NMCI is the Naval-Marine Corps Intranet project, and at some point the contract they have with the DOD will require them to move to an up-to-date version, possibly as "early" as February '05.
I do. As odd as it may sound, I do. My work PC is now an NMCI machine, and can only run NMCI approved software. I have two browsers I can use - IE and Netscape. Netscape 4.76. A new version of Netscape would mean I could at least use tabs again.

Right. As long as by "anywhere" you mean within the borders of a good-sized city. I live about twenty minutes or less from Fredericksburg, and I can't get broadband of any kind without forking out $600 for satellite.
Because some of us don't have a choice. I just moved out to the country, and my Internet selection is dial-up, dial-up, or paying $600 plus $60/mo for satellite, with all the latency and other drawbacks that come with it.
Until the cable company decides to run cable the last five miles or so to my house, or Verizon gives me a DSL option, I'm out of luck. It'll happen eventually, but not for probably 3-5 years.
In programming teams, it often seems to be the case that when trying to squish a particularly elusive bug that member of the opposite sex will quite easily point out.
Indeed, and it isn't necessarily just in programming teams. I was working on an assembly program one evening, trying to track down a particularly elusive bug. My husband, who isn't even remotely a geek, sat down and asked what I was doing. I gave him the best high-level summary I could of what assembly code was and what all those instructions were doing and how things weren't working the way I was expecting them to. It took about twenty minutes. After I finished, he stared at my monitor for a couple of seconds and pointed out exactly where the problem was.
Of course, knowing Slashdot, this will probably lead people to the conclusion that he should be the programmer and not I. It's really no wonder that I rarely, if ever, actually post anything.
There's a theatre in Tucson that does pretty much nothing but comedy melodramas written by cast members. They all play out much like this, perhaps you should submit a script.
Sadly, Mozilla is no longer permitted on Navy desktop computers, thanks to the NMCI contract mandating Internet Explorer as the only web browser permitted.
Technically, fansubs are illegal in both Japan and the US (under the Berne Convention, if I'm remembering correctly), but in practice they're tolerated by US licensor until a license is formally announced, because they've been shown to actually help sales of certain titles by raising awareness of it.
I have to agree with you - Fallen Host was one of the best and most original books to come out this year, and I can't wait for Lyda Morehouse to write more.
She's gotten on my short-list of authors I run out to buy day-of-release books for, and preferrably read then too.
I'll have to pass around my copies to a few more people, and hope she gets another print-run soon.
I was under the impression that the original poster wasn't talking about using images of currency, but actually making an exact copy of a piece of US currency.
The changes that these HP printers make wouldn't prevent the image uses detailed on the Treasury Department site.
According to federal law, there is no legit reason to copy currency. Unless you can give an example of something that is both legit and illegal at the same time, I'm going to remain unconvinced.
I think Cloud of Sparrows is a standalone book, written before Across the Nightingale Floor, and Brilliance of the Moon is the conclusion to the trilogy.
Actually, Tailchaser's Song was accepted by the very first publisher Tad Williams sent it to. He's mentioned in a few interviews that if he knew how hard it was to get published he probably wouldn't have bothered.

Something like this?
I have a friend who lives in a small apartment, and she loves hers.
This is completely off-topic, but have you checked out Blackthorn?
As a woman, I'm deriding these choices that they made as sterotypical and offensive. And I am far from the only one.

It has nothing to do with the MPAA at all.

THAT I can agree with.
Corporations have no place in our legal or judicial system.
