Or you could buy an old SNAP server on eBay and replace the drives. I bought a SNAP 4000 used for $425 last summer. Pulled the 4 x 30GB drives and replaced them with 120GB drives. It was a heck of a lot cheaper than paying full price for a new SNAP server.
Interesting study, but it might have been more interesting if they'd added a third conversation -- an individual alone talking to him or her self.
Neilson draws the conclusion that cell phone conversations are more annoying because it's harder to tune out half a conversation. If that's true, then it would be harder to tune out an insane person talking to himself (which is the impression I still get from most people using cell phones in public -- especially the ones with ear pieces).

Let me guess, you've given up professional web design and you're now teaching web design at Bizzarro U. where everything is exactly the opposite of the real world.
Seriously, it sounds like you've been out of touch for a while. You might want to get in touch with the current state of the art. Start at CSSZenGarden.com (feel free to use Lynx if you like, it will only prove how wrong your assumptions are).
Actually, it's windows that is catching up. Mac has had text to speech services for quite a while.
Also, there's a huge difference between a text-to-speech service and a screen reading application. A screen reader allows a sight impared user to actually navigate around the OS and use a variety of applications. Text-to-speech is not that comprehensive. Just try closing your eyes and actually doing anything constructive with your Windows speech service.
Text-to-speech is actually of more value for users with dyslexia or poor literacy.
Absolutely, this is a case of some IT grunt running a bad script. However, as with most things in Washington I would guess the grunt didn't do this on his own initiative. So the question would be, who's idea was this and what was their motiviation?
It appears that this robots.txt file was probably auto-generated. It looks like someone used a script to crawl the sites entire directory structure appending/iraq and/text to every directory. In the process they seem to have created a pretty complete map of the sites underlying directory structure -- not necessarily a good thing.
Having said that, I'm not even sure that this robots.txt file would work the way it's supposed to. Seems like these iraq references should all have a trailing slash or a.html if they're actual pages.
Someone clearly doesn't want Google caching Whitehouse content on Iraq. The question is why? And how come they're so lame about it?
And just exactly how is that a falsehood? It hasn't happened yet! There's no way to determine whether or not some future event will or will not happen, therefore you don't have enough evidence to declare these statements to be a falsehood. Speculative, yes, but not a falsehood.
The original poster was simply pointing out that the CEO of Diebold has made certain statements that should be cause for concern.
Something tells me you've spent a bit too much time in the No Spin Zone.
First of all, not everyone rips at 128. Secondly, not everyone pays list price for all CDs. I'm sure you're aware that there's a booming market for used CDs. The RIAA seems to gloss over that fact when the talk about how piracy is eating away at their revenue. Also, it's entirely possible to build a huge collection at a reasonable price by subscribing to a service like emusic.com.
Check eBay for used SNAP servers. They generally go for quite a bit less than the current list price. Old 4000 series are around $400. It's easy enough to pull the standard drives and replace them with new high capacity drives.
About 15 years ago I was at Disneyland on a family trip hanging around a gift shop waiting for various family members to buy whatever . ..
Intense boredom was about to crush me when, suddenly, I noticed a Bill The Cat plush toy sitting on a table amidst various Disney characters. Needless to say, Bill really stood out in that environment. Given the fact that there was no other Bloom County merchandise around, I've always assumed that someone just left it there as a twisted inside joke.
I guess my point is, not all plush animals are bad. Or maybe my point is that Bill The Cat was so great he survived the plush animal treatment while keeping his integrity intact. Or maybe . . . nevermind. I'm just happy to hear that Opus and co. are returning.
I still have the Yggdrasil Fall 94 CD. It got me through a couple of UNIX courses. It was amazing at the time. It kept me from having to drive out to the computer lab or attempt a remote (VERY slow) connection via modem.
Sure, these old distros had their rough edges, but consider the alternative. Does anyone remember the kind of hoops you had to jump through to get a Win 3.xx system online? Anyone remember Trumpet?
Except this article seems to indicate that the quality of the CDR media deteriorates over time. Even if you verify your recording after it's completed that's no guarantee the disc will still be readable in two years.
Except that CDs as a format are going away. Maybe not this year or next, but certainly over the next five years.
The process isn't as complicated as you make it out to be and it's getting easier all the time. At some point (soon) you'll download directly to your stereo (no traditional pc needed) and copy what you need to your portable or auto player.
The biggest barrier to this format conversion will be the RIAA -- not so much because of piracy, though. An entirely digital distribution channel crushes their current business model which is built mostly on producing physical disks and shipping them around the country in big trucks (then taking them back when they don't sell). They make their profit on accounting and artist recoupables.
Frankel reportedly sold Nullsoft to AOL for $86 million. Seems like $86 million would go an awful long way towards starting a new company and doing whatever he damn well pleases. Why does Frankel need AOL? They certainly don't seem to be providing him any resources or support. Unless you count the "support" of their legal department.
Depends on the access point. All AP's tend to have WEP. Many (almost all Linksys I believe) have MAC filtering. As for whether this is enough to secure your LAN the answer is, it all depends.
How much do you have to lose? Is this is home or business LAN? Are you in some remote location or in a high density apartment complex?

The new Word still cannot output clean xHTML. You've gotta ask, why not? It's all about proprietary file formats.
Uh yeah. Except I'd probably use it as an excuse to buy a Nomad Zen.
Yeah, I deleted about 14,000 mp3's from my desktop system last month after I moved them all over to my NAS server.

The value equation has to include software, and specifically operating system. I believe OSX tips the balance in favor of the iBook.

A reason for people over 21 to use a fake ID.
This sort of policy will almost certainly backfire.

Let me get this straight, you've got the money to drop $6k on a HDTV and now you're in the mood to start firebombing companies?
Ladies and gentlemen, the revolution has begun.
Turning into Pynchon isn't such a bad thing. Especially since Pynchon may not have that many (any?) books left in him.

OK, maybe I'm missing something, but just how exactly does this topology "secure" your wireless network?
