....and allow them to stay healthy enough to remain at the top of the transplant list
Is this where it all starts? Seems whoever can pay for the good stuff will get the organs. Oh well, hope my HMO's covers this device, cause with my 3 pack a day habit I will need a new set of lungs in a few decades.
If you are in China and are working to circumvent their filtering of the Internet, even if is for your own "Western" eyes, could still be illegal. Personally I am scared shitless of the Chinese government, I worked out there for a few months when I was with EDS, and damn dude, it is another world.
Inverter and a Deep Cell battery (a marine cell is one kind of these) would be your best bet.
Scrap the inverter and go with a straight deep cycle and something to possibly step down or up the voltage to whatever level it needs. The laptop should take striahgt DC, and it would allow you better usage of your batteries juice.
No, a real tech would just use something along the lines of RAR or whatever to break the 40 meg file into reasonable chucks. But then again that would require a few seconds of forethought.
Have you ever seen what kinda of traffic that the Mac network browser generates? I have a buddy who works in a similar envionment (an advertising company) with all Macs and seeing as most Mac users don't know jack about proper computing they screw things up CONSTANTLY, not to mention when they email out 40 meg Photoshop files and other none tech savvy things.
Ok, lets be honest here, the context of the study was an Art college, Melbourne University's Faculty of the Arts, or at least I am seeing "art" in the name. From personal experiance, I can tell you that artists generally aren't the most tech savvy, generally aren't accomadating and frankly bitch a lot. I am sure support costs were much greater for the art types using wintel's. Now if they did a similar study at a regular college, that might tell us something.
You followed protocol, and gave your employeer notice, if you think the counter offer is genuine and you would really rather stay, then by all means accept.
As for that "10 reasons" link, it seems to have been written by a headhunter, to dissuade people being relocated to stay. In other words it is completely biased against counter offers cause it would cost the headhunter money if people accepted them.
If the cable companies want to lower their market share, more power to them. Personally I orginally went with cable, cause there was no bandwidth cap, then later switched to DSL cause it was faster and more realiable. Personally I would pay a little more if it was unlimited, and wouldn't choose any service that actively tried to constrain me.
What a good way to get free source material. "Submit your "contest entry", which becomes our property and we MIGHT give you the chance to win some money". Damn I need to think of such things.
What the hell did you title mean anyway?

Not sure what Garmin recievers these people have, I actually have both the etrex and the venture, and they work great, shit I regularly get 3 meter with my venture. Don't belive everything you read buddy. And lets be a little more constructive here and actually offer help, bot just slam things because we heard from someone that it wasn't good.

GPS Receivers?

· Score: 3, Informative
Here, this is the basic 99 dollar job, pick up the 20 dollar cable and you have what you want, updates every second.
If you want a little more percision then go with this, but the whole DGPS (less then 5 meter accuracy) thing only works if there isn't a large amount of trees or hills, it is about twice as much but comes with the cable.
Why doesn't the 99 dollar WalMart Garmin special with the Serial connector work for ya, should supply all the goods you are looking for. As for the whole accuray bit, that is really going to depend on WHERE you use it, lots of hills, trees and stuff overhead, might get 5 meters, but then again maybe not.
This is really for the most part used for consultants, sales and the like that travel a lot and really aren't in the office most of the time. Programmers, sys admins, admins and those that are in the office all the time still have real desks. And if you want to argue with me I work for Sun and I am a consultant and I had a desk the first year I was with the company and was in the office I think a total of 4 days. This kinda office enviunment makes sense if you understand the context it is used in.
Don't get me started on L. GOD Hubbards movies, and that sheep Travolta. Damn Scientolgists.
Disappointed.....

Review: U-571
·
· Score: 3, Insightful
In typical American style it seems the majority of comments on this sub are about how this movie is "ancient history". Heaven forbid we discuss anything over a week old, especially a movie as crappy as U-571. I just don't get it, I am surprised intelligent people, like those on Slashdot, would stand by while history is re-written in typical Hollywood style. Braveheart, U-571, Gladiator, etc etc all total farces, but our TV watching/taught populous takes it as the word of history. Oh well this society is doomed, we don't know where we come from and have no idea where we are going.
When my wife and I got married and she moved in she had an AOL account, which she hadn't used anymore, cause I had the house wired and put her on that. She called AOL and ran into the SAME thing, we can piggy back on your cable, you should leave, drink the koolaid. They make it such a big hassle that it isn't worth canceling, almost.
On a wierder note I got a letter from a collections department of Dial-America (some magazine subscription thing), they claimed I had made a commitment for 2 years of Time (a magazine I personally hate, prefer Newsweek) and I hadn't paid. So I called and it turned out that they had made some mistake or someone had done it from an address I didn't live at and a phone I didn't have. So they canceled it, but after that hassle they tried to sell me a magazine subscription. Like I am gonna buy anything from you guys after all that crap. Maybe the article is right, they are hitting up the timid and none native english speakers.
Have you ever even met someone receiving government assistance? Or are you just another of the Randroid motherfuckers who seem to frequent. Slashdot, speaking from a position of privelege mom and dad earned once upon a time?
Yes, my mother and I were when I was little, after my father left us, but she worked her ass off get us off it and to get a degree so she could be something. So as for your accusation of me being unknowing you can kiss my ass. As for my posistion I have worked my ass off, paid to put myself through college, and have worked my ass off for everything I have.
As for that phrase I actually heard someone say that, and it infuriated me, that someone would have children for the purpose of getting more welfare. People who are on subsidy cause they want handouts and don't are worthless to society and shouldn't be popping out kids like pez for more money. Kids that for the most part they don't even raise. If you support that kinda of crap you are an idiot.
So suffice to say, the only moron is the one accusing someone of something that is completely unfounded
I know this has been said before, but just lie. Just tone down your resume a bit, say you were a field tech for a small and now defunct company and only made 15 bucks an hour. If you want send me your resume and I will help you curtail it for a retail job (before I was an engineer I managed a retail software store (damn that sucked).
Reguardless of what field you get into having a college degree will ALWAYS help you later in life to make more money and have more doors open for you. Even if you get a degree in basket weaving it is still a degree. On top of the job related benefits college is just too damn fun to pass up, not to mention a great place to get laid (I am sure I will get flamed for the last statement, but I don't think it can truely be argued against).
I was really hopeing that people would trade in stolen thumbs and such, but now that they can just make gummy replicas we won't see any cool underground trade in amuptated digits.:(
I guess my point is there aren't really any true "Anti-Spam" laws, there are ones that dance around the topic, but nothing that comes out and says that if you send unsolicited email then you are liable for something. Maybe you are right and maybe that woldn't even be effective.
As for getting the IP, you can go back to the ISP and work with them, if that doesn't work you initiate action against the ISP (if they are unwilling to help or stop). Where is the spam you are getting coming from? Is the person still using your domain? Have you kept track of the time and server resources it has cost you? What type of communications have you had with the offending ISP's?, I don't mean emails, have you written any letters? (since for the most part leagally emails mean nothing, though I am not a lawyer, that is just what a friend who is a lawyer has told me).

Should effectively transfer all the needed knowledge, and a little of each persons personality, but that might not be such a bad thing.

All it would take it a size block on the email server and a few second of explaining to people what not to mess with.
Trust me, he tried that many times, and explained it MANY MANY times, didn't help, seemed the artists had the attention span of fruit flys.
