You need to learn how to configure windows and you won't have that problem with the Dell. With ACPI the power management is on the OS instead of the bios as it was with APM. Most current Dell's also have a bios option to hibernate after they have been asleep for a fixed length of time.
Now on the other hand, MacOS X is a winner, but some aspects are still a nightmare. I had a mac in an organization I supported suddenly refuse to print after updates were installed. You could print to a PDF from all the aplications and then print the pdf from the command prompt (proving cups and the network were functional). After hours with apple, they finally had me reload the OS to solve it. Now I must say the reinstall functionality on OS X is better than anything I have ever seen, and didn't require me to reinstall or reconfigure one app afterwards, and it solved the problem. But the problem shouldn't have been created by an update in the first place.
I have heard of people getting away with that too. I have always had a strong trust relationship. At my last company I gave 3.5 weeks notice so that they could get a replacment, and I still had access 2 months later...
4) I haven't used the 7.2 standalones, but I know that 6.2 made the DirecTivos much faster. 5) If you are up for it, upgrade the software to USB 2.0 and this isn't much of a problem. Better yet, TiVo needs to upgrade to USB 2.0, if they haven't done so already. I have the HMO/MRV stuff enabled on my DirecTivo with USB 2.0 and it transfers a 1 hour show in about 7 minutes.
You missed the part of the company taking a big bite off of it. It sounds like the consulting job would probably pay 30-50k/year, the same as you just mentioned for a plumber.
If I buy a $50 DVD player at wallmart, the register prompts the clerk to scan the serial number barcode. Last year I had a few clerks look very confused. One said "I don't want to type that" and I pointed out that they could use their barcode scanner.
If they track it, everyone does. Everything I mail order has the barcode scanned and printed on the packing slip.
That's why I used Goodlink. I worked with BES, and Goodlink was far less work to manage and did away with the desktop sync long before RIM did. (back with the Rim 950 and 957 was common and Goodlink used their hardware). Goodlink has been availible on the Treo for quite some time as well.
There is an option to cancel the contract and get a refund on the phone. You just need to have another Verizon phone to activate in the interim.
I believe if you cancel and pay the ETF you are still elligable for the refund. I canceled last month on a loophole without the ETF, and fully expect to get the $200 refund. The form has check boxes for both senarios. If you can afford the wait, dump now, and you will get all the money back when the settlement is complete (which is several months from now). Also, depeneding on when you recieved your August bill, the loophole might still be open (there is a terms of service change notice, and you have 60 days to cancel), although I heard they weren't going to honor it after Oct. 1st.
They will let you out of your contract so that isn't an issue, and the refund is $200 unless you provide a reciept showing you paid more...
How did you get it free? Ne2 conly covers up to $100, and the phone was never that cheap in the time period covered by the lawsuit. I got mine for $150 after mail in rebate on Ne2, and just terminated my contract without a fee on another loop hole. I will be getting a $200 refund on the phone when they finally pay early next year. If I had paid an early term fee, that would also be refunded under the settlement.
We have that too, just with different carriers. The problem is that consumers don't want to pay full price for a phone, and they pratically invited this situtation by always getting the free/reduced price phones. Now the carriers won't activate a full plan without a contract, but there are other choices. You can get an unlocked GSM phone on ebay, and go buy a prepaid sim card. The free market has not prevented this.
In this case there may be a small number of players, but the free market allows you to choose a movie you like at a price you are willing to pay. If they price too high, their sales should drop.
When I am at the store and I see a movie I liked a few years ago for $5, I often buy it. I have to be very interested in a movie to spend $20, and haven't in several years.
DVD's and movies are not something we need, so competition isn't required to set the market price.
It can complete the polar orbit many times within the day, but the equitorial orbit period would be one day. Its total velocity has to be enough to sustain the orbit at the altitude. That velocity just has to have the right directional vector.
Where have you been? You apear to be refering to DirecPC, which to my knowledge didn't last very long.
The now push DirecWay, which is a fully bidirectional system. I have known people with it for at least 3 years now. It still sucks, but the upload speeds are in theory faster than dailup.
The latency makes the connection useless for anything other than web browsing.
I have to say the same thing about an OkiData I am responsible for at work. I have had 3 service calls under its one year warrenty, but the last 6 months have been good. This is a large format color LED printer, so not exactly on the topic of the thread.
As for Inkjets, my understanding is that Lexmark makes most of the Dell printers.
I buy lots of Dell, but I also have a good sales rep and a good volume discount. I can count on their support to be decent when I need it.
My HP Laser Printer died and needed service when it was 5 months old, so all of the printer brands can have problems.
Unfortunately I regularly vistit an area with no CDMA coverage. My Verizon phone goes into Analog (My plan covers this without a roaming charge because it is in state) while my wife's Cingular phone gets a GSM signal. Unfortunately the indoor coverage for both phones in the area is pathetic.
I have to agree with a lot of the Nextel stuff. I would like PTT for some uses, but from what I understand Verizon's sucks, and I don't want to pay. It would be very usefull for quick converstations between vehicles or from the concesion stand to my wife in the stands at sporting events.
You must be lucky then. I have used VzW and Sprint, and the VzW network is consistantly supperior. I have found that network coverage varies regionally.
In my office the only carrier that works is Verizon. Their customer service sucks though, and Sprint's is generally good.
There are aplications where the additional overhead of a VPN client is not desireable. WPA2 does a very good job. I use WPA2 with PAP/TLS authentication to a radius server. If someone wants to break into my corporate network, wireless is probably not going to be there first choice of attack.
Now, at home I have to run WEP. I am running very old AP hardware, and don't have much inclination to upgrade. On the other hand, I keep the machines on my home network resonably secure. The only thing you could really screw with would be my TiVos.
I agree, but the law works more like a sledgehammer than a scalpel making it very hard to target microsoft in the way you describe. There will always be deals struck in attempts to circumvent the law.
Forcing the manufactures to offer the computers without an OS would lead Microsoft to drop the pressure. PC manufactures already offer choices between XP Pro, Media Center and Home Editions, so a no OS choice isn't going to burden them.
Try the Dell 2001FP (I know, 20", but comparable to the viewable area on the CRT). It is normally $749, but can be had for aproximatly $500 on promotions quite often. It displays 1600x1200 native.
One that is popular at my office is the Dell 2005FPW, a 20" wide screen. It displays 1680x1050.
Tracing bullets isn't as east as many gun control advocates make it out to be. It also would also require every gun sold to be registered, which history tells us often leads to government confiscation. The British did this leading up to the American Revolutionary War. California has done this on certain classes of weapons in more recent history.
Over years of use the markings left by a gun can change. The system of tying bullets to a gun already in custody works well, because it's typically done within a short timeframe of the crime.
This is why I want a political party that will let me keep my guns and money without forcing religion into government. The Libertarians are close, but I am not fond of their foreign policy.
It is wasn't even one of the ceramic tiles that caused the last shuttle to disintegrate (it didn't explode), but a reinforced carbon-carbon panel which is much larger than the tiles. Chances are that the tile poses very little if any risk, but I would certainly want the engineers at NASA to make sure this tile isn't going to be more critical than tiles lost in the past (which has happened on most missions).
As for the bird, it only hit the tank, and the shuttle isn't going all that fast only 2.5 seconds after launch.

You have a flawed assumption in that the file is read only. Exchange/Outlook will let you modify the attachment in place and keep it in your mailbox.
Now, it wouldn't be hard for the email server to check the link count and recreate the file as exchange does, I just wanted to point at out the flaw.
Many state's residents call themselves citizens of their state. It's that way here in Texas.
First one that came to mind was this one: 6,759,960
It is a patent on using the known location of an access point. It's not specific to 911, but I think it would be covered.
It can complete the polar orbit many times within the day, but the equitorial orbit period would be one day. Its total velocity has to be enough to sustain the orbit at the altitude. That velocity just has to have the right directional vector.

A polar orbit that stays at the same longitude is done all the time.

I pay my dues to the NRA for this very reason.

HD TiVos are DirecTV combo units and don't support networking you insensitive clod!
