Ever tried to upgrade or remove a package compiled from source? Even if 'make uninstall' was provided in the first place, it's now gone when you removed the original source.
Actually, only the torso on which said boobies are attached. The rest of the body is not visible so we don't really know whether she's human or some alien race we haven't met before.

Leopold looked up at the arrow piercing the skin of the dirigible with a sort of wondrous dismay -- the wheezy shriek was just the sort of sound he always imagined a baby moose being beaten with a pair of accordions might make.

Please, PLEASE read the rest of the entries. Hilarious.
The sane compromise would be to spend a few hundred (or a very few thousand) on a local community college multimedia arts major who can actually put together something simple and decent in valid XHTML/CSS.
You're absolutely right, thanks for the positive reply! And in your suggestion, they'd support their college with letting the students get some business experience as well.

I'd have to say I like this better than a situation where city hall spends half a million on some stupid hip web design agency who does nothing more than creating a Flash site.
My current CIO hates the way I use email. I believe it is because he hates having a papertrail of his decisions.
Actually, I'm one of those people like your CIO. Often, e-mail is convenient for the reasons you describe, but I find it sometimes lacking -- there's no feedback other than a reply, no discussion or suggestions, etc.
As for paper trail, I guess I don't feel the need for that as much.
I agree, it's not an excuse. However the point I was making is that it's ridiculous that the phone company doesn't warn their customer. I'm not saying the customer is blameless either!
Lots of visible minorities are sensitive about their dying language/religion/race. It is a sign of desperation.
And the funny thing is, it's displayed as a strength, something to be proud of. But it's also a weakness, a wellknown button to push to get them excited.
No, we need to tell corps that they should treat their customers as customers.
I'm a business owner myself. Suppose my customer does something stupid that I know is going to rack up his bills way over his head, what do you think I should do?
a) Wait for him to get a huge bill then call in the lawyers? b) Treat him like a human and advise him what's going to happen?
Not even 3G but just a plain old GPRS data connection costs you at the very least 9 euro per 1MB in most European countries. Consider the Slashdot homepage is about 1 MB with CSS, images and all that.
Some people here will undoubtedly react in this topic, saying that this family "brought it onto themselves" or "should have read this or that".
I'm saying I'm disgusted, utterly disgusted how these companies treat their customers. Why isn't there a procedure in place that calls the customer upon reaching some limit like $500 or $1000 and warns them?
Why not? I'll tell you why. Because this is how the world works. But I'm still disgusted.
That means they have to translate the manuals, and that they need to provide French-language technical support.
Hmm, seems hard to believe. Once the contacts are in place with translation agencies, why would such things take so long? I'm not going along with this one, and guessing that it has to do with production speed not ramping up quickly enough to service other countries straight away.

"The eliminate of the creation of Public Folder store and the connection from this Public Folder store to the mailbox store."
The English the motherlanguage not mine, clod insensitive!
That's a bit ridiculous isn't it? The wikipedia page is very useful. Who cares if it's in the top ten, if it's not useful then:
a) Google will do something about it
b) People can look at the other nine results
For other distributions, it would be a pain. I totally agree that Gentoo does this well.
You're kidding, right? Or at least trolling?

certified whatevers, who applied for a sysadmin position and couldn't tell me what information a notation like "192.168.38.1/24" provides
That's actually quite easy, if you're allowed to use a calculator. The answer is 8.007.
But those elaborate see-a-black-cat-throw-salt-and-spit-over-your-shoulder superstitions? Naah...
No? Well, it works for me.
Much to the annoyance of the guy in the cubicle behind me.
I found GP pretty angsty. Why bother with a "paper trail" for all sorts of trivial stuff.

Eh? The article is very positive and mentions there's an opportunity for IT people here:
IT will be in prime position to alter its relationship with management and reap benefits in the boardroom in the years ahead
Then you complain:
more responsibility, additional liability, same pay scale.
To me, you sound like an awfully negative person.
I once got arrested for batteries.
The people that freak me out are Young Conservatives. Those guys are creepy.
They're in it for the women.

Maybe for some, but not for Dell:
Example: Dell laptop, type Vostro 1710:
US Dell website: $699
French Dell website: $369
Showmaster: Well, well, well ladies and gentlemen, these fine men have come very far in our show! Here we have contestant 1:
I had a 286 laptop with MS-DOS in ROM.
And contestant 2:
I had a Sinclair ZX-81 with OS and BASIC language in ROM
It's obviously a very close call, ladies and gentlemen! We're looking at each contestant its Slashdot UID....
*drumrolls*
Yes, ladies and gentlemen, it's Neon Spiral Injector who obviously has the advantage here!
(until people start developing crapware for Linux anyway)
