  1. Re:archive? on WSJ's Online Subscriptions Outperform Print · · Score: 1

    yes, the online subscripion has access to the past 30 days of articles for free, and also articles from DowJones newswire, Barron's and a couple others I think... Older issues and reprints are available for a fee.

  2. Re:The real news on WSJ's Online Subscriptions Outperform Print · · Score: 1

    well, I think the $356 figure is inflated, and I dont' knwo how many people really pay that much. I pay $120/year for both the print and online editions (grad student, education discount)... however I know I've also gotten subscription offers at work ('corporate subscription') that put the price of the print edition at somwhere less than $200... so I'm not sure who's paying $356, and if they are, they're not learning much from the WSJ as far as smart money management.

    yes, it was Mapquest that used to have the 'aerial photo' option.

  4. Re:3Com's history on 3com to Compete with Cisco · · Score: 1

    Amen, samed thing happened to me, I used to be a network engineer for a regional Reseller, and we had just outfitted 3 entire school districts with Corebuilders in each of the schools, as well as several businesses with 3Com routers, prior to their exit from that market. We ended up losing all these customers (all their network and PC needs) because of 3Com....

    gee, I've killed quite a bit with guns, but never a person..... deer, coyotes, wild dogs, rattlesnakes.... seems to me my guns have plenty of uses other than killing someone.

  6. Re:has the targeted demographic really changed? on Attack of the Clones · · Score: 1

    yea, kind of hard to actually see the movies for the first time as a kid, when he was just born in 1979....

  7. Re:Numbers on Fast Track to a CS Degree? · · Score: 1

    Consider yourself lucky to have a corporate-wide limit of 15%/year. At my company, that limit is set to 5%. You could work your butt off, but per the Board, 5% is the max, unless of course you change position/get promoted. However, it is a stable environment, and I negotiated a good starting salary, so even 5% is ok for now, at least until the economy improves.

    It's a Certified Information Systems Security Professional. Why does that not sound reasonable. Don't knock the guy, it's not an easy cert to get, trust me.

  11. Re:X10 on Using Webcams as Remote Security? · · Score: 1

    I wouldn't worry about that X-10 has been around forever... I used to have X10 light switches hooked up to my old commodore 64.... they've always had decent equipment, IMHO

    'IT' doesn't stand for anything, "it" is just 'IT'... as in 'Look at IT!!, I got IT,

  15. Re:No authority on eLection '04 · · Score: 1

    I don't think creating another federal agency is the solution. Perhaps the whole problem isn't the government taking the election seriously, maybe it's the people that didn't take the time to thoroughly check and double-check that they knew how to fill out the ballot. If someone feels it is important for them to vote, than it should also be important enough that they understand what or who they are voting for before they cast their vote.

  16. Re:Military on Ask the Presidential Candidates · · Score: 1

    'Guns may be a leveler, or a deterrent...but does that stop violent crime in its tracks? No. Getting rid of all guns does. I'm not telling you how to do it, that's not my place' really, so there is no violent crime in places like Canada, Australia, the UK?? And as to getting rid of guns, that all goes back to the argument that you can make all the laws you want, but criminals ARE criminals because they break laws why would they get rid of THEIR guns because all the law-abiding people do??
