I always feel like that when I'm in Manhattan. up and down are easy and right and left are vectors from there. I might not know how FAR up or down I am on the island, but there are so many landmarks that after a while you get it.
What I've always been confused about is why they haven't made an optical drive with more than one read head. Read from two (or even 3) parts of the disc at once.
The worst part is the ice cold blood running through your veins as you stare at the screen, desperately hoping that you are misreading the command line.
You would still need to keep some sort of accounting, in order to plan according to usage cycles and such, but yea, it need not have identifiable information.
Fastforward 20 years, and your used digital-music-optic-cubes will only be $50 a piece (which is a steal considering the $250 sticker price), and they'll still be unplayable because the files are still encoded in quantum DRM.
In otherwords, a used CD with DRM is still a CD with DRM.
Was it a dream where you see yourself standing in sort of sun-god robes on a pyramid with a thousand naked women screaming and throwing little pickles at you?
Hey! You! You there, with your low slashdot number and your posts making sense! Ha! See if we listen to YOUR logic and experience! This is OUR flame war! Just because we've never touched anything more antique than Fedora Core 2 doesn't mean we don't know anything about the dark, mysterious history of Unix! Go back to your smarmy little terminal screens and your ascii based adventure games and leave the commenting to us REAL experts on the subject. We don't know what a teletype is, and we have some sort of vague idea that LISP might be a speech impediment, but we're doing just fine without your type in here interfering!

cars? probably not. How about aircraft carriers or cruise ships?

I did the same thing to a web directory. *poof*

I find your ideas interesting and would like to subscribe to your newsletter.
I'm with you. My development environment is vi.
/of course, I'm a network admin, and don't program much beyond shell scripts, and the odd PHP application.
Not to mention really mindless twiddle games, preferably one where a snake-thingy eats fruit of some nature and must avoid his own tail.
Yea, it's very flexible and powerful, but it's also a complete pain in the ass, especially for adding several service checks that are very similar.
I have a
check_disk_root, check_disk_var, check_disk_db, etc etc
and each one requires an entry in checkcommands and services.
Me too, but lord I hope the config on Zenoss is better than on nagios
(here, better == easier)
I mucked up my html, then replied to my own post. Yea, I meant to say "blatantly stolen by me"
Sorry for the confusion
All I'm saying is that I hope you guys have a good back up policy
Blatantly by me. Thanks.

One word (really two words (and possibly a lot more), but who's counting?)

Why am I the only one who has that dream?
I don't mind advertising; I actually LIKE appropriate advertising that lets me know of deals on things that I like.
I hate stupid spam advertising.
technically, so does my stock dump spam, but anyway...
Wasn't there a version of office (97 or something) that could be activated using all 0's?
Honestly, if I could do a +50 funny, this would have it.
I would think that unless it rotated against the galactic plane, it would be rendered invisible half of the time it was on the far side of SgsA*

And logically, bouncing someone off a teeter totter isn't your fault, it's gravity's.
Assuming that science gets a neural->digital interface, it shouldn't be that hard.
The more interesting question is, how do you stop other people from downloading what's in your brain?
It would have to be DRM.
