notice how I didn't mention office space?
Developers, in this context, means housing. Tollway interests, in this context, means the corporation that is looking to acquire the land to extend the NW parkway. It's a very desirable location for residences...I live very close and my house has appreciated 30% in the last two years alone.
ST owns a metric buttload of prime real estate right on one of the busiest tech corriders in CO. The property is far larger than they need, and *also* sits right smack dab in the middle of proposed extensions to the Northwest Parkway, which would finally connect the northern tip of the greater Metro area (at I25) directly to I70 on the western side.
This property is worth beaucoup dollars *right now*. Expansion opportunities also abound. Sell that Sun campus...re-org the ST campus to accomodate everyone, and sell the rest of the existing ST land to developers or the tollway interests.
It has always seemed to me that when people start referring to themselves as a TLA (three letter acronym) that they tend to lose touch with the people they work with.
I don't know this guy, and I don't know much about what he is doing, but the tone and inflection of his statement seems to be self-aggrandizing...to me at least. I'm not flaming him, I'm just stating an opinion of how I read the text. Honestly, I don't really give a rat's ass about this Debian debate...but I do see why someone could use this particular article as ammunition to attack his credibility.
Calling this oversight a bungle is a bit too harsh...for those who didn't read the article, it also says:
their mission has been considered an unqualified success. Spirit and Opportunity provided the first irrefutable evidence that there was once liquid water on the surface of the Red Planet and are still roaming long after their scheduled 90-day mission.
Once the mistake was realized, they could easily accomodate it through other calibration techniques. I think the parent article is trying to raise a sandstorm in an otherwise rarefied atmosphere.
Call bullshit all you want, but it's true. Under the folder c:\program files\common files\GMT, were about 60 folders, with randomly generated names consisting of (I think) 10 characcters each. Each of those had multiple folders underneath, usually consisting of ga, gb, gc, etc. Each of those folders had an enormous amount of folders underneath consisting of 5 numbers each. Each of those folders had a file in it, consisting of the same name as it's parent folder, with a.gdb extension (I think).
All told, there were 56000 of them, and each registered in MSAS as a file 'infected' with Claria. (they were actually generated by it)
I thought about getting a screenshot, but didn't because I thought it was kind of a stupid thing to brag about.
It gets even worse. Instead of trying to let MSAS deal with them, I first cancelled the scan, and went to manually delete them. Use windows explorer, it look like it would take over an hour. So I killed explorer, dropped to a command prompt, and deleted the entire tree that way. On reboot, the entire tree was back. Claria had done it's own system restore, invisibly. I had to disable system restore and run through the process again.
Stop spreading FUD. MSAS clearly states that the app has legitimate uses. It only alerts the user to it's presence, in case they or their admin hasn't installed it.
I can tell you that I had to clean a machine today that had 56,000 instances of 'Claria' (GAIM aka Gator)
Ad-aware missed them on the first pass...so I used MSAS, and it caught them all. And removed them. Successfully. (whereas Ad-aware would have just quarantined them).
I know I'll get roasted for this obvious 'fanboi' ism, but remember, MSAS is actually still GIANT, who they brought it from. (check your process names while running it...you'll see)
Because it's a theory. It's called the 'Theory of Evolution'. Redundantly emphasizing that fact serves to discredit it, and no matter how you slice it, the sticker was put into the book by those of a religious bent, with an agenda. That agenda is to discredit the Theory of Evolution, in order to minimize questions about the apparent discord between evolution and creationism.
Because the school is a state run institution, they have a mandate not to endorse any particular religious institution. This sticker was deemd to be such an endorsement (rightly so, in my opinion...but that's my opinion). Thus, it's unconstitutional.
Do counties have intelligence? I think you should put a disclaimer sticker on your post, stating that you have a theory that Cobb County is actually one of the more intelligent counties in Georgia, but that it is only a theory.
It would immediately be disproven by your improper use of the word 'there' in place of 'their' prior to the words 'school system'.
Rest easy, this is a joke...and not intended to be taken seriously. We all make silly mistakes now and again.

There is something else to consider.

Profit!
We have? Really?
ALL of us?
Damn...I must have been high that week that every Debian geek was in agreement about something.

Clever.
Didn't want you to think no one got it.
Clever.
Ms. Spelled. Butt Clever.

I'm sure I could dig it up, but you did stump me...who?
It might have been one of the central MA startups, or possibly one of the smaller NH outfits...right?
I have plenty of folks I could ask from Allaire, but I'm curious...
Macromedia bought out a long-forgotten company who created ColdFusion. Anyone care to comment on who that was?

I got an email from someone I don't know (or maybe I read it on the net somewhere)...but I only use the tracker at xxaa.stuff4free.fbi.gov

yes, I meant GAIN. It was a typo.

My bad...a mass confusion of open windows, and too many people giving "omg VNC is not teh spyware!". Sorry...the link does state what you said.
y'know...modding the parent 'redundant' would be funny.

This is great news!

That's what I mean. Since he didn't say which, he *could* mean WEP. And it isn't secure.
By the way, MAC filtering isn't encryption (and is trivial to defeat), strong passwords aren't encryption, and RADIUS isn't encryption.
Yes! Because WEP was Soooooo good...it and it's wacky old 24 bit init vector.
If you're going to be sarcastic, at least be more specific.
Oh, don't be pedantic.
You know as well as everyone else that Pluto has always been represented as the 9th planet to school kids. Anyone now older than maybe 5, that is.

I sure hope they have insurance.
Oh, and just for clarification, how many Libraries of Congress are there in a VW Beetle?
It's easy. There just aren't that many kids who deserve presents. Bah. humbug.
