The one thing I really like about the powertoy that I wish other pagers did is the tile function, where they display all the desktops, and you click to select which one you want.
I mean, with 3desk I have a cooler select method, but I like the "tile" thing too.
Do you think that you arn't being pressed by evolution right now?
What if you were deathly allergic to aspartame? You'd most likely have been dead before you could have reproduced, and not passed along those particular genes.
I'd be willing to guess that dramatic evolution has been altered recently by medical science. Of course, the timespan is so short since medical science has been capable of saving those with incredibly debilitating diseases that we don't see the effects. I'm also not stating that this is a bad thing. I think it only means good things in the long run. We're not really aiming for more hardy physical specimens, I think, more acutely intelligent humans will be in stronger demand, I think. As such, our ability to save the lives of physically handicapped people will advance the human race faster than developing, say, two livers. Think Stephen Hawking.
Completely off topic, but what do you think of the IBM servers? We've been a mostly dell shop for a while, but we've recently gotten fed up with their lack of support, and are looking for other options. Thanks!
I'm with you. I've thought about that too... "What if Pat kicks the bucket and no one takes over?" "Well, I guess I'll just have to do it myself".
I'm a slackware user since 1996/97, and I couldn't live without it. I'm a sysadmin and I current have it installed on over 40 production servers. It's terrific.
Use RedHat for a year, and you know RedHat really well.
Use Slackware for a year, and you know Linux really well.
It works, and requires that you learn. It's not a distobution for someone who wants to use a desktop and doesn't care how things work. It's for the person that says "I wonder what that file does".
I use it to monitor server room temp and various database archive logs, too. If the primary and backup DBs arn't looking for the same file, something is wrong, and throw an alert:)
I *heart* Nagios (and MRTG, which I use for even more)

Jay and Silent Bob?
What was the point of the 360?
To take consumer money. Any way you look at it.

I would hazard that much beyond that and it sucks to load into memory, edit, swap, and so forth live via AJAX.

in one sense, evolution IS genetic modification.
and if you mean it hasn't equipped us to deal with these artificial ingredients, then you really mean
"evolution has not YET equipped man to deal with..."
because if this stuff is added, it will happen, if given a long enough chance
You just described something like 1/5th of my childhood.
Something like that happened to my grandma. A medical bill came for $0.35. She sent them back a quarter and a dime, and never heard another word.

what's the model of your watch? I might be interested in something like that.
Yes. a truely Personal Area Network. I can't wait till it works and is even remotely secure.

Chess is nothing.
Get a computer that can beat a master of Go, and you'll have something.
Seriously!
"Hi, I'm Matt, and I sit around all day and think of stuff that other people want to do. Why yes, that IS my Mercedes in the parking lot..."
Actually I think Slack still comes with a 486 compile.
wow. I typed the exact same comment, I just didn't see yours.
Very Nice.
(and correct)
Time to install Slackware: 20 minutes
/not that I'm biased
Time to get Slackware in a usable state: 10 more minutes
WHOOSH!
That was the joke going WAY over your head
That's great. You should also include Good Eats, if you haven't already. Awesome show. Makes home-ec look like kindergarten :-)
I've always maintained that anyone who could color could write a VB app.
//good// VB app, but anyway.
Not a
And then another day or two writing scripts to add things to the Nagios configs, because doing it manually is a major PITA

Why not just call it a plutoid?
