The name comes from Banks. During US expantion in the 1800's, Banks held a lot of cash and were the only buildings in town to be built with "bricks and mortar".
Does anyone know how to disable the page file in Win 2000? I know how to do it in XP, but it seams that 2k must run with a page file. Just wondering is anyone knew of a registy key or something that will let me turn it off.
Good luck finding it, I bought mine 6 years ago and still have it next to me. It unfolds to a full size plyers and can do almost anything I want. Only downside is that it doen't have a philips head.
At work people laughed at me becouse I don't like florecent light, so if you can "see" the flicker, then don't have any around (I twisted the ones around me to disconnect them).
At home I have a small halogen desklight that is behind my 21". I turn it on at night and it iluminates my desk and the area around the monitor so your not looking at a bight monitor with darkness behind it.
I was driving down A3 in Germany and a smart was behind me, some idiot in the left lane (going atleast 120m+) clipped the smart and it flew in the air and landed on the roof upside down. This all happened right behind me - don't know what happen to the driver of the smart.
You really can't say that GDP is down 40%, becouse those figures back then were made up. It's just like unenployment was 0% - simpliy not true. (althow much more people had jobs then than now)
You know, I would have said the same, but I would have chosen it for simplicity - it's the first eq. that you learn at school and the most popular one. Not something like e^(i*pi)+1=0, that is just something to show off with. Or E=mcc, ask those people what the C is for.
I live overseas and inside the envelope there is a letter that says you have the option to fax in your ballot, but you must sign the waver about the secret ballot. BUT you can mail the thing in and you have the secret option.
It's quite obvious that it's not some crazy conspiracy, if you fax in you must also incude your voter card (or else someone will do a DoS attack) The mail in letter is unique and could be easly identified as a fourge.
My buddie and I had a prank on a guy in high school. I took a VCR tape and open it up placed a bunch of stapes, nails and whatever else I could find inside (stapes fit perfectly on the tape) I wrote on the lable that it was some crazy porn.
Well I forgot the tape at home. I come home and my parents are waiting for me - They were pissed and wanted to know what was on the tape. I told them it was a joke, and whated to know why they were so pissed... "Becouse our VCR is broken now"
Mind you this was one of those expencive Sony Milti-system VCR's.
What is more intresting is that the 12.3t was stolen, "t" in the IOS name means "technology", that is where new features are introduced into the code (like the odd kernel numbering), but a lot of companies run the t IOS becouse that is the only place you can get all the features that Cisco advertizes.
Cisco has a book just on the naming convention of IOS - and the book is pretty thick.
The company I work for in Florida was cheap and didn't want to buy UPS for each desktops - so around 3pm every day during the summer we would just start to goof off - Until they bought the UPS.
Becouse in Germany you are not allowed to cover your licence plate with anything. What pissed me off in Florida is how temp licence plates are a cheap paper and people place them behind a tinted window inside the car. What do you do when the car hit and runs you?
As a side note I saw the company who does the image recognition software at CeBIT - they guy was showing it off and it's quite impressive (from a technical view)
Think about this. America stands for capitalism and free trade (almost). So when a company wants to buy rubber balls for mice it would make sence to buy the best quality for the cheapist right?
Same thing with workers. Back five years ago people said that all the Indians should go back to their country - And they did. Taking all what they learned about busness and ideas with them.
Now this was all part of a planed idea - How else do you help another country than to educate it's workforce and let it become more competitive on the global scale?
Think about the posts on/. about the mobile internet labs in India - cool idea right? - bringing Internet to the farmers and other who would not have access normaily. Same with jobs - it's about giving access to jobs in other countries. And bring up a middle counsumer class, raising the quality of life.
Americans insted of thinking that they are the Best and Only country in the world should really open their eyes and look around them.
As for Americans becomming more competitive you have to think - What do *I* have to offer that someone else does not. IT is not the answer to fast cash anymore. Sorry. You also have to remeber that fellow Americans are also your compititon.
Some Ideas:
Learn a language. Knowing of only English is good if you plan to work for a small shop. But knowlage of Indian or Russian or something else can help you when that forgien Boss comes to make a bussness deal.
Learn something that makes you diffrent. Learn Cobal or some old language that people have forgoten - You have to remeber that there a lot of old systems out there (banks) and they pay good money if you know them. I'm sure that I could find 500 MCSE/C++/Peal programmers in 10 minutes.
Travel. If you plan to work with a global company then knowing about the little things can help when you meet peole from those places.
Think Global. The world does not evolve around the USA anymore. Busness is about the bottom line and could easly hire an ad agancy to make it look like they are form the US.

Your forgetting that there was no google back then!

And if you can use a LCD or a laptop.

It's not just military, there is quite a large popluation of americans living overseas that have little with the military and vote absontee

Are you near Gdansk? I'm thinking about starting a small firm here.
Next time you use Microsoft's Word Troll Wizard make sure you fill out all the fields.
I heard what when you own IBM stock you can get the thinkpads via a special store - do you know any details about this?
That's nothing.

This was one of my main reasons of getting 802.11b at home. I tried to use the same reason when trying to get my boss to get 802.11b at work.
For some reason no one wants to touch my laptop now...
If you want a good service check out runbox.com - they are 100% MS free!
He's using Linux - what would you expect, he can't get spellcheck to work.
Hmm - stores like this is the only reason I go to slashdot - not for the RIAA and MS bashing.

My friend in Poland gets his internet cut every now and then.
The reason, people steel the cables and sell them on the black market.
