500m around the entire planet from just a polar region!! Well, I don't care if the math does not work. If it can get some astronaut's sorry ass to the red planet then... I BELIEVE!!!!
When did Microsoft stop giving stuff away for free to crush the competition???? (ala Internet Exploder vs. Nutscrape)
Did they get scared of the legal wranglings? I want my "free" Xbox so I can convert it into a Linux console. Can we sue Microsoft for not giving stuff away for free????
Here is a solution. Put a sniffer (Linux/Etherpeek) on the network and post up the 10 worst abuser list on a bulliten board near the office. Do this each week and see what happens. Yeah, you might get some students trying to break the old record but at least when someone complains about the slowness of the network you can direct them to the bulletin board so they can complain to the people on the list.
This way the performance of the network cannot be attributed to your performance as a network admin.
My company seems to think that Dilbert is the ultimate authority on management style! I swear I saw Ratbert today in the coffee room (wait... actually I think that might have been a real rat...) Anyway, it sure is fun to work here and laugh at all of the incompetence.
A recent inventory of the Australian Government's supply of spy cameras showed that 90% were pointed at the nude beaches and the other 10% were pointed in members of parliament hotel rooms as in Enemy of the State....
IMHO the OS itself does not matter to the enduser at all. All the enduser cares about is whether they can run their applications just like they did before the upgrade (bug free). In this regard, it is not the OS but the API's that the OS supports. Much like WINE and Lindows (oops sorry WINE again...).
Remember people Windows Explorer (e.g. start menu, desktop etc) is an application that uses API's. Until Linux can support Windows API's seamlessly (daunting task, I know, especially when Microsoft is not open source) then Linux on the desktop is doomed. There are thousands upon thousands of Windows applications that need to be supported in the short term, at least until they can be webified in their entirety, in which case the OS question is moot as a browser is basically open source.

Great, now if only we can get rid of the plethora of bots and campers in Quake!
Funny, I tried "Fuckhead it and a picture came out as a resume of someguy named Bernard Shifman...

And who the F%^$^ is going to put this unit together for free??? Even sweatshops cost a few schekels.

Name service would fail catastrophically if we did not have TLD's.

I thought Carnivore was set loose to devour SPAM. Isn't SPAM a meat product?
Note to all replys -- Just a Yes or No will suffice! I don't really want to know what goes in SPAM (I took the Red pill god dammit...)
Just use ROT13 to encrypt your messages and your messages will be safe from prying eyes...
