"are the few sane remaining Amiga fanatics" - well I happen to be one of the sane non-Video Toaster Amiga fanatics. As to using a PC (spit,spit) for some of the work - why not just upgrade to a 68040/68060 or PPC instead?
"apparently the crystals are able to behave as both a solid and a liquid. neat." - I thought this was what's generally termed liquid crystal - ie not new at all - someone correct me if I'm wrong though.
The different color coded states of emergency are reflected in your face - going from normal sysadmin pasty white to even whiter when you realise it's crashed - then purple when you realise you've got no backtrace - and therefore no hope of fixing the problem.
I think sorting out backtraces on FreeBSD are one of those things that with hindsight are a good idea - but at the time seemed like too much bother. For instance how many people regularly back up their hard drives? It's just good practice - but most users can't be bothered to do it.
or maybe the ghosts are just the sounds of "assorted rodents, and a multitude of fish" - would've thought those were enough to make someone think any house was haunted! Makes me think of the Grim Reaper of Rats from the Terry Pratchett Discworld novels.

What's to stop people buying imported non-copy protected goods? I mean any law that tries to just have blanket copy protection is written by someone nieve, misguided or both!
My personal opinion is that enough has been said - and we should move on - talking about how the Twin Towers collapsed isn't going to bring them back - and dwelling on the past too much is bad as well - it was over six months ago and if Americans should move on - it was a terrible tragedy yes - but enough's been said about it already.
Another question to ask is - where are all the new numbers going to come from for these disposable mobiles? People are going to want to receive calls as well as send them.
Yes - but wouldn't the overall quality of your rather excellent service be diminished if customers were allowed to resell bandwidth? It would lead to them getting the same revenue for more bandwidth usage - so they'd have to either cut back somewhere - or increase the prices their customer pays.
I thought trademarks (at least in the U.K.) were only applicable to a particular market - ie you could call your company Windows if it cleaned windows - but if it made computer operating systems it would be a trademark infringement with Microsoft.
Yes but at the moment the entire advertising industry is in crisis - so they're probably desperate for the column inches (which work out cheaper than any other form of adverts).

except when the Sunday happens to be a full moon - you forgot that bit didn't you?
When I saw this headline I thought Al Gore was appearing in video games. I thought he's gone a long way down from vice-president. :o)

What do you mean by this "Maybe if they broke out the separate applications...?"?
Another question to ask is - where are all the new numbers going to come from for these disposable mobiles? People are going to want to receive calls as well as send them.
Yes - but there's always going to be differences in prices in the marketplace because the quality of services (as shown above) varies.
Yes - but wouldn't the overall quality of your rather excellent service be diminished if customers were allowed to resell bandwidth? It would lead to them getting the same revenue for more bandwidth usage - so they'd have to either cut back somewhere - or increase the prices their customer pays.
I'll add a few more to those: availability of parts for repair, and competition on hardware to keep prices down.
Dear trademark infringer,
Please stop using our trademark Inside - or we'll put you inside.

Do you reckon Intel'll sue you now then? :o)
I thought trademarks (at least in the U.K.) were only applicable to a particular market - ie you could call your company Windows if it cleaned windows - but if it made computer operating systems it would be a trademark infringement with Microsoft.
Well it's typical Microsoft tactics - if they see something they like they either :-
a) buy the company
or b) come up with something extremely similar.
That's made me think - it could be sprayed on clothes to power these "wearable computers" they keep saying are just around the corner.
(with almost Vulcan logic) - Surely you can tell where the picture's been taken - from the picture itself?
