Any/. user could personally swamp North Korea's 56k leased line and their rack full of diesel-powered Pentium II boxes. For the US or China, it's not worth the trouble.
I know it's not easy in a down economy, but starting immediately, look for something else before you die from this schedule. Your employer is killing you.
And tell us who your employer is so I can avoid ever doing business in the future with them.
You can tune your max RTT down globally, but I don't know how to do that on a application by application basis. The default is usually 120 sec, which is in general, very generous by today's internet performance standards.
I've never seen a CMS that was anywhere near up to date.
The only way to index more than a few dozen documents is to use Enterprise search.
For the really cheap, you can install Google Desktop on the PC that holds the Enormous Shared Drive, and then let people log in via Remote Desktop or VMC and look stuff up. (Is there a Google Desktop API?)
You eventually could have a lot of people making personal indexes of the Enormous Shared Drive with Google Desktop, which is going to cause problems that will motivate you to obtain a real enterprise search package.
What I am up against, seemingly every day, is users who say with absolute conviction, "Why are we blocking all TCPIP at the firewall?" (when obviously we are not or else at least ONE of the OTHER 2999 users would have mentioned it), "upgrade me to the 3.0 Linux kernel! What? You don't know that 3.0 is out now?", "No, California is GMT PLUS 8 hours!".
They can do this with such conviction I find myself Googling to verify that, in fact, there are 24 hours in a day instead of 23, and having to cite my sources.
I think you are going to find that, compared to cell phone makers who have pretty much figured out power management, the netbook makers are still figuring it out. But YMMV, I've only used Asuseseses and Dellses.
One thing about the "SX70" process (with the fully contained chemicals in a bubble at the edge of the film), the dyes used were unusually stable and long lasting for the time. There was some serious artistic interest for that reason.
Large-format Polaroid photography was all the rage during the late 80s and early 90s. Mostly because it was insanely expensive (hundreds of dollars per exposure.) Again, it had a unique look and feel that was of some artistic interest.
Since there is still quite a bit of large format activity out there, maybe they can make a go of it. Polaroid only tanked because it was managed by incompetents, not because of failures of their technology.
.. corrupt third world politicans can always get a few votes by blaming it on "The Man". This *is* the UN we're talking about.
But that has absolutely nothing to do with TFA, which describes what appears to be a valid scientific claim that is being taken seriously by fellow scientists rather than some kind of nefarious conspiracy theory.
Not as cheap, but if you move up to 802.11a you can enjoy the wide open spaces of 5 Ghz, non-overlapping channels, and more of them. Until they start making 5 Ghz babies.
It isn't the dangerousness, it that no one has any resistance and everyone gets it at the same time. I work at a university and we are following our generic "epidemic" plan - no cases yet, but we would follow the same plan whether it was regular flu or the food service served bad fish for dinner, when 500+ people got sick at the same time in the same place it's a problem..
"The company...has tried unsuccessfully to sell its service to the CDC"
"Rep. Norm Dicks, D-Wash., who talked with the CDC, the Department of Homeland Security and other agencies..said the federal government had made a mistake in not purchasing the company's program"
I think there's a "Dicks for Sale" joke in there somewhere.
This is a contest to find and expert on plagiarism. If you're a so-called expert and win, sell your software to somebody else and make another 500 Euro.

Oh no, not another CMS.

Most of that power would be absorbed by some material, nearby concrete, or ground.

And, I am always, always right. How annoying.
If the National Ignition Facility fails to produce usable fusion, we can at least use it for this.
Or just buy compact fluorescent bulbs at WalMart.

... over the injustice and swear that his Apple fanboy days are over FOREV... oh wait nevermind.
I swear I read in the instructions for an SGI mouse back in the 90s "do not insert the mouse in your mouth or any other body orifice."
So there is a need here...

Or maybe that explains that line in the data from x=0100,y=0100 to x=0800,y=0800. People who email 24 hours a day, and never sleep.

Big, inflated, highly flammable, and a whiff of fascism.
In my neighborhood families own three, four, even more cars. The big savings come when you can reduce the number of cars you own.
WTF do you need three or more cars for in a 2-person household?
I suppose they assumed, in a two-earner household, that you could reduce the number of cars by one if one person was a transit rider.
No, but IT departments everywhere will be clamoring to hire the new race of dim-witted cavemen who will apparently, literally, work for less peanuts.
Ask former Bush administration officials. Kidnap and torture suspected terrorists? Not our problem, they were captured in a failed state!
For some reason, the nose-cloning scenes from "Sleeper" sprung immediately to mind when I read "NASA's Electronic Nose".

Because they can get Homeland Security funding to protect them from the Red Terrorist Menace?
