... if I write a letter to my congresscritter supporting an issue, I support that issue whether or not the original words are entirely mine. After all, presidents use speechwriters -- and this is entirely accepted as the norm (though Lincoln often wrote his own, but that's an abberation.) And yet we say that the president himself (or herself, someday in the future) supports the issue. Why should members of the public be ignored just because they have speechwriters, of a sort? It's the opinion that matters, not the form of the opinion, as long as it's not threatening or rude to another person.
"...and sports a battery that according to Fossil will keep the watch running for approximately 4 days - based on an average of approximately 30 minutes of use per day with the backlight off."
Wow - a watch that can last a whole four days without recharging?
My personal exhaust raises the temperature of my shorts by several degrees. With 4+ billion people doing this world-wide, wouldn't this have a greater impact?
Pay for weekly on-call amounts to 2% of our base pay, whether we take a call or not. During on-call periods, we are expected to be in pager range, able to dial in, and willing to come in if necessary. Any calls taken are subject to overtime (1.5x hourly) with a one hour minimum, including travel time.
Needless to say, we don't complain...this amounts to over $600/month gross, even if we don't take a call.
I recently attended Novell's BrainShare, at which there were a suprising number of Linux sessions. At one of the larger sessions, I found a very ammusing, and very telling demonstration.
Instructor: "How many of you are running Linux in house?"
Well over 90% of the hands were raised.
Instructor: "How many of you did it with a mandate from management?"
I didn't see a single hand go up.
While we now have two official, approved Linux boxes in house, they got there because I installed them without any approval, and forced management to recognize they were providing needed services that were not being addressed elsewhere. There is no way they would have made it in any other way.
For many of us, IPX was the Netware protocol. With Netware 5.0, pure IP is the way to go. We have converted all Netware servers and clients to native IP. If Novell's IP printing solution (NDPS) worked worth a turd, we'd have IPX off the wire completely...
If I'm not mistaken, all the Linux Netware tools/apps require IPX. If anyone has information to the contrary, I'd love to be proven wrong on this...;)
What I'd like to see is NDS integration with Linux without the IPX requirement. Whether Novell's forthcoming NDS for Linux (shipping in April 2000 per my source) fits the bill remains to be seen.

Looks like number one is most appropriate, although I've never referred to my arrays as "splendid".
Don't know, but "go f**k yourself" takes on a whole new meaning...

This could go either way. If Tivo decides to incorporate "features" that make hacks more difficult, you could see prices go UP on older units...

I swap on-call with one other Sys Admin.

I'm assuming you didn't look here before making your "rubbish" comment, where it plainly states:
"Firearms must be shipped via FedEx Priority Overnight."
All of the carriers I am aware of now have such restrictions, or disallow firearms shipments outright.
Actually, they didn't stop shipping firearms. They merely force you to ship Next Day Air, adding up to $30 to the price of a firearm.
I too, decided to boycott UPS after this action. Unfortunately, all of their competitors quickly followed suit...
