First, this does not work. IF the thing went down once it does not compe up again.
And what do you do when the network card is down? Send a message ove the, uhm, network??
It is irrelevant if the switch seldomly loses power (mine does) or if someone plugs out a cable once in a while or whatever. The card should work, period. Having to write scripts to check for a broken card is total friggin tripe, now matter how "easy" it is.
Typical Slashdot answer. You understand that most people do NOT want to check their server every once in a while to check if the bloody NIC is still working?
And use a hell of a complicated solution to solve the problem? Whart happens if you like using stokc diso kernel for some reason and there the NIC is not modularized? What happens if you want to use a specialized kernel for you machine with ALL the drivers built in because it is, well, faster??
And no, you cannot use the network to warn you of the problem either...
Actually, the real solution is use a fscking NIC that just works. And Via Rhine is not that NIC. Actually, neither is the Realtek 8169 under 2.4
Why must Unix and FOSS whackos always use the complicated answer to simple damn questions?
Read "Armageddon" by Max Hastings about the military effectiveness of the Allied forces. Its really a riveting read. Lets just say that the Allies broke out of Normandy and took Paris and Belgium in 3 months. But when the Germans got their stuff together it took another year to end the war because the allies were, to put it simply, idiots.
Probably because they don't want their customers to simply edit the freakin invoices! If you have you own corporate design and it has to look the same always (like an invoice) PDF is the only way to go.
If the bluetooth device is a PDA they can do the virtual equivalent of what the Germans do: The ticket here already contains a pre-filled in Bank Transfer form. Just fill in your own account details, theirs is there already, so is the amount.
With a PDA with a browser this might just be viable.
Resolution is a reltive thing. The systems that exposes on photopaper has a lower DPI than an injek printer, but they work like a video display: each pixel's intensity can be varied, betwwen 0 and 100% in fine steps. An inkjet printer cannot do this, it can only drop a blob of ink somewhere. It has to simulate the varying per pixel with dithering, so the effective resolution is not the same.
Inkjet prints are quite expensive as well.
As for scanning your negs, that also has to do with the fact that a laser that goes to expose each "pixel" on the photopaper is a different optical system than a single enlargment lens and it is much easier to compensate from some of the abberationsof enlargment lens systems. It is easier to keep the exposure sharp in the corners for instance.
Eclipse is very fast on Windows. On my 3.5 Ghz Athlon 64 the 32 bit version of Eclipse running on a normal JDK is waaaaay ffaster than the 64 bit native compiled (with GJC) on Linux. The problem is that SWT totally sucks in Gtk. The Windows port of SWT is pretty fast though.
Eclipse on my Linux machine is totally unusable, on the identical machine in Windows it is very smooth. But then, Gtk on Linux is goddamn horrifyingly bad in general.
Eclipse is also quite Ok on my 1.5 Ghz Powerbook (which is generally quite slow
Well, in München (where BMW's HQ is) all the cop cars are BMW. They are better priced here, but hell, tayes are not the only thing, they are also made here so you have less transport costs and such things.
What makes you open source freak whackos think you can force your favorite toys down everyone's throats in the first place?? They are your users, and they will use whatever they damn please to get their job done. They do not exist for youur convenience, you exist for theirs.
There are quite a few markedup versions of old Will's works.
If you buy the XML Bible (definite must if you work in this field) the CD that comes with the book has all the works of shakespeare as well as some other goodies. The Bible and Koran and a few other religious books, for instance.
The mac is also much smaller than the crippled PC, but then I built a Shuttle XPC for a friend the other day and it had an Athlon 64 in and it was still cheaper than a Mac, with a original a copy of Windows to boot.
All SLR's have problems with ultra wide angle lenses. The best to go here is a Voigtlaender 15mm with a dedicated body which you can pick up on EBay for about $250. Very nice little toy that.
Rangefinders such as Voigtlaender are making a ocmback in the film world and their wide angle lenses are pretty damn good.
Christ, you really made my day... Now if they can get those things to work over IP then we really have something to send to the goddamn spammers. I suppose the reverse is true as well.
Yeah and the sweet part is that people from Germany cross the Swiss border to fill up because gas is so cheap there!
On the other hand, my GF recently switched jobs from Germany to Switzerland because the pay (for about 15% more work) is more than double, and the taxes are lower. And the bureucracy is less.

Yes, and if anyone writes ANY documenttation for prototype I am sure lots of pwople WOULD use it.
I agree there. Lotus Notes is and always has been a very good workflow, mail and colllaboration system. It is not very good at anything else though.
Thhe problem is exactly that "pretty" part in the webappp. That is an issue if you site need to have some kind of actual coorporate design, as quite often it does. Notes is great for small internal dev apps if nobody cares too much about the looks and its great for quick jobs. I once wrote a app for sommeone to upload a set of files with comments while I was on the phone and the chick was very seriously impressed.
As for the normal Notes client, I am not convinced that it belongs in the User Interface Hall of Shame (where it occupies a honorary position). Lotus Notes's interface is somewhat different fromm amyn other (and its the only thing that look like crap on my Mac) but in general its really not that bad and it has some very good iideas. Not if only the iidiiots would let you select alll the doocuments in a category by clicking next to the twisty...
If you develop for the Notes cllient in the collaboaration space Notes is fine. Using it for most others things is a bit of a disaster though, and that is sadly what happenns to it.
And I have nothing to say except negative things as to the friggin need to BUY a plugin to SEARCH your codebase. What else do they want, buying a plugin to display on the screen??!! Searching your code should comms standard and iits s damn shame because Notes already has a very good search engine built in. Notes has quite a few quirks like that, things that should have been obvious but not put in, the whole API seems to be a set of hacks appended to a non-too-bad base.
If you have a query , say form="member" and age > 40 this is farily easy, but you still have to build a special purpose view to iterate through the docs.
Also, there is no equivalent of a join in Notes, and if you have, say transaction docs for each person eacch of the transaction docs need to actually store the member's name if you ever want to display the transaction docs listed by surname in a view.
There is no way to loookup this info inn another doc in a view, unlike SQL.
This is so dumb I have diffiiculty to begin too express it.
One thing about Notes that is pretty good is the replication system though
Holy mother of Jesus. I have to program that heap of tripe for years now. And my boss decided to write a large system in Notes with a mathematics student and I had to take the project over. The last five years have been hell.
Notes's web part is not too bad and its unbeatable for putting up a really quick form for people to use if the looks are not too important but the database is utterly atrocious.
the other problem with Notes is the horrifying development environment. You cannot, for instance, search your code and while it throws out line numbers in errors you cannot see them! And it does crap like no functionn (despite being in different modules) mmay have the same name in a system. The linker does not work. It does not support CGI hheaders properly. And you have to predefine ANY search through the database, there is no dynamic query language like SQL. This is probably the worse part of the whhole piece of shit.
Notes as a mail system is not too bad however. It really handles the case where mmails are not sent correctly quite well, because it remembers the mail it send in a database.
The notes client itself is not too bad, there are things it does OK.
Anyways, stay away. Far, far away. Don't be like me and be trapped in this cesspool of horror.

Reflecting the UV beam is not going to reflect the electricity. Its still going to hit.
However, a smokescreen will actually stop this weapon unlike, say, a bullet.

You understand that they speak hordes of languages?
