I've always found it pretty accurate to knock off a dollar an hour for tax. Comes out quite close in my experience and gives you a better base for actual cash planning.
As far as evolution goes, I have one really burning question. Given that it is theoretically possible that The Big Bang really happened and that everything in the universe has undergone successive iterations to end up where we are now, where did all the "stuff" come from so that The Big Bang could happen? Was it always just there, or did it come from somewhere (or something)else? Where is the ultimate origin?
As much as I hate to answer a question with a question... where did God come from? Always was, correct? Couldn't matter have just always been here? I see no reason as to why it couldn't have been.
They want their customers to find their own bugs? Like "hey, we know it's bug ridden and we're admitting it by giving you this, so you find the damn bugs if you're so worried about them". I hope car manufacturers don't follow suit and start making customers fix their own car that's still covered under warranty. "We're not worried about the loud banging sound under the hood. If you are, here's a wrench, have at it".
Open-Destination Teleportation...wasn't this already tested with success? Yea, I seem to remember a story about this. Something about all hell breaking lose and killing all the Marines/scientists that were working on the project though...
Since I'm betting 99% of your users will be using Windows, why not just use netmeeting? Our techs have been using it for quite some time and never have a problem getting rid of spyware with it, since it's not browser based.
That's great and all, but very few of the machines are similar in hardware setup/speed. I'd like to squeez the most performance out of them I can, so customizing the cflags is the easiest way.
They're all under 300Mhz PII's running mundane stuff (monitoring, DNS, SMTP, print servers, IDS, etc), so they're definately not the quickest of boxes no matter what's on them.
In reply to the other post, we actually have a 5 node distcc "cluster" right now that all boxes use, but we've ran into problems when using it to update certain packages (GCC mainly), if the distcc server has one version and it's trying to help build another. We've also ran into problems when using them to help build initial setups, so we'd rather take an extra day than to have a horked install and need to start over, taking 3 or more days.
We're already using Gentoo on about a dozen or so production machines. Its been great. Setup time takes about two business days (system over night, bootstrap overnight), but who cares? We have the installation procedure we use down to the point where we don't even have to look at the screen, our self-made guides have everything written down. All the machines have a common configuration this way too.
I'm currently working on a web based system to very easily keep all these systems up to date and allow us to choose which packages we want to upgrade, so we don't have to get the newest if we don't want.
I hope they do release commercial support for it, we'd be one of the first on the list to purchase!
Like... who? Al Quaeda? So.... your theory here is that the people who are pissed off BECAUSE OF our federal government would be over here kicking our asses if the federal government hadn't had the resources to piss them off in the first place? Uh huh. That makes sense.
Yea, because Spain has just shown that butting out of matters in the Middle-East will stop terrorist attacks against you.... oh, wait.
Yep, as I understand it, it is possible for the US to manipulate GPS signals over a certain region.
Any military that uses a navigation system owned and operated by their enemy deserves to be tricked in the first place...

Because DKC had such a ground breaking storyline?

They're trying open source, not open platform. Of course anything they release is going to be Windows specific.
Um, yea, as the article states: http://sourceforge.net/projects/wix/ and http://sourceforge.net/projects/wtl/

/.'ed already. Any mirrors?

I got in a small ~10mph fender bender in my '01 Transam WS6, and with only body damage it cost $5500 for repairs. $2000 for the hood alone.
Damn carbon-fiber body parts...

Tell that to my 2001 Trans Am WS6 that'll beat the pants off anything you have...
