how long before we have another columbine-type scenario where the kids have learned team combat tactics from playing these kinds of games and are far more successful?
Just have armed teachers camping at the respawn points. That'll learn'em!
If by joke you mean convoluted brainfart which has no mention of anyone other than Jennifer Lopez and you, the reader, are supposed to draw a link between a movie character played by the friend of the ex-boyfriend of the only character other than myself in the story, when the link itself is half-based on the reality of a tabloid magazine and the fantasy of a hollywood production, then I got the joke.
Didn't read that far. I am not a graphic designer, so I have had no real need for a vector art program. I can get by with the one in Gnome's office suite.
Yeah, I wholehartedly agree. But under the assumptions that a) each of the five percent which migrated from linux to 2003 are separate entities b) The admins have say in what is run c) There were no software issues which forced the migration If (solely based on the assumptions) the software does not perform, it will be replaced. If it does perform, it will not. As admins, there is a certain line which we draw as our threshold level. If the bugs and workarounds are tolerable, we simply will put up with them. Should these bugs cross that line, we will rip the server off the network while its still smoking.
I think the entire answer is to put a Slashdot article saying that 3 inches is the average penis size, anything larger considered "monstrous". That'll take care of the crowd here. Maybe we could pool our money and "sponsor" couple of articles in Cosmo entitled Geeks: They know which buttons to push and Computer Scientists: Should you upgrade your current RAM (wink wink, nudge, nudge)
Timing is the issue. It needs to get around fast. And Google is something you can say in an office setting. Penis Pump is a frowned upon phrase (especially when describing co-workers, but that's another story). Also Google is free, and most people don't like to talk about their perversions and similar topics with their friends, it's uncomfortable, to say the least.
As an example, I would never say to one of my co-workers "Y'know Bob, my penis is kind of small. The wife is really having problems with it lately. And it's just too difficult to get hard. I'm under too much stress, what should I do? I don't want to buy pills that won't work, and I'm afraid of getting ripped off."
"Well, why don't you try www.penispillsattheabsolutelowestpriceeverywhere.c om? It is completely anonymous, safe, and hassle free. And it works! My wife has never been happier, if you know what I mean..."
That conversation would freak the hell out of me. Spam preys on people because they are scared of their problems going public. They won't even ask their doctor. I doubt that this will ever become water cooler conversation.
I've never purchased anything from redhat. I have, however downloaded free sources, compiled and played. Am I an apache guru? Not in the least. I can put a page up sure, protect directories, script, etc. The config file for apache is well commented, well documented, and well supported by its userbase. If I can't find the answers I want, then I either e-mail the authors (most times in vain), or take a trip to my local mega-bookstore and ask O'Reilley. He usually has the answers I need, althoug I have to dig through a couple of books for the whole answer. Here's a hint, avoid the books with 'in a nutshell' on the cover, until you're familiar with the program to begin with.
If you have the money for licenses, then I say "Go for it!" Put a thousand or so servers up that do nothing. Then replace them with one Linux server doing nothing. Write a big article how Linux replaced 2k servers with just one box. Recoup your cost as a motivational linux speaker and a consultant. Retire, and troll Slashdot ad infinium. If it works, we have an actual 3 step profit plan seen here first on Slashdot!
And they're replacing the old. No big deal. This is one of the same reasons that Linux got big into the market. Big claims about cost savings, more with less, etc.
If MS new server is a good product, then it should keep the 5% and grow. If it doesn't live up to the hype (replacing 200 servers with 20, saving millions of dollars per annum), its marketshare will dissappear. Initial cost doesn't figure entirely into this either. The software costs for some customers have been subsidised by Bill, and the hardware costs for the upgrades are both minimal, and bugetted because some equipment is becoming EOL'ed by companies three-year plans.
If I told you that the human brain was an amazing pattern-recognition machine, would you give me a nobel prize? I think not. Pattern recognition is how we make decisions every day. Our brain does not compute every possible outcome of a situation, it merely takes previous experiences and extrapolates on them. This is the same reason that brain activity drops off after two years of age. The brain has developed and stored enough patterns to make "informed" decisions. We do not have to re-learn these patterns, only refer back to them, so brain development slows down. Your paragraph only reinforces this. We see each word in the paragraph, and based on the context in which we see the word, we make educated guesses at what the next word should be. We check back to the patterns which we have already created, and verify that we have chosen the correct action. This is the reason why you can look at your e-mail and see what is spam and what is proper better than your computer. This is the same principle for face recognition. We equate somebody's face with our previous experiences, people we know, and make immediate judgements of that person based on skin colour, eye placement, hair colour, hair style, face shape, etc. That's why people have an "Honest" face. In fact, most people that you consider to be honest, look more like you than people you consider dishonest. For me, this is why I would sooner believe Bill Clinton then I would have Marin Luthor King. (and before I get crucified on this one, my true opinion is that Bill Clinton was a slimy weasel used car salesman and M.L.K. was perhaps one of the greatest non-manufactured heroes of the twentieth century)
This is not startling news, this is only a pattern which we have put a name to and examined.

And education without diplomas!
(But who said that a diploma and an education go hand in hand? That's right, my boss.)

I prefer ctrl-alt-del, as that is the way it is laid out on the keyboard. You know, the Qwerty keyboard, not the abcdef one.
When have IBM guys been worried about aesthetics?
Just how much energy would be required to throw a 10m diameter ball of near-solid titanium (minus the volume of 3 people) into space?
Same spacecraft, but same pilots?
Computer equipment can stand a bit higher heat than the human body. Saves on the thermal insulation.
Meat popsicles are cheap. Spacecraft, not so much.
Or do they have to come down as well?
Or "Sams Teach Yourself How to Assume Everyone Else's Identity in Ten Days"
If you build it, they won't necessacarily come, now will they?

It's too bad really. It looked promising.
Free demo available
Or Duke Nukem Forever.
Didn't you read the Win XP Home documentation?
Yes, yes it is.
I'm starting to wish they would shoot movies at 60fps.
With wonderful films such as Gigli and Justin and Kimberly bing made every day, I'd be happy if they just shot the movies, period.
YES!
oh, and Star Trek will look nice as well.

Man drinking is great.
Care to punctuate that? Or should we read it as is?
