why are you hiring number 1 when you clearly believe number 2 is more likely to meet your needs?
That is a non sequiter. Creative is does not mean "likely to meet your needs." Clearly the people polled felt that the first candidate in suit and tie was more likely to meet their needs. Most employers are looking for people who will sit down and do the work. They need very few creative employees.
they need to make it available as the Windows competitor
If Apple became a direct competitor Microsoft would crush them. Microsoft has shown that they will use agressive, dirty tactics to crush competitors. Apple needs to remain an alternative with a small market share. In the future this won't be true. Microsoft will fail and Apple will hope to capitalize then.
Simple compressed air can be safely used to about 200ft/60m depending on your factor of safety. (While air is safe, it is safer to dive on mixed at that depth.) So called technical divers will use tri-mix which is air mixed with O2 and Helium. To reduce the risk of decompression sickness (the bends) and extend dive times some divers will mix oxygen with air. This form of enriched-air is often called nitrox.
Stops every 15 feet are not required. I suspect that you are thinking of the recommended 3 minute (or more) safety stop at 15feet/3m. It is not a "required decompression stop."
A quick solution would be a chron job to periodically clear the executable flags of all files in the home directories.
But what does that accomplish? (other then breaking legitimate executables?) The above examples with/bin/sh and/bin/ld-linux.so.2 do not require an executable flag on the trjoan.
I am sure NT has been ported to a lot more architectures
The original version of NT was targeted at Intel's i860. There were versions of NT for MIPS, Alpha, PowerPC, and x86. I don't recall if support for MIPS and PowerPC was dropped before or after NT 4.0 was released. Later service packs only supported Alpha and x86. The NT kernel was designed from the begining to be portable.
Despite all the bellyacheing the NT kernel was well designed and is good solid code.
A claim of FUD used to be a very serious accusation. It was meant to counter act some of the subtle marketing that the big players were pushing. FUD goes hand in hand with vapourware. FUD is all about promissing that a company's future product is better then a competitor's product. A common claim was that a competitor's product had no future. A important part of FUD is that it is difficult or impossible to varify a company's claim.
Now FUD is claimed by any 13 year old fanboy who does not like a negative comment about their product of choice. A claim of FUD has become no better than true marketing FUD.
1) you have no idea how much testing Sarge has actually undergone. For all we know only 5% of users are using Debian/Sarge on a regular basis. While in theory any package in Sarge should have gone through two weeks of Sid testing first, there have been bugs in Sarge packages.
2) Sarge may be the best release ever, but have you tested it in your environment? Is the new version of an application going to be able to import your existing data?
Regardless of the quality of the software a new release must always be tested first.
There are over advantages to createing pressure below the elevator. It is easy to crate higher a higher pressure then create a vacuum. It would be possible to store up pressure that could be used for several lifts. For example a 4 foot wide cicular elevator lifted 10 feet (about one floor) would displace about 120 cubic feet. A large scuba tank stores 120 cuft of air (at 1 atm) compressed to 2700psi (185 bar). Much larger (non-scuba) air tanks with a 5000psi (345bar) working pressure are readily available, and could power many trips without the use of a loud turbine. Vacumm by contrast can't be as easily stored. I would also think that it would be easier to control the pressure under the elevator when lifting and lowering. It should be easy to gently raise and lower the pressure allowing for soft accelerations.
The only downside to generating pressure is that the tube would have to be stronger. The doors would be a little tricky. With vacuum you can make simple self sealing doors. I am guessing this is the reason vacuum was used. It is probably easier to build.
The only problem with this is that the nice 19 process will trash the CPUs cache. Even if the process is very low priority context switches are still expensive.
Microsoft reported a revenue of $37 billion ($37e9) for 2004. IBM reported a revenue of $96 billion. Of that $15b is directly from the software division, and $46b is from the global services division. MS may think they own the market, but IBM knows where the real money is.
I have the first and second seasons of the radio show. The first is the best. The second season is still good. I will be getting the third and forth once I am able. The radio show is at times very different from the books. This is a little off putting at first.
I agree, but I don't think American authors are to blame. I think that it is the publishers. In the past publishers would print the drek in order to support the printing of good literature. Now like much of the entertainment industry the book publishers are not interested in anything other then a solid money maker.

If we do the same calculations for the earth using iron as the dominant element, we will find that there are approximately 2e11 atoms in the earth per ipv6 address. Or about 17 picograms per ip address. There are alot of ipv6 addresses.

In my experience you can stream 128kbit/s on a 256kbit/s link if a large enough recieve buffer is used. You can almost stream 196kbit/s reliably.
