Sure they do/did... in the IT department. The traders and researchers don't use any of that though. They use Excel, or the stuff built into their Bloomberg turrets.
Because the diesel available in the US has too much sulphur in it. The relatively high sulpur content leaves a lot of residue in these types of engine which cuts back on the fuel efficiency and greatly increases the maintenance costs.
There isn't enough Low and Ultra Low diesel to supply the US market you'd get from producing those types of cars there.
I'm not sure about bio-diesel though. There might be some possibly there, but you'd need an enormous capital investment just to get started.
There are still lots of questions about scalability of biodiesel production, transmission, distribution, delivery, etc.
A lot of people seem to think this would be really easy because, hey, you can just fill up at the local Chinese restaurant... but it's actually really hard and really expensive once you move out of the do-it-yourself arena
There had better be an easy way for web designers to tell if IE has that plugin installed or I'm going to be really pissed.
It's hard enough dealing with IE's crappy rendering... it will be so much more painful if the rendering engine in IE isn't *consistently* broken and we have no way to tell the difference in our code.
You assume the OP is renting. I own a condo with a "no mounted antennas" rule... which seems fairly common here in NY).
Just like the OP, I have a north facing apt on the bottom floor of a 3 story building... and a "no mounted antenna" policy.
Sure I could have an unattached antenna (say, on a pole in a 5-gal bucket of cement). But when you're north facing you're pretty much sol when it comes to reception.
That does not actually work all that well if you really randomize the letters. . . . . Taht deos not aalstluy wrok all taht wlel if you ralely rzaomdnie the ltertes .
You use GNU Shred to wipe all the data off. After you arrive in the US, you connect to your corporate intranet via VPN and download the stuff you need.
This makes it hard to get anything done on the plane though.
If you're really security conscious, you'll encrypt the stuff you download or you'll keep everything on the corp intranet and only have the apps on the laptop.
Oh, and make sure you set all your applications to request your password when they start up (that goes for online resources too). Otherwise they can easily browse to your email just by turning on your machine.
No, this is the "good" treatment. If they think you might be Bin Laden's favorite then they disappear you and you're never heard from again (Except maybe in a show trial with secret evidence and/or information they acquired by torturing you)
To the average worker in a middle-to-large company, Windows is free and Linux is expensive
Windows comes preinstalled on most workstations. If anything breaks, the helpdesk will fix it
With Linux, you have to decide which of the many varients to use, download it yourself, install it yourself, and if anything goes wrong you have to try and fix it yourself.
Add into the mix that most workers are already familiar with windows, but have to climb a learning curve with Linux and it seems self evident that Windows is by far the "cheaper" choice for the average office worker.
And yes, Redhat installs pretty easy and has enterprise support. Ubuntu is a pretty good desktop. Nevertheless, for the *average* worker, Windows is cheaper.
I want that too. But I also want to beat the snot out of other people with a lightsaber (and possibly force levitated objects or choking) in multiplayer.
Well, people *did*, by taking on mortgages they had no way in hell of paying. But now that the market is starting to correct that foolishness those people don't have those houses anymore.

Am I the only one that wishes they had waited until they could rescue 65,536 articles instead of 63,559?
So close... and yet so far away.

Yes, but he'll want you to send him 5,000 eyeballs and your adsense account info first.
Well then, I say they need to prove that Xenu authorizes them to act on his behalf.
You can trust noscript... but can you ever be *really* sure that their website is NOT compromised?
A smart cracker could own the site, release an "update" to the extension, then compromise lots of browsers by putting evil code in the landing page.

Where exactly? I see "apartment", but nothing about renting vs owning.

Apathy: one of the greatest gifts you can give a tyranny.
The less you get of something, the more obsessed you become. :-)
They have no defense if they can prove who made comments like that
How do you prove that John Doe made those comments and not John Doe's roommate, drunken frat brother, or someone who spoofed his MAC/IP?
Try installing the emacs extension. :-)
In the same thread he also says "So as far as I'm concerned, 'disclosing' is the fixing of the bug. It's the 'look at the source' approach."
I don't see any security by obscurity going on here. He fixes the bug, and tells you in the changelog what the bug was.
What he's NOT doing is announcing in advance how to exploit the bug.
So why are so many people getting agitated about this?

This new Lucas Arts is more in line with George's original vision. :-(
