The advertising model for Banner Ads. is wrong. People dont stop watching TV because they saw a kewl ad, nor to they necessarily drop their magazine to dial a 1-800 number because of an ad.

Drive away customers, think wireless browsers, and accessability options.
Because they will charge you intrest and penalties that's why. And most peoples interest bearing account doesn't amount to jack. The only interest bearing accounts that I have that are worth anything are my 401k accounts. Most people would be better off making sure all your credit cards and auto-loans are paied off. If that's done you should put the $$$ on their house if they are buying one.
Best bet,(IMO), don't owe, don't pay. They way you aren't floating the IRS a loan and you won't have to pay penalties or interest.
This sucker is damn impressive. The only thing that has come close is the X-15, and that was a rocket with wings, this one uses a rocket to get it up to speed for the engine to take over.
It's not the speed of the aircraft that counts so much, but how it gets upto that speed. People keep trying to compare this sucka to the SR-71, and they're very different.
The air traveling through the SR-71's engine is moving sub-sonic, the moving through the scram-jet is super-sonic. Very big deal.
Mach 3 to mach 5 is also a big deal beacuse other non-linear areodynamic effects take over. That's also a 66% increase. Try and get a 66% increase out of a commercial aircraft traveling at 500 mph. Oh wait we've just gone mach and desintegrated the aircraft.
So stop comparing this to an SR-71, not knocking the SR-71, it's a beautiful feat of engineering. So is the X-43A.
But seriously I believe that the equation can be reduced to a function of T . When you figure in the ideal gas law PV=nRT, air density is actually a function of Pressure which also is a function of height, so you can eliminate both height and pressure leaving only function of T.
Could sombody post the actual equation for determining mach?
Maximum Income: Build into the progressive income tax a 100% tax on all income, regardless of source, over ten times the minimum wage. With this Ten Times Rule in effect under today's extremely unequal distribution of income in the U.S., a 100% tax on income above ten times the minimum wage would allow us to cut the income taxes of everyone in the bottom 99%, by over half for the top brackets, by over three-quarters in the middle brackets, and totally for the lower brackets-and still generate about 40% more tax revenues than under the current income tax structure.
Crippeling finical motivations is not adequate to fix the problem. Companies and the people are trying to protect their way of doing business. this has happened everytime there has been a technological breakthrough that changes the way people live.
They need to learn to take advantage of things and re-align to do business rather than wasted billions of dollars trying to fight innovation and change.
As far as I'm concerned, AD&D was ideal for WotC much like MtG. Every month a new book would come out with more powerful stuff, and contridicting the already published rules. It's just the books weren't collectable.
Personally I think I'll stick with my Champions and Mekton habit.
BTW Hasbro's newest release of D&D looks pretty good, and they threw out most or the stuff I really hated about T$R. But I think the idea of 'character' levels still sucks.
Although AMD, Motorola, Infineon and Micron are partners, Intel negotiated contract terms that let it get the first machines produced.
Really smart on Intel's part, if they can't beat AMD from design to production, they'll at least make sure they get a head start and have the equipment first.
That is depending on whether or not the EUV actually beats EPL.

Get real, your training, and thus your career is your responsibility, so you better take care of it yourself.
Randall did what an awfull lot of us did (I certainly did). He circumvented a client's security (while still working for them) in order to hand them proof that they needed to fix the problem.
Unauthorized tampering with a client's passwd file, or other security measures is bad. It isn't your job to subvert a client's security procedured to demonstrate a problem. If you see a security problem you document and report it. If it isn't fixed you escalate as required by the client's policies. If the client continues to deny the problem, you let it drop, or you continue to file status reports, or whatever, but you never demonstrate it without proper and documented authorization.
Rember you are a guest in their system, do you go around picking the locks on peoples' apartments to prove that they need better security?
5% improvement, if I rember my thermo correctly, steam powerplants, i.e. most run at damn near carnot [sp?] effiecency already. That means that for stuff like coal, oil, and natural gas you aren't gonna get any more energy outa the plant for what you put into it, unless you make some fundamental changes, like using something other than steam to convert thermal energy into kinetic energy.
Perhaps AOL--Gremany should just shutdown entirely and explain to the people that they cannot do business under those conditions.
Then make sure that they take down every other greman isp as well "Whoops!, they're trading illegal MP3s as well". This includes the isps that music industry uses as well.
Linux is in an endless beta. There is always another patch. There is always a new chunk of code.
Duh. Welcome to Free Software, babe. That's the whole *point*. So much better than "gee, I hope they make a hotfix at some point in the future to cure my woes".
Um this isn't just a Linux problem. MS and Sun are a allways releasing patches to fix problems. In fact just about the only time they stop releasing patches for a version is when the next version comes out. Sounds pretty much like beta to me, just under a different name.
What is the difference anyway? Well, a college guidebook could tell you 'computer engineering deals mostly with hardware' and 'computer science deals mostly with software', but that isn't clear enough for me.
Prehaps I'm a clueless, but what part of hardware vs software are you not clear on?
Perhaps if you don't know the difference, you should just pick one and not worry about it. You can allways change your major later, when you have learned what the majors are all about, and the difference between hardware and software.
This is just lovely, Oshii[sp?] is gonna take another story by Shrio and strip every last ounce of humor out of it. Leaving the main character a boaring, brooding, 2 dimensional killing maching.
Can't you give it another name ? (Propose it as a tweak !)
Dutch is a wonderful language. Currently we are debating about the names "Herfstvrucht", "Angstschreeuw" and "Koeieuier". Other suggestions are welcome of course. Derek Brown, Toronto, Ontario, Canada, proposes "bob".
When are these people gonna learn the restricting your audience isn't gonna actually increase sales, and stop wasting their money researching crap like this?
You hit the nail on the head though with your mercenary description. "The price for using GPL code, is the code."
In my opinion that really isn't free.
(Aside: So you hate people for their views on copyright? Nice...)
You are only partially right there, I hate Stallman because he is a Zealot, (perhaps I should say self-rightous zealot), about his views on copywrites. Everybody is entitled to their opinion, personally I think copywrites should expire something like 20 years after publication, to me thats incentive to keep doing new stuff.

Rather than asking somebody else to ressurect Jserv, why don't you do it yourself?

Lawyers are also expensive. It probably cost the company more in Lawyers fees than the actual judgement.

Good: I don't have to worry about 100+ irrevelant titles covered by the RIAA.
Bad: The filters can also possibly block out the non RIAA covered titles.
I haven't listened to radio in over 3 months, and have picked up exactly one domestically released CD in the past year, and that was still an import!

Perhaps you should check out Sysadmin, they're a little more than a fly-by-night operation. They have been publishing articles supporting Linux.
BTW Supporting != Advocating
However I don't necessarily agree with all the solutions presented their articles.
Perhaps AOL--Gremany should just shutdown entirely and explain to the people that they cannot do business under those conditions.

I suspect that disposable phones will be about as popular as disposable cameras.
Probably a neat idea, but not for everybody, I personally like my phone with things like built in caller id and phone book.

Doesn't sound free to me.
And becasue he a Zealot about what he defines as free.
Some anal FSF twit will probably nitpick this statement apart, but WTH, I have some Karma to burn.
The RIAA is a monopoly and should forfit its right to defend the copywrites of its member companies.
But that's just my opinion.
I want my own record label so I can sue people and get a corporate welfare check from CD manufactures.
