Thing is you have to be really careful if you are planning to stand out.
They may not give the reason of firing you for green hair but if you slip on anything else, i.e surfing the web on work time or sending a personal email or making a minor mistake they may use that as an excuse instead.
I think with regards to tattoos, if you mention you got them in the military people have more of a tendency to let it go as it is somewhat a part of the culture. I worked as a contractor for the Canadian Military and the people I worked with who were at one time members were more likely than not to have tattoos.
Ah that's different. And that is a valid point. The one (but not the only) thing I hate about Windows is if you have two partitions with the OS on C: which is the first partition and another partition and then you delete the first partition. When you go to install Windows again it will expect the existing partition to be C: and will assign the recreated as D: It would have been nice if you could have assigned drive letters during install.
My second biggest pet peeve is people who park next to my car really tight as I have a two door and the doors are bigger. The worst one is that to avoid this issue, I will park near the back where nobody has parked and then someone will come along and park right next to me when there is a huge amount of space.
Course for the real jerks who leave you 3 inches and you know they do it intentionally, I have steel toes in my shoes and they leave a nice dent in the side of the car.
Another thing that bugs me is these expectant mother parking. Why should prime parking go to some tart who chose to get knocked up? My sister-in-law hates them too as she is single and figures she probably could use a closer space when lugging something from the mall to her car. Been tempted to park in the spots just because. They can't enforce it like handicapped (which is more than deserving of their spots and there should be more of them)./Sorry for the rant.
Pretty much any employer in downtown Ottawa, Canada and probably any place in a city core where real estate is at a premium. You are looking around $120 a month for parking here.
Also why is it the parking meter enforcement's fault that you waited to the absolute last minute to finally go down and pay the meter and didn't make it in time? The second after the expired flag comes up you are parked without paying. It's black and white./no I don't work for them and yes I have gotten tagged for it a couple of times but I knew I was in the wrong.
When I installed Gentoo on my laptop, I used it instead of the LiveCD. This way I could browse the internet while waiting for things to finish compiling.
Most times your Windows partition is at the beginning of the disk thus considered hda1. Usually resizing would be shrinking the partition and putting Linux after it which would make your / etc be hda2, etc.
The only way in your explanation that Windows would move from hda4 to hda1 is if you deleted the first 3 partions and then moved the Windows partition to the beginning of the drive and recreated the rest. Plus most often you never see a hda4 but instead a hda5 etc as they are logical partitions.
Point is that you would never see these results if all you do is resize, the whole partition numbers changing would only happen if you resized and created partitions in between.
He said that he had to do a repair. This potentially copies files off of the original cd. If he hasn't slipstreamed the latest Service Pack into his cd, it could put on old files that were patched later on. Thus needing to reapply the latest Service pack to get the latest files back.
Not even filesharing is listening. It takes all the fun out of connecting to open Access Points in my apartment building and seeing what naughty pictures they have
Damn! Mine is Marlene Caterall (Liberal and Martin's lapdog). A hopeless git. Next election I will be voting for anyone other than her anyways. Probably will write something just because.
Are you trolling? I've had my Dell 700M for almost a year, and it is a Centrino/1200x800 Not intentionally. But look for any standard resolution centrino based laptop. I wasn't really interested in Widescreen but was looking for 1280x1024 resolution like an old IBM A31 I had prior but with a Pentium M and wifi. Everything I saw was 1024x768.
I guess I should have said "Unless you go widescreen" at the beginning of that sentence.
Actually, I had a really good experience with Future Shop. I bought one of their $179 Xboxes which was essentially a floor model with the normal manufacturer warranty. About 35 days in, I found out about the class action suit against MS for flaky dvd readers in their Xboxes and I was having similar symptoms on mine. I went into Future Shop with mine and they replaced it with a new one and let me get the extended warranty but set the date back to start to the day I had bought the XBox. The warranty didn't really surprise me as it meant more money for them but the fact that they took the XBox back without a hesitation made me a little happier.
Future Shop seems to have changed a bit as I used to work for Business Depot in my youth and they had a horrible name.
Although I have to say I probably wouldn't get the extended waranty unless I know there is an underlying issue (i.e my ipod with the potential 18 month limit on the battery)
Thing most people don't realize about the Centrino is that although the features are Pentium M processor, Wifi builtin and power savings, the way they go about saving power is by usually limiting the size and resolution of the screen and removing peripherals i.e you need to swap the cdrom with the floppy. However if you are finding that you are using the floppy drive less and less and can live with lower resolution on a smaller screen then the Centrino is a good idea.
White box are great for building at home but I found when I was working for the Cdn govt that 2nd tier manuf (i.e Northern Micro, etc) they were the most annoying machines. The components were good as a typical home built PC but the componentry were not consistent. I would see one model number but up to 5 different motherboards inside, different soundcards, nics etc. You would apply a ghost image and when you brought the machine up at best you would get a prompt for drivers or at worst a BSOD. You get real familiar with OEMPNPDriverPath and Sysprep in these situations.
With Compaq, HP, IBM and Dell there was a lot less of this seen as the hardware would usually be consistent.
But they all seemed to stay with the same naming standard so you may see two Evo desktops with one being a couple years older and having a 600MHz compared to the machine in the next cube that is latest and greatest.
the lower end laptops I see nowadays have 15.4" widescreens with 1280x800 resolution. Have you looked at any of the Centrino laptops? They are all limited to 1024x768 resolution. I have never heard of a reason for this but I assume it is for power saving.
Myself, I picked up a refurbed Compaq R3000 which is a big widescreen with 1280x800. I would have rather got something a smidge smaller as it is the biggest (modern) laptop I have seen in person as of now (barring the huge Dell one they announced earlier this year).
I read the dead tree version on Tuesday and was not that impressed. There was no technical merit in how they caught them (except for the tap) basically they got an informer on the inside and got a tap on their website.
However I can see the Xbox 360 including an "enhancement" that will allow web surfing. You buy the keyboard and mouse adapter and the cd which updates the OS... hmm maybe I should patent that...
AMD is not a small company as they may seem to be the underdog but they aren't. Granted they make a buttload off of their processors but even before they started making processor clones they have been making other chips i.e memory etc.
Not sure how much exactly they make off of their chips but if they stopped selling processors tomorrow they would still be in business for a long time.

They are root, which is about two orders of magnitude more powerful than any god or pantheon of your choice.
But they are replacable which makes them gods but only in their minds.
Actually, I preferred getting paid monthly. When my last contract was cut I had about two months of pay extra to live off of.
Of course this shows that I don't have a nest egg but it is hard to do it as single income without becoming a miser.

Course this is assuming you have a copy of either XP SP2 or Windows 2003 to make it

I found the same thing with Gentoo as well.

I think if you open the ntuser.dat file in the All Users folder by using "Load Hive" in regedit. It may work. (No idea haven't tried)
