haha, thats pretty funny - based on what you say about your car on that page - your car would lose to this guys 80's Dodge K-car (ran 10.41). Ironically, he has a video of it crushing a supra on the site, its pretty funny to watch
very untrue that the muscle car is dead. True - they don't really make them anymore, but they still make 'new' parts for them. Chrysler just redesigned their 528 cubic inch crate HEMI and sells it mainly to people to put in their older cars. Straight out of the box it has 650HP and finely tuned easily goes over 800 while still on pump gas. add NOS and it can top 1000 easy. Since lots of people like to drag race those older cars, complete fiberglass frontends and body parts are available so that they are as light as todays, or in some cases, lighter. While it would get expensive to put all that in one of those older muscle cars, its not really any money they buying a impreza or supra and hooking it up.
1) The network admins had ben reciving quite a few letters from the RIAA/MPAA insiting that certain shares be removed
also speaking as an rpi alum, if I recall correctly, the riaa (or sony music, was one of the two) actually brought a suit against the school itself in '97 for piracy and they ended up settling when the school setup a more strict policy for student computing relating to ability to run ftp servers, outside network connectivity, etc
still, i find that it took 20 something years to make the 1st cell phone call a bit of BS. They had been around since '47 - just not in much use, and not in the the celluar structure we think of today until '68. Do a little research and the idea that the first cell phone call was mde in '73 is quite laughable
i'm just tired of administrators who leave their sendmail boxes as open relays so that people can do that - and also every person who tries to push qmail and postfix down my throat
Postfix has non-dumb defaults, is quite secure, and I cannot see why anyone wouldn't use it
Theres always the people who have used sendmail for years and years and just feel comfortable with it - fixes usually come out very quick anytime a problem is diecovers and once you are used to configuring it - recreating a custom sendmail.cf file takes less than a minute.
sendmail may have a thousand line config - but theres really only 50 or so lines at most people will ever need/want to change - there was only about 10 I ever had to edit for my config.
some people call any video that is wider than 16:9 letterboxed
2.35:1 is wider definitely letterboxed, and 1.85:1 is not as wide as 16:9 - yet is still definietly considered letterboxed. things like 4:3 (most TV shows, pan & scan movies) are not
most server users should have dumped Windows NT Server a LONG time ago for Linux,
I run several NT4 servers, why should I have any intrest in updating them? They are plain simple file servers - they do nothing else - the lincenses have already long since been paid for - why would I shell out more $$ for win2k3 server that adds no necessary functionality to what the server is used for
I dont know what it is about stargate sg1 that has it doing so well. I consider myself a geek yet I dont know a single person who actually watches that show. Personally I cant stand it, maybe its cause I liked the movie so much and thought the show was a bastardization where they want to milk a cool sci-fi movie for more $$
Do I think sun will be doing well financially and do I think they will still be around are 2 different topics. They will definitely still be around in some way/shape/form
also worth poiting out they use Mapinfo programs as well, which is a much more mature company having been in the computerized mapping business much longer and have been involved with the government for quite some time
The "cheap and runs on your hardware, but is almost enterprise-ready" page has Linux written all over it.
Depends on how you look at it, Sun Blades are cheap and fast, and lots of businesses would prefer a Sun solution over a generic linux one because they know the company and know they wont be going away anytime soon so support will be there
does anyone actually watch all the news?

Chirac did get off his "I am france, I have veto power" thing about a day and a half before bush gave his speech giving them 48 hours. Chirac addressed the media and said he would be willing to accept a 30 or 60 day period in the new resolution before the use of force. Of Course Rumsfeld and Powell said 'we've waited too long' (though I still think if they'd waited 12 years, whats 30 more days - but they seemed like they wanted to start bombing asap)
nope - went to supreme court awhile back

lost 6-3 - women are not eligible to be drafted. You can read about it on the Selective Service homepage in their faq. As for me, I'm counting down the months til 2004 gets here and I am no longer eligible so I don't have to worry about some stupid politician trying to use it as a 'just in case' scenario
not copyright violation if credit is give to the author and is used for reference - think along the lines of when you footnote a paper its not plagerism even though you use the exact same words someone else wrote
no relations between tables, no stored procedures - sorry, never gonna hurt the Oracle\DB2\Sybase's out there for the hardcore database stuff til they do something about that - which they wont since not having those is what makes it fast at other things (they even state that in the docutmentation)
ingore that comment, made when i spoke too soon and conused terms - but there is a term I learned about in college for when a planet doesnt have enought mass/gravity to keep gases in the atmosphere.
don't forget flowers make your able to shoot fireballs, stars make you flash and seemingly invincible, gorillas like to throw barrels, and crossing checkered lines gives your car more fuel
but voyager only went around the galaxy, not the universe. Only in the episode of TNG did a starship travel to a different galaxy (The Traveler I think it was called)

- should have not just any cloaking device - but the phase cloaking device riker's old ship had.
- Firing while cloaked is no big deal, The klingons did that in one of the movies. Easily could use that
- Got to arm them with something those energy shields that they had on Farscape so enegry weapons are useless against them
- Be able to transport through shields. Be fun to see them teleport bombs onto enemy ships bridges

look up Roche Limit - it will explain why the gas will escape and why you cant do anything to prevent it
there always this campaign
take the gloves off - its just leather that got a nickname for the way it looked.
