And the opening (America Onlink) had me dying of laughter. I used to be (when I was like 11) an AOL user (Remember DOS AOL? I do.), so I can sympathize.
All of my MP3s are legal, but I cannot always tell from listening which version of which song is which; z.B., "Like a Prayer" has two almost identical versions by the same `artist'. One came out in the early '80s, the other in the early '90s. Most of the song sounds the same throughout, but they have different open/closes. And get an account; they're free.
Go http://www.advantech.com. What you're looking for is under Biscuit PCs. PCM-5862/L or/T. One of them has 10/100 Ethernet built-in. And unless you're a fan of figuring out your own pinouts, the wiring kits are at the bottom.
Please read this. Every article says that she was riding in the car. To me, that means it was moving. More to the point, perhaps, is the fact that she took the lid off. McDonald's have parking spaces to do this in. After you get your coffee, park, put it on the dashboard, and do the creamer and sugar bit. Then put the lid back on and put it in the cupholder. This is not difficult.
Stupid people of the world, unite and live in Florida...oops, too late Ain't that the truth. Why do all the weirdos come here? Just watch America's Most Wanted for a couple of weeks...you'll notice that a lot of the fugitives fled to Florida.
(glad I moved). You got out?!? HOW!?! This place is like the Hotel California. Crime is high, job market is a little soft, commuting sucks, pay is barely decent, no sense of history or knowledge of Florida pre-tourism or civic pride, but the weather is beautiful, so we stay.
SMU, as previously noted, is in Dallas, not Houston
People mislocate USF all the time. The `south' in the name makes them think it's in Miami, not Tampa. And no, I don't know why they call it U South Florida. Tampa is west central FL.
A real news story would list the name of the course is, which Microsoft programs, and probably who the teacher was.
This is more like one of those newsbites that runs down the left or right side of the page. Not necessarily thorough, but provocative. Ratings, you know.
Since when do universities offer courses based on a specific corporation's software?
My micro apps for business class is specifically targeted at Office.
(If it were a continuing education course, it would have said that.)
. I read in the paper a few months back about a girl who was #1 in her high school class getting a 500 on her SAT (scores combined).
Could you find a cite for this? I wanna read it. And if you think that is pathetic, you should see our state standard, the FCAT and before that the HSCT. You can find these @ firn.edu/doe. It's given to 11th graders, and if they fail, they can take it again. It's basically sentence completion and fractions. I missed one question on this test and I felt like an idiot.
She put coffee...between her legs...in a moving car. She got what she deserved. What I can't figure out is how someone this incompetent got to be elderly.
My city (50Kpeople) has had no murders and maybe 30 muggings in the past coupla years. However, I still will not walk around after midnight. This is probably because I am surrounded by two million in the metro area.
My city is safe. Clearwater (3 mi) is not. St. Pete (2 mi) is not. Tampa (7 mi, partially on a bridge) is definitely not.
The biggest problem with the US is our overwhelming ignorance of foreign nations -- even Canada!! I have had people ask me who the president of Canada was. I had to explain the parliamentary system to them. Americans seemed to be convinced of the irrelevance of the rest of the world. As long as nobody cuts off our oil or imported cars, we don't care (Kosovo? Ain't that what I ordered at the Golden Dragon last week?).
And the second biggest problem is the slowly-spreading impact of American culture on the rest of the world. American English is becoming the de facto standard for business. Germans are watching Friends...and enjoying it.
It reminds me of a certain discussion between Quark and Garak regarding root beer and the Federation.
I had to take CSC101, Computer Applications, as a dist. requirement since it was the only class that fit my schedule and met the requirement. On the first day of class, the teacher stood up, holding a floppy disk, and said "This is a floppy disk. We STORE things on it." Groan. Obviously, I didn't need to be there, but I went up and spoke to the teacher (saying "Hey, I work in tech support, I really don't need what you're teaching here") and made arrangements to do some more interesting stuff for the assignments, and I got permission to play Solitaire, read books, or write papers for other classes during the lectures, so I was able to do something I enjoyed with my time there.
You were significantly luckier than I am. I'm in this Micro Apps for Business (read Office 97) class. We started off with round-the-class introductions -- what's your name, what prev. experience, etc...: "Hi, I'm Mike. I'm only here because I have to be. I've been typing my homework since 5th grade. I'm A+ certified [that took about a week to get], and I have a LAN at home with a Linux box connected to the cable modem acting as the router connecting all of us to the Net." By the end I realized I was way over everyone's head, so I shut up. However, this 'teacher' (keep in mind, she considers the hard drive an output device, like a printer or a monitor. and if I hear her say RAM memory one more time...) will not let me do anything but course-related material. So when she hands out the assignments and gives us two weeks, I hand them in that same day and slashdot on the sly the rest of the time.
As a favorite HS English teacher of mine said: "She is certified, but not qualified."
So the sheer number of eyes looking at an app doesn't necessarily mean that all the bugs are caught. Quite true. However, the number of people looking at the source is what matters. No matter how many people submit bug reports to MS, the same small group of people try to fix it. The advantage to the Open Source method is the varying perspectives that thousands of source-browsers have. I once read that Open Source is a way of putting together a programmer and a bug. Eventually, the person(s) who can fix it will see it.
Older (evil) computers would use this bizarre IDE-on-soundcard setup. It was first popular on my *original* Soundblaster 16. Any company that still does this (especially with a standard IDE CD) deserves a severe flogging.
This only applies to the Full copy. Win98's upgrade copy does not include this floppy. It also (irritatingly) asks for proof of some sort of prior Windows product. Thank god I kept my WfWG install floppies. Apparently, that boot floppy costs about $100, given the difference in price of the two editions.
The biggest problem with win98 is that the install program silently overwrites the MBR (master boot record) of your boot disk. Therefore, unless you have a linux boot disk (or loadlin & a current copy of zImage on a FAT floppy), you cannot boot into linux and run lilo to restore the boot record. Of all the irritating things that Windows does, this is on my list of the worst.
This company was bought out by another company that also did EDI, but on NT. They actually had a small group of people that did nothing but drag and drop and process files by mouse all day! The little they did have automated (on NT) crashed constantly, either due to SQL server or something else. In short, they created a real mess.
I don't believe you. I can't believe you. Something like this is too unreal. It's just wrong!
Don't get me wrong...I'm not saying you're a liar. I'm just saying that this is so incompatible with my worldview that it cannot occupy my thoughts. It would crash me. I become visibly irritated when I think about it. I picture this group of poor saps, ordered to drag and drop all day and I shudder. I thought data entry was bad. [shivering]
Actually, the most frightening bit (to me, anyway) is that it doesn't always need a reboot. Just sometimes. Apparently at random. I've had it work spontaneously without rebooting, and I've had it not work after rebooting.
NT wouldn't bother me so much if it were at least consistent.
and wish I really had a nickel for every goddamn adult contemporary station that bragged about its "best variety of music" and then proceeded to play more Natalie Imbruglia
Is it just me, or is she the Anti-Christ?
Their "Total Request Live" garbage takes a video, maybe shows the beginning or the end, but never the full thing,
My brother, harnessing "the power of the Internet", got people across the country to call MTV and on March 10, the #2 song on TRL was "Hanging Tough", by the New Kids on the Block. hee-hee.
Local bands or bands on independent labels have NO chance on radio or eMpTyV
Actually, one of my extremely corporate (ClearChannel, Inc.-owned Star 95.7) local radio stations is very good at pushing the local bands (Wedgie, The Swinging Mooks, My Friend Steve, etc...). They sponsor their concerts and do their best to get the good ones signed. Unfortunately, they also play a lot (A LOT) of the Third Eye Matchbox Hootie stuff. ick.
this is primarily because the few games that exist for Linux don't really take advantage of the hardware OpenGL in my graphics card.
doing anything sound-related
this is because there is no Linux module for my SB Live!
printing
this is because I have an HP DJ 820 Cse, a very nice, but Win-only, printer
However, I do much of my work for my online college credits in X, and my papers in X/WordPerfect, which (unlike any rumored Office port would be) is completely file-compatible with the other versions.
I sit back, not expecting any flames. Almost everyone here knows this: Use the right tool for the right job.
You're complaining about too many highs, there's an easy solution to that...TURN THE TREBLE DOWN or the mids and lows up...I have $800 worth of stereo equipment installed in my 79 cougar, and I tell you that I can beat just about anyone in quality(and the occasional parking lot showdown). All you have to do is change your bass/mid/treble settings on your head unit to compensate...I listen to a wide range of music...techno, bootie, rap, classical, dance, oldies, rock, punk...it all works with minimal tweaking on the head unit...it's not too hard! If you don't like those options, just get a CD changer and spend hours waiting for the right CD to finally get scrolled to... BTW, this is my brother's account...anyone want to flame me? email DanJoe52@mtgrealm.com
