how about trashing the mod cap as sugested above and make everyone mods for the story. This is the way to make sure that everyone who cares about the interview gets the questions they want heard.
Mr. Moore (http://www.michaelmoore.com) often puts it in quotes.
It's not about disagreing with his politics (which many do) or thinking he is a moron (ahem, ditto) or anything else. It's about if he is infact an elected presedent or if he installed himself in the position with the help of the courts, a big wad of cash and daddys old mates...
This may not suit your situation, but I get a box that has no significance to anyone else and try to work out how to do the common things I might do in a normal work day, and if I totally screw the box, it won't matter.
I spose what I am getting at is once the pressure of breaking something that some one else is relying on is removed, I can discover and learn at my best.
As a secondary, these things may help
- someone who knows and can spare the time for questions they think are dumb
- a good book, or good web site or other reference that someone who you trust to know the OS can recomend.
- Mailing lists, and mailing list archives;
Remember: All OS's do the same thing: Make the hardware useful - but then you did say you were using VMS:-)/me ducks and runs
-Idiot

More often than not it's for an upcoming program of special television event that you just can not afford to miss lest your heart will stop beating in your chest and the world will cave in around you.
Sometimes it's for the product that brought the program to you (no, the atmosphere brought it to you, the product paid for it, but I useually let that one slip) I hate seeing Energizer adds popup during Buffy:-(
Also the trend is to squish the credits into half-screen and add-up that space too!
fsck commercial telly, SBS rules (think Life Support) ABC is good when they turn the bias down and chanel 31 has the best laughs in town (at, not with, that is)
IPSEC around the LAN is half the story, and a very valuable part at that, but what about when your traffic escapes to a public network?
Thats when you need a tunnel. And yes, you can use IPSEC for this too (smoothwall linux does not come with local IPSEC out of the box, but creating an IPSEC tunnel using FreeSWAN in smoothie is like falling off a log)
Let me tell you my story, I am typing this from a 180Mhz SGI o2 - This is my main workstation.
(nb to those who don't know: 180Mhz on something like an SGI is _nothing_ like 180Mhz in the x86 world! The latest o2's are 350Mhz)
Also in my cabbin are an 200Mhz Alpha (KN15 IIRC) in a DEC 3000/400, a MicroVAX III (KA650-A), and some x86 boxen at 450Mhz and SMP 2x 800Mhz. The DEC gear runs NetBSD, the SGI runs IRIX 6.5 and Linux on the x86s'
Now, for my point, while there is more guts in the x86 800Mhz for raw kernel compiling, it dosen't much matter to me, all what I do is remote. This may not be the case with you, but for me I want a box with A+ build quality for the workstation that I am at, and when all I am doing is in Nutscrape or SSH the who cares even what OS I am typing from:-)
(FWIW, IRIX 6.5 is quite comfortable as a desktop box)
The Best Bit?The SGI o2 I got on ebay for the price I paid for ONE of the CPUs in the x86 800Mhz when it was new. All the DEC gear included and it was still cheaper then building the 800Mhz box:-)
It's all unix so there is no big deal changing between systems (I don't code low-level enough to notice anyway) - and as for gaming, there are the Dell boxes at work for UT lol
Seriously tho, to answer the question (this is A/. after all) If you need to compile wild amounts of code or you want to be able to run a massive code base, then run x84, pay your MSFT tax, and install the os-of-choice when you get it home. Upgrade and repeat.
If your hard core processing is elsewhere, run something that has some Quality in it's build (hardware and software) - it lets you get back to the real reason that you are in front of the box in the first place.

Why is it that people always say "Richard Feynmann, on of the guys on the Manhatten Project"?
I propose we say instead:
"Richard Feynmann, a guy who achieved much more than working on the Manhatten Project"
- or just ignore me.

Well, since this discussion was going no where... at least I didn't mention the lovely Ms. Portman - DOH!

What does ASIO have to do with audio?

I know they don't *say* that it is unix, but in the same way as your S.O. never dumps you, they just return your things and smash up your car :-)
Once you start with what is UNIX and what is not UNIX, well where do you end (i.e. The pope and the kkk are both christians)

you've prob. got a point there
...Gribbin rocks, don't believe me? He wrote a book for the Get A Grip... series, his was Get A Grip On New Science.
I have read a good number of the books listed above but this one made a bigger impression on me that Breif History...!
Paperback, ISBN: 0297827030
Publisher: Weidenfeld & Nicolson (London), 1999
Out of print but B&N have many copies listed as 2nd hand.
...and it shits me to tears.

Damn, Dawn is quite a mover in that episode.
Anyone else suprised at the set of pipes Tara has in her too?
I think it means more than "catefory" does :-)

IMHO it makes it more relevant!
Seriously tho, Natalie was the star. Look for the gratutous nipple shots too! Probabbly the only thing in the film that wasn't C.G.
Oh, good film too, worth seeing
