Hi, I saw your name on Unversity of YYY's website and would like to know more about the law degree program there.
On a side note, would you like to buy some football tickets?
Thanks!
I have plans to build a space elevator. My plans are unique in the fact that the actual shaft of the elevator is built using virtual reality technology and the elevator itself it propelled using rockets.
Would that be every episode of the Simpons from inception to today or until the release date in 2015, and exactly how many epsiodes with that consist of? Would I be able to store deleted scenes and commentaries? What if Matt Groening decides to convert some of the characters from earlier episodes to CGI, with the help of Stephen Speilberg and George Lucas? Could those fit as well? I need to know this or I'm not buying one.
The real question is, how can we apply this technology to finally seal up the leakage from around Chernobyl permanently? The last time I read anything about it, the sarcophagus that was built around the plant was leaking terribly and radiation is permiating the area. This sounds like a great application of the new process, but I wonder what sort of hurdles will have to be overcome to actually implement the design in that part of the world.
Gigatracks has independent artists and albums with some really great music. They review the artists fairly and allow their music to be downloaded through the site for free. Definitely worth a look. I've found some good stuff there.
The southeast US is one of the cheapest parts of the country to live and do business in. Atlanta excluded. Wages are low because the cost of living is cheaper here. I know there are a few call centers already in the SE but I don't know why they haven't looked at this area of the country more. It seems to me paying slightly extra for native english speakers who could effectively help someone would pay off more than shipping the jobs overseas.
Ok, please refrain from the redneck jokes.
I think that MS is missing one crucial market that they could be poised to overtake. The Open Source OS market. Think about it, if MS put out a version of Linux that was easily integrated into Windows networks, offered better security, and was less expensive than Windows, they could control the Linux market AND the Windows market. I'm not a huge fan of MS or anything but I think they're truly missing out on a monopolistic opportunity here. Isn't that what they're famous for anyway?
As for what would entice me to work with MS? I would like to see an 8 year old kid punch Bill Gates in the balls. That would be worth a small labor contribution to MS. Definitely.

So, if Novell didn't sell SCO the copywrights, exactly what did Novell sell them? If SCO thought they were buying the copywrights and Novell says they didn't, but some sort of transaction did indeed take place, what did SCO end up with?
Probably a Unix cd and 1099 fee AOL hours. Seriously though, it seems that Novell is headed for even bigger trouble depending on the way this plays out.
The last thing I ever thought I would have to buy for my laptop is a wetsuit.
I can't wait for the skateboard version to come out(!), because honestly, I won't buy it either.

That's 50% of the reason I won't use Linux on my desktop. If I install it, I get one of two scenarios.
1- The screen res is at 640x480 and looks like crap
2- The screen res is at 1600x1200 and I can't read a single piece of text.
When I try to change the resolution I either get the screen scrolling around on the monitor or I get a small square in the middle of the monitor. I've used Suse, Mandrake, Knoppix and Red Hat with varying degrees of success but my main complaint is that I don't have a drop down box that will let me adjust screen res, like I can in Windows. At least it's not as functional as the one in Windows.
The other thing is Samba configuration. I may be crazy but file sharing on a Windows network should've been the EASIEST thing to configure in Linux. It's the only way that Linux will ever compete in the desktop market.
I've been a computer tech for years and have used everything from the TI99/4a, a 286 running a proprietary OS called "8n1" over DOS, to my latest Windows XP machine. I dictate what my family uses as their OS (because I work on their computers for free) and if I can't configure it like they want it, how are they ever going to be able to do it? After working all day long, I don't have time to weed through hundreds of man pages, only to find out there are 10 apps that do what I need it to do, but none of them will do it without editing several files and recompiling.
Also there needs to be a big red button in the center of the Linux screen that says -
"I really screwed up bad, please set everything back to install defaults"
With 30 seconds of air time costing a few hundred dollars on even the smaller radio stations, I wonder how much it costs to play a three minute song?
I don't see how it really matters in the scheme of things though. We're already inundated with this crap as it is. Why someone would want to pay to have it played when so many stations are paying royalties to play it on their own? Someone wake me up when a decent radio station hits the air. Then maybe I'll care if someone is getting payola.
One time I got a huge 3ft tall bottle of Belvedere Vodka for working on a PC. I don't drink Vodka, so my girlfriend's alcoholic sister comes over regularly and fills a flask full of the stuff. She occasionally gives me free beer at the bar where she works, so it's a nice trade.
I had worked out a deal where I would work on the local barber's PC in exchange for haircuts, until everyone in town started giving their PC to the barber to get the "free" work done on it. I finally just quit getting my haircut there and the barber quit calling me for work.
Not a very interesting story, but you asked.

So you're saying they sold 5 macs instead of their usual 3? Go Apple!

How bored do you have to be to find scrap metal interesting?
Hovering surfboards?! The next thing you know they'll be converting a Delorean into a Star Cruiser.
If you can't be seriously injured, mamed or killed, you just took all the fun out of doing a wheelie in the first place.
Just put your monitor on a copy machine!
If Stephen Speilberg is involved, Maggie's gun would be replaced with a walkie-talkie and Mr. Burns would fly away on a bicyle.

How long before I can download it off of Kazaa?

Yeah, you're going to switch to Cingular anyway. AT&T bought out US Cellular and Cingular just bought out AT&T. I guess there really is no way to win.
All I know is that if they don't activate this stolen phone I just bought off of Ebay, I'm definitely reporting them to the BBB.
