I worked under the theory that the networks were designed to provide the best signals to the truckers, so I tended to park closer to the truck section.
It just so happens that my GF works at a Flying J. She just confirmed to me that they locate and point their WiFi antennas to give the best reception to the truckers in the truck lot.
Also, she tells me that (as would be expected) that the best reception is inside of the building. A fair number of truckers carry laptops and take them inside.
This sounds a bit like those tales pr0n stars tell about how much it sucks (no pun intended) to work in that business.
Sure, you get to fuck a lot of really hot women, but you have to work long (no pun intended) hours under adverse conditions, and if you fail just once you might never get another job in that business.
I don't think that most of us would expect the video game business to be well, all fun and games, we expect that like most jobs there will be aspects to it that supremely suck ass.
People who want to work in that business have a pretty good idea of what to expect. Though I'll concede that reality can be even more harsh than what they expect.
Depends on the state that you're in. In Pennsylvania, where I am, an employer can fire you for refusing to work OT. I guess this is an artifact of they days when most of the jobs here were Unionized industrial labor.
When I got hired by my last employer, during the interview they asked me why I was leaving the employer before them. My answer included the fact that they had been forcing us to work OT. I was told that the new employer never did this. 8 months later, they did exactly that. Forced OT.
My advice is civil disobediance. Show up for the OT and do as little work as you can get away with.
1. Turn the culprit in. 2. Collect SCO's reward. 3. Give the money to the OSDL SCO defense fund.
WHAT?!
Lemme tell you something. I'd get a bigass Winnebago and I'd get "SCO SUCKS" airbrushed onto the sides of it. I'd then proceed to camp out across the street from SCO headquarters.
I've done a few; most of the time I plan to reinstall and migrate the data over anyway.
I always keep in mind that it might be necesssary to reinstall. My procedure always starts with booting into safe mode and removing all of the devices. Also keep in mind that you will need a PS2 KB, for those times when you need to key through the installation of the drivers for the onboard USB. I know you know this, but for the benefit of someone who might be reading and hasn't done this...
So in the end we put the drive back in the old box.
You're lucky that worked. In my experiences, when you try the old HD swap and things don't work, the device drivers usually end up getting b0rked and going back to the old machine doesn't work too well.
But in the end, you just gotta do what works at the time.
I recently upgraded my GF's computer from an K62-500 to a Duron 700. New MB, new RAM, had a few problems getting Windows to recognize the devices on the MB. But all in all, not too bad.
He is no different than the ultraconservatives who protest against music.
People are afraid to speak against him because they will quickly be labeled as "antisemites" for daring to criticize some asshole who happens to be Jewish.
Don't take it from me, read what another Jew has to say about him.
I hope that Maher Arar sues the pants off of the US Government.
I consider myself to be loyal to American ideals, but the treatment of Mr. Arar is enough to inspire someone to become a terrorist.
Imagine being this man's child. Your father disappears for nearly a year and when he is returned to you, he is a shadow of his former self. 40 pounds lighter, limping and unable to get a peaceful night's sleep.
This is unacceptable. I didn't donate a cent to and of the "9-11" charities, but if Mr. Arar was to set up some kind of fund I think I would contribute to pay his lawyers to sue my government.
Don't bother me to let me know about your newest sale on face cream. But by all means if you discover that I have bought something that may KILL ME, please violate my privacy and tell me about the recall.
Sure send an email to "postmaster@fbi.gov" and ask to host your child porn in their server farm.
You'll be amazed at how quickly they provide you with support. In fact, if you're lucky they'll send some of their field sales reps straight to your house to work out a deal.
He noted that for every 10 high potential artist a major label promotes, only 1 makes it. Typically, it costs a large label around 1 million to promote, pay, and produce a single artist (I once worked for a label, I can confirm this).
Artists get paid out of the profits from the sale of their material. The record companies don't really spend any money to pay them.
Artists have to pay back the label for studio time, recording materials, promotional material, costs of album fabrication, lawyers fees, and a half dozen other things before they see one cent of the money from their music.
A great example of this was what "Tribe Called Quest" went through, their album "Low End Theory" sold over 2 million copies, after taxes and the record company's cut they got about 35 thousand dollars.
At the time, CDs were selling for about $15 each, and cassettes were going for about $10 each. So let's make a few assumptions. Let's round the sales figure down to an even 2 million units. Let's also assume that they only sold cassettes. 2 million copies of a $10 product. This translates to $20 million. Let us also assume the record company paid $1.50 for each of the cassettes. That leaves $17 million. Let's say $4 million for studio time, production, and promotion. $13 million. Of that, less than $1 million actually went to the group, but let's round up to an even million.
In this case, $12 million dollars is the minimum amount of money that the label pocketed from the hard work and determination of their artist.
The point that I am making here is that Steve Jobs doesn't know too much about the recording business.
ATI's software gives you access to local TV listings and schedules. The software that comes with the card allows you to capture to MPEG2 so that you can burn it straight to DVD.
Several months before I got the card, I used my grandfather's ReplayTV to record a show that was on at 4:00am and later I took my PC to his house and captured the movie with my ATI card and WHAM I now have a DVD of the movie.
I don't have a problem with RFID in the cases. As soon as my package of razors or whatever is taken out of the case, it is no longer trackable by RFID.
No privacy problems there, just inventory management.
Like I said, Jakub pissed me off. I'm not running for office here. I have no obligation to remain civil when dealing with someone who has intentionally drawn my ire.
Let me quote from the article.
Sniper rifles suck
There, I said it. Deal with it. Let me say it again ? sniper rifles suck. Don?t like it? Tough, because odds are that if you?re annoyed, you don?t have the skills to use any other weapon. So go back to humping the dirt in Call of Duty or camping the bridge on de_aztec with all your l33t skill.
Jakum insulted me and those like me. He deserves no civility from me. I said he was an asshole before, and I'm saying it again now. Basically his "article" amounts to a three page rant at how current FPS games are not Quake anymore.
Quake was great. I will always have a fond nostalgia for it, but it is also the past. 16 people having a gibfest with a bunch of rocket launchers is a thing of the past.
He also bitches at length about how in Warfare, half of the people aren't snipers.
CS is a Counter-Terrorism mod. The FBI HRT and numerous SWAT departments make use of large numbers of snipers when there is a terrorist incident.
For the record, the M4 is my favorite primary weapon in CS. But I understand that the Scout and AWM have their place as well. Don't like getting sniped? Learn to use flashbangs and smoke.
By Sharman and then the makers of the Matrix trilogy.
Morpheus is back on FastTrack, according to MP3NewsWire, tapping into it and the other leading networks through a beta of the NEOnet technology in the just-released version 4.
Besides, ever worked on labs that _really_ need to do serious number crunching (hint, hint)? They swear by IBM. PC clusters are a joke, Macs even more so.
What? Do you think that NCSA doesn't do "serious number crinching" with THIS? Guess what? They're Dells, powered by Intel Silicon.
How about Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory it's running a linux cluster with 1,116 nodes.
One of his core business models for furthering the bio-informatics idea was to contact IBM and get them to design CPUs that would optimize the algorithms for certain vector and matrix operations. And he had enough information from IBM contacts who confirmed that if the idea proved viable, they would do so.
Next are you going to tell us that this guy works in the "Double '0'" section of the British Secret Service?
IBM has made some revolutionary discoveries in microprocessor design. IBM is still one of the most innovative companies out there. IBM still produces some serious Big Iron, but let's not over state it.
