Having done 1.5 years of 1st and 2nd level support in IT, I couldn't agree more. In many companies it's mandatory to do at least a few months in a call center so one gets in contact with the future customers and connects to the 'worker's league' before moving on to that management position. Heh.
Because colleagues complained about the incredible amout of time it takes when opening a large spreadsheet, I just recently did a performance comparision of different OpenOffice and NeoOffice versions on both OSX and Linux. The first thing I found out is that the newest Version of NeoOffice (at that time 2.2.1p1) is nearly twice as fast when opening a large and complex spreadsheet. The second thing: when the same spreadsheet is saved/opened as.xls it takes 50% less time to open !! I've spent years promoting Open/NeoOffice and always urged our employees to use open formats for their documents. - But how can you justify that when opening the same file takes twice the time despite it being in the native format of the application ??
What if you spread the watermark bitwise and randomly over the entire CD ? If you would use too many mp3s to generate the 'average CD' it would actually be the most altered mp3 of all that you can find on the web. And if the watermark is actually based on the destinctive distribution of these random bits you'd *still* be able to track what mp3 goes where...
Wow ! And after years of development, playing a.wav file if new mail arrives, still doesn't work.
But besides that, Mozilla is by far the best piece of software on my computer(s). - I've been using it since the early milestone releases (on Linux) and will be very sad once the Mozilla suite will be discontinued...
I did exactly the same for around 4 weeks. The only difference: I was working in a major irish airline company. (Now which on could that be ?)
I would have thought that they had increased security lately. - But obivously didn't.

Now try to build those on a molecular level and we're in the Diamond Age !

Please don't make jokes about that !
The last time my Protein Gel started bleeding it didn't stop. - What a mess !
Usually SP{n} contains all service packs up to SP{n-1}. So SP2 will include SP1 the same way as SP5 for NT4 includes SP1-4.
Hehehe. I'd find it quite funny. Maybe the case would be called Noerd ? ;-)
Please vote for this bug. - Would be really nice to have this fancy thing calles 'newmail notification' on OS X. ;-)

Actually those guys are from Austria (Europe).
The people here speak some funny dialect very much like German. - And they wear Lederhosen and just eat Schnitzel all day.
Over 4 CPUs ? Well at least SGI managed to run 64procs with a *very* reasonable scalability....
