Somebody mod the parent up! This is a very important point that is being largely ignored in all these threads. These are the same people who are pushing the "Patriot Act". They promise the law will only be used for criminal investigations, and yet they can't resist the urge to use illegal means to get a political leg up. If we trust politicians to "protect" us using tools like the Patriot Act then we are fools.
For God's sake people be careful! You are on Slashdot. You are asking for pictures of things that can't be seen. The goat-dude is just itching to show you where things might be hidden. Let's be careful out there.

You might also note that one has to be a Fortune 500 size company to get enough support from Microsoft to keep IIS running reliably. You can bet that when the web admin for Disney calls Microsoft he isn't immediately asked for his credit card number. Hell, he probably walks over to the next office where their on-site Microsoft tech is parked.
No way. The one programmer is going to look like a productive dynamo. And without the programmer, there will be nobody to compile and implement the product, to say nothing of the maintenance phase.
IIRC you are quite incorrect. Microsoft tried to trademark "Windows" and was turned down. The name of their operating system is "Microsoft Windows". That's why their case failed in this country. There may be other standards in those two European countries.
Yeah, and didn't the REXX have some kickbutt battery life too? I wasn't able to google any numbers, but I remember it being measured in weeks, not hours.

There's nothing more amusing than a Marxist dinosaur thinking of new ways to "eat the rich". If you take off your beatnik glasses and read the article you'll see that the tax is to discourage the use of oil, not raise revenue. And for future reference, consuption taxes are inherently fair. Only the twisted, fossilized logic of Marx can equate progressive with fair.
For god-knows-what reason I fired up a generic Debian box by my desk and typed alt-printscreen-b and guess what? Nothing happened except for a "b". What the hell are you talking about? Somebody mod this guy into oblivion!
Actually, according to the Discovery Channel, if the Titanic had steered directly into the iceberg it probably would have survived the collision. It was the long glancing blow across several bulkheads that sealed its doom.
You've pointed out something that I've thought about for years. What if all the money used to make our curbs and buildings wheelchair accessable was spent developing wheelchairs that could deal with curbs and stairs? We're talking about billions of dollars of curb cutouts, ramps, wheelchair lifts, etc. This chair could reverse the trend.
It may have been beaten to death, but you were not paying attention. You overlooked the problem of voters being coerced to vote a certain way. Read the numerous comments above for a full explanation.
What kind of a moron would download and play a midi file on a server? This is only a security issue on a server that is used as a workstation too. If your administrator is a moron then you have bigger security problems already.
We also have a university here. We end up getting some big names in entertainment who will stop here for a mid-week show between weekend gigs in Seattle and Vancouver.

Oh brother! Someone thinks that encouraging Political Correctness on Slashdot is going to get some traction. How quaint.

Step 1: Get a firewall.
Step 2: Close all the ports you don't use.
Step 3: Have some yo-yo bring his infected laptop in and connect to your network.
Relying on a firewall makes you hard on the outside and soft and chewy on the inside.

Yes! It's not spyware, it's GNU/spyware.
Show me a Windows computer with months of uptime and I'll show you a computer that has not been correctly patched.

You keep saying that word "decease". I do not think it means what you think it means. The word you want is "disease".

No, start with the mimes!

You're an idiot. The article that you pointed to substanciates the story. I'd type more but this qwerty keyboard is hurting my hands...
The elevated rail system in Vancouver BC is fully automated, and was the only thing running during the transportation strike last year. Hmmm...

Ditto!
I love my DataBank 150. I'll keep using it until my aging eyes can't see it anymore.
