the U.K does not actually have an "Independence Day".
Maybe that's because most countries Independence Days celebrate throwing off the chains of Brittish Tyranny. I'm under the impression in fact that there are a rather large number people in Ireland who are still waiting to their future Independence Day from the UK.
maybe your company should think about hiring one of the millions of out of work MCSE's out there.
Although I realize you are exagerating to make a point, according to http://www.mcpmag.com/ there are only about 200,000 MCSE's on Windows 2000 as of April '03. That info is from Microsoft itself.
I had a a Coyote Linux floppy based router up for well over a year. We were doing some electrical work and when we rebooted the router is didn't work. Why? Someone removed the floppy from the drive. When? Who knows? Sometime in the last year or so probably. The router only needs to access the floppy at boot time.
Needless to say, when I configured a new floppy I out tape over the floppy drive to prevent further accidental removal of the floppy.
I'm sure chicks really dig it when you talk to them about BSD.

Have you considered that you can't "pull the plug" on something that you've open sourced and GPL'd? You may remove yourself from the LRP but now others may continue to develop/fork what was your project, such as LEAF. It was always everyone's project (being GPL'd) and is now everyone's except yours.
I don't know if this is the same guy but his sig links back to psychosis.com which was a mirror of linuxrouer.org. There is also an ad for Libertarian Harry Browne in the

Here's the post with the sig.

I can't imagine why someone wouldn't hire him. Doesn't Tim McVeigh need someone to run his website or something? Oh wait, he's dead.
I think that to apply for a patent, you should actually have a working prototype.
They used to require a working prototype but they dropped that requirement. For example, Ely Whitney had to create a really tiny fully functioning cotton gin in order to recieve his patent. Old prototypes can fetch big bucks.
Actually the cheapest one that actually omes with a CD so that you can install XP is $81. The one's you are pointing out are for just a liscense. In addition, you have to buy some sort of hardware with that further increasing your cost. $50 looks pretty sweet.
They merely wanted to get Clinton under oath, where he would be forced to make a choice: lie about his sex life, or tell the truth and wreck his personal and public life.
It seems he was unaware of a third option: To lie and wreck his personal and public life.
As long as you don't care about performance.(Seriously. A modified PC is more flexible, but it isn't going to beat custom hardware of the same generation.)
You'd be suprised how many of those "custom hardware boxes" are really just K6's with 32-64 MB's of ram running custom software.
"UNIX the commercial product was sold by ATT to SCO (or its precursor). SCO then licensed this source code to IBM for the development of their own products (AIX?)."
Actually, SCO was Xenix, a MICROSOFT Unix product.
Although IANAP, here's what I see happening. Scientists have theories about how the universe works. It turns out (after doing some math) that the numbers don't back up those theories. So they come up with a Fudge Factor for their equations.
Fudge Factor 1:
Although our theories require X amount of mass in the universe we can only account for 10% of that. We'll create something called Dark Matter that is completely undetectable and say that that fills up the other 90% of the universe, therefore allowing our equations to work and to keep out theories intact.
Fudge Factor 2:
After doing some more math the Scientists realize that the equations still don't work right and that although now they have enough mass they don't have any clue as to why the universe is increasing it's rate of expansion. Some Scientist realizes if they can fudge the mass in the universe to make their equations work, why can't they also fudge a whole new unknown force in the universe!
At some point you'd think they'd realize that if you have to:
1. Fudge the amount of mass in the universe up by 1000%.
2. Fudge a whole new unknown, unobservable force in the universe....just to get their theories to work right they'd realize that there was a fundamental flaw in their model of the universe.
Of course the simple answer might just be Fudge. That stuff is really dense.
In order to recreate your data wouldn't the same people who you stored your data with have to be online?
This might work amongst a group of friends but it wouldn't just allow anyone to connect to this network and magically upload a backup of your data to someone you don't know. That is unless you weren't that concerned about being able to restore it.

You know, I read an article ~ ten years ago and I don't recall any of its detail either. I had the foresight not to post about it though. ;)
How about Linux Users openSource Exchange Replacement.
It seems that Phish, like Apple itself, (and the world in general) do not give a damn about the plight of Mac OS 9 users.

Shogo was a GREAT game. It was very FUN to play. I'd recommend you try it if you can find a copy cheap.
