You can set your own server up locally, and use Jabber throughout the enterprise. It does IM, but also allows conferencing (unlike many IMs), public and private. Also, it can use SSL and other encryption technologies to ensure data safety.. you can also do centralized logging.
We have a saying around here, stolen from the movie 'The Boiler Room'... and that is Don't Pitch the Bitch.
Crude, but women are such a fucking hassle when you're trying to sell stuff at a higher price than they think its worth. Men are a lot easier to cajole, and don't keep throwing up concerns or calling you every day to see why you didn't do what you promised yet. Men are definitely a lot easier to scam.
My Mac is still about the size of a stack of paper, and still has a little more power than the basic IBM PC. You'd think in 20 years we'd have seen some progress!
But a Powerbook or an iBook is less powerful than the best IBM PC (or, more accurately, an x86 based PC) which is what the claim relied on (and he must be talking about against an up to date PC otherwise he wouldn't have thrown in the progress quip).
The only thing which gives top of the range PCs a run for their money are G5s, and even this is considered unsure ground.
Believe it or not, the French are still very much into eating rare beef.
Whereas we have 'rare, medium, well done' etc.. the French most often have their beef 'a point' (too lazy to do the accents) which means 'to a point'.. or, in English terms, 'shown the heat for about 30 seconds'. I'm frankly surprised they're one of the healthiest nations on earth, but they are.
I tend to go for a 'medium' when in France, as I like my steak to be pink in the middle, but browned on the outside, and while we might call this 'rare' in the US, those French hate spending money on the gas.
Seconded. However, families are insanely more protective of their daughters in Italy. It's considered the norm for Italian twenty-somethings to be living at home. And, of course, you've got the whole Mafia thing.
Honestly, that's nothing compared to the US. There are streets in major US cities with hundreds of pot holes six inches deep or more. Even in Los Angeles, home of the freeway, you're constantly being thrown about driving up the Hollywood Freeway and going from one type of road surface to another.
There was a great band on MP3.com called Skasmapolitan, a kinda Sublime/No Doubt sort of thing with a chick singer.
And all their songs were so funny, like 'Slut Named Rachel'. Jesus, I'd bust a nut if I heard that in an elevator. Weird, you never hear ska music as musak. Wonder why.. it'd be so great to bop your head to *g*
I believe you can trademark your name, which might explain it. It was recently reported British entertainer 'Robbie Williams' has registered his name as a trademark so he has a better legal method to file suits against the manufacturers of fake/unofficial merchandise bearing his name. And a trademark almost ensures you win the domain name case..
Uh, that picture isn't a grab of the entire frame. It's a crop. If you see the film, or even just the trailer with that section in it, you'll know she is standing in a house up two steps, and he is standing in the street. He is taller than her.
Even the BBC refer to England as 'a country within the United Kingdom'. This may not be the popular usage, but technically England is a country within the United Kingdom, which is a conglomerate of countries.
This is also why Wales, Northern Ireland, Scotland, and England are all independent national soccer teams in international fixtures, rather than just having a single UK team.
Okay, let's get together all the top kernel coders, and more besides, and rewrite all of the low level code that can't be traced back to a particular author. Anything written by Cox, Torvalds, or anyone high up in the free software world can stay. If we rewrite all of the muddy low level stuff that 'no one can remember who wrote what', then we'll know that not a single comma is stolen from SCO.
Drastic, I know.. and it'll never happen, because people would prefer to sit and let SCO take potshots at them, with no proof. When a problem comes up, you should solve it.
I think Gimp is great. Of course, I prefer Photoshop, but Gimp is definitely catching up in a big way.
The one thing that peeves me about Gimp, however, is the tool selection box. It's like 7 icons wide by 4 deep, which means you end up with a large box, rather than a taller slimmer one like in Photoshop. This causes problems when editing images, as with Photoshop you can shove your thin toolbar over to the side of the screen, but the Gimp one takes up valuable screen real estate. A totally customizable toolbar would be even better, of course, and make it better than PS!
Obfuscated C code is one thing, and they make some great stuff, like that miniature BASIC interpreter which won last year (or was it 2002?). But if you want a REAL challenge, perhaps we should invent a new competition..
The first International Readable Perl Code Contest. Your challenge.. write any application in Perl that's over 100 lines and that at least two other programmers can understand. We don't expect to have any winners for the next few years, but get coding.. and we'll see you soon!
I vote the Coolermaster Aero 7 as my top cooler pick of 2003. It's cheap (under $20), and keeps my XP2000+ 10-15 celcius cooler than the stock heatsink did. I've also read of many people overclocking 2500+ Bartons to 3200+ levels, and the Aero 7 keeps it cool. The best part is you can adjust the cooling at any time, with the dial you can put in any 3.5" bay. I keep mine really low, but if I needed mega cooling, just turn it up (although on max cooling it's loud!)
It uses a really weird fan, and I think that might be the secret of its success.
Instead of the usual 'sucks from above, blows downwards' type thing, it spins on the same plane as the motherboard, meaning it sucks in air from both sides, and blows it all down. So you get far more air throughput. This means you can turn the RPMs down, and I can cool my overclocked XP2000+ with the fan running at 1600RPM! My old AMD stock cooler was almost 3000RPM, and far noisier.
If anyone wants to get one, get the cheaper aluminium one. It actually cools better than the copper one! Why? Because it's a lot bigger than the copper one.. so make sure you have the room;-) Anyway, a bargain. I hope they come out with one for the 64's.
Then just turn down the fans in your PSU, and you have near silent cooling up to a decent speed:-)

I love the way that was modded up 'Insightful.'
Actually, I really like Natalie Portman, but when I saw those (real) topless pics of her.. man, she's just normal, nothing going on there.
Check it out.. pictures 1, 3, 4, and the first and second ones on the second row are real. All of rest are fake or clothed.

For your average non-techie, it's not. Hell, even I had issues with Mandrake 8.0 - and I'm doing PHP coding for a living at the moment.
;-)
I guess that probably explains the difficulty then

Really? It must be a real massive stack of paper to be a G5.
