One day I'm going to put in the Star Destroyer (3000 pieces). Up till now I've just been building castles, 'cos my parents wouldn't buy me any when I was younger:(
No, but it generally is faculty who want the latest buzzwords, and since three prof's sit on Oracle's board of directors, you can bet it was them giving the admins the orders....
Here in the UK we're required to register our pecuniary interests at the start of each financial year. Our auditors would flay us alive if this sort of thing happened here......
And as an.edu admin, I can respond and say that it *is* the teaching faculty who make the upgrade decisions. They want the latest buzzwords, we do what we're told.....
Knoppix actually runs quite well on a 500Mhz laptop with 64MB RAM, and it even recognises my network card (some obscure thing, I forget now. Real something or other).
KDE does seem to take a while to start, but it's quite resposive once it gets going.
Erm, since when are there going to be episodes 7,8 & 9?
AFAIK, the books and graphic novels are cannon, but they are less cannon than the books. The forums at StarWars.com would have a heart attack arguing this one.
Luke did not 'defeat' Vader and the darkside. He threw down his lightsaber and it was Vader who rose up and brought an end to the Sith - but not the darkside of the force. Han's daughter briefly dabbled, and Mara Jade could be considered 'dark'.
I also have a TI-83, and it's allowed on my university courses. The only calc's that are banned are ones that have a full keyboard. While the TI-83 does have a full Alpha set, it's not classed as a full usage one.
"It also features IOS-XR and the first optical OC-768c/STM-256c optical Interface."
I'm studying Optical transmissions at the moment, and just getting my head around how bytes were interleaved and mapped across AU's, TUG's etc in *one* STM was a stretch enough, (the diagrams are nuts), and now there's an STM2565! That's a bloody lot of multiplexing....
I'll second this. I have a copy and it doesn't leave my desk. It breaks things down into things that you should do, and then things you can do to make it even better. It gives examples of policies, memo's, forms, everything you could ask for. I've been a sysop for four years now, and it's taught me a lot. One of the other great things is that the two authors have differing approaches, so you don't just get one persons viewpoint.
And what really, really annoys me, is the 'selective alternatives'. They haven't got a pack of 4 chicken wings, so they give me 2 turkeys. Hey, it's got four wings... okay, I'm exaggerating slightly, but when you can't miss noodling round the store with a trolley buying what you want.... it might be okay for the convenience, but you can't beat real shopping.
I have to agree, I was thinking the same thing. For all the hippy posturing that comes out of the Open Source movement, I really think that coming out with stuff like this stinks.

ah, fixed it. It's three balls above a chessboard thing.
Scene file parser initialisation error.
I only have it because it's used for LegoCAD (LDraw) :)

The launch codes for American ICBM's used to be 00000000 according to something I read this morning, but I forget where and what in....

But I do agree with your Obi-Wan comment :)

Thanks again, that's really helpful.

Bet they're glad they don't use PDH anymore....
wow, well, that's interesting. But it's obviously not that interesting, otherwise Microsoft wouldn't be coughing up, would they?

Would it not be more likely that your ISP is having problems? Or do you send all requests directly to the root servers?
Thye provide a load balancing service. The sites wouldn't go down. Microsoft routinely switch their akamai feed on and off.
And this is *news*???
Problem is, this is what I think of anytime I read *anything* about Symbian......
Let's just give them a good kicking and have a beer...

If they were persecuted, we'd all be living in spammer mansions. Prosecution on the other hand :)

I must have skipped that version of NT.... :)
