Phone line cost is expensive too. I think the other guy is right, paying for a leased line would be the way to go.
15 phone lines X 20.00 a piece =$300.00
(trust me education doesn't get as huge a discount as you would think, though they probably own their own pop inwhich the extra lines arn't as expensive)
2 Reasons FM is used more than AM.
1. FM was the first to have stereo (meaning left and right sounds, infact FM was created for stereo). So it became the norm for stations to use FM for music, and AM for mono talk radio. Eventually stereo AM was developed, but never used, very few radios support stereo AM as it would be an extra cost for a feature they fear noone would use. It won't exist until customers start demanding it, and they never will.
2. FM allows the radio to control the area they are broadcasting in for advertisment, it considered very bad to broadcast into an area that doesn't carry the product your selling. While AM tends to bounce around everywhere, and you have little control.
Of course, neither FM nor AM radio can carry much bandwidth, but thats not the point of this discussion, or what it the entire point?
I know you were joking, but just to inform the stupid, as I hate to let people get misconceved, poena in latin is "Punishment".
So pubpoena means under punishment.
Though thats kinda abusing the English use of under to mean more than below.
The type of memory in CMOS is very expensive, and needs very little power (you can remove the CMOS battery (while its off) in modern systems for up to a few hours and it will still maintain its memory). Regular memory is much faster, but needs constant 2.5V at around.02 watts per MB for DDR (couldn't find specs for a a regular DIMM, but I know they run at 3.3V probably a few less watts)
I thought RMS lived outside of the US?
I could be very wrong though. I just remember him talking about how he isn't traveling to the US anymore sense the case with the ebooks. Or was that someone else?
Ok, so the money wasn't exaclty stolen. What comparison would you buy.
A con-artist would be forced to give all of the money back plus some. (which would be a fine way of dealing with MS force companies to give an extimate of how much damage MS has caused them, then give them 20% of that figure (I'm saying this because companies overestimate damages to the point of about 5x))
A company who sells you goods that don't work and offers no warrenties would eventually get punished and forced to replace items for free.
I could come up with more examples, but I'm tired. I ain't got now job, so how can I pay the rent.
I'd pay $100 per month for separate unlimited access accounts for everyone.
Umm you can share any isp account however you want. You would just need to get seperate email accounts, most offer them for free or a dollar or two.
Reverse engineering of patented inventions is illgal. I'm sure its legal, but basically unessesary, as the infomation is in the patent. If there is something in the patented invention that needed reverse engineering so you can create a different item that worked with the patented item that didn't violate the patent. Sounds legal to me.
Ok the moon is already going to crash into the earth in about a trillion years.
Suppositivly if we were to switch all of our current electric needs to tidal we'd only change that time we have left by a few hundred years. Not a big deal really.
I know I'm waisting my breath, I'm just in a silly mood today.
I expect to be able to configure Linux as I configure Windows2000. You can, you just have to know what your doing, its not like someone who spent their entire lives working on a Mac could just sit down and expect to be able to configure a full Windows2000 enterprise solution without any problems, so why should be expected to be able to sit down at linux and be able to run it without any learning.
Convert to VB? VB is a programming language nothing more, I'm sure if someone really wanted to they could write a VB compiler in linux,
(working around the obvious hooks to windows api) but why?
There is absolutly nothing slow about C, though I personally prefer C++, slowness is in the coding method and the complier, there is nothing "slow" about C anymore than any other language. Anyways it all comes down to the classic vi/emacs war, you can produce the same results with both of them, its just a matter of what your comfortable with.
Ok, I don't know why you bothered posting this, probably pointless flamage you post freqently, but I just thought I'd comment. First of all your VB experience doesn't mean anything in linux, I'm pretty sure there isn't a linux compiler for VB. Second of all you said you configured the system from scratch, and recompiled all the programs in what you believed to be a better compiler. Sounds to me like you built everything yourself, then blamed someone else when it didn't all work perfectly. Personally I have never (never meaning sometime after linux became well known, of course in the early days in had to be done by scratch) heard of anyone who first introduced themselves to linux without the help of a basic distribution. So either your a lier, or an idiot.
Posting +1 cause I have karma to burn!!
Yes, infact most of the U.S. referes to it as gas. Not because we don't know any better, but simply because to the American tounge, petrol sounds so stupid.
And then immediently return it stating that it wouldn't play on your cdplayer (there are many audio cdplayers that think to much like a computer to play these cd's.) They can't prove that your making it up, and your increasing the precent of returns. If you just bought it and kept it, ekk. But then again I've always considered buying/copying/returning very immortal.. oh the agony. Hmm Buy/figureouthowtocopyforlearningpurpusesbutdestro ycopy/return
I can deal with that.
Or buy just to return. Now thats the ticket.
How often has it been said that the first MS Office user in an office eventually "forces" the whole office to upgrade, simply by passing around files in the latest default format.
I remember one computer our office got last year, it installed 2000 by default and when I tried to remove it and install a site licensed copy of 97 it installed, but told me I had an invalid license whenever I tried to run any of its programs. I later tried to reinstall with a win98 disk. But I couldn't get the device drivers out of the install disk as it was locked to only be used as a reinstall everything disc from boot. Tried many things, never could get it working perfectly without just letting it be on office 2000. So as our site licenses offered us 2000 Prof for less then 50 dollars a peice I went ahead with the upgrade. I do like office 2000, but still embarrased that I let MS get the best of me:(
IT depends upon the projector, if its a television projector, probably not, but you can decrease the dot pitch in the text till its readable. If its a projector made for computers, its very possibly, you probably won't get much more then 800X600, but the letters are so big and nice, who cares.
Yes, but they think that XP's release will help the computer economy, which it will for a shorttime. Right now this is the only thing that is important, to the government, and I have to agree. Wait a few months, then slap their butts around:)
That depends upon if your running a browser with multiple language support. Its really easy to add if your computer is setup for such language, only problem is not all computers can view it.
is it their fault for choosing an OS that doesn't provide someone to sue? Yes, it is, even though linux comes is distrubutions, its basically a "build your own OS", like a "build your own house", you can't sue if the construction was shotty. But a real house you can.
Thats assuming those people 1 can't get any work done just because their computers are down. and 2. That those people would be completly worth their pay each and everyday. Alot of people spend alot of days twiddiling their thumbs, just have to make sure that they make up for a full day of thumb twiddiling the next.
Personally the only way I can believe a lose of X, is if you can actually show on paper that the company made X amount of dollars less that month compared to the previous month and the next month. You still have to take into account shaking economics right now.

It was a typo, I meant to say
"I ain't got no job"
It was intended as a quote btw from a song.
Can you post the replies you got?

The first part of #5 was the "myth". While the second part was the fact. Just like the other 4.
Yes, it was intended as a joke, did you not see the Aristole and church reference.

Yes, you can often get mailing list as one daily "digest." He made up a word there, kinda sick really. But you know.

Just curious, what do you dread about via chipsets? I hear the new 266A is freaken awesome (can't buy it yet though :(
