I do not agree that the Hotel should pay anything. The talk about the system for 1800. The hotel shows the VERU highest level of system. The sub sections (ie room numbers) that not bases in the system.
There is no Trademark infringement in my eyes. Just another greed company with it hands in every's one public pocket tring to justify its existance.
My bet is if you wnet to corporate headquarters all you will find 75% unpaided A/R clerks.
It is ok bacause Homeland Sercurity buying all Microsoft the worm and virus writers will be caught in the world largest honeypot. All those nasity agents will only be running around trying to find ways to keep their equipment running.
I still have them on "my" new computers. IBM found that managers anc upper level management liked the lights from the old main frames and minis. So they install them today more for show.
SO what do you mean that million dollar computer does not have a blinkiing light so we know that it is being used?
Same idea as the blinking security light on your car's dashboard.
I would not say so, since the now have more interaction with locals for sales of crops and goods.
I would guess, any nomatic tribes of eskimos, or very small islander where the cost of cell towers compared to return (ROI) makes so that phone companys NEVER would place one there.
Even in the US, that are still large parts of the land that will NEVER be covered by a cell tower and people live there year-round.
The point is signed it. Now if a programmer with the rest of your electronic card information attaches it to another account "acidently" - how are you prove you did not sign it?
That is where by never signing one of those things, you have position in court to support your claim. IE were is the paper receipt? He are my cleint's other paper receipts.
I have written one too. Mine makes the sig from 300 to 800 bytes. We were using cell phones as our backbone, some 8 years ago.
Basiclly, fax logic, with three encyption levels. sig --> non-black,black,non-black,black; --> left handed loading encrytion --> standard encryption. Was a fun project to do, but I would not sign my name even during testing. I drew trains and planes (was for the travel industry).
Depending on fuel source for these new batteries...
Take some nichroming wire less than a few inches (from a crock pot) add little extra wire for connecting to second battery (like a headset for a walkman). Wrap nichroming wire around fuel cell and plug in.
For a better power source, use an electic razor cord and attach to longer nichroming wire, plug into bathroom power.
I am suprized anyone is allowed on a plane, considering how any thing carried on can be a weapon.
It least the planes should start offering a true 110/220 at every seat... with child guards for little ones.
Then again if they push the date outside of the contracts (the pre purchase of future releases) that M$ forced business into, then business will have to buy again, what they already bought.
More dollars without service. It is nice to see marketing get back into the driver seat at M$.
And add to that Microsofts own security patches that reenabled closed ports and disabled other protections that sysadmins but into place so the SQL worm could infect the system.
I know of large company that install quake servers 6 years ago to help balance 3 T3 lines. The quake servers (w/ players) gave a continous load that was easy to define and route, which helped in supporting a very large website.
That is way you use generators!! Batteries are there until generators come on line. What is why you do not want digial phones in your home as your only phone. They rely on your house power. MA Bell (or kids) still use generators to help keep your phone on, so 911 will work.
The best system I have seen was in Caribbean. A single base cell tower... Batteries to keep on line for 30 minutes and THREE generators each with THREE fuel tanks, and all buried. Any generator with 1 fuel tank would run the system for 24 hours, including satellite uplink. That is a total of 9 days without refueling. This was to insure that if a hurricane came though and the tower was standing, it was still on the air. They also had spare towers to be setup in less than 4 hours.
Unplugging for 5 seconds did not reset the board - the Caps where large enought to keep it working for at least 30 seconds. Some with fewer parts or early build lasted almost a minute.
We had problems getting them to count to five while pressing the reset... counting to sixty while pulling the power would be a joke.
By disconnecting power and removing the cord, then describing it to us, killed away over a minute. So we knew the board did a herd reset.
But at issue was not the HOW you treated him, but the WHY.
I have done tech support for over 20 years becuase of all the roles I have had in creating software. By the time I normal;y got the problem, it was VP yelling.
You have to start off controling the customer experance but explaining HOW you are going to determine what is wrong, and appligise for putting the person through the experence. This in almost every case (I have not had problem) calms all down and gets the process done quickly.
One old piece of equipment, its reset button required the user the hold it and count to five. We could not get a user over the phone to do that. So instead we requested that the bring the power cord back to phone to help determine the model. Of course the cord was a standard "PC" style of cord we use today. But that trick allowed the machine to fully reboot. After words we explained why did have them do it. And they all laughed and UNDERSTOOD why we did it. It made both sides have fun. What we liked was some of these guys we did this too, started to use the same methods with their internal people for the same reasons.
The better stories though, were telling them to disconnect the equipment and drop it on the floor... We had a few arguements about breaking the equipment, and we pointed out that IT WAS FULLY WARRENTED, that was why you called us in the first place... You called because it was broken, and if dropping it does not fix it, we would still be sending them a new box. So what is the problem?
Box was a single flat board with a heavy metal backing - dust built up on it over years of use, dropping knocked the dust loose.
What you are "missing" both are possible. The nature of Philp K Dick stories on a whole is to explore the meaning of reality.
Just look at Do Andriods Dream of Electic Sheep (cut down to Blade Runner) explores the meaning of being human. It is a shame that movie touched so lightly in this subject.
VAT is normally charged on BOTH ends of the purchase. So a wholesaler buys an item, he pays VAT in the transactions (note VAT can be 0%, Italy use to have three different 0's). Then sales the item to another he collects VAT in that process. So the different between the VAT he paids and the VAT he collected is sent to government.
And yes in UK, current there is zero VAT to be collected on used items sold by the user. Note 0 VAT is not the same as NO VAT. If user took the used item and makes a picture out of it and sells it, VAT is needed to collected and different between paid and collected is forwarded to the government.
Just becuase UK does not CURRENT want every citizen sending in their VAT vouchers does not mean that they do not want the money.
The issue is the Value Added Transaction/Tax (VAT) that is preformed. Use and discard has little value. Now if you require a collection of VAT on that item - you would have to refund the VAT paided because the item lost value.

And the ribs were excellent! The slow controlled cooking really helped break down connective tissue so those bones just slid out.

I been having problems with ground faults.
Now, I have to worry about sky faults too!!
And with 75 Mega-new-Tons. If this thing gets a short, it will be Hiroshima all over again.
Make world stop, I want to get off.

Which then leads:
Why do people sign electronic pads at stores when they use credit cards?
You have just placed your last protection of who you are in a computer system that you have no control over.
Real dumb.
Then again if they push the date outside of the contracts (the pre purchase of future releases) that M$ forced business into, then business will have to buy again, what they already bought.
More dollars without service. It is nice to see marketing get back into the driver seat at M$.

Which is exactly what this guy did...
:-)
So he pressed the "any" key to get into the bios so he could boot from the CD.
So in the end he agreed.

You fool... How do you know they unpluged it in the first place?
I just do not get why the science community is so surprised...
Do not the Bigfoot and Abominable Snowman Clans need time off for vacation from time to time.

I just hope they do not remove the muffers to get more horsepower. Those blade boxes sound like a commerical jet at take off without those muffers.
helps to get the link right by not hitting the wrong button.
I prefer WIZARDS. A dark movie between magic and technology.

VAT/PST/Sales Tax are so much fun.
