Actually, Stalin was the only one suprised by operation Barbarossa. He always knew that Nazi Germany was going to attempt to invade Russia, he just thought it wasn't going to be for another year...
However, his generals had been getting intel from the british about troop movements and could see that Germany was massing millions of troops on their eastern border, but Stalin wouldn't do anything about it. Supposidly, he didn't want to provoke Hitler.
Though, from a tactical point of view, I think the fact that the Germans could penetrate so deeping into Russia without any real resistance tactically helped the Russians.
If Stalin had moved 8 million troops right to the border and stiffened up its defences, Germany would have gone "oh shit!" and moved alot more troops and materials and probably would have made it a priority to go after Moscow.
Instead, the Germans rushed into Russia and out paced their supply lines and by the time they hit any solid resistance it was too late to call for speedy reenforcements.
All and all, Nazi Germany invading Russia will go down as one of the worlds greatest military blunders.
Minutes after the slapper worm begins "slapping" around machines all over the internet, the PR department at Symantec was hard at work thinking up a way to make themselves not look like they were standing there with their pants down...
I picked up two of those top loading nintendo's at a garage sale for $10!
There really slick, however they've got their own little quirks.
I've since sold one of them, but they both needed to have a little wedge of paper crammed behind the cartridge, otherwise you'd get the GGSOD, "Grey Gibberish Screen Of Death"
However, they have to give you a copy of the credit report and, if they don't hire you based on that credit history, a written letter explaining their reasoning.
Now, if their reasoning is crappy, you can alwasys take them to court and possibly a judge would agree that they are being discrimitory.
However, if your getting a job working in a bank and your credit history shows that you've defaulted on a mortgage and you've 6 maxxed out credit cards, they'll argue that based on past experience with employees, that those with credit problems were more likely to steal.
If you didn't know, your intitled to one free credit check a year. Since credit mistakes are such a pain in the ass to fix, I'd strongly recommend that you, at least once a year, have one done, sit down and go through every line of credit to ensure that nothing erroneous ended up on it...
A buddy of mine went for a mortgage and his the financial institution started enquiring about his 5 student loans that defaulted on in 1984... In 1984 he was 9 years old... It took him tons of letters and cajoling to finally get that taken off.

Agent Smith: Mr. Anderson, posting the IP for the matrix on slashdot was very foolish. Neo: What's the matter Mr. Anderson, afraid of a little server load? Agent Smith: Haha, you c-a-n-'t p-o-s-s-i-b-l-y think, what the hell is going on... Other Agent whispers into Agent Smith's ear.. Agent Smith: You niced my process you fucker, you'll die for that. Neo: You've gotta catch me first. (at this point, neo just disappears) Agent Smith: (turning to other agent) What the Hell is going on here... suddenly agent isn't there anymore Agent Smith: God Damned Out of memory killer...
You'd run a client on your machine that would act as a local DNS server. Then you'd point your machine to this DNS server. So when you goto a site (say off of slashdot) the DNS server would interact with the P2P network and give the IP of the less loaded machine in the P2P network. Yeah, you'd have to run a deamon on your machine, but oh well...
I really think the DVD drive was the clincher for alot of people. At least it was for me. I owned an original PS, but not a DVD player. The PS2 was a chance for me to get both a new gaming system and a video player all at the same time... The reason I didn't buy the DC was that I already owned 35 PS games...
Instead windows does away with all these seperate mutually exclusive files and has one giant non human readable binary file. That way, when one application wants to screw the whole system up, it doesn't have to go change a whole bunch of files, it just has to screw up one!
That's why the person is going with cards that have dedicated mpeg2 encoders on them... the CPU doesn't have to worry about correctly encoding, etc. It just has to worry about getting the data off the card and onto the disk without missing a beat. I would think that plenty of ram and good fast disks would be all the guy would need. As for running 4 cards at once, I'm wondering if the guy might end up having some bus contention... However, if he sprung (ala ebayed) for a decent piece of server hardware he could find something with multiple PCI buses.
Bill: Steve, Guess what? Steve: What Bill... Bill: Guess who SCO is suing now? Steve: Let me guess... Us? Bill: Nope! Steve: Wow, somebody not suing us, that's odd..

Kevin, The U.S. judicial system was manipulated to essentially hold you indefinitely without bail.

Cedar Point is amazing. Besides all the other often spoke about roller coasters, I'm a big fan of Mean Streak...
PKI is definity worth the admission, but it's not at the same caliber as Cedar Point. We decided that one day was all we needed for PKI, whereas we spent two at Cedar Point. (we were also on a cross country trip so time was at a premium...
Wright Patterson Airforce Base was also amazing an d is worth the trip as well. Actually being able to walk up and touch an SR-71 was amazing...
I'd have to check the legistation, but I think as long as your under a watt, you'll be safe... Also, before you set something like this up, goto your FM radio and go through the dial and find a frequency that's out of range. This will minimize the chances of the FCC showing up with a triangulation van...

Personally, The best game for that system (the 8 bit NES) was Metroid.
It changed everything.
