That's one of the two Primary Tools.
The other is the sledge hammer.
No, no. no!
The other primary tool is WD-40. What are you going to do when something is sticky and doesn't need to be? (Duct tape is for making things sticky that ARE supposed to be, but aren't.)
It depends largely on his intent. His full quote was "I am committed to helping Ohio deliver its electoral votes to the president next year." Was then emphasis on "I" (as I took them to be) or was the emphasis on "to the president" (presumably meaning the current president, then running for re-election).
Yes, the guy's a Bush contributor, but that doesn't mean he's a perpetrator of fraud.
FWIW, I'm a registered Republican, and I am as paranoid as anybody else about this. I'm 100% behind blackboxvoting and VVAPT, because I sincerely believe not only in the voting process, but that what goes around comes around.
They put in Hydrogen and Oxygen in with the gasoline/air mix.
Right.
One problem: where do they get this Hydrogen and Oxygen?
Answer: they electrolyze water. If everything was 100% efficient, the energy consumed by electrolyzing it would be exactly offset by the energy gained through combustion. But they're not 100% efficient, or even close. Therefore it follows the basic laws of thermodynamics: 1. You can't win.
2. You can't break even.
3. You can't quit the game.

During the windows update process you are asked to accept signed code and you may "Always trust code from Microsoft".
I've always wanted an option on that screen that says "Don't trust code from Microsoft, but install it anyway."
So, just the music part of the audio, not even the spoken words of the actors costs $2.01 more than the Digital Video, Audio in Dolby 5.1, Bonus Features, and all, of the DVD version.
Ah, but how much would the DVD cost if the composers didn't count on also being able to sell the music separately?
Captive NTFS has worked fine for me. I keep the couple of XP files I need on a USB key, and together with a Knoppix CD, I haven't had any problems so far.
I believe you are not legally allowed to redistribute SuSE (at least not if you keep copies).
Wrong.
I just pulled out my Suse 9.3 Pro CD, and in LICENSE.TXT it says:
...
The Software is a collective work of Novell. You may make and use unlimited copies of the Software for Your distribution and use within Your Organization. You may make and distribute unlimited copies of the Software outside Your organization provided that: 1) You receive
no consideration; and, 2) you do not bundle or combine the Software with another offering (e.g., software, hardware, or service). The term "Organization" means [legal definition deleted]
The Software is a modular operating system. Most of the components are open source packages, developed independently, and accompanied by
separate license terms. Your license rights with respect to individual components accompanied by separate license terms are defined by those terms; nothing in this Agreement (including, for
example, the "Other License Terms and Restrictions," below) shall restrict, limit, or otherwise affect any rights or obligations You may
have, or conditions to which You may be subject, under such license terms.
While the license terms for a component may authorize You to distribute the component, You may not use any Novell marks (e.g., SUSE and SUSE LINUX) in distributing the component, whether or not the component contains Novell marks.
...
So, in short, you can give it away, but can't charge for it unless you want to go through a whole lot of hassle.
We only have to make one really significant change, and that is to change the method of rewarding learning.
All of our schools have a mandatory attendance policy, but none have a mandatory learning policy.
My proposal is this: you get out of school when you learn everything you need to know to graduate, which includes reading, writing, social science, math, at least one foreign language, music, and art (of which the last of these I am woefully ignorant FWIW).
Ask any high-schooler what he thinks of school. Well over 90% will give you the same answer: "boring". Why is that? It's because they're "forced" to be there doing something they don't want to do, in order to reach a goal (the diploma), which they don't really see as a goal for any other reason than they've been told "it's a good thing" and their parents told them they need to do so. There is no tangible benefit to them for learning.
In the current system, if you get done with your project early, or have already learned the material, what is your reward? You get "busy work" to keep you occupied until the rest of the class catches up. Now that's some reward that really models the "real world." You want kids to learn, give them a reason to learn. The sooner they learn, the sooner they can start making some spending cash elsewhere.
Oh, and one more thing. Oral exams when appropriate. Too many students cheat. An oral exam makes it very difficult to fake your way out.
There was a survey a few years ago where teachers were asked to describe their perfect classroom. Nearly universally, they described their current class with better students (and usually more teaching aids). If we're going make a real change we need to think outside the box (Bingo!)
and make some REAL change.
FWIW, Hastings (at least at my local branch) also lets you apply the rental price toward the purchase of the same movie when you return the rental.
I rarely rent movies (the local library has nearly as large of a selection for free), but if I am considering purchasing a movie that I haven't seen before, I'll rent it from Hastings, knowing that I can buy it when I return the rental. Essentially becomes a "try-before-you-buy" thing.
Section 22:
The x86 versions of Windows and Linux, the two operating systems that dominate the business and consumer computer worlds, have spawned a huge installed base of Windows- and Linux-compatible application programs that can only run the x86 instruction set. This has given Intel effective ownership of personal computing. Although other
microprocessors are offered for sale, the non-x86 microprocessors are not reasonably interchangeable with x86 microprocessors because none can run the x86 Windows or Linux operating systems or the application software written for them.
I found it interesting that Linux no longer runs on PPC, Sparc, Alpha, xScale, etc.
I had the best luck by ignoring the harmless stuff, and recruiting the help of the geeks.
As a former school tech director myself, I agree. My first year, I used one of the school's new labs to host a LAN party on a weekend. With the geeks on my side, I doubt there was anything happening on "my network" that I didn't know about.
"Checking the calibration" is different from calibrating it in exactly what details?
"Checking the calibration" can be done in the field with a minimum of tools. It has a much wider margin of error than a full calibration.
A full calibration is done in a lab basically assuming that it's not right, and getting it as accurate as possible.
although it sounds suspiciously like an ex-brother-in-law
You inferred correctly

Yes, for many reasons (not the least of which was that he was cheating on my sister). However, that doesn't mean I couldn't learn anything from him.
I would say that it is all a matter of semantics.
Not in a courtroom. You don't get a chance to interact with others, and people likely won't get a good "feel" for you. "Perception is reality." If you don't sound like you know what you're talking about on one subject, people will extrapolate that to other subjects.
If the gun has not been calibrated properly within 24 hours of issuing the ticket, then the charges must be dropped.
If you're going to rely on this, get your terminology correct. They are only calibrated infrequently (every 6 months IIRC, unless the calibration checks fail). They "check the calibration" on a daily basis (or even more often).
I had a brother-in-law on the Highway Patrol. They loved making people look stupid who had this terminology incorrect.
I don't know about cryptopad, but I'm quite positive strip does it "right". I used it extensively before buying a Zaurus a little over 2 years ago and moved to zSafe.
Microsoft's RDP came from Citrix, as many people probably don't realize.
Wrong. Wrong. Wrong.
A sibling post came close to telling the story, but left out a few relevant bits.
Citrix had a license to the NT3.5 codebase, which they modified and sold as a completely separate product (WinFrame). Their modifications to NT were
"MultiWin" - that essentially made NT usable by more than one person at once. At that time, only one person could be on the desktop at once. Citrix's code made it multi-user.
"ICA" (I don't remember if that's what they called it at the time, but that's what it became at any rate) - the protocol that sent keystrokes and mouse movements to the server and screen updates back to the clients.
Interestingly enough, at that time, Citrix was saying "we're charging for MultiWin, but ICA is free" (which is exactly the opposite of what they're doing now).
They were going to do the same thing with NT4, and it was even in public beta, when Microsoft did what it does best, and threatened them. The upshot was that Citrix licensed MultiWin to MS, and Citrix got a "blessed" addon from MS.
Citrix did NOT license ICA to Microsoft. RDP was Microsoft's replacement for ICA that built upon Citrix's MultiWin technology. The marriage of MultiWin and RDP was NT4TSE.
...and FWIW, Citrix also had an OS/2 based product (WinView) at the same time that also used the ICA protocol.
