Yeah. Pretty much THIS...

This was pulled on me last week. Apparently, my email about understaffing didn't go over too well, and it was assumed that the network was incorrectly configured. The funny thing was, it had NOTHING to do with anything but normal network issues, and for the most part had more to do with getting everyone's itch scratched concerning more mundane issues like laptop battery replacements and toner.

Management simply does not grok what I do (everything from A+ level to VMware), and with a tripling of students in the last three years, things have gotten out of hand. So the 'network audit' told them nothing but that we had 'a leg up' on most schools and that I could use some help... Heh.

From the article: "an eight-bit central processing unit to command electromagnetic actuators..."

The 6502. Is there anything it can't do?

Awesome! So in other words, all someone has to do is upload a music file to an opposition's candidate's site and get them shut down? When they pass SOPA in the U.S., I'd love to see some of this go down - imagine the sites that could be shut down... Yeah, those pro-SOPA too. ;)

I see a fire down the road
Burnin' out of control and I'm like,
Forget you... /Pity the fool that supercomputes with you...

Yes, that's what we need. A audience-driven science fiction channel. I would gladly pay a monthly fee to get quality programming, in particular, wouldn't it be nice to have something like Firefly again?

The thing is, SF shows are EXPENSIVE and have a limited audience. My guess is that the only way we're going to get what we want is if we pay as we go. After all, it's not like we have much of a choice nowadays.

...will be an iPhone 5...

...if the Floyd decided to release their albums... As ONE track? Ahahahaha!

I think Oblivion could've even been better if it had had coop mode. My friend and I actually explored places together, playing parallel to each other. It would've been a LOT more fun if we could have been in the same world together. Just because you have multiplayer, doesn't mean it has to mean deathmatch.

Get creative!

They may be laughing now, but who knows what's coming next? Imagine the stuff they could have on Russia, or China! The truth is, no one knows, but it's telling that the Russian government is becoming concerned.

Pirating? Oh please! No one has stolen anything. COPIED, perhaps...

At what point does common sense enter into this? We're talking about abandoned items here, not heading into Border's and making copies of Glen Beck's Christmas Sweater...

Is this all about semantics? I mean, Project G is very clear about this: If a copyright holder makes a claim, they take the material down. I would think putting this stuff out there, rather than letting it rot is hardly a disservice to the authors/publishers.

Who cares about the human cost as long as we can continue to get cheap electronics, right?
