Even if they were "working" the story at the same time they should be some kind of quality control. There are simple solutions for collaborative works, which is why real newspapers do not regularly publish duplicates
The H1B is not a immigration visa, but many people who intend on work based immigration use it as their first step. In fact given the time for processing immigrants I would suggest all companies use this as the first step.
Lawyers do not earn six figures straight out of school, neither do MBAs. Most of these people are hard pressed to find jobs that cover the cost of their education.
Also, the H1B program does apply to these fields. It applies to all professional fields, with special consideration due to some e.g. nursing.
At this point I would suggest writing down the name of the aforementioned toaster while in the aforementioned store. The psychic plugin for mozilla is on the way but not yet available. Until then customers who are searching for something are advised to have reasonable search terms.
Some consumer websites do not have a phone number on the site, so you cannot contact them by phone. I believe buy.com is one of these operators, there are no support or customer service numbers on the site, however a google search unearthed a number on some complaint site explaining their policy.
Natural disasters like earthquakes may be outside the realm of our control, but the death toll due to such natural disasters is not. So while the fact that there is an earthquake is not as newsworthy, the fact that 13,000(quoting from above) died is. In fact, it is moreso because the death toll is high because of poverty and apathy.
According to the article the FSB is trying to charge the agents, it is not asking that the two accused be sent back to russia. The FSB is stating that when the agent(s ?) accessed the accused computers without permission or a warrant they broke the law. And they did.
Your employer may have the right to monitor your computer usage but they do not have the right to break into your private accounts. If you check your personal email from work, your employer cannot then login into your home email account and check thru it. This is basically what happened here
It has been my experience, that the pre MacOS X releases crash at an alarming rate. Considering I have never used a mac for more than two hours, this is very disappointing - Windows is more stable.
I also believe that the MacOS kernel implemented cooperative multitasking instead of preemption - which is a bad thing [TM] especially in a server. Since these means that a bad behaving app could take out the entire system.
So the reason I don't think the MacOS is a suitable platform is that it is built on a fundamentally broken architecture.
I see the console as a calculator, a special purpose computer that does its job very well. Just as it is dumb to buy a PC to do an ocassional calculation, IMHO it is also dumb to buy a PC just for games.
I think the PC has wider variety of more innovative games, and the only selling points for consoles are cost and simplicity of operation. I know a lot of people think the consoles have better graphics, but I still think Fifa 98 for the PC looks better than the newer PS and PS2 versions
> 2 What do you expect of a country where the government telecommunications monopoly is so bad that more people have cellphones than landlines?
There are quite a few reasons for this, one being low population density, another being the absence of a landline infrastructure. Cell phones generally have lower start up costs. But since the ANC goverment is relatively new, the state of the phone system would be the fault of the National Party.
The EU has the right^w obligation to regulate all companies that conduct commercial activities within its borders. An example would be the Sprint/WorldCom merger which was blocked by the EC.
Of course a Brit could point out that taxation without representation is practiced in the US. You do realise that non citizens pay income and sales taxes ?
American tax laws require the buyer to pay sales tax in the state in which he purchased it. It then expects the buyer to report these taxes when he files his tax returns. The systems seems to be doing the same thing, you pay sales tax to your local municipality
An obvious approach would be to copy the file to a diskette or CD an place it in one's bag. Most email is archived so you could get caught after the fact.
I looked at website and it provides additional evidence to support my theory that UI Gurus are idiots.
The GUI Bloopers text is another example, the book is littered with diagrams most of which share one page, yet the writer/publisher does not see fit to number the diagrams. This website follows the same trend.
In addition to this these GUI experts point out problems that make little sense. Case in point; 1. The Associate dialog with only three options. He claims that you should not use a list box with only three items, but the assoc options are dependent on the installed programs.
2. He complains that a file conversion programs gives you a chance to change the initial file type before it starts. He claims that the user does not know the type of file he/she is converting.
3. Some one complains that their FTP client does not automatically update both client and server listings rather than allow the user to choose. Reason: Server update will be slow and may not be needed.
There are quite a few others that highlight users' comprehension of computers, and there are others that unfairly attack the programs. How is it Word 97's fault that the US started making up words ?
I see nothing wrong with leaving my browser open, and typing the urls into the browser rather than the file explorer... kinda make sense to me.
I like my browser attached to my mail client, seems like a more obvious connection.
Also could you point out which XP features are must haves, is it the left hand pane that wastes screen space ?
I have accidentally browsed with explorer, and I found it confusing... its not quite IE is it. I have also accidentally done so from outlook, somehow having a lot of sub standard ways to browse the web does not strike me as a good idea.
The look and feel of Windows has changed three times in recent memory, 3.X -> 95, 95-W2K, and now W2K to XP. Despite these UI changes most people upgrade without too much fuss.
This is because computers are about the programs, the apps, what I can do with it not what it looks like. If linux wishes to embrace and extend windows it would have to run windows programs, not look like windows.
And the ISA/EISA/MCA example does not hold, IBM developed a non compatible architecture and req'd licensing fees. Compaq's alternative EISA was no more successful than MCA. IBM's PS/2 also did away with the 5 1/4 too early.
> Many of these countries are very successful of blaming the west for their lot in life. It's always easier to blame others for your problems than it is to look inside and see what YOU are doing wrong.
In many case larger more prosperous countries are to blame, a case in point would be Angola where the US and the USSR both funded 'rebel' organisations. The Cold War is over but this civil war still goes on. Another example would be France and Algeria, when Algeria elected a Islamic government it is alleged that France supported a military coup to have them removed. Russia/USSR has been very efficient at screwing over their neighbours and former members of the republic.
Some countries have foreign policies that run counter to the best interest of national populations. An example would be the current drug war, western countries levy high fines on airlines that allow drugs to aboard. They also place enormous pressure on other countries to stem the tide of drugs at the source. Little effort is made to decrease the demand for drugs in these western countries. And most of these 'source' countries have a bigger drug problem that would be a more prudent use of their resources. And the flipside of the equation, the proliferation of small arms is ignored. In numerous third world countries, law enforcement personel die in standoffs with gangs armed with AK-47s, M16s and other high powered weapons, in a quixotic attempt to stop the drug trade.
So, sometimes western countries do share some of the responsibility

maybe i am confused, but i thought windows had a switch that would allow the user application to address 3G of memory

Has anyone else noticed that this article's page is extremely wide ?

Since you'll are so adept why not make all your coins the same size and colour ?

RC means Release Candidate, which means that this is beta software so bugs etc. can be expected.OTOH, release software is not 'supposed' to have bugs.
In other words an IE release should be held to a higher standard than a Mozilla or IE RC.
The bill only covers digital products, i.e. downloads - so there should be no problem with SHIPPING.
The could enforce it the same way current tax laws are enforced. Using a system of audits and fines.
