Fine and dandy. However, if you told a housewife of a low IQ that she was a Domestic Engineer she wouldn't understand what you meant. I would assume that most sanitation technicians and a fair chunk of administrative/personal assistants fall into the same category.
So, in their eyes you're just a computer guy as they understand what a computer is.
After thought: The definition of System you gave could just as easily apply to a family (housewife) or filing cabinet (secretary). So they're system administrators in their own right. To clarify, you're a Computer Systems Administrator
(Appologies to garbage collectors as I can't think of a instance for a related system)
Well, what about pre-release stuff with patch cables and such on the card? They could hardly re-sell it and they don't need it back as they have a finished product.
And if you're reviewing media - like hard drives the fact that you've used it means that it's contaminated.
However, I can assure you - at least in DH's case - there's no payola involved. Zardon had 2 days to review the card before sending it back. I've got some el cheapo kit I'm reviewing and I've gotta send that back as well.

Maybe you should try out the new ATI Catalyst drivers then? They've proven to be fast and reliable for a year or so now.
And yes, they have released a Linux XFree86 driver (binary only - but better than nothing).
But this is pretty pointless as I doubt you have an ATI card anyways:p
Who needs security when the system can't even run stabily?
That's like saying people on 56k dialup who are online for about an hour a day on average don't need firewalls.
Heck, I get a firewall up before I even think about going online!

UT features one of the best scripting engines for games. UT2003 takes this and improves on it a fair bit. UT2003 also features the Karma physics engine, allowing for very life-like "Rag doll" effects.
I'd say that UT2003 is the most advanced gaming platform available today and will probably remain this way for some time - or at least until DOOM3 comes out.
BTW, if you were going to license a game engine for an AI project, which one would you choose and why?
You're correct, but then Epic hired Dan Voguel from Loki before Loki went bust. Epic brought UT2003 to Linux by themselves.
They also ship the Linux binaries on the 3rd CD that ships with the game. Hows that for a top selling game with Linux support straight out of the box eh?
I use all these cards at some time. OK, I could rationalise the network cards as I only use 1 at a time, but I don't really like opening up my case and swapping cards and stuff when I goto a LAN party (ethernet) or visit my parents (ISDN connection) and go back home (wifi).
Also, I dont use the bluetooth card all the time - it's mainly to connx to my Palm and transfer pictures rarely to my phone for caller pictures;)
Even rarer I use my SCSI card as I'm now using IDE disks and CDR for backup. But I may need to plug in my external DDS-2 tape drive for an old file.
I like all the cards there when I need em and dont want to be messing about changing them.
So, yeah, I use all 6 slots. Guess I'll be sticking with my 9700 Pro:D

Ahhhh - you're unemployed
Thats why I write programs - the satisfaction you get back from the client/users is almost as good as the pay-cheque when you do a job really well.
I understand what you say though. I was what you may call a system admin for 3 years and really didn't like it. Programming simply rules.

Sounds like you do 1st line tech support - which is kinda like the technological janitor in the IT World pecking order.
On the bright side, at least you're not a (l)user

Of course it is. You may need a flight-simulator easter egg in it, but I'll be damned if I'll put it in for you!

UT2003 should play nicely in Linux on it.
If I had that card instead of Zardon, I would soon let you know. But I didn't get it, he did so I can't tell you.
Thanks. After proof reading it many many times last night, my eyes hurt.

But to start implying that the End is Nigh on the basis of nothing more than a silly government plan is, frankly, ridiculous.
;)
Actually, I think it's quite probable. After all, a sensible government plan would never bring on Armageddeon
Just goes to show how much MS is the proverbial "golden goose", turning everything it touches into gold...

Unless of course, they invent monitors that can decrypt an encrypted signal
