Would I consider buying a computer with GPS integrated? What do you think? Not bloody likely.
That's fine--and it's your right.
Just know that when you call 911 from your VoIP line that the emergency services won't know where you are.
Personally, I wouldn't mind it one bit. I work for an ambulance service. They know where my radio is every second of the day--it has a GPS device in it. If I press "The Big Red Button", they know exactly where to send help. Of course I can always turn it off and then they can't find me.
I think GPS would be a wonderful solution to the VoIP problem--just use a USB dongle or something so paranoid psychos can unplug it.;)
I think that's only half-true. We don't have anything of value in currency form, but I'd bet any open source developer has more money invested in computers and equipment than most people have in their house.
I don't really have anything of value to add to this thread--I just wanted to see if I could get the nested comments scroll off the end of my screen...
How is that a troll?
US beer is usually more restricted than other countries beer by the FDA.
Anyone ever been to Canada and had Elephant beer?
One pint of that will knock me on my ass--it has something like 15% alcohol by volume.
I work in the emergency services sector in Skamania County (the county that the mountain is in) and it put us all into a flurry.
Within 30 minutes they were having emergency meetings to discuss the ashfall, getting all the services (Fire, EMS, and Law Enforcement) briefed on what to do, etc...
After an hour they realized the winds would blow it just past the major population areas of our county and into the neighboring county (Klickitat) to the east.
Right now Klickitat is getting ashfall like it's snowing...
I had a friend that would always tell me that.
But the thing is--I don't want to be promoted.
I'm sure a lot of people share my thoughts--you don't want to be promoted to 'manager', you just want to let awesome code spew forth.
Slashdot Mirror
Hmm--it says he's calling from "127.0.0.1"...

kids will stop having sex and stop getting pregnant if you make it illegal
I didn't have sex until I was 18 because it was Illegal in my state...
*sobs*
Ok, OK! It's really because I was a loser in high school and couldn't get laid if my life depended on it...
Politely, of course.
Have you seen the new tactics of the RCMP? They're not nice anymore.
Uh, because we're beings built with procreation as our highest priority?
I gotta remember that one. All I could ever come up with was that I was a total perv and could never get a girlfriend...
That administrator is going to get a LOT of emails. Oh, and I believe that "problem" it's talking about is called Slashdot.
Wow. This time we took down a webserver *and* an email server.
Maybe someone should submit a story about those guys who hooked a coffee pot to the web so they could brew coffee from their workstations.
You must be new here...
Where are my mod points? Hilarious!
Yes--and last week it was considered the site for news about google. And before that, it was all about SCO rumors.
Next week, I'm hoping to get slashdot to switch to a new format and start rumors about my ex-girlfriend.
Wow! The lameness filter now filters out that lame joke? Sweet!

The first time that bastard clock tried to hide, I'd find it and rip it's wheels off for waking me up.
...then I'd crawl back in bed.
During the whole de-wheeling process I would have a grin on my face...because I'm a morning person.

Well...usually.
There was this one time...in Hawaii...
If the only tool you have is a hammer, every problem looks like a nail.
No, no, no. You have it all wrong.
If the only tool you have is a hammer, every problem begins to look like a skull.
I don't know about SUSE, but under Fedora Core 2, 3, and Slackware 10 under KDE it works just fine.
Maybe the key mappings in KDE?
Your sig is hilarious.
Did you ever see the SevTrek cartoon...?

Home and End go to the beginning and end of the line. Control Home and Control End go to the beginning and end of the document.
That's the way it works in Windows.
That's the way it works in most Unix apps.
Why not OS X?
I guess I don't 'think different' enough...
Windows user forced to use Linux at work: "Um..."
Screw that. No one raps better than Kriss Kross.
I missed the bus [ohh] And that is somethin I will never ever ever do again
I mean *come on*. Pure briliance. Who hasn't missed the bus?!?
(I'm joking--laugh damnit!)
If I stole 50 billion dollars from the American Public by lying and cheating and fudding and monopolizing and embrace-and-extending,
No one--including Bill Gates himself--held a gun to your head and made you cough up your money.
At any point, you could have refused to do it.
I was blindly giving my money away for years--now I'm running linux.
