I'm having a slow week at work, so I brought in some infocom games to play. I just started Bureaucracy, which was written by Douglas Adams. So far there seem to be a fair number of H2G2 in-jokes scattered around in there. Worth looking into if you haven't played it.
One of the best things you can hear in scientific circles is something along the lines of "What the hell is that?"
I agree that it can be a good thing to hear every now and then. But trust me when I tell you it gets really annoying when it comes out of your co-worker's (or even worse, your boss's) mouth every few minutes.
$500 bucks a year per physical server is pretty cheap in the grand scheme of things. Basically, you can try out and use it for free as you set the server(s) up, but when you go live, you can have the assurance that proper support brings. Or not. Your choice. Good move on Sun's part.

I can't wait for the MP3 Blender. Then I can have it play You Spin Me Round (Like a Record) while I blend!
Yeah, but Will It Blend? Hmmm, that'd make for an interesting showdown--can a Blendtec devour a lesser blender?
But three rights end up making a left!
You're assuming square blocks or a grid-like street layout. Try three rights in a city with diagonals or circles and see where it gets you.
This is more of a preview rather than a review, especially since they mention they'll post their full review next week.
I've never understood the drive for a 3D GUI on a computer.
How else are we going to be able to say, "I know this. It's UNIX!"?
It's 6-D if you think of the scroll bars as extra dimensions.
The scroll bars were already covered by horizontal and vertical in the OP.
Blink and you would have missed it.
Which is why we can't blink in anything we do. Never blink!
Citing Old usage and usage in different languages does not mean that it is proper functional English.
Nobody said it's functional English that we're talking about. This is marketing, after all.

I suspect perhaps they already were getting fired anyhow and decided to leave behind a 'legacy' they could be remembered for.
Good thing they included their résumé in there. : p
Just be glad that it was Timothy and not someone else. Then it'd be Douglases' Adam that we have to worry about.
Well, it could have been posted by kdawson, in which case the article would be about the HHGTTG, written by Adam Chesterton. : p
...and am still after the radio play (which I've been told is the best of the lot).
It looks like there will be another round of reissues for the various "phases" of this coming in the next few months.
Yeah, there's that, too.
Why does government have to be so clueless?
It doesn't *have* to be. But it generally is when you put a bunch of people who despise the notion of "government" in charge of running it.
Watt you say?
Your acronym is wrong. 'Thing' does not start with F.
It does if you've been drinking.

The funny's just filling the void that would otherwise be filled with the chirping of crickets.
Please tell me more about these space crickets when you get a chance.
$54 million for just a name? Sounds a little high to me.
Oh c'mon. Who hasn't done something stupid when they were high?
Damn nerds and their goofy pocket projectors...

Solution for facebook: Just don't.

Crap. We need more comments, people! I'm still showing only one page here.
What is this fascination with red devices? Should I start painting my network gear red?
Of course you should. It makes it operate at faster speeds. I thought everyone knew this.
forkin hell!
And here I was hoping I'd see a Spoonerism somewhere.
What directory layout is that? GoboLinux?
Duh, gee. I dunno...
