We have one at the fair each year. They're mostly pencil-necks though. The bearded lady and Tiny Tom got to putting on airs, and and regard the pencil-necked geeks as below their social circle.
Why exactly would they want to collect the firearms of "law abiding citizens"?
To take power into their own hands. This is the ONLY reason for the govt. to be passing these laws.
C'mon guys, why is it that you apparently think Amazon isn't entitled to d othe same things any other retailer does - go to Wal-Mart and see how prices fluctuate - all those "roll-back" signs show the ones that dropped (at least temporarily, but there's no notation (surprise, surprise) on the ones that went up a little bit.
Doesn't seem quite the same. Wal-Mart, for all it's flaws, doesn't change their prices for you just becuase you went to the restroom and changed into a different set of clothes, which is essentially what changing browsers is. Or you could liken it to playing musical check-out lines, and getting a different price at each cashier. That is, if Wal-Mart actually had more than one cashier working at any given time;)
Does anyone know if Amazon does this when you change your "underwear?" In other words, change what the browser sits on, the OS, but using the same browser?
Sure is nice to see they're putting the Battle.net servers on solid ground. Those mobile, ship-board servers WERE an interesting idea, but storms were a problem. When the Battle.net server fleet was on the crest of a wave, things were wonderful, but in the troughs!.....man, trying to punch the signal through the waves must have been the cause of all the lag.
But, according to our government, the press and many outspoken lobbyists, that was a different time. Things are different now. Freedom of speech, the right to keep and bear arms, the right to not have the miltary house its soldiers in your home, protection against unreasonable search and seizure, etc. are all outmoded concepts which have no bearing on the modern world.
Basically, according to the Clinton administration, its adjutants and affiliates and the mainstream media, if Washington and his colleagues has been provided with microwaves and minivans, it would have been wrong to want individual rights as granted to all people by God.
"Please, PLEASE don't let anyone know about our school! We have too much interest as it is! When will you people learn that our staff will enjoy their jobs sooooooooo much more if no-one can look us up on a search engine, be referred to us by alumni or get any info about us at all! We are trying to cut our student body down to zero, so our staff no longer has to put out any effort, and can spend their days in idle luxury."
Or how secure would you feel if the United States government suddenly dropped all restrictions on owning firearms?
Quite a bit more secure, thank you very much. Perhaps you should ask yourself, "What would have happened if every law-abiding, responsible citizen at Columbine had been armed with a gun? Would there be as many defenseless, innocent people dead?"
Perhaps the politicians who disarmed those teachers and students to further their own power should be taken to court for aiding and abetting the murders at Columbine.
I doubt it. Anyone who gushes like this over a hand dryer probably spends the 15-20 minute drying time lost in rapt adoration of the POS in front of him.
Print serving for Win95/98/NT/2000 using Samba works very well for me on an old 486DX2/66 w/32 MB RAM running RedHat5.1. 1 caveat: If someone sends a LARGE print job to it, ie. over about 30 MB or so, it tends to time out, and I have to clear the queue manually. We do this once in a blue moon, so I haven't done much looking into fixing it. File serving for NT is fairly fast. Encrypted passwords, share level security. I use it to keep my files on.
Star Office is a memory hog. P-200MMX w/32MB RAM running the RH5.1 version of AfterStep was "go get a beer and drink it while opening your resume" slow. Doubling the memory helped, but it is big. I'd hazard a not-to-experienced guess that you should look at a machine that'll run MS Office 2000 w/Assistant fast to run Star Office on.
Andersen did not list any problem Web retailers, but the consulting company did highlight Amazon.com as a company that others should imitate.
Seems like this is a good way to knock off the 75% of sites that are functional, after Amazon sues them. Bring on the OFFTOPIC and FLAMEBAIT moderation.
So THIS is what they were hiring all those Linux educated people to do. "You're hired. Now you must teach us how to delete Linux portitions and create a short, obtuse FAQ on how to do it. Make sure said FAQ enough inconsistencies to make it seem as if working with Linux following their vaunted "Internet Support Community" docs doesn't work. Hmmm, will we be seeing an uninstall FAQ for BSD soon?
.....20/20 can explain how easy it is to (h)crack just such a million dollar article about (h)cracking to point a helpless, unsuspecting populace under attack by the sadistic, evil (h)crackers who want people to think that anti-virus software available from will protect them from "The Evil People With Odd Names" who have already (h)cracked the anti-virus website (since it is sooooooo easy-to-do, remember? We already reported that. Did we mention that our article, and the anti-virus webpages are worth one million smackers? And they are so big, they take a whole day to upload. And they're state of the art, we use MS Word 2000 and MS Frontpage so they're good.) to trick you into hacking your own PC so that they can look at your sweet, virginal and innocent letters to Grandma in your My Documents folder. They're everywhere!
M$ should have thougt of this years ago. Imagine the difference it would have made in the trial had the DOJ presented "loads of email - all blank" as evidence. Not only can this kid do what older M$ execs do, he is better at it than them! No damning conversations! Much simpler than a $10,000 Exchange server that scales messages into oblivion.
Of course, that assumes MS actually posts ALL the available updates/patches/etc. Did anyone else notice that the fix for their latest JVM security hole didn't show on Windows update for more than 2 weeks after MS published the security bulletin about it?
What if the tobacco industry follows this lead? Will there be major campaigns and other foolishness directed at NASA, a la NASCAR, to prevent the corruption/addiction/brainwashing of the various adolescent aliens whose parents depend on our space-race to keep their kids entertained?
We here at %company-name% have encountered a major problem with this. For most of our users, it was, and is for new folks, a matter of re-training themselves. But, of course some folks can't be taught.
The unteachables insist on printing everything that comes across their screen, whether or not they read it on screen and let it rot in the printer bin. We have even had some people, AFTER training, teaching, coaching and forced practice insist on paper communications; eg. composing a new email message in %mail-program%, printing the message, closing new message, retrieving printed message and hand-delivering it.
It certainly is difficult to change the patterns of a lifetime spent learning to read on paper, with pages that are manipulated in an ingrained manner.
And, has been mentioned before, screen-space is limited, not mention non-portable. Makes a difference in an office where walking around is a big part of the job!

"NOO-QUE-LERR,"
It's pronounced "NOO-QUE-LERR."
Do you turn blue and spout unintelligible error codes when NT BSOD's?
Olympic Paint
Guess I'd better buy my paint quick before the IOC puts them out of business!
Jeez, that's what I really want. A product called -
"You Pee 'N' Pee"
Almost as good as drinking a lot of water in a short period of time.

Or that the 2nd place winner wasn't browser neutral?
Opera 3.62 generated a "Browser not supported by script."
Guess I'd have to give up my mirrored sunglasses. Wouln't want to cut the stream of pron to the other users on my segment.

Actually, it looks like they're trying to leverage their desktop dominance to sell more servers.
Don't forget !

Well, maybe the Outlook spell checker keeps insisting on American English for the little guy's efforts.
