    I think I speak for all the people just trying to spend a pleasant evening at home when I say,

    They don't mind interupting our evenings, we don't mind being rude in return.

    Open to all individuals, groups and businesses that support ALL of these ideals:
    1. A fundamental belief in the freedom of speech, the freedom of association, the freedom to innovate, and the basic principles of entrepreneurism and the free enterprise system of economics.
    Not to be picky, but as much as you go on about capitalism sucking the big one, how can you be a member of the "open technology movement?" I'm thinking of "ideal #1", quoted above.

    Both Microsoft and Unisys have declined to comment on the cause of the outage. It is unknown whether there was a technical problem at the hosting site or whether the site was merely bombarded with requests from IT managers clamoring for copies of the free papers on the site.

    Yeah, winders can have some uptime now like it couldn't in the past.

    It still flakes out pretty hard, though. For instance, unplugging by iPaq (on the serial port) causes Win2k to lose sight og my printer (on the USB port). I get a "Hey! Don't unplug shit!" warning from windows.

    Coming out of DirectX leaves windows in a lovely black-on-black color scheme. I have to switch "appearances" while driving semi-blind (windows have borders still) to get something usable back.

    Win2k will hang when trying to figure out what non-FAT, non-NTFS partitions on hard disks are. Stoopid.

    Problems with the web browser (IE) crash or hang the whole UI shell (also IE).

    Win2K uses more and more memory as its uptime increases. Invisible memory. No applications running -- ones were in the past, but Win2k's back down to the shell and that's it, and it chugs away at 310MB memory in use.

    Unkillable processes, un-unlockable files: I think everyone's had to reboot because of these...

    The OS isn't totally sucky, but it is not first rate.

    Our original workspace was separate offices. It was the worst. Poor communication, poor productivity; lost time to having to re-intergrate development tangents, etc. The people thought it was good, but we weren't operating as a team so much.

    I moved my development team into a "lab" -- one big room with desks, but no cube walls. It seemed to work pretty well -- good communication and teamwork. Then the company moved as we got another "lab", but with cubes. It was not as good, but still good, because it was open and we were close together. On one front it was better: the padded walls absorbed sound a lot better than the hard surfaces in the previous "lab."

    Whenever possible, I simply avoid signing an employment agreement at all. That came in handy once ... I left a company suddenly, shortly after ownership changed hands and the new owner started changing the fundamental nature of the business. The new owner took me to court. The judge didn't simply dismiss his case -- he took 5 minutes to berate the guy first, and then dismissed the case.

    When I've not been able to avoid the document completely, I do modify the clauses that imply or state that the company owns or has any kind of right to the products of my non-working-hours labor.
