Can't remember this from Matrix but am I the only one to see the connection with this house and the scene from Fight Club where the windows are burning making a house look like a big smiley?

Sorry, this is off topic, but does anyone know where the term Zap Dingbat comes from? There is a font included with Windows called Zapf Dingbats.
We've had loads of problems with this font in the tech support department I work for, that's why I was curious about it. Haven't seen the term anywhere else. Tried to search for it on Google but didn't find anything.
"They can see that one of the ways that they can certainly diminish our capabilities will be to attack the space systems," said Anderson, who was formerly with US Space Command.
"Now how they do that and who that's going to be I can't tell you in this audience,"
I understand that he can't tell the audience. But it feels safe that he already knows who is going to attack, and how they are going to do it in 20 years time.. *sarcasm*
(ICANN) has asked VeriSign to voluntarily suspend changes it made to domain name service zones that have resulted in most mistyped.com and.net domain names being redirected to its own site.
I predict the most common misspelling of VeriSign.com will be VerySued.com
Because in most inner city, US schools, kids have no access to technology at all, asshole. This is without a doubt, a good thing. Or maybe you just like the idea of kids growing up with no technology education?
If you would have read my comment, I wasn't saying that it isn't a good thing to build the school.
If you would have read it I was saying that as Microsoft is only providing project managers, not any funding, it is questionable why this is so amazing.
I wouldn't want to have a Microsoft project manager for free!
"How could anyone have any question about this being a good thing?" [..cut..] MS is contributing technology and services to the school."
I would say the article makes it look like Microsof is paying for the school, but it only gives project management, training and support. Which probably only will relate to Microsoft technology.
In what way is this such a beutifully good thing?
From the article:
"Microsoft's contribution will not be monetary, but services worth millions of dollars, including a full-time on-site project manager, planning and design expertise, staff training and ongoing technology support. It plans to bring in other technology partners.
"[...] It makes noises on keyboard/mouse input:-) [...] it is 'cute' enough to impress my girlfriend."
Where do you find a girl that could be impressed that easily? No need for fancy restaurants or expensive gifts, just type on your keyboard and she goes mental.... nice!

With the help of the new Winrar 3.1 packer under Windows XP, a 178 MB WAV file was compressed while the clock was running.
49 seconds with a P4 3GHz? Way to fast! Microsoft is going to have to come up with a new Windows XP Plus Super Extra Colours and Multimedia Service Pack to slow things down a bit.
No matter what he does, he can't please everyone. According to Tiffiany Mork, senior abuse engineer at Allegiance Internet, a very thick skin is a requirement for an abuse-desk worker. Her typical day includes verbal harassment, screaming, threats, and "all manner of nasty things."
Like that is different from working in any other kind of helpdesk!

As one of the writers "Wonko" states:
A long, sweeping masterpiece of a movie that lures you in with an unconventional prologue and then squeezes you and squeezes you, like a wet sponge, until finally plunging you back into the water at the end.
I think Cisco should have stuck to their core business and not try to diversify. This move will only be good for those few customers that will gain a Cisco access point for 1/2 of the price right now.
In the end it will probably just help create a new MS-like giant. I've never been a fan av any kind of corporate giant.

There is a very useful knowledgebase on the Microsoft Support website on how to properly install new hardware.
If you want Windows to detect your modem, click Next. If not, click the "Don't detect my modem..."
[...] search for plug and play devices. If the device you are installing is not found, click "No, the device isn't in the list,"
"Now how they do that and who that's going to be I can't tell you in this audience,"
I understand that he can't tell the audience. But it feels safe that he already knows who is going to attack, and how they are going to do it in 20 years time.. *sarcasm*

If you don't want to be disturbed by external sounds, why don't you just use ear protection together with ear plugs?
The floating in water thing is just over the top.
Also, how will all these clothes be cleaned?
Geeks don't clean their clothes.

I've asked many people this but no one can give me a decent answer...
What kind of security check is it to write your signature after using your credit card?
I mean the signature is on the back of the card!
It's like having the password to your computer written on a piece of paper stuck to your monitor...
