My favorite investment site stockchase runs on Gnu/Linux, uses Mysql, and apache. I use it to see what stocks are worth while, and which to stay away from. Then I do my purchase using firefox.
The US government is controlled by financial interests. Whether the congressmen who vote because of local financial interests, or big oil causing wars.
So I would look to cases where sites are being cracked down where the sites protest against companies in an effective way. For example the RIAA, has been able to push DMCA and DRM through, which has been a disaster for all concerned. Yet they are now able to close down sites that share keytabs for guitars, many types of filesharing that in the past were just gray are now illegal.
The batteries components are incredibly small, which when put together makes the battery more efficient then a normal battery. This is probably due to the increased surface area that the anode and cathode have per volume.
What I would like to know is if I've got a 9 volt battery size of this new battery what type of power would I get from it. What is the actual gain in efficiency that we are talking about.
While I agree that the Baroque Cycle trilogy was a more difficult read then Cryptonomicon I felt that it stood on it's own as a good and accurate historical fiction.
I thought that describing the diseases available at the time was interesting. We get kidney stones, they get bladder stones, which do not pass and will kill you.
The scene where Westinghouse is going through the flea infected rooms during the plague in order to pick up some experiment for Robert Hook was really creepy. (You could hear them ticking off your boots...)
Yes there was more to digest, and didn't have as much action/adventure it did have a fair share.
How about the intelligence test, where they were trying to get through a country. They were taken to the side one by one and shown a gun. If they knew what the gun was, they were immediately drafted into that countries army. If you were intelligent you would feign ignorance and be rejected for use in the armed forces.
There was a lot of good stuff in those books. You just can't read them over a weekend.
The latest viruses look a lot like Symatic's Antivirus, or Vista's stuff. If you don't watch carefully you can think you are updating your browser but instead are installing a virus.
As a rule I avoid Nag screens, and if I think the nag might be real, (and important) I'll google it, or type in the address myself if I know it. (Never click on the email link).
Back in the day, it seems to me that Sperry or Boughs (sp?) mainframes used their own communications system, which would drive N terminals off of one wire.
In those days, PC's could emulate several terminals, one at a time. I was with a company that did just that. But the PC's of the day would be hard pressed to handle the incoming traffic from multiple terminals.
These days with TCP/IP as the protocal to rule them all, I expect decent server would handle the same traffic as a mainframe of 20 years ago. I don't know what todays are like, but I doubt they've let them languish.
I've found that the biggest advantage for C++ is the portability. I have written an application backend for PC's (back in the days of DOS) and since then ported it through various versions of windows, Linux (for web use), Palms, and Pocket PC's.
Using C++ allowed me to very easily make the different processor needs, compatible, by writing little compatibility layers, which would swap bigend values, unpack data structures from disk into memory (so is on even boundary). and so on.
Yes the fast speed was why I originally went with the C/C++ route, but the big benefit has been the portability.
I work from home, and I can tell you that I actually work more hours now then I used to when I drove in. I gain 2 hours by not driving, and usually end up working at least one of those hours.
The worst thing about working from home, is when other people are in the house, making normal house noise. You want to tell them to shut up, but they have a right to be here as well.
The best thing is the commute. I'm also lucky that my boss is very flexible with time, and I can set my own hours. As long as I get things done he's happy. (I think I'm more of a boss to myself then he is, but it's better that way.)
I'm on a farm in the country (in Ontario) that is serviced by a "baby bell" This is a co-op where all the people on the line have a share in the company.
The neat thing about this is, Bell and Rogers and all the baby bells go to Ottawa to discuss what a proper service rate is. Rogers and Bell, present their case that it costs $$$$ to do their thing. My co-op costs $$$, but because of anti-competition rules the bigger guys their their way with $$$$ and the co-op has to have the same prices.
So I'm paying $$$$ for my phone service. BUT.....
All is not lost, remember the share in the company? Well if it only costs $$$ to run a service that $$$$ is being charged, then the owners receive a dividend at the end of the year! Whee.
Or alternatively we get better service!
Whee!!!
On Tuseday (yup this really is relevant!) they were installing Fiber Optic in front of my house. In the near futures I'll be getting it inside.
Don't forget, I live on a Farm, in the middle of the farming area.
Don't you wish you didn't have to deal with the monopolies?
My experience was the same as yours. Never had a problem with minimal install, or at least if there was a problem it was hands on enough that you could work through it.
The graphical installer in 2007 didn't do gentoo any favors.
I would like to be able to access applications on my windows side of a dual boot system while being booted on the Linux side. To do this I expect I would have to use the windows registry so that the settings would work.
Is this possible, or will it be possible under Wine?
Slashdot Mirror
I'd rather let a million spam emails slip through than block one legitimate one.
Same deal with suspicious characters at the border.
Ahem... I think I have.
Our sympathies are mutual.
I went to your site, and from what I can see, it's a blog for idiots.
I use MS as well, I just prefer Linux.
This ad reminds me of the Linux ads http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EwL0G9wK8j4 that had all these successful people teaching Linux the kid.
I'm a Linux.
Interesting what the experts say about these different companies.
Lehman is all "DON'T BUY!!!"
http://www.stockchase.com/Company-sl--slq-ID-slv-Lehman--Brothers--Holdings.php
Merrill is a bit more mixed
http://www.stockchase.com/Company-sl--slq-ID-slv-Merrill--Lynch---slandsl---Co--(US).php
AIG is a top pick just a few months ago.
http://www.stockchase.com/Company-sl--slq-ID-slv-American--International--Group.php
HBOS is off the radar.
It's fun to see how the experts have talked about AIG over the last few months.

From the sounds of it, this might be the next MS killer app.
I love that UID. :)
I also like the way you explained the continuum. It is exactly right.
You are now my friend

Actually, considering the story, "if" is appropriate. :)
Quadro
This co-op has been around for quite some time, and the pie has been divided for that long as well.
For them to be "crushed" they would have to loose their customers, which I rather doubt they could do, even if they wanted.
I think the pie has already been sliced up.
