They should have put CowboyNeal in front of a camera. At least they would have one positive ID... ("hey, that's the f***er who stole all those pizza's and portables last week")
I once was told by a Compaq tech support guy to delete some files - any files! - to see if that helped solving the drive's noise problem. After expressing my sceptisism, he made a strong case that freeing some space would make the drive work less intensely.
I didn't follow the advice. But my beloved mother would.
...the software pirates in Asia just got an easier job.
Anyway, when it comes to mechanical widgets in computer history, nothing comes close to the IBM "spacebar button" solution.
The story goes something like this: In the sixties, IBM was running two jobs at night, but between the jobs an operator had to press the spacebar. Apparently, changing the software was impossible due to lost source or something, so this guy came up with an ingenious solution. He mounted an iron arm to a clock with a Lego block on it which would fall down on the spacebar at a given time (don't remember how he did it in detail...)
There are numerous free Unix/Linux packages that do what yours do and much more. It takes a few of minutes downloading these for the relatively few people that are interested in such utilities.
Sorry, but I can't see why would a limited package like "num-utils" would be of any interest.
...Java troll, I suspect. Fact is,.NET is superior to Java, portability aside.
"Does anyone have first hand experience with scaling.NET to support 100+ concurrent requests on a decent 2-4 CPU box with web services?"
Yes. While your numbers lack unit, supporting 100+ concurrent request is no problem at all. Compared to, say EJB's on top of JDBC, scaling with.NET over ADO is a breeze, given a good db schema and a good topology. Architecture is key - learn it.

Note that there might be some practical considerations having a cow in, say, L.A.
Apparently the brain got the bad half (thank god she can't read my /. log)

He still has a problem with spasms, it seems.
Cheeze.
They must have confused Napster with Schnapster.
OK. So let's hope they're good organ-izers.
Glad thay didn't ask cowboy neal - he would have raised the average abnormally high.
Biometrics seems great. But expect the number of amputees to increase (missing thumbs, eyes and - God forbid - heads)

Truly high-tech IBM stuff...

SOHO - Semi Operational Heliospheric Observatory. Sick of it.
I'm sure he's running both TRON and tron.
Nice, but performance is still terrible with large documents. And yes, I have a fast computer.
...can I jam spesific broadcasts, such as, say... "Good Morning, Miami"?
I propose calling'em "phrakers".
I think watching fireworks on 4'th of july is usual ONLY in the U.S. Turn your eyes away from that belly and get real.
And to Mr. Big Shot Reviewer: the skeleton scene was not in T1...
Ehem. This excludes the possibility of highway-speed travelators, now doesn't it?
Beonuts!
Any E.T's travelling by Mars the next 40 years will be laughing their ass off.
An exploding bottle of coke unfortunately prompted my father to end the experiments.
