The only way I'd buy an iPhone-like device is if it wasn't from Apple. I hate their overly-controlling, overpriced, pay for the brand name, turbo-hype, and looks over functionality. Nokia on the other hand just makes phones and they're good.
Here's your resourse:
Don't let HR hire ANYONE without you being at the final interview. They'll let anyone in but make sure the new people that get hired actually know what they're doing. That way when you say "go write this" they'll do it and it will work. If you don't do that and get losers that suck at programming, you'll end up doing your old job again when the people under you screw it up majorly.
When the laptop is reconnected, I want the data to automatically re-sync. The issue is, the data on the server may have changed as well, which needs to propagate back to the laptop.
And there you have the problem with synchronization. There's no mind reader program (yet) so sorry but you're going to have to make up your mind about how to handle it when the server version changed too. Either find a way to merge the files or start making decisions about when they can get modified (ie a checkout system) or if the server's or the laptop's version is always right or if the user gets to choose (bad idea).
As for programs, stop looking at famous ones, they suck. That's like using Norton as your antivirus. Find some freeware or open source one that does just what you need and isn't overly complicated
unrelated isn't completely true. I'm thinking they're gonna say the sound card might use up too much electricity so it scales back the network card's performance just in case lol. Either that or they'll just say "It's a feature not a bug because Vista is just so bulky and badly thrown together that completely unrelated things can completely screw each other up and there's no way around it but to redeign Vista."
We can't go to the moon huh? Oh so you're one of THOSE people. Okay so then how did the mirror reflector station that we still bounce lasers off of today get there and set up if we never landed there?
and then there's the whole it probably can't track drivers thing. It's a GPS. It can tell you where you are and where to go. It'd cost a hell of a lot extra to set up some master control room with logging that will say where every driver went that day and I seriously doubt they set it up to do that.
Any filter with a password means you can sneak the "frklg" keylogger onto your own computer, go to any site that the filter filters that it shouldn't and have the owner of the filter disable it temporarily by putting in the password. Almost all filters have this weakness. Of course some keep a log of times it was disabled and stuff but who reads that lol. I'm thinking this one has a disable password on it too and most kids know about keyloggers
does the card you're supposed to send back ask for your bank account number? Lol if their real website doesn't mention a word about it, that's just too strange for this not to be some sort of fake. Can anyone confirm this not being a scam?
You're right. They're practically astrologers when it comes to anything new they find. They're the same kind of people who look up and see an all silver hot air balloon and assume the simplest explanation is that it's an alien spacecraft from another world that nobody's ever seen before that's not technologically advanced enough to hide itself. Seriously, you can't get a visible reading of anything in a big area so logically there must be nothing there at all? That's just stupid. What if there's a waaaaay smaller gob of something dark that's waaaay closer that's blocking out that entire area so we just can't see what's behind it and it looks empty. Even worse though is, the title completely lies. A hole in "space" would mean there's no space there and you can't travel through it. But according to this:
Rather, this one is mostly devoid of stars, gas and other normal matter, and it's also strangely empty of the mysterious "dark matter" that permeates the cosmos.
there's nothing saying you can't travel through it. Maybe there's no matter there because there's no matter there. Who says when space stuff blew up and started spreading out that it did it precisely evenly. Maybe no matter went that direction, duh! As for dark matter, or as real scientists like to call it, completely normal matter that just doesn't have any radiation detectable by us reflecting off it, it's no big surprise that's not there either if there's no matter that we can see
So Microsoft puts out in a new service pack for XP and Vista with some unstoppable dug in processes that detects if you're on an antiguan IP address and shuts off your computer. No more internet equipped PCs running microsoft OS's for them. What's the big deal? No more windows for Antigua in general. Maybe that will teach them to try and steal stuff legally as if software makers would just put up with it.
I've heard of companies who offer server networks for websites and corporate server backups in case of a massive flood of traffic. Basically it's just about free cuz you rarely use it but if your website shows up on The Daily Show and you get 1 million visitors, they sense that and host it from the backup on 50 of their servers at once until traffic dies down and bill you for it later.
Same with a corporate network. A bunch of people have to get in their last minute stuff on the last day of the quarter or whatever and your server is going nuts with the traffic so they're there to save you. Just take a day or so and write a "switch" sort of program on your server(s) that detects tons of traffic and contacts the emergency offsite servers that the company has your apps and DBs just sitting on and you use multiple servers of theirs until the traffic dies down. There is a little bit of a higher fee for corporate services but it's still really cheap. It's like a rented server but 99.999% of the time, they don't need to allocate any bandwidth at all to it so it's like 25x cheaper than renting a dozen actual, full time servers.
what if someone flushes a bag of drugs cuz they know the police are gonna search their house? That'd make it look like 1000 people overdosed at once lol
oh believe cuz I went to an approx $6000 per 2 year degree total college, that's NOT what would happen. Cheap tuition and free tuition reaaaally brings em out there. You get the lazy people who want a degree but never work. You get the losers just there cuz some family member is pressuring them to go to college. There's the alcoholics that just want to live at a college and don't care about learning. Seriously, free tuition for anything anywhere should never be allowed. I guess it'd help to base the free tuition on high school grades being 3.5 GPA or higher though but you know they'd never get away with that
Well I never drove a hybrid but I assume if it has a full battery the gas engine idles and the electrical engine takes over completely. That might but be true but I dunno. If that's the case, my car gets approximately 90 MPG according to the realtime MPG chip while coasting off an onrap from 65 MPH to 0 which the engine idling. So if the solar panel cost $1000 which is about right, it'd pay for itself after buying $252 in gas or something like that.
but wait, I drive a Mercury so that counts too lol. But seriously, look on ebay for 150-200 watt solar panels. They're not very large, only about five and a half by three and a half feet. I found a 200 watt one that exact size that claims 12.6% module conversion efficiency which I think isn't so good but let's say this one gets the added bonus from the nano-layer and gets up to like 300 watts. So with a transformer or whatever to get it down to 12 volts from 30-ish volts, that's 25 amps it's putting out in the best sunlight. And my battery charger can charge an entire average car battery in 2 hours at 6 amps and 12 volts. So parked outside of work for 8 hours with a solar panel the size of the roof, hood, and trunk of my car (i.e. 3x the one mentioned above), I could charge empty to full a hybrid car battery with such a large capacity that none like it even exist yet. It'd be somewhere in the neighborhood of like a 600 amp hour battery charged from empty to full, which is about 25x the capacity of a normal car battery I think
Is it FINALLY going to be efficient enough to add solar panel edging to the trim and room of hybrid cars so they constantly recharge the battery and you can run off it almost all the time? I could see 100+ MPG on a decent liter engine that way.
I think it's just that people play the hell out of awesome games in waves as a group then one person decides to play it again years later and tells their friends and posts about it online and they all start playing it again. Who doesn't like another Mario Kart spree or Sonic the Hedgehog on Genesis now and then? I personally went back to the ancient Exile 3 from Spiderweb Software, a 2D RPG with a storyline and gameplay that kicks the ass of just about any RPG. But every time I start playing it again it gets old after a month or two.
In case nobody remembers, Stephen Colbert's "experiment" proved the response time for fixing BS entries in wikipedia (that librarians are hiding something) in about 15 seconds. Why do they have to try the experiment otra ves?:P
Sunspot activity caused yetis to go crazy and attack several servers and that did it. Seriously, I saw it on a blog written in Swedish so it must be true! Seriously, lots of Russians are egotistical liars, keep it real, people. There's one thing they're good at and that's making fake documentation for stuff.
I couldn't possibly download more than 10x what I do now and at a 50x faster rate, that means traffic will be 5x less of a problem or something like that lol. What's I'm trying to say is if everyone's downloads finish faster then they won't be using the connection as heavily for as long so traffic will clear up faster than it can back up.
dude, if a fly flew through it, it would light on fire rofl. Not that planes could fly over a city anymore anyway because trillions of tiny plasma balls heating up the air would make it probably well over 150 degrees fahrenheit over cities which would lower the air pressure so much the plane would go down:P
fiber is not THAT expensive and it's getting cheaper cuz more people want to buy it and lay it places. Plus depending on several factors, can't it be like 100x faster than cable? So in other words, 100 more customers in the same area or 10x more customers with 10x the bandwidth each. I'd freak if they offered 50 megabit connections that are never busy even if every single neighbor got on it at once. So basic math suggests that unless it's 100x more expensive to put in a fiber network than more copper, they'll make a profit by putting it in cuz DUH the demand is there

speaking of that, you know how big of a bomb someone can fit in "their own keyboard and mouse"? I hope they check them all

yeeeeah and it didn't say he did it that way. It didn't say how he did it at all. What's your problem?
