Ah, you missed my little jab at you...I noticed that it's likely that you are either living in Germany, or a German citizen, and then I realized that the BEST SUV's are made in Germany. Ironic, no?
Anyway, I hate SUV's too. I like little tiny cars more, and I can't see around the damn tanks when I'm behind them.
Correction: Russian Babushka's collecting radioactive mushrooms to sell at market.
That definitely does not rock. Your other point is well taken though. Tell me, which do you think is better: The BMW X5, the Mercedes ML320, or the not-yet-released Porsche Cayenne? Thanks.

Something else not considered. In your oven a relatively small amount of the water is going to boil off the chicken. In the Lava, a large amount of water is going to boil, especially from the wet bannana leaves.
All that boiling water is known as steam and steam carries a lot of energy. So much energy in fact that it can drive a steam locomotive. Anyway, the escape of steam is what's carrying away all that extra heat from the cooking bird.
This would be perfect with the Big microwave tower bunkers mentioned last night. If there was one of these in microwave towers across the country we could build our own national wireless network.
Damn straight. I would never, ever, invite a klansman over to my house, just so he could yell hatred out of my windows. Why then should I have to allow him to yell hatred out of my TCP ports?
Same goes for anyone that I personally have a dislike for, and that could be trivial. If I don't think that people should part their hair on the left, then I'm not going to let them on my server.
After all, it's my server, and I pay for the bandwidth myself.

Thank you for not using the words "productize", "big picture", "methodology", "consumers", "leverage", "methodology", or "proactive" in your description of what your company does. I could actually understand every word of what you wrote.
In my hypthetical town known as FormerlyFreedonia, we just bought a voting system from Enron Voting Systems, Inc. The system is perfectly polite, but I can't help this nagging feeling that it's snickering behind my back. I've given this Enron Voting machine the benefit of the doubt, because I can't imagine why it would not be perfectly honest. Should I be worried?
I'm a code monkey now and forever more because I don't want the headaches that management has to deal with on a daily basis.
I think that at least half of the rift between programmers and management is that we are suspicious of anyone who would rather deal with the headaches of management more than the quirks of a compiler.
Don't forget to have them write a report. It's one thing to show them something cool, but it's much better to show them something cool, have everyone figure out what it is, then write exactly what happened and why it's cool in a coherent form. That kind of writing is not exactly the same thing they'll learn in English class.
I'm happy with the 5 years too. I just wish they'd finish Crusade. I don't care if it's on the screen or ink on a page - I just want to know how they beat the Drakh plague!
I was a die hard lpd user for many years, but last week I tried out pdq and had my printer working perfectly (both text and Postscript) in less than 5 minutes. Use xpdq to do the configuration.
I bought two 80 gig drives, and they are in two separate computers. Everything that I value is under my home dir. I use unison to keep the filesystems synchronized over the network, and with my laptop. These drives were purchased specifically so I could setup this backup procedure.
Ironically, when I installed one of the 80 gig drives, I screwed up and lost all my stuff. Every last byte, except for the super important stuff. That means that my pr0n, mp3's, all the stuff except for the code I wrote and my website was gone.
So, before you install these drives, make a backup in case you screw up.
Everything has a high level of brightness on the Moon. Next time you look at the moon, realize that it is very dark. If you were looking at it under normal room light, it would be the color of a slate blackboard.

Mod that up. We need a new acronym for the process of copying a file from one directory on your server to another directory on your server.
Henceforth, the operation formerly known as:
cp foo ~otheruser
will be known as STTSFS, or server-to-the-same-fucking-server

Having a TiVo was the main reason why it was great to watch. I'd watch the fights and only the fights, whole thing done in 10 minutes.

Dear Ms. Manners,
In my hypthetical town known as FormerlyFreedonia, we just bought a voting system from Enron Voting Systems, Inc. The system is perfectly polite, but I can't help this nagging feeling that it's snickering behind my back. I've given this Enron Voting machine the benefit of the doubt, because I can't imagine why it would not be perfectly honest. Should I be worried?

Get a webserver and the Python code on my site (see my homepage). It doesn't let the reader leave any comments, but that's the way it should be.

Actually the Civic EX has 125 HP and redlines at 7100 rpm. I agree about the wings. My Civic is plain old stock.

I'd do a lot of open source software. Work isn't really good unless it's fun.

Also good to point out that a Marine Harrier puts out a hella lot of thrust, and it doesn't dig craters in the ground.
