Or, do people just create SSH or remote-shell scripts to do this?"

Was a free Xbox gold game. It is awesome. I'm an over 50 kernel hack and bought the Xbox 2 years ago for 2 boys. I only played this game to see if it would be appropriate for them and ended up getting hooked. They don't like it.

Not sure if anyone already mentioned this but my take is it is NOT how fast the project compiles but rather the performance of the executable. If one is building race cars it's not how fast they come off the assembly line, it's how fast the cars go on the track.

Anonymous Crowbar (692255) writes "The slides were meant to be declassified in 2036. OOPS!

Classified information obtained by the Washington Post and The Guardian has revealed a massive, warrantless online surveillance system in use by a US military intelligence agency, giving access to Americans' search history, emails, live chats and more.

The 41-page PowerPoint presentation, which has been verified by both papers and published almost concurrently on Thursday evening, outlines details of a previously undisclosed program known as PRISM, which allows the fabled military intelligence agency to harvest massive amounts of data on everything from electronic correspondence to file transfers."

A number of us where I work are cube dwellers. The good thing about most modular cube systems is the table rails run from floor to the top. It takes about 15- 30 minutes to convert a standard desk high cube to be an elbow high one. Will need a screwdriver & a hammer.
