Well, if it's anything like NZ, you declare the weapons and hand them over to Customs for safe-keeping until you depart for international waters again.
I saw this in a docco on NZ Customs, they frequently have super yachts and the like, arriving with large calibre rifles on board for defensive purposes.
As descibed by VMware, "VMware Distributed Power Management is an experimental feature that reduces power consumption in the data center through intelligent workload balancing. Working in conjunction with VMware DRS, Distributed Power Management is designed to automatically power off servers not currently needed in order to meet service levels, and automatically power on servers as demand for compute resources increases."
Note the use of that "Experimental word... I'm in the middle of migrating our server farm to ESX at the moment, and so far I'm impressed with VMotion.
I do IT security for a company with around 800 staff. We have a flat management structure - I write up a proposal, the CIO vets it, then it goes to the deputy CEO for approval. He's an ex accountant, but he's one of the sharpest, most pragmatic people I've ever met. He'll find any holes in my justifications, so I've learned to be very through, but if there's real benefit to the company it gets approved. I fucking love working here - compared to some of the bureaucratic hell-holes I've worked in before, it's heaven
This is a result of having a CIO who knows how to operate at the boardroom level, and an excellent corporate culture that hires talented, pragmatic execs - people with huge egos don't last long round these parts.
"Calling me a "netizen" is like saying that I'm a citizen of my screwdriver"
I have to disagree with this. Does your screwdriver let you collaborate with people all over the world? Information is power, and the web is redistributing that power back to the people. I certainly feel like I "belong" in the backwaters of the web where I hang out.
I find smell trumps visual and auditory inputs - you know how a smell will instantly pop a memory into your head?
So for me, bathing = good.
I used to work with a guy who went running at lunchtime in summer, and would change back into his work clothes without showering. Within an hour or so you couldn't enter his cubicle without gagging. Every time I get a wiff of BO I think of you, Wal. Thanks, you bastard.
"I work for an R&D company that develops interactive voice response systems (ie: phone surveys)"
Now there's someone you wish would get depressed and top himself!
They'll have to include a little automatic weapon if they want it to interpret my dreams.
And an inflatable sheep.
Oh, and a little gimp costume.
Don't ask...
Does anyone remember the fuss around Black & White? That was a huge, open god sim that promised so much...
Is Spore the next B&W?
Don't get me wrong, I'll torrent it along with everyone else when it comes out, but I'm not getting my hopes up.

Who needs to remember things when you have Google?

How the hell to you send a slow pulse of light, so a faster one can catch up to it? I just don't C how.

Yeah, that's what the US needs, more stoned gun-toting nationalists...
Did it hurt when they removed your sense of humor? Or are you just American?
