Off-topic, but I've not had a printer in 10 years. I do stop by kinkos now and then for the occasional resume or ultra high quality hard copy project, but I do so less and less each year as electronic document formats become more acceptable. For me, PDF's make flawless wysiwyg documents, if any recipient ever does feel the need to print it. High resolution monitors and multiple monitors relieve eye strain and create the screen real estate I need when the desire arises to see everything at once. Internet fax services have never failed me for outgoing/incoming. Flawless syncing with/emailing to your palms/pocket PC/phone/mini-PC makes on the go documents easy.
At work, I am just stunned that the technology that can drastically reduce the need for paper has buried us even deeper in it. I guess their are times when a printed page is easier to use than a computer display, but come on. Printer queues easily take up 25% of a terminal servers resources and who knows how much bandwidth. When I look at the queues, what are people printing? Not invoices for customers...typically users print their email, web pages, PowerPoint presentations and the same document over and over and over. I know some people need them, but I would guess 90% of printer use is frivolous. Oh, and not to mention the cost of paper, toner and fixing the damn things.
Ah well, I guess they keeps some of us geeks employed, so they are good for that at least.
Of course it's always safe to run AdAware[ http://www.lavasoft.com/ ] and if you have the budget, purchase WebRoot[ http://www.webroot.com/ ] for a fast, centralized cleaning in the enterprize environment.
OpenCola anyone? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenCola Recipe on the side of the can, totally GPL'd. It was done to explain opensource to the public and wasn't meant as a serious venture, but they sold about 150,000 cans.
No. It's just disappointing space travel is still so fragile. I suppose that foam insulation would be blasted by a good strike though, maybe even the shuttle tiles.
Kinda like having a vinyl top'd jeep and canceling a road trip because the forecast calls for lightning.
As for Apollo 12, I imagine it would have been possible to shield things a bit better, as with other avionic endeavors of the day. 'course budgets and all.
Shuttle launches remind me of a road traveler carefully calculating the time when he will hit all the green lights on his trip. So much as a sprinkling of rain throws everything off. All this because he doesn't have enough gas.
I don't know how this was missed, but VMware GSX has been free for a few months now, to compete with MS virtual server. Havn't tried qemu or xen yet, but VMware runs rings around MS virtual server disk I/O wise (that and it runs on Linux)
Just when I was running out of rackspace! (and electrical outlets)
Just force Perl users to register as human WMD's! And make them tatoo #!/usr/bin/perl -W on their forheads (or just #!perl -W for windoze perl hackers)
I would love a comparison between Rails and perls Maypole and Catalyst or Phythons TurboGears and Django or php's cakePHP and smart3
Hard to find Ruby programmers, and their are more commonly known languages with comparable frameworks, some of which have been around longer (like maypole). Then again, Ruby fanatics are generally cream of the crop programmers and one wouldn't have to worry about PHP n00bs who can't really code or perl programmers who write line noise or the overhead of Java and it's seemingly required department of architects
Seems other languages are just as good, just harder to manage, but if you have top notch PHP programmers and Perl programmers who work well together to write maintainable code , I wonder how they would compare then?
Just converting all the U.S. agricultural waste into oil and gas would yield the energy equivalent of 4 billion barrels of oil annually. In 2001 the United States imported 4.2 billion barrels of oil.
The company is producing quality for about $80.00 per barrel, but have caught so much hell from local and state government and indifference from the fed that they're pack'in up and going to Europe!
I've specifically decided not to go for any security certs because of hoo-haw attitudes demonstrated in articles like this. As a regular sys-admin, no one listens to my recommendations in the first place, why ratchet up the accountability by being a certified scapegoat?
This article is a riot act equivalent to calling out doctors to take accountability for people who run with scissors.
Good material for solar powered airships/blimps to jumpstart super cheap air-cargo. nough power to get a good clip and even replenish bouency with hydrogen from ocean/lake.
Yeah, yeah, hindenburg and all. Did any one on that thing die from fire or did they ALL jump out?

Being a general user and having no dicipline.

But users...are...getting...worse.
When your concept of file structure is such that you can't navigate to a file outside of "My Documents", security is really futile.
Until companies put a moratorium on hiring art-history majors and giving them a laptop, it's a bit much to ask.

I dunno, might make a good bumper sticker.
