If you are writing custom scripts to do stuff like connect to servers automatically on bootup, then you are not in the majority of users who dont know how to move their stuff over from one computer to another, and are not one of the people being targeted with this product.
Well, they still sell a lot of coffee, so I'm inclined to say yes.:) They do sell other stuff in their stores but by and large they are still a coffee shop.
I hardly believe that safety regulations are there because the Big 3 want to keep the barrier to entry high for new cars. In fact, they dont want to see all those safety laws because they eat into their profit margins!! Anything that needs to be done in order to sell cars in the US (safety regs, etc) can be done cheaper by the newer, smaller asian car companies.
The barrier to entry in the automotive industry is high because of all the resources needed in research, development, manufacturing, etc, etc.
I used to feel the same way as you with regards to IDE burners. I had a Hi-Val 4x IDE CDR and it was the biggest steaming pile of crap I ever had the misfortune of using. I got sick of it and bought a new (at the time) Sony 8x SCSI burner, and an old Adaptec 2940 card a friend had. It provided me very good service over the last couple years.
Then, recently my CDROM decided to flake out on me. This was my 4rd CDROM (not burner) to die on me in the last 5 years. I will never ever buy one of those cheap crap (HiVal, Asus, Mitsumi etc etc) CDROMs or burners again. I decided enough was enough, so I replaced my dead cdrom with a 40/12/48 burner from Sony (IDE) for like $90 at compusa (I know i could get it cheaper but i wanted it NOW) and its been flawless for me under Linux and Windows.
So I took out my 8x burner and I use the newer Sony for my CD reading and writing instead of having seperate readers and burners. I'll probably sell the scsi 8x and scsi card on ebay, they've been good to me.:)
Bingo. But if you look at my list of Foes you'll see that guy and his other accounts and friends who mod each other up. Notice that they all post "funny" comments that get to +5 or they post blatant trolls. They *never* respond to anyones post. The obvious and true markings of a troll.
If you are in Atlanta, and you dont live in a box, theres no reason to keep dialup. Get DSL or Cable. I have Charter up here in Roswell, and its great.
I bet you could power a HUGE beowulf cluster (sorry had to) if only you could harness the gas from everyone eating taco bell. Now theres something to do if you have leftovers. Sort of a gas/electric hybrid, watch for Honda's next innovation. Should be interesting!
Thats not something people have to install, its something you can order from the phone company (at least in most parts of the US) It goes by names like Privacy Manager (I forget which telco calls it that)
I had it in Chicago, where SBC/Ameritech's piss-poor Caller ID didnt pick up many callers numbers and company's numbers, and so it worked like a charm. No telemarketers got to me.
Now I am in Atlanta and ordered the same type of feature, but BellSouth's caller ID service gets almost every caller's number, so they slip through this system and make my phone ring. Rather annoying.
It seems that I can't have the best of both worlds; Caller ID thats worth a damn, AND automatic blocking of telemarketing calls!;-)
Why, I even talk about a trip to the store, my new toy, my trip to Florida, its all pretty "mental". And if you click on my friend Brian's blog link you get the "masturbation" part too.;)
My fault for falling for that troll above. I read his posting history after I responded to him. Check out the other well-known trolls on his "Friends" list.
However, while it may be true that those wireless cards you mentioned dont work with the latest 2.4 kernel, I was referring just to the motherboard mentioned in the article. I'm well aware theres a fair bit of HW that isnt optimally supported under Linux, and some that isnt supported at all.
YEARS?! I'll bet you a beer that this motherboard is usable *now* in Linux, or will be with the next 2.4 release (which come out reasonably quickly, say every month or so). What do you think it has that you cant use under Linux today, with the latest 2.4 kernel?
Eminem wouldnt be in something like this. He HATES the file-swapping services. Look how much of a stink he made over his latest album being traded all over existance before it was even released. Sure, that could have been planned but I doubt it. Its not like he needs the extra publicity.
I bet its Jack Osbourne. Seems to be in a lot of other things these days, he could be the latest to try to cash in on the name recognition, just like Casey Kasem's kid doing the MTV countdown.
While I agree with your sentiment about things these days being overly condensed, I think its pretty valid that you should just detail your pertinent skills. A lot of these over-sized resumes had a lot of unrelated job experience and stuff that the applicant hadn't used in many many years.
I read in "Knock 'em Dead", a respected book for job-hunters, that you should only have one page for every 10 years of experience. That seems a bit light to me, but still, I stand by my "less than 4 pages" idea.

I've seen a growing trend on slashdot for people to do things such as call the person they're replying to "jerk", "ass", "jackass", "dumbass", etc.
In parallel with that trend are the number of posters who feel its a good idea to tell another poster to "shut the hell up".
Such bold-faced flaming is simply out of line.
Lets play nice.
