Just to point out the obvious, HP was DEC. DEC was bought out by compaq who then merged with HP. Those compaq proliant servers? Rebadged digitals. The hp branded monitor and keyboard that I'm sitting at right now are identical to the compaq monitor and keyboard a couple of desks over, just the brand has changed (the model numbers are still the same)
The hp compaq d530 I'm using is pretty nice though - P4 2.8G, pity it's running NT4 (as is still the corporate standard here).
As in the email I sent to the Inquirer in reply to this article, it appeared between 11am and Noon NZST on the 5th of may, as evidenced by these archived shots:
11amNoon. Given the positioning and angle, I suspect someone who has access to the camera and was able to make sure it was lined up correctly.
Funny you should say that. Down here in New Zealand, we've just had one of the worst February's ever in terms of bad weather. We've had a one in 100 year storm in the middle of summer. Anyway, there's been a lot of landslides everywhere, and one took out the house that's right next door to Peter and Fran's house. So you are eriely close to the mark...:)
So I subscribed to the lkml through Bloglines yesterday just to see what it was like and also to see when the -test12 was going to come out now that I finally managed to get -test11 working.
I was monitoring it all day today, I step away for a couple of hours to go home, and when I loaded the xml feed for the lkml, I saw one message: Linux 2.6.0, and thought "woo-hoo!".
Now all I have to do is download a nice small 11k patch (which I did on my crappy dial-up in between comment Previews) to get myself all nice and up-to-date, while you poor suckers struggle with your 40Mb download...[/smug]
This isn't too much about the cruise missile, it's more of the IRD (IRS to you) being right asshats. The general gist is:
- Bruce had some bad (clumsy, not evasional) book-keeping and finds out he's got a large tax bill - He starts paying off the tax bill - After a court hearing where the IRD is told off for being idiots (not having a record of a $16k payment and for not having his name right), an IRD employee threatens "We'll get you" in the courtroom - Bruce sells his assets (including his house) to pay off his increasing tax bill (interest and penalties - the IRD always seemed to find new debts) - Bruce signs up with a deal with a US company to manufacture his pulse-jet engines for a project. This deal is important because the manufacturing was going to be in NZ, creating jobs and bringing in lots of income. - While Bruce was in the US signing this deal, the IRD gets him declared bankrupt, despite not being in the best interests of NZ - writing off a $100k debt instead of bringing in potentially millions - Bruce contacts the Minister of Finance and Minister of Economic Development in an attempt to overturn the bankruptcy so the deal can go ahead (get-out clause is if either party goes insolvent) - Deal expired on 1 December. Now that Bruce is insolvent and is not allowed to run a company for 3 years, he gets to go on the dole (social welfare) instead of creating dozens of jobs and bringing hundreds of thousands of dollars into NZ.
While this was happening, he received enquiries from Iran about the pulse-jet engine. He contacted the NZ Trade organisation to find out about selling this technology to countries like Iran, and was told "no worries". This didn't sit right with Bruce so he contacted the SIS (NZ Secret Service) and they said "yeah, that's wrong. He's been interviewed by the SIS and says that they're reasonable guys, it's the IRD who are being wankers.
Or can we poison their database? If the SiteFinder page brings up links to pages of 'similar' nature that have been paid for, then can we put in a million requests for sitefindersucksdonkeys.com and make their db useless, just like the spam tarpits?

He was too easy though as he flew in the same pattern and fired soft cushions in the same pattern. You could hide behind a rock and jump up and fire a couple of times at the same point in the loop and not get hit.

A 2x4 is about a 10x20...
Almost, but not quite - a 2x4 is a 100x50...
Geez, I'm getting flashbacks to WWF with 'Hacksaw' Jim Duggan. "100x50, 100x50" doesn't quite have the same ring to it... :)
Does it work for Firefox 0.9RC?

That a roomfull of Chevettes means that someone has an unhealthy obsession with Vauxhall's...
Nothing is as whiney as a Vauxhall Chevette doing 125km/h down the motorway, knowing that it ain't gonna get any faster, except maybe on a slope.

Roll your own box with Freesco. The base install has telnet and a web control panel but you can install the SSH package and be happy.

THE MASSES DO NOT WANT TO TYPE IN SHIT LIKE THIS:
...and you're done. You do know about tab-completion, right?
bzip2 -d -c alsa-driver-0.5.10b.tar.bz2 | tar -xvf -
Well duh, any recent distro has the patched version of tar so you only have to type in this:
tar xvfj alsa-d[tab]
Note: I know, I know, don't feed the trolls. But anyone who actually still uses bzip2 | tar needs their head examined.
Do you want automatic up-to-date patching of Windows vulnerabilities, or do you want to be able to know what you're getting.
