The better it works the easier it will be to support. Also why does the XP instance have to have its own antivirus and firewall? I don't understand why the windows 7 (Magnificent 7? Windows Magnifica!) firewall and antivirus won't be sufficient for the virtual XP machine inside.
Linux taught me a lot about computing, it certainly helped me with problem solving skills in terms of working on PCs even when they were running something else. Various knoppix disks and assorted distros over the years have certainly helped me identify bad or buggy hardware on many occasions. Damn Small Linux is the Linux I've gotten the most use out of myself, removing data from dead PCs finding out if sick computers were worth fixing etc.
That I don't think I ever got to work, followed by either SUSE or Caldera, which I did get work, but didn't really find anything much to do with either of them. Red hat in 97 or so was the first time I used Linux for any practical purposes.
I have often, and at great length lamented the loss of real honest to goodness tactile keyboards that could take a beating and give some positive feedback. Also, I don't believe repetitive stress injury was much of a problem before the electric typewriter and the computer, was it? I learned to type on a royal manual typewriter and I still miss the action in some ways, but the IBM selectric had the greatest action of all time, this article gives me some hope for the future!
Also this should include that while we have no data from this terribly flawed survey. Perhaps those who chose to use Religious coping methods more have stronger ties to their congregation and family than the the others in the sample, and they wanted to stay around as long as possible to be with those people.

I really don't think I'd see much point to firefox without Noscript and Adblock. As for noscript being "too paranoid" there's no such thing. They really are all out to get you, and it's a fantastic tool for keeping them from wasting your time, or intruding on your computer. Also, for those of us so far out in the hinterlands we still use dialup, Noscript and Adblock, along with Images like opera can actually make web surfing tolerable again.
More fun would be if the "Elite" players were playing FPS and the players playing the "enemy" had some freedom to see what's going on and could maneuver the NPCs. I thought of this when I fist started playing RTS games and FPS games. (Wolfenstien 3D and Command HQ, still one of the most fun RTS games, no building mobs and rushing.)
There are BILLIONS(Maybe Trillions) of dollars worth of tools to use imperial units. Lumber is made in 2X4" pipe fittings are measured in inches, the handy use of fractional units when doing carpentry, which what's half of 5/8"? (A: 5/16") is a serious factor. The lifespan of all these tools, such as the tooling to roll steel and brass and aluminum into inch sizes etc is something no one ever talks about, how long does the largely theoretical "gain" made by switching to SI units take to pay off all the steel mills the lumber mills the switching over of all the plumbing in America to metric pipe fittings???? (Hint, civilization and technology are 90% plumbing)
Listen, I work in manufacturing, we have customers with english and metric prints, I convert back and forth on the fly a few hundred times some days. Not a problem, anyone who's a Scientist shouldn't be doing anything in imperial units at all anyway. So what's the problem? As for the "difficulty" in conversion, the imperial units are DEFINED in SI units, right? I know one inch =25.4 mm by definition.
So let my summarize by saying "Who will think of the rulers!" (And steel mills and pipe fittings and rolling mills and everything I'm ignorant of)
This my friend is why many of the states in the USA sponsor lotteries. It's a "get out of poverty" pass randomly distributed to the masses, and since people are bad at math they feel it gives them a chance to escape the crushing debt our society has conditioned them to accept. (Disclosure I do have a powerball ticket in my wallet.)
The major flaw in Wargames, though, was how Matthew Broderick was some kind of local hero for being good at arcade games - like some sort of sports jock being cheered on by the townspeople, and scoring a hot chick.
He had some geek-notoriety for being good at video games. I don't find that unrealistic, not for the time, kids who were good at games, were proud of it and let everyone know about, they were geeks, they're friends were geeks... Now you do understand the number one most unrealistic thing in all movies, right?
Wasn't one of the rebuttals to Penrose's books that there couldn't be any quantum processes at work in the brain because of (reason X)[1] I wonder if anyone knows enough to comment on this?
1: Basically quantum effects were supposed to be too small? I really can't remember.
Okay. "Handguns are for murder" was a bit over the top, incecentally I've never murdered anyone with mine either. (I have 2) But eve though that statement was a bit over the top, I still believe the general idea of the post I made, the nature of the arms the "right to keep and bear arms" is talking about is the tools of home defense and implements of a standard infantryman of the day. So when cities or high crime areas try and regulate the possession and carrying of concealable weapons I don't think it follows that they are automatically infringing upon the right to bear arms. I think my right to a gun in my house, to protect my property, short or long is very different than my right to have it tucked in my coat when I'm at the supermarket, isn't it? I do also know all about collecting, owning shooting & hunting, I fired my first shot when I was probably 7 and while I'm too lazy to hunt I enjoy plinking a great deal.
The thing is "arms" pretty clearly meant a rifle and a tomahawk, or sword if you were rich. Everyone debates what "militia" means, but what about "arms" arms means the implements of a footsoldier, right? People often talk about all the guns in Switzerland not creating a lot of crime, but they're primarily the guns held by all the members of the countries armed forces reserve (Which I gather is almost every one) and they're long guns, not the sort of thing you can slip into a bar under your shirt. A shotgun is what you really need for home defense anyway, and a rifle if you have some space to protect or you're afraid of a riot. Handguns are for murder, long guns are for hunting and fighting wars.
Moreover, you are absolutely wrong that it makes any difference what the weapon is when the passion to kill arises.
I call BS!
I've been stabbed, at close range, by someone who was mad enough to kill me, got a little blood on me and a cool scar to show for it, at that range the same person with even a relatively harmless handgun would have killed me, or at least I would have this long "time I got shot and had surgery" story to tell. I submit it's ridiculous to say easy access to firearms (Handguns or long guns) doesn't aid in the commision of crimes of passion. Example, I have a swiss army knife handy, as well as a stick I saw laying in the yard, there's a.357 locked up in a closet, now if I lose my marbles and decide to go after a family member with murderous intent on my mind, if I get the swiss army knife, or the stick, what are the odds they'll survive? A bit better than if I get the magnum huh?
Disclaimer, I'm very pro-gun ownership by people qualified to do so, and have no problem with some government regulation of firearms especially those can be easily concealed or that pack tremendous firepower. For whatever reason this sane sounding opinion puts me alone at the lunatic fringe with the anti-gun people thinking I'm a wacko gun-nut and the gun people thinking I'm a gun seizing lib. Strange.....
Easy. Snakes don't talk, therefore Genisis and by inference most of the Old Testament is either metaphorical or divine wisdom interpreted through the terribly flawed writings of mankind. "Love your neighbor as yourself" and the other commandments of Jesus are meant to be interpreted literally, and the "Roman Church" by which I mean the thing that Christianity has been for most of its existence under the influence of Rome, and human governments in general is to be treated exactly as Christ treated the money changers he found in the temple (he went after them with a whip) so, love your neighbor feed the hungry clothe the naked, be merciful and take care of one another. That's the literal part. The rest is unimportant.
I'm inviting you to go to your local welding supply store. Purchase a bottle of this wonderful stuff, by a regulator and a mask and breahte in this non-pollutant for about oh... 4-6 minutes should do the trick. Your surviving family members will at least have learned that a naturally occuring gas created by man and animals and needed by plants to live might be a pollutant.
The universal cookbook for toolmakers, engineers and everyone else involved in manufacturing. They're like $70 a piece and even more for the electronic version, the single most useful book I've ever owned... (Of course, if you're not a machinist it's not that useful, but hey, we are still a manufacturing country aren't we?)
This killer, like nearly 100% of murderes has been exposed to the toxic chemical Di-hydrogen monoxide. Why can't we get this stuff banned?
Seriously, Cart=Game Killer=Horse, a person contemplating or depressed or distressed enough to be ready for the murderous rampage seems very likely to give the Columbine game a try, I'll be he saw the movie "heathers" at some point in his life, hell why not blame Howard Stern? He probably listened to Howard at least once, let's put him in prison for this attrocity along with the game developer, and the careless people who actually piped life threatening Dihydrogen Monoxide straight into this persons house! A chemical that was consumed by over 100% of serial killers and NAZI despots!
That's the way the challenge should be explained. You can use the web, but no posting, no forums no webmail no IRC etc. I'd still probably have to go with the web, as long as I can send faxes from work.
Wikipedia isn't broken. What you're describing could be created as an add on layer, wiki is free, all content available under the GNU documentation license etc. Youre expertwiki could be added on top and be used to provide commentary and point out the articles that regularly are biased/suck because of the nature of wiki. Basically I use the wiki for EVERYTHING as a starting point, and often it's the only place I need to look, say for a recipe or to find out something utterly unimportant, if I'm looking for the real dirt on world affairs or politics or virtually anything contreversial the wiki isn't really the place to look.
If I'm applying for a job where there is a real chance of my being able to divert company monies for personal use this wouldn't bother me a bit, desperate people with large unpaid debts who are one step ahead of the bill collectors are more likely to steal from their employer. There are a great many ways to divert money from your employer, some of them can be very difficult to trace, detect or prove in court. Especially in sales positions, so credit checks seem to be a reasonable precaution for some jobs.
For my job I'd be insulted, and probably wouldn't be interested in that job anymore if you asked for a credit check. (Unless I was unemployed I suppose)
