Okay, I did it. Unfortunatly, I was reading your post at the same moment my boss was entering the cube, and I've been fired. Under the terms of the 'technos' AUP (As amended September 12, 2000), and UCITA, you are hearby notified that you owe me $28,941,285.42.
Referencing clause two of the AUP, this number reflects the sum of my maximum earnings potential until retirement age, as well as the cost of obtaining said employment (six years of college at a major University), as well as an additional 34% transgressive penalty and a 9% compounded cost-of-living increase.
You have ten business days to remit the sum, in whole, or I will be forced to submit a class B lien request against both your holdings and those of your employer in the State of Maryland.
Clause six clearly states you indemnify me against any legal malfeasance or action, so don't even try to get cuetsy with a countersuit. It has a binding compensation clause of $2,000,000.
the fans allowed to tell their stories of the games or is that privilaged to NBC as well?
Yep! The IOC made sure the only ones reporting were their 'approved' pool of 'press'. No fan diaries, no 'I saw [blah] winning the 5,000 Meter Balloon toss'.
'Real' money doesn't have any value either by your definition.. A $5 bill only has value because the US government says so, not because it is backed by gold, or silver, or other negotiable item. The Euro, British pound, Russian ruble, are all worthless when it comes down to it. (the Euro and ruble more so than the others)
You're being pretty nice to them. If someone comes to my door with a pamphlet, I'll either close the door in their face without word one, or I'll tell them that their sect has visited before and been warned that they can and will be prosecuted upon their next unwanted visit. I then offer them a seat on the porch steps whilst waiting for the police. They always leave, and they rarely come back.
Actually, there are the needed provisions to render those.. For owners of 95(c), 98, 98SE, Millenium and W2K, the needed.dlls come with the OS. For MacOS, 95(a), and (b), they were supplied when you installed Internet Explorer 4+.
Also, IE4+ does work correctly with gzipped pages.
I pull that one on all of the new techies around here, and couldn't pass up the chance to attack/. with it.
The first fellow I hit with it clicked for nearly a hour before coming over and asking me to do it for him, he wanted to play Doom. (It was so long ago that the 'game' was Doom and the MS product 'affected' was Office97 SP2!)
Feel free to use it on others; It's so terribly plausible, as Easter Eggs exist in nearly every Microsoft product and 'upgrade versions' are released far too rapidly for anyone to keep up.
Open up Word 2000, and intentionally invoke the paper clip (or other animated friend). Double-left click on him seven times, (click-click, pause, click-click, you get the idea!) If you got it right, the 'assistant' will to a breif animated trip. While the animation is still running, go to Help and right click 'About..'. A single left click on the 'what's this' gets you..
A FPS surprisingly like Quake. You only get the one weapon, a cheesy plasma pistol, and there are only five enemies to kill, but there is a neato spinning obelisk in a secret area that scrolls the programmers names. Shoot it repeatedly to return to Word.

Hmmm.. Sounds like fun!! I've got a Windsor-block 351 out back, and I'm sure I can get a slightly rusty 'Scort with a blown motor for $200.. But I'd have to beef the frame, knock the firewall back, put in a new rear-end..
Nah, I think I'll just go play another round of Need For Speed IISE on my pimped out 5x86-166 (Peltier, 256M of EDO and a SLI pair of 12M VooDoo II)
No faster, I've tried it.. Compiling is processor-bound, even on a quad Xeon 450. Shaved less than a minute off of 'make World, which normally takes just over 48 minutes. I think the Linux ramdisk has processor usage issues, because a ramdisk should in theory be faster than the UW/2 SCSI drive I normally compile on..
Can you stream video over a 100mbs ether comfortably?
Yep.. I do it all the time with my DVDs.. Rip the sucker to disc, eliminate the unneeded.vob files, and play away with the DVD player in 'file' mode..
320G would hold almost 100 DVDs; Perhaps you should get one of these babies for the Geek Compound Anime collection!!

When I realized that the link to the site was broken, I alt-tabbed to a term, did a whois for the net and org TLD variants. Upon the response, I deftly and deliberatly doubleclicked the URL textbox and re-entered the site using.org. Twenty seconds, and no use of the "Back" button.
I keep copies of AS/400 V3R7 'Hardware Troubleshooting and Upgrade' and 'OS/400 Reference' on my desk. Every time I get pissed about the shoddy design of some clone I have in for testing, I'll jerk 'Troubleshooting..' out and read about the right way to do hardware. Or when Windows NT pisses me off, I'll grab 'OS/400' and thank god I don't have to deal with THAT!
The telltale marks of your stack can be changed easily. As is mentioned in the article, it is possible to manipulate Linux into appearing to be OpenBSD with merely ipchains. Also, there are several 'perfect' stacks that do nothing peculiar, or do the same set of oddities in the same fashion to the same packets, and are thus indistinguishable.
trying to make sure they can pull it if they want to in the future It's GPL.. I can redistribute the code, modify it, spit on it, put it on a webpage, etc, AS I SEE FIT AND WITHOUT THEIR LEAVE, FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE.

If the Department of Defense only gets a D+, that leaves Western Union somewhere along the lines of 'strongly advised to drop the class on the first day', right?
My brother does developing, and it is cost effective even in the odd batch. Say you want a couple 8x10's of some B&W negs. You have to send it out, pay $10-14 for the enlargements, and then rinse rather and repeat until they get it 'right'. Not to mention you need to wait days for them to do the job. Meanwhile, chemicals and paper run $6, and there is no wait. Granted, you need to get your hands dirty, but you don't have to wait three days only to find out they screwed it up by clipping the images badly.

These rules may include things like saying that all football games follow FIFA rules
Who else would love to see the Detroit Lions and Green Bay Packers have a go at each other playing the standard FIFA rules?

There may be more cars in New jersey than the whole of Africa. However, there are more Mercedes-Benz dealerships in Africa than in New Jersey.
They may not buy many, but damn! They've got taste!
No one in their right mind should consider a 7014, a 942 or a V2 `400 20th century technology.
The previous poster had it right.
The blurb also says Yggdrasil is releasing the software they used to master the DVD.. How would such a beast differ from mkisofs+cdwrite/cdrecord?

Oh, and my dismount was spectacular.
Visit http://www.ultralinux.org/faq.html for details about what hardware the Sparc 32/64 kernels will and will not run on..
Oh, and it will run on an IPX, and supports the full range of normal IPX hardware.
