It makes me feel all warm and tingly inside, that I go to school at NJIT, which is essentially across the street from where these mice were released. It's also great that their escape seems to coincide exactly with the beginning of the Fall semester.
The one thing that comforts me, is that the mice will either be shot in a gang related incident, or become drug addicts, before they are able to spread their tasty payload... This also gives me a good excuse to not go to class.
We recently looked into getting a support contract from Sun at my place of work, and they quoted us $750,000 for 1 year of bronze support, for a modestly sized lab (probably around 100 machines, half of which are V100's/Netra T105's).
That is for a small lab... I don't want to imagine what bigger labs are paying for their support contracts. I know this doesn't directly address your concern, but I hope it does give you an idea on how much money they are bringing in.
Is this quote supposed to make me feel bad? That the head of the MPAA is fighting for the rights of his son who is a producer? I don't. In fact, it turns me off more than anything.
I totally agree with that... I find it very difficult to feel sorry for millionaires not getting richer. I know we're in a capitalist country, where you can make all the money you want if you're good at it, and that movie piracy is stealing, but for gods sake... don't try to use SYMPATHY to convince us not to steal your movies -- you have far more money than I will ever have, and I will NOT feel sorry for you, EVER.
I feel sorry for kids in Somalia who cannot eat, not for movie producers who cannot buy an M5 for their teenage son, as a birthday present.
Agreed. Windows XP Remote Desktop is definitely the best.
I usually use that, however one problem is that the remote desktop client doesn't let you connect to localhost, on an XP machine. I SSH into home, via PuTTY and setup a tunnel for port 3389, but can't use it for this reason. If you want to administer a remote machine, via an SSH tunnel, you have no choice but to use VNC (or setup some port forwarding, for a specific ip block, as I do for work)
I second that, though at the moment I have to run UltraVNC on my Windows machine, since TightVNC seems to crash every time I connect...
Still haven't had the time to figure out why.
Regardless, TightVNC is definitely my favorite VNC. It's small, efficient, clean and the new video hook driver is amazing -- it rivals Windows XP remote desktop.
Couldn't this be used as a great tool for teaching? You should show people exactly what is happening inside a processor. It's always so difficult to get people to picture something they cannot see, and this would make a great visual example
This may be a somewhat appropriate forum to make sure that people know about these two bills that might get passed:

Pretty much, if you are persuiing higher education, that no longer matters, and you can still get drafted. Also, if I read it correctly, it states that everyone HAS to mandatorily serve under military service.
I cannot stand the nazi Bush regime, and their total disregard for our status as human beings.
"With Windows XP 64-bit Edition, the new memory limit is 16 terabytes, or 16,000MB (264 = 18,446,744,073,709,551,161) and all of that RAM will be available to the OS and applications."
I assume that is a typo, otherwise I've had a terabyte of RAM, and 80 terabytes of disk storage, for the past year...
Slightly off topic, however you mention those monthly bandwidth limits...
Does anybody know of any tools out there that will monitor bandwidth usage, and send you a monthly/weekly/daily report or something? I'm sure this could easily be done with a shell script, but alas I haven't that skill, or time.
I'm just curious about how much bandwidth I use every month... something mrtg graphs don't tell you.
Not to mention that smaller schools don't get a fair mention in any of these round ups. If the school doesn't have tens of thousands of students, they rarely show up...
Of course I can't verify this, due to the fact that US News practically makes you pay to see how much it costs to pay to see anything more than their logo.
"On a 32bit system, there can only be 2^32 addressable bytes (4GB). Intel had kind of cheated and added a couple of extra bits that the operating system can use, allowing a full 64GB, although any one process only has access to 4GB at a time."

I remember seeing a program on the discovery channel or TLC about making fake diamonds, and they mentioned that executives from Debeers will never set foot on US soil, because if they did, they would be instantly arrested, for all the antitrust laws they have violated.

When I was working in the IT field, I found a number of people running unofficial Linux desktop distros... and whenever things got broken, as the unofficial Linux Sysadmin, I got forced to play help desk... So I didn't like it much
I do agree with you, that technically it is stealing the music, but like someone else said in this thread, stealing from who?
I take the view of the EFF on this... I would be more than willing to pay a given amount of money ($1, like Apple's music service, maybe?) that went directly to the artist if I were able to just download one song, instead of buying a whole album, of which probably $1 goes to the artist.
I'm not a member or supporter of either major political party, but now I guess I should vote democrat, during this upcoming presidential election. That way maybe partisan politics will work to a benefit, and a democrat president will shoot down whatever laws the RIAA lobbyists try to create.
(Now that I mentioned politics, I'm readying for flame)
I noticed that same thing, but wasn't sure. Now I'm worried, because my younger sister may have installed Kazaa Lite on her computer, and probably used the defaults. I guess I should call my lawyer...
Yup... next time it snows, go for a drive while the roads are still slushy, and give your car some gas (if you don't have any traction control system turned on), and watch as your revs + speedometer goes up, and your car doesn't move.

I wouldn't worry on an investor level...

I'm curious... why did they demand you drink 4 liters of water a day, while you were on the fire crew?
According to that URL, it looks like we could... seems to be reaching all the way down to north carolina.
I'm also in Jersey... freaking sucks that possibly the one night we could ever see it this far down, its raining.
Did anybody else notice this in the article?
