just stating that if your management believes they are indemnified by using *bsd (which apparently they do believe, based on their actions) they are sadly mistaken.
"As such, all new software that use OSS either in the app layer or as the base OS is still being viewed with a hairy eye-ball and needs to have a "how do I move to something else" plan developed before it is deployed in my shop."
how do you do this with ANY os, given that sco has stated nobody is safe (except maybe sun)? sco has already stated they plan to go after bsd (presumably, this means apple as well).
hoe the HELL would you "move to something else" if your app was win32? *boggle*
no OS is safe. sco has already publically stated they believe *every* os has IP belonging to sco ("nobody is safe, except sun"). not even apple is safe. sco has already stated they plan to go after bsd next.
actually in some jurisdictions you are required by law to report drug use to the authorities, and you can be criminally charged if you don't (eg they find out you knew, and didn't report it).
The hard drive (Maxtor 4G160J8) is louder than the PC. And you can barely hear the hard drive.
The heatpipe, massive heatsink, and temperature controlled fan help a lot.
It WHOOOOOSHes for about 3 seconds when you power it on, as the hardware is initialized. Then it goes totally and completely silent as linux boots, and stays silent during heavy use.
you can make chinese / japanese vertical text in html using tables, but it is a major PITA. i've seen some sites do it though. still other sites use gif/jpeg images for vertical text (some arabic sites do this as well as arabic support in browsers tend to suck ass).

sco has already stated they plan to go after bsd. so your management isn't any safer by using freebsd.

your project manager is just a f'n idiot.
you're just jealous.

it's not a question of holding an employee responsible for the actions of their employer.
it's a question of holding an employee responsible for continuing to support their employer after their employer is caught wrongdoing.
it's an ethics decision.
i was in a similar situation and also quit on the spot. i don't regret the decision at all.
false invoices is criminal fraud.
have them forward the letter to the state attorney general.
Everyone claims spammers will move offshore to avoid jurisdiction of US laws.
But why the hassle of China, Russia, Korea, etc. when Canada will do just as well?
After all, telemarketers already do it to avoid US telemarketing laws.
Valve definitely deserves to win.
September 30 came and went. Then it got pushed back to November. Then the release date got pushed back another 6 months due to "1337 h4x0rz".
Yeah, right.
I suspect it wasnt anywhere near ready for release on September 30 or November, regardless of their excuses.
"silent" to me means, one that i can't hear *at all*.
the SB52G2 fits that criteria for me.
shrug.
very odd.
you cant hear my SB52G2 *at all*.
well, you can sort of hear it if you put your ear so it's *touching* the case. then you can hear a slight hum from the hard drive.
from a few feet away, you can't even tell if it's on, except for the blue power LED.
the SB52G2 also boots just fine without a keyboard, just select "all, except keyboard" in the bios setup. works perfectly.
get a HD with fluid dynamic bearings.
theres Western Digital and IBM models with them. you turn them on and you cant hear them *at all* unless you put your head right next to the drive.
then mount the drive in your PC using rubber grommets instead of mounting screws, so it doesnt transmit vibrations to the PC chassis.
under your criteria, your PC would have no hard drive.
not a very interesting PC to me.

Shrug.
they also had transcription errors, and their high cost ensured only the elite had access to them.
i want to see mcbride and his cronies in orange jumpsuits, defending themselves against money laundering and stock fraud charges.
the problem is that creationists try to promote creationism as science, and weasel their religious beliefs into the classroom under that lie.
it's dishonest.
do you *really* think this design was an accident?
tribes2 requires more teamwork than CS does. tribes2 is far more strategic, CS relies mainly on who has the quickest reaction times.

Well, season 1 anyway:

Arguably, his "Day the universe changed" was a much better series.
seasons 2 and 3 are on VHS only:

explicit vertical text support is in css though.
microsoft has (i guess nonstandard) support for vertical text.
its that difficult to remove the spaces from the slashdot-mangled urls?
no wonder you have such difficulty with basic gradeschool physics.
