the wii...wouldnt it be cheaper and more fun to get off your ass, pick up a golf club and hit a few balls?
the wii, at the risk of a trollmod, seems like a toy for fat lazy kids. they sell an accessory wiifit waterbottle that, lets not pretend, likely sees more mountain dew than water in the average home.
for those who already have a wii, try my new "total reality" game where you buy a tennis racket and some balls. its perfectly acceptable to hit the courts dressed as mario or luigi however princess peach is firmly restricted to female players.
peanuts and circuses. both are directed in a very metered and concerted manner, so if flash benefits all parties in the P&C industry it will become standard...
this gives also adobe content managers a medium by which their flash cannot be blocked. Flash means rendering and encoding the fast motion graphics the human eye pays the most attention to is now offloaded to the consumer instead of a rendering division at the television station.
expect it to pop up during the superbowl and offer pizzas, cars, music and other items you'd enjoy at the circus.. it serves to enhance the circus, not supplant and overtake it.
considering purchasing sun blades and hardware if the company is now owned by oracle? what does that mean??
more importantly, does this mean the purchasing guy is going to foam at the mouth when looking at the orders for Oracle and the orders for Sun?
of my co-op at a refinery. there was an entire block of the plant that just sat idle, did nothing, and smelled horrible. my boss told me it was an old coal-tar extraction plant designed to extract the oil from coal circa 1980. it never panned out to anything more than $4 a gallon gas in 1980, and was scrapped conveniently keeping the federal funds injected to bring it to fruition.
they had also tried "steam assisted flares" to reduce ozone depleting emissions around that time...which of course made the smoke go away but not the pollutants. federal funding firmly in hand.
clean coal through carbon sequestering is just one more of these technologies energy companies push when an administration critical of fossil fuel shows up, and cant be bought.
bundling the operating system? thats what it sounds like if the OS is a requirement....bad move on the part of redmond to make this mandatory in a recession.
this is the part where customers ask the question: if linux users dont have to install a new OS to get the latest mailserver/groupware...why the hell do i???
continue to happen. personally, i was suspended 3 days in highschool for having the audacity to remotely log into my home pc and download my homework under the guise of "hacking with unix."
ive been stopped in the laguardia intl. airport for booting a laptop that only posted a command prompt, ordered to produce "the start button" and when i couldnt i was detained for 20 minutes for a nice chat with the TSA.

i guess on the bright side, im finally pretty cool now:)
are likely calculated as loss based on the potential for gains or sales...which is a calculation that is mostly speculation and often used by businesses to inflate their urgency during an outage (ex: losing 1 billion dollars an hour.)
am glad it wasnt the "i, you, we are linux" ad...
that one had me terrified that linux would inevitably pick up a phased plasma rifle in the 50 watt range and...well....try and find Sarah Connor.
students who play video games, students who watch too much tv, students who eat junkfood, students who do drugs, students who stay up too late, students who listen to heavy metal...
i question not the correlation between facebook and GPA, but the correlation between GPA and overall intelligence.
but could it be possible that for once, we're not under constant attack from enemy nations and have nothing to really fear? the last time we cringed in terror at another country as a pretext for invasion, it turned out they were guilty of a lot less than we originally conjectured.
if china were hacking into our powerplants and infrastructure, what purpose would it seriously serve? china manufactures a bulk of american goods, and holds a bulk of american debt. we are an economic interest, so one could argue harm to us is harm to china.
but i always wonder how they do these geographically isolated site changes... if its geoip it depends greatly on the database, but then again im certain the government would be more than willing to hand over a listing of subnets theyd like to see restricted to youtube.
governments certainly make running a massive media service like youtube ludicrously difficult for admins. i cant imagine keeping a cluster strictly for china, and another strictly for korea, while my global cluster cant have any access to either and vice versa.
dont misconstrue the comment to mean i endorse the censorship, im quite against it. I am however in awe of youtube and google engineers when it comes to bending to the social will of governments who insist crazy things like, say, 100% logging of everything however camp X-Ray must be censored out of any maps.
105 degree forge, 10 feet from an induction furnace, 120 DB background noise and im required to wear a respirator, earplugs, and fire-retardant clothing
while working on a machine with windows xp at 256meg ram...keeping an eye out for forklift traffic.
or this one: 40ft off the ground replacing an old IBM 10 port 10mb hub thats been duct taped to an i-beam in a foundry. balancing a laptop on a drainpipe and the railing of a manlift at full boom extension and cleaning up vlan configs on the replacement 10 year old ibm switch.
we forgot to call it a cloud, and put it in a grid configuration after we service oriented it to leverage our core concepts. obviously all the packets will fall out of it.
the simple fact that most telco's, and cable providers are unscrupulous monopolies. the government has essentially granted them a stranglehold over
communications systems with little or no regulation. Will the us government, which has long since outsourced their portion of the internet network to the telcos,
also be a part of these bandwidth caps?
these are the same industries that charge access for the GPS receiver already built into your phone or disable its features outright, cant tell the difference between a tenth of a dollar and a tenth of a
cent, and receive historical immunity from warrantless wiretaps.
ive been able to roll over a flashdrive with my car, wash, and bake a flashdrive in the process of doing laundry, and its never failed...however ive had one on my desk for a month that failed like a whale for no good (read:user abusing it as normal) reason. blaming gremlins, jeebus, and FSM until a solution abounds.

of ted stevens, unfortunately the complexity of the tubes seem unnavigable at this time.
not to mention evil robots from the future attempting pre-infanticide so as to secure a victory in a hellish future apocalypse.
...yes, but, does it work with java?
I tried to visit redhat.com and a chair shot out the back of my machine!
