Hmm, if you look at the MS jobs web site, you'll see that they have more than ten thousand open positions - so clearly people *don't* want to work there. My guess is that a fair bunch of MS employees do so *only* to keep a shirt on their backs and not for the love of the job or the company.
Hmm, solar panels are basically light frequency converters. They take light at a blue colour and convert it to electricity, which is then mostly converted to infrared and radiated to space in a different location. So, what will happen is that photo-voltaic cells in a desert will make the desert slightly colder and the urban area where it is used a little bit warmer.
Solar energy isn't polution free - it just doesn't add to the horrible high energy radiation coming from that great big fusion plant in the sky. Go and sit outside for a couple hours over midday and see what the sun does to you. If someone was to invent the sun today, he would be sued up the wazoo for causing cancer and other problems...
Why are Mac users such a negative, sour puss, bunch of sad sacks?
At least, that is the impression one gets from reading Sloshdat. Whenever some people release a new software tool for the Mac, there are ten thousand sad sacks that shoot it down for no good reason.
The passwd file stores hashes of the passwords. There is nothing sinister about reading the passwd file in order to do authentication - how the hell else must you do it?
I think this should make it clear that if you wish your code to be free, then half measures won't work. The GPL has been tested in court numerous times. Use it or lose it...
Hmm, it also wasted at least two hours of my time when I tried to install a new system and activation would not work. I traced through countless routers before I finally figured that it must Microsoft that is a fault and not our firewalls - so I installed a hack. Thank god for The Pirate Bay...
Shocked about HW support? Linux runs on anything from itsy-bitsy ARM processors to massively parallel super computers and you are shocked about hardware support - sigh...
Well, dammit, it won't run on my abacus! Linoox sucks...
Also, Canada has the concept of 'equity', which the US doesn't. This basically means that what is good for the goose is good for the gander and that makes any heavy one-sided contract clause unenforceable.
Keep it low tech. You can give her a very bright laser pointer (or a telescopic antenna pointer if she is too shaky for a laser) with a wrist strap. A white board on the wall or tri-pod, with some markers so you and others can write common requests/demands/answers on it. A hospital may already have a printed wall chart exactly for this purpose.

Well, if the vaccine kill the patients, then I suppose that can be called a 'cure' in some perverted way.
I'm not afraid of death. I have been dead for billions of years before I was born.
Actually, MS had to slow down the PCs, to prevent them from overwhelming the WGA servers and the reporting system they set up for Hollywood... ;)

The WinXP Synctoy is excellent. Otherwise, you need CVS to allow you to merge changes!

You dig out that old 75 baud modem. It is fast enough for typing with one finger.

Good grief, why would Sox get involved with DRM? Maybe to add some echo?

I really like that skull and cross-bones icon.
It is a good thing the Linux mascot is a penguin and not a rabbit, or we would have had Elmer Fud singing 'Kill the Wabbit!'
A red hot beach - not quite enough peroxide it seems.
Hey, where is my virtual fluffy dashboard and virtual coffee can conversion?
Well, it is only fun till someone gets hurt and then it is hilarious...
They should test the outflow from the Whitehouse and Capitol...
If this poor sod used DHCP then one could argue that he asked and was granted permission to join: Request -> Offer -> Accept is valid contract.
It is different if he had to actively sniff the network in order to figure out how to join.
Great - just what America needs - more overqualified people working in the fast food industry...
Skype should blame the idiot that decided to run mission critical software on MS systems...
