California is expensive to live in. Make sure you've done your cost of living adjustments properly.
My house here in Florida would cost me 3 times as much in California. But I wouldn't earn 3 times as much for my current position. So I'd lose if I moved.
And then there's the issue where a company brings you over and lays you off a year and a half later (happened to an associate who came over from Germany). Gave him a severance, but it wasn't anything near what he needed to get back to Germany. Just be prepared for a one way trip, or get a contract that relocates you back home (if you can get relocation at all).
Go ahead, you'll find that either your browser will find it by prepending the www or the target network will know to route port 80 connects to their webserver, port 21 to their ftp server, etc.
I remember a scene in the Simpsons when Homer returns to his boyhood home and remembers his days spent sitting in front of the TV (a Radiation King brand set) and you can still see the shadow in the floor, 30 years later.
1) By the time storage size is adequate to hold today's OS's, the OS's will have grown because magnetic disks offer so much more space. In other words, you can take a 512MB flash drive and boot up an older OS (like Win9x).
2) Flash has a limited amount of Read/Write cycles per cell. Don't put a database on that drive! I know there are algorithms that can minimize this, but the limitation is still there.
As a resident of central Florida, I remember hearing the shuttle on approach and it would shake the windows. During the day its not too bad because the house is generally noisier, but at night it scares the shit out of you 'cause you think someone is trying to bash the door down.
I know the shuttle is large and that commercial planes would likely have a lower signature, but it would still be rather annoying to hear that several times a day.
To be perfectly safe, I would imagine that the clean room team would have to be composed of people who don't own an iPod, and have never used or touched an iPod. Try proving that in today's world.
It is very difficult to prove a negative. You can only show that there is no evidence to the contrary. My guess is it would be up to Apple to prove that said engineer had access to an iPod. Like "EngineerX has a friend who purchased an iPod on 3/4/2004 at the BestCircuitDepotUSA #123 in Hoboken NJ".
That's like saying if your city was being invaded by the Germans and you shut your doors and windows so you couldn't see what was going on then declared yourself the victor.
Time travel and gadget fixation are my two biggest gripes about the Star Trek series. Too often they are able to solve all their problems by manipulating a such-and-such field with a whatever particle beam to get the desired result - WITH NO CONESQUENCES!
They need something where the crew jury-riggs a device that has detrimental and _unforseen_ consequences. It really bothers me that they know everything about how every particle and field interact.
I thought that when they linked us the two holes, they had the tunnel machines bore a hole off to the side of the main tunnel and were buried. The current locations is a couple dozen meters below the bottom of the English Channel.
Since the bore is larger than 1/2" in diameter and is not a shotgun, it would be classified as a cannon and therefore is a "destructive device". BATF may be looking for him as we speak.
I got this lecture from a sheriff after terrorizing some cattle with a potato(e) gun.
I suppose I am a bit radical in my thinking, but don't we already have a partner that has what we need? Why not just use the Russian vehicles.
The article mentioned that the Russian vehicles do not have the capacity for a space minivan. NASA wants the thing to carry 7 people, instead of three.
But I otherwise agree. So much money is spent on making things reuseable, that it is just plain cheaper to use disposable (and simpler) rockets. Until we can fly to orbit, stick with the simple stuff.
The best thing is, the luser eating all your bandwidth doesn't have to be told that you're cutting back on his speed --- you're the admin, you run your network the way you want, etc.
The administrator is not the owner of the network. The "luser" is part owner (This is a co-op) of the system and has the same rights as everyone else. A fair policy should be crafted that allows everyone to use the system to capacity.
Most of the pretty pictures look nothing like the raw data. Many pictures are taken in various wavelengths and the final image is a composite of several exposures with false colors used for invisible wavelengths. Many of those releases are from observations months beforehand.
SOHO is one satellite that does give everyone near realtime access to the data. Some amateur astronomers use this data to find new comets.
But at least we have shown that "hit-to-kill" can work. There are great technical challenges to integrate this technology into a ballistic missile interceptor, but at least they have a good starting point. If they are allowed to continue with development, things will get progressively better.
I think the point is that this targeted at do-it-yourself-ers, and not enterprise customers. Because commercial products are out of reach to most small businesses, they have to accept the limitations of what is available. Many web hosting companies have PHP and MySQL available, and this book is written to teach these customers how to use them. I think the real problem is when people assume that one solution can work well in any environment.
This is a good thing since it will protect innovation and American jobs. If a taiwanese company came in and sold sneakers for $2.99, Nike will be bankrupt.
Last I heard, Nike is a company that farms out it's manufacturing to overseas factories. So what point are you trying to make, exactly?
And there are plenty of shoe manufacturers that create sneakers for $2.99. But they don't have the Nike marketing machine behind it (which is what you really pay for) to promote their products.
How can something that does not cost anything be taxed? The only thing protectively taxed is if a service such as labor went into developing the product. As long as its not paid then its not taxed. A %10,000 tax on something thats zero is still zero.
All taxes are not percentage based. Gasoline has a tax that is based on the units sold. You pay $0.65 per gallon instead of %25. Free software could very well be taxed into non-free (beer) status. The price would be all tax.
Actually, you cant just assemble it here and say "Made in America". Some years ago I worked for a domestic electronics maufacturer. Their label read "Assembled in America from foriegn and domestic parts". When I asked the marketing folks why it wasn't "Made in America", they said it was because we did not have enough domestic components to qualify. All our IC's and discrete components were imported. Only about 10% of the parts were actually made here in the USA.

"He believes that the solution to movie piracy is bigger file formats."
That'll last for a few years. I remember the same argument for DVDs and CDs before them.

Board member #1: "Hey, let's sell our profitable division so that we can focus on one that will never make money ever."
Board Member #2: "Brilliant!"
Board Member #3 : Or we could relocate to Endor?
Board Member #4 : But we are 6 feet tall and Endor is populated with Ewoks that are only three feet tall. That plan doesn't make any sense.
Board Member #3 : OK, lets just sell the part of our company that makes money.

Seriously, you can get a lot done with 640k - if you write in assembly or even C without a lot of libraries.

Tee-hee.
Been watching the History Channel lately?

Scam?
CNN bought into it!
Cool, Yes. Legal? No.

7.6 mi / 2.5 hr = 3.04 mi/hr.
The way the article is written, they make it sound like it breezed up the mountian.
Still, 3 miles per hour is a pretty brisk pace for mountian climbing.
WindowsXP still comes with debug.

Is anyone out there using the 0.96 kernel?
Here's what I do...
1) Print document to PDF file.
2) Bring to work or school.
3) Print document on nice laser printer (free paper, too!).
I rarely need to print something so urgently that it can't wait until the next work/school day.

How about gathering by the student union and trading CDRs or just connecting via an 8 port switch?
What will they get if they sniff the network? (insert odor/pot/fart joke here.)

But all of this is just hearsay.
