--They didn't add too many drivers: SP3.CAB (which presumably includes all the contents of SP2.CAB) is only 19587 KB in size, a mere 7 percent larger than the SP2 driver file released in August 2004.
Are you seriously basing your opinion on drivers on file size?! Good god, man.
General, I've been reading up a little on this because I'm considering joining the Air Force after (during?) college, and I have a question that I think many people have, but I hadn't seen it asked yet:
What will be the setting for those involved in the new Cyber Command? I take it that the main base will be somewhere in the States, but would we be deployed to places like the Middle East? I can easily imagine a facility in an air-conditioned office-type building, but I'm not sure how well it'd work in situations like those in the Middle East...
Also, If we are placed near active combat, would we be seeing combat ourselves? I myself would probably be comfortable with handling and operating weapons, but I can't say whether many of the people you are trying to attract would be... Many might even be comfortable with a standard sidearm. (I once participated in a school trip to Pease ANGB, where myself and two others were treated to a session in the combat simulator, with a once-real M16, M9, and one shotgun that I don't remember the name of.)
Interestingly, I recently noticed that my school has installed OpenOffice(.org) on all the computers--but the shortcuts only appear on teachers' desktops.
At least I don't have to convert to MS'.doc format any more. Just tell them to open it in this "OpenOffice.org thing".
YOU FOOL! They're minerals! Ten points off your final grade!
Seriously, I had a geology teacher like this, though it was only one point for each time. We still go back (was last year) and call them rocks, though.
Argh, I know exactly what you mean. I have games that put themselves into/usr/games (Nethack),/usr/share/games (Doom, Sauerbraten), and/usr/local/games (America's Army, Docking Station). Fortunately, slocate is on my side.
Whether or not a degree will be useful in a job, the better-paying jobs will either require a degree, or you will be greatly aided in getting the job if you have said degree.
I believe there was a story on this quite recently, too.
Same reason I (on Linux) use KDE's GUI search over (s)locate most of the time. It searches filenames, filetypes, metadata fields, in files, and much more. I'm sure I can get slocate and *grep to do this as well, but I'm not especially familiar with either (yet).
One instance: I'm playing Nethack, and I want to tweak a message. I open up the search, and paste the message. It gives the file name and line number. I then open the file and jump to that line. Much more time-saving.

Yet.
And what about us who recently had surgery on our toe and are not allowed to shower, you insensitive clod?!
Seriously, though, I can't shower until tomorrow or I risk infection. (If you want me to prove it, I have a paper here that I can scan.)

Aww...
How about me?
Seriously, I had a geology teacher like this, though it was only one point for each time. We still go back (was last year) and call them rocks, though.
Should be a degree sign (and now that I notice, an F) in there somewheres. I'm not about to hand out a hundred and forty beers.
So all we have to do is heat the beer up REALLY HOT, and all the heat will flow out! Yeah!
/me hands out 140 beers
And this is why I start modding from the bottom up.
Too bad I don't have any mod points...
You must be right in my area. I don't suppose it's on your car..

Oh, god. The mere mention of decrypting regexen wants me to find the nearest way to dissociate my eyes from their sockets.
And your university's IT budget is how big?
This is Slashdot, we bash Microsoft here.

It isn't?!
So why isn't Vista all that great? It has been delayed for years...
Seriously, who uses an SUV? Get a frickin' BUS or something!
Essentially, though it may look good, it doesn't always mean you're actually good at what you are trying to do.
