CD drives are a waste of space on anything except desktop machines.
No Floppy drives are a wast eof space on every computer.
You can easly slip in a laptop style cd-rom drive onto a 1U server.
I't takes up so little space that it dosen't nead it's own drive bay.
A floppy OTOH neads it's own drive bay.
The truth of the matter is that in a Windows NT or 2000 server you can boot the box off the install CD and run a repair utility.
So can all the linux distros I've tried.
freeBSD can be installed off two floppies and over the network, and it cannot be that hard to add to the floppy images enough functionality to add a repair program.
Again nothing that's not possible under your standard Linux distro.
Just because you don't know how doesn't make it impossible
When I want a boot disk I use
SuperRescue. Nowa days every one has a cd burnner and CDRs are dirt cheap. Besides when was the last time you could find a blank floppy in less then 10 minutes?
I know what you mean.
I used SuSE until 7.0 wouldn't boot on my system. The Nvida drivers did not work with my Mobo. I guess now would be a good time to switch back. Don't like redhat all that much.
Thats what I meant. I assume since they are gathering the data electronically that they will store it electronically as well. Unless they come up with some sort of distributed method . Imagine a beowof of these;)
cool let's move to russia, i'm sure our quality of life will improve 10 fold. dumbass. it would be nice if YOU moved there.
Fitting that you post as Anonymous Coward. You've definitely earned the second part of that name. First sugesting that I run from the problem and then saying that you'd rather bury you head in the sand.
I'm sorry I don't run from my problems and if don't like me speaking out about it, tough.
I've still got the First Amendment. Or at least most of it.
What I want to know is how the hell did this tax law get through the canadian system.
I can understand the DMCA getting through in the USA via soft money, but we don't have soft money in canada.
I know the canadian government is pro-tax and all.
Can some one please explain this to me?.
I'm not even an american so I feel funny comenting on this but oh well.
It says that the intent of the law is to allow the formation of well regulated militias.
The law how ever says that citizens not just militias right to bear arms should not be infinged upon.
The well regulated militia part is one example of why citizens should be allowed to bear arms.
Not the only reason they should have the right.
Now you or I may not agree with this idea but. Thats what it says and there are no two ways about that.
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
As for the second:
A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.

Never said I was a teacher.
In school I used to disrespect my teacher all the time maby if my teacher dised me back I wouldn't be using "who's" either.
Get one of these. When you see a student not paying attention in class fire one at him. When he complains fire another.
He'll duck the second one.
Now say to him. "Why did that second one not hit you?"
He'll say:"I ducked".
Now say: "And why did you not duck the first one".
He'll say: "I was not paying attention".
End with: "And who's fault was that?".
Thats silly, really, I live on the Can/Am boarder and I don't know ANYONE who crosses the boarder for beer. Liquor maybe, but beer, no.
I did too and I knew people who did.
They would go to Niagra for the day and pickup cheep beer and smokes (cheep as in no taxes) for all there friends
Besides there are some things you just can't buy in canada (not so much anymore).
I mean a trip across the 1000 Island bridge outside of Gananoque, Ont (just east of Kingston, which is east of Toronto....) costs $3 each time across ($6 bucks round trip), and how likely are you going to be able to smuggle a trunk load of beer across without the customs guys not noticing YOUR FREAKING CAR LOOKS LIKE AN INVERSE HOT ROD! I mean a trunk filled with beer has to weigh in very heavy. Not to mention the clinking sounds.
I lived in Peterborough so I know where Kingston and Toronto are.
This guy also had a large van full of building material so that helped thing a little.
I think the intrepretation is wrong, what happens is, Canadiens are visiting the US, during their visit they want to drink beer, all to common pastime. They look at what is available, then they buy Canadien beer.
This is not an intrepretation I know. I'm canadian and I know canadians who do this.
Glad you're amused. I'm amused by the fact that you use an IRISH beer as an example of an American beer. What about AMERICAN beers like hm, lets see, Coors, Budwieser, Rainier, etc?
No the REALY funny part is that most of the Guinness in america is brewed in Canada. Fosters too check the lable next time buddy.

Because it sshouldn't be done by a government. It should be done by a private agency.
Hey no one's stoping them. The only problem is that the private sector exists soley to make a profit and there's no money in going to mars.
It's all good. ...)
I do get a lot of anti-Linux FUD from the BSD crowd (they just stole the code from BSD
So I'm a little touchy.

You seam to know what this is all about.
Mind explaining to me what the hell this is?
Thanks.
Hopefully they don't save the data in a proprietary format. Thus rendring the data useless by 2015. Like say domesday. :)

To this now the russians are the crazy capitalists and it's us with the draconian anti-freedom laws (DMCA).

Anyway, it makes no difference - this won't apply to beer, as beer is not water.
;)
Sure Canadian beer is not water.

Shoot a third one?
A kid that stupid deserves a good ruberband lesson
If you work at a private school then they can't sue you it's incorprated they have to sue the school.
Don't know about Public though.
Get one of these. When you see a student not paying attention in class fire one at him.
:"I ducked".
When he complains fire another.
He'll duck the second one.
Now say to him. "Why did that second one not hit you?"
He'll say
Now say: "And why did you not duck the first one".

That comment was sarcasm
I rented it on DVD once at blockbuster.
You can buy it at amazon
Here in MN, cheap ass grocery store and qwik-E-mart beer is %2.3 max, but the liquor store beer averages %5.5 with some going up to %8.0.
Let me guess. Imports?
