Hi. I'm very very interested in learning more about the designations, and what sort of things I can do to improve my data centers (and I use that term in the loosest possible meaning). Any resources you can point me to?
I know you're not going to believe this, but way back in the 80s and 90s, there used to be these little rubber mats that you could, get this, pay for, to put your mouse on. Is that crazy or what? "Mouse Pads" they called them, and you used to be able to get them with pretty much anything you wanted on them, it was a hoot I tell ya. The crazy stuff we did when we were kids.
Seconded. I use cbl.abuseat.org, and it dropped my spam-in-inbox a huge amount. It's hard to quantify exactly, since people have their own spam filters as well, but everyone in my organization has remarked on its success.
I'm obviously in the wrong line of work/Network Administrator @ 50k/year w/ 10 years linux experience, no college degree managing ~100 servers in Ohio, NY, and NJ.
Ack! I was right on board until you said that the Harry Potter movies are good.
They're not good, regardless of how you look at them.
Either they're to be looked at in the sense that they reflect the book, in which case they barely resemble the books, or they're to be looked at as separate entities from the books, in which case they are completely screwed up and make no sense.
Chris Columbus tried hard for the movie to reflect the book, and ended up with a very top heavy movie.
Whoever directed Goblet tried the other way, and ended up with a very unsatisfying movie which was hard to follow.
Alphonso Curon did, imho, the best job, balancing book and independent views. In the end, he might have wound up with more style than substance, but it was an entertaining movie, if still a bit nonsensical.
I am still of the opinion that if he could reign in his sense of humor a little, Tim Burton would just completely rule as the director of the 7th movie. There's a bit of written humor in 7 anyway, which is needed, since it's a pretty heavy book.
But isn't it weird that he was the 7th horcrux, and not the 8th, since in book 6 it was clear that Riddle made 7 because he know of the magic properties of that number?
It's not that Avada Kedavra couldn't be stopped, it's that anyone hit with it died. Obviously you can deflect spells with other spells, and so on. It's the getting hit with the spell that counts.
The effect of the two wands meeting was (as you know) a side effect of the wands sharing a core source. The reason that they shared a core source is explained in the entire underlying story arc of the (at that time) 4 books.

oops, my bad. :) Good catch.
Sorry
Only wimps use tape backup: _real_ men just upload their important stuff on ftp, and let the rest of the world mirror it ;)

Backgammon has some degree of randomness, too, since dice are involved.
If you want a computationally heavy game, look no farther than Go
You could always pick up Go. Computers are going to suck at that for a lot longer than they sucked at chess
First thing I thought of too.
+1 Awesome
sounds suspiciously like the box I keep locked in case of Zombie outbreak ;-)
I think they're useful for trend spotting, and I use a live sensor with a nagios alert to alert me if my temperatures exceed tolerances I've set

Thanks!

Seconded. And a Delorean should be the prototype, complete with a Mr Fusion on the back
I wonder what the last 8 years have been?
It's really not like we've never seen spore demos.
Now if they were handing out gamediscs, that would be very different

You're probably on the right track.
One of JKR's overlying themes is that Riddle was playing with magic he didn't understand, and couldn't discern the fine details of it.
ah! right! Thanks, that makes perfect sense, and I do seem to recall that now.
But isn't it weird that he was the 7th horcrux, and not the 8th, since in book 6 it was clear that Riddle made 7 because he know of the magic properties of that number?
In book 2, maybe it's a deux ex machina, after that, it's more like a recurring convenient feature.
kinda like turbo boost in Knight Rider

Was Dumbledore the headmaster then, or was Dippit?
Because the time travel in the HP world seems to align to the no-temporal-anomalies rule, that wouldn't be possible.
