frankly, there's nothing wrong with this. NT makes a great file/print server for mid-sized LANs. Right tool for the job, all that. But if you think it can do any more, you're on crack.
I wish I had "little or no sex drive", life would be much more enjoyable if I could ignore the need for sex when I can't have it.

Digidesign's Pro Tools studio softwarehas had it for longer than the Antares has been around. I think the first mac versions did it. Hence the careers of most MTV staples.
For example, if you know what to listen for (hard 'edges' to notes on vocals) you can hear it all over Britney's music. It's also being used as a vocoder-type effect (synth filtered by voice) on some recordings. The song on Kid Rock's hit CD that he sang on (it was country sounding) used it extensively.
I've been trolling a lot lately but it's time to get serious.
Who knows if Norrath is real or not? unlike other games, the world that MMORPGs exist in is created in the minds of the players. It has tangible qualities. You experience it with 2 of the 5 senses - as many as you experience most of the real world with. At a certain point MMORPGs have to be given status on some level with reality because of their effect on people. This isn't a "save the children from themselves" thing, but it's a problem of world substitution. With a sufficient amount of imagination anyone can be drawn into a fantasy world.
Someone else in this story mentioned the fact that you work a lot of time to get to a level in the game and that's hard to give up. Do you program? do you write or play music or create anything? have you ever grown attached to a creation of yours or working a long time to do something that never quite seems to get done? MMORPGs dangle the carrot like that. some are immune to the temptation. Others are not.
MMORPGs ARE drugs, I'm convinced of that. I know some people that do drugs for recreational purposes and put them down when they need to be put down. I know others whose lives become controlled by the drug until they run out of their supply. This does not make them weak. They are valid human beings. It makes them susceptible and the fact that EQ and other MMORPGs take advantage of this trait is reprehensible.
whos' the fucking cockbreath that came up with the 20 second rule for posting? is it supposed to improve the content here by forcing people to think before they post? well you can see just how well that worked...
anyway, that warning label reminds me of Infinite Jest for some strange reason.
*sigh*. Once again I've been grossly misunderstood.
I've been a stepparent; I mean freedom of expression. Even kids of toddler age express themselves in meaningful ways. Freedom of action is not the same thing. Kids want to do things that aren't right in anyone's eyes, it's the parents' job to keep them from doing that.
There is a difference between keeping a child safe, and keeping a child sheltered. Don't confuse the two. I don't; lots of parents do. Sheltering a kid won't keep him/her safe no matter how little you keep them from doing. It's a parent's job, also, to let go at some point. All this safety tech gives them a reason not to, and it's a quick way to get a warm/fuzzy "I'm doing the right thing" feeling without much mental effort. That's the danger here.
parents sometimes think this, too, and end up losing their relationship with them.
There are also parents that don't care at all. The only reason they worry about their kids is because the cops look at the parents first when something happens to them.
Kids need freedom. Without freedom they wouldn't develop into independent human beings. Ensuring that that happens is more important than making sure your kid is safe.
I wouldn't do this. it might get me in better shape, but all that's good for is getting you laid - if you have the personality to back up the looks.
I have a horrible personality to most women. So being in shape won't give me any advantage in life that isn't immediately nullified by my basic nature.
Hence, exercising is useless to me.
At least I quit smoking, but only because I hated the smell and it made my eyes burn.
If the thief doesn't throw your laptop away, are you going to chase them? If you think possession of your laptop is more important than your health, perhaps you need to evaluate why you feel that you need to carry something so valuable that it might get you killed.
Thank you for pointing out what's wrong with our society. People place their personal well-being above that of the world.
i've tended to use themes in the past. some of mine:
1) cities in Mexico 2) old video game characters 3) strange animals
simpsons character names are a common theme. at my current job, they name servers after old comedians (ollie, bud, lou) and give them aliases that sound more clinical. i.e. the nameserver has its colloquial name but it's also known as ns1.domain.com.
another place I worked at named servers after the latin form of volcano names, i.e. krakatoa, helena, etc.

in my case the women would drop dead of alcohol poisoning first.
Thank you Mr. Gates, may I have another?

fuck you, troll.
well, Nike DOES control the USA, so why even have the flag on there?
or maybe a capacitor, that "stores" a voltage and then emits it when it's discharged.
is Dogbert the CIO at Verisign or something?
"He who controls the information controls you. I CONTROL THE INFORMATION!!"
well, in some countries, Coke is better for you than the local water supply, so it's really not such a bad thing on that level.

the one talking looks like Geddy Lee!
yeah! Look at R2D2! He got lots of shit done by being a rolling trash can!
the benefits of looking and feeling better are non-sequitur. why punish myself when all I'm doing is plodding on aimlessly in a meaningless existence?
that's what everyone says. but then there's this truism:
Eat right, exercise, get plenty of rest, die anyway.
Life being ultimately pointless, why make the journey even harder?
I wouldn't do this. it might get me in better shape, but all that's good for is getting you laid - if you have the personality to back up the looks.

what about an old X Terminal type setup? XDM on a highbandwidth host, and...oh, never mind
so engineers are by nature sell-outs. got it.
I think I'll go be a teacher. it doesn't pay much but at least after tenure you have job security.
