Indeed. You're not legal if you buy a copy of Leopard. It shouldn't let you sleep any better, as you're still breaking the law.
Yada yada mid size tower, yada yada I want to upgrade. Yada yada I can build XYZ for ABC less than what Apple charges.
Tough. At the end of the day to be legit you've gotta pony up the cash for the MacPro, accept the non-upgradability of the iMac or Mac Mini, or not run the software./me waits for the obligatory "or buy a Mac laptop!" reply, so to reply to you before you reply: you missed the point. Entirely.
Honestly, a piece of paper is a piece of paper - it matters far less than you'd think where it comes from - only if you have one.
Go with whichever school is cheaper - the HR droid is going to look whether you have a degree or not, that will lead to getting the interview, and the interview is what leads you to your job (unless one of the schools is Ivy league, then you're in an entirely different situation).
When you graduate with a significantly smaller student loan debt you'll thank me.
Take the $90 and write it off at the end of the year. Your accountant will know how to handle it.
Not getting your sales tax break at the time of purchase still allows you to get that money back at the end of the year, the government just gets to hold onto it for a while which is admittedly annoying.
When I started here (a brokerage) I was fingerprinted, criminal background check, a financial background check/credit report, etc. Be thankful if all she gets is fingerprinted - there are more intrusive things they will want to know down the road.
It's part of working in the financial world. Everybody gets pissy when it comes to money, and the company needs to protect itself. Before you get bent out of shape about the company wanting to cover its ass, how would you feel if you were the head of compliance - the one that would end up in a orange jump suit if these things weren't done and something evil did happen?
After recently moving to Chicago I've become quite used to utilizing the CTA's trip planner, which also accounts for the maintenance work to tracks and bus schedule changes.
My major concern would be that if the CTA's database is private, Google will not be able to ascertain that, and with all mapping software there will be huge problems with the data being up to date. What's the benefit of this over what's already out there? Is there a major city that doesn't already have a trip planner set up on their own?
What about legitimate companies who get listed by Dpamhaus, Spamcop, SPEWS, etc?
All these do is make it a hassle to get removed from the list, even when you take the necessary steps required (jumping through loops is an understatement for some, especially SpamHaus).
Yes I work for a web host company. Yes we have anti-spam AUPs. Yes we still believe people when they call for a sale (let's face it, cash is cash, and if a person calls you up asking for half a dozen servers you're going to be inticed, and if they fully know and agree to the polocies already in place and agree to abide by them, you really have to believe them and work with them a little).
Spamhuas even goes so far as to slander hosting companies who do have customers who send unsolicited email.
So what do we use? SpamAssassin. Kills a very good percentage of spam before our users see it, including our own accounts which have been in existance for what feels like eternity.
When Anti-spam products like these start to interfere with business, not only our own but that of our customers, I have to seriously question the merit behind them.
Yes. It really is that simple. I brought in my bill when I switched from US Cellular to Verizon, paid some fee for "processing," and was out the door within 40 minutes with my new Verizon carrier handling calls with my originally US Cellular number.
As far as avoiding RadioShack, around here (Iowa) we have a lot of Verizon shops/Technolgy Huts in the malls. They handle hookups/etc. Worth a shot I guess.
Other than that, Radio Shack is a lot better now than they were. Then again, I've never had a problem with then.
So, everybody is bitching about making a bigger cartridge than a bic lighter, and man I love to see all the engineers begin to pop up. Did anybody else stop to think that there's going to be a lot of overhead changing the powersource, and I don't know if you've noticed but a laptop doesn't exactly have a lot of room to work with, except, of course, where the battery currently sits. Perhaps a bic lighter is all the more "left over" room there was. Let's not play engineer when we don't know what we're talking about (and I'm simply proposing my thoughts, not saying this is "how it is").

I'm the head of IT for a small Financial Management company in the midwest. There are 23 computers on my network connecting to two Win2000 servers for print and file sharing. I see 99% of my entire IT budget being poured into Microsoft.
Look at every new machine purchased. How much of that cost goes directly to Microsoft for their Operating systems and even worse their Office suite? There was an article here dealing with it, but since it's almost time to go home I'm not going to take the time to look it up exactly. It was almost 80% of new computer costs go to license your Microsoft apps. And what's really sad is we are stuck on Windows. All our mutual funds send us their prospectuses in some crappy VB program or their brochures in Word format.
So don't fool yourself with where your IT costs are going. They're going to Microsoft and the trash for all the IT people who sit and read Slashdot all day when they should be working;)
That may be true, but you'd also have a lot of overhead with the
Ada.Text_IO.Put_Line("First Post!");
Now I know you can always add the Use Ada.Text_IO; Put_Line("First Post!"); but if you were taught like I was taugh Ada (at the University of Northern Iowa you were forbidden to use the "use" clause. *Sigh* I do have to say, though, that Ada did teach me a good fundamental base, and also told me I'm _not_ a good programmer:)

The fingerprinting is only the first step.
When I started here (a brokerage) I was fingerprinted, criminal background check, a financial background check/credit report, etc. Be thankful if all she gets is fingerprinted - there are more intrusive things they will want to know down the road.

*shrug*
$350 vs $500?
I'm not convinced that's a large enough amount to warrant differentiation.
It costs the same as any smart phone.
Try buying a CrackBerry or Treo without subscribing to a plan.
Cheap ass.

Yes, but all Turing machines are of equal power. They can all be proved to solve the same problems.

Microsoft is a major corporation, and hence they've been running the government for years.
