    Actually, its the "carrot on a stick" approach to drive employee's. Your employer dangles the carrot from a stick in front of you making you constantly work for something you will never get.

  5. Re:mice spiders and rodents on A Clock That Runs for 10,000 Years · · Score: 0, Interesting

    Since the clock is binary, getting "gummed up" wont actually slow the clock down. Even if the parts show signs of wear the binary functions will still work. They even built an auto reset function that uses sunlight to heat a piece of metal when the sun reaches noon for example.

    The article also mentions finding material that will last for 10K years, maybe titanium? they havent decided yet. The functioning prototypes use stainless steel.

  6. No mention of Ipswitch? on Exchange Alternatives Round-up · · Score: 1, Interesting

    Their Collaboration Suit offers Calandering with Outlook, not sure how well it works though.

    check this out:

    From their site
    Save time with shared calendars and contacts

    For many teams, working together productively depends on the ability to easily schedule meetings and share calendars, contacts, and other information. ICS includes powerful collaboration tools that allow Microsoft Outlook users to share their own up-to-date contact lists, calendars, task lists and Outlook notes securely within your organization. You can - with permission - view and edit your colleagues' calendars and contact lists.


    Anyone have experiance with Ipswitch?

  7. Dlink has a plug and play solution on The Case for Free WiFi? · · Score: -1

    Everytime someone orders a coffee, your print a ticket (30min of free wifi time), beyond that 30min you charge, maybe the price of a coffee for every 30min or something.

    Lots of little features built in, simple interface for rapid turnover (press a button and it generates and prints the login id/password for you). Its the best solution I know of for Cafe's.

    1: Boosters slowing the space craft down
    2: Camera had a light source

    4: Not exactly, the flag pole has a support arm extending horizontally out to support the top of the flag, when the astronaut was setting the pole into the ground it made the flag look like it was flapping in the breeze.
    5: Ever try and take a picture of the night sky? ever try and take a picture of the night sky on the moon? Considering the bright light conditions, it would have been impossible to capture stars on film.

  12. Re:Huh? on Are CRTs History? · · Score: -1
    I work for a very large reseller....CRT's are very much still available.



    Are LCD's taking over? well, its may seem like it, 17" LCD's are now priced the same as 17" CRT's about a year ago (roughely $179), you can get a low end 19" for ~$200 if you look hard enough.



    High quality CRT's are the norm because they are so cheap, no reason to buy a low end CRT when the LCD equivlent cost slightly more but saves you money in the long run.

    ok , so we banned trans-fats, something that is costing the country millions in health care every year. I think it was a good move, I expect similar bans coming into place for cigarettes, people are too stupid to know what good for them.

    I thought downloading was legal, however uploading was illegal.

    Goes along with the concept that it was legal for you to lend your CD to a friend, they can copy it and give it back.....however, if you made a copy and then gave that to your friend that would be illegal.

    Thats how it was explained to me....
