At the end of the day, inventory gets taken and if items sold don't match up to cash in registers, there's a problem.
A manual inventory is taken at best, monthly. Sure, the registers keep a perpetual inventory that's used to decide when to order more stock, etc. but it won't reveal any physical discrepencies (like one ipod being gone)
Who knows, maybe Target takes inventory every single night for their electronics, etc... If so, I apologize
...it would have been a simple matter of looking at the security tapes and seeing who the offender is.
Having no clue who you were looking for, or what register to watch, etc... it would take hours upon hours of review to catch this guy... I mean, it's not like they could look at the electronic journals from the cash registers and see an entry for "Re-Barcoded iPod.......... $4.99"
In the case of the lady riding the bicycle (see parent) they just had to review the exit door tapes, which would've been a much easier task.
In short, Target's lucky the security guard recognized the kid, and put 2 & 2 together...

In the case of residential services, we'll basically place an order for the ILEC to take the twisted pair and punch it down to a "cross connect" pannel which is wired to our equipment.
Depending on the capacity we need at that collo, we'll range from several T1s up to a DS3 to do the long haul back to our CO...
As someone else pointed out, we're the ones providing the dialtone.
Leased loops are not going away. The telcos still have to provide access to the dry copper going out to customer locations. This ruling simply says that the telcos no longer have to provide the actual service on these copper pairs. I can see how in some areas this will be devastating. The company I work for, fortunately, has enough vision that they've seen this coming. For the past several months we've been implementing a solution using Ciena networks equipment that will allow us to continue providing dial tone as well as DSL to formerly resold SBC and Bell South customers. Basically instead of the copper getting plugged into SBC / Bell South equipment it is physically moved into our collo equipment. This is actually better for our company, leasing a copper pair is far less expensive than just reselling DSL or local phone service, and it gives us the opportunity to grow into new service areas and offer price points we weren't able to meet previously.
Also, we've obtained a $100 million grant to develop fiber networks in three cities, over which we will be able to provide data, voice, and television services...
This ruling is just a kick in the arse of the small telcos who have been skimming profit from the large ones by just reselling service (they've been able to do this for around 5 years now)
As someone else said, the teat is being taken away, it's time for the small telcos to stand on their own two feet and invest in their own infrastructure...
Nope, not origami... interesting models, but by cutting the paper, gluing, etc. They have gone beyond the limits of traditional origami into just "paper craft" as the website says.
"I've got stacks of books collecting dust, but I don't consider that a flaw in the books themselves."
I'm not saying the games are flawed, after all, at one point I was interested enough to purchase them. They were entertaining -- for a while. My complaint is lack of story depth. When you only get to make three or four story influencing choices in the whole game, it rapidly becomes boring.
if it works... I have stacks of games sitting around the house, for anything ranging from Nintendo up to the PSOne, that I dont' play anymore due to the lack of depth. It sounds like this might be the solution we've been waiting for. Granted, I'll still have to go and buy new games to use this technology, but at least I won't be able to play them all the way through 3 or 4 times and be completely bored by them:) Go AI
It's nice to see some elegant code in this world of bloated redundant code... Is it me or does it seem that open source is written much more elegantly? Is this just because we can actually see the source:) I'd sit in a corner rocking back and forth if I was forced to read Micro$oft code...
download the matrix teaser trailer from their webiste for months... at 1024*768 res even:)
And the original X-men movie sucked, Hulk looks good though

How about/. implements a system where by the actual article is moderated? A select group of people (chosen at random, like current moderators) are able to view the article before everyone else, and they evaluate it to decide if it's worthwhile...
Umm, i don't think so... at least I couldn't find anything on Stephen King being dead... a movie producer who directed several of his works was found dead in his (the producers, not King's) home... that'd be freaky huh:)

Think what we could do with a beowulf cluster of those (sorry, i couldn't resist)

Seriously though, it looks interesting -- the GBA is a nice little piece of hardware

Yeah, sure, the X-Men movie was cool, if you didn't mind the _millions of inconsistencies_ when compared to the comics....
Granted, most comics/turned movies are like that, but X-Men showed a blatent disregard for the timelie of that universe
right about the same time too... hmm, some kind of cosmic joke?
Here's the address for the hi-res trailer, need quicktime installed to view.

Oh wait, they're called editors...
But seriously, I think this would be a good idea
theoretically it would be possible with anything serving udp packets... good thing the only packets that go out of my box are tcp/ip :)
