Of course I can. I'm part of the screwed up society they sing about. What, you think that songs are created out of the blue? Er, as it turns out, they're often about things.
Kit car: Real car. Like, you get in it and drive around. You just have to build the thing yourself. Not plastic models, but $15,000 piles of metal parts. =)
A. The geeks actually do work for a living. And a technological military saves lives. So, aside from your massive number crunching mistakes, such as not counting various other types of money sucking social programs, and your total ignorance that private companies and universities have been paying for, and innovating the internet for 30 years, you're still a clueless wonder.
Oh yeah. And I've realized why you don't like to flame. You're terrible!
Uh. I think that was his point. He doesn't pay the bill for an African ISP when he sends mail to Africa, and doesn't expect to. If I send him mail, I don't have to pay him anything. So uh... why should we pay to send e-mail to Africa?
Okay, maybe *we're* both missing the point, but you're not even in the same room as the point.;p
It's not just the monitor, but the environment the moniter is used in. I'm 23, and if it weren't for corrective lenses, I'd be legally blind. Now, what works best for me is a nice, flat, 21" monitor.
The flatness of the monitor works very well, since it cuts down on glare. And the nice size of the monitor lets you put some distance between you and it. If you run that big bugger in 1280x1024, you'll be doing fine.
Make sure you don't use the monitor in a darkened room often, that'll cause you problems, and if you wear glasses, it has a pretty good chance of giving you a headache. And if you sit near a window, you might want to get an anti-glare screen. Having bright spots, (either the monitor in a dark room, or glare on the screen) can cost you some vision, given enough time.
World? Try New York. There are different standards in every city and vary a bit from country to country.
Okay. Do you think that statement somehow disproves, or even disagrees with the parent post? New York has one of the toughest set of building codes around. And the testing, both practical and theoretical on both towers, and the materials that comprised them, was second to none for the time.
Yup. Of course, you could also just get a 100Base-FX NIC. I'm putting in 300 of these at one of my sites for about $120 each. I might have gotten a discount for bulk.;)
They're kind of darn fussy, though. But I think I want to blame my 3com fiber switch, first.
For the most obvious example, you can look at the USPS, vs. Fed Ex and UPS. In that area, it's fairly safe to say that the government version hasn't stifled the private sector interests. Fed Ex gets it there faster, and UPS gets it there better, either cheaper, or if it's heavier, or whatever.
I work for city government, in that other city, on the other side of the country. A city run ISP will be concerned with either value, fair service, or information security, or maybe a combination of the three. This is hardly a bad thing. Cities have a way of wanting to avoid lawsuits, badly.
That being that, private offerings will be able to compete with higher speed, more features, package deals, etc. Like the USPS, a city ISP would offer a baseline of service, and any private ISP that couldn't at least match it would crash and burn, but they'd probably deserve it.
FOUR. All your arguements are enough to make me tilt my head back a little, and think, okay, a two disc set. That's cool. Superbit on disc 1, and extras on 2. Neat.
FOUR! Unless you're changing the disc every 30 minutes, bitrate don't have nuthin' to do with nuthin'.;p
Everyone who replied to me can pant and drool over bitrate all they want, but don't tell me some New Line exec didn't think, "Hey, two disc sets are popular. Think of how they'll jizz over FOUR!" =)
It boggles the mind to think how much information four properly used DVD discs can hold. Certainly way more than is required by a four hour cut, with audio commentary. There's no reason why one dual layer double sided disc couldn't hold the four hours of video, 5.1 audio in several languages, trailers, stills, menu easter eggs, and a bag of chips.
I know I'm not the only one that keeps my DVD's in a CD wallet. And there's going to be 3 LOTR movies! Crikey.
Do I really need a 12 disc holder just for this series? Bah, humbug, New Line!
Er... sorry. I just wanted to grump. Go Frodo! Rah! Yeah.
Actually, a whole lot of juggling is putting your hand in the right place at the right time. You're not really watching all the balls in the air, if you're doing more than 3. If anything, a juggler relies on the anticipation *more* to catch a ball than say, a baseball outfielder, who can just follow the single ball in with his vision.
That being said, and getting back to the humor, yeah, I bet I could catch the ball better than those physics guys any day.;)
If I've used it for 15 years without it every being compromised, why is it that nobody has ever hacked it, despite the fact that I use it in a number of places?
Well, since you asked:
Luck.
That's the only reason. Think of everything you'll lose when your luck runs out.
I have a question.

If he can get a 26 mile range out of 802.11, well, how? I can understand that that's the top range with an amazing directional antenna, and if you amplify it, maybe it doesn't have to be directional. But how does the signal from the laptop (and the amazingly sissy antenna) reach the 26 mile ranged base station?
Flame away, if you want. I'm actually curious now. =)
Nah. You have no math skills. The backups combined can put through 500 million gallons/day. The city as a whole uses 750 million gallons/day. I think we can shut off the car washes and not die of thirst on 50 gallons/day/person.;p
Lets say you reverse-flow some of the testing pipes.
Yes, lets. The flow pressure is enough to feed buildings 12 stories high without pumping. Good luck reverse flowing against that kind of presure over a billion gallons/day.
And go ahead and dump in and infect whatever you want... the water is chlorinated/flourinated and everything outside and in between after all of your happy little maintenance hatches. What, you think we drink the fish poop too?
Oh yeah. And come up with your own insults at the end. I've come to believe my six month old puppy is far brighter than you. =)

So then buy it in two or three years, and invest the money you would have spent on doing it now. This is about as basic as buisness sense gets. =)
You said:
So what do you propose? Tax information residing on a private computer?
He said:
If you ask me they should hire 20 people, buy no computers and enter all the information on index cards.
Hello?
Is that how it works?
Best Buy HQ: We just lost $500,000!
Best Buy VP: Hm. We must find somewhere to make that money back...
Best Buy HQ: We have an idea.
Store XQ53R Manager: Hey you, stock boy, give us a dollar, eh?
Nah. It doesn't work like that.
Of course I can. I'm part of the screwed up society they sing about. What, you think that songs are created out of the blue? Er, as it turns out, they're often about things.
Um. Okay, see, kit cars aren't usually (very rarely) modeled after, as you call them, "real" cars.
Why is a kit car not real?
Do you think that major automobile makers own the IP rights to a car? Why would making a kit car be illegal?
Oh, forget it.
Okay, call me a troll if you want, but if you think good grades are a reward, you might rethink your education.

Actually, on one computer at work, I use the high contrast white scheme. Because the poor 2000 server happens to have a B&W monitor.

Heh. Uh, well... exceptions to the rule... *mutter*

Erm.
Well, you see, uh...
Oh well. Maybe he got it on with the UPS guy's girl, or something.

I juggle.

No, not making a large lake. There's a former reservoir (now inactive) there already. Don't worry about a link, check a map. ;)
