Hell no! I use CDs largely for backups and shifting project trees to and from work. They are seldom more than 40-50% full. As there is never a permanent marker around when I want one, and as my handwriting is at best messy, I would love to be able to use this as a means of labelling CDs. If the tool could take the CD title and append the date and time, and image that onto the data side of the disk then that would be perfect.
Dog is scraping it's butt on the ground, ask toqer.
If your staple diet was Cat5 Ethernet cable, you'd be scraping your butt on the ground too. Just curious, how did you troubleshoot that one? Never mind. I'd rather not know.
Now that is what I call a troll. Or was it flamebait? Or just plain sick?;) Actually I'm an English ex-pat who only likes to think of himself as young. Enough of this thread already.
Well, maybe I'm doing something right, although I have no idea what it is. I can count the number of telemarketing calls I have received in the past year on the fingers of one hand. As it happened I didn't take them up on their offer of free weed treatment for my lawn (although it probably needs it - I found a Japanese soldier in their last week who never knew the war was over), but was more than happy to play Sprint Canada against Bell to bring my long distance/international calls down to 7c/min. I can't wait for Bell to call again - 5c/min would be sweet. I wonder why some people seem to get ten or more telemarketing calls each week. Are they just unlucky or have they been careless? Like I said, I think the list is a good idea. I just happen to believe that the hostility towards the actual telemarketer is often misplaced - a polite "no thank you" is usually more productive than threats or smart-assed responses. When some low-paid peon stops you in the supermarket and invites you to try a sample of whatever product they are promoting, do you respond with abuse? I take the cheese and run.
P.S. Since when has refraining from joining the lynch mob been considered a troll?
...I don't really have a problem with telemarketers. Unlike spammers, each telemarketer can only hit one 'victim' at a time, they are not anonymous (they can't withhold their number) and will more often than not leave you alone if you say "I'm sorry, but you are wasting your time. Please remove me from your list." These are just people who are trying to scrape a living. This list is probably a good thing, but I really think that people are overreacting.
I just visited the authors' web site at Agile.net. I think it tells us everything we need to know about this book. The home page looks as if it has been through a shredder. Fortunately I have a better back button.
In my experience, there are only two kinds of people who can drink harder than engineers: mariners and gay people. I think it would be utterly terrifying to meet a gay marine engineer.
Knee jerk? I just read it as i saw it, so yes, I suppose that could be construed as knee jerk. As a certain AC so eloquently phrased it, it did appear to be a rather cheeky way of posting a tech support request, but hey, if you can get away with it, then go for it. Personally, I think you should have been modded +5 Crafty-SOB:) Thankfully, whoever moderated my comment as 'Funny' had the insight to interpret my response in the spirit in which it was intended.
This does, however, prompt an interesting question. Maybe/. could have a section devoted to technical queries?
Louis Armstrong, RICS chief executive, said: "RICS is broadly in favour of congestion charging, but this survey echoes concerns already raised by us; that whilst the scheme may succeed in reducing traffic in central London, it may have the reverse effect on the areas bordering the charging zone."
Personally, I had more respect for this guy when he played the trumpet.
...but I'm not sure how well it works with RAID arrays. The softly-softly approach may be fine with individual disks, but if you have to manage a small army of them then discipline and the threat of violence is the way to go. Just let them overhear you muttering something about magnets and they'll soon get their act together. If necessary, format one as an example to the others. They're a bit like kids really.

Nice one. You just managed to post a question on/. in the hope of eliciting technical help, qualifying it with an unconvincing statement that you might even buy the book
I can't wait for a review of a book about Gentoo (1.4rc2) installation so that I don't have to camp out on irc.openprojects.net everytime GCC segfaults on my Athlon MP:)

I'm certainly not the first to point this out, but there's something skwewy going on around here!

If the editors had only bothered to watch last week's show, they would have noticed that the Bathtub Hovercraft is a dupe.

Yeah! Wanna make somethin' of it?

Ha ha ha! He said it again! Stop it, it's hurting me!
...they should consider adding an 802.11g interface to the iRaq. They could call it AirRaid.
Oh crap! I screwed up!

Yeah, but they never warned anyone about this
Did they really mean to sound state-of-the-art by assuming the name of a dinosaur?
