So they want university grads because they can shape them easily and they don't have dangerous ideas like unionization. Great. And this prof is out there to produce fresh meat for the grinder.
Never having seen one IRL, can some of you folks from across the pond tell me who are using the segway and for what? Is it private individuals or companies buying them, and for leisure or work?

GOD games - Gathering Of Developers. Joining a conglomeration of independent developers sounds like a good way to look after their interests. BTW, 3D Realms are part of GOD Games, as are small studios from smaller countries (Croteam, Remedy).
I may be wrong, GOD Games are part of Take2 Interactive so they probably aren't independent. Perhaps someone can enlighten us.
Add to that most LucasArts adventures

Yeah, the fact that the bbs is still operational made me wonder why the SS hadn't shut it down. It's got a lot of serious shit on it.
However, the CNET article does mention Shadowcrew.com as the site, multiple times. I'd be suprised if they had this detail wrong.
Topics like "How To Replace a Photo on a Passport".
I bet 'thebestofbc' will be happy to know the Secret Service can get his info from the Shadowcrew server after he's made a post like
"...on the old canada PP, we used to cut out the pic, lam and all, replace the pic with a new one, then a thin overlam over the whole thing. looked pretty good, but this would not work with any of the new PP's."
My question would have to be: Teraflops - is it purely an aggregation of processor power, or does it take into account things like interconnects? That is, interconnects inside a single node, and among nodes.
I ask the question having freshly read this article which explains why Opterons are such a huge leap forward compared to Intel's designs. In a nutshell, the bottleneck on a server isn't generally the CPU but interconnects between components. An opteron has dedicated interconnects to other CPUs, its own memory bank, and other components while Xeons, for example, do all this through a slow FSB.

You've convinced me for sure.
Aren't there enough licences to pick from? Apparently not.
Funnily enough, one is called OpenGroupware
Then there's PHP groupware
And Amphora
Finally, always check Freshmeat. It happens to return 76 results for "groupware".
If you go to java.sun.com and click on Java VM under "popular downloads" you also end up getting the vulnerable _05 version.

I'm at work so I can't check this, but AFAIR there were keys to control your team. I'm probably wrong but check the keyboard setup screen.

You ought to say "put the value of b into a"

As a Finnish citizen I can verify that the above is a quote from Shakespeare's Hamlet.
Amen brother! Purify the English language from foreign influence! I say get rid of this Greek sh*t and use the term 'space sailor' instead.
Oops, 'space' comes from Latin spatium? And 'sailor' from proto-Germanic seglom? Never mind.

So they populated a BBS with thousands of messages to make it look more real? Right.

Sorry, just had to nitpick.

Pray tell me, how the fuck do you wage war against terror?
The radical islamic nut jobs LOVE it every time the USA pulls out the guns and bombs. They get more money and support that way.
Oh yeah, and the nut jobs in power LOVE it every time there's a terrorist attack. Their Boeing shares and ratings get a boost that way.
My guess is IE is the most common entrypoint for malware. Virii are taken care of by filters and AV programs quite easily.
My suggestion is to convince your CTO to dump IE in favour of an alternative browser like Opera or Firefox.
My two eurocents.
This one caught my eye: "Alvin's achievements are far-ranging. It rescued a hydrogen bomb from the Mediterranean Sea at just two years old."
Anyone have a clue about this?
I remember Alvin from some National Geographic article I read as a wee kid. Great stuff.
...two things introduced by Nutscrape. These were a huge boost for the Web, particularly commercial applications like online shopping.
