CIDR is the classless IP subnetting - stuff like 206.100.0.0/12, and Linux is just fine for most of what you could afford to do anyway. Nobody should have to run their own SAN at home just to get hired on as an admin.
Dude, where do you live? Nobody cares if the engineer has a southern drawl, and bluebloods certainly don't go into IT. Hell, I'd love to have more women in the office - the way things are, it reminds me of college.
Is that the same target audience that continues to use IE
IE comes bundled with your PC and most people are barely aware of things like firefox. This is a piece of hardware that you have to buy. Besides, are you really suggesting that MS shovel any old crap out there and hope people buy it?
the reason the tsunami got less press in the US than 9/11 is because of where it took place, *not* because it was a natural disaster as opposed to a deliberate action.
Don't forget: Bush43 has been flogging 9/11 for the majority of his presidency in order to justify his policies. The Tsunami wasn't nearly as politically valuable.
There's no point in worrying about tsunamis and asteroids if you're a cave man and can't do anything about it. There's no return on effort spent.
Wanna bet? If the tide runs out really fast and far, you start running - that might save your skin. Don't live in earthquake zones on the top of a muddy slope. Don't drive fast in the snow. Lots of things can be done about nonintelligent threats.
Let's see - Sudan is still in the midst of genocide, Rwanda, last I heard was putting some million people on trial for genocide (in 2004 ish), Mugabe took over Zimbabwe a couple years ago and totally screwed the pooch, the coup was approved by the king after the fact (this has happened before, and likely will again) - I don't watch FOX, so my main news source is 60 minutes and the internet. Last I heard about Thailand, the situation was or will shortly be resolved by handing back power once the worst corruption has been handled. At least this is what (I heard) happened last time.
As I recall, the tsunami was in '02, and one thing that struck me was people sending stupid shit like fur coats to the affected areas. Also, wasn't it about that time that someone bombed Bali? I forget.
I'm trying to figure out if you're being serious or just having some fun. Sarcasm is so hard to see on the internets. All those tubes skew perspective.
For example when Borat goes into the gun dealer's shop and asks for a good gun to kill Jews with, the owner proudly gives him a nice handgun that looked like its bullets could pierce thick armor!
You referring to that gaudy.45? It's not all that good at piercing armor; it's good for knocking people down. Besides, you never really saw the bullets:)
The good ones do: I went to RPI, and most stuff was C++, but you also had stuff that required perl or java or lisp, and it was assumed that you could pick up the language on the side. I still want to learn lisp well, but that's fairly tough going.
Well, my actual point is that China is not expansionist - they are currently purging Tibet of Tibetans, which really merits gassing of the PRC and they claim Taiwan asa their own, but they haven't done much else, unless you consider their contested claim in Kashmir. Of course, since it's just desert, and India and Pakistan are also fighting over it, it's not really worth considering. They haven't shown much interest in other countries, which points to not being expansionist.
Considering the US is a militaristic, expansionistic country seeking to exert dominance over most of the world's regions, I'd say it already is the next china/iran.

Yeah, so how do you make senior people? Duh, you start with newbs.
The cry by CEO's like Bill Gates that there is not enough high-tech talent out there is really just their myopic view of the business world
Myopic? Bill hasn't been CEO for a while, and MS is famous for the number of millionaires it's produced. Snipe someone else.
Hey, I can do most of that (except for the fluency part), but if you demand all that, I'll charge $2k/week.

Now, who exactly is the target audience? People too stupid to know better?
I dunno, maybe they go for teenage boys - creepy, but not pedophilia.
Yes, because you still have the unlimited right to yell, "FIRE!" in a crowded theater not on fire. Or incite a riot.
Yes you do have that right. Only thing is that you will likely be charged for inciting violence/panic. Censorship is never the answer.

Hail Eris, full of me :P. Gotta love oversexed goddesses.

Mine would be 'sit down and shut up. I went to St. Lucia, you self absorbed prick.'
DO you have anything to back up this rather broad claim?
After all the wars listed by GP, we have yet to fill up a single mass grave of civilians.
One mass grave, thousands of smaller graves - do the dead care?

Mastercard takes a dim view of this sort of behavior. Once will not lose you a merchant account, but do you really think there's only one complainant?

So, what's the converse? If some guy sues me in germany because I said something nasty on slashdot, do I have to the same absurd dance?
They claim Tibet is a part of China from 500 years ago (just like Saddam had a claim on Kuwait). Likewise, Taiwan has only existed for a few decades.
Considering the US is a militaristic, expansionistic country seeking to exert dominance over most of the world's regions, I'd say it already is the next china/iran.
Nah, china's not expansionist.
