I for one welcome our new liquid gypsum and concrete nozzle spraying overlords. it just rolls off the tongue. Let's just hope they never develop a bukake fetish. yeeech.
I'd hazard a guess that it was something one of the editors used long ago, and he got sentimental readint the articles. I think I may have heard of it.. never used it. slightly puzzled over the 'most respected' title it's picked up. I have little respect and mostly loathing for anything PC based. but that's hardly a shock to most.:)
I had a friend in college who would get emails from relatives along the lines of 'Oh, I got a hilarious email yesterday, I'll send it to you!', and 3 days later he'd get a snail mail from them with a printed off email. They just never quite grasped the concept, I suppose.
more off topic.. at a major.com place.. we had a 'show room' data center, for to impress executives of large accounts we wanted to win. had a tour going through. exec got to the end and saw 2 buttons, both red one little and the other big. he picked the EPO to open the mag locks. I think we stopped tours after that.
It'd also be moderately interesting to find out how many passwd change requests myspace has to deal with in a day/week/month as compared to corp. usrs. strong passwords are great. unless you have to have them reset everytime.. or the passwd change reuqirements are so onerous that everyone just scribbles them down onto a yellow post it under the keyboard. could also be that many of the strong passwords are actually stored by mozilla/firefox and the user has little more than a vague recollection of hitting 'remember password'.
.. the President of the United States cannot do anything illegal, because the very act of commission on his part legitimizes his decision. Because we are in a state of Presidentially-declared war, everything, and I mean everything, he does is under the aegis of the War on Terror.
...a Democrat-run White House is the President capable of authorizing or committing an illegal act.,
While I don't follow your supposed line (yes, my sarcasm detector is in full working order) that Bush can do no good, neither do I think it's appropriate for the President to be screwing interns and lying to congress under oath about it. Although I would probably concede that Bush seems to be on a more disturbing course than cigar boy.
I'm not a lawyer either, but I've once heard of a court ruling that electronic emenations from a house/business/etc were considered public domain. This also happened to be what the.gov was pushing for, as the shoe was on the other foot (police monitoring what a home was outputting.. etc etc). homefully someone (aside from the guy using the wifi connection) get slapped down good for this. and c'mon. 911? HALP! my (wide open, unsecured) internet is being used by someone who didn't paaaay!
I've heard (my company is also in a frantic outsourcing mode, so stories abound and some may not be fully correct) that the salary increases for many parts of India have been increasing at an average of 20% per year for the past several years, this coupled with the difficulty of hiring/keeping people (As I understand many times company A gives someone an offer letter, agrees on a start date, the person walks down the street to company B, gets a better offer letter and never darkens A's door again) and time difference and quality control problems will soon make India non-viable as a solution. I kind of wonder how much the local economies in India will have become dependant on the influx & grow of outsourced work and how bad things will crash there when companies decide that it's not worth it anymore.
Well. no, I never have heard of GEnie. but if you were with compuserve... unless it was in that (somehwhat) short time frame between when they started up and when AOL decided to buy them, you were going through AOL, too. you just didn't know it.
maybe that quote will be added to the list of such memorables as: 640k ought to be enough for anyone computers of the future may weigh no more than 1.5 tons
and my favorite I think there is a world market for maybe five computers
Er. I think I'd call bullshit. A security team is responsible for keeping infrastructure as secure (and still usable) as possible. Training is another issue in and of itself, and no amount of hand holding can overcome the problems of those who are going to be willfully ignorant.
I'm wishing they'd put my IP ranges in the 'great firewall' so I get less spam, fewer ssh attempts (nothing annoys me so greatly as sending an abuse report and get the exact same problem the next day). I'm doing all I can to censor all of china from all my machines.
well. that's a somewhat interesting idea, but how many color specs do you intend to have? I'll readily admit that I'm not much of a hardware geek, but I can get lost fairly easily through the iterations of hardware... aren't there 5 or so 'in use' CPU slot configurations now? how far back will Walmart have to go to be of use to many DIY sorts of hardware poeple?

I'd suggest that it'd be cost prohibitive or you'd always have generic users unsure if you were legit with the self signed/generated SSL cert.
kinda late on this, but what about all the other google ... schtuff? like google calendar, the ig base page and whatnot?

The big cargo van with a dish on top and a maple leaf on the side that happens to be following you around is the biggest give away. :)

I seem to recall the declaration of war having been brought forward in Congress. CNN.com - Senate approves Iraq war resolution - Oct. 11, 2002

it's not impossible. I used to bullseye spherical screen projectors in my t16 back home and they're not much bigger than 2m.

it could always be worse (not work appropriate).
