Responding to myself, to all who asked. This is through two different ISP's. One, through work, is AT&T. The other, at home, is Time Warner Road Runner.
This sounds like an ad, but I seriously lost 20 lbs doing the body for life program. Most of it is common sense, like get your butt in the gym and eat right. But, it helps to have a plan. And this is a good one. Buy the book, read it, and follow it to the letter, and you can't help but lose weight.
It's very strict, but for those who can handle it, it's worth the effort.
Being in shape is a lifelong process, not a quick fix, though...The book can help you get started, but you have to want to change.
Interestingly enough, I saw a true barebones laptop being advertised on e-bay. It's a Clevo 5620 shell with no hard drive, motherboard or processor. Decent price too...Damn tempting.
You can already do that here.

You can do the "VectraNote" Notebook Configurator on here, and get it with no processor, Memory, or hard drive.

What about network resources? Lately our IS guys have been cracking down on bandwith hogs, such as Internet radio, Kazaa, etc., because our networks were getting overloaded. Has anyone measured the network usage of these programs and whether a default install (most people don't know how to tweak) would cause significant network strain?

I was hoping somebody would mention this game! That games rocks. And, you definitely can work up a nice sweat playing it. I know I have a few times. There is a way to "cheat", though. The sensors are pretty sensitive, and you only have to do quick short jabs to punch. You can just move your hands a few inches, and it will work. A lot of people think they have to do full swings.
Does anyone know if there is going to be a price drop for the playstation 2 any time soon? I have heard for a while that we could expect one sometime early 2002, but no real news about it. I'd love to buy one, but I'd hate to buy it right now if the price is about to drop.
This may already be posted somewhere, but Redhat has already responded to Microsoft's proposal by proposing that instead the computers run Redhat Linux and to use the money saved by running RedHat Linux to increase the number of computers from 20,000 to over a million. They said they will support the software and upgrades indefinitely instead of for five years, like Microsoft.
Here's the story. http://biz.yahoo.com/bw/011120/202744_1.html
Maybe my work situation is different because of the small number of people in our department, but I hang out with people from work all the time. One of my best friends works here. She introduced me to almost all my friends in town. I go lift weights with my boss and (sometimes) his girlfriend. Some of the other guys have families and don't hang out after work, but we do have fun hanging out here. We have a pool table and get very competitive and have fun with each other.
I am also working on organizing company wide team sports, and have gotten quite a bit of response.
I am a software developer at a 30 year old banking regulations publishing company, so its definitely not a dot-com.
This should have been obvious to anyone who actually read the story.
"HP has been working with Amazon since October 1999, Balma said, but the big contract win came in May 2000,
when HP announced its systems would replace Unix servers from Sun Microsystems."

I'd love to see how those IT guys would like running their own stuff in the same SOE "lockdown". I would bet that they are the only exceptions to the rule. Always funny how the people who decide to make the rules can't seem to live by them.
This is obviously just a power trip by IT, and it will backfire on them hard when productivity drops to an all time low. Shouldn't productivity be more important than IT having more time to play Half Life?
Our company does that, except they are all in house applications. I could tell you how to do we do it, but then I'd have to kill you.
Oh god, you know too much already.

Please don't speak for everyone when you say that.
I like the taste of beer and do drink only one or two beers sometimes, not for the alcohol but for the taste.

The headaches go away after about a week.
Take tylenol for a few days.
I'm not sure why he does it, but we have to run X on our Solaris server so it can generate images with AWT.
I'm using IE 6 on Win2K and it isn't loading.

This is through two different ISP's.
One, through work, is AT&T.
The other, at home, is Time Warner Road Runner.
I cannot get to 64.94.110.11.
Either it is not responding, or our network is blocking it.
AT&T also does GSM in the US, at least in my area. A few people at work have switched over to AT&T GSM.

Check out Hogwash
Also, a buddy of mine hacked hogwash to support IP tables a while back (no extra hogwash box necessary).

Very good point. The fact that they make a significant amount of money on late fees would most likely discourage them from this too.

Do you think that the owner of this thing might be compensating for something?
You'd have to have an electron microscope to find that teeny weenie.
Also, if you're just lazy, you can just wait.
UPDATE: AOL will be fixing this in the server side within a day or two.
