If I'm buying for work, I've got a list of approved vendors from the bean counters- *eye roll* and New Egg isn't nearly stuffy enough and hasn't bought any of the bean counters lunch often enough to make it on their list (just my best guess at how vendors are selected).
Where I work, they are reluctant to use Newegg because newegg doesnt do purchase orders. You have to just pull out the company credit card, which the bean counters dont like to do for anything more than about $100.

Me Eight,
I was telling my friends about them when I first got them, but nobody else had the option. I didnt realize it wasnt official until today.
This sounds like a good idea, until you realize that the damage caused by worms is the HUGE amount of network traffic and email that they generate.
Zombies (boxes owned by worms) can and do do other nasty evil things, but 99% of the headache is the bandwidth these beasties eat up. If your "white hat" worm is still attacking boxes and scanning to world for things to attack, it is still causing many or the same problems those "black hat" worms are causing.
Why not just offer a 20 billion dollar reward for Bin Laden?
If we did that, what is to stop another al'qaeda member from turning Bin Laden in (with his support). So we hand the bad guys 20 billion to finance years upon years of terrorist attacks, plus they get a martyr in Bin Laden.
On linux (that I have found) that doesnt really do much. The program will have allocated a bunch of memory, but it doesnt actually exist in memory until it is written to. I wrote a similar thing to test this that hosed a box so bad the screen wouldnt even wake up. Wouldnt even ping.
Well there ya go, proving me wrong. What I posted is what I was taught/told in a UNIX sys admin course (it wasn't really important to the class, just mentioned in the file system structure lecture). It may be historical, but checking on both solaris and linux, fsck is dynamically linked, need to ask the teacher about that one next time I see him.
FYI: The only two statically linked binaries on (my schools) solaris box are fdisk and ufsrestore.
"/usr/bin ->/System/Links/Executables", and "/sbin ->/System/Links/Executables" (this example shows that arbitrary differentiations between files of the same category were also removed).
Actually, there is a difference between/bin (or/usr/bin) and/sbin./sbin stands for stand alone binaries. (As opposed to/bin, which is just binaries) In sbin, you will find statically linked executables that you just may want to use if your system is hosed (ie the slice with the dynamic libraries goes down and you want to fsck it). They dont absolutely need to be in separate directories, but there is definitely a difference.
I would argue that the few times I have installed gentoo made me much more familiar with linux than playing with Fedora for any period of time would have.
Different fault line. St. Hellens is above the subduction zone caused by the Juan de Fuca plate. That plate only stretches from N California to Vancouver Island. Pretty far from Mexico.
Mount Tabor (here as well) is an extinct volcano on the east side of Portland, OR. There are many homes on it and a park on top. It is only around 650 feet above Sea Level and 400 feet above the surrouding area. It is not in the same chain as Mt. St. Hellens.
Mount Hood is a "potentially active" volcano appoximately 60 miles to the east of Portland. This one is in the same range as Mount St. Hellens and could be potentially active. On the other hand, I am very sure that there would be signs coming from Hood if it was going to erupt any time soon, not just signs from St. Hellens.
Another interesting note from my geology class:
The Cascade Range (the mountain chain containing Mount Hood and Mount St. Hellens, but not Mount Tabor) is actually two separate geologic regions, one on top of the other. Towards the western side of the range, there is a much older, and more heavily eroded area with relatively low hills and mountains. On the eastern side of the Cascades, the much younger and taller Mountains were formed on top of the older mountains. The new mountains are formed by the subduction zone of the Juan de Fuca Plate
(a small plate stretching from the northern end of Vancouver Island to the Northern part of California) under the North American plate.
Actually all 3 digit interstates are loops (or spurs i Think) that are considered to be part of the main line that they loop around. The last two digits are the main line (ie 405 on I-5 210 on I-10, etc) Also, if I remember correctly from when I was in Hawaii, the "interstates" there begin with an H instead of an I, so not really interstates.

Thats what we need, trendy cool Linux Stores (tm)!
For those like me wondering the time zone, I actually RTFA:
On Saturday, Mars' orbit will bring it 43.1 million miles away from Earth, with its closest pass scheduled for 11:25 p.m. EDT.
Just give them all ipv6 addresses.
i MORE than DOUBT any piece of software would be even remotely as profitable in its 5th year of sale.
Windows XP was released nearly 4 years ago. I think that there is a very good chance that it is still profitable even two years from now.
I am definitely not saying that this is a good thing. Just an example.
Firefox was a bad movie in the 80's.
They are aparently coming out with a remake or something.
Where can I download the linux tarball?

Nobody's ever made a sexy controller tho.
I beg to differ.

Actually, video games have relatively low retail mark up, usually in the neighborhood of 20%-30%.

Holy Crap! You live in Epler? I lived there all of last year. Gonna move into a two bedroom this year though. I was in 219 if you are interested.
You know if the new Broadway Building is a Green Building as well?
If you actually look the "stone" is really just that Corian counter material. Not like marble or something.

This has been mentioned, but one huge use of CyberCafes is online gaming. Which doesnt work nearly as well (if at all) on linux.
Try Hydro-Flouro-Ether
The guys on techtv made an imersion case out of this stuff, supposedly way better than florinert.
"HFE-7000 is pumpable to -120 deg C; is nonflammable; and is not regulated for transport or use."
Well for reference, I have a 128mb PNY flash drive.
And after formatting, I have 123mb of space. Works great by the way (but not off of my keyboard hub, not enough power).
