The discount for cash is the 'legal' way around Visa's agreement with merchants not to charge a fee for credit card usage. Another prime example is the local Maverick gas stations which offer a 5 cent discount per gallon of gas if you pay with cash or check.
The (x)inetd is a daemon designed to run in the place of many daemons. It listens on selected ports and when it gets a requests that fit within certain rules, it spawns the actual service to hadle the request. It saves memeory since you can run one daemon full time instead of many. Plus it makes control of those daemons easier.
SSH can be run from inetd, but rarely is unless it is really used that infreaquently. This is for both performance reasons. ssh also handles its own security considerations, so you get little from placing it in inetd.
The problem is not a lack of fiber for infrastructure. Many of the major highways here in southeast Idaho have up to three separately owned dark (never been used) fiber cables along their routes. The bigest problem is that many of the campnies that laid these cables do not have the financial impetus to light the cables. Whether or not it would actually make them additional mopney is irrelavfent. They think they are better off as things are. As it is we have fiber runs out in the sticks paralelling dirt roads. All we need is some company to come in add some routing equipment and such and light it up.
That said broadband accees is still fairly cheap. My DSL costs a total of $50 (circuit + service) and cable is $40/mo if you have ast least expanded basic (more if you only want Internet access). Wireless is widely deployed in and around the population centers in our corner of the state and a home link with up to T1 speed costs $50/mo plus a $300 installation.
The limits are really on the phone system. ISDN is not widely available and is expensive where it is. As some of the postings state earlier, the quality and layout of the phone system is far less than optimal and make DSL a very limited option.
You have obviously not run a business or worry about making your money work for you. Standard practice: run your receivables short and your payables long as possible. This is a basic Time-value-of-money concept.
That said, if the bill is late arriving in the mail (the USPS would never deliver late) how will you know if the bill is already past due so you can call in an immediate payment (usually costs a small fee) as opposed to mailing one (the cost of a stamp and envelope)?
Finally, you will avoid many obvious gramatical errors if you refrain from writing contractions in the first place. It is "your", not "you're" (you are).
Simple. Install Ghostscript 7.04 for Win32 and redmon (instructions on port setup for redmon are included in the distribution). Redmon will redirect the postscript output (use any postscript printer driver, again covered in redmon help file*) through ghostscript and allow you to select a filename to save your PDF to. Viola!
* The redmon help file actually contains all the documentation you need to setup a print to PDF printer in Windows.
linux.org is private venture and although is obviously dedicated to Linux, it is not an 'official' representitive of Linux (or Linus Torvalds). That said, and having known the owner of linux.org, I'd say the pointer, irc.linux.org, is probably a hands off need (desire?) to point the name somewhere (running any service, much less irc, poses additional security risks and of course bandwidth issues) and at the time linpeople.org was as good a place as any. It *was* something concerning Linux after all.
In short, I'd say this is more of a misnomer due to linpeople.org's change in purpose than a statement.
Hmm, is this not impersonating another for the purpose of gaining access to an otherwise restricted system (identity theft in simple terms). Also is this not exactly one of the many chages Keven Mitnik was convicted on? Think about his social engineering the Novel support staff pretending to be an off site employee.
Nuclear Power is all but legislated OUT of existance in the US. The reason it no longer works here is due the excessive regulatory inflicted costs that make Nuclear Power too expensive to produce. On a strictly parts and labor view, it is by far cheaper per MW to produce and cleaner to boot even accounting for the waste storage. Keep in mind that coal by products are radioactive and release more radiation into the air than any reactor short of the poorly designed, operated, and USSR built Chernobyl. The (US) government does not subsidise Nuclear Power. All of this is thanks to the FUD that was produced by over zealous organizations like Green Peace, ELF, etc... </rant>
The key here is proper use of dessicant. We put this stuff in large packs (2" square about.5 to 1" thick) in almost every enclosed electronics/electric space on ship (not just for items in storage, but actual use items) and check (and change if necessary) it on regular schedules. It soaks up moisture like it is going out of style. Just remember, do not eat (the dessicant).:-)
The short answer is that in all but two states, each candidate has a selection of electoral voters pleged to him/her and the voters choose which group of electors actually vote in the electoral college. Note that you do NOT select the actual candidate, just the people pleged to vote for that candidate. An elector is generally free to vote for whomever (s)he chooses, but to vote against one's pledge is politically suicidal.
"Problem is I'm not sure that I'd be willing to give up personal freedoms just so they could do that. Too bad they don't enact laws like a contract. "This law is only good for one year and is up for renewal afterwards.""
They do and it is usually referred to as a sunset clause. I believe parts if not all of the Patriot Act are on such a clause.
However, being the pessimist I am, I would tend to think that a sunset clause is a ruse though to make it easier to pass strict laws under an awakened public, but come renewal time when the public is not paying attention, it's simply a means to quietly make the law permanent.
Skip the.bat and do: Start -> Run -> C:\cygwin\usr\X11R6\bin\xwin.exe -query <insert xdmcp host> It is quite effective. On our corporate 100Mbit network, there is no delay or lag. I use it to interact with both SCO and Linux boxen using Win2K as my terminal host and have been using it without problems for over four months now. Alternatively, you could start xwin.exe (no args) and run a Win32 ssh client like putty (or even cygwin's openssh?), enabling X forwarding and run specific applications just like using ssh based X forwarding on a normal Linux/BSD system.
You have bullets 3 and 4 out of order at a minimum. Mandrake has for quite some time been committed to LSB compliance. I am not sure if SuSE started before or after Mandrake on the path towards that compliance, but I can tell you Mandrake was working on LSB compliance long before UL was a twinkle in Love's eye.
You don't have to run Nautilus or gmc with Gnome. You simply loose your desktop icons feature in Gnome at the gain of less memory used/wasted (for those of us who never actually see our desktop do to all of the open programs). At that point you have nothing that resembles a 'web browser' integrated into your desktop.
To get rid of both, close all your open programs, bring up the Gnome session manager and remove any gmc or nautilus process, save and restart Gnome/X.
Those of us using Qwest DSL to connect to an ISP other than Qwest.net should remain unaffected. I've attemped to confirm this via the customer service of Qwest and my ISP and both say I and others like me will not be switched.
Using the MySQL Win32 ODBC driver, it is possible to define a data source in Windows that MySQL can attach. The setup is a bit tedious and your capabilities are limited. You cannot (that I know of) 'say' connect me to the whole database, rather, you have to, in Access, define a virtual table for each table in the MySQL database you wish to connect. You can then use Access to create views, predefined queries, reports, and so on. Keep in mind that, other then manipulating the data directly, all your work resides in your Access DB front-end.
As an extension of the above, and table creation must take place in MySQL and then a link in Access created. Table mods must also be performed in MySQL afaik.
I haven't done this in ~2 years, but that's how it worked then, so take it (above comments) with a few grains of salt.

> Hrmm...wonder if you can play counter-strike on this bad boy. Would be cool to get a demo unit and see how well this bad boy frags!
As with any wireless connection, the latency will suck and you will be fragged before you know it. Wireless is a bad connection for gaming.

Pardon my ignorance here, but just how did you get the system to boot without a video card? All my systems just sit there and beep obnoxiously.
