QUIMBY For decimating our pigeon population, and making Springfield a less oppressive place to while away our worthless lives, I present you with this scented candle.
Skinner talks to Lisa.
SKINNER Well, I was wrong. The lizards are a godsend.
LISA But isn't that a bit short-sighted? What happens when we're overrun by lizards?
SKINNER No problem. We simply unleash wave after wave of Chinese needle snakes. They'll wipe out the lizards.
LISA But aren't the snakes even worse?
SKINNER Yes, but we're prepared for that. We've lined up a fabulous type of gorilla that thrives on snake meat.
LISA But then we're stuck with gorillas!
SKINNER No, that's the beautiful part. When wintertime rolls around, the gorillas simply freeze to death.
are you suggesting to divide that result by 50 then? that wont get you an exact answer. if i wanted to measure one sheet of paper precisely i'd do it with a caliper.
my point was that the measurement not only was small, but was taken to two significant digits. which i would think would be very difficult to tell from orbit. (not to mention the the earth's oceans are liquid and tend to have waves)
i suggest you measure that 50 sheet stack of paper with a ruler that is 30 miles long.
The vonageipo.com address is owned by vonage. That is easy to find out. However, the reason it is not on the vonage.com site could be some SEC regulation about advertising an IPO and having it separate from the main company website. I'm not sure about this, mainly because I am not a stock guy, but I could see this being an issue.
that has nothing to do with the success of fedora, the fedora foundation was trying to be a legal entity to handle the legal aspect of the distribution and it was determined it was too cumbersome to be effective http://fedoranews.org/cms/node/583
sorry. (wait, it's microsoft, why am i apologizing?)
first it's slow. slower than it takes cygwin to load. second, it's too much typing. all the short form aliases are nice, but seriously, remove-item for rm? maybe it's just me, maybe it'll grow on me, but i doubt it. plus, they really should do a google search before coming up with names, the first result for powershell is http://powershell.sourceforge.net/ (the thought did cross my mind)
not the ridiculous concert riders (someone to have water at 34.5deg F, sort M&M's, make catered meals consisting of lunchmeat with bread that's too small), the immense light shows, the 15 tour busses full of dancers, musicians, and roadies, (one tour bus for the star, more if there is a band that cant ride in the same bus together), all the trucks full of stage parts, lights.... you get my point.
to use some other exploit? I mean the steps and time involved to use this would be too long to really be effective, since you have to wait until the machine actually overheats to get to this situation. What's the MTBF for a CPU fan these days? 50-70K hrs? They'll be waiting a while to gain admin access.
take the CIO, CTO, COO whatever. You'll get to a place at some point where you will be dealing with so much crap as CEO you'll miss the hands on tech stuff that you got your CS major to do.
yeah right. i am re-loading a pc right now, using ibm's restore tool. it is loading hotfixes as we speak. each one is completely different. some use/q some are/quiet some are/n some are/noreboot. if that's what microsoft calls consistancy.....
It's been so long since I did work at IBM so I forgot about MyAttachments. Is that available anywhere outside of IBM? I can't seem to find it. I could really use it.

or does 2.17mm seem too exact and a very small measurement to be taken from a satellite? I mean even GPS is off by a bit.
Definately Domino/Lotus Notes.
go to http://www.notes.net/ and download a trial and then go to http://www.openntf.org/ and check out some of their projects.

apparently the molasses moved at 35 MPH -- thats some fast molasses.
i guess "slow as molasses in january" isnt that slow.
i like the second place entry better.

Research firms figure spam accounts for about 40 per cent of the billions of e-mails sent each day.
It's more like 70-80% as my spam firewall allows 22% of email.

how long has apple been working on this? I'm guessing longer than it took for whoever it was to figure out how to boot XP.
had this been posted 5 days ago, i wouldnt believe it, good thing they waited.
yeah right. i am re-loading a pc right now, using ibm's restore tool. it is loading hotfixes as we speak. each one is completely different. some use /q some are /quiet some are /n some are /noreboot. if that's what microsoft calls consistancy.....
ok, you cant call something Kororaa and use gnome as a window manager. granted gororaa isnt really a good name, but still, that's just wrong.
stuck with notes? i was hoping that would mean a native linux version of notes.
ah well, hopefully one day it will be.

Guess which laptop is the preferred one..."
you'd think they picked dell or something.
big enough?
