Is there a saving throw against hype? Does a +10 charisma for small children give you an extra six trillion credits? Can we actually slay George Lucas?
I am glad that these issues are being addressed by O'Reilley now. The last Linux Administration book that I purchased from O'Reilley was nothing more than DNS/DHCP and NFS.
I would still like to see more about LDAP, authentication and authorization, single sign-on, etc. Ususally O'Reilley practices become the de facto best practices, and after a few years in a quasi-management role, I am learning the difference between implementation and implementation based upon industry standards. The latter can be an ass-saver.
I would have your head checked. If you're lucky, it's just a bunch of dudes who pretend to be women on slashdot. If you're not lucky, one word: EYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH!
Truth is, even with a sufficient number of a-bombs accross the world, we'll have a very hard time wijping all of humanity and wild life. Life's a tough mother f*cker, hard to destroy.
Doesn't organization imply logic? The sheer fact that something has been organized pretty much means put into logical groups. Whether everyone can immediately see or understand the logic is another topic.
And pulling wisdom teeth isn't so hard after you've done it a bunch of times. Just like anything else, it takes practice. Unlike removing Norton, it's the patient that needs the painkillers.
I've used KDE as my primary work desktop for 5 years. Sometimes there were limitations, but those were easily overcome. Things got even simpler when we switched to terminal services for some of our corporate desktops. E-mail was always an issue with an exchange backend, but Kontact has filled that void since we migrated to Exchange 2000. OpenOffice handled all the spreadsheets, and the applications that I could not run via wine were first handled by an old box using VNC, then remote desktop once that was rolled out.
There were some things that I couldn't do, but there was a lot more that I could do to offset that. With the extra flexibility that linux gave, and the ability to show off an alternate desktop, I would not go back.
I am by no means a labor lawyer, an accountant, or anything else similar to that, but weren't those set up as a direct result of the corporate raiding of the 80s?
Another major factor in the pension woes going on is the corporate takeover culture in the 80's. Companies that had fully vested pension funds that were worth more than the company were taken over, and the pensions raided. The method of counteracting this was to keep the pension fund worth less than the company. That meant that it wasn't fully vested, and caused issues later on when the mass-retirements occurred.
Creative accounting is used to give the illusion of fully-vested funds, but more often than not, the funds were invested back into the company, and, even if it all worked out on paper, the only way to get the money out was to sell off all or part of the company. This also created deficits when assets depreciated, and the company would have to invest more into their infrastructure, not for maintenance, but to keep the funds vested.
This is a fairly simplistic view of the issues, but there are a lot of steps that occurred, including but not limited to what you have pointed out. It isn't just management and unions that shoulder the blame for the current issues, but the greed of the big traders, half-action or inaction from the governments to prevent the corporate takeovers, or at the very least guarantee the pension funds went to the employees who earned them, and creative accounting and business practices are all to blame.
You can boycott guns, and you can boycott lawnmowers, but never at the same time, as you will not be able to use one to protect yourself from the other.

This is actually good news for corporate IT Departments. Hopefully this can be pushed out via policy at the BES server.
Why? It never worked for Apple.
You forgot 'Pwn3d!'
Or, more people to move in.
Try bringing Mexico in. If that doesn't work, there's lots of countries willing to migrate too.
Or loan him RAM. Or anything else, for that matter.
Oh, come on. They were Sorny's!
Maybe they write better code?
Slackers.
If you get any response on this, please let me know.

Yeah, it was the first 23 episodes that sucked. The ending credits of the 24th was the series highlight!
Whiny punk-ass emo kid. Just shut up and kill.

I'll take that bet, sir.
And for the women of slashdot, those attributes listed in the GP would be a step up.
We could get rid of the zealots if we could dispel the truth behind their message.
+2 insightful, +1 informative, +2 zealot.
You want pedantic?

Now, that's pedantic!

The compiler worries about the cores so you don't have to. Is that too cretin?
Why bother then? Just get a Slashdot account! It worked for me.
