I'm pretty sure Microsoft can't do this anymore. IIRC, this was one of the first unfair business practices the Supreme Court made them stop in the mid-90s.
The underside of my ergonomic Logitech keyboard (which makes it very annoying to copy!) suggests the following:
- Take frequent short breaks. Get up and walk around at least a couple of times every hour. - Vary your tasks throughout the day. - Keep your shoulders relaxed with your elbows at your sides. Position your keyboard and mouse so you don't have to reach. - Adjust your chair and keyboard so your wrists are straight. - Avoid resting your wrists on sharp edges. If you use a wrist or palm rest don't use it while typing.

The split keyboard design is very nice after an initial adjustment period. I can type forever on this keyboard, but for less than 5 minutes on a normal one before I start to feel searing pain up my entire forearm. HTH.

I agree that having your own rack would be cool, and I would build one if I had the money, but I can't help but wonder what the benefit is over some mini-ATX boxes aside from the bragging rights. Shuttle's XPC line might do the trick and actually take up less space...
Oh come on. If you really need to, drag out all those old 200mhz machines I know you have lying around somewhere and use GRP to install a base Gentoo system fairly quickly. Use a bunch of them with distcc and ccache to distribute the compilation load.
If you run "emerge sync && emerge -u world" every couple of days, you are always up-to-date and only a few packages recompile each time, so it's quick (except for when KDE releases a new version...)
The compile time is not so bad in comparison to making an RPM totally from scratch for a package that doesn't have one for an older version. Customizing ebuilds for new packages is incredibly easy (pretty much copy/paste).
My Linux box was restarted over 220 days ago (241 days, 13 hours, 18 minutes to be exact), when I upgraded the kernel. All other fixes have not needed a reboot.
A forced restart because of a hotfix due to all of Microsoft's critical bugs is the same as if it had crashed, as far as I am concerned.
Hello, this is your wake up call to reality. The RIAA is NOT law enforcement! Obviously, Kazaa cannot keep the POLICE from conducting an investigation through their EULA, but they have every right to keep certain private individuals from using their products. If the RIAA can't use Kazaa, they can't find IPs (unless they use other software, which violates the Kazaa EULA too [read: Kazaa Lite]), they can't file John Doe lawsuits and subpoena contact information.
The RIAA would just funnel money into other RIAA-friendly, info-gathering, lawsuit-filing organizations in less obvious ways than hiring them, like Microsoft did for SCO.
Also, what is the penalty for violating the EULA? I can't imagine that it is more severe than the proposed penalties under the PIRATE Act. And finally, is evidence gathered in violation of an EULA (illegally?) admisible in court?
Recently, ICANN announced it would add some additional TLDs to their root. However, they neglected to mention that they will deliberately duplicate existing TLDs and cause collisions in the name space. It is important to understand what that means.
If the DoC enters a duplicate.BIZ (or any other duplicate) into their root, thousands of domain names will also be duplicated as more are registered every day. There will be chaos, and registrants will be litigating for years, trying to determine who has the rights to the domains. That is called fracturing the net. You will never be sure which website you will see when you key in an address with the extension.BIZ and if you send email, you will not be certain who will receive it.
The other possibility is that one TLD will have to be excluded from the inclusive name space, disenfranchising thousands of domain name holders. In either case, it is the public which loses.
According to netcraft, doi.gov was running NT4 or Windows 98 when it was last updated 3-ish years ago. Does that mean that they still haven't upgraded from NT4?? If their web server is any indication of other servers at the DOI, it is no wonder they were pulled down...
Ooh, I hadn't seen Encore before. It looks pretty powerful, which doesn't surprise me coming from Adobe. Maybe I'll have to kill my uptime and go back to Windows to play with it...:)

These satellites are in geosynchronous orbit, meaning they orbit the earth at the same speed which we rotate, and therefore stay hovering over one place all the time. A satellite in the eastern hemisphere can't reach the western hemisphere, and vice versa (thank the roundness of the Earth for that).
Obviously, security and AV companies like eeye and Symantec have a vested interest in making sure everyone still knows Windows is insecure. This B.S. from Microsoft probably doesn't help their sales much, even though they find a lot of the holes for Microsoft. So maybe they should start releasing exploits publically to prove without a doubt that people still need Norton and firewalls...

Heh, I use this keyboard on my Linux box and I've actually never tried an external keyboard on my Mac, so you win. :)
I think alt becomes the command key and the Windows key becomes alt/option. At least that's the way my Logitech keyboard is labeled...

Where's the excitement in that?

5. Um, PROFIT!!
Which sounds more impressive to someone that doesn't know what either means, 1 or 3324?

No, of course not. They do make DVD Studio Pro, which looks like exactly what he's looking for.

It actually says 34 + 19 + 10 = 63%, but who's counting? Microsoft and Real combined still barely have majority.
