I think that may have been a usage of a miniscule amount of poetic license/exaggeration. I'm not certain though because Open Source really does kill babies.
What was the total cost and how much time did you take off work? I've got a horrible snoring problem as well and am interested in getting something done about it; I'd like to hear the problems/solutions others have used to reduce their snoring.
In the dream, I control all water flowing in and out of India, which so happens to look exactly like Downtown Toledo, Ohio (where I'm from.)
I will bring clean water to one block for free, but then charge the next block money. Each additional block that I bring clean water to gets charged a higher fee.
Also, I only get this dream when I take Melatonin before falling asleep. Woo hoo for messing with your hormones!
a) I am a "water baron" in India. (not sure what that means) OR b) I'm back in high school as an adult going for my second diploma as if it were a bachelor's degree.
I don't think I would want to play those types of video games.
'Tis true about Free/OpenS/WAN. I had to set up a few site-to-site connections between various incarnations of Firewall-1 and small Linux boxen in my prior life as a consultant.
Checkpoint built their own version of Linux called SecurePlatform specifically for running their firewall, management tools, and other software.
Quite often, the GUI and end user tools only ran on Windows, but the real meat-and-potatoes was usually supported on Linux.
I actually liked being a telemarketer. But I think that's because I'm a VERY laid back guy and I understood the person on the other end wasn't venting at me. And you're right, the money is great for a college kid. A friend of mine was making 45K/year working 25 hours a week while still in high school.
I'm not sure how this has changed since I was telemarketing (1998-1999), but we had to consolidate our lists and were forbidden to call the same number for a full year.
It was a much easier process at the first place I was at. They had a giant database that was continually maintained. The second place had paper lists. Much more of a hassle.
Thank you for stating the simple phrase! I'm amazed at how many people scream and yell and get angry about telemarketers. One simple phrase "Please place me on your Do-not-Solicit list." would cure most of it.
I worked as a telemarketer for a year. I heard people yell at me every day and it didn't change anything. Those people would get calls over and over and over. It was the ones who were calm and said the magic phrase didn't call again.
A little polite respect gets you much farther than spewing vitriol across the telephone line.
I've never had a phone that vibrated so loudly it could be heard when it was placed in a pocket. If it were sitting out in the open, on a hard surface... sure.

I got freaked out by the "All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy." screensaver.
I looked up at my desktop after working on my laptop for a few hours and thought the Shining had taken over my machine. AGGH!

Oh, I found the keys. Now I'm looking for a promotion.
Aye. I misinterpreted it. Perhaps I shouldn't be posting while doing wireless surveying in the car. Don't worry, I'm not driving... my boss is.
Who do you think wrote DeCSS?
I think you just described the perfect post. Completely mind-boggling.
Oh man. You would get all of my mod points if I hadn't already posted in this discussion. Dammit!

Tetris... That's what got me.
In mine, I skip all my high school classes because I'm used to the college way of life.
Usually there are other former classmates there with me but they are young while I am old.
Bizarrrrre.
The only lucid dreams I have are where either
a) I am a "water baron" in India. (not sure what that means)
OR
b) I'm back in high school as an adult going for my second diploma as if it were a bachelor's degree.

Haha. Thanks for the giggles. Luckily all the bosses have left so I didn't get any strange looks.
Man or Astroman?

Sweet, sweet free wifi, of course.

Anne-Marie = very yes

You don't have a "vibrate" option on your phone? It's often noticeable even when others are speaking! WOW!
Oh I went there... It's work-safe. Quite scary as well.
DAMMIT!
Where are my mod points when I need them?!?!
