A-10 A-10 flying high drop that napalm from the sky. See those kids by the river, drop some napalm watch them quiver. Napalm it sticks to kids! Sticks to kids in the orphanage! See those kids by the lake, drop some napalm watch them bake. Napalm it sticks to kids! Sticks to kids in the orphanage! See those kids in the hut, shove some napalm up their butt! Napalm it sticks to kids! Sticks to kids in the orphanage!
Hopefully the consulting companies will be able to sell the scare and raise the billing rates!
Jobs!!!! Jobs!!!!
How about we have our 'puters set for GMT?
Seriously-Many applications have DST deep in the code. I can see the folks that develop things like the Netbackup scheduler (and others) to be freaking. Didn't they just fix bpsched? (again?)
"However, the material was programmed by Rockstar to be inaccessible to the player and they have stated that it was never intended to be made accessible."
Right. Sure.
What would the reason be to put it in there then? Perhaps the publicity that they are getting now? My 8 y/o son would not have known about GTA except that it has been in the news lately. (Yep, an 8 y/o that watches the news)
"Rockstar, the publishers of the game have given retailers the option of restickering the game with an 18+ rating or exchanging it for a new version with the controversial content removed."
Well, I suspect that most will put a sticker on the game and continue to sell as usual. I also suspect that if a 15 y/o wants to buy one, they still will be able to do so.
I know of many (perhaps most) large corperations have incorporated strong policies regarding what an employee can plug into a network. Does this help the problem with unwanted 'network use' or do the policies get ignored?
pedantic - Characterized by a narrow, often ostentatious concern for book learning and formal rules: a pedantic attention to details. (from dictionary.com)
If you are using that word you are working with the same folks that use paradigm. (they are even similar in meaning.
Sorry.. If either one of the words came up in an interview, I would think twice about employing you.
In reality, the market is tough these days and you do need to be focused.
BTW - if you are a truely seasoned 'administrator', it really does not matter too much about the OS. Seasoned means that you have been there and done that. No worries right?
"If you love to argue and curse when you read something that's so way off base in interpretation or appears to lack any research in even the basic meanings that most Americans found in a SF film, then this is your book"

A bit too little and way too late?
Does anybody take SCO seriously these days? If so, who?
"Tachikawa's plan follows a January 2004 decision by U.S. President George W. Bush that the U.S., with the assistance of partners including Japan, should build a lunar base by about 2020 and use it as a staging point for the human exploration of Mars."
Does this mean that the US and Japan will be working together on this?
This quote actually fits!!!
"All your base are belong to U.S.!"
"Tachikawa was voted one of the 25 most influential global leaders by Time..."
So was Oprah. (same year) For some reason this does not give me the warm fuzzies. Did Tachikawa have a talk show or something?
About 3 years ago I ended up finding a site that had a similar problem. It was on a University site and was devoted to students asking their instructor a question. The questions were something like this:
HI MY NAME IS COLLAGE FRESHMAN. MY SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER IS XXX-XX-XXXX. i WASNT IN CLASS TODAY AND WANTED TO KNOW IF THERE WAS ANY HOMEWORK DUE.
Each entry (about 50) had students names and social security numbers.
I contacted the instructor via email and let him know about the problem. The email was acknowledged but 3 months later, the SSNs were still up.
I then contacted one of the students. The page was 'secured' in 1 day.
I do not see the need for Colleges to have our SSNs or track the students via that number. I don't think they care enough to be responsible.
"biometric data, like a fingerprint or iris scan, which would be added to the DVD's RFID tag."
Can I just use the finger that I found at Wendy's?
Seriously though, what if you wanted to buy a gift for somebody? This isn't going to work all that well.
How about on-line purchases? Would they take a 'sample' and keep it on file to encode something at a later time. Who is going to trust the security of that?
If you want to see the Space Station, it is making nice evening shows in the US right now. Just go to Heavens Above through your city in and watch it pass over.
It is as bright as the brightest star out there (Jupiter, yea not a star but you get it)

I hadn't even heard of myspace.com until the stories about rent for sex, police stings that came out over the past several months.
You hear about the bad stuff (and teenage girls) and poof, it gets hits.
So can I still fill up used bottled water bottles with my tap water if it is labled '1 liter'?

A-10 A-10 flying high
drop that napalm from the sky.
See those kids by the river,
drop some napalm watch them quiver.
Napalm it sticks to kids!
Sticks to kids in the orphanage!
See those kids by the lake,
drop some napalm watch them bake.
Napalm it sticks to kids!
Sticks to kids in the orphanage!
See those kids in the hut,
shove some napalm up their butt!
Napalm it sticks to kids!
Sticks to kids in the orphanage!
It's Y2K all over again. :)

Oh... I thought it was bullets or bombs.
What are the qualifications?

It sounds like an excuse to me.
So is the guy really nutty or is this just an attempt to justify his illegal activities?
Then again, perhaps he was on to something?

In other news, the porn industry is getting larger as the Internet grows as well.
Web attacks are on the rise too.

Is this news?
The question should be "Has software piracy increased disproportionately to Internet User growth?
I don't know.
Well, it could be worse.
It could be an iris scan!!!

I don't see it happening.
