If I could travel train from Washington D.C. to New Orleans and Houston, I would probably prefer it with the longer trip than a noisy, crowded plane ride down.
A $200,000 dollar machine, high price pilot, and an expensive per hour charge places enough pressure on the pilot and manager to get the job done as efficiently as possible. Wasting valuable ship time looking at an octopus, as interesting as it may be, will typically be reviewed as wasted time and money by the client unless the client is interested in marine life and willing to pay for it.
Kinda at the end of the thread now, but better than top posting in a reply.
I always use Provantage when I can. They have a pretty extensive stock, good prices, and good shipping. Haven't had a need to call their customer service or return an item so I'm not sure how well they are there, but so far satisfied. Fast at shipping too when you need something overnight.

Living near D.C. and visiting it quite often, I have never had to show my ID to anyone at all. Yes, their are metal detectors and x-ray machines in almost every building, but not once have I been asked for my ID.
Where in D.C. is this Subway?

Just goes to show how far we still have to come educating the public with computers period. Much like how to switch from one operating system to another. Some users out there can't even install Windows!
I'm still waiting for reliable serial support. I was the lead in implementing the OS and software on an embedded system to use in a critical[1] environment and was going to use GNU/Linux as opposed to MS Windows. The required software was a Windows only application and with a little tweaking ran fine and stable under Wine. However, the COM ports would not work. They could receive data but not transmit. A search on Google revealed others with similar problems and potential patches but with a strict deadline and a critical environment I was forced to switch to Windows 2000. I complained to the software vendor for Windows lock-in for such a simple application and vowed to make it work on a spare board I have hanging around. All I need is time and a little incentive. A beta release might just be incentive enough.
[1] I know I know. Don't use alpha software for critical applications....We were still in the design stage and if I could get the basics to work I would have had the time to tweak out the bugs.
Linux:
ifconfig eth0 down hw ether 00:00:00:00:00:01
ifconfig eth0 up
Windows:
In Device Manager, open the properties for your network card, goto the Advanced tab, and on most NICs there is a value "Network Address" that you can assign a new MAC address.
Spread the word and practice what you preach.
I believe the problem is not as much as people don't listen but the fact that people do not spread what they preach. As a business user, have you ever given an MS Office client an OO.org document? I know I haven't. Reason being is because the recipients do not have OO.org installed nor do they want to install it. And to force clients into downloading a >100MB file to read your document is preposterous!
What I believe is needed is a light-weight OO.org viewer that is quick to download and quick to open. Then we can give our clients OO.org documents and exclaim to them when they tell us they can't view it that we use OO.org due to its [insert fabulous reason here] and if they like they can download the free viewer here*. That or include the viewer or link with document. That way they know we use OO.org as we prefer the benefits it offers over those of MS and they are not forced to get something they're not comfortable ("opensource? my mcse guy said it's not free!")
*Said viewer should have link too full version so they have option of downloading OO.org
I don't know. I saw it as a reference to HGTG with the "42" and "answer" comment. But thats just me. You may be onto something with the uncertain bit, but I'm uncertain.
Very clever using a katrina domain name. Good reminder to all of us to be cautious of donation sites. Just because the site says it is for Katrina does not mean it will be honored.
For those wondering what the troll is about, the link redirects to lemonparty.org. And for those who are lucky enough to not know what that is but curious, it is a site that contains a picture of three older guys performing homosexual acts on each other. NSFW and quite disgusting.
Don't forget a radio. From what I hear the Freeplay lifeline radios are great.
They do not require any batteries, picks up AM, FM, and Shortwave, designed to withstand "harsh conditions", and is powered by solar and/or wind-up. That and if you purchase one they automatically donate another to the Freeplay Foundation to help orphaned children in Africa.
Next step up would be to have a ham license so you could talk back. Although...in an emergency I'm not sure how strict the FCC would be if you didn't have one.
Frankly that shows your screening was insufficient. GIGO
Granted. But of the ones that sent in their resume our screening helped us pick out the better. It is just a shame that no one with higher qualifications applied. Then again, it is a help desk job. I personally could never stand tech support.
Yeah, I was really hoping to find someone in the Slashdot community. Well, an active, nontrolling member at least. Not one of the applicants knew what Slashdot was though. Maybe that should have been a job requirement...
Let me know if you're ever in the D.C. area. We have 6 months to decide if we keep him or not.
I don't think it's the average user, the author is bothered by, it's the average technology person.
Now that is something I can attest to. We recently had an opening for a help desk technician and tested the applicants with a simple Office test. Now Office was not a requirement for the job but it helped us determine the depth of knowledge that our potentials had. Of all those that completely failed it (what is a table?) one applicant did quite well on it. He was working on a BS in CS and was taking a break from college. We decided to hire him and only three days later he was asking what the outbox folder in e-mail is used for. He has experience but it is apparently not as deep as we would like it. He does not understand the concept of shared drives or the Active Directory and I'm not going to even try to get him using LDAP or any of our Linux servers. However, he is eager to learn and writes good notes so he'll be good for helping people out while reading a script. If we keep him long enough we might be able to train him for what we need but as it is he still has a long way to go.
I guess what I'm trying to say is that even though they may have an idea on how to do things, they have absolutely no understanding behind any of it. Unfortunately, it is the understanding that makes a good technician, not a script.
Well, for those like me who read this article and thought it sounded familar, the MPAA tried it once before. Haven't heard anything from it since so I'd imagine that this one will go the same way and we'll never hear from it again either.
From the looks of it, they pretty much operate the same way. Scan your computer for media files, display the results, and you choose which ones to delete.
Well, it was only recently that they took away my crimpers and it was at a higher risk airport, Baltimore, that it occured at. I'd imagine that they haven't always been this strict but I don't believe that they would allow me on with a corkscrew here. I suppose it all depends on what airport you're at.

Or maybe the author doesn't care and does it on purpose!?
What would be the affect of that?
That's pretty neat... but it's not really funny.
I disagree. I find it pretty damn funny.
I mean, Microsoft can develop and release Windows Live and Office Live in the matter of 48 hours
Maybe, maybe not.

Why you shouldn't code drunk
Linux allows you to trivially spoof MAC addresses
Linux:
ifconfig eth0 down hw ether 00:00:00:00:00:01
ifconfig eth0 up
Windows:
In Device Manager, open the properties for your network card, goto the Advanced tab, and on most NICs there is a value "Network Address" that you can assign a new MAC address.
...how do you get out?

Do the robotic patients come paired with robotic lawyers so students can get used to the malpractice lawsuits?
From the summary:
The robots are dummies complete with mechanical organs, synthetic blood and mechanical breathing systems.
I thought that they were lawyers...
