Yeah, but now we won't be able to record and present any video evidence of his, or any other congress critter's bad behavior to the poor sods convinced they're listening to the new, improved, Son of God.
Problems filing 10-K indicate serious problems in their accounting department.
Like the slow realization that all of their income was just sent to David Boies and now there's nothing left to pay the temps that put together the filing for the SEC?
I'm guessing that, as a geek, you already have a pretty good start with the mechanics of management.
Take documentation, for example. Most geeks have learned to document just about every step they take when writing code, applying patches, and developing software and web sites. As a manager, you have to learn to do the same thing, only on a more granular scale. Should you set Bob up as a project lead, document not only why you chose him, but how you intend for him to proceed and what you expect him to produce.
Beyond that, fostering the right personal relations between your staff is key. Keep everyone as involved as possible without overwhelming them with minutiae - nobody likes a boss watching their every move, but they like one that keeps them out of the loop even less. Do it right, and your employees will perform more like a team, with each one supporting the other's efforts, and they'll all respect you more as a supervisor.
That's right. But it seems to me that by accepting the penalty, they're telling the court that they agree with the original ruling to a small extent - thus validating it. I can't imagine this not being used against them in some way.
Evolution, as a theory, is as established as any of the above.
And to take it one step further, "Intelligent design" is not even a theory. Faith is not science.
What's the point of having a science class if you're going to be prevented from studying the subject?
Here's a question: Maybe, just maybe, evolution is the evidence of an "intelligent design" that they're looking for? I'd give mad props to God for thinking up such a cleverly adaptable mechanism.
According to the FTP sites for new installer for i386 (ISOs here and Torrents here), it looks like we can expect around 15 CDs worth of "sarge" goodness . . .
It would have been really nice to see some more specific numbers for XP. Without the MS specicic numbers to compare against, I can easily see this article being cannibalised by some marketing droid for juicy, anti-Linux quotes. Think about how a movie studio will crib a single, positive sounding word from a horrible movie review to use as an advertising blurb:
About the only thing that can help possibly explain this film's existence is the ingestion of some pretty spectacular drugs.

"This film... is...Spectacular"
Given to the right marketeer, this article could just as easily be re-titled/re-packaged by Microsoft as:
You'd be suprised at the sites that promise to protect privacy and don't.
While a lot of sites promise to keep your e-mail private, most also say that they wil share that information freely with their affiliates. And this, my friends, is the lethal catch.
Some companies can have as many as several thousand affiliates, each with their own privacy policies that may or may not promise the same levels of privacy protection. Since the initial policy rarely, if ever, mentions all of these affiliates by name, it's virtually impossibility to know what's happening with your address once you hand it over.
About the only way to be absolutely sure that an e-commerce site is not going to sell your info down the road is to create an individual account for each and every transaction and delete it when your goods arrive (and who wants to do that?).
Seeing all the grammatical references reminded me of a joke:
A Texan shows up at Harvard University and while wandering around the campus gets a bit lost. Seeing to well-dressed young men conversing on the lawn he approaches them and asks, "Excuse me, but could either of ya'll tell me where the library is at?"
Upon hearing his question, the first young man turns haughtily, and with his nose well in the air, replies: "Sir, we here at Harvard would never end a sentence with a preposition!"
The Texan, frowns slightly, then strolls up very close to the snobbish young man.
"Well, I'm terribly sorry about that. Could you tell me where the library is at, asshole?"
When I was in college there was a continuous bickering between the different department heads over what the courses should be required for which degrees. Every year, it was the Business Administration heads that would ask that the requirements for English be severely reduced to just the basic 101 and 102 level courses and nothing more.
It's sad, really, that things don't seem to have changed all that much . . .

How about . . . when it stops?
Yeah, but now we won't be able to record and present any video evidence of his, or any other congress critter's bad behavior to the poor sods convinced they're listening to the new, improved, Son of God.
Not that they'd listen anyway . . .

Actually, the rapture was last Thursday.
Didn't ya'll get the memo?
I, for one , welcome our new boot-knocking overlords!

Easy. The anti-matter is the one on the left.

Mr. Ashcroft. I assume that your submission to Slashdot was quantum encrypted as well. ;-)
And this would be the point where the jury's head explodes? ;-)

Man, I know how some folks hate change, but, holding onto a circa 1994 program is a little extreme. What kinds of programs are we talking about here?
Microsoft will accept the penalty incurred under the anti-trust ruling, but will still appeal the foundation ruling in general?
I'm glad IANAL.
The I guess it won't...matter!!! Ha! Ha! Ha!
Ouch.
I think I damaged my spleen.
Oh. I thought it may have been:
Actually, it would probably be more accurate to say "'That man tried to kill my daddy!' was named as the justification for the 'preemptive' invasion."
This wasn't a war over ideology, weapons, religion, or political philosophy. It was personal, plain and simple.
Why are the religious so afraid of questioning their faith?
And to take it one step further, "Intelligent design" is not even a theory. Faith is not science.

Umm. Why not just use an envelope? After all, we're talking about corresponding with accounting . . .

It's really sad that someone had to actually explain the cartoon. We are sooo doomed . . .
According to TFA, Dr Gillian McKeith PhD. wins this prize for "outstanding innovation in the use of the title 'Doctor'":
Man, that's just harsh . . .
