in the coffin of my Television watching, which I pretty much gave up 4 years ago when it turned out that the same damn show was on half the cable channels I was getting. "I'm Sorry Dave. But I can't do that". Well you happen to be my equipment and you will do exactly what I say, even if it means accepting 5KT of TNT and attempting to reach extra-solar velocities.
Nah!! Call it 3 of 9, since it's an Issue of 9 and then related to 7 of 9. We'd then be totally justified in using the Borg Icon for Google as that's the direction they're going.
Turn in your geek card. The integration began with IE 4 and the active desktop feature in Win98. At that point, we were screwed, blued and tattoo'd by MS.
and 10.6 is moving towards a full 64bit Architecture. This means the Atom Can't run it because it's a 32bit only CPU. In other words, this is a non-story
seeing as how most females of the species are smaller then the males in the various mammal species. What is interesting is that evolutionary effects are showing that medical treatment and good diet have slowed the trend down.
Of course, seeing as how food quality has dropped since the end of WWII, I'm also not surprised that we're beginning to see a reduction in physical size of our female population along with the emphasis towards a greater number of offspring along with the increased length of child bearing ability.
I've used Gentoo and for this, you'd have to use a stage1 tarball and bootstrap the damn thing. That's going to take a long time with such low-end specs and yes you could possibly cross compile but you damn well better check what the cpu actually supports in extensions. Not only that you will need to use the Os (Capital "O" as in OH) to force tool chain to use all size optimizations. Very similiar to the default O2 flag but drops anything that increased binary size.
The biggest risk is that even with things as small as possible, you're still going to have to many damn dependencies and resulting bloat. In this case, the best option might be to go with a version of Linux from Scratch, which will teach you as much if not more about Linux and the toolchain while allowing you to get a very stripped down system. They even have instructions on how to get Gentoo or Slackwares boot scripts working instead of depending on SystemV like RH/Deb/Ubunta and most of the others. Overall, Gentoo or LFS (Linux fron Scratch) offer the most comprehensive options to getting a stripped down - Ricer system working on that old 486
Guess you idiots can't read as he stated the laptop he's talking about pre-dates USB and doesn't have any. Nor does it have a NIC and the HD is less then 1GB
About the only solution I can see is a debian floppy installation that should allow you to get the PCMCIA nic working if drivers are available. From there, you can install a bare bones minimal system that'll do what you want.
I'll admit that I'm an Apple Bigot because I hate closed systems. Been there, done that, got the T-Shirt and Scars. Used a TRS80 for business and can't get any of the data out other then to print it out. Used a Tandy 1000 and have plenty of data locked into that format. Moved to PC's after COmpaq succeeded in reverse engineering the IBM Bios and have been able to move the resulting data to newer systems as needed due to the open standards. In other words Open Standards rock and I'll never be locked into a single Vendor's idea like Apple does and how IBM started with the PC.
and now with flat rate phone service as I have, I don't receive a detailed bill. I simply pay a flat rate unless I call outside the Service Area, which includes all 50 states, and most of the United States Possessions like Puerto Rico or the U.S. Virgin Islands so based upon your statement
The main difference with phones is historically, there has not been a recording of the call stored outside the persons home. The phone company doesn't record every conversation for you to listen too later. If they did, you'd be in a different arena. Its much easier for law enforcement to get records of your calls than it is to wire tap your calls, the records are already stored so you can be billed, and you and I demanded the phone company do so, as we expect detailed billing.
and that I have so soundly debunked as it does not always apply today due to flat rate phone service, that is advertised by AT&T/Verizon/Sprint and other carriers.
To me, the options include a single compromised tech who provided the Current IFF codes, which means the system wouldn't have alerted to Hostile/Unknown aircraft in the area or who placed the system into training/maintenance mode
You don't see that big a deal huh. Yet this is one of the FAA "Crash and Burn" Regs that was violated and do you know why they're called Crash and Burn? Simply because breaking them means mandantory loss of license. That's how big a deal the FAA considers this to be. So these two idiots are going to be Groundlings for the rest of their lives as they wont even be able to fly a Cessna after this kind of screwup.
As to the Disciplinary Action, that's going to come down from the FAA who issued their Licenses so No the Airline doesn't have to fire/discipline them. As to the Cost, Forget the Fucking cost of training. It's got no bearing on this as the cost of the Aircraft is 10x that at the minimum plus the potential "loss of Life" which runs far higher. I'm sorry but if you think that poorly about your fellow Humans, then you need to be grounded permanently to prevent you even having the possible opurtunity to pull an duplicate of the 9/11 attack somewhere else and it's the reason the FAA requires Psyc Evals as part of the annual physical.
and I have several questions for the idiots who did this so-called Study.
can your pet gold fish be trained to guide a blind person through a groccery store
can your pet parrot detect and assist an epileptic by alerting them to an oncoming or actually assist them in preventing it
is your gold fish able to lower your blood pressure, fight depression, encourage you to a more active lifestyle
If you can't answer yes to all of these, then your study is flawed in the 1st degree so I suggest you use it for the shit wipe paper it is instead of trying to get people to think.
One of the issues of pet ownership is accepting responsibility for their care and maintenance. As you state, you like to travel and owning a dog/cat is problematic due to your preferrence. I'm assuming that you're in the EU, which means that traveling with pets is problematic for you due to the various health regulations and such for the many countries, which is a shame as a traveling pet, can help reduce stress levels tremoundously. As I live in the states, I find that flying unless business related is simply not worth the stress levels when I can easily travel either by rail or automobile/rv (recreational vehicle - camper) with my pets as traveling companions. From a personal standpoint, I'll take my dogs over most other people for traveling as they're far less annoying, provide comfort and companionship while visiting, provide stress relief and enforce a minimal break routine while traveling to take care of their needs that also benefits me with increased safety due to being more alert behind the wheel or detecting the need for nap time, which is why I prefer an RV for traveling.
Considering that my desktop was built to be Quiet and Low Power, I'd say it's easily done. Specs I'm using are a C2D e6300 (65 watt), 3GB ddr2-800, Fanless Geforce 7300GT (could use onboard for less power), onboard audio, 2x Sata Drives and a Sata burner. According to my APC, total draw from it, the monitor, Phone charger and Linksys WRT54G router is Simply look at Micro ATX boards and something like a Celeron or Sempron CPU that's 65 watts (shouldn't be to hard) and you've got the basis for a decent server for less then 300
Well as a business owner, I can not allow Picassa to be installed on any of the computers due to potential security flaws. The biggest issue I have with Picassa is the fact that it needs to install with Admin Privelages and that it indexes all files on the system that as an Admin privelaged app, it can. Sorry but the only files Picassa should be indexing are the shared/public pictures and the individual my picture folders. There is absolutely no reason it needs to index My Documents even if there are images placed in that locations. In fact, now that I'm running Win7, I'm reevaluating the installation of Google Desktop Search as it's simply duplicating the Windows Search functionality that I hate to say is actually better then Google in regards to my usage/need patterns.
An example of the difference in effectiveness is the fact that I have a document archive in excess of 300K files. Using a single search term, Google only located 50K+ files with the term in them, while Windows located all 150K+ files that had the term in them. This included the many plain text files scattered throughout various folders where the term was used in discussion or referenced. When Google only finds 1/3 of the files using a single term, I have to wonder if it is worth keeping it around due to potential security holes and the possibility of inadvertentyly sharing data with Google that is required to be kept private under Federal Rules and Regs.
Hell that's 80 percent of the tech needed for an autodrive system. All you need to add is a pair of cameras aimed at lane markings to keep the car centered. Radar/Lidar and Autobraking control as we're already seeing on some models. Expand the coverage to the sides and rear, provide an RFID reader and UPS with OnStar or equivalent system. Use HOV (car pool lanes) as automatic drive lanes with RFID tags to identify exit points and you're ready to go. Then I can hand off the driving on long trips to the computer instead of having to pay attention all the time.
Had multiple BSOD on XP64 due to the W.O.W subsystem crashing and taking the rest of it down. Limited to No Driver support is common as no one in their right minds were willing to support XP64 because nobody would buy it.
I was finally able to track most of the BSOD crashes down to the W.O.W subsystem (windows on windows) for running 32bit code on a 64bit kernel and can tell you that although Vista64 and Win7-64 are more stable, both will still crash and dump what ever you're doing and don't even get me going on the Driver issue. My printer, an HP Laserjet 3055 (smb business model) didn't get Vista 64 drivers until after SP1 was released. Thankfully there's little difference between drivers so the Vista drivers will work fine on Win7. One thing I was glad to hear and hope to hell MS doesn't screw up is the Win7 Logo requirements. For a product with drivers to qualify, it will have to have both 32 and 64 bit drivers or they can't use the logo. It's that simply and will work if they don't let anyone fuck around and not provide the drivers. Of course since Vista64 has been around long enough, I suspect we'll have few driver issues with new hardware but older hardware that never saw Vista64 drivers wont get Win7 drivers probably wont ever get drivers or be supported.
Cheap/Upfront costs of a Console? WTF have you been shopping latelyy? I can buy a basic PC from damn near any big box store for the same or less the an Xbox 360/PS3 system and have more hardware/software options that are free.
Hell I've had it since May and aint a "TechNet" subscriber. I'm just one of the many who bothered to grab the RC and am running it on everything at home.
Right now, I'm a damn happy camper because they fixed/solved one of Vista's biggest problems. It certainly was anti-social in regards to even another vista box on the home network. Could never share files/printers yet Win7's homegroup works nicely once you set things up and get the latest updates that fixed the many problems.
It appears that leaves most Onboard NICs out in the cold then as many of them use host memory. So Apple should be safe unless they're pursuing in regards to the PPC and earlier archs.
I agree that Google's Desktop search works wonders on an XP/Vista box but I've discovered that the tweaks to the Win7 search actually seem to be damn solid. I've got a document archive that is 13GB with 300K plus files in it and Win7 was able to find more files (content search) with a specific term then Google was. Of course, this surprised the hell out of me that MS was actually better then Google on Win7.
the damn thing because of the manner in which it installed. It's a registry entry, whicm means that unless Firefox/Mozilla pulls it from the registry itself, I doubt it is actually disabled beacuse it's not a plug-in/add-on.
Call me paranoid but since the plug-in/add-on is not installed into the proper firefox extensions/plug-in folder, I can't see how Firefox can control the behaviour of the damn thing so take the assured disabling route of deleing all of the registry keys for the damn thing under the Mozilla/Firefox entries. Did that and the add-on was gone right away without restarting firefox and that sugests to me that it can't be disabled by Firefox/Mozilla using the traditional methods.
