also, if needs are low, common desktop hardware (even outdated hardware) can meet needs sufficiently without the need for a Server OS
Absolutely. The company I'm at right now does benefits-explanation and healthcare-education sites that firms can present to their employees as if it's their own. We have maybe 2 dozen small clients and two or three big ones (think Fortune 500), but until recently we've used 2 eMacs and 3 old iMacs to do it all. We've upgraded, but we probably didn't need to... the boss just likes shiny things.
Yes. As a web developer, that is my biggest flaw: I have no design experience. I'm trying to correct that now, but it'll take some time. Do yourself a favor, and learn about design while you're playing with HTML/CSS/whatever.
To clarify further (I posted the original Berliner quote): Berliner is a specific (brand? style?) type of jelly doughnut, much like, say, a "Chicago style pizza" is not necessarily from chicago, nor is it the only type of pizza. And you are correct, everyone understood what he meant (and appreciated the effort, to boot!)
A worse mistake was when one of our presidents (not sure which), was speaking in Poland; he said, "I wish to know the Polish people better", but the translator, perhaps for political reasons, translated it as, "I wish to know the Poles carnally".
I agree that our (assuming you mean the US) national sex ed curriculum sucks. Can you provide a source? I wasn't aware of any big events regarding sex ed recently. Except maybe Kinsey.
I don't have voice problems, but do have a disability, and have seen this. This is why: it's a boutique situation: a few vendors, customers that *need* the product, and need it *now* (as in, major lifestyle degredation w/o wheelchair/hearing aids/adapted car, etc). So we get screwed on price and Q&A, because we don't have a choice; we can't tell the vendors where they can put their products.
Given that I have had no exposure to PS, nor am an artist, and that I had very little time to spend on it each day, 2 weeks was expected. The boxes weren't the only thing I did.
It took me 30 seconds to figure out how to change an image's resolution in PS, having never touched it before, and 2 weeks to get to the point where I could make humorous spoof software boxes (and this from a non-artist). I've tried GIMP many times, and it's always been painful.

Why shoot you? It's no worse than Windows XPerience ... oh, wait, yeah, let's shoot you and whoever came up with that stupid XPerience name.
I know how they work ... but I'm not getting paid to post here.
Better prices than NewEgg, although NewEgg has more selection. And free 2 day shipping on most items they have is awesome.

Writing "alot" makes you look "alittle" retarded, don't you think, timothy?
Maybe instead of "until everything is built in", the GP meant "when we settle on a small enough # of standards that they can be built in".
OK, it's a great idea. I still don't think it warrants "super-awesome".
For example we skip the little details called norms, principles, culture, traditions, etc
B.S. Geeks *do* have norms/principles/culture/traditions, just not necessarily the same ones as the non-geek population.

Yes. I don't know what it's called, but someone mentioned it above. Perhaps DaemonTools has such a feature?
No WEP? It'll be like wireless X10 - you'll be able to see whatever your neighbor is taking pictures of. This could be a good thing, heh.
Agreed. The only part (IMHO) that actually improved the article was the chauffeur part.
[Shudder] I just had this image of Charlton Heston ...
3001: The Final Odyssey was *not* recent, moron. And I'm sure the idea was around before then.

Not limited to computers: "I am a jelly doughnut".
It's on ESPN 8: The Ocho? Next thing you know, it'll be featured in OSQ!
So where can I get this flash thing? Oh, I can't? It's beyond any reasonable hobbyist's budget? Shucks, I guess I'll stick with something else then.
When will this meme catch on? Whoosh!

So? It still exists, b/c Sun realizes the benefits it gets from having an open source fork. And let's not forget AbiWord ...

This is possibly the most useful thing I've ever learned from /. !
You misspelled "only". (I kid because I love.)
