Or que an IT department that is ready for the boss to wander down and say we don't need you according to this article. Yes we are needed, and here's why, the department says, rather than oh sh*t sh*t what's he up to this time.
I think the touch screen may be a safety issue when placing a call on the road. I can dial my sync by feel without taking my eyes off the road. Not possible with a touch screen.
Evil, evil cell phone user! The inability to touch-type on the keypad is a feature, keeping idiots from trying to dial on cell phones while driving. Now if only it took more than one touch to answer, to keep people from answering calls while driving...
And what about emergency dialing while you have a gun to your head? May not be a big problem in your area, but it's a feature in great demand in my country.
An RFID card that can be read can fill in all that data for you, but is also intrusive. Can't have the best of both worlds.
I prefer the manual filling in of forms. Makes sure I get it right. Can you see the unwashed hippy behind the counter saying that the CARD says I'm a female lion trainer because some tit miscaptured the data? And refusing to change it because "the computer can't be wrong"
Given the magnitude of errors South Africa already comes up with, changing gender, ethnic group, wrong photo to wrong ID number, wrong details etc, can you imagine the crap when they try to do more? I doubt this country is that unique either.
The faulty O-ring was on one of the SRB's, right side I think, not the external tank. It was a massive ring that sealed the joints between two segments. It shrunk in the cold, let burning gases past and torched a hole into the external tank.
Other than that, your counterpoint is perfectly valid.
Lunix on the desktop and the server is a dead horse. Flogged beyond belief like Hurd.
Linux however is a monster growing every day and while it will never beat Windows on the desktop for pure number of machines, one day it will beat it on user experience and likability. And on the server it is the as-yet uncrowned king.
Need a break from the dull, repetitive life of America? Tired of overweight, sweaty people shouldering past you in the street? Bored with 300 TV channels and air-head celebrities?
Then come to Iraq, nice country. Plenty of adrenaline-pumping action in the streets. You can even bring your own arsenal of guns and ammo that you've collected over the years.
Swap with some nice Iraqi that just wants one day without a bomb going off and enjoy a break from Bush's America.
And if you're trying to run a net sweep across your LAN to find all available machines? It isn't the single machine that I mind typing in. That's where dns comes in. It's the command line for NMAP. These are tools I use regularly, and entrying a 3232:2323 etc every ****ing type would **ss me off.
And what about default gateways, especially on a network you don't own. And netmasks. Its difficult enough to spot a fault in a quad netmask that's in hex or binary (and there are systems out there that insist on those, I have three on my LAN, all old instruments in physics). Try that in the enforced hex of V6. Why can't we have damned decimals in those addresses?
What sort of idiot still designs web session code that requires a unique IP address? It's a known problem and has been for a number of years now. The solution isn't to switch to IPV6, but to fix the code.
Proxy servers, spoofed addresses and so forth are plenty good reasons to not write code like this.
Our bastard of a monopoly ISP offers 384/128, 512/128 and 1024/384 with 4096/384 as a trial for random sods. We have caps running from 1Gb upwards with 50Gb costing R17999. Just to put that in perspective, I am an IT engineer grossing R21400 and taking home R16000 per month. Telkom, the monopoly telecomms company says the prices are fair. At least they cut you off when you hit the cap and don't bill you for the overusage.
In many countries around the world, especially second and third world countries, there are extra government import surcharges, wharfage fees and ad-valorum taxes that push the price up artificially. Then there are the scum companies who charge massive prices because they can. Nikon in South Africa is one. A D200 camera with kit lens will cost me R21000 with shipping and worst case import duties. From Nikon South Africa, I can expect to pay R27599 for the same camera. Whether Apple prevents this from happening with iPods here, I don't know.
So Sandisk gets press for doing this. Memtech and Bitmicro have had solid state flash drives for well over a year, with SCSI, SATA and PATA interfaces as well. And they range up to 64Gb.

You meant to say Crucifixion is a doodle-bug
I can't find Ed Deline's mansion or the Montecito Resort and Casino.
I call corruption.
Only during the hours when South Africa doesn't have it. :)

Except the GP is talking about Muslim on Muslim killing of innocent people in attacks on mosques.
Us infidels are another story. They should be converting us though, not eliminating us.

Need I say more, cousin Osama. You buy the plane ticket, I'll get the passports.
Come on people, be realistic about this. It has to be Mary McDonnell.

That was Adam Savage's quote. Gah!!
Twelve years for Nazi Germany and the Third Reich.
Thirty two for the Afrikaner Republic of South Africa.
The USSR lasted pretty well for a tyrannical society, I would say.

It's Film at 10, you ignorant fool!
for your new sig. Vista has shipped unfortunately.
Hah, I can handle 16 machines on one piece of hardware.
One power glitch, one failed cap or resistor in the power supply. Bang. There goes your entire drive. At least flash can survive without power.

Bitmicro
Memtech
And there are most likely even more out there. These are just the ones I know of.
My CPU temp would spike more than what he's doing to me. Or if I'm playing a game.
