the Bermuda-Triangle, then maybe they should see if they can't find some of the ships that came up missing in that area. 1. If they find any, they may be able to determine what cause it to sink. 2. If they find any, they can prove that they didn't just disappear. 3. Even if they don't find any, maybe they can determine if there is a large deposite of methane in that area.
What the heck, it would give them something to do, and maybe lead to other research involving the ocean.
Actually, my question is more along the lines of, maybe I can't get to windows update because it's being overrun by requests. This really wouldn't surprise me anyway.
Concerning, the idea of hitting it from a working system, I haven't found one of those 'round here, they're all running Windows;-D.
Seriously, we have about a thousand windows systems, and myself as well as the techs and the other programmers/admins have not found any system that will hit windows update, even when we open the firewall totally.
While I agree with most of what you've said, I have to state that in my experience, knowing how to learn doesn't amount to a hill of beans in an interview. Most of the interviews that I've been through can be summed up as, I don't care if you can learn, if you don't already have the skills to complete this required task within X amount of time so that I can then dispose of you, you are waisting my time. Some interviews have been less direct, some have been more direct.
It may have been misinterpreted, maybe s/he cast daemons, which may have been the original method of spawning them... And since UNIX is older than methusela, it may be in the running...
*if that doesn't cause the bible thumpers to be up in arms,* there may be a reason that the root passwords usually started out being GOD.
Um, 'scuse me, I have a question from the other side, what let's the guy know that the female is going to stick around and be faithful to him. Oh, and what is his guarantee that the child he will be sticking around to help raise, would be his? I guess the overall question I have is, what is the benifit to the guy? Why should he/we bother spending the money, and believe it or not, more importantly, the TIME?
Disclaimer: My perspective comes from dealing with a line of really sh!77V women.
In my experience of driving 120+ miles a day to work, everyday for the past 10 years with no accidents, I'd say at least half the people on the road are below average drivers.
Um, well yeaaah, other than that, I can see anything that you've stated that I would disagree with, and actually I'm not disagreeing with this statement, I'm just saying 'Duh'. Seriously, I have admit that I've pulled my share of bonehead moves in my life. But even knowing some of the things I've done, I still wonder where some people got their licenses, and how they manage to keep them.
Minor problem with your idea, if the water heater shorts, it throws a breaker, possibly frys it, but generally not a big deal.
If you computer shorts, you potentially loose a lot of very expensive data and a lot of very expensive hardware. Yeah, there should be backups, but when was the last time you backed up you system at home, and even if you have done so recently, there tends to be quite a bit of time involved in recovering the "lost" data. Somebody has to pay for the time it take to recover, and it cost quite a bit more and generally takes quite a bit longer than replacing a water heater.
And how realistic are the chances that you will find yourself in a situation in which you couldn't defend yourself with other weapons than firearms, e. g. a taser, a tear gas spray or gun?
I understand what you're saying, but your argument stands on the point that the only use for a firearm is to kill or hurt another person. On that note the gun control argument fails, since there are many other uses for firearms, to include collecting, sport shooting and hunting. Oh, and for those that wish to get into the argument that firearms promote violence, you will notice that two out of those three uses are NON-violent.
As a side note from my violent side, I don't have a lot of respect for tear gas or pepper spray, etc. I've been hit with it; the person that sprayed me regretted it. Oh, BTW, I didn't have a weapon except for my hands, and I was not threatening the individual that sprayed me. He used the spray in a manner in which he attacked me, which seems to be contrary to the intended use of that tool.
Think about it, a tool is nothing more than that, it doesn't matter if it is a knife, wrench, firearm or a bomb, and it is still nothing more than a tool. The person controlling/manipulating the tool is responsible for how it is used. If a person decides to harm himself or herself or someone else, they will find a way to do it, even if they have to use a rock or their hands. You can't blame the instrument for the intentions of the person.
Ok, so how realistic is it that you personally are a target of this country? I will lay odds that you are a lot more of a target in your mind than anywhere in reality. This then leads to the question of legitimate need/use of such a tool.
Besides that, you are apparently trying to bate me into a political discussion about foriegn policy, which of course is going to turn into a trashing of Americas foriegn policy, which, frankly, I'm not interested in discussing since I'm not prepared to defend it. I do not have enough information at this point to defend all of our actions. Also, what I do know, raises questions in my own mind and points to policies that I'm not sure I agree with.
I think those times are coming to an end after things like Enron. Now maybe the execs will start really earning their pay by making sure the company is doing what it is supposed to be doing.;-)

Not necessarily, it just provides the possibility of getting a BSOD with any OS.
So they finally took Elvis off ice and just put 'im in the freezer?
Now you have to forget that you ever knew that minor fact because if you keep thinking about it you might someday start looking at what she sold you.
wait did I say that out loud???
Ok, now we just have to shoot him, since he can't propogate this knowledge...
anthrax is naturally occuring...
not trolling, or anything, just thought I'd point that out for those reading that may not realize it.

That I've not been able to get Windows Update to work for over a month. Has anyone else experienced this problem?

I'll bring beer an nachos, and we can root for India.
field reporters have found that a large shipment of faulty electronic equipment has also been sent to the area.

Based on my experience, I would have to say that Philly is probably just as shallow as the rest of the US.
MOD this UP!
That's funny, but I always called those little furry creatures that played in the water under the bridges dogs.
Well, at the very least, he shows fore.. thought , yeah, that's what I was going to say, forethought.
Oh, yeah, I'm still looking for the other line, but this one seems to have me surrounded...

OK, somebody 'splain this to me, since when is coming up with a clean meaning for a four letter word considered Flamebait.
;-P
I AM confused...
Oh, wait, yep, this is S.N.A.F.U.
Come on, gimme another Flamebait
I thought that was where we were...
If not, why do I keep meeting all these hairy women? Oh god, they're lying to me, ahhhhhhg, now I need a shower.
I'm sorry, isn't that supposed to be
