You, sir, are obviously a communist terrorist. Why would you not want to support our economy by buying the prepackaged crap^H^H^H^Hwonderful entertainment we have provided for you? Don't you know that BSB and Britney our our gift to mankind?
Hmmm... I remember when Pat Paulson (he of the Smothers Brothers show) was "running" for President
Unfortunately, Satch, you just lost 95% of the/. demographic there. I know what you're talking about, and the over-35 crowd knows what you're talking about, but the rest of/. just gave a huge collective "WTF?"
You might as well talk about Harold Stassen (though that wasn't *officially* a joke, just a de facto joke).
I can vouch for this. My former employer (Litton, now Northrop) reacted similarly in the case of any security violations.
For most DoD contractors, any one contract is loseable. However, if you get caught cheating or lying, you can be barred from future bids. There goes your corporate lifeblood.
Similarly, too many security violations or (I think) a single coverup of a violation can lead to the entire facility getting its authorization yanked. Again, kiss any future contracts goodbye.
Didn't you know? You don't *BUY* the X-Box, you license the hardware, and Microsoft makes no claims of suitability or fitness for any purpose, including playing video games, and they're not liable for any damages caused, including burned down houses or dorm rooms.

Darn it, that's disappointing, because I had a quantum that needed some repairing. Now, if I only knew where it is and where it's going, then I'd have something.
I know. I wound up doing binary searches for the first post of whatever (I found the Church of the SubGenius -- FWIW, it was signed by Andy Tannenbaum!).
In theory, if your dual Alpha uses the EV6, it should be possible with reflashed ROMS and a socket adapter, to drop the Athlons into the Alpha board. Remember, Athlon uses the Alpha EV6 bus.
The funny part is that AMD licenced the bus from Compaq/DEC and now Intel owns it.
Who needs to feel lucky on Google? NVidia makes it fairly easy to find Linux drivers. On their home page, under "Download Drivers", there's an item for 'Linux'. Not particularly hard to find, and (amazingly) it's in the logical place, too!
Funny.... I ran an SCO ODT2 box for 7 years straight. Only downtime was to add more disk.
Austin Wintower433E (back when Austin was American made, not IPC). Tower was built like a tank. 32MB RAM, Adaptec 1742 EISA SCSI Controller. SCO ODT 2.0. Started with 1GB Fujitsu disk, added a 4GB Micropolis later.
First post I found with my name was in Feb 1984. I didn't post it, someone posted something I wrote and credited it. For the record, it was this parody song.

Next they'll be telling us the virtues of AOL
Hey, don't bash AOL! After all, "AOL *IS* the Internet!" They said it on their commercials, so it *must* be true!
When are they going to make a dollar that's actually worth one dollar?
Developers must either build their own tool-chain from piecing together Open Source tools or opt for a specific vendor's costly toolset.
So they admit that Visual Studio(r) is overpriced?... oh wait, they were trying to make that point about Linux, weren't they?
Obviously I need to use tags.

We're keeping an eye on you now!
The copyright protection schemes generally introduce "noise" into the recording
Gee, wasn't one of the reasons that CD was pushed over vinyl was "superior audio quality" and "less noise"?
Oh well...
Can you get them for Fraud, then?
Where is Phillips? Do they license CDDA logo to non-RedBook CDs?
But then they'll have teeth behind the SSSCA.
"See, we copy protected them, and the Evil Hackers(tm) copied them anyways! We need to lock down all computers! How else can we make money???"
I know I'd confess to writing windows XP...
So *YOU'RE* the guy to blame for WPA?
Click the little "deskpad with a notebook and pencil on it"
You're right! That's what it is. I always thought it looked like a magnifying glass, and was wondering why MS chose that particular icon.
I'd say, though, that the icon is non-intuitive.
It almost seems like too much for one man to create!

You're right. The triology was written by Sir Francis Bacon.
</HUMOR>
\i{Sauron is a maiar, but Saruman, Gandalf, Radagast, etc. are not of that stature}
quotes not exact, but...
"Olorin in my youth in the west that is now forgotten" -- \i{Gandalf, Return of the King}
"Olorin was the wisest of the Maiar" \i{Valaquenta}.

and believe me, I'm no quantum mechanic

When your wife, kids, and life are in Russia, and you don't have a choice about leaving, yeah, it does suck.
Disclaimer, I'm a Californian, and wouldn't live anywhere else... but that's *MY* choice, not the DOJ's to make.

I submitted the SubGenius to the Usenet archive email address.
Here it is, though I'm sure there's a much smaller link for it.

OK, what about all those 3.5" floppies that I got from AOL???
Try deleting your google cookie. I had the same problem.
