From who's perspective? I put OOo on the computers that I sell. When people ask why, I tell them what it is and what it can do and that they can have MS Office if they wish. Most people are then over the moon, as it were, to find out that they are potentially saving 100's of $$$.
Forgive my ignorance, but why would this be any different than the virus you can write with the general purpose CPUs we have today? You could make the machine unreliable, but that wouldn't make for an effective virus distributing machine.
Part of my job is removing viruses from the computer, some of which has to be done by hand depending on the virus. I would much prefer to have to remove a virus infecting software than I would hardware (it would probably be much cheaper for the customers too)
What always interested me about that silver-blob-thing was that when it changed to go fast, the front seemed to become the back, and the back the front. I'm not sure that pilots would get use to the idea of flying backward (unless they fly helecopters that is)

FruitCompanyA uses insecticide whereas FruitCompanyB doesn't. I personally would choose FruitCompanyA as a a rise in the insect population would ruin FruitCompanyB.
Good example, but I guess it's my turn to be nit-picky. Growing up around apple orchards teaches you a lot about how to grow apples. One lesson learned is that the best way to stop insects is not to use insecticide, but to use other insects, aka natural enemies (ever wonder why NZ-grown apples are so popular around the world?).
Again a good example, as a good investor would have an understanding of where they are putting there money, otherwise they would be better of going to somewhere like Las Vagas and putting it all on a black-jack table.

In my job, with the number of viruses I have to remove from Windows machines, I can't decide if that last piece of information would be informative or just repeating what I just found out...
is accomplished by minimizing the disk head movement
I was always under the impression that modern hard drive designs hide the physical disk bits and pieces from the PC. So how can software predict where the heads are?
Given the current exchange rates between US & NZ, you would think that it would be $90 - $100 NZ, it is actually more like $200 (retail). So as the subject line says, count yourselves lucky over there.
Actually, if you think about it a bit this would make the game easier to play. The one thing I hate about modern 3D FP perspective games is that I cannot easily glance around like I can when driving a car.
Going by the original post, that is already happened. After all, singers are musicians too and the last time I looked, they outnumbered the instrumentalists in just about all musicals (I am yet to hear of a musical with less than 50 singers).
What I do want to know is what happens to the percussionists if the musicians get replaced, after all percussionists are only people that hang around with musicians:) (old Brass Band joke)
As a musician myself I have to agree with tjstork here. I wouldn't neccessarily say that we have to be taken more seriously (It's not my job afterall) but I do think that any pro musician should be treated with respect.
Why? Because they can create music. DJ's and the like usually just mix other peoples work together, which itself is a very difficult technical ability to master whereas to create music that is good enough to take someones breath away is next to impossible.

And yes, I have seen one in the flesh.
If there is anyone in NZ wanting to see one, there was one in the auto-museam north of Wellington (well there was one last time I looked anyway)
oh, well that explains it then {ducks many flying object coming this way}
Well at least he has all the time in the world...

As funny as this may be, it does make you wonder if they knew what would happen?
Because that server is going to need one very soon, with the way its behaving at the moment!

I have a RF transmitter hooked up to my nuts. I've not had one server outage since the first one two years ago.
:D
Needless to say, you probably haven't had any kids since then either

Geez, with the time it took for the artical to open up you'd think that Flexbeta was using this thing.
I don't know about being dropped from distributions, but their FAQ has been dropped from the web :)
thus obtaining 'unobtainium'
OK for someone who can hardly remember a thing about High Scool Chemistry, Unobtainium, what's that? A new term for good karma?
he and the guy who made abyss and terminator (can't think of name now)

And this time Keano Reeves isn't here to help us... oh wait, that's a good thing isn't it?
Who let Jar Jar at the keyboard!?!?
you forgot SuSE, looks like Redhat better watch out. Redhat vs SuSE

Like a woman scorned eh? I always thought there was something odd about that Bill character...
That's so verFUCK YOUy true. Thank you, ASSHOLE, for your informative attempt to fiEAT A BOWL OF DICKght prejudice in our community.
That little line makes me wonder what the equivelent of Torette's was 200 years ago when the language and slang was different...
