The Domain Name System works by sending out a verified master list to other servers on a graduated time scale. This way no one, two, or twelve servers gets nailed with lookups from THE ENTIRE INTERNET....
Those Primary and Secondary DNS number you're asked to enter when doing network setups are for the partial copies stored on the (insert any number of levels) nth server from the master.
If it can't find the match on one of those, it'll ask others, until a timeout occurs.
There is nothing to stop you from setting up your own DNS, if you're willing to donate the time and hardware to the cause.
From what I've seen in real life, if the sales lizard has this attitude at the START of a conversation, sweet reason will rarely make any sort of positive change.
And yes, I've been (and still am) in management, I've done the salesfloor (seven years in retail, three in industrial).
The way to encourage staff(remember, their actions reflect on the company)to keep up this sort of attitude is to not give feedback. Personally, (no suprise) I welcome feedback from my customers.
Do you really think this sales staff member realized the error of his ways that night? Or that she might mention it in a wider setting (like this one)?
Show them your cognitive abilities by calling for the manager and pointing out that he's just lost a customer due to the reptile's inept turn of phrase.
I love it when a sterotype bites someone on the ass.

They based it on a real life weapon: The Davy Crockett nuclear tactical weapon.
The thing was launched from a jeep, or a bipod, and had a Dial-a-Yield warhead.
Its blast and fallout radius was larger than its launching radius:)

Likely coined after they found out about the Davy Crockett tactical nuclear warhead. Dial a yield, with a fallout greater than its launching radius (those whacky Army types):)
I too, loved Paranoia. Still have (alas, not the originals) the game books on the shelf.
Heh. I remember that crash (shows you how old I am). I remember the newspapers reporting the location; I (being a science geek) wanted to have a Mark I Eyeball look at the debris.
I've been told that Firemen in Roman times did just this. The main job was to head to burning (or soon to be) properties and convince the owners to sell out cheap:)
In addition, I've now time to lessen the crushing workload I've buried myself under. I'll take a moment tonight to celebrate, but for now, I'm working away:)
You must be looking at the B-Y section. At the front end, blue is the weakest.
The breakdown of a RGB system at the Camera end is as follows:
R 30% G 59% B 11%
This is the ratio needed to produce a "daylight scene".
Now, this "Y" matrix is used in broadcasting, and in component signals, it isn't matrixed, but the formula remains the same.
At the transmitter, the "Y" matrix with the values above gets (insert technical wordings roughly translated into meaning "converted/mangled") to actually show the blue as the highest amplitude, when in reality it's the one we care about the least.

NTSC is National Television System Committee, and they've lots of pretty pictures of this topic (and many more I've spent years attempting to forget).
NTSC transmission is an analog system, and does indeed suck; the Phased Alternate Lines (PAL) and Sequential Color and Memory (SECAM) standards are superior (if still analog). If you read through any TV theory textbook of how it's implemented in its entirety, and the way it's applied in real life, you'll owe yourself a drink afterwards...
Taking company policy from peons in the service department...is not responsible reporting, nor is reporting on company policies that have been outdated by 6 months to a year.
Those "peons" are the DIRECT link between Company Policy and the General Public. They don't go to work and make up the rules, they are given it. The policy isn't outdated if the FRONT LINES of company representation are still quoting it..
The paper, all other "slanting" aside, would be completely correct in publishing a first hand, documented call that said the same thing as this tape did.

Usually, fast moving aircraft dissipate the charges incurred via "bleed" devices attached to the trailing wing surfaces, and other areas.
Indeed.
A very long time ago (she no longer posts these notes), I was searching Google for Webmastering Tips.
I was blown off my chair when one of the top ten searches was a porn star, giving out Photoshop and HTML tips.
Thanks for the links!
I LOVE the Antiqua, but at over 90 000 bucks, I'll pass *whimper*
I'll bite.

There is that, indeed. What a world, eh?
True enough. The common stereotype got that way from a grain of truth, to be sure.
Very good :)
I'd mod you up if I had the points.

Wrap Up of the Case
Nice. Thanks for the link.
Yep. Me thinks this would get old, really fast.
Very nice. That's a decent link! (referring to his detailed description of his model vs Seg's)
That's interesting.
I also think that image has more truth than fiction: It depicts an ignorant savage destroying a useful tool with brute force.
Actually, you can pick your choice of OS!
Your suggestion is worth remembering; that has to be the BEST I've seen yet :)

Biased News for Nerds, indeed
Funny you should use firemen as an example.
