Went into local polling place (a local church/private school) about 1 hour after polls opened. No wait, gave name and address, signed book, given paper ballot and marker. Filled in the bubbles that are well spaced apart and dropped in ballot box which had tie straps holding it shut. My county never hopped on the electronic machine craze and I am glad, the large sheet and optical scanner works very well, at least for a sighted person. I was in and out in 10 minutes.
To me this is what the Retail version if for. If you don't buy it on your pre-built computer, you can go to a store and buy the retail version ot install on any coputer, one you built of one you bought pre-built. I always buy the OEM version since I do not need support.
So I disagree, I think the Retail version is for this purpose already.
Years ago, I used to go to paypal by going to x.com. It was so much shorted to type and it just redirected for me to paypal.com Then they made it the "labs" site and my shortcut was ruined.
What I find funny is I use Vista Business at home. The main reason is I use RDP everyday, and none of the Home versions come with it.
As far as I can tell is that the Home Versions come with Media Center, and I could care less. I just use iTunes and VLC for all my needs. (iTunes sucks, but I loves my iPod).
I was working on a Web App that has date fields. There is an example of how to format the date next to it and I put my wedding day. The spec did not call for any certain date. I can look at it years from now and see where I left my mark.
I do not get any more adventurous then that. Once were were going to make a database table called WEGAS, which stood for Who Else Gives A Shit, it was a list of people who wanted to be notified when the issue/ticket was updated. We chickened out and called it Notification.
Also if you have a small shop, then it is fun, but in a larger shop it is usually frowned upon. then you also may have to explain it in a code review. So just stay light like I do.
Once I wrote in the document about paging I put "Example page 7 of 9". to me this is an Easter egg. I could have but page 3 or 10, but that means nothing, and 7 of 9 works just as well.
Yes, I recommended they "look" as SugarCRM. I told them we that we could extend it and plug it into lots of different systems with just our in-house knowledge. But they have already gone too far down the vendor selection path and don't want to confuse the business folk, blah blah blah. Those managers are closed minded when is comes to FOSS. I told them there was a pay version, but I don't think Sugar showed up on the Gartner report they are using to pick a vendor.
Yes it does, for some things. Last year we replaced an oursourced Ticket tracking system wiht a LAMP solution grown inhouse. The "free" was a big swayer. Right now I am working on the next version that will replace another outsourced system with the same home grown LAMP stack. I did recommend a Open Source CRM system over the closed up commercial crapware they are looking at and I was slapped down.
It all depends if Management is open to it. You tell them Google and others run off this stuff and they understand how big those guys are. I tell them the commercial product you just bought has Tomcat and Apache bundled and it makes them think.
I have be building for over 10 years now and have been burned several times after using pricewatch.com to find the lowest. I have had really good luck with NewEgg and Buy.com. As for the parts themselves. I will NOT buy EVGA (Nvidia) again. 3 out the last 4 video cards went bust. I run ATI now, it is slower but at least it works.
I was in Las Vegas for Defcon and had not been in 4 years. The wife had come along and was very excited to go to the Star Trek Experience. That is when we found out it was closing. I got to go on it one last time, and the wife got to see it before it closed. I feel we were very lucky. RIP Star Trek the Experience. I will remember you always!
I was wondering why the talk was changed at the last minute. It was put on by a guy and it was mainly about the list of events about the discovery of the flawed cards. They are well aware of the flawed cards but are going to deploy them anyways.
It has to have 3 wheels, so it can be classified as a motorcycle. Once you got to 4 wheels it is a car and is required to have airbags, crumple zones and seat belts, and a whole slew of safety features.
So the fact that is this not a car but a motorcycle I think they are labeling it wrong, A 300MPG Car???, nope a 300MPG enclosed bike is what it is. Heck my wife's scooter gets 70MPG.
The previous post talks about rain a snow? Do you ride a motorcycle in the snow. Nope, same goes for this.
FCC was created to oversee the radio waves. Since that time they have continued to overstep their bounds. Another government entity that gobbles up power and tax money. They should have nothing to do with cable companies and who has access to what and what words or pictures are broadcast.
I had been using OpenOffice for a while, happy I did not have to pirate Office anymore for my simple budget spreadsheet. Even after using OpenOffice I sill saved in XLS. Finally one day I said, I will never need to use Excel again for this, why am I still using XLS. I remember it was a big moment for me. For once I finally felt ODS was a better format then XLS. Like most posters I save in OpenDocument formats at home, the wife and parents use OpenOffice too. But usually I PDF something or RTF if I am going to send it ti someone. Using OpenOffice makes me think about the format, I hate getting XLS and DOC files like the person who sent them thinks I can open them. Maybe I should sent them an image in EPS, see if they can handle that! Maybe compressed in a TAR.GZ.. Ha take THAT!
I used to pay $50 for a basic phone line. I thought it was crazy. Then I got DSL and I had to have the phone line for the DSL, but I never used it. I only used my cell phone. Then I moved to a city where Cable Internet was way better then DSL so I never got a land line and never missed it. Now I am married and the wife "likes" the regular phone over a cell phone, we ended up getting Vonage at $15/mo. That is doable for me. I never use it, It just rings and I say... its not for me, anyone I know knows mt cell phone. Do love the voicemail and the right price. $50 a month is just crazy. I expect the "land line" will go the way of the dial-up modem. Ha no long distance charges on Vonage just like the cell phone.
I dont care, just change the plug. I hate it. Who ever designed the rectangle plug wanted to inflict torture on us all. Firewire has a better plug, the other USB plug id better, the B side, the side in the printer. Why or why did they make to look the same so I have to fiddle to get it in.
I always thought the GUI was a little odd. I am not a fan of the floating toolbars, I like them docked. Even the newer Photoshops still have floating toolbars, at lease Dreamweaver got rid of them.
I just use the GimpShop version of Gimp as I am somewhat familiar with Photoshop, Gimpshop lays out the features in similar places.

The first rule of student loans, don't get one!
Ya, because audits uncover everything and make me feel all warm and fuzzy!
We surpassed it long ago. Just look at all the tricks they have to do to get food on the plate now. This is not going to end pretty.
OMG, from reading her Wikipedia article she is my ideal candidate. Amazing how to some these people are *crazy* and to others they are saints.

Couldn't have happened to a nicer company. Fuck you Comcast for killing my TechTV. I am glad this happened, good to get some egg on their face.
