistance in identifing certain copy right violators, simply call the RIAA's bluff. Tell them to leave you alone, unless they plan on filing suit against the individuals and require they get a court order for the information.
How about a Civ/Sim type game where you rebuild Baghdad. Manage the building of new hotels, government buildings, markets... If the Iraqi's get out of line, send in more troops and what not.

I don't find it ironic that someone who studied rhetoric posted something that they themselves considered redundant.

Better yet. Why doesn't the ADA sue the lawyer for implying there is something wrong with being a dentist?
Take off every 'SCO'
For great justice
If I had mod points left...
You forgot two things.
5.5 Microsoft buys a license from SCO.
9. ???
10. Profit!

That's hardly artificial.

I hate to say this, but who actually thought IBM would give in to this undersized bully?
I thought the quickest way to become a supervillan was to send out SPAM.

BTW, love the name. My dog's name is Seamus.
