especially with a domain name like pimprig.com. sometimes life just makes you smile..
But i do wonder if you could integrate the water cooling with the coffee making... use a counterflow heat transfer coil to heat the water for the brewing of the coffee, those chips get hot enough to do the job...
this is pretty par for microsoft, gotta keep things moving, gotta keep the cash-flow going..
which is why i won't buy an Xbox... They've barely just released it and are already looking to "better deal" it. Sony on the other hand wants to milk every dime out of the PS2.. They're still milking the PS1!
While i can appreciate the economics of not wanting to keep supporting older software, win2k is the most stable i've seen out of MS in quite some time... They might be better going with it for a bit..
www.math.com has some good resources you might wanna investigate... bone up on the math and algebras then test into the undergrad courses, skipping the "bridging" courses at the University. If the bridging courses are really $495, that should save you a 1k or so...
You know you want to..
Suggestions for renaming the site:
Macdot
SlashMac
MacSlashy
Mac is producing some sexy stuff, but lately slashdot has red more like a Mac product announcement shill than a news for nerds website.
It seems like showing geeks a command line # prompt is equivlent to an arabian woman showing a little ankle...
I just about creamed myself first time i saw a SSH terminal open up on one of those oh too sweet looking iBooks...
Kinda sad about the thinkpads tho, IBM has been doing it so right for so long, it's a shame to see them discontinue support. Makes me wonder if they're going to do something else with linux on those laptops, given their recent billion dollar commitment to linux..
kinda takes the PUBLIC out of it doesn't it?

Blogspace vs. NPR

i thought the spirit of NPR was freedom of communication?
or was i misled?
i mean seriously, there's no way they could've gotten away with that kind of campaign.. MS would've tied them up in litigation just for using the word windows with a capital W until their money ran out and they went bankrupt.
On the good side, Wal-mart isn't really afraid of Microsoft, so Wal-mart is in the unique position of being able to weather MS's wrath and make an offering of something like Lindows... now if we could just get them to package something decent like a BSD variant and KDE3, and build the computer out of lots of translucent brightly colored plastic, we might have some appeal. Go after that Mac market!
that i'll notice my house/business/server room broken into first..
Ok, let's assume that it doesn't matter at home... Let's say your business has legitimate security concerns for servers... The computer room should be secured with cameras, magnetic locks, security, etc.. is there a need to take this down to the individual computer level? If someone is sophisticated enough to break into the server room, they probably have the resources to get around the alarm on the case...
Sun did this years ago... They called the project "Corona" it was supposed to turn the network into the "bus" and they had drivers for NT, Solaris, Linux, etc...
neat trick but at the end of the day, it's just VNC, isn't it?
I hope the FCC doesn't come after slashdot for downing that poor little website just now....
also, that has to be the ugliest dude and the worst photograph i've seen on a website recently.. Didn't those type of websites go out of style around 1993 or so?
well, it's beta, and they want the windows demographic, so it would follow that they would ship while still in beta... hey, if MS does it, it's gotta be right, eh?
Are we sure this is a good thing? Now every billy joe bob in the territory is going to be calling me up wanting me to come fix his computer... at least with windows there were Microsoft tech support lines and stuff that i could pawn them off on.. "Sorry bud, I don't do Windows." They know i'm a *nix freak, so my number is going to be on the top of their list..
sheesh...
They used the BSD core, remember?
All of you nay-sayers that constantly spout the "*BSD is dead" mantra, how now? the BSDs have a long long history, don't be so quick to count them out..

Trillian rocks... combines 3 or 4 different IM into a single, skinnable interface, and even manages to keep up with AOL's shennanigans...

any good IT manager knows that open source is evil, and has something to do with pornography, and thus should be banned..
