You got it. Have you seen the size of some of these bloated , so called, phones? Might as well go back to the bricks of 15 years ago. Anyone who thinks a phone is a good replacement for a laptop (that is where this is headed) or PDA is a fool. The dinky little screen will never cut it.
I hope you didn't sprain anything with that kneejerk reaction.
Serving "with" does not have to mean in the same boat. Swift boats always operated in pairs or more to provide covering fire if needed. Just like every other type of boat involved in the riverine warfare in Vietnam.
One man, that actually served in Kerry's boat has put out a book that points out Kerry's lies about being in Cambodia during Christmas of '68. The campaign has not been able to answer this because Kerry's words are in the congressional record and a letter to the Boston newspaper. The title of the book is Unfit for Command, just published in the last few days.
Sad but true. Just one more truth that the shysters have too much power.
Lawyers should not be allowed to run for any legislative body, it's a conflict of interest. They go to Congress and write laws in language so convoluted that it guarantees themselves and their peers perpetual employment translating that crap into English.
Thats one thing I like about Netware. I can limit the number of attempts and have a specified lockout time before the next one is allowed. Our standard is three tries with a thirty minute lockout before the next try. We also use 8 character alphanumeric passwords. Very hard to brute force in three tries. Now if I could allow remote access by sys-admin only, I'd feel almost safe.
I've had the same problem telling prople, until I ask them if their credit rating is important. Then I just tell them that IE is so insecure that using a credit card to make any purchase is like giving it away. Extreme method, yes, true, mostly. It gets their attention and then I download Firefox for them and make IE mostly unreachable. I explain keeping it updated and have had no problems or complaints yet. Everyone (about a dozen) likes Firefox better, so far.
You really can hide IE so that it can only be started by hitting update in control panel or finding the.exe file in the explorer tree.
M$ wants everything on the web to be under their controll. Thats the whole purpose of.Net. The idea was that everything had to written in.Net to used with IE. If they lose the dominance of IE they lose on a long range plan to have controll of most web content that has been very expensive.
What has M$ ever done to make you think this isn't possible? Or even probable.
In this world, the same thing will happen to M$ that happened to Netscape. Once you get used to a browser there is no compelling reason to change back. If people shift to Mozilla or Firefox now they probably won't want IE in the future due to the bad reputation, no matter if they really fix it or not.
Contact Ziff-Davis and tell them what you think about this foolishness. Tell them you will let all discussion groups in the computer indusatry know about it. The potential loss of subscribers(revenue) will change their mind fast.
When dealing with a commercial interest, a threat to the bottom line gets the most results. Because it's the only thing they care about.
You can add to that that the largest percentage of Govt. employees are not from the top half of their fields. Otherwise they would be making twice the money, or more, with real jobs.
Bureaucrats job: generate enough paper to justify your existance, it doesn't half to mean anything, just clog the flow.
Corporations donate to both sides so that the winner will owe them, no matter what!
Some of us are waiting for the fixes to the service pack before we consider installing it. M$ has never gotten anything right before the third try anyway.
I agree, for the same money it's not worth it. Unless your current boss is a flaming asshole. Some of the textile companies that have had so much trouble the last few years fall into the FA catagory.
A friend of mine is the head programmer at one. In 2000 he had 14 programmers in his dept. Now he has 4 and still trying to do the same work. The bosses are in for a surprise as soon as better jobs open up. There will be no one at that company that knows the system or software!
I'm using the Asus A7N8X, not the deluxe, and have no sound problems. The on board is better than my old SB16. The white box store that I deal with had serious trouble with the SB live Audigy in the deluxe version of the same Mobo. It was Creatives drivers and never did work right. The on board, through a 2 year old set of Klipch 5.1s sounded better than the Audigy did in any box with the same speakers. I don't really think sound cards are worth it any more.
Without some form of certification test, or acceptance of one like A+, It is just a meaningless piece of paper. That makes it a money grab plain and simple.
Four years ago Red Hat 6.2 was easier to install than Win 95, fewer drivers to hunt for in RH. Today Red Hat 9 is simple, Suse 9.1 is better, I'd bet that any major distribution is as easy or better than Win XP. As long as your hardware is reasonably mainstream it will be supported with out looking for extras.
How about a useful Certification like CCNA, CNE, or even Linux+? Better yet a Linux Engineer Cert. You know, the ones that actually mean a better paycheck!
What SCO is spreading is nothing but Rumor, Gossip, and Bullshit. Just like from day one of the IBM lawsuit. Thats their entire arsenal, not one bit of fact anywhere.
The remains of this carcass will have nothing to pick over. The legal vultures might starve.

Don't forget, Clinton signed the DMCA.
As long as proper treatment does not include: TV, Radio, a weight room. These are criminals and it shouldn't be a country club.
I disagree with the guy and bullhorn being too expensive. Unless you count the medical bill for removing the bullhorn from his ass.
The real reason that never caught on was the probability of physical assault.
And all radio signals have bleed off. I'm glad I'm not the only one to catch this discrepancy.
That is the hard way. I'd hate to write it out step by step. I see no easy solution.
Documentation has always been hard for me, thats why I program? Whats a comment?
Uncommented code can be a real nightmare. Reality check.

Why do you think so many of us call it the
Assinine Constipated Liberals Union?
Their view of reality does not exist on this planet. Thank God.

What Mobo is having this problem?
I'm using the Asus A7N8X, not the deluxe, and have no sound problems. The on board is better than my old SB16.

To clarify; +-500Mhz the Athlon will spank a P4. Especially with the N-Force2 chipset.
I'm using my third AMD system and have never had a problem with anything. This one is N-Force2 and will whip any P4 within 1Ghz of the speed.
Intel has been, in reality, behind AMD for at least two years. Now it just gets confirmed.
Bang for the buck means AMD wins hands down.
