It's too bad this isn't real. It could be done relatively easily, and people would buy it. I don't imagine that Apple would want MAME on their App Store, though. You'd have to do it for jailbroken iPads.
Maybe next, some teenager can sue movie theaters for charging 13 year olds "Adult" prices when they're not legally adults until they're 18. That always bugged the heck out of me.
We do actually do that. There is a listserv for IT staff throughout the state in this branch of government. I constantly talk about what we're doing with Open Source on that mailing list, especially when another netadmin writes that he's thinking of purchasing a commercial product where there are open source alternatives.
https://www.dropbox.com/ will give you 2gb of free space. It'll keep all files in your "dropbox folder" synchronized on all computers where it is installed. It works on Linux, Mac, and Windows. A video on installing Dropbox on Linux from The Linux Journal's Shawn Powers is here: http://www.linuxjournal.com/video/dropbox-linux
I've got Ubuntu running just fine on my Eee 901 using NDISWrapper. Go to http://packages.ubuntu.com/intrepid/ and download the following onto a flash drive (you'll get them with the.deb extension upon clicking the link for your architecture--i386):
From the Misc category: ndiswrapper-common and ndiswrapper-utils-1.9
From the Network category: ndisgtk
Put your flash drive into your Ubuntu Eee. Double click the.deb files in the order that I mentioned them above. Now you'll have a "Windows Wireless Drivers" item in your System/Administration menu. Open it and feed it the.inf and.sys files from your windows wifi drivers.
Other than the fact that it's running a wimpy ARM processor, my biggest beef with the Buffalos is this: I bought three Terastation II Rackmount units (2gb each). Soon after moving my files to them, they started to crash. Upon calling Buffalo tech support, they informed me (but refused to provide documentation), that these NAS units perform well with a fair number of large or medium files; however I was hosting hundreds of thousands of small files, which causes problems. Supposedly, I'm only one of a "handful of customers" that has this problem.
Spoiler alert...
So they got to Earth and it was nuked and uninhabitable. I thought that was only the first half of season 4. They said that "everything will be revealed." Where the hell are those last 10 episodes?
But no studies have been done--or could have been done to show what movies prevail under a black President. I betcha Blade is about to make a comeback.
On February 2, 1907, field artillery was separated from the Artillery Corps. On that date, the War Department redesignated the "Chief of Artillery" to "Chief of Coast Artillery" (effective July 1, 1908). See section 177.2 here:
Chief of Artillery established as the ranking line officer of the Artillery Corps, consisting of both field and coast artillery, by General Order 9, War Department, February 6, 1901, pursuant to the Army Reorganization Act (31 Stat. 748), February 2, 1901. Redesignated Chief of Coast Artillery, effective July 1, 1908, by General Order 24, War Department, February 2, 1907, pursuant to an act of January 25, 1907 (34 Stat. 861), providing for the separation of the field artillery from the Artillery Corps. Abolished, with functions transferred to Commanding General, Army Ground Forces, effective March 9, 1942, by Circular 59, War Department, March 2, 1942, implementing the reorganization of the army mandated by EO 9082, February 28, 1942.
Don't bother burying the thing. Just put the pictures on a laptop overnight. Then, for the next 25 years, work on inventing the flux capacitor. Travel back in time and get the laptop.
Has anyone else noticed that after Vista came out, Microsoft seems to have been losing ground? Netbooks/UMPC's are selling with OEM Linux like hot cakes, and Apple is steadily gaining market share. I also bet that the disappointment with SP1 made it even worse for ol' Billy. Even if Windows 7 is all that and a bag of chips, it'll be too late because Joe the Layman will have seen that Linux really is ready for prime time.
I don't know for sure whether Google is paying lip service to privacy, but I do want to point this out: Google may have already bought double-click, but they've yet to solidify practices and procedures around this new asset. Has Microsoft ever worked with the Attorney General to work out anti-competitive issues *prior* to releasing a version of Windows? Did they approach the ISO or anybody else about what would be good to go into an open document standard prior to developing OOXML?
Patrick Volkerding only gives me KDE in my distro... and Dropline is such a pain to install.
Seriously though, to everyone who says that Gnome is for lazy people because you're supposed to modify KDE's defaults: uh, like I have time for that. I need to be doing other stuff besides tweaking my UI. I'm responsible for over 20 servers, my boss wants four 9's, and we're starting our virtualization project next week. So yeah, I guess I AM too lazy to tweak my UI.
I got into IT to work on computers and technology... to "get my hands dirty" so to speak. I've turned down several offers of management positions. Why? Management is not IT. I hate meetings and counting beans in Excel and schmoozing with other managers. I want to work in IT, not management.
On the other hand, if you're really set on becoming a manager without pursuing a business degree, try the reserves. That's why I'm offered position after position: having led 35 Marines in peacetime and combat situations as their platoon sergeant tends to say something about one's leadership skills.
Due to the same facilities issues in #1, we keep the "data center" at 71 degrees F, and cannot keep it any cooler.
Due to the same facilities issues in #1, we have lots of cooling outages, and therefore much experience that qualifies me to accurately answer the question.
If cooling goes out in our "data center," the servers overheat in 15-20 minutes (when the closet reaches about 115-120 degrees F). To increase this time to about 45 minutes, we have installed a portable cooler that kicks in when the main HVAC system fails.
One day, everybody will have a digital ID. You know, the kind used to digitally sign e-mail. If you had to digitally sign your request to create an account with a certificate issued from a trusted CA, then using a bot creates the potential of the user having his digital certificate revoked.
End Users do post about OS flaws. They get answers like this one. As long as hardware snobs out there keep telling the rest of us to "get a better computer" whenever the Open Source community hasn't come up with drivers for economy hardware, then flaws are not the fault of the end user.
Barring the debate over whether UAC is well implemented, what's somewhat new is that it's the default behavior. Ubuntu has been doing this since the beginning of that distro, but I don't know of other Linux distros that--by default--don't let you log in as root, granting sudo priviliges to the first user created. I can't say whether Apple does this. I know for sure that Slackware, Fedora, and RHEL don't. FreeBSD didn't last time I checked, but that was a *long* time ago. I think the debate ought to be less about whether UAC is well implemented or innovative, and more about whether other OS's ought to have the default behavior that Ubuntu, and now Microsoft have... whether by sudo, UAC, or whatever the mechanism is. To me, that's the point of the whole thing.

Only one in ten Americans have children?
Although it isn't what this guy is looking for, we do have SIPRNet.
He can probably be helped... unless he's already installed the 10.5.2 update. Those of us that made that mistake are totally screwed.

I used to have the exact same problem. Ever since I applied this fix to X11 for the Gimp.app problems, I haven't had any more crashes.
- Due to facilities issues (we are a State agency in a County controlled facility), our "data center" is a 6'x11' closet, so 66' sq.
- The sum of our equipment wattage in the "data center" is min=6510W max=16833W. We estimate the average running wattage to be around 11000W.
- Assuming 1W/h=3.414 BTU/h, our "data center" generates 22225 BTU/h, 37554 BTU/h, 57468 BTU/h, min, avg, max respectively.
