Greco-Roman gods are often mixed, but the Romans loved Greek culture and religion so much, they adopted all their deities! Jupiter == Zeus and Saturn == Cronos
So....since cron is named for Cronos, it actually does make sense that Saturn would hold on to things for a long time, just waiting for the right time to use them....
Actually, PCs are assembled from components that originate from all over the world.
ASUS, for example, which made the motherboards of every 1 in 3 PCs sold worldwide in 2007, is headquartered in Taipei (which is not in China, no matter what the Chinese government would like everyone to think), and has manufacturing facilities in mainland China, Mexico, and the Czech Republic.
Intel has facilities worldwide, including Costa Rico, Mexico, and Taiwan.
Most often, to avoid tariffs, PCs sold in the U.S. are assembled in the United States, Canada or Mexico.
Guilds are more like trade assocations, with each member being more or less self-employed, while unions are organized groups of employees.
Similar, but not the same. Unions aren't likely to work for IT because they are based on the idea that any two workers are interchangeable. This is most certainly not the case in IT.
We should just start forming a medieval-style guild for IT people. Seriously. Screw this crap. We'll make everyone join or put 'em in the stockade! Drawing and quartering also works well, I here. And then we'll have a world-wide monopoly on IT professionals. Anyone who doesn't give into our demands gets their server rooms shutdown. If they still don't give in, we send in the henchmen. Ha!
And a meter is a bit longer than a yard, so estimating, that would 1.10 yards per meter * 11,000 = 12,100 yards or about 435,600 ft. So for the GPs benefit, there are 12 inches in a yard that would be ~ 435,600 inches or so, a little less due to rounding errors. But that's about 40x GPs estimate.:-P
And if anyone thinks Google doesn't (or isn't going to) make money from their Wine patches (Google Earth/Google Picassa), Chromium, Gears, or Android, they are sadly, sadly mistaken.
Not only that, but these are companies you have actually heard of. Sun Microsystems, IBM, and Google are all companies that produce open source software and actually make money from it. Not to mention pure open source companies like Zope and Zend.

No kidding. A petaflop ought to be enough for anybody!

Still, you'd probably be able to wear some pretty neat hats and attract hot goth girls. ;)
Hot goth girls are a dime a dozen (I teach Georgian Wicca, need I say more?). Besides, I'm sure my wife wouldn't like the hot goth girls. ;)
I dunno. You'd probably have to ask Ken Thompson. I hear he's the world's foremost expert on very, very, very old eunuchs.
Nah. It's not like a road, it's TUBES!!!

(Doesn't that just sound ominous?)
Sure. The pool of outstanding stocks is like a gas tank. You make each drop of gasoline more valuable decreasing that gas tanks' size.
(Bet you didn't think I could do it! Ha!)
Errmmmmm.....wrong thread. Never mind.

I run Windows XP under VirtualBox on an Ubuntu Linux machine that is connected 24x7. What does that make me?
Do you mean "How many attacks originating from the U.S. are actually result of Chinese-zombified machines in the U.S.?" or the other way around?
And certainly there are a ton more computers in the U.S. than in China, although that will certainly change within the next decade or so.
And out of how many computers connected to the Internet? I'm willing to bet China's "per machina" rate is higher.
Yeah. I know. The point was to do a quick estimation all in my head, not to have to pull out a calculator. ;)
But, pulling up my handy-dandy Python interpreter (What's a calculator app?), you can do this:
>>> (100/2.54)*11000
433070.86614173232
>>>
So, as you can see, my off-the-cuff estimation was pretty accurate, anyway.
Alternatively, you can always ask Google, but where's the fun in that?

I'm sure Secure Computing has a product for that. :-/
s/inches in a yard/inches in a foot
doh!

Now if someone uploaded Windows 7, *THAT* would be a leak. But for anything else than that, why can't we call it what it is?

Holy sh***! Microsoft ripped off Ubuntu?! Can you say "lawsuit from a billionaire"?!
Dude! You never told me the FY ends in two weeks! Damn. I could've had my wife pick up the kid! Tell me what to do!!!!
Pfffft. If Google wanted, they could buy eBay. After all, their market cap is less than a 1/4 of GOOG.
