The book hasn't really seen any substantial discounts, as far as I know
Just a heads-up for folk in the UK looking to buy this book - it-minds.com are doing it for £37.99, 10% off of list price. I think you have to go in via theregister.co.uk
To be more specific, this is the article (use anything for username & password if asked). Scotland only recycles 6.1% of household waste compaired to 31.5% in the US and 52% in Switzerland!
Well, well, well... "Europe" is it? A big place to be that generic about!:)
I was reading in my newspaper last week that the UK, and Scotland in particular are the worst for recycling in the world... I'd try and find a reference, but i've binned the paper (landfill I bet). Even worse than the US, which really amazed me.
We're (i'm Scottish) are actually going backward - when I was 'wee' you could get a deposit back on glass bottles. The recycle facilities at the local supermarket were actually REMOVED last year (and Edinburgh tries to say it's 'Cosmopolitan'!). The year before that the council were saving money by just landfilling the 'to-be-recycled' items...
I was always under the impression that it was a mini-blackhole that wandered through our planet. that easily explains the lack of crater and the tree patterning. The worst part is, did I read this in a Larry Niven novel or watch it on Discovery channel?
The majority of your points have already been addressed and laid waste, but...
Once you have seen enough "I hate your country" stickers, you start to care a little less about the "delicate sensibilities" of the illegal alien. If the Feds want to take a non-citizen out of his I-hate-America-stickered car and sweat him for 7 days, more power to them
Answer this... What came first, the horse or the cart?

I seriously can't see 1000+ bona-fide Irish being involved in the disaster
Nor can I. I didn't say that there were 1000+ Irish involved - I said that there were 1000+ Irish missing. Big difference
You've lost me - surely anyone missing is involved in this sorry affair, yeh? What's your definition of 'Irish', I'm talking about those born in the Republic of Ireland and not the token American Irish...
Seriously, however the count is split up - it's still a hell of a loss.

There are over 1,000 Irish missing - including many of the NY firefighters and police
sic, that'll be "Irish Americans" then. I seriously can't see 1000+ bona-fide Irish being involved in the disaster, ~300 UK is believable.
Remember a large amount of Irish Americans fund terrorism through the IRA... And I don't have to say what I think of that...

You'll be getting more than that, but yes - why not?
Why should every sysadmin go through locking down and beefing up each and every install? What a waste of time... Much better to start with a known level and improve on that (or leave it as is).
Remember this isn't just about software - it's about support... $3000 isn't much anyway!
Indeed, it is Telewest's 25 UKP a month cablemodem/DSL system - I should have bothered to look at the link!
My gusee is this guy has a 512kbit/s broadband connection into his house, and he's going to get some long-range 802.11b equiptment, and offer some service along his line
Willing to bet he's got a 'personal' contract with them and not a commercial one... AUP, Terms of contract,... WTF?;)
Whoops - I didn't read the original properly - my mistake
Yeh, I was wondering - I know who NTL are, it seems as if they sponsor half on the English Premiership and the Scottish Premier League!
The second link I posted might still be of interest though
NTL and Telewest are promoting this quite a lot on TV currently - their claim of it only costing 25 UKP is quite misleading as you need to already have a cable connection (an additional 9.something UKP for Telewest, for example).
I wouldn't trust a 'company' without a decent setup as far as I could throw them! Their domain name just contains an embedded FRAME which gets its content from a page on a Free ISP!
Sorry to ruin this guys party, but the Java Plug-in does not use the EMBEDD tag under IE - it uses the OBJECT tag! EMBEDD is only used for Netscape browsers...
Thin-client assumes that computer hardware is expensive and network bandwidth is cheap. Guess what? That's completely wrong.
Guess what, you're missing the point...
You assume your hardware is powerfull however we are quickly moving toward the use of minimal systems to interact with the net. Do I want to locally compile and process a load of data on my flash new mobile phone? No Sir...
The era of the PC is coming to a close - we are moving towards lots of small tailored solutions - mobile phones, settop boxes and the like. You won't be browsing the web (at home) from a PC - it will be a TV...

It's a wonderful place!
Don't know if it's interesting or not... I simply cannot be bothered to read it! Where are the paragraph breaks? It's one of the simplest things...
This figure is more budget related, and for for a marine environment... However do you have any links for the BT and Tiscali packages?
Yeh, id's be real interesting to find out the cost of this system. Comparison wise a 64kbps VSAT works out at around $5000 a month...
It makes absolutely no difference at all to the vast majority (say 99% at least) what their software is coded in, or what markup language looks like.

Fair enough, privatise the birds - but do it in a manner which will allow competition to drive down costs.
Perhaps sell off each shuttle individually? Or perhaps more realistically split the inventory between two operators.
