Beat the rest of the slashdotters in getting the movie from the homepage.mac.com site! Then I will rule the geek universe with my advanced knowledge of everything and anything that is Trek related! That will obviously make me have more sex appeal with the ladies, just like Cpt. Kirk!
You're either "FOR copyright facism" or "AGAINST censorship." I think I'll choose against censorship.
I think we've had more than enough puritanism. If you don't want your kids to see violence or sex, don't show them the bloody movie. Read them a book or something. Or would that be too much work for parents?
I've been working as computer support for a large state university for over a year and a half. Tomorrow is my last day. I'm leaving to go back to school full time. Why am I quitting?
My pay is 25-35% lower than people with my same job in the private sector. And there really isn't any less stress at this job, unless you are a brain-dead slacker who could care less about enabling people to be productive. If you're interested in sitting on your ass all day and not helping people, and are reasonably sure your supervisor won't be willing to file the stress headache of termination papers for you, then the public sector is right for you.
Yes, public sector is stable. But the lack of money takes away from that. I can't afford a house, a new car, and I can barely keep up with my student loan payments. How stable is having to eat a dinner of rice and beans several times a week just to make payments on things you can't afford?
And public sector jobs depend heartily on funding from government. I've had plenty of experience lobbying the legislature of my state for funding for the past few years. If budgets need to be cut, the "bloated infrastructure" of a university looks is a mighty easy target for legislators.
Yes, it's a student's life and graduate school for me. Stick to the private sector if you can. Just don't get caught up in the lifestyle of extravagance, and you'll be fine.
When I want to check things like my balances, purchase equipment, etc, I LOVE THE INTERNET. It's quick, it's easy, and I can do EXACTLY what I want, when I want.
Plus, I'm old enough to realize that most errors in those sorts of things are human errors.
That forcing Governments to use the cheapest possible contractor, vendor, seller, etc, causes a similar issue. However, most people still support that policy.
I'd much rather have MY government "buying" free software and supporting open-source development than supporting the rich fat-cats who own all that microsoft stock.
In fact, I have a friend who is trying to set up a similar friendly wifi network in my town, and when he approached the local University network administrator he was told flat out that if he "interfered" in "University network space" that he would be speaking to the University lawyers.
I know that Big Brother is our enemy in Slashdot, but it's hard to do anything constructive in unregulated space. Imagine the chaos if FM wasn't regulated.
"The unbridled use of the go to statement has an immediate consequence that it becomes terribly hard to find a meaningful set of coordinates in which to describe the process progress."
Looks like we won't be mixing humorous programming references and theology after all...

The anti-/. effect button.
Ok, I've got nothing.
And realizes that giving out bobble-head dolls of himself for employees to vent their frustrations on is a huge step for stress relief!
Or maybe he's just another dumb MBA who lets all the important people beat him at golf.

That's probably the most frightening anthropomorphic mouth I've ever seen animated!

half a dozen of the other.
P.S. I thought Spielberg really screwed up a.i. for you.
Not "Could Care Less." Could care less doesn't make any sense.
You could care less? Then maybe you should!
You couldn't care less? Then you must REALLY not care!
You rock!

I'll have to remember that after I get that grad degree.

How much of that criticality is due to the Slashdot Effect?

This was on Fark early yesterday. Why such a lag in communication here?
I mean, having a computer in the bathroom, just ISN'T sanitary.

We need a return to K.I.S.S. We need a return to bad metal bands from the '70s? .
You're probably going to get modded down selectspec, but you gave me a laugh, intended or not. Thanks.

Best... cartoon... ever!
I have a feeling we'll all be screaming that more and more as things progress.

The problem with that is, as Dr. Dijkstra wrote:
"The unbridled use of the go to statement has an immediate consequence that it becomes terribly hard to find a meaningful set of coordinates in which to describe the process progress."

The Dueling Machine is an awesome book. Too bad there's no linux port for this game. Here's a little info on the book. The Dueling Machine
Is that the number of secure wireless networks?
You know, that whole "women are smarter than men" thing. Take a deep breath guys. The workday is almost over.
