Simple, ask first telling them that it will increase the value of the property and the rentability... I own my home and just wired it. Many people use TiVo and gaming systems. It saves money not to need to buy the wireless adapters for all these gadgets and for gaming it reduces latency and increases bandwidth which gamers love.
Ebonics is a sub-dialect... basically an accent with a few special words. Same as British English is to Southern-US English. Both CAN understand each-other though they may need to slow down a bit and explain a few words.
I know this because I am an anthropology major that has studied linguistics.
It is obvious... there is a threat to America posed by evil vampires and we need to keep tabs on a high school girl who can single handedly kill them all just in case she needs an airdrop of stakes by black helicopters.
I'm curious about this sudden SUSE push and the recent deals with Novell and Microsoft. I'm curious as to what is going on behind the scenes... is Microsoft working on a linux GUI? Something even more sinister? Or perhaps it is just a coincidence... but then again I don't believe in those.
You'd be surprised... I was doing technical writing and documentation in an all windows shop and constantly got crap about it. Anytime something happened with the internet or a printer or anything the IT department would come yell (literally) at me and how my mac was screwing up their network. Never mind the fact that this was almost never the case and was usually a virus laden computer belonging to a boss who had a penchant for downloading porn at work. Strangely enough, I never heard a kind word when I was able to do layout and design work for a trade show that no one else new how to do with the windows computers. I decided there are better places to work and haven't heard a bad word about my mac since. So this may not be the norm, but it definitely happens!
no. while customization should be possible based on the underlying code the default should look the same no matter what. If everything was great with HTML displaying things however a browser wanted at some random resolution there would have been no reason for creating XML.
The whole point of standards and having an Acid 2 Test is to make sure that no matter what platform, no matter browser you use things look the same by default. This is important because it changes line-breaks, overlays, and a number of other things which could be major concerns when it comes to things like electronic banking. I don't want my bank account to look like it was written in "kid script" or even worse hide a negative sign or lose several zeros due to a forced line-break or substituted font with no equivalent character.
No, scary would be if the party you called got to hear the ads too. Imagine the chaos it could cause if some spam style advert comes on in the middle of your business meeting!
you: Increase sales and....the size of your penis with cialis... by reaching out to new demographics.... pointy-haired boss: like women???
My hope is these computers won't stifle the hardware but prevent the software from having a free ride. You are exactly right - trying to run a complicated operating system like Vista on a laptop like this would be painful at best, but there is no reason the computer couldn't be very useful with a *well written* modern OS. By increasing the responsiveness of software for these computers it would exponentially increase the effective speed of high-end machines... couple that with hardware advances and an asterisk and it could make it much easier to achieve Moore's Law for the next few years.

That theory has been all but discounted by studying non-coding DNA. Assuming the mtDNA tests hold up to time it is pretty certain that Neandertals are separate from humans, but likely did interact in some manner (it may have been indirect). There are cases of similar tool technology in Europe but it may have been a case of finding some stone points and replicating them. Personally I think they had physical interaction to some degree as the tools in question are rather difficult to make.
Yes, and because blue M&Ms were made after brown ones they taste better too. First, to support racism there would need to be, well, races. Lack of actual genetic races aside Homo sapiens that evolved in Africa were subjected to evolutionary forces the same way the ones who migrated out of Africa were. All Homo sapiens continue to be subjected to so some degree of evolutionary shaping (cancer anyone?). Just because some people left Africa does not mean that they progressed faster from an evolutionary standpoint, just that it was more noticeable (skin color, hair, size, etc). Finally, saying that Homo sapiens that left Africa are better than ones who stayed because of evolution is silly; by that measure Chimpanzees who remain in Africa are better than all of us because they are evolving faster genetically. Genetic evolution is a sign that the species is adapting to just survive... if you look at successful species like turtles they change very little over a very long time, so if you want to play racist then the ones who left are the weak ones... but that just shows the absurdity of your argument. Go take a biological anthropology class, it would do you some good.
No, this is a common misconception about genetics. Genetics don't change over a lifetime (as far as we can prove so far), but rather mutations occur over many generation (evolution)... this is proven over and over again. So the black man wouldn't turn white, but mother's genetics aside his great great great great grand kids would likely be much lighter skinned than him if they all lived in Norther Europe. The reason for the lighter skin is a genetic adaption to absorb UV from the sun for processing into vitamin D. In Africa UV is no problem, so skin protection from the negative impacts of high UV become the selecting force. The other thing to consider about why your "black man moving north" and kin don't turn white is there may no longer be a need for selection now that there are enriched foods. Most commercial milk has components added to increase vitamin D creation, so the skin absorption is less important.
Yes, I understand that not having line of sight effects the signal, but if the device claims to be getting a WAAS signal it should not be MILES off. I can understand if it is off by even a few hundred feet, but when it tells me I am in the wrong state it is simply useless. If the device is getting that poor of a reading it should simply tell the user it can't get a fix (which does happen if there is not enough satellites within range). My point is better error detection is needed within the devices.
I hope these two combined work better than GPS alone, because I've used GPS quite a bit and have resorted back to map and compass more than once. Between poor reception in mountainous terrain or during bad weather or while in the woods and bad information from the satellites I've pretty much given up. Heck I've seen readings that were more than 100 miles off! And this was not a single device. We had a Magellan with WAAS and a Garmin with a powered external antenna and both gave absurd readings while hiking the Pacific Crest Trail even when they had access to 5 or more satellites.
I still hate that BeOS went belly up. It was a great operating system but was crushed before it ever got very far. The hardware support was also amazing: it would run winmodems and other windows only hardware. I've never tried writing an operating system, but I hope some of the features from BeOS make it into linux/OSX. One interesting thing to note is Be was originally a mac alternative and was only later moved to x86.
Another cool operating system to check out is MenuetOS... it is written entirely in Assembly! Very fast boot times and the GUI and eevrything fits easily on a floppy!
I've driven a relative's Yukon. if you can actually get anywhere near that mileage i'll give you a cookie. I got about 9 mpg in town and and somewhere between 11 and 13 on the highway. I felt bad just for driving it for a week.
No no no! You've got it all wrong! The "heat piping" is what was once called a "radiator" You put it in your house and run it during winter to stay warm - No need for a case; it just adds weight. They are coming out with a summer model in January.

wow. I really wish I had that last mod point still... just don't know how I would have modded you... we need a "sadly true" option.

how is this flamebait? I actually found it kind of amusing... it says "goo goo gah gah" btw.

I don't think it could be any more clear or easier to find....
