There is a reason why mice carry the fear gene - it keeps them out of danger. There were probably "fearless" mice thousands of years ago but while they were being "fearless" and getting killed the other mice lived to breed.
Pros: Spend time with a female. Possibility for time with a female after shopping.;-)
Cons: Dress like a metro-sexual. Spend lots of money on clothes you'll never wear again.

If this doesn't get modded "Insightful" I don't know what will.
Most of the DemonBreath people I know of are coffee drinkers. I believe that even people with the freshest breath and cleanest teeth tend to get Coffee Breath (TM) after a couple of cups of coffee. I personally try to use a mint or chew some gum after a cup for that very reason.
BTW just to stay somewhat on topic, doesn't each MRE come with some instant coffee?
And that's why I go after Asia. Sure, it's tougher to keep but with everyone fighting over the Americas and Australia I can usually get Asia. If it gets too tough to keep I may go after Europe.
As a new small business owner, I can honestly say that Google is now more of my friend than ever. I can quickly and easily find information on items I carry, my competitor carries or even items I might want to carry. I research online reviews and all-around better get to know products in my industry.
Google helps people to find my website and learn about me as well.
That having been said it does not remove my need to visit my competitors down the street but I don't always have that luxury.
I'm so sick of reading about MPAA and RIAA. I don't pirate their products and I do not want to lose my rights to make copies of the products that I have bought.
I say we pick a weekend and not buy any CDs, DVDs, or watch any movies. Maybe that would get some of their attention.
Getting customers is tough. I'm a small business owner and I know firsthand how tough it can be. Breaking people's habits and introducting products/services that go against traditional thinking as well as still being in Beta not to mention branding all work against Sun in this regard.
The parent was modded as "funny" although it's much closer to "sad truth". And, unfortunately, I wouldn't call it "the future of IT" but instead "the present".

Netscape's time as come and past a long time ago. As long as (l)users are prompted to select between Microsoft anything and something else they are 99% of the time going to select Microsoft.
To Sid: Thank you for creating the Civilization games. I've spent more time playing any one of them than I have playing any other games. Any chance of the Colonization game ever being updated? I remember it being a very good game as well.
No matter how many versions there are, M$ should make it easier (possible) to upgrade to a different version at a fair price. I know, this is asking *a lot*.
When I bought the upgrade to XP I purchased the $99 upgrade to Windows XP Home Edition because I really didn't need remote desktop abilities, etc. Later I decided I wanted XP Professional. I called M$ and wanted to pay the $100 difference (XP Pro was $199 at the time I originally bought XP Home). I was told that was not an option and that if I wanted to upgrade to XP Pro I would have to pay the $199.
Just something that Microsoft should consider - fair upgrade paths if they really do not want pirates on their hands.

Been there/done that.

...they should bring in more vendors with better swag to bestow upon the IT employees.

So, does a business need a 3-D desktop? No.
Does a PHB want/"need"/request/expect a 3-D desktop. Probably, considering said PHB has one at home/read about how cool/needed it is.
The Windoze boxen was probably pwned and, thus, slowed by malware.
You've obviously never seen wookie on ewok action before.
But the people installing their software/rootkit are people that actually have a CD and have probably paid for it.
If this is vigilante justice then this is a great example of why that brand of justice is illegal - it's like going after the wrong person.

Windows and some *nix can run on iSeries.

A Beowulf cluster of these wouldn't cost too much. Imagine that!

I saw your mom on the Internet.
With the money you'll save using OpenOffice over Office just buy a faster CPU and more RAM. It will speed up OO and still be money better spent.

No problem. The updated Civ IV will have greatly improved, 3-D graphics. I can hardly wait although the old graphics are still fine for me.
1. Break up the company.
2. One division for OS (MicroSoft), one division for "security" (MicroHardened)
3. ????
4. PROFIT!

The other 1% will click the wrong radio button.

Gee, thanx. If Sid Meier creates Civilization MMORPG I'll have to move into my parent's basement so I can play it 24/7.
