Itâ(TM)s no surprise that we have our attention drawn out of us against our will to speech, since we are trained our entire lives to listen to speech. Guess what - music with words forces us to listen, where as music without words not so much. Big surprise that intellectuals once listened to classical music, it turns out that they were just not listening to words.
Who are you, and you speak like I think. I'm not sure if I speak like you think, but I seriously wish there were another me. Not an exact me, as the copy would find similar results that I would. I need a different , like the same genetic traits that blueprints the type of person I am, but maybe from a different gene pool, with a different upbringing. Like if I were to have several illegitimate children with different women, and then pawned them off for adoption before settling down with Miss Right, and then have more children with her. Those children would have the "thing" that makes me the way I am, and THAT is the person I believe you to be in relation to me. Not necessarily in the manner I described, but as you continue to read this I'm sure you're becoming more curious. I even spent 15 minutes reviewing other posts that you've made here on Slashdot, and I'm quite impressed with the quality of your posts. But now thats enough ego stroking and I'm sure i've officially creeped you out. Thats okay though, I'm pretty sure you'll get over it. I also have a daughter, five kids total actually. Life is good, they are awesome, but at 37 I'm afraid my potential is not fully realized. But, perhaps through correspondence with you -LostMyBeaver- I might find a way to achieve something that I cannot do alone. So shoot my nickname an email at hotmail when you get a chance, as I want to build an accord with you, and have a few ideas to discuss. (psst - its definitely not a Sloot like video encoding system) You may get bored, you may be suspicious, but trust your gut this once and reply. To me it feels like a huge effort to reach out to a complete stranger like this, so don't prove me wrong. Send me that email, I only want to give back that irreplaceable commodity which once spent is never reclaimed. Have yourself a good evening, and know that not replying to me will result in restless sleep or perhaps a migraine. The clock is ticking - tick - tock - tick
Apple didn't break compatibility with their old systems, in fact developed special tools to ease the transition between two completely different architectures!
Never in the history of OSX did the operating system break compatibility with all of its existing software intentionally. In fact, when Apple shifted to a different x86 cpu, they provided tools which let someone run software from A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT ARCHITECTURE TO MAINTAIN COMPATIBILITY. Last time I checked, Microsoft has never done anything like this, as their business model has been "Buy all new stuff so we can fuck you out of it in two to three years"
Not so random. Found a FreePbX phone system that requires ssh for phone traffic to pass to the VoIP provider. VoIP provider calls once a month saying a quarter of their total bandwidth comes from one number on the clients phone system and changes the private key used to authenticate. VoIP doesn't require ssh, so after figuring out all calls are being routed to a man in the middle, ssh gets disabled and phone quality improves, VoIP provider is happy. If the hackers only knew how to maintain good call quality, they would have never been discovered.

I know because it's happening all over the Coachella Valley. I have seen cut rate guys NOT reclaiming or pumping down coils - jettisoning 10+ pounds each time. This occurs at least 50 times a day here in the desert that I know of. Even top paid contractors like callthegeneral.com just don't care because their commission is based on number of visits per day, and it takes an extra 15-25 minutes to pump a system down before removal. The wholesale houses even pay a couple $$$ per pound of the reclaimed stuff, but commission rates ensure blowing off straight to atmosphere every time.
You are correct. Both have their strengths and weaknesses, but for automated systems there seems to be a need for constant babysitting for HP equipment. Seems like HP support is always showing up to do SOMETHING to a server related to drive firmware or cooling fans, while the Dell equipment just keeps running ad infinitum. HP support has only cost $300K this quarter for the aforementioned issues, and caused downsizing in a department that could use a few more bright staff members. Cooling fans and drive firmware - is this for real?
The key is to know what the hell you're doing, and let the spectators watch the show. New or used, buy for what your customer needs - NOT for the free tickets Vendor X gives you as an incentive to buy their gear. Being a professional in this field, here are some pointers. - Contact your power company for virtualization incentives to upgrade all that old hardware. - Use free software that is commercially supported, like XenServer, QuantaStor, and Zimbra. - Stick with a vendor that produces quality gear like Dell (Sorry HP, but you know why) - Buy from wholesale vendors like Stallard, or from established eBay vendors.

Lets see - I'm building a UAV using RS-422 for fly-by-wire operation using a RTOS and embedded hardware. Do I want TCP/IP or USB buffers involved on servos that control its ability to stay in the air? I can only imagine getting a lecture from an engineer at Raytheon about keeping things simple.

The Federal Food Safety Act of 1921 prohibited bone-in ice cream and all ice cream and ice cream novelties had to be sold boneless after that.
There was an interesting turn of events that led to the Federal Food Safety Act of 1921. Evidently Grover Cleveland , who was the US President at that time, had a daughter named Ruth.
Ruth was very fond of ice cream, which back then was a rarity because electric refrigeration was not yet largely available to the public. They had to haul ice from the frozen lakes on mountains down to where the homes where at, in order to make ice cream. But I'm getting off onto another subject.
Anyway - the ice cream they made back then naturally had bones in it - how else would you make ice cream? Normally this was not an issue - every child back then knew how to hold a drumstick ice cream cone at the bottom and lick around the bone so that they would not accidentally choke on it. Although it was possible to make ice cream with out bones - it was very expensive to do it because only the Chinese craftsmen, who invented ice cream, were clever enough to debone and ice cream drumstick and not make a mess of it.
So anyway - Ruth was eating an ice cream cone at the exact instant her father was elected president of the United States. So shocked was she, that she accidentally swallowed the bone from the ice cream and began to choke.
Luckily, Henry Heimlich Sr. (Father of Henry Heimlich Jr, inventor of the Heimlich maneuver) was nearby and was able to expel the bone from the windpipe of young Ms Cleveland and save her from certain death.
Well - this was a great thing that Henry Heimlich had done, saving the daughter of the President of the United States. However, Grover Cleveland was away for his inauguration while this happened and wasn't aware of it for several months afterward - when his daughter retold the story of how she almost died from an ice cream bone. Grover was pretty busy at the time and really didn't pay much attention to this until around the time of Ruth's next birthday.
Taking time away from the war, Grover Cleveland asked his daughter what she wanted for her birthday. Giving it some thought, young Ruth finally said "Daddy, I want an sweet snack that I can eat that won't cause me to choke again." It was then when President Cleveland remembered the incident she told him of many months earlier.
He asked Ruth - "What kind of ice cream were you eating when you almost died?" She told her dad she was eating a chocolate covered ice cream cone with nuts and caramel in it.
Ruth's father thought about this and called his old friend James Curtis who owned the Curtis Candy Company in Chicago to see what could be done on Ruth's request.
James told Grover that he would get back to him after trying out a few things, and they hung up the phone which only recently had been invented.
While James Curtis was working on a treat in which Ruth would not possibly choke on - President Cleveland was bothered by the fact that if his adorable daughter almost died from eating ice cream with the bone still in - that there must be other children suffering the same fate.
So - President Cleveland called up congress and told them he wanted them to pass a bill to outlaw bones in ice cream in an effort to save the children of the United States the dangers of choking on ice cream bones.
Congress said "say what..??" But they decided there was something they could do and they hung up their phone. Congress and the president and the Curtis Candy Company had phones back then -but not many other people.
So about that time - James Curtis called the President with the news that he had come up with a candy bar, with chocolate and nuts and caramel with NO BONES in it what so ever! And his daughter could eat them and not be afraid of choking on the bones because it had no bones.!
President Cleveland told James Curtis to bring his newly invented confection to the White House and to come as quickly as possible because his daughter's birthday was n
