I think the real problem here is that the time/date is set incorrectly in the first place.
NTP has been around for many many years and allows almost any device to have a clock which is more accurate to within a second. For most users, this is more than adequate.
For some reason though, some large organisations/users don't know this and block the NTP ports or simply don't enable it, and wonder why their PCs/servers are minutes off "true time".
For some reason the pool.ntp.org web page shows a spammish "Tasam" page, but here is the Wikipedia entry which explains the premise behind the NTP pool. This has made NTP even easier to use over the last few years.
I have the Olympus C-750 UZ, the successor to yours. While I would prefer the shutter lag to be much reduced, the lens makes up for it all. A near-400mm zoom lens with exceptional quality.
I can print out good quality photos at A3 and there is currently no reason to move to a DSLR as all the manual controls are also on my camera.
What's more, the DSLRs do not have any video. This is often a minor point, but for the action sports (e.g. skiing) I do, it is essential.
Not really up on my Chamonix I'm afraid- but intend to go there some time and also to les Graves.
I've met one of the engineers behind the phone and have seen a demo unit, but to be honest I think a bluetooth GPS unit can be bought for 50 quid (and have SIRF-3 chipsets) which links up to almost any modern phone is more flexible and useful.
Mine's the TomTom one- great for navigating around Europe and, using the GPSXC software I referenced earlier, great for sending status messages while skiing off-piste.
I've paraglided a bit in the Alps, but I'm a very keen skier. I use some software called GPSXC which is designed for paragliders. It runs on my mobile telephone and talks to a Bluetooth GPS. You can also set it to text "home" with your lat/long every x minutes- very useful for more dangerous trips.
Why is sharpening a pen in space hard? There's no gravity requirement; the only issue would be floating bits of wood. There are lots of pencil sharpeners in an enclosed space which would stop most of the shards/dust getting out.
Xara is based on the original Artworks for the Acorn Archimedes, written by Computer Concepts (who also wrote one of the best DTP programs around, Impression).
I can't believe they've open sourced it- that's great!
Interesting comparison. The weapons in use at the time I was given the advice were the 7.62mm SLR (think semi-auto version of M16) and the SA-80. We did have some.303s but they were rendered inoperable and were used for drill and display purposes.
Just to clarify for other readers: the M16 is not 7.62mm- it's 5.56mm like the SA80. In fact the magazines are interchangeable.
Lucky, as the only time I used an M16 it kept getting stoppages and I switched over to an SA80. (Yes, both rifles were maintained very well- given the reliability record of the M16 I must have just been unlucky.)
Slashdot Mirror
I think you'll find the first microphone is wired- he then drives off with a radio mike.
I'd add anything time-related to that list. That includes ntp servers and Windows AD, which often provides a time/ntp function.
VMWare's handling of time is not pretty. If you have to virtualise ntp, use Xen which seems to handle time sync in a logical way, in my experience.
In the UK, BT is starting to sell home repeaters legally.
I presume however, you are in the USA...

Have you tried using a Trac VMWare image?
Easy to deploy and backup.
You're probably using it, but if you're dealing with caching (as most Web programmers should), look at http://www.danga.com/memcached/
Err fairness and life aren't really related.
Sad but true.
You can sail faster than the wind.
It sounds illogical, but think about it- it is quite normal.
Hmmm, sounds like maybe somebody should develop a bubble bomb. Just make a giant bubble under your enemy's ship!
So something like a fuel-air explosive? But without igniting the air?
Hmm, a big fuel-air bomb under a ship - and THEN igniting the air when it reaches the deck- could have serious consequences.

Do you by any chance know Craig in C/les 3V?
Basically, yes, you are correct.
If you have a 200W computer on, then you have the equivalent of a 200W heater. Not really that big a deal.
However, you are also generating information. Is this against the laws of thermodynamics?
Discuss.

A pencil would be far easier.
Learning assembly language is similar to learning Latin.
You'll learn French, Spanish, Portugese and Italian much much faster if you know Latin.
Toy gun? Perhaps, but it's much more accurate than the M16, even over open sights. Adding the SUSAT makes life even better.
Wow.

When you hit Google.com, the system seems to find out where you are and redirect to the local site e.g. google.fr, google.co.uk.
I guess it either looks up the IP, or it redirects local requests.
A client of mine for some reason has their access designated as France and so keep being redirected to the French Google!
Someone in England recently proved you could water-ski behind a cross-Channel ferry. (sorry, can't find links)
James Bond skied behind a seaplane.
Who's next to ski behind an aircraft carrier?
No, I don't think he is.
:-)
However, if you had six employees, you could remove one.
Just found this link www.ceefax.tv.
For those in the states, page 101 is the news summary and 100 is the basic front page.
Minitel and Ceefax are two of the most useful and under-utilised resources around.
I'm still amazed the BBC doesn't re-publish Ceefax pages on the web.
In France, many people still have minitel (especially hotels) and it's normally faster to look things up on.
And completable.
I'm still trying to finish Elite...
Right on, Commander!
