Doohan's cremated remains will be packed into a special tube that is ejected from the rocket and expected to orbit Earth for about 50 to 200 years before plunging into the planet's atmosphere and burning up
Bummer... why couldn't they just fire it off to some random star or something?
Like say, the second star on the right?
However, the researchers acknowledge that the Hobbit shares a bizarre and unexplained mixture of modern and primitive traits. For example, its long, dangling arms were thought to have belonged only to much older prehuman species that were confined to Africa
You are right of course... I was just nitpicking on the article text. Although I might argue that WWW isn't necessarily a 'good' indicator.... especially (as others have pointed out) if the 'growth' is attributed mostly to blogs, and viagra;)
I would have no problem with it. In my experience, the people using iBooks are rarely the security problem in a (Windows) network. Of course, I'd verify you had updated virus protection, etc.
As a small business IT support guy, I see this all the time. Lawyer X or Dentist Y grabs the latest laptop deal from Dell, brings it to work, and finds out he can't connect to the 'server', which either leads to some kind of limited workaround or an overpriced 'upgrade' to Pro, both costing them money (my time or a sticker, registry fix + more of my time). I'm always telling clients to ASK ME FIRST before buying something but as anyone in the same business will know, that can be rare.
The research could also have implications for use in large-scale emergencies and for transportation engineers seeking ways to better manage freeway traffic.
You mean better manage freeway traffic emergencies caused by people on their cell phones?
I should be able to say that if you want to use my work you have to stick your finger in a duck everytime you use it. If you don't like sticking your finger in ducks then don't use my work. Whats the problem? Nobody is forcing anybody to stick fingers in ducks
That's the funniest thing I've read here today. Thanks:)
While it's expensive (~$1000 USD) this is IMHO a great scanner. I know the article author is probably looking for something more moderately priced but for small business it's a great unit. I have many dental office clients that use it daily to scan xrays (you can get a full-sized transparency adapter for film negatives) for storage/EDI transmission and I've never had any complaints or defects.
Look at the pisspoor job he did on the Memory counter. I know the old chestnut of "a bad photoshop" can be applied here because all you have to do is look at the CPU/Memory count and you can see the freakin' grey box around it.
But, hey, maybe my eyes are going.
Actually, due to the 'Quantum' nature of this laptop, one can never really know the exact location of said digits and as such they appear fuzzy in the screenshots. This would also de-bunk the period/comma conspiracy.
... from the CCPC (read: RIAA) regarding disbursement of this stinky tax.
http://cpcc.ca/english/infoCopyHolders.htm
The Copyright Board designates the proportion of total royalties that forms the basis of CPCC's distribution amongst each of the three eligible groups: songwriters and music publishers, recording artists, and record companies. These proportions are recorded in the private copying tariffs. It is then CPCC's job to allocate and pay the royalties to individual copyright holders. CPCC and its constituent member collectives have developed a distribution process that is enabling royalties to be distributed fairly amongst tens of thousands of copyright holders.
Since no inventory of privately copied tracks exists, distribution is based on representative samples of radio airplay and album sales, which are given equal weight in the distribution. Together they provide a proxy for determining the titles that Canadians typically copy for private use. Internet usage is not referenced in the distribution as no adequate documentation of this activity currently exists. Samples are regularly used by copyright collectives because the cost of capturing and analyzing all available information would be excessive.
Recognizing the relatively modest level of collections for 2000, CPCC opted to pay out royalties for 2000 and 2001 in a single, combined distribution.
While songwriters and music publishers are eligible regardless of nationality, only Canadian recording artists and record companies may receive payments under current law. In accordance with the Copyright Board's decisions, royalties collected for 2001 and 2002 are allocated as follows:
66 % to eligible authors and publishers 18.9% to eligible performers 15.1% to eligible record companies.
The allocation for 2000 is: 75% to eligible authors and publishers 13.7% to eligible performers 11.3% to eligible record companies.
"The State Department said it was yet clear how this would work in practice." (I am assuming they meant to say 'unclear').
I love it when rules are created as a knee-jerk, shotgun approach. 'Let's just put this down on paper - someone else will figure out how to make it work later...'
...a band called UI. 2 bass one drummer...they've just added a fourth band member and have a new album out. My favorite is still their 'Sidelong' album.
Citrix is still around....they have an XP version as well as a Win2k version (Metaframe 1.8). It works much better than just RDP for remote application usage...especially on a server with 20+ terminal users...and especially for older applications. It also has some cool features like pushing client updates, better encryption options, etc....although I must say the RDP 5.1 protocol (with XP) is very close to the functionality of ICA (the Citrix protocol).
Well, you might have been lucky there...dunno.
In the AC's defense it can be quite difficult to remove wrongful entries on your credit rating. I've had some personal experience here with a local gas company - if they don't think it's an error then it's like pulling teeth:)
The Langley Research Center announced this week an agreement to use one of the computers, known as HAL (Hyper Algorithmic Logic)-15. Other customers that will use HAL-15 machines include the San Diego Supercomputer Center, the Department of Defense and Hollywood film companies.
