[ Everyone knows you only move up to a x.0 version if 1) you competetor has a x.0 version above you, or 2) you are going to release a buggy version;) ]
Slack has been at 8.0 for ~1 yr; 8.1 is approaching the gates. SuSE just released 8.0. RH must be falling behind!! (laff)
Interesting you refer to it as an art. My view of SA is that of a craft or trade. While post-secondary education (of some sort, not necessarily CS or CE) is important, the job demands an apprenticeship period with a a mentor that has been there a while. The unfortunate reality is that may SA's get started by being dropped in without any support around them.
This announcement should have been held off for another 31 days. While the./ sub announcement is serious, the ensuing hilarity from posting this on April 1st would have been priceless.
They only need to become savvy enough to utilize kits developed by others. Witness the proliferation of virus variants and rootkits. Calling a skript kiddie tech-savvy is a wild overstatement.

Analytical volumes are in the mL range to ease handling and to minimize cumulative error. In most modern techniques, microlitres are taken up by the test instruments; the actual amount of 'stuff' that is actually analysed is minute. Good test design and bench technique give good results.
It's not the sample volume I'd be questioning, but calibration, standarization, and QA procedures. These are the root of inaccurate (and imprecise) test results.
There's more than just kernel source as a teaching resource. The shell scripts that are part of any distribution can be used as examples of basic programming concepts; likely with better results.
My current nightmare install has a hard-coded db sid (ORCL), $ORACLE_HOME, and other asst. gems all wrapped up in a NT setup.exe.
The $DOLLARS/day service engineer 'just happens' to have the exploded setup files on cd (that I am normally not allowed to see). What are they? A vb script that copies a few files and executes a few sql scripts (and not very well, mind you).
Feh. Even the oddest of Makefile setups allows me to get in and figure things out if a make fails.
They just _had_ to trot out the temporal crap in the pilot episode. Why couldn't they have waited 'til the 3rd season when the writers run out of new ideas.
What if you have no thumbs? Either by birth or accident, limbs and digits may not be there to be used. Eg, in my town, I know of people with (1) dual prosthetic arms, (2) 3 fingers on 1 hand remaining.
I recall a major sport event (olympics?) tried a biometric identity scheme (right hand scan?) and didn't know what to do when 'Lefty' showed up for accreditation.
odd. I kind of liked the premier and got turned completely off the show when they added, and almost completely focused the show on, the Doofus-Guy. It seemed to me that the 1st episode was done, then Hollywood got hold of it, couldn't understand the anti-hero slant and bolted the 4th guy on.

To all whinging about the modem: I recall the modem wouldn't pick up under any OS, Mandrake, SuSE, or WinMe. It was a dud.
Of interest, the WinMe was the least newbie friendly, requireing the manual loading of some 3rd party drivers.
Ding! Close but no cigar...
!!! Light causes chemical reaction !!! It's a burst of intense light energy, absorbed by the tubes, that trips the rapid exothermic reaction (BANG).
Plus, take a flash picture of coal or graphite; they'll just sit there like a lump.

and buy one.
Just as soon as TiVO decides to offer them in CANADA!!

You obviously don't have a user base purchasing intranet apps.
Shiny bauble pieces of crap...
So when the wife sees last month's bank statement and it has 23 debit entries to Koch's Liquors, what is she going to _think_ you bought?

Of course it's humble you dolts, it's Canadian!!
Thank you.
Sorry if I offended anyone.

It's a script kiddies wet dream. Fresh, pristine XP boxes plugged in and available. I suspect scan activity will go up just a little.
I'll be interested in the news coverage in the first week and the spins that emerge.

Pointy-cliky setups.

Heh. Before that hit alt.sysadmin.recovery. It should scare you away; wish I'd seen it.
It's the Star Trek movie rule: the odd-numbered ones suck. Or is it the other way round??
Wouldn't the TiVo method of accomplishing this task be substantually different that the Pause patent, therefore not infringing?

Not as gritty as I would have liked either.
10 Parsecs?? Try ~30 minutes in! I only half-watched it from that point. It did have some other interesting breasts^W^W^W^W^W^W storylines, though.
What do you call a guy with no arms and legs...

The news last night stated that there is a push to get a 1st base for these started in Alaska.
Hmm, ICBM's fly over the North pole, Alaska defences intercept them, and the debris falls on Canada...
Yep, I'm _totally_ in favour of this.

Five letters, actually: CAAST
I think I'll go check my f/w logs...
