Oh, look at Mr. fancy pants, he has a HARD DRIVE and a NAIL. When I was a kid we DREAMED of having a hard drive and nails hadn't been invented. We had a pointy stick and a deck of Univac 90 column punch cards.

Inspiration or intoxication? The page looked real prety when it first rendered then I maximized it and the menu bar on the right was now in the middle of the page. I may not be a css weenie but my pages all work no matter how big you make your browser window. Not doing so is a pet peeve.
Why yes, I do; I was flows down by Globecomm (now mail.com) just after they did this; the guys were the same ones that took Yahoo public. They had optimistic expectations for $400M and made $800M. They were shocked. This was probbaly one of the things that fueled the dotcom feeding frenzy.
There's no point in applying some ideological purity test to Unisys. As Rob pointed out, they speak with forked tongue. Not unlike IBM, who claims to be investing billions in Linux, but recommends Microsoft ® Windows ® XP Professional and generally assumes Windows is the only OS on the planet when they're not putting on their Linux act.
That's because Linux is a fashion statement; most people don't know what it is, but they know if you have it you're cool, modern and hip.
I recommend Linux to every clueless fuckwit running Windows (but I use BSD).
Back in the day you could leave feedback for anybody if it was positive so I'd randomly leave things like "best Cuban cigars I ever smoked. Thanks!" but that fun is over so now I specialize in utter non-sequitors: "Otters make great pets. Thanks!" (I bought a watch).
Nobody's ever written me back about the dozens of these I've left.

What I don't get is, we have tons of purple loosestrife and tons of bored teenagers with no job; these are the idealistic little twerps that want to save the planet. Is it just my imagination or could all bored teenagers make a serious dent in the loosestrife crop. What do we have to do, tell them they can get high off it? Cross it with Cannabis indica? Saaaaay.... now there's an idea.
I remove all the loosestrife from my little 2 acre strip of the river here each year. It's a tough plant to dig out.
There are places near here where you can see acres of this purple crap. Sure it's kinda cute but it does kill everything else that was growing there before and of course all the things that relied on what grew there before go somewhere else and the whole ecosystem is buggered up. You see more of it each year.
Why did the aliens make the crop circles anyways (the signs)?
They were a roadmap. See, a race that can navigate billions of miles to earth might get lost in... Kansas. So they needed a roadmap.
No way I am ever seeing another M. Night movie
I saw his last one, now rentable. It made _Signs_ look like an oscar winning epic. Mercifully I've taken enough drugs I can't even remember the title or what it was about.
Worst ever: _Queen of the Damned_. The best of the Ann Rice vampire books, but IMO the worst film ever made. "Saaaaaay, if we leave out the first 3/4 of the book (itself part III in a series of VII and doesn't make a lot of sense taken by itself) do you think anybody will notice?"
Then several months later I get a note from one of their financial departments asking me to fill out a survey so they could better get to know their "suppliers".
I know two people in that area. One has no power at home but has it at the office and has checked in via phone and this morning, email, the other isn't answering phone and their server in an indistrial strength colo is down. Jeb Bush has obtained $5M of FEMA funding.
Watch out for snakes! (the largest reptiles expo is in Daytona starting saturday; many venomous snakes there. What an odd hobby)
http://www.pixelsight.com/ is my favorite, it's been around for 6 or 7 years. It's an online interface to some guys NeXT graphics rendering software. Slicker than snot for making quickie graphics.
I'm the cheapest person I know and I actually pay for this.
Amen, I still use old AT clickity clack keyboards too. Every other keyboard seems like a toy and doesn't really seem like it's something I can actuaslly use to do my job, at least efficiently.
They cost big to get. I have one here on my desk that WILL NOT DIE and two spares in the barn. This one cost me $5 from a thrift store and the ones in the barn were free from one of those small country computer stores. "You want THOSE? Just take them".
If I could make it work with a mac I'd be a happy camper. Yes, I said the M word... after two decades of railing against all things Apple somebody gave me an OSX iMac and I couldn't be more impressed. PC hardware is now on the endangered list here... but I am gonna miss my keyboard terribly.

Anything besides assembler is lame. C is tolerable. Java is a training language for children.
"To be fair to the viewers, spaghetti was not a widely eaten food in Britain during the 1950s and was considered by many to be very exotic"
We lived in the UK until 1964 and my parents were completely fooled by this. They'd probbaly eaten spaghetti twice in their lives at this point.
Other foods they'd never heard of till they moved to Canada: tunafish and peanut butter.

regarding your CSS question:
Getting your DIVs to behave like TABLEs
Is it supposed to have a big white empty square in the top left of the page obliterating some text?
(I use opera)
Didn't the author take into account that way more than 99% of the time, webcams aren't pointed at anything interesting?
Yeah but it's that one percent that MAKES IT ALL WORTHWHILE.
(not)
Funny how a couple hundred million can make someone change their minds
I can't be bought like that. Just go ahead and try, I dare you.
You are not permitted to use the word "Olympics" unless you're the IOC or licencee thereof, by international treaty, as a commercial name.
It's one of a few special names, like "NASA", that has greater piveledges than even the strongest of trademarks.
I actually coined the name "POV" for it, and did the initial port to IBM-PC from Amiga
I remember POV-Ray for the Amiga back in the late 80's. So what exactly is this a 10th anniversary of?
Note that "serious about addressing security concerns" doesn't actually means IE works or will work in the forseeable future.
Every world leader is vitally concerned about addressing world peace and you've seen how that works out.

Well, my real curiosity is "why the heck does Canada need _cooling_ the air?"
No kidding. It must have broken the 72 (20C) degree barrier 4 times this summer. Those were the 4 days it wasn't raining here.

you still have to transfer the power back towards consumers on earth, and THAT'S a big problem ....lots of little rechargable batteries.
30 million complete retards, almost right down to every man, woman and child.
Nah, my daughter is pretty smart. She can set the VCR clock, eh.

So send them an invoice.

Wouldn't Sun+IBM be like wearing purple pants with a blue sport coat?
