A large problem with this modular form is that people aren't taking advantage of it as much anymore;
More and more people need to completely overhaul or even replace their systems to support new software, and this conflicts with the modular upgrade design.
As with the xbox which has now been wholesale 'replaced' with the xbox360, upgrades now take the form of a new device with better overall specifications.
We geeks, however, will always support modularity as long as it is beneficial to us.

You idiot, you drop them into the Mr Fusion, not the flux capacitor!
Credit scores are used for too many things, though. You can be discriminated against on the basis of your credit report during a job application. Like SSNs, credit scores are something you ought to be able to hide but can't.
Run the background setter in your.xsession? This is a reasonable approximation of what the nautilus 'crap' does anyway. And for those of us in fluxbox, this is what we do by default. 'fbsetbg -l'
security is both easier and less important in other industries. People have a known amount of strength, and you can calculate against that (i.e. safes, armoured trucks, etc.)
I am sorry your experiences were poor but I set up nagios for a medium-sized datacentre in a few hours with zero hassle. I'd never used it before, but the config files were easy to read and understand. As for plugins, it will run any linux util you point it at. How's that for plugins?
it's basically just a cron job of linux checking commands with a web interface. How is it bloated?
Er...computers being solid state doesn't mean they exist in a binary universe of working and not working. For one, they have integrated components which may stop working, then the pc is working but not fully functional. Furthermore, any given component could have individual capacitors fail and experience random issues. Frequently a dying motherboard manifests itself as odd software issues.
I'm not sure what does it, but when I watch the films I regress to that state of wonder and fantasy.
I am a film snob but star wars still entertains me every time. Something nostalgic or timeless about it, I guess!
Funny. I seem to remember Cuba signing and ratifying the twelve international counterterrorism conventions in 2001. I also seem to remember that the 'direct help' to Venezuela consists of thousands of trained doctors and medical professionals who are at this time living in slums to help venezuela. Venezuela paid for this courtesy in oil, of course, but that doesn't change the sacrifice those people are making.
Fucker. Everything is terrorism these days, it seems. They're in 'talks' for potential terrorist attacks with unnamed islamic (interesting specification! all the states involved are islamic?) states.
There ought to be an 'ignorant asshat' mod.
Hah, the US administration has been embargoing Cuba since just before Bay of Pigs, i.e. Kennedy.
I think the idea originally was to make the people suffer in order to foster an anti-communism coup or revolution. Oh yeah, that's likely. The cubans who don't like it there come here, and most of the rest are happy.
I don't like a lot of Yahoo's services, but I have to admit they offer some of the best web games available.
I've also had zero problems with their messenger, but it's been a while since I've used it. Now I use gaim or trillian to conserve taskbar real-estate:P
I should note that I don't think the average american only takes ten days off per year: I, and everyone else I've ever worked with in the IT field, have paid vacation. I'm taking a week trip to Themeparks with friends in June, in fact.
My mod points ran out yesterday else I'd mod you straight down. Hopefully others will.
I fail to see how your implied answer; the government should take care of you, is relevant. Oh, we have to take care of our own health insurance. Oh, we don't get a free month of not working.
Quit your whining about how America isn't socialist. We work for a living, and if we take care of ourselves we're PLENTY healthy. The answer doesn't lie where you seem to think it does.
I remember my buddy said "this is a great song, you should audiogalaxy it!" and I did, and he immediately said "): you're downloading from me"
it DID try to connect to the best or nearest peer with the song, plus it was a somewhat unknown song.
Web search, followed by IRC, follow by Napster, followed by bearshare, by gnutella, by audiogalaxy, by kazaa, by whatever I'm using now:P
I'd tell you for the sake of more users, but frankly I'd rather not draw attention to it. Napster proved that the law won't protect these systems
Cisco cert people are pretty hardcore about using cisco products, even when they aren't right for the job.
of course, this coming from a windows sysadmin.
I've been job seeking for a few weeks now, thanks for this bit of info.
I'd have to remember some syntax I don't have memorized to do that script, I admit. You'd basically check the timestamp with an ls -l | awk {'print $6'}, right? then check that against `date`...this is the part I'm hazy on mail all the names and/or contents of the files in queue to the admin users, then delete all those where timestamp was so much less than date?
Oh I wish I used Bash scripting on a daily basis, so this could be an instant thing. But it still couldn't possibly take me more than twenty minutes to script

I have never had any issues with GNUCash. Maybe I should write a Manual on it.
I could be wrong, but won't "wuauclt.exe /detectnow" do that for you?
The fault there lies with project maintainers and developers, not with the LAMP architecture.

What did you think that 'cacls' line did, anyway? How the hell did you get modded up?

You're thinking of PortaPuTTy, I'm sure.
Darknets and secure P2P networks.

A lot of scripting languages allow a === for strict equality (including type)
= is assignment, == is equality, and === is often referred to as 'strict equality'. I don't know, however, of any compiled languages that use it.
