How true. Also note, that he never actually succeeded in building a UNIX. It took a geeky Scandanavian grad student with much more moderate views to take that on and do it.
But hey, at least he got the MacArthur Fellow grant. I'd love $50k/year for 10 years with no strings.
Phone/PDA combos do one or the other really well, not both.
If it's a PDA manufacturer that adds a phone, you end up with a great PDA and a sucky phone. And vice versa.
As much as both phone and PDA manufacturers would like to marry these two products to make one less thing to carry, I'm convinced that from a mform factor & UI perspective that it will always be a trade-off. It's easier to just wear a jacket or vest for the extra pockets and carry both.

If you wish to beat me over the head with your analogy, how about making it a valid one? Adjectives and nouns are not the same thing. If I say you have a big gun, a big server, or big breasts, the word big means the same darn thing in all three contexts.
Actually, John Grisham's The King Of Torts offers a fictionalized, though mostly true version of just how mass tort attorneys work the system. Granted, the plot is a bit far-fetched, but the underlying process is just how it works.
The lawsuit asks for an injunction against the purportedly unfair marketing practices, an order requiring the defendants to disclose their practices to the public, restitution, disgorgement of ill-gotten profits and attorneys' fees
So, a bunch of lawyers get obscenely rich and 2 years from now we all get a $5.00 coupon toward the purchase of a new disk.
Perhaps you should do a bit more research before you slam Mr. Shirky. Having had the pleasure of working with him several years ago, I an attest to his broad knowledge base and keen perceptions. I list him as one of the 10 smartest people I have had the pleasure of knowing.
The fact that he can expound on Impressionists and Cubists as well is a plus, not a minus.
Say for some silly reason, you sign a contract agreeing never to wear the color blue. At some point in the future you figure out that you're much more sexually appealing when you wear blue (and, like most/.'ers, you're not getting enough:).
You can't simply decide to change your mind and wear blue now just because it benefits you.
Your word is your bond. Or at least it should be. It doesn't matter how stupid the issue may seem. Assuming you enetered into the initial agreement in good faith, you're stuck with it unless the other party decides to let you out.
Unless I misunderstand you (and I'm seriously jet-lagged), your assumption is that all Outlook clients are configured with broken mail filters? I'm sorry, that's just not true.
I have many more complaints about misconfigured UNIX mail systems & poorly written vacation programs than I do about Outlook filters.
This FRISK dude needs to go back and look at his assumptions:
Worse yet, if mail filters send out one message for every copy of Sobig.F received, they are in effect doubling the amount of traffic.
huh? If person A's infected machine sends out 100 emails, and the one received by person Q generates a reply to sender, how does this double the amount of traffic. Sheesh! Calm down.
Race, creed, color, sex, place of national origin, and (in some states) sexual orientation.
Anything else is fair game.
Companies are not required to keep all resumes on file (how would enforcement work?), but rather demonstrate a good-faith effort of compliance with supporting documentation.
Most companies of any significant size these days are multinational. There are several legal entities that are owned by one or more parent companies.
If the US chooses to make it difficult for the US-based subsidiary to outsource, it's a simple shell game for aa multinatioal to run it's outsourgins through one of your non-US subsidiaries.
Actually most of what you describe in Rob's old house was there when he was still working for Sun.
I had the honor of being a guest there during the reception held for attendees of Lisa III, the 3rd USENIX sysadmin conference. 14 years ago... wow! Time really does fly!

just a hunch
Some folks seem just a tad touchy about this topic.
Of course, "touchy" is about the only way some geeks lose their virginity too. :)
Isn't part of the world "snapping off" at any given moment in time?
#!/usr/bin/perl print "Those who are staying have already been notified.";
So, I'm guessing that you're a fan of his sex scenes then?
My dictionary defines it as something I used to do before I had a girlfriend and spent all my time on /. arguing.
The resulting implosion would result in the complete annihilation of planet. :)

Unless they changed the metric system, 1000 GB = 1 TB

Of course, it couldn't possibly have anything to do with how poor a job the parents did at raising them. No, it must be something else.

Clay is a true Renaissance Man.

Try not to confuse emotion with common sense.

In this economy, I draw the line at being in the direct employ of the Prince of Darkness.

Welcome to the global economy.
Wow! I wonder if I can get one of these for my wine cellar.

Yes, this particular "Omelette" is starting to taste a little stale. Now that I see it, that SCO ingredient doesn't look so fresh either.
