Yes ! And on top of all you've said/noticed, you should talk to some of the people that call me. Believe me, talking to them will convince you that brain tumors and/or eye damage are really not worries - at least for me. I never call anybody - I just suffer those idiots ( I think they're really called "users"). Be happy.
A fair and public trial first. Then hang the twerp immediately afterwards - still in public; so that we can see that justice has been done. Garroting could be an alternative for major offenders, since this can be performed at different speeds - not only would the punishment fit the crime, but it could be modified to fit the quantity of crime committed.
And I, for one, welcome our pin counting overlords. Is a 1207 pin socket going to hurt my sex life ? Somehow I don't think so. Might hurt my pocket-book though - if I bought one. It might hurt my ego even more - if I bought one and obtained a negative performance change. It would make me cry big salt tears if I bought one and somebody said something about division by four. Yep, how many pins on each side of this miracle ? How many sides ? Is 1207 a prime number, or are we being primed for the "world stupidy prize" ? Just a question.... sorry about it. Did I just invent the hyp.... othetica
question ? Or is this only hype ? Seems so to me
- if fact it seems worse than the World Wrestling Federation.

I've noticed your thought. Not sure that I agree - but I'm thinking on it. It's true that I don't "sell" the OS, but only my time. However, I feel that I have to "sell" the idea. Simply expressed - for we aren't going to get to specific cases here - my idea is that there are in fact 2 migrations. The user needs to migrate, for the tools that equated to productivity before are no longer going to b exactly the same - and some users have practised for years with M$ tools, which ain't bad in itself. The existing application(s) need to migrate - and this is something that can only be considered case by case. Provide a focal point ! When it's finished, costs will decrease ! A selected set of users will then begin trying the OSS tools - Write instead of Word, for example. The boss can have an idea about the costs of the hardware required, etc. The migration of the applications can begin. And the beat goes on..... On "my" systems Microsoft does not dual boot into Linux. At boot time the user is offered a menu and he can either do nothing and have the machine go to Linux or take action (the down arrow key followed by the enter key) to have the machine go to Microsoft. In Linux he can close his session and go directly to Microsoft. He can close Microsoft and do nothing else to go to Linux - same menu as at boot time (lilo). As for the dogfood - yep ! it has to eaten - I try to leave the users with enough appetite for their lunch. If it means I eat a lot of it, well I'm the consultant.
Can't say that I agree. I advocate dual booting and a slow transistion from Windows to Linux - there is the problem of Windows applications which the user has the habit of using in order to be productive. I try to have Linux from the start on new sites though.
Well if you say so, sonny, that must be correct. But.... but, well, how do you know ? I'm for the idea that everybody should be able to do his own thing, I'm just curious, that's all. Why don't you tell us where all this knowlege comes from. Personally, I can think of only one way that you could possible know - but I'm probably wrong, eh ?
I believe that you are absolutely correct. Many French Goverment sites are in exactly the same condition. Lame is not the word - it implies the existence of one good leg. Don't know what word to use -"crippled" comes to mind, but there is an implied insult to persons who're handicapped through no fault of their own. Can anyone come up with an adequate word ?
Hum. Well, taking it as a given that there is considerable vibration (I'm ready to consider it, for one) during a shuttle launch, and that the thing rotates on its vertical axis, I'm ready to suggest the following experiment. Take 2 bottle of coke, let them stand at room temperature for a couple of days - just so everything is stable. Put them in the 'fridge if you want - though this makes the experiment less realistic. Now open the first bottle - you should find that it behaves quite normally. Now take the second bottle and subject it to moderate but gradually lessening vibration for 10 minutes - in other words shake it violently, no need to worry about the degree of violence since this will lessen as you get tired. During this period you must remember to turn the bottle on its vertical axis - we're looking for realism here. You might want to tie a string to the bottle and swing it around your head at different angles (this would mean that you'd have to stop shaking it though). This would simulate pressure changes, G force etc. After (immediately) open the second bottle - You may find that the contents behave differently from the contents of the first bottle. For added realism - since all this is supposedly happening in somebody's stomach - you might want to decant the second bottle into a plastic bag before beginning the shaking and swinging routine. If you want to go this route though, you might want to take the prelimary step of getting in the shower.
At the conclusion of this experiment I believe that you will be ready to accept the idea that there are some circumstances where Tang may be preferable to Coke. Indeed, your thoughts may even turn towards the idea of plain water drunk at ambient temperature.
Just explaing my reasoning..... hope that you don't mind. Cheers
And I agree with you. But there is such a thing as the right price (the fair price) for what is bought. As an ex-soldier and a tax-payer my thought is that perhaps $100 for a 4" bandage is a tad expensive. Profiteering here ?
You had your pants on ? ( Lack of stupidity is a characteric I've noticed in many women but few men. Could this explain why you never hear about women deliberately wandering about in heavy rain - dressed, half-dressed, or naked ? ) On a really hot day, you can take a cold shower and you'll find the towel right there, where it should be.
I'll believe you. If they drank coke just before a space flight, I don't know what might happen to the accumulated gas in their stomachs. Don't like to think about it either.
Don't thinking you're putting the right question. We might want to remember that the Internet was invented by a British gentleman who was working for the CERN (a Swiss-based international research organisation) at the time. No, I think the following question is the one we need to ask, and even to shout. Do we want the UN running the Internet ? Let us remember how they do with the PRACTICAL questions they're supposed to process - refugees, peace-keeping, etc. I'm thinking particularly of the tidal wave disaster in the Far East last Christmas and the situation in the Sudan. The tidal wave arrived at Christmas time and the UN had a team of "experts" who arrived afer their New Year break. The situation in the Sudan defies description - even after years of preparation and even confining their efforts to aid for the refugees who make it to the borders of that country, the UN contribution might be politely described as woefully lacking in effectivness. Job applicants should be judged on their qualifications and on their past acheivements - if the job on offer is going to get done right. So my answer is No ! The UN should not run the Internet ! They don't have the qualifications, and their record on PRACTICAL questions is horible. (I'm tempted to add that I'll bet they'd be quick to organise a money angle though, and that the money would come from us, to pass both over and under the table towards..... But one must not yield to temptation; so I'll add nothing, NOTHING, you hear? ) But I do like their suits.
I'm sure they'll tell us how to change the image - on about the same day they mention the price. Lets wait. Not all surprises are bad (did I hear someone say, "but that's the way to bet ?")
"neck to neck on security" and "a rope.... hanging around it's neck". My question is simple. Whose neck is involved here ? I hope that it isn't mine. But I've an awful feeling...

Congratulations on the link - liked it - been wondering why the were calling it "Vista". Thanks to you, light has dawned. That's V.I.S.T.A. heh.
This seems a good approach to me. Just had to say it - my Scottish soul speaking, I think.

It is rather like the common cold. Lots of it about - and you don't even have to make an effort to catch it.
