The nasty elves from the Hobbit are the ones that lived Mirkwood where Sauron was rising in power as the Necromancer. My guess is that they were "nasty" because they lived in a harder area (Shelob's children everywhere), and Sauron's evil started creeping into their hearts. They didn't have an Elrond or Galedriel with rings of power to keep them safe. If Sauron had been allowed to stay in Mirkwood, and if Bilbo hadn't helped the Mirkwood elves get some of Smaug's treasure, they would likely have turned more evil, and Legolas would not have joined the Fellowship.

Sadness 3:
Assuming that a virus caused a corrupt or missing file is bad tech work, your supposed to suspect not conclude, run a diagnostic and verify. These guys lied and stated that the person had viruses, trojans and spyware.
Having worked as a desktop tech: Positively ID'ing a virus/spyware infection as the culprit in system file corruption/deletion when the filesystem is okay, and the HDD has no physical problems is GOOD PRACTICE. To verify fully is either impossible or insanely difficult, and the machine needs repaired anyway. Reinstalling one version of Windows over a previous version while retaining fiesystem data often _causes_ harm to semi-working systems. You're _almost_always_ better off being cautious, backing up the data, reformatting and starting from scratch. It takes little if no more time, and you'll be _sure_ that there's no nasty software there (MS Windows not included).
If you knew what you were talking about you would have known that opensuse 10.3 doesn't even have ZMD, not turned on, not included by default, not installed.
GGP was talking about opensuse 10.1, not 10.3. Please read more fully before reacting.
Besides that.exe files are PE executables, wine uses them just fine, so does mono. Do you refain from using Wine out of some fear of PE executables? DO you even know what a PE executable is?
Actually, I don't know what a PE executable is, but it's irrelevant to the discussion since zmd.exe runs via mono by default (on opensuse 10.1, 10.2, SLED 10). That extra interpretation eats up my CPU(s). Only thing worse would have been if they wrote their daemon in lisp or perl.
Not out of the box. With Opensuse 10.2, I still have to wait for timeouts when I want to install something from one repo while others might be unavailable, or remove a repo that's been shut down.
Parent is not a Troll. zmd.exe (the default updater) is a mono app, and is prone to hanging. I've had to kill zmd and restart novell-zmd several times to get updates to work whenever I notice that a cron-run update is still in the process list 8-10 hours later.
he sales people also make sure to tell you that you will not notice a change when you plug it in, it takes a few weeks for the capacitors and electronics in your equipment to re-learn how to run with clean power.
Heh. That line comes from snake-oil days when the saleman would be long gone after two weeks. Strange that it still works.
putting officers on duty to confiscate shopping carts from the homeless
Just wanted to point out that those shopping carts are almost always stolen property.
You're hitting mid-life. Don't you need a faster, more stable, younger Internet with HUGE... bandwidth? Try Internet2, just enroll at a major U.S. university near you.
*Internet2 may be restricted to Internet bandwidth when attempting to access Internet sites. Internet2 might be monitored by the FBI, the CIA, the NSA, and the RIAA. Do not injest Internet2. If skin comes into contact with Internet2, rinse thoroughly, then apply a cold compress. If your Internet2 uptime lasts longer than four hours, consult your doctor.
medical equipment doesn't measure time like a clock. It is a countdown/count-up system: Deliver medication X over three hours, means set the timer for 3 hours, and let it go. More likely would be the medical personnel's desktops needing to keep appropriate time (to meet with Dr. Foo via phone about Y)
Don't remember if I've tried it with Windows, but for most windows programs that nag for registration you just tell it you'll register by snail mail, when it asks for a printer tell it to print the registration page to a file, and delete the file at your leisure.
MS was wise to that trick a while back. Unless you've got a corporate license version of XP or Vista, for the OS to _work_ you have to phone Microsoft support and answer some challenge-response questions. Sometimes you have to go through interrogations of why you're reinstalling Windows for the third time in a week, etc.
Most of the companies I've heard that are switching to Suse on desktop or server from MS Windows are doing it because they're still Novell shops, where Novell has been the way of doing things, and MS has been a necessary evil. Now that SLE[S/D] has a lot of built-in Novell goodness, these companies are buying up Suse like crazy. The Novell/MS deal may have triggered minor sales via advertising that Novell has a linux option, but I doubt any serious Novell admins would have been blind to that fact before the deal.
I would guess it will trend toward 99.999% male. What geek-girl that you know of would go through the hassle of letting some anonymous geek-admin see her real face just to have the honor of logging in with a female avatar, then becoming the target of cyber-sexual harassment because the perps _know_ you're female? They'd be better off just removing female avatars.
There is already a similar model being used (bold where diff's occur).
1) Buy stock.
2) SPAM information (maybe stock tip or supposed insider information).
3) Hope some people stupidly buy stock.
4) Wait for the people who think they're crafty enough to profit off the stock SPAM (even though they know it's a scam, they still believe it will go up)
5) Profit!!!
Maybe they'll send a message: "Dear Sir, your credit card number is no longer valid so we've reported you to the following credit agencies..."
Fixed that for you.
Slashdot Mirror
There's a Microsoft Power tool that mimics this behavior on Windows XP. Shouldn't they be suing Microsoft?
MS makes good hardware. For every Zune, they have an MS wheel-mouse, Sidewinder joystick, Xbox, Xbox360. Oops, scratch Xbox360.

I don't know why anyone would film someone using TinTin or TinTin++ to play a MUD, but I suppose someone should document it for historical purposes.

Yes, because that head-jumping thing was just like cheating. You should play a real challenge like Zangeif. Spinning Piledriver!
