If they had the Counterstrike pad, I'd buy it. Something that forced you do do all the running, jumping and crouching (in-place I'd assume, but still taxing) that you would do in a game of CS, and somehow fed it back to the game- that would be cool.
I prefer the Screwpull myself - a variant of the 'twistup' I guess. A bit pricey, but it works every time. I've heard a few people complain of chipping on the bottle neck with the 'ah so' model.
Forget food. Housing is the kicker. You can't buy a house in Westchester, NY for less than $250,000. Meanwhile, my in-laws are retiring to a really nice house in central Florida for about $150,000 - what a difference.
I believe timing is even more critical than usual when shorting shares - that's because you are essentially borrowing shares to then return then after the stock drops in price. Thus far the SCO thing has really dragged on, so even if you were right in the long-term, the short strategy probably wouldn't work unless you predict with some certainty the exact moment of SCO's ultimate demise.
Amen to that! I worked for two dot-coms before I finally found myself in IT at a traditionl company, and it's nice to have a real work week. On the flip-side, I deal with more techno-idiots than ever before. (sigh) I guess you have to take the good with the bad.
There is *no* way any TSA screener needs to look at the contents of anything I have that is beyond a cursory physical examination.
Yes, yes, but aren't you getting a bit extreme? Why not type a short sentence into notepad and save it to your desktop for this occasion? This way everyone's happy.
Some of the stuff on there seems pretty obvious. Blasting caps?! But I guess there's always someone who must try not necessarily out of malicious intent, but perhaps pure stupidity for them to have to list these things. On the other hand, some of the things you are allowed to take via checked baggage are pretty scary too- like firearms.
If you received an ad in the mail for my product and the ad was contaminated with anthrax, wouldn't I be liable? Maybe not if I told you I used a mail service to send my ad, and that they must have done the contaminating, but at the bare minimum, I would be expected to fess up as to who the mailer is. If I didn't know who the mailer was (blind credit card form or somesuch) I might be guilty of negligence - at least I'll bet a civil suit would say so, because someone has to be blamed for the contamination. Spam may not be anthrax, but there is a conceivable case for liability if we went after the marketers, no?
Ditto here. Without a doubt, it's very cool stuff... if you're into Python. I bought two books on Zope and still wasn't as comfortable with it as I should have been. Maybe I'm just stupid.
Are you serious? About the dentistry thing? I'm not sure if I'm impressed or scared.
Good to hear that apt can do all that - time for me to start learning Debian.:)
QVCS is an easy guide (and packages) for creating a POP-Toaster using Qmail, Vmailmgr, Courier, and Squirrelmail. I stumbled across it looking for a good Webmail system. I'm not much of a Linux sysadmin, but this guide was thorough enough to get me up and running without a hitch.
Never heard of Arch. I've used VSS, but only for small projects. Ditto for CVS.
Hehe, but all the same, I suspect you let someone else do your dentistry.
So, you're saying apt can update my kernel and resolve dependencies automatically? About the only thing that's kept me from switching to Debian is the fear that apt won't work exactly like up2date... that and the fact that Konstatin Riabitsev's fine QVCS guide has always been geared towards Red Hat.
I always overrode the default Red Hat kernel ignore setting so I could get those updates. Is apt capable of doing that too? I'm afraid of updating my kernel by-hand the same way I'm afraid to do my own dentistry.
I run a small business. I purchased a copy of Windows 2000 server with 5 CALs for about $800 or so. I purchased two RHN subscriptions for $60, because they were, by far, the better value. Now, with the pricing structure you have set up, it looks as if I'll have to pay about $300/yr just to keep my small business server up2date, all the while Windows Update continues to be free. Are you at all concerned that you may be pricing yourself out of the small business market?
Systems like apt simply query what is available, and compare it to what you have locally
Is yum like apt? So you're saying it'll look at my system, compare it to the repository, and grab what's needed? Sounds good to me. I wonder if it will still handle kernel updates. I always liked the fact that up2date would do that for me. In all the time I used Mandrake, I never updated my kernel, because it looked too onerous.
Will the yum repository keep track of my system profile? How will it know which updates I need? I like not having to think about this part... just run up2date and let it figure out what I need, solve the dependencies and installation, etc.
Also, who maintains the repositories? Will they be as reliable as RHN was?
What constitutes an identical model? Is it number of cylinders and heads? I don't know much about hardware, but I'd love to try this if I could be sure I would still get that read performance they talk about when using identical drives. I seem to recall they even said from the same manufacturer. Probably because they assume I'll screw it up otherwise. =:-o

Heh, heh. You are so right. The last (and only) time I did paintball, I thought I was going to have a heart attack.

Who is it for Pete's sake?! How can you tease us like that?

There's always Florida!
If they were serious about this, you'd think they'd spend a bit more. I mean, it is the U.S. military after all.
OK, that makes sense. But doesn't it look like the whole picture (in the lab) has a redish tinge to it? Maybe it's just me.
Notice how the inflated air bags even look red inside the lab on Earth. What's up with that?

Yep - so much for $100/month servers.
Ditto here. Without a doubt, it's very cool stuff... if you're into Python. I bought two books on Zope and still wasn't as comfortable with it as I should have been. Maybe I'm just stupid.
One thing's for sure - I've never seen a Gateway in a server room at any place I've worked. Dell, sure- but Gateway?
Good to hear that apt can do all that - time for me to start learning Debian. :)

Interesting tip. I didn't know that. At the same time, 3Ware recommends using identical drives if you want maximum performace for reads on RAID1.
