I'm complained a dozen times about auctions like this where someone is selling material that obviously violates TSR's copyright. Yet the response every time is that the owner of the copyright has to make the complaint.
Georgia Tech's computer science program grew out of library science. It was the School of Information in 1963, then became the School of Information and Computer Science in 1972. (Now it's the College of Computing.) When I started there they were just phasing out a required library course.
Another one my chem teacher did was taking water and separating it into oxygen and hydrogen by using a battery and matching the terminals, then letting the hydrogen into a test tube and light it to make a loud "pop!"
I work with a guy that took this to the next level. He filled a milk jug. Burned most of his hair off.
When I was in high school, the (possibly urban legend) story told by our chemistry teacher was that a former student had stolen a small chunk of sodium from chem lab. He stuck it in his pocket, probably figuring he'd blow the toilet right out of his double-wide after school. Anyways, he goes to P.E. later in the day. Next period, he's sitting in history class or shop or whatever and he starts sweating in his jeans. Next thing he knows, he's on fire.
On 9/11, most of the guys I worked with got their news from cnnfn.com, Yahoo! India, etc. There were plenty of alternative paths to the online news on that day.
Whatever. This has to be about the third story to mention mini-itx. Every case mod story gets a dozen comments mentioning it as well. At least this isn't a just copy of yesterday's Yahoo! News.
In Slack, Tom DeMarco asked a project manager that was forcing overtime what he would do if overtime wasn't allowed. His response? "Well, we'd have to do something about all these meetings."
I just wrapped up a project with 60+ hour weeks for two months. Two days ago they laid off one of the guys that did 60-80 hour weeks for 8 weeks. Nice reward huh? Damn glad I'm a contractor. Overtime? Hell yeah.
If you don't already know who your first three customers are, you are not ready. Go get another job and build up your contact list. The first customer is easy. Not finding any customers past that first one is what kills independants and small companies.
Absolutely. This will be 1000 times worse than the Florida Aquarium, Tampa Taxpayer's Stadium, and the Tampa Bay Devil Rays combined. Nobody will ride it. Well, not nobody. But very few people. Tourists, not residents.
The problem isn't getting between Tampa and Orlando. The problem is getting from the rail station to where you need to go. Mass transit in Florida is nearly worthless to anyone except the poor or the martyrs. I can drive to work in 15 minutes, but to take a bus I have to walk/bike 3 miles, switch buses twice, then walk another mile. It's 2 hours each way.
I'm sure there will be Disney and hotel shuttles though.
The solution (if you refuse to finance and offer incentives for mass transit) is better roads. We still have plenty of clover-style on/off-ramps where onramp traffic has to cross over offramp traffic. We have way too short merge lanes at critical spots. Crap, we have a right-angle bend on a two-lane offramp that many drivers take at 50mph+. A gas tanker flipped and burned there recently, trashing the overpass for months. Do these engineers drive?
If we'd just yank the license of anyone with a 3" tailpipe on a Civic and blondes with BMWs, I'd shave 2 hours off my commute time every week.
I just want a tool that, when someone checks something in/commits, warns them when they are undoing the changes of the previous revision. How hard would it be to have something automatically diff the last 3 revisions and throw up a warning?
No, but this week we got, "how was your vacation?" To which the only proper response would have been, "it sucked ass you flaming retard, since we had to work almost the whole weekend after you laid off half the team halfway through coding."
I used to have a script that would play laugh.au on every Sparc in the lab down the hall. They'd all go a little out of sync. Very spooky late at night.
We once replaced someone's desktop wallpaper to one with a screenshot of the app he was debugging. He spent an hour trying to close it. Rebooted and everything. At one point he even said, "it's like it's part of the fucking wallpaper."
After a week in which I spent hours remotely updating apache and openssh on my colocated boxes, it's hard to get worked up about another Microsoft patch.

And use it to read Slashdot before posting duplicate stories.
Novell also offers a free email & directory service, MyRealBox, as a combination marketing and testing platform.

Does it have the Big Dig on it?

The intersection of the sets {AOL users, guys named Kip, actual inventors} is null.

Where's the dude that invented napkins on a roll?
Apparently not for webhosting.

Oh great. My Solaris 8 install just finished last week.

This brings up the interesting point of what Symantec will do about employing people with felony convictions. Anyone know what Poulsen is going to do?
