they are fully missing the point, if I want to call someone on my cell phone I'll do it, I won't go through the ms interface. Accordingly, if I wan't to IM someone far far away (phone costs) if they are online, I'll call them...
- Pump up those fingers typing.
- Eye-hand coordination.
- Unix manual power lifting for biceps.
- Thinking about using muscles grows them*
Furthermore, I'm proposing new/. section, called 'heavy weight', and, as a first article:
- New monitor installation, extra secion on protein intake for this activity.
Jokes aside, more than half of the geeks in my company are really build up types (or lean girls).
Once you spend 7 hours in front of the screen, you HAVE to do some king of exercise. Now that usually is the gym downstairs,
and/or, football/volleyball/etc, guess the stereotype is wrong.
Just curious, how came we don't have stories about people using Linux and switching to windows?
I don't want to troll but the question simlpy begs itself.
Considering the majority of people here are still hooked up on windows, it's surprising that
moved-to-linux stories are quite popular.
I mean, if the damn thing is already too superior, why aren't everyone switching now?
But please don't give me the 'switching cost' argument. It's simply not valid. You run a bussness, you plan estimates in YEARS ahead. Switching cost is less than licencing cost for any long term business planning. Plus the ability to (f)ix your own tools is the most powerfull leverage you can have.
Really? So what do you do when the power grid fails? I'm telling you, you can screem all you want, but all those sport-types can come handy providing high RPMs for that old generator in the basement.
Furthermore, they'll probably be happy with that new kind of exercise for the muscles. They would only require chocolate powerbars to go on. You can create the design for powerbar in 5 minutes (sugar, wheet, chocolate), give it to them, and have electricity to spend on all those more important projects (neverending-quantum-etc).
They'll of course have food and be together (males and females) in a sweaty environment which is all that disgusting, isn't it. Of course when feromones kick in they'll assure the continuity of the species AND have the design for the powerbars plus to feed their babies (which will be stronger).
See, it's a perfectly good example of evolution at work in these modern times.

the kernel compilarion speed is a benchmark factor for a server hardware.
Ram?
So... what's preventing them from opening AllofMp4.com days after the first site is shut down?
Is there a way how an online bussiness revenue can be *fully* tracked?

why for do they need so much emails??
Aren't all Linux admins professionals?
We have seen this happen with MSSQL before.
it was a news with a slamming facts in it
that would be the *smart* approach ;)
There is a difference in coding between:
a. You go and learn THIS game
b. Learn THAT game and tell me the rules
From the article it can be seen that they are still strugling with 'b'. Still, its a good advance.
Just wondering, can it, learn a human language?
While on that, pay the firemen by the number of fire they are dealing with a year..... oh wait...
I'm interested in that too, if you find anything, please do let me know.

But that's just me...
It's nice you have such good view in according to the current law. Tell me, a birthdays, do you sing "Happy Birthday"?
Hmmm.. interesting thought, is there a threshold limit of emails over which your statement hold true?
I can't understand some people, sometimes spam makes so exciting reading...

* Someone actually proved this
ok, I'll grant you that
so , except 30-something most popular software packages (office & RD use). What else we don't have?

Daddy, daddy, why isn't the magnet picking up the floppy disk? :)

So... I was trying to figure it out but failed, how can you plug/hide a floppy in a iPod? :)
Naah, just the usual effects after 8 hours of coding :)
wtf.. I just copied the first page from google, sorry, I'm in no way selling 5k TVs. Appologies to everyone
