At the time, I said we better figure out a way to get WINE to run Photoshop
For $40, you can buy the commercial version of Wine called CrossOver Office. They heavily sponsor and commit to Wine sources. Photoshop has several entries in the compatibility database. Version 7 has a "silver medal", however CS and CS2 are known not to work.
Of course? What do you mean, "of course"? Let me finish that "of course": "It might be a security risk, but of course we also have an internal customer to service."
As opposed to your "of course", let me repeat some things that the sysadmins said at the place where I work:
"We have an internal Subversion server which we maintain and you probably need an account"
"Did you know you can tunnel straight into your workstation from home?"
"I'm discussing a Jabber server with the other sysadmins for faster communication with the other office."
"Shall we make the company Wiki accessible outside of the firewall? We'll have it password-protected, of course"
when I am getting yelled at for not being able to read a manager's mind
As someone from NW-Europe, this kind of story always amazes me. Visiting Americans from the company HQ are always absolutely shocked when people are muttering obscenities while programming. On the other hand, people here would NEVER put up with a manager raising his voice. Cultural differences?
A year later i moved to and eventualy got a degree in electronics engineering.
[...] from developer to designer to technical architect/analyst.
I've been there. Try to find a job where your degree is more useful, for example in the embedded tech industry, or even in the space tech industry.
I never asked for advice. I just installed a wiki (which didn't need a database) in my account on a development box. Then maintained a quotes database, just for the fun of it. When other devs heard about it, it quickly gained speed and last thing I heard were the sysadmins. They had asked a manager and a teamleader if we could start using another wiki which came with Debian, so they could support it....
Back in 1998, when doing a lot of hiring, I was instructed to "prefer" minorities when evaluating candidates to increase our diversity.
In e-mail? In a meeting? Or at the desk? Because to get that sort of instructions in an e-mail would be pretty funny to print out.
In the past, managers promised me things in a private meeting and after the meeting, just before turning right to the coffee corner, I'd ask them, "Oh by the way, can you put that on an e-mail to me?".
Sometimes they do. Often, they get pissed and then I ask why such a little request irritated them. Always, the mail is completely different from what's promised.
Of course the non-math's want more math's to do the work for them and tell them what to do... but is it a good carreer?
De enige goede carrière mijns inziens is die waarin je het naar je zin hebt. In vrijwel elke baan is er een hierarchie oftewel iemand die zegt wat je moet doen. Maar op HBO/universitair niveau wordt alles al gauw een overleg situatie, ook al is er formeel een manager-medewerker relatie. Ligt uiteraard ook aan je eigen opstelling.
If you're Dave, please make an account so we can see who you are, befriend you (i.e. notice comments made by you) et cetera. As of now, any AC idiot can reply.
You say "much meatier and tastier than the local tree squirrels", but how many pounds of meat comes off one ground squirrel?
I'd like a guessing exercise. You don't want an older one. By the looks of it, my estimate is that a 1-year-old doesn't weight more than, say, 20 pounds. That'd mean (not counting the stuff you make soup or broth with) about 3 pounds of real good meat.
I noticed some ground squirrels eating the remains
What I don't understand is how those ground squirrels could eat after you grounded them. Did you ground them so course that they came out in one piece after the grounding?
I've never understood why people need "turnkey solutions" for things like these.
It's one possible measure for the amount of care that's put in the product. You can say this doesn't go for this particular product, but lots of times adoption of a product starts with someone who has 15 minutes of spare time.
If the product doesn't show a few nice things within those 15 minutes, it just might be possible it's not looked further into.
I'm not saying this is the correct procedure to evaluate an important piece of software like an LDAP server, but I'm certain this scenario really happens.

No.
This depends on how much you use the monitor. It may not be worthwile to replace the existing monitor.
Time, that is.
That's easy. I can stop any tome.
This has actually been done some years ago, see the kissme project.

In my (offline) roleplaying days, this wouldn't mean marriage. This would mean an XP-gathering bloodbath would ensue.

I don't know whether you've thought of it, but you could try Wine or (more stable IMHO) the commercial version CrossOver Office.
But I'll grant you it's probably less trouble to run it like you currently do.
I already am an experienced knife juggler, but I'm thinking about knife throwing. Any ACs care to help me?
However, that's too late for your current client.

That's a shame, because I usually start examining females from the neck down.

How far off am I?

In fact, I had an entire Wiki wiped out by someone who didn't "agree" with the thrust ofo my project
You can't "wipe an entire Wiki". The whole freaking point is that you can revert changes. What Wiki were you using?
I had to find an intermediary to help me negotiate with this person, just to get him to cease and desist.
Almost every Wiki in existance has a page where you can block users. If they're anonymous, block them with their IP address.
OK OK, I can do without a few of my gadgets, but THE ELECTRONIC DANCING HAMSTER STAYS!
