Solid-state fusion, as pioneered by Pons and Fleischmann, has been reproduced in tens of thousands of experiments, generating well over a thousand peer-reviewed publications, over the last 16 years.
Name some. Barring that, I'll believe you if you can produce a zero power bill for this past winter (assuming winter gets cold where you are).
Damn it, it's not like there are 364 other days of the year where you could release your software.
I think what you're missing is that missing christmas means that you miss something like half your annual revenue (may actually be only 30%). It may not affect MS financially so much because they're MS - you'll probably buy something from them, but that means Vista is delayed yet another year, and MS consulting can't sell Vista until spring, so that's some PR lost.
I'm sorry to say that you should spend the next week sending out resumes instead of putting in unpaid overtime.
Seconded. Also, stop working overtime - you want to be fresh for your interviews. If it were me (and I'm an evil bastard), I'd take longer lunches away from the crowd so they think I'm interviewing. Even better if I am.
I'm constantly amazed by the tendancy of Slashdotters to just cut and run in the face of adversity. Quiting one job just because you don't get along with every single person in the organization is not a winning strategy cause, guess what?, you're not always going to get along with everyone. Try to be positive and find ways to work with the situation, not against it.
There's a difference between not getting along with anyone and not being able to perform your job function because people refuse to help you (for whatever reason). If you're in an intractable position, then yes, it's a good idea to cut and run.
I think the closest we're going to get to a "pervasive avatar" is a unified website where everyone can see how Jim Bob is doing in WoW, Vendetta Online, and GTA
I'd like to see the ability to design your own character model, within limits (height requirements, opacity, grab points for hanging stuff off of it). You'd see people running around as a giant penis, but dammit, that's what some people want!
Who in their right minds saves money? Once you have $10k in an account, the best thing to do is invest that money. Of course, that means you won't show up on the US savings rate, but who really cares?
Personally I think my job would be much easier if my desktop monitor were a 45 inch LCD display running at 4096x2304, but that ain't gonna happen. Is it because my employers are a bunch of luddite bastards, or is it because they know what's better for me? I would argue the latter.
A little more tinkering, and I could make it so that all you hear when you turn on the radio in the morning is Starland Vocal Band's "Afternoon Delight" on every radio in your house, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
A bit of power and you could make it play even when the radio's off.
Well, the problem is, this decision does not advance that agenda. Instead of restricting the applicability of obscenity laws, it broadens them by allowing the fine folks of Bluenose, Georgia to reach out and prosecute someone completely outside their community. We can certainly discuss whether or not his idea sounds like a nice place to visit, but one thing's for sure - this particular bus ain't gonna get us there.
That's why it should be incumbent on residents of a community to enforce their own standards by not downloading stuff that's obscene there! If you live in BlueNose, GA, then just don't go to analteens.com and that's that.
That doesn't necessarily mean you're not contractually bound by one. They've been upheld in several jurisdictions, sometimes under quite unreasonable-sounding circumstances.
You can get Oracle server for as cheap as $150 per named user, with a three user minimum last I checked.
That's great until Oracle decides that each person to walk up to a kiosk needs to be a named user.

Sudo vs. Root

· Score: 1
Huh? Your system is set up so that all admins are root, or something?
Admins are necessarily authorized to do a sufficient number of things that they are guaranteed access to a root shell if they want it. What it comes down to is this: do you trust your admins?
you can still implement a policy that makes it a sacking offence to edit it.
How is this better than logbash? They'll still get shells if they need them.
Otherwise, I'm sure Herculese, Achilles and probably Jesus Christ would have decent case.
I dunno, as a superhero, he's kind of lame - heal the sick, feed the poor, piss off the Romans, get nailed to a tree - all very noble, but hardly superhero stuff.

Don't forget Dresden - we levelled those guys for no apparent reason.

And Fulcrum of Evil wins it by revealling a little bit more about himself than we are comfortable knowing...
Ok, I admit it. I like Richard Pryor.

Why do people think it's OK to joke about this?
If Richard Pryor can joke about lighting himself on fire while freebasing or having a heart attack, I can damn well joke about prison rape.

I'll take option 3: cost benefit analysis.

You can legally do this but you need a stamp...nevermind.
However, the feds won't sell you one. Convenient, huh?
So, did they take 99% of the country with them? I would imagine that real estate in the UK wasw still taxed.
Every apply for a grocery store discount card?
Yeah, I fill in my name and occasionally my phone number. Nobody cares.
That doesn't necessarily mean you're not contractually bound by one. They've been upheld in several jurisdictions, sometimes under quite unreasonable-sounding circumstances.

And that, boys and girls, journalists and college professors, is how our tax system works.
Don't be a jackass. The 10th man in your example owns 99% of everything - he can't just 'disappear'.
I usually hate open source because it is anti-capitalist
No it isn't. It's pro-maintaining control over collaborative work. Go read up on the history of the GPL and BSD licenses.

To me, that's unacceptable. It's classic bait-and-switch.
No, OpenBSD also produces OpenSSH. If you want to keep using OpenSSH, it may be a good idea if you sent them some money.
So configure sudo to prevent them from doing so.
Can't do that - they're admins. A better approach would be to educate them about logbash.
