Then tell them what you have just told us, that after you buy the x-box, it won't be your hardware, it will still belong to Microsoft. If they seem incredulous, explain to them exactly how and why this is the case.
See how many of them actually buy the x-box after that. I'd be curious.
And see how many of them call the security guard instead.:)

Granted, the public site may not be linked to anything internal, but it's good that they changed the links from Niagara Mohawks site to the Google cache.
I've never responded to my own first post. Back in the Chips & Dips days, FP was cake.
Anyway, the amusing part is that CNN just made mention that some officials were looking into the "possibility that this may be due to a flaw in the Microsoft Windows Operating System".
"In Sweden, Internet provider TeliaSonera said about 20,000 of its customers were affected after the infection clogged 40 servers handling Internet traffic.
Among companies affected in Germany was automaker BMW, said spokesman Eckhard Vannieck. He said the problems did not affect production."
It has a pretty unique design in that the entire tail section flips up and acts as a sort of air brake, then flips down when G's are reduced and the atmosphere is dense enough to sustain controlled flight. Remember, this isn't expected to head quite out into the deepest darkest depths of space but to meet the X-Prize guidelines/rules.
If I remember coeectly, the SS1 was designed to handle an expected 5.5 G's or so upon "re-entry".
Besides Burt Rutan is a genius, so it has to work.;)

Is that anything like transexual paratroopers?
...to imagine a beowulf cluster of these.
Maybe your girlfriend is pretty serious about you getting a penis enlargement and some viagra. Ever think about that, smart guy?
Shouldn't you be evacuating or something?
Preferably one noticeably absent of acronyms.

STOP the Madness!
But.... I don't remember any client machines having a half gig of RAM in those days, although this was simply an early example.
More power to him though. He should be able to winnow this down to some simple test cases, and prove his point. Possibly even with earlier releases.

Shields UP!
Like, say... Build a Linux-based DVR (minus the HDD). OK. That won't work.
AC forgot to mention... Don't expect your Linux admins to understand (or even like) the VM person. ;)

I'm highly amused.
..You don't have to worry as much about port 135 being open.

Really makes you wonder who ain't sayin...
