I don't monitor the PC. I monitor the router. Whether I'm watching or not, the router log gives me a good general idea on where time is spent. All the PC's have static addresses so linking site visits to who is not difficlult.
I do let them know it is monitored and some sites are blocked. It helps keep them within the use guidelines for the privilage.
I would offer to exchange the key to my account with a key to his house front door or his email account. He can accept the exchange or reject it. When the shoe is placed on the other foot, the view of the request changes perspective. Whatever excuse he uses to not provide them to you, you use the same. If he does exchange keys, have fun.
That tax is why you can't buy parts for 20 year old oddball collectible cars and antique stereos and jukeboxes. They implemented the tax and all slow moving taxed inventory went to the dump.
Oregon does not have sales tax. They do have an inventory tax. The inventory tax is not only on your product, but on your furnishings and equipment. States to provide incentives to attract businesses. A couple of the largest businesses in the state are Nike and Intel. Nike distributes shoes mostly made overseas. Their inventory is relatively low and their inventory value is relatively low.
On the other hand, Intel does manufacturing in Oregon as well as a good portion of R & D. If Intel was taxed at the same rate for inventory as Nike, they would not be in Oregon at all. The equipment for manufacturing IC's is several million dollars each. Intel negotiates with Oregon for a break on the inventory tax and brings to the table the rates they pay on other locations such as New Mexico, Ireland, Israel, etc. Oregon is well aware if they didn't offer this incentive, Intel would no longer be in Oregon.
Oregon is well aware that Intel contributes way more to the state of Oregon than Nike. Trying to "Tax them fairly" will result in the loss of Intel in Oregon. Intel is by no means getting no taxes. Intel contributes heavily to the local infrastructure and education.
It sounds to me like Texas has attracted Amazon with a temporary deal and it has expired. Amazon has not been able to extend the deal. Now the party is over.
Amazon may owe Texas a quarter billion dollars, but this is the last year. They are not remaining as Texas expected them to. Texas expected they were too big to fail. Surprise..
His really big mistake was admitting to the destruction in a message that was recordable.
The proper response is "what drives, I can't find the drives you are talking about." and said no more. There would then be nobody tailing garbage trucks. A useless search for the missing evidence can proceed with little chance of success. Later you can in private on a secure location pass the info of the job is done.
Of the 3 computers I use most often, I can only read Slashdot on one of them, my netbook.
IE8 at work is completely useless. no more break time visits.. For some strange reason all the articles are off screen to the right with only the left edge of them teasing me that Slashdot has stories.
My older Firefox on Ubuntu has about 80% of the screen overlaid with the menu that was on the left but now extends full width, with mostly white space. This leaves a small gap at the bottom of the browser window where the stories can be scrolled underneath the always on top box. This makes it impossible to read the top stores because they can't be scrolled down to the bottom of the page to see them below the box. I think I have Firefox 3.5 on that one.
Did anyone do browser compatibility studies? Not all of us have a choice of browser on employer hardware.
Being non functional on 2 out of 3 PC's is my immediate feedback on the new version of Slashdot.
If I didn't have a netbook, I would have assumed it wasn't working at all for anyone. It works for Firefox 3.6.12.
In some cases the answer to a problem is not even from Redmond at all. Cost is not a factor. What works is.
I was given the task of recovering some ancestry records from a decade old backup. I found the.DOC files were in PFS First Choice 3.0 format. PFS from the backup worked fine. No much choices to export it. A Google search mentioned that Star Office will import PFS files and export them in Word format or Open Office can open the Star Office files. I located my copy of Star Office 5.2 and installed it. Installed the PFS First Choice input filter. Opening the files and then saving them as MS Word 97/2000 worked like a champ.
I bought Star Office from Costco and have the original sales receipt. It was 34.99 item number 377808. Receipt is dated 01/02/16. Other than this being replaced by Open Office, I would still be using the program. I like it better than the EULA from Redmond. The single copy is a site license for home use. I can legally install it on my network at home for multi user. It comes with Windows, Linux, and Solaris.
Guys, lean to leave no trace. Use a live Ubuntu CD for those searches. Use a public hotspot at the public library or coffee shop. There is no recorded history on the PC. The hotspot may have an untracable record of the search.
I would have expected Intel to have released drivers. They are involved heavily in Open Source. They have the Open Source Technology Center. Has anyone asked Intel about it?
I have a Motorolla i465. It exhibits this flaw. When plugged into a Windows XP Professional PC with SP3 installed, it won't charge. If I reboot on a Ubuntu live install disk, it charges fine. It seems to be a Windows flaw. It can charge on Windows, but only with the driver or with the phone turned off. It will charge a phone that is shut off. If I need to charge off the PC, I boot into Ubuntu and surf while it charges.
What was the worst thing about California, it was regulation that brought about the shortages that caused the price spike. Retail prices were fixed. Fuel costs went up. Unprofitable generation went offline for for repairs, maintenance, or upgrades, or simply shut down.
This was followed by a mild heat wave. The result was rolling blackouts as the cheap efficient sources were inadequate. New generation and transmission was not built due to lack of profit.
This lead to buying power on the spot market. Due to the price caps on the retail level and no caps on the wholesale level, and mandatory supply contracts, local governments were required to buy energy at the spike in the spot market and sell at fixed retail. This is where the meltdown started.
To make matters worse, the delivery was choked by an undersized transmission line in a corridor. This path 66 limited the amount of lower cost power that could be purchased from neighboring states. This made the local spot prices even more volatile.
The last repair shop I worked in didn't train me either. I already had my ISCET certification. It would be wise for the business to make sure the employees are properly trained for the positions they are filling.
Sometimes in a political move, lack of membership in a union is considered untrained.
For example, I am NOT a Union Electrician. I do have the NEC book. I do some electrical work and it passes inspections. Depending on who you ask, I am completely not trained to use a diagonal cutter and DVM.
What the job requirements are and what is the training and certifications of the workers is not well known. Ex Navy nuclear program personnel may have some training and not union members and not trained in civilian schools.
That password is too short to use on my site. A minimum of 8 is required. It looks like xyzzy and x-ray has fallen out of the top spots.. I must be getting old.
With a few modifications, it could sound much nicer than a toy piano. The plungers contact the bars too long. Examining a doorbell shows the plunger should overshoot the end of the electrical stroke to strike the bar and leave it free to resonate instead of remaining in contact to dampen the sound. Addition of either a cavity or tuned tube below the bar can give it the door bell or department store tone or a vibraphone with dampers in tuned tubes.
Without either, it sounds like Schroder's piano on Peanuts.
I always knew that Comcast as a Pay TV provider has a conflict of interest when carrying 3rd party video. As soon as there was an alternative to them for broadband, I switched. I expected this to become a problem.
Apple has been up to those types of hitchhiking installs for a long time. As a Winamp fan, I didn't need itunes at all. I wanted to install Quicktime. For a long time it was not available from Apple without the iTunes installer as part of the package.
I just checked their website to see if this was still the case. They fixed it. You can now get Quicktime with or without iTunes included. The without was not an option a few years ago.
I did this in the 1970's for a photography project using an SCR to handle the high strobe trigger voltage (used to be ~160 volts on the shutter contacts) and the amplifier from a portable tape recorder to amplify a microphone to enough voltage to trip the SCR. With a strobe mounted off the camera and the camera on bulb setting, I took pictures of light bulbs crashing onto the sidewalk. Due to the lighting angle, most people thought it was taken in the daytime in sunlight. I adjusted the delay after impact by changing the distance of the mic from the bulb. 6 feet provides a good delay. With the mic too close, the bulb looks like it is sitting on the sidewalk with a few cracks in the glass. The delay was necessary to get the bulb in a reasonable amount of shards.

The scammers are well aware of the Flash money that vanishes when the bogus deposit fails to clear much later.
Unfortunately, there are too many that are not aware of this and get taken.
Last time I used either was on a dial up BBS.
The fewer users the lower chance of being attacked. Those words are now included in any good dictionary attack.
That password is too short to use on my site. A minimum of 8 is required. It looks like xyzzy and x-ray has fallen out of the top spots.. I must be getting old.
At least my doctor asks me about paste and recent X-Rays I have had before administering another. I can even opt out of a medical X-Ray.
Most of the time I give the Doctor permission as it is related to fixing something.
The hazard to the flying public is well known. Look at the numbers of people opting to drive instead of fly.
Personally, I have not flown since the sexual assault or radiation as a requirement to fly. I drive more.
I am planning a vacation next summer. I don't have air travel plans.
With extra fees for luggage, carry on, and the whole shooting match of other costs beyond the ticket price, ridership is down and fuel prices are up.
Just look at the airline finance problems. Follow the money. Those not flying are staying home or driving. Fatalities per person/mile are known.
