You got laptops with 20" screens now, why don't they put larger keyboards on those very same laptops? Those ittybitty chicklet keyboards kill hands for just about everyone I know that use them, save for the odd elf. They got alot of area on the laptop to place additional items like USB ports, relocating that %#$*()&! speaker jack, loads of other items can go in that blank space now.
Work the channels and the chain of command so that they will have a paper trail to go back on so that they can at least attempt to remedy the situation.
A Closed Captioning for the Humor Impaired system... I assume that would be a supersized Cluebat.. Aimed at their central nervous system (be either up in the skull or down between their legs), would be extremely effective.
No way jose.. The current release of Netscape has more serious bugs in it's UI than IE and FireFox combined. That is not counting the security exploits that the browser has in it as well.
Now if HP went the Open Source way and loaded FF and TBird in it, i'd buy stock in the company and watch it soar.
So sorry.. But Netscape has fallen out of favor with the mainstream.
I think that this was a bubble of magma that spun off of a world, bubble and seethed close to the sun, then cooled down to a pockmarked, gas bubble fulled rock. Then a asteroid hit opposite of the picture seen here, blasting a good sized chunk off of the surface, leaving that odd bump in the middle of that crater.
Ooohs, Federal laws regarding Wiretapping comes into play here.. MediaSentry knew better than to take the money on this job. The Fed gets a foothold in this matter, that company might as well start packing boxes..
But a vast improvement over what the medical industry had back in the 60's and 70's. They had simple manikins that had rubber ateries and veins for students to try to draw blood or start IV's. Other manikins had electricial impulse generators that simulate any kind of heart rythium that the tester wishes.
On the downside, these ancient units required large amounts of support gear and broke down frequently. Not to mention the COST! At the time of introduction, a typical patient simulator ran nearly a million dollars 60's money. Pretty much the only institution that could afford these units was the military. Very few were bought and subsequently were not used very much due to the massive amount of downtime due to the mechanical and electronic complexity.
These newer units have shown a marked improvement in realisim, and dependability have resurrected the patient simulators as a new tool to educate a intern or student on new problems or new procedures. Hospitals are buying these units to provide CE (continuing education) for their staff for loss prevention and quality assurance of care.
Heh, sorry to say this, but I've lost two PRI cards and a pair of smart jacks due to power transients because the CO switched from battery to generator and back agian. Idiots had the gall to bill us 500 bucks for the calls to come out and swap out the fried gear so that we could diagnose the PRI cards. Glad we went wholesale on our dialups for that area, let a bigger company deal with a bigger idiot of a telco.
Jobs is batting a 1,000 on this one. "The music industry has done little or nothing to earn the raw profit off of iTunes sales."
The rebuttal from the industry shows how ignorant they are of the new economy structure that has been in place, for how long? 6 years.
My God people.. Wake up! It's the 21st century and you are employing your goons and torpedos in old-fashioned payola tactics and strong-arming old women for the sake of a few bucks instead of embracing the new economy.
Actually, I can see them introducing semi-crippled software that actually allows the user to remix, reedit and alllow short pieces to be ripped from music..
All for a short song that is.. ^.^
That is, IF they can get off of their old model marketing and see the light at the end of the tunnel.
Oh, I wish it were that easy. Goodyear lost two fairly new ships to weather incidents here recently. Metlife lost their Snoopy blimp in the late 90's to weather.
The airships are comparatively fragile when placed in line with the C-117 Globemaster III and the C-5 Galaxy.
Weather, for starters.. Folks seem to forget what happened to the first Zeppelin airfleet that was made by both the US navy and the brits.
They had made some wonderfull airships and were considered to be real plum assignments to have.
Just they underestimated Mother Nature. Both sides lost at least 4 airships before scrapping their airship fleets to sudden storms, squall lines and even a hurricane.
This Walrus maybe almost impervious to enemy fire and operating in the rear area, but when a sudden storm comes up and the thing aint secured, well.. Break out the torches boys, alot of scrap metal is headed to the recyclers.
I concur on this assessment. The JSC and Pentagon suits come up with several thousand of these so-called "contingency plans" each month, discuss them, run simulations with both computer, tabletop and paper games. With that information at hand they decide if it the plans are really effective and worth issuing.
Most fail.
Launching nukes are a political decision that has to be made with the understanding that the Commander-in-Chief's political career might get thrown into the toilet next election year, or sooner, IF the decision is not made upon sound advice from his staff.
This is mostly a "Chicken Little" article over a paper tiger exercise. Nothing to really worry about, unless the Joint Chiefs are in on it from the start.
Every president ever since day 1 of this country has had preemptive strikes established as part of a contingency plan to secure "national security".
Here in south Texas we have semi-desert scrub conditions (sand, wind, heat, humidity). PLUS, we have contractors that work continually in sandy, gritty conditions. So the laptops are pretty much subjected to what you'll experience in Iraq and the other mideast countries.
The best laptop IMHO, for that climate would have to be Panasonic's Toughbooks. These dimwits would leave ordinary laptops in their trucks all day long with the windows rolled up (130F+!) and the LCD's would be black as night.. Simply put, ruined!
The toughbooks are rated to 120F working and 130 powered off so it can take the beating that they get down here and keep on ticking.
They are thin on protection when they are first bought (no AV or firewall). But loaded with the goodies needed for OTJ operation (long legged batteries, GPS/Wireless capability, gasketed doors on all connections and drives). They weigh a ton, but are as tough as a H1 Hummer, if not tougher.
The price? Better break out the wallet and prepare to pay for that mil-spec toughness... 4 grand for a well-outfitted unit, ready to rumble.
If you can, get a expense account to buy your gear since you are going to be working with it on the job.
Too late.. My 400 watt Antec will make my lights flicker when it gets plugged in and charges the caps on it's primaries and secondaries.
*Peers at the sticker and does some math.* The average lighting circuit for any given part of a home is usually assigned either a 15 or 20 amp breaker. This mutha with a full head of steam might come close to making a breaker jump or blow a fuse.
NEC and local codes mandate for a given appliance that draws more than 15 amps on any given load, it must be placed on a dedicated circuit with it's own breaker, rated 15-30% over the maximum load.
We are getting to the point where personal computers will have to have their own power outlets on their own breakers, just like your regular home appliances and air conditioners.
So if the lights dim or your breakers start jumping when you hit that power switch, it's time to call an electrican in to get that dedicated power outlet installed.
It sounds like the marketers are whining becuase their new toys are broken.
Heh.
We were doing just fine before the advent of the cookie and malware. Now don't get me wrong, certain cookies are nice to have around to remember your preferences for newegg and slashdot. But we can do without the malware business, that's for sure.
We have one perfect marketing method that predates even the printed word: That's Word of Mouth. These days we got our forums, blogs and IM's to distribute news of how good or bad a product is or a how a company is performing. Peer advertising always bats a 1,000 when it comes to marketing. Take a look at the legendary killer apps and you tell me how much marketing they actually spent on. WinAMP? Word Of Mouth via IRC. Winzip? WOM and out of need.
You push a product TOO hard and you are going to drive your prospectus away from you.

It it WERE Windows, that poor Cessna would have been overloaded.
Woe to the poor bastard that breaks the landing gear struts on a vintage Skylane.
"oops we're overloaded! *watches as the plane starts squatting down at the haunches"
"not to worry we'll get upgrades" *breaks out a set of floats*
*watches as the Cessna does a good imitation of Titanic sinking into the water tailfirst*
"I'm a lumberjack and i'm ok..."
*scritch*scritch*scritch*
Except for this itchy shirt!

Aint nothing new with this one.. Move along.
Heh, Try posting a note saying that if ANYONE's system gets a infection, you WILL break their fingers.
Hang a ballbat above your doorway.
Post memo.
Watch the infection related trouble tickets drop like a rock.

I'd rather have tons of false alarms than the system missing that one crucial moment when a diver is indeed in trouble.
