If there is no sourceforge project or metasploit package that lets me become the backseat driver for a commercial airliner (and there isn't, I checked), then this claim by the Airline Company is 100% pure bullsh*t.
In my experience, the best solution is to leave it out. If your experience is limited to JUST call-center work, list every responsibility you had while leaving out the fact that it was tech support. If you can dance around it well enough (And the company name doesn't give it away), you get all the benefits without any of the drawbacks.
Short Version: Lie.
It's awesome to see a vendor giving M$ the finger, it should give the M$ top dawgs a bit to chew on. Vista is turning out to be the ME of the new tech generation, and figuring out that not all their customers are going to take the new OSs immediately after their release should teach them to pay attention to what people really want. Microsoft OSs are not iPods, but it sounds like they base their strategies around retarded customer demand. (iProduct?)
As far as Dell's deal goes, Is this going to effect the price of their Vista Machines? And if you decide to reimage to XP, do you get to keep your Vista License? It sounds like Dell might be using this as a chance to pocket a bit more off supply/demand...
For the last 20 months, My roommate and I have not even taken the time to buy a set of bunny ears for the TV to pull local channels. The only purpose the TV in our front room serves is to watch DVDs or not-at-all-pirated-100%-legal-backup-copies of stuff on the media PC hooked to it. And to be a paperweight.
The only weird part is that since I am not used to it anymore, if I am in a room with a TV on at someone else's house I get distracted by commercials and appear comatose for 30 seconds.
It's actually pretty sad that someone took the time to do this. Clearly pottery and drumming are far more entertaining than... whatever these guys do all day.

' One who derives pleasure in creatively circumventing limitations '
Almost everyone in college had to 'creatively circumvent' their financial issues just to get there, and computers are way easier to do it with than money. Tunnel your communications using a different protocol to a system off-campus, and go from there. I'm still waiting for GOOD public servers that do that for any connection type...
Here is the one statement that will make me believe their motives:
CEO: And because we want to make sure everyone is equally able to use our service, we made a radical decision to move to a 5,000,000 client Token Ring!
I have to agree with plntrvlr. The effect that Geothermal tapping can have on the climate would be extremely miniscule. The rock you are pulling heat from, is in turn pulling heat from the rocks beneath it. If we don't concentrate where we pull the heat from, it would dissipate to the surface anyways.
Almost all the arguments made so far seem very invalid to me. It appears that few people are applying their arguments of detrimental effects against power extraction methods already in use. The major arguments against it that I have heard so far is that:
a) We might pull too much heat from under the surface and adversely effect the core. b) Moving heat from under the core to above the core will effect some sort of environmental balance. c) Earthquakes
As far as cooling or effecting the core of the Earth, that is lunacy. The core of the earth is ALOT hotter than the rocks we are pulling heat from. Cooling a rock the size of Candlestick Park by 200 degrees over the course of 50-75 years (unlikely)... The Earth is FAR bigger and FAR hotter. It would be less detrimental than hair falling out of your head.
In ragards to (b), yes. That's exactly what it does, and fortunately that's about all it does. Coal physically extracts resources from the Earth and emits CO and CO2 into the atmosphere along with that heat, and Nuclear power releases heat without pulling it form the Earth, and the by-products are in a league of their own as far as Environmental effect. Geothermal would have all the positive effects with far fewer negatives. Except one...
Earthquakes: If they are triggered, yeah... Life sucks. It's unlikely to damage the pipes, but will almost certainly spook local communities. The likelyhood of this occuring after the drilling has been completed seems pretty minimal, and a Scale 3 - 4 Earthquake will MAYBE put a 70+ unbalanced old woman with osteoperosis in the hospital.
All in all - weighing the pros and cons of this energy source shows that it would be the most effective with minimal real environmental impact.
That is awesome, I am going to make a little video like that, at the very least for my own satisfaction.
p.s. I'm not stealing your idea, I'm just copying it...
To be totally honest, I think this is one of the last things our government should be worried about, even only in the topic of education! I don't think they should be arguing over this (an easy solution, create a 'philosophy' class in high school), kids in the US have been falling behind their foreign counterparts for several years now (So much so that the sooner a kid gets out of standardized school, the better chance they have in direct competition). Thanks to our wise and loving president, that will increase ten-fold because with 'no child left behind,' the smart kids are given no opportunity to advance! they are held back to the level of the most *cough*retarded*cough* kid in the grade level. After some thought, it almost seems like a conspiracy similar to that in the George Orwell's Novel '1984'...

Like you I was surfing around this morning and I got nailed by it. I went to open a page, and suddenly 'Windows picture and fax viewer' popped up blank for about a quarter second, and went away. I am on my friends computer (because he leaves it at my house, and it is faster than mine), and luckily I installed spyware doctor a few hours earlier. It went nuts. I had about 400 attacks within 30 seconds, and it blocked all but the spysherrif. I ran an antivirus scan and got it all off before it could finish doing anything, so I barely saved it. That was some scary sh*t though.
