Germans.

I prefer to call it I95. :) Just the stretch through Burlington, MA -- look at all of the marquees on the buildings, it's pretty impressive. However, commuting there from where I lived (Swampscott) would've been an exercise in road rage.

Is the mall there still Menlo Park mall?

Is that legacy app a command and control server for a bot net?

You're a fake. Your Slashdot number is too high. Get back to homeroom.

When we moved into our new building back in 2003, we went to 100MB Ethernet -- manually set. So when a machine got hooked up to the switch and was set to auto negotiate, it would negotiate itself to 100/half and the switch port would be at 100/full. Stupid. It took a few years of my haranguing them and they finally made it standard that the switches and computers (on the user segments, not the DC segments) would be auto negotiate.

Actually, I'm talking about the 686 prototypes, with the artificial intelligence RISC chip.

Now THAT is an act of war.

And Mussolini made the trains run on time. But at what cost?

Explain that directors and film editors ALWAYS put Easter Eggs in those scenes. Also swap(1,6)

Can't have a discussion about the German language without referencing Mark Twain's The Awful German Language: https://www.cs.utah.edu/~gback...

Couple of questions (because I'm interested) - how long did it take to complete your teardown/rebuild? as an engineer, did you over engineer your house? What I mean by that, did you do anything special? 10' ceiling in the basement, no lolly columns, etc.

I live in Munich, Germany now and the cost to OWN a home here is ridiculous. Then again, Germans tend to rent -- a statistic is saw had ~36% of Germans owning their own home while in the US it's ~65%. My rent is reasonable for what I have compared to where I moved from (Boston area). However, home prices are quite a bit higher. AND Munich is going through a hell of a housing boom -- they're building like mad.

They have these things called bicycles that you could ride to work.

Only one of two actors whose characters were killed by Terminator, the Alien, and the Predator. That's something, no?
