First, of course, is buyer beware. If you buy a book and find it sucks midway, a merchant shouldn't be expected to take it back either. But anyways, many stores have addressed the previewing issue with demo stations. Last week I went into Fye, saw a CD, scanned it at a listening station, and was able to sample all of the tracks on the CD. I was able to hear enough to decide to buy the CD, and was quite happy with my purchase when I listened to the full disk. If they didn't have the stations, I wouldn't of bought it. You just need to find a better record store.
"I think this is an attempt to put a good-for-the consumer spiel on something that would primarily be used by law enforcement."
I think the insurance industry would be more interested in this. That way, they can better determine cause, fault, or guilty party. Quite handy if you're innocent and being sued by the other party.
Because the tv ads, public service announcements, radio broadcasts, newspaper articles, direct mailings, marking on calendars, and recorded phone calls from the President aren't enough to remind you...Slashdot!
3) Students should not have credit cards 4) Learn the difference between want and need
Three is bad advice, four is good advice. There are some good reasons to have credit cards, so long as you use it in moderation. Having access to cash even when your broke is handy, you never know if emergency situations will come up. But there is a better reason - it builds your credit history. If you get a card in freshman year, and use it carefully, you'll graduate with 4 years credit history. Anything less than 7 years is considered 'short', and good credit means a lower interest rate. It'll also make it easier to get an apartment, buy a cell phone, and get loans later on. But of course, getting yourself deep in credit card debt (at 21%apr) is a bad idea.
4. The other applicants aren't as qualified, but can sell themselves better than you. 5. Change or expand markets.
Unemployment is under 6%, I think it's around 5%. And there are plenty of people hiring in the country, although not necessarily in IT. Of course IT was hit hardest. Over the last 4 years, there was an insane and stupid amount of spending, and nobody was seeing a good return on investment. IT should be hurting the most at this point. The economy is fine. Could be better, but fine, especially compared to other times in the US economy. The tech bubble is the chief instigator in this mess, and now things have corrected back to normal and can resume.
"so why is the prompt not [macosx:/usr/local/] now?"
It works on mine, although I'm using tcsh. What I think happened is the author just retyped the commands into his story instead of doing a direct cut-and-paste.
So does that mean jamie, roblimo, purge, michael, timothy, and jonkatz are all friends with Taco & Hemos?
I've been reading slash since either 97 or 98 (can't remember which). Lately (well, for quite a few months lately) there's been too many political & legal topics, and not enough geek.
How does one become a slashdot editor? Serious question. Is it an employee of OSDN or VA? Is it a volunteer job? Is it freelanced out? Is it someone who contributed over 1000KLOC to slash?
But then if someone takes your check card, the money they charge is temporarily taken out of your account. That's your money, not loaned money. You could end up at an ATM staring at a $0 balance instead of $500.
Your checks will probably also start bouncing if you don't check your balance that often.
If you can afford a 320GB drive, you can afford to buy a tape drive that supports more than 4Gigs.:-)
RAID is not a backup solution, it's a redundancy solution. It's fine for restoring your system if a hard drive crashes, but if you accidently delete a file RAID doesn't help fix that.
ah yes the standalone docks. The Apple Minidock has scsi and ADB (and you can do a Scsi->Ethernet adapter too). Some docks offered just scsi and ethernet, and maybe there's a dock that offers adb.

That was the arm from the original Terminator, not the Good One.
Repeat: The Tivo is not just a VCR. The Tivo is not just a VCR. The Mac is not a typewriter. The Tivo is not just a VCR.
If the arrow was 20cm to the left, wouldn't that be away from the woodsman?
my Big Brother does. Duh.
Size is not the factor in traditional hard drives when putting it in a PDA. Power consumption is.

Here's what I gathered from some of his stuff that I don't get.
...who will just pass it on to the consumer.
Increase the tax on corporations....
Why do we even tax US corporations at all?
"That is to say, one that carries penalties for those use lawsuits as a continual source of revenue."
;-)
Sounds like what lawyers do.
"You point to unemployment as a barameter"
Please point out where I make that claim.

Canada?

[coruscant:~] demaria% cd
[coruscant:/usr] demaria%
Yes. That would be a hardware problem.
That requires a followup question - Is the price of producing video games increasing or decreasing?

Yeah this is mostly a standard formality of the plantiffs asking "Do we really have to do this or can we just go home now?". Nothing unexpected. :-)
That weight is just to keep them from being stolen and keep the money protected. You could repackage the entire thing in plastic.

The Duos just have ports for power, serial (modems/printers/phonenet/etc), modem, and the dock slot.
