And sex is one of those sacrifices. Plus it's a lot easier to give up than say, eating and breathing, death tends to make it tough to write code.
Combine that with the fact that the "mating" in the overall sense is messy, confusing, and often expensive, and you end up with a lot of celibate geeks.
To be honest, I was already unhappy with management long ago, but their rollover overtime policy wasy "no extra pay, but double comp time, oh BTW, there's a vacation freeze from December - March" didn't help.
I quit a job that would have required me to come in the morning of New Years Day, for a job that gave me Friday afternoon off and a nice increase in pay.
I wonder how many people gave notice on December 16th?
Perhaps it's not mandatory now, but the ease of doing a 'non-intrusive' scan ensures that they will start scanning more and more people.
Strip searches are uncommon because people tend to complain, file lawsuits, etc. Since fewer people will sue over being 'scanned', scanning will happen more and more often.
Yeah, but this gun-toter says that I have both a gun and food.
Preparedness means that you not only stock up on food, water and fuel to protect yourself from the elements, but you also stock up on the tools necessary to protect yourself from the people who didn't prepare.
Guns and food are not mutually exclusive commodities. Where I shop, you can buy both in the same trip.
While it is not inexpensive ($99), the commercial product Accelerated X does provide configurations for just about every video card and monitor in production.
It may not be open source, but it does work, and that is my number one criteria.

You can say the same thing about drivers for Linux- It's difficult enough for hardware manfacturer's to support 95, NT, Netware and perhaps SCO, so why should we ask them to put in even more effort to support Linux, BSD, etc? I am not going to 'give up on BSD' just because Linux happens to be getting all of the media hype. If Linux becomes the only operating system of choice if you want the latest and greatest desktop hardware, then it becomes no better than MS-Windows except in terms of who gets the profits.
Every company has some defective phones come out of their factory, Qualcomm is no exception. Plus, it seems like the digital phones are more difficult to make reliable/reliably.
What I like about the Qualcomm products is that they have one of the best user interfaces of any cell phone I've tried.
I own a QCP-1920, and work gave me a Nextel i1000. The UI on the i1000 sucks, to the point that I leave it on the charger at work, set to forward calls to my Qualcomm phone...
Yes, Solaris provides support for a unique identifier, but they are not "a company like that", they are a company like every other mainframe/mini vendor.
This goes back DECADES, and has nothing to do with privacy or the invasion of the same. And if you feel like being paranoid, there are utilities allowing you to reset the system ID to any value you choose, making it a moot point.
Just because they are out to get you doesn't mean you aren't paranoid
You must be doing something wrong. I've run just about every Intel-based System V release 4 operating system on the market, including Solaris 2.6, an it is anything but useless. I agree, it is not the fastest x86 OS, but it is reliable, robust (The best NFS V3 server code), and a good choice for certain applications. Solaris X86 shares 99% of the same source code as Solaris Sparc, and thus has all of the architecture-independent strengths (and weaknesses) of any other Solaris machine.

Speaking of Pokemon parodies and South Park, Superosity has a short movie parody, Parkemon.

The *BSD fans have been made well-aware by many /. users that we have few friends here...
Just be happy you got in a first post.

OTOH, an Ultra 5 under $2K would go very nicely wiht a small network of the $10/month 'Sun Ray' smart terminals...
