How hard can it be to make the tail come out the other side and put it in upside down?
I have a few that do this -- I'll have to double-check to see if it will play on the B side.
AGTiny -- drop me a line if you want one. $10 + shipping seem fair? If not, make an offer. --
Now they're gonna find out about that copy of Winnie the Pooh that's been overdue for 27 years.
Is this gonna make it a Federal offence?
Not unless you're in California, and have two prior convictions. (Then, it's a felony, and you get 25-to-life for the newly-promoted felony charge) How I wish this was +1 funny instead of +0 JustPlainSad (but realistically, -1 OffTopic)
But it's an optical, so you can move the mouse on any surface around (pants leg, lecturn, your other hand, forhead of audience member, you get the idea) --
What is that key between tab and shift? This has to be a mistake. Do they really expect any self-respecting Unix user will by this???
Umm, it's a caps-lock? Just as every Sun keyboard has had since the introduction of the Sparc?
Don't get me wrong, I liked the Sun3 keyboard just fine too (with a CONTROL there, as God intended!) but you're fighting a battle that was lost 12 years ago, man. Move on! --
If they're making this public, then it's nowhere near the cutting edge anymore. Imagine what sort of stuff is in the "top-secret" category now?
Which is exactly the line of reasoning I use when people are creeped out by terraserver.com or the areial images on mapquest.
Then they're really creeped out.
The top of the food chain no longer belongs to mankind!
No worries, mate. We haven't been on the top of the chain for a while. Pray! Repent!
Methinks you mean: "Repent, prey!"
My neighbors are doing a "Science Can Be Fun" demo for some schoolkids (they work at NCAR in Boulder) and the project for this year is making french fries.
PVC pipes and fittings (including a large-handled valve for a trigger) are all available from the hardware store. The racquet was a few bucks at a thrift store, and they plan to spray fries (raw, but still) over the heads of the kids.
The lesson is simple -- stay in school and someday you'll get paid to make projectile weapons in your garage.
Or maybe it's PV=nRT. I forget.
I'm sure the folks over at The Army
are glad to hear this one!

But there is a differing on the use of trillion Trillion:
1. The cardinal number equal to 10^12.
2. Chiefly British. The cardinal number equal to 10^18.
For a time. Then as demand for Linux geeks increases the salary will increase as well.
That's not the point. The misconception held by the pointy-haired boss (and reinforced by this article) is that junior programmers can do the job of senior system administrators if only you use Linux.
The end result of this will be high-profile Linux failures; not because of flaws in Linux, but because of bad decisions driven by drivel like this piece.
I just cannot stop thinking that the great growing of Linux is because is eating Unix share, not microsoft...
Right on the money. The example in the article is Amazon.com's migration from Solaris to GNU/Linux. Microsoft doesn't view this as a loss. If anything, they're delighted that Amazon.com has moved from Sun hardware to something that can run WinXP -- makes the business case that much easier for migration to an all-MS solution.
[Amazon.com head systems engineer Jacob] Levanon says the hardware and software savings are nice, but what has really made the conversion compelling is that his labor costs are down 10% to 20%. Linux has become the main operating system used in university computer science classes at places like Berkeley, Stanford, and Cornell. That means Linux programmers are more plentiful and cheaper to hire than ever.
Translation:
When we had Solaris machines, we needed professional Unix system administrators. Now that we have Linux instead, any geek with an undergrad degree can do the job for 80% of the pay!
Scary. Keep in mind he's talking about the sysadmins for production e-commerce server farms, and explains the cheaper labor by saying "Linux programmers are more plentiful and cheaper to hire than ever."
We don't call burglars black hats and alarm system installers white hats.
Alarm system installers generally come in, invited, through the front door.
There are folks who are hired to test phsyical security systems (airport security audits have got a lot of press lately) who make use of the same approach as criminals would. These could well be considered "white hat" professionals.
Or were you explicitly taking exception to the entire Merlin vs the Evil Sorcerer aspects of the colored hats?
I hear a lot of bitching, whining and complaing about the record companies, yet I don't see a bunch of these incredibly wealthy artists (not this one, probably)
start their own freaking record company.
If a corrupt system made you incredibly wealthy, would you want to change it?
The folks who are (in your words) "bitching, whining and complaining about the record companies" are the ones whose work is fueling the machine, not the ones who are becoming gazillionairs from the machine.
This is giving the teachers headaches in trying to grade the assignments, much less understand them because of the techno-generation gap, and to try to prevent further abuse of the language, have begun penalizing students for using the net slang.
Point one -- this sentence doesn't parse. Take out the comma-outset phrase much less understand them because of the techno-generation gap and you've got:
This is giving the teachers headaches in trying to grade the assignments, and to try to prevent further abuse of the language, have begun penalizing students for using the net slang.
What has begun penalizing, the headaches?
Point two -- the teaches have begun penalizing for this crap? You mean up until now students were free to turn in this nonsense and get full credit?

The question "Do we really need a hat?" from someone who's blog is at whitehatorganization.com
Yes, apparently you really need a hat.
