What is up with PDF documents? (In this case, the list of items.) Why can't people just use normal hypertext? It makes it harder for people like me to view.
A friend of mine was present at a CO when they were upgrading the power system. They forgot to disable one of the automatic power-transfer devices, so it (duh) automatically transferred power. The power was being rewired, though, so it placed a dead short across the battery banks. These are designed to supply 48V at around 4000A (yes, four thousand amperes). The first things to melt were the battery cases, pouring boiling battery acid out onto the ground floor. It was not cool, not pretty, and not pleasant.
My desktop's floppy controller doesn't even have the circuitry for a second drive. They're not even saving a nickel there. It probably reduces the amount of silicon by a small fraction of a cubic millimeter (~1/3?). (What is the going rate for pure silicon these days anyway?)
And I gaurantee they aren't teaching Dvorak in school.
And I can guarantee that they're not teaching any sort of typing in the Seattle School District. For chrissakes, Microsoft is just across the water and they're not teaching the kids to type! What are they going to do, with all the Indians learning to type at ten thousand words per week!
Seriously, though, my parents were required to take typing programs in grade school. When I was in middle school, typing was an optional, one-quarter class (which I took). Now it's not even offered. What is going on?
Oh, I thought that InterlockedIncrement would have to be linked in at runtime, thus invoking the dynamic linker at least once. I don't know much about Windows at a low level. Besides, I was just making a stupid joke!
See, all that does is adds another layer of fuzz on top of the really simple operation. You shouldn't have to go through the dynamic linker to increment a variable!
Homeland Security Dude? If you're thinking of the Department of Homeland Security, that'd be DHS.
Seriously, though, I'm 19 and I don't have any government-issued ID. If they're going to make this mandatory, it had better not cost $20 like a Washington state ID card.
Don't forget that there's always going to be a need for hardware abstraction and a network protocol stack. Judging from the way things are going, it's not likely that we're going to be using net-booted machines with small firmware kernels anytime soon.

The school district has many serious problems, so that's probably the case.

I can make it shorter.
Jo/e public buys it so s/heOne of my schools always used "s/he" in letters they sent home.

Linux is no entity, sir. It is one of the projects worked on by the Free Software community.
I see that Microsoft is taking good, strong steps to prevent those evil Linux users from viewing this secret data!
Nope, the evil bit.
I misread that as "set the evil-bit".

Actually, they do.
You know that when you post something with that subject, it's a sure way to get it modded up, right?
I think you mean Khufu rather than Khafka.
Still, sometimes it's hard to tell.
Damn. Already spent my mod points an hour ago.
In my country home users generally are billed by the month; colo-ed, peered, and commercial users are generally billed by the bit.
So I take it then that we're talking about DHCP server logs?
The article is vague. Are these the logs of connections made, or are they the logs of when an address was assigned to them by DHCP, or what?
Unless, of course, you're using INTERCAL.
Am I the only Christian who is peeved at people assuming that being Christian means being really uptight?
