Autozone doesn't lend out their scanners anymore. (not in the bay area anyway) They gave me this bullshit line about, "we are prohibited by law to give any advice on car diagnostics." I know that doesn't have anything to do with renting out a scanner, but I wasn't in the mood to hear anymore bullshit from them so I didn't even bother to question them about their questionable reasoning.
Since I don't use any advanced features offered by the webmail services, it's the most basic operations that make a difference to me. It's easier to file stuff where I need to, easier to open separate windows/tabs of individual emails (I can't/don't know how to do that in gmail), I don't do tagging or searching; just real basic stuff needed here. Anything more is waaay too slow for me over the internet. I just don't get that much email, except for the corporate or junk spam which I try to direct to hotmail (they need it).:-)
You're correct about yahoo's sluggishness. It's something that has cropped up in the last year or two and it sometimes irritates me. Since I don't use much of the features available, the advanced stuff doesn't factor into my experience of webmail.
I work for Google. Sorry, but your post is misinformed.
...As far as I've seen, all the contractors, interns, etc. get the same access to the cafes and microkitchens as everyone else.
I work for google too, sorry, but your post is incorrect. I'm a contractor on a project that has severely limited its temps to access outside of our building. We can't go to any of the cafes, gym, participate in _any_ company wide events, or even have access to the company network. And if we tried, we'll get fired. We've been told this many times.
I do know one person who was a contractor before he became full-time, but this certainly isn't the norm.
Funny thing, alot of the permanent people that I know of, were temps before they became permanent. They had red badges for at least 6 months before they got their white badge. Just so you know.
Did you also make the claim that W95 was one of the most stable OS's around if it weren't for the shitty drivers from 3rd party manufacturers?
And what makes W2K so much better than Linux with KDE or Gnome? W2k may be stable (relative to other MS products) but MOST STABLE GUI it is NOT.
BTW, it is definitely too little, too late. If they've been working so hard on security issues, why do they NEED to take a month off to address security issues?
I'm about to graduate from SJSU as an EE, and all of the CompE students paint an ugly picture of the department. The classes are overcrowded, the instructors suck, and lots of the students suck as well. Although I have to admit, in terms of the college of engineering, there are more girls in CompE than in all of the other engineering majors combined, and pretty cute too.
They don't seem to have enough classes, and in some of my EE classes, I find lots of CompE majors. One guy was telling me that they look at the EE professors as really good and extremely competent. That is not the case, and I can't imagine what the typical CompE professor is like.
I was in one class that was being taught by one of the worst professors in the dept, and this CompE major told me that the prof would rate as one of the better intructors in the CompE dept. Oh gawd, don't do it at SJSU, Berkeley has got to be much better for compe/comp sci. Good luck.

Sounds good, but that is only at "steady state" operation. Don't forget about the effects of thermal cycling, where the circuit heats up and cools down when you turn the computer on and off. This causes the metal bonding wires, and other parts to expand and contract. Some people theorize that this may eventually cause metal fatigue, especially if you're running hot.
There are actually many more things going on inside, but those are the most significant effects occuring on the chip. Much is heat related as that is the most significant factor in determining the life and operation of the chip. If your environmental temperature goes up, (hot day)the the effects of thermal cycling or even thermal effects will be much more pronounced. Sometimes your chip's temperature will even exceed the design's maximum temperature, which will bring on undefined (unknown, usually lockup) behavior.
Having said all of that, I think it is a good idea to stress test the chip, if only to find out whether or not that one chip will work when overclocked. Remember, the manufacturer specified a speed rating for a reason, that is they expect the chip to perform as advertised at that speed. Any faster, and you're really on your own. Doesn't really hurt to test it out anyway.
Funny thing is,... I met someone who thought that Linux was a GUI only type of OS. He thought of it as the latest fad techie thing. He didn't have time to get into it though.

There is a right way to do things and a hackish way. I wonder which one is which
You left out the third alternative. There's the LINUX way to do things.

That's funny. Steve Jobs never listens to people who bitch. You'll have to come up with a better troll than that to defend Jobs.

Considering Microsoft just licensed ARM you might be surrised.
Yeah, I would be surprised at how lame a 2 GHz ARM can run under windows. Under Linux, that's a different story.
So does emacs, but then the op asked for a decent development environment, not an operating system.

I really don't like google's webmail client. I much prefer yahoo mail. And Hot(spam)mail is my least favorite.
You'll get there quicker if you use the warp engines. :-)
