What's stopping NASA from selling prints of images like this? It seems like it would be a good way for the public to show support for our favorite underfunded space program.

Many places have to have some sort of formal review process to cover their ass. Did anybody's review come into play when getting promotions or getting picked for special projects? Nope. That was all word-of-mouth. All it takes is for one manager to mention you're good when he's having a beer with the others.
The MCSE isn't intended to be a stepping stone for someone who wants to be a programmer. It's intended to be for those who are network administrators and architects.
Blizzard is applying a very stylized cartoonish look to the game, and I think it's much more attractive than the other online games that attempt to be as real as possible.
I've run into this playing with a mail server on my Verizon DSL connection. My mail gets sent fine, but the receiving server returns it with "sorry, your IP Address is in Verizon's block of residential Addresses."
I'm glad they're starting a LUG in Baghdad and I'm glad Hussein is gone. I just don't think it had to cost maybe 20K Iraqi lives and how many Americans' so far.
He's glad Hussein is gone, but thought it cost too many lives? I wonder what "cheaper" plan he would have suggested that still got rid of Saddam. At least he's not one of those people who think Iraq was better off with Saddam in power. What are the mass grave numbers up to now? 300,000 bodies?
...at many of the places I've worked at is that the users have as many as a dozen passwords to remember for different systems, and each one expires at a different time and has different rules for how long and complex it has to be.
Most of them keep their passwords written down on a sheet of paper right on their desk.
I used to work at a large company that had this kind of scale, and yes every review cycle a couple people got screwed because managers had to fill quotas for each level.
However, I've also worked at small companies with no structured review system, and I found myself working much harder than my peers while getting no recognition.
So much of it depends on the management. If your manager is a metrics-whore and rates by #'s of tickets closed or something, then it will be a cut-throat environment. If you actually have a decent manager then he will be able to pick out those people who are genuine performers.
One of the things I hate about "newbie" computer books, is that it's great when I'm first learning the stuff, but after I've read it once, I almost never go back to that book.
I try to stay with reference material like " * in a nutshell" whenever possible, so that it will always be useful to me, and then just google for newbie tutorials.
I've had nothing but problems with WD hard drives. The VAR I used to work for always bought WD for their home-grown builds because they were easy to RMA. All the techs hated them though because we'd have to replace a failed drive somewhere every week or so.
I've read that human evolution has stopped, because modern medicine has eliminated most of the diseases that cause death prior to being mature enough to reproduce.
If one of these superviruses was released, could it be viewed as a way of pushing along evolution, since only those strong enough and with the genetics to survive the virus would live to reproduce?

Anyone that says "'Nuff said" in a review shouldn't be taken seriously.
Isn't a 2D JarJar torture enough?
My chemistry teacher in High School said to never memorize things you can easily look up. Memorize where to look things up.
My college chemistry teacher had the class spend the entire semester memorizing atomic weights and conversion charts.

The reason T3 was bad was because James Cameron didn't direct it. The same thing happened to the Batman movies when Tim Burton wasn't directing them.
If the company is looking for someone to reboot, defrag, re-image, then I'm sure the MCSE might have a chance.
But what else is there to do on a Microshaft network?

Didn't Tom's Hardware already do a story on this?
What a time to be without mod points!

And it's even cheaper from Novell!
The price from suse for five copies of linux is $598. Isn't this still almost half the price of Microsoft Operating Systems?
...a very small shell script?

The same way everyone was saying "sell your Novell stock...they're dying!" a few years back?

Troll?
I didn't intend this to be a troll post. I thought it was a legitimate question that someone who knew more about evolution would reply to.
I guess now I know why I always see people qualifying their posts with "I don't mean this to be a troll...but...
