I was wrong about the french. However the spanish NVI appears to parallel the NIV, and i'd imagine would be pretty good candidates for this sort of analysis.
The 30 UK days didn't include any of them. But the total of 32 days included xmas and new year - but not any bank holidays which we didn't observe (in general comapnies in scotland do not).
I dont really care too much if it shows local postage only, since (generally) a seller that charges fair local postage will also charge fair international postage.
Or at least have an option so you can display search results as total price including postage.
I'm so sick of seeing "bargains" on ebay which are $1 with $16 postage.
Personally i'd love it if they had a filter for "Items which start at 1c with no reserve" so that i can filter out all the businesses who simply retail on ebay.
The problem with textbooks is that i know i've been coerced into buying books because i need one set of questions off of one page for a course.
If i could have looked at 3 pages online then i'm sure i could have at least avoided one or two books.
The sad fact is that textbooks are a bit like albums. Most have a few interesting bits, but it's mostly filler to make it 700 pages thick and justify the price. It's rare to find an entirely useful textbook.
Hmmm i moved from the UK to the US (with the same company) and didn't notice much difference in my paid vacation.
In the UK i got 30 days + xmas and new year
In the US i get 16 days + MLK Day + Memorial Day + Presidents Day + Independence Day + Day after Independence day + Labor day + Thankgiving + Day after thanksgiving + 5 days for xmas and new year.
UK Total 32 days US Total 29 days
Plus once i hit 8 years of service i'll get another week, bringing the us total to 34.
Now i rather the european model of not giving you pointless days here and there, and actually giving you enough to take a 1 month break every year... but that's just me.
May not be the same everywhere but i'm looking at another US company that's going to offer me 30 total.
I've often wondered what the point of encrypting customer information is if it's part of an online system.
I've often heard the suggestion that websites should encrypt their user database, which is great except for the fact that (sparing hardware encryption devices) they must also store the key. Hence anyone that steals the data can help themselves to the key too.
Surely its much better to keep the information on a secure backend system and have a closed interface for webservers to talk to it?
In principle SWT is faster the AWT or Swing, but not by a huge amount. The way an application is coded probably makes a far bigger difference to performance.
Swing apps are now directx/opengl accelerated which imho has made a pretty big difference, and done a fair bit to level the playing field.
I'm a little biased since i've been very impressed with Nb 4.0. Older versions were definitely slower than eclipse but 4.0 seems every bit as responsive.
I know the class below me at Edinburgh Uni had a project which involved writing thier own P2P app.
P2P Apps are a great learning experience in socket programming, distributed systems, threading and many other skills that do transfer into other areas.
However if this stuff doesn't relate to your major then i fail to see why it should be taught. Regardless of how paradigm-shifting some people think p2p is - it's just a new way to use an old technology. And unless you study CS, Law, or some relevant social science then it's not what you (or your government) are paying for you to go to uni for.
I'm a couple of years out of college and working for a largish tech company.
I had a recruiter at a smaller company ask me if i'd be prepared to work for $18k less than i'm making now AND add an extra hour to my commute. Does anybody accept that kind of offer?
We need this research to be done, and the high cost and long period of turn before returns will be seen make it more unlikely to happen in the private sector.
Also I believe this type of research should be done openly and for the benifit of mankind. I'm sure if a pharmaceutical giant funds it then it'd be pretty well encumbered by patents.
Unfortunately the vonage software wont be able to see the cable modem mac... only the mac of it's default gateway. I know i've used a few different routing set-ups here, but for most people that would work.
I realize that ARP is used to convert between IPs and MACs, but ARP is a local protocol and it doesn't traverse your cable modem.
Can you find the MAC address for www.google.com - of course not since it's (probably) not on your local network segment.
You can use MAC addresses for security on a LAN. Ie some wireless routers let you only permit certain MAC addresses, but across the internet you'd have to embed the mac address in the packet - which defeats the point.
The music appears to be yours to keep for $5/month. It's not CDs so the music is less portable, but on the upside you can access it from any (windows:() computer and you can't scratch it to the point that it's unplayable.
My point is that renting an unlimited collection of music is cheaper than the INTEREST on the investment in buying a half-decent cd collection.
Imagine ford came out with a plan that let you rent any new ford for $50/month, and every time a new model came out they'd change yours at no extra cost. Would you be standing there saying "but i dont own the car, i'm happy to pay $20,000 up front to know that it's always going to be mine"!?
But my point was that paying $5 a month is the same as a $1500 capital investment in CDs.
Unlike with itunes, if the Y! format becomes obsolete then you can start subscribing to unlimted music from one of their competitors. Granted Musicmatch and Raphsody are more expensive right now, but that should change.
It's a little similar to the dvd-by-mail companies. Netflix offer the fastest turnaround for me, but if that changes then i'll start renting my dvd collection from blockbuster. For the most part i'll be able to watch all the same movies, they'll just come from somewhere else.

I believe it's key that in the situation of
Ancient Lang A -> Modern Lang B -> Modern Lang C
that B and C will be far closer than
Ancient Lang A -> Modern Lang B
Ancient Lang A -> Modern Lang C
Many bible translations aren't made from the original languages but from other modern language versions.
Thus, i'd expect you'd find, a french translation of the NIV, which is quite a modern translation in the first place.
This is also a somewhat flaky definition.
I'm might be considered a passive shareholder through my 401(k) holdings, but I can assure you that JP Morgan is probably pretty active on my behalf.
And of course i expect to see decent returns on my 401(k), which puts pressure on them to have companies run profitably.
Yeah it's fairly good. I do get 16 flex days instead of 11 because of 5 years of service.
But i feel i'm comparing apples to apples since it's the same "generous" company in both cases, and a very similar position.
The 30 UK days didn't include any of them. But the total of 32 days included xmas and new year - but not any bank holidays which we didn't observe (in general comapnies in scotland do not).
Sure that's a BIG number, but ultimately $5000 is worth 2.5 weeks of my time which is hardly an earth-shattering amount.
I suppose they do price themselves out of the water for smaller apps, but assuming this can run large apps correctly then it could save a LOT of cash.
Costs about the same as cable and i get 3Mb down/1Mb up and my own fixed IP.
Best of all i'm supporting a local company and their tech support people are actually TECHNICAL - something that's lost on comcast.
Weird,
I've bought and sold things internationally and never had any problems.
The better international buyers use paypal and have fedex show up at your place to collect the package.
I dont really care too much if it shows local postage only, since (generally) a seller that charges fair local postage will also charge fair international postage.
I didn't know there was actually an option to do this. I've virtually stopped using ebay because of this problem.
The weird thing is that by letting sellers away with this, ebay not only piss off buyers but end up costing themselves a lot in potential income.
Or at least have an option so you can display search results as total price including postage.

Granted that was from their marketing dept, but it sortof stuck.

Teach them how to write P2P systems.

You can use MAC addresses for security on a LAN. Ie some wireless routers let you only permit certain MAC addresses, but across the internet you'd have to embed the mac address in the packet - which defeats the point.
Your VOIP provider cannot see your mac address.
MAC's (as most know them) are used on ethernet which is a local network.
Once your packets leave your Lan the mac address is irrelevant and should be discarded.
Now some VOIP systems might use the same address as some sort of an identifier, but to do so they must send it over TCP/IP.
Posting a bond requires some way of putting cash up front and it's not trivially easy to keep opening bank accounts.
