Where the hell are you from? Must be american with a comment like that. Ive yet to meet a person in europe who doesnt know what a plough is. Do you not learn about agricultural history in school? Most irish ppl like me know what a plough is from the moment were born =P
Except that a moebius strip is actually finite, you will arrive back where you started.
Can keep going infinitely but it is not an infinite piece of tape
I had a similar situation in my last job, where the more work i did or the faster i did it, the more work i got. When i started dosing off and reading slashdot between tasks workload dropped! This caused me to freak out and quit.
I think the problem is the amount of people who simply do the bare minimum of work to get by is massive in comparison to people who just want to get the work done.
Printers were the bane of my existence in my last job. Checked the support database and 70% of calls were about printers!. Most of them were easily fixable problems aswell such as jammed paper, change ink cartridges, etc... But its not like you can trust users to use word let alone change a cartridge. Most common problem, not removing tabs in hp laser cartridges!!
Was away for weekend and didnt have net access so bit of a late reply, but of course I tried restarting the service. May have been a windows admin but that doesn't mean im an idiot:-) Im currently in a pure *nix environment so im not the kind of person who reboots just to fix every little thing. The crazy thing about it was that it would renew addresses just not give out any new ones.
I would second this as i worked in a pure 2000 domain but if you actually think about uptime exactly how often do win2k servers reboot? We were generally rebooting the things every couple of weeks due to patches. Leave one up for more than 60 days and things start to get wierd. For instance our DCHP server decided to stop giving out addresses. Reboot and it was fine. I would definately consider this as unstable.
Something funky going on there as gnotify.exe only takes up 4,576K on my box. Granted i have to say that is gigantic considering all it does is check
mail. Does spike to 7MB when new mail appears but drops back once mail is read.
Theres also a Simpsons episode where bart and grandpa go to Branson,Missiouri and see a
play called Thats Familiar with "performers that you though were dead, like bonnie franklin and adrian zmed..." and at the
end Yakov comes out and says "In soviet union review
watches you"
I really have to add a vote for smoothwall , where i used to work (government office)
Me and rest of the IS section used to regularly beat the hell out the SOHO firewall. My sysadmin wanted to "upgrade" to a big,better,faster sonicwall product (the previous sonicwall product liked to download firmware upgrades and crash itself. Nice) I just said give me 2 hours and i will have i new firewall running. He laughed and said thats something id love to see. 2 hours later after hunting in the basement for p166 and downloading smoothwall there is very little we can throw at it that it cant handle , sysadmin is now a manager. Great }:-) Where am i ? Pretty much quit at that stage. Recently nmapped their network , ports open now include such gems as 135,137,21,25,1433 & 6669. WTF
dude , have to say that is the *BEST* laugh i have gotten off/. in years (yeah i know uid is high but im a bit of a lurker - its the usenet in me };-))
Excuse me, but "proactive" ? Isn't that just a buzzword that dumb people use to sound important? Not that I'm accusing you of anything like that... I'm fired aren't I?
Try googling for The Happy Hacker keyboard. It dosen't have a wrist rest but it is about the same as a laptop keyboard otherwise. And the ctrl and caps keys are swapped around so no streching your pinky finger to death
The problem with NERVA is that you will have all those anti-nuclear nutters complaining that it uses nuclear power and is therefore damaging the environment

kelvin? There are more temperatures scales than celsius you know.
I believe what you are talking about is the Braincap or Brainman after the walkman.
Check out here for arthur c clarkes view on possiblity of this device and we well know how prophetic his vision is.

well seeing as the usa is 3,537,441 square miles total area, 10,000 is only 0.28%
Not exactly. The HARP project did fire test probes out of a massive gun, with subsystems intact. Checkout this site

You shouldn't use -mfpmath=sse,387 on athlons as sse sucks on athlon-xp buts 387 rocks , so just -mfpmath=387

Just a minor nit-pick. There is no Windows XP server
Alright. Say you need a firewall right and have an old p133 lying around but the BIOS dont support booting from CD ?
