I live in Staten Island and it is probably the most technologically-agnostic borough of New York City. We have four kinds of accepted people here - Guidos, Thugs, Wannabe Guidos, and Wannabe Thugs. Everyone else (especially techies) are highly marginalized.
... when it comes to jobs like system administrators, technicians, and management - jobs that need people to be able to respond quickly to changes at the home office.
I don't see this "Indian Revolution" extending much further past programming and maybe system design for this reason.
I would love to live in a foreign country. Why not move to India? The Indians that get paid less than us to do IT work still live around the same way we do because the cost of living is (MUCH) lower, yes? So just take all your shit with you and hang out over there for a while.
Just because something isn't "supported" doesn't mean that no one will run it. Half the users (more?) on an average college campus don't even know, much less care, what OS is running on their machine - they might have some nebulous idea that it's "Windows" but other than that they're clueless.
What do you suggest they do? IP fingerprinting to find out what OS everyone is using? Portscanning the network to find out if the 13x range is open? What if they're running Dave or Samba?
You can't do this to people - especially if you want to have a school that is technologically well-developed and has an attraction for computer science / E.E / other technical majors.
No. The best way to manage these kinds of issues are with the network in a free educational situation, not with users' machines.
There really aren't many *good* P2P clients for Linux.
If you know of any, please feel free to enlighten me, but other than BT and eDonkey there ain't much (which means it's hard to find small files like MP3s out there).
I've found a crapload of stuff around Union Square but haven't gotten up to 20th yet. I did notice that it was virtually a barren wasteland up near Times Square, but have found a ton of ESSIDs in and around the Village.
It looks like companies don't use 802.11 hardly at all, rather, the more residential a neighborhood, the more prolific the access points become.
Unfortunately there's virtually nothing near the Staten Island Ferry (I live in SI) other than that damn Starbucks that closes too early and the Verizon Wireless AP that's WEPped and closed. 802.11 in the Whitehall Ferry Terminal!
Wide hips and a slender waist make me drool. I really don't think I'm alone here.
Yes, if a girl's ass is ENORMOUS, that's unattractive. But soooo many girls get upset about the fact that their backsides are a touch bigger than someone else's, or "feel fat," or something else... it just seems absurd when they're attractive at more or less any size (within limits).
... women have an obsession with the size of their rear-ends which borders on the paranoid delusional. They're all under the impression that wide hips and a generous backside are somehow UNattractive, which fascinates me since these things are caused by the same feminization hormones that brought us such lovely things as breasts and the female leg shape.
I can't understand how they all fell under this "MUST HAVE TINY ASS" spell. Is it just massive amounts of bizarre social conditioning? Do the vast majority of women suffer from some kind of targeted body dysmorphic disorder? What?
I am tremendously connected, same as you: cellphone, PDA, laptop all have one type of Internet connection or another, I spend most of my day at work on IM systems or email, and talk on the phone as part of my job.
Why is it that I seem to be able to also maintain an extremely active social life and take great pleasure in all kinds of offline activity? Is this balance so hard for the average person to reach? Is it one or the other for everyone else? That just seems an absurd proposition. I can't believe that it's that difficult if I seem to be able to do it so easily.
No one actually CARES about whether or not we "get" to "keep" the alleged SCO code in the kernel. If the OSS community hears what it actually IS, I guarantee within the day at least 10 patches will be out that work better than the supposed SCO code ever did. You kill two birds with one stone like that.
The problem I have with the open source solutions for handhelds (especially on my iPaq) is that the handwriting and character rec tends to suck horribly (on the Z this isn't much of a problem thanks to the builtin keyboard). Has anyone else found this to be the case or is it just me?
I thought the OZ project was maintaining the same kernel that had originally come out for the Z (2.4.6) and that was how they could continue to use the proprietary SD slot driver.
At least half the people in this country don't even know that Mars is another planet like ours, much less that you could actually GO there. You expect them to know why we should be sending people there?
Explain any of it to these people and I guarantee their response will be "but we have to take care of our problems here in the Fertile Crescent, I mean Europe, I mean Earth, first!" </sarcasm>
What if I scratch my copy and want a new one? I've already paid for my right to the content - why can't I send in the damaged media, pay a reasonable replacement charge plus shipping (say, $5) and get my new copy? Doesn't the RIAA want us to think about content this way?
No one said it was free. But since I already own a license to the content, I should be able to get a replacement MEDIA at a reasonable cost for the media plus shipping (say, $5), if I send in the original damaged copy. Isn't this the way the RIAA wants us to think it works?

I happen to be one of those too. In fact, I'm a personal trainer.

That's not FOR Linux though. Which reminds me - why isn't there a native WinMX client for Linux?

Power your micro-puters with your body fat and lose weight fast - guaranteed!
country are you referring to?

I think it's really about the fact that they haven't bothered to learn proper English to scam someone.
I mean, come on. If you're going to scam someone, you could at least pay them the respect of doing it intelligibly.
Missing from this:
1) Repeated references to "the grace of God" and how God has led him to the recipient
2) The same paragraph twice in a row
3) The sender's name changing in reference to himself, sometimes two or three times (we could go from Darl to another SCO officer, no?)

It at least runs on the Dell Axim as well.

... if this is the case, then what is all this nonsense they spout about "intellectual property" and so on?
If all I bought was a CD, then how do I have the right to listen to the music on the CD?
... because it makes THEM more money.

It IS possible to get labs to develop film without printing it. You save a shitload on paper this way.
:)
And if they did as you suggest, The camera would be reverse-engineered by someone in a matter of weeks, at best. Not that I would mind.
My sympathies. Maybe harass your TSM until he/she gets you at least a Frontier 330?
