Unpaid internships are normally associated with school credit of some kind. Some degree programs require, in addition to classroom coursework, a certian number of hours of "on-the-job" activites. I had a class in high school that required me to log a certian number of hours in the WGST newsroom. I went in and taped wire service stories from a cut sheet for on-air use. I didn't get paid money for the work I did there, but I got credit towards completing the class I was in.
As an aside, I also got my mement of "glory" when I became a "reporter" for about 30 seconds when newsroom phone rang. I answered it, and it was an out-of-state radio station calling for information concerning the then-unfolding hostage situation in Chamblee. Kenneth Noid was more than a little unhappy with Domino's advertising, and was doing something about it. The other radio station taped my run-down of the events in their story. Somewhere in the midwest, I was "Jeff May of WGST in Atlanta!"
I live in Dave Weldon's district in Florida. I wrote him this short message tonight:
I write to voice my opposition to HR3261, the so-called "Database and Collections of Information Misappropriation Act" which just cleared the House Judiciary Committee.
It is unclear to me why this bill is required when the services that would benefit, such as LexisNexis, already have terms of service agreements that limit the users' ability to reproduce contents of the database.
I am of the belief that passing bills to look proactive, like the Patriot Act of 2001 and the Database and Collections of Information Misappropriation Act of 2004, is an abuse of congressional power and cheap politics.
Please vote NO when this bill comes up for a vote.
Before Harris sold it to JetBlue, they developed LiveTV, a system to bring DirecTV to airliners in-flight. The receiver includes a phased array antenna that scans in elevation while sitting on a gimble that allows the beam to be scanned in azimuth.
Phased arrays use lots of power, but that's because each antenna element in the array requires its own amplifier(s) and phase shifter (or time delay unit). Fortunately, those amplifiers cam be much smaller than the monolithic amplifier required to drive a dish (since the signals from each amplifier in the array are summed together).
I've used it for about four years now. Works fine.
No, there's no Linux version, but I use my wife's Win98SE PC for it and it takes me less than an hour to go through everything and print out the forms. It's a free download for the basic version, but if you buy a house or need forms not included with the free download the more complete version they sell is quite reasonably priced.
No, the tax laws and forms change every year. Our beloved congressmen can't leave well enough alone, and change the tax laws (usually for the worse or more arcane) annually. Hence the need for new tax software every year.
This was true originally but in the past 3-5 years the dual-channel GPS feeds were combined into one accurate feed. Now your handheld GPS uses the same signal as the guys hunting Osama.
A method of processing signals in a Global Positioning System (GPS) receiver has been invented to enable the receiver to recover some of the information that is otherwise lost when GPS signals are encrypted at the transmitters. The need for this method arises because, at the option of the military, precision GPS code (P-code) is sometimes encrypted by a secret binary code, denoted the A code. Authorized users can recover the full signal with knowledge of the A-code. However, even in the absence of knowledge of the A-code, one can track the encrypted signal by use of an estimate of the A-code.
If you said that the signal had the same accuracy, you'd be right. It's not the same signal, and the clear C/A signal can be turned off, leaving only the encrypted signal for "Authorized" users.
It could be, of course, that there's actually some merit to Barry Setterfield's theory that the speed of light is not constant, but rather has been decreasing throughout history.

Actually, Goddard came along way before von Braun, and was one of von Braun's main influences. Goddard's published works saved the German rocket design effort years of research; von Braun even said as much when he came to the United States:
I'm sorry you're a young guy with hypertension, but a sample size of one is not statistically significant. The grandparent poster said that for a guy to be 24 and hypertensive is uncommon. Just because you're hypertensive doesn't make him wrong.
The electoral college of course cast the votes. However given the situation in Florida it can be questioned whether the electors from Florida truly represented the wishes of the voters of that State.
But they aren't supposed to represent the wishes of the voters of the state; they are supposed to represent the wishes of the legislature. It is only by historic convention and the goodwill of the legislature that the general populace votes for President in any particular state. It would be legal and constitutional for a state legislature to apportion the Electors themselves, with no direct input from the state's populace.
In any case as I said. I don't think on matters like this there is much difference between the two parties, and that is the real problem.
Each state shall appoint, in such manner as the Legislature thereof may direct, a number of electors, equal to the whole number of Senators and Representatives to which the State may be entitled in the Congress: but no Senator or representative, or person holding an office of trust or profit under the United States, shall be appointed an elector.
Gore got the majority popular vote, but popular votes don't elect presidents in the United States. They never have. It's merely a historical accident that the United States populace "votes" for president at all: it's required nowhere in Federal law.
"To pet" connotes a soft, stroking motion along the body. It is almost exclusively applied to animals, e.g. "pet the cat." The other main use is to refer to such stroking as a sexual act, e.g. "heavy petting."
So you use the verb "pat" for both meanings? The two actions seem fairly distinct to me.
Not to mention that "heavy patting" sounds like it would hurt!

If your desk faces the wall as most do, hang a piece of black burlap behind it to hide the cables behind.
Wow, you're using Mozilla 2.5? They just released Mozilla 1.6 yesterday! Glad I didn't waste my time downloading that ancient thing!

Not True. I quote:

Since it's the drive manufacturers that actually build the things...
How in the world is that flamebait? Could somebody exlpain?
Second! I have an ML-1210 and it works great with my Red Hat box. It was even a menu pick from the RH9 printer configuration tool!
(With Red Hat 7 I needed Samsung's special Ghostscript)

Without the pioneering work of Goddard, space exploration would not be nearly as advanced as it is.
Actually the Germans never set foot on the Isle of Brittain, and were effectively repelled by the English without American military intervention.
Hrm. The paper that was linked to is not well formatted for web publication. It does not wrap at all. Somebody got stuck between some [pre] tags, huh?
Don't worry about it.
As it turns out, more than one person had asked the question we'd responded to, and more than one person had answered it.
I was kinda (-1, Redundant), myself.
Cough Ximian Connector cough.
60 Hz? I bet that would hurt.
I run my work monitor at 100 Hz. Now I can't see the flicker!

That's okay. The guy I voted for didn't win either! Bush is no conservative!
