    No, you don't sound nutty or anything.

  2. Other countries.. on US Intelligence Planned To Destroy WikiLeaks · · Score: 1

    "China, Israel, North Korea, Russia, Vietnam, and Zimbabwe have denounced or blocked access to the Wikileaks.org"

    To me, this means we should be helping them & not trying to destroy them.

    Don't kid yourself. Most multi-national corporations would feed their employees directly to a wood-chipper if it was legal & profitable.

    Spot-on sig for this discussion too.

  5. IRS on IBM Stops Disclosing US Headcount Data · · Score: 3, Insightful

    If one hand in our hopelessly inefficient government knew what the other hand was doing, they wouldn't even have to ask IBM for these numbers, they could just use tax information from the IRS.

    This is a non-story.

    It's called rubbersheeting & and some GIS suites can help you do it, or have extensions that will. Pretty sure AutoCAD Map can do it too if you have Raster Design installed.

    Yeah, but as long as I can play Dragon Age, Fallout 3, NWN2 & Unreal Tournament III @ their max settings (which I can), I'm a pretty happy guy.

    Good point. I just got a quad core Phenom II last month. The approximately equivalent Intel processor was as much as the Phenom & the motherboard I bought combined.

  12. Re:actually no. on Ubisoft's Authentication Servers Go Down · · Score: 1

    We are a small shop & while I don't actually pay the bills, I am the only one who has anything to do with installation or licensing of any of the GIS software. After a little research it became apparent to me that my single-user install of ArcGIS neither expires nor needs a hardware dongle. I'm guessing your yearly fee per seat is much less than what we straight-up paid to license the software. Guess I was trying to compare apples to oranges.

    So which AutoDESK software expires? We also just bought MapInfo 10, do I need to worry about that expiring? Just curious.

  13. Re:actually no. on Ubisoft's Authentication Servers Go Down · · Score: 1

    Which AutoDesk & ESRI programs do this? I have ArcGIS 9.2 as well MapInfo 10 & 2 different versions of AutoCAD MAP (all legal) installed on my workstation & have never ran across any mention of "yearly licensing".

    I had been using ArcGIS 8.2 & MapInfo 8 for a *few years* until I recently needed to upgrade for various customer projects & have never heard or ran across anything like what you are describing. AutoCAD 2002 still installs just fine at home.

    Please, educate me.

    I dropped a Kingston USB drive in the parking lot at work & didn't realize it was missing till 2 rainy days later. When I found it, it had been ran over by at least one car & was sitting in a puddle. I let it dry out, bent the connector straight, plugged it in & got my data off of it.
