12 people in our department. (Small woman's college)
CIO: White female
Academic tech: white male (me)
Media Services: black male
Network manager: white male
Server manager: black male
Programmers: two white males, one white female
Staff support: white female
Hardware: white female
Help Desk: one white female, one black male
Total: 9 white, 3 black, 7 men, 5 women.
Seems pretty balanced to me given the local population. Then again, we tend to hire people with little experience and promote from within. (CIO started as a secretary years ago, server manager began as a help desk grunt, etc.)
Can I work there? I have little experience, am unemployed, and I love small women!
For a second there I thought they had gotten to Slashdot too. But seriously, does anyone know how to download and make a copy of wikipedia? I have a severely underused hosting account that I wouldn't mind using as a mirror for everyone's favorite free encyclopedia.
Service Pack 3 is generally after the next version is out historicly unless I am mistaken and usually the final service pack.
I think the original poster was joking that Vista is not much more than a small upgrade from XP. That seems true; but XP wasn't much of an upgrade from 2000, and '98 wasn't much of an upgrade from '95 either.
Is there any place where someone can buy a 250GB hard drive that is pre-loaded with movies or Simpsons episodes? If not, then maybe I should start a little black market business...
Wll maybe more people would buy them if they didn't get Tiger handheld games for xmas from uninformed parents when they were growing up. Man did those games ever blow chunks...
This suffice it to say reinforces the image of public sector workers abusing their state privaliges. I remember an interview with Wanda Sykes where she talked about her other job at her job while working at the state. I am a very strong supporter of teh privitization of many Government agencies. I'm sick and tired of seeing my tax dollars being wasted by over payed gum chewing counter people who have no clue.
Yeah, like private sector employees any more competent; and the CEOs are obviously less corrupt than the heads of these organizations. Lets just have Haliburton run the Armed Forces, and Citibank run the US Mint.
As for The Sims 2, I would presume that their main public are girls. They don't exactly know or want to know the computer knowledge required to pirate games.
It's not just girls though. A few of my buddies in college that had absolutely no idea how to download programs were hooked on The Sims (A friend installed it for them). Personally I think the game is boring and focuses on the worst part of the original Sim City game; only this time instead of rebuilding after an earthquake or tornado, we get to pick up people's garbage or they die. Fun...
Is it just me or are realtime strategy games becoming too complicated to run in realtime? Command and Conquer was about as complex as I could handle without wanting to slow the game down to a crawl to be able to micro-manage everything. I wouldn't mind a few games based off of the CIV 4 engine, myself. Of course, turn based games always seem to have some AI and balancing issues.
f you take two separate monkey clans and observe their behavior, you will find that once a certain number of one clan starts doing something specific (like washing food in a stream before consumption), that the second group, without any contact with the first group will also start doing the same thing automatically. It is called critical mass, and it explains why it takes a long time for something to initially occur, but once a certain number of monkeys start doing it that it automatically spreads to other unrelated monkey clans (of the same species).
1. Does anybody know of a MMORPG that isn't addictive in the sense that it requires hour upon hour of repetitive tasks before the best parts of the game are available? Or maybe that's the whole point of these games?
2. Does anybody know of a Space trading game like Eve, that is free to play? Even a well done single player game would be cool. I've tried a lot, and Starknights and a 1 year old shareware game are the best I've found.
Those are very minor. Most users don't need either Flash or Java.
Are you kidding me? Do you have any idea how many calls the Dell support staff will recieve because of all of the people complaining about Bejeweled being broken?
Why include such idiocy in the story? One very obvious advantage over GPS that is stated in the fucking article is that the USA reserves the right to switch GPS off. And, with ten seconds over at Wikipedia, you could find out that Galileo has a much better resolution than GPS. So mod entire story as -1, Flamebait - because there's no -5, Fucking Idiot At The Wheel option.

Vista is about as much a "small upgrade from XP" as OS X was a "small upgrade from NeXT".
I hope your right. It looks good on paper, but it seems like they aren't including a lot of the new stuff in the first release.
Flamebait huh? There must have been a Java programmer with mod points.
Virtual machine based stuff (Java/JVM, .NET/CLR) (even popular on cell phones these days)
So that's why it takes two friggen minutes to turn on my cell phone!
Nothing for you to see here. Please move along.

The PuTTY win32 client documentation can be found here. It has a good intro to SSH as well.
So the whole horror of a turkish prison, or the french fire island was just made up? Or do you just assume that you onlty had bad shit in the us
Yes, that's exactly what I wass saying...

Enjoy pound me in the ass federal prison then. That sort of things leads to extended vacations at Club Fed.
Not everyone is so lucky to live in the "great" USA, where anal rape accepted as part of the justice system.

That's one intelligent designer!
Now the geeks can see what they've been missing all these years. Level Up! Dildo Upgraded! 50 Pts!

Eyecandy, that is not.

Wow, you know your a geek when you download a 200MB file to play barbie.
This isn't the sort of experiment that I want to see go out of control...
I'm guessing that you'd be dead before you knew anything was wrong. So, no big deal right?

Interesting, but obviously impossible.
Looks perfect. Thanks!

I just upgraded to the new intel Extreme graphics thingy. The Bestbuy guy said it was the best on the market. Is that true??? I mean EXTREME!!!
He did say something about them breaking easy though. So I bought the extended warranty, of course.
