By not running the latest patches, you're exposing yourself and everybody else on the internet to the crap that's spewing out of your now hacked machine. I have conscientiously applied every security patch Microsoft has made available. To the best of my knowledge, none of my boxes have ever been hacked.
Why not install updated drivers for your 802.11 device instead, so that it will work with SP2? Easy for you to say. Slightly harder to actually do when the computer no longer talks to the fucking network!
I installed SP2. It broke my 802.11 connectivity (using NetGear MA111 USB wireless device) -- even with the firewall supposedly disabled. I backed out SP2. Now my computer continually insists it needs to upgrade to SP2...
Unfortunately, a couple times per year, the chilled water to our a/c unit gets shut off, and our servers are left to fry. Here's an idea: make the moron that shut off the water pay for replacing the servers!
Telecom equipment runs off -48VDC Why not just use +48VDC and switch the red and black wires? (Yes, I do know there is such a thing as a chasis ground.)
Moore's Law does not directly predict "performance", rather it predicts the number of transistors on a chip, e.g. "the number of transistors doubles every 18 months." Meaning we should have 67,108,864 times as many transistors as we did 39 years ago... if they have 1.7 billion now, then they should have had about 25 transistors per chip 39 years ago... it appears that we're slightly behind on keeping up with Moore's Law.
Uh, what if they simply change their MAC address to match an existing in-use MAC address? Seems to me that a system wherein anybody can shut off your communication just by spoofing your MAC address for a little while is inherently flawed.
That's why most companies now hire a third-party representative to offer large sums of money for the site, then if the party agrees, they can bitchslap them with a cybersquatting suit... sigh.
No, the real other beauty of electric propulsion is that it uses motor-generators, which can convert most of the energy from braking back into electricity to recharge the batteries. Even on constant speed freeways, the batteries recharge while you are going downhill.
Without a 401k or a 403b, how do I take care of retirement?" With an IRA, obviously. You can even roll your 401k over into an IRA. Note that there are different types of IRAs (e.g. Roth IRA) with different tax consequences; you really need a financial advisor to help you with this.
I've been consulting for the last 9 years and it's been ok. I had the opposite problem: Tektronix forced me to go from contractor to permanent (at a significant pay reduction). Since I was single and they had no employee bonuses or stock options at the time, so I got tired of it about 6 months later and went back to contracting.
In my experience, you don't have any more job security in a "permanent" position than you do contracting. You'd be suprised how many people get laid off shortly before they vest in their retirement plan...
It's not "tracking everything I print". It's tracking everything printed on my printer that winds up in the hands of law enforcement. It isn't tracking everything I burned or shredded. As a non-criminal, why should I have a problem with paper documents I am distributing being traced back to me? Allowing people to anonymously print documents like Thomas Paine's Common Sense would just get people all riled up and start revolutions anyway...
That was my first thought, although not quite as humorous: they need to add a clause to the effect of "If you attact the GPL, you forfeit any rights to use GPLed software." Unfortunately, as the Samba team has already decided, you can't penalize people just for being asses...
In relation to your sig, whenever you hear Bush speak, replace "Freedom" with "American Imperialism" and it all makes sense. No argument there, Bush uses the word "freedom" as an empy buzzword with apparently no connection to it's real meaning. However, you are taking the quote out of context -- Dick Cheney said this in the context of questions about gay marriage, in essence defending his lesbian daughter's right to marry whomever she choses. In other words, he disagrees with the President and does NOT support a federal constitional ammendment designed to restrict the rights of certain individuals. I despise Cheney as much as you do, but in this case he said something that actually made sense. And by the way, "The People's Republic of Berkeley" is a long-standing joke in California, particularly amongst Stanford University students...
For the record, I'm a Libertarian, not a Republican, and I didn't vote for Bush. That means I agree with some of the right's ideas on personal responsibility and fiscal conservative, while at the same time agreeing with leftist views about personal freedom. The political spectrum isn't as one-dimensional as most people try to make it.
Yes, you need empty cars moving around all the time. The rail itself can be used as storage; just keep all the extra cars in motion. You should pretty quickly develop a feel for daily commutes and be able to predict approximately how many cars are needed to get everybody home at 5:00. Yeah, special events like concerts, sporting events, or new years eve will probably cause backlogs due to their unpredictability.
It's no longer called "UC Berkeley". Haven't you heard? The students have decided to change the name of the institution to "The People's Republic of Berkeley."

Now I know why the Vatican scheduled the Pope's funeral on friday... that should shake up those South Americans!

I'm switching back to Windows XP! Heck, Windows won't even allow users the choice of using all these insecure file systems! Now that is security!

Canada is obviously delaying putting people into space until after they develop a reliable method for brewing beer in zero gravity...
Seriously, put down Half-Life 2 for five minutes and read a book.

Not quite the shortest path problem because velocity is not constant.

Slashdot teenagers would do this too, but only if their route had good WiFi coverage...

Wouldn't a tail be much more effective than a gluteous maximus for maintaining balance while running? It works pretty well for cheetahs...
