This is a multi-use room? I thought that the dining/living room or den/playroom was as far as that went!;)
Most people sit in front of a television in order to vegetate with Trading Spaces or Everybody Loves Raymond.
How many of those people would enjoy clicking, typing, scrolling, reading, clicking some more, waiting for pages to get served up, 404s...all while sitting in a Barcalounger that really isn't suited for mousing and typing.
Maybe the public would like to be able to search for that MASH episode where Hawkeye ad-libs the whole show every once in a while,but I don't think it would happen very often.

Well, they wouldn't sit in one spot with a big catcher's mitt out, snagging the satellites as they pass by.
Satellites move fast, the tugboat would need to be moving at the same speed as the satellite.
And in the same direction
Was it just me, or did anyone else really, really expect Jimmy Bond to come out with:
"Of all the three geek friends I have known, these geeks were the most...(gratuitous shatnerian pause)...human"
yeah
He still wants those, right?
You can reduce some requirements by installing the pre-compiled version.
Check out the mailing lists first. The upgrade
procedure will damage your system. New installs
are ok.
Dan Robbins has posted to the Gentoo mailing lists
with the message not to upgrade until the
developers resolve the problem.
The article starts with:
"Robo writes:"
Sitescooper is an obvious choice for geeks.
An open-source Perl program, it has plenty of
pre-made sites to use.
Output can be html, or piped to the converter of
your choice. (ISilo for me.)
Eve characterizes Phillip Greenspun as being victimized by the evil VCs.
But according to her story,he was victimized to the tune of 7.6 million dollars from a company about to go fuckedcompany? Not so bad.
His story (see link above from solman) doesn't mention money changing hands, so what do you believe?
He is a "Head Executive". He therefore is not expected to know better about anything to do with technology.
So he has immunity from firing for stupid, wasteful things like this. But he could be fired for parking in CEO's parking place.
It is about money, advertising, and taking performance enhancing drugs. Payoffs, bribes, sexual favors, and professionalism.

And then a Beowulf cluster...?
Alan Cox works for AOL?...Dude! You've got patches!
All I can think of for a reason for AOL to buy Redhat is that they need new group of employees to pit against "those damn Winamp guys."
In Pine?
Or my "Buddy List" in BitchX? That's just not right.
Also not right is:
"We'll just download the changes to the user's hard drive when they log on. No, we don't need to tell them a thing."
Or "Just re-configure all network settings.They really just want AOL."
How many people would really want to do this?

Dean Wormer may work there, though.
"She'll pay attention to this."
How about a Beow...oooh...floor pie!
I would rather put up with carting around my Vx than give up the daily snarfing of news with Sitescooper.
Wristwatch-sized seems too small to read anything but minimal text.
Which is a shame because Hammett is very worthwhile.
You could make an argument that *every* tough detective character written today comes from the Continental Op.
I don't run XP, but an office mate near me does.
He and I seem to show up for work about the same time and leave work at about the same time.
So do I have some kind of Buckaroo Banzai living 53 minutes in the future thing going on? Do ya think?
"Spits up" might happen at the end of "sucks"?
Really? 300 people have been working on a product that doesn't sell? I can't blame them for layoffs, just overhiring.
