Actually you may be more right than you realize. Those with four-wheel-drive vehicles (that actually leave the pavement) know that sometimes after getting stuck, you can move the steering wheel from side to side as a way of trying to gain traction from the sides of the rut you're in.
Perhaps NASA could learn a thing or two from rednecks in 4x4 pickup trucks? *smile*

Not really necessary:
FTFA: "I do my Internet browsing from a locked down VMWare box that has no rights on my network."
All that he needs to do is revert to a previously known-good vmware image.
Instead of bottled oxygen, you would be better of with elaborate air filtering technology. I wonder if any HVAC filters (say 3m's top of the line furnace filter) would suffice?
All hard drives, working or not, are stored for 2 years. After that they are smashed to tiny bits, forwarded to a member of senior management for verification, and then disposed of. I guess I wouldn't be surprised if most companies did not do this.
Way to go Microsoft. Cashing in by making your Service Pack bluescreen computers, resulting in lots of incidents. $245 a pop, and they can resolve them all by just telling the person "Reinstall Windows and don't run the Service Pack"...
Except that the license fees are repetitive, so moving to Linux now saves money every year. Compare to one-time costs of rewriting some apps, training some old dogs (IMHO, few will really need formal ($$) training to run Linux at the level they run windows).
If you break even, like in 3 years, is it still worth it?
Child support may be a special circumstance since its the government you owe the money back to. Kind of like how student loans are still owed after bankruptcy.
He isn't talking about SuSE, even though he may think he is. I believe he is talking about Novell Linux Enterprise Server, formerly known as SuSE Linux Enterprise Server.
However, I don't know why NLES would include a YaST module for OpenLDAP, when Novell sells its own directory service called eDirectory.
I'm just saying that the three strikes rule is more or less an admission that the penal system sucks.
I mean, it's like, if a person gets out of prison and goes right back to a life of crime. Even though it is still his/her fault, and he/she still has to pay the penalty...it is also safe to say that the penal system failed in that instance.
You're right, and while we keep putting criminals in a prison system where all they learn is how to be better criminals, I guess we can keep being surprised when they get out and reoffend.
Many of us in the U.S. are opposed to the "three strikes" rule. Typically, a person convicted of a violent crime for the 3rd time, gets life. And it's not uncommon that those on their 3rd chance will go to drastic measures (up to and including murder) to prevent themselves from being caught again.

You didn't know GMT and PST were off 8 hours and 1 second?
Off-topic. But do you pay your employees for thinking about work while not at work?
Well, if you're stuck because your body/ground clearance isn't enough, rather than a lack of wheel traction,...then yes you will dig the hole deeper.
they have to do more than the minimum.
And how many pieces of flare are you wearing?
Couldn't we just send a Hummer next time?
Just make sure that it isn't a Hummer H2...those things can break a tierod on anything. *duck*

[i]"Computer Science is to programming as mechanical engineering is to operating a drill press"[/i]
;)
I've also heard this stated as, "Computers are to computer science what telescopes are to astronomy".
[i]Too many people think of a BS in Comp Sci as a degree in programming.[/i]
Too many colleges think they can throw a bunch of programming classes together and call it Computer Science.

Hell, why even have time zones? We can't we all simply run on GMT?
It's not made into a stylish visor.
How do we expect Star Trek to hold any weight if we do an end run around the technology!

What a crock.
Besides how exactly do you "settle" a criminal case?
Plea bargain.

I think you just answered your own question.
Could these be adapted for slow (modem speed) wifi?
That was my lame attempt as humor. The quote is from a movie. Extra points for naming that movie.
Lexus, thats like a Toyota.

You mean in 707 days you haven't performed one kernel upgrade, or patch?... Boss ;)
