It doesn't seem to want to deal with text files (there is no import feature for the Palm Desktop notepad or memo pad, for example).
Check out your hotsync settings.
File Link|Create New Link|Application (Memopad) | File Path (Select your file -- even a.TXT file).
It will sync the file to the palm EVERY time you sync. Works great.
You can EASILY install ANY file to ANY palm with an SD card using either a USB card reader OR install-to-card on the palm quickinstall menu.
This doesn't even begin to address 3rd party solutions available, too. I have a LOT of problems with palm -- but what you are complaining about isn't a weakness in palm, but a weakness in your knowledge of how to USE a palm.
My current palm is a Zire 72 -- and I'm quite happy with it. Aside from the paint peeling off (DUH PALM!), it's VERY stable. My few work-mates who have PPCs crash almost daily.
That would be the NORTH polar icecap -- as it's floating on water -- it wouldn't raise the sea level (just lower it's salinity).
The SOUTH polar icecap is resting on land... if THAT melts, it drains in to sea raising the sea-level. Do your same experiment, but hold the icecube above the water and let it melt. As it drips in to the glass, as you would expect, the level rises.
Funny that, but many of the things I've seen seem to indicate that if the ENTIRE polar ice caps melted, we'd see a rise of about 65 meters, not 200 meters. And that's if the ENTIRE cap melted -- I dont think anyone is suggest that possibility.
Maybe you just mixed up meters and feet? Your point is valid, however -- even 20 ft would be bad.
But would that happen? Global warming doesn't necessarily mean the polar ice cap will melt. The really interesting questions arise when we see the change in ocean salinity...
75% accepted that global warming was caused by human activities
Ok. How many of those actually attempted to show a LINK between global warming and human activities rather than just "accept" it?
Regardless, the final paragraph of the article begs a very interesting question:
Many details about climate interactions are not well understood, and there are ample grounds for continued research to provide a better basis for understanding climate dynamics. The question of what to do about climate change is also still open. But there is a scientific consensus on the reality of anthropogenic climate change.
The begged question is Will it be bad or will it be good? Wouldn't warmer climates provide more arable land? What I get out of this is "We dont know what it means, but it looks like at least SOME climate changes are caused by man".
I make decent money. Not great, but comfortable and enough to keep a roof over my family, put money in a retirement fund, private school for the kids, a "saftey net" savings account and we're getting ready to buy our first home. And this is in LA County with a high cost of living and the AVERAGE house runs about.5 mil.
I have been offered literally triple my salery if I were willing to move/commute over an hour away -- or move to another state all together.
I've turned them down. I've turned them all down. Why? Because I live in an "ok" area. I live about a 20 min WALK from work. My hours are of my own choosing (mostly) and I enjoy a huge amount of freedom with my employer.
I actually get to help RAISE my kids -- not just let my wife or some hired 'day care' raise them. Our children have never seen a 'baby sitter' other than grandma. They've never been picked up from school by anyone other than my wife or myself. You cant pay me enough to give that up.
I thought so too, but I've had a number of failures on the replacement drives as well. Granted, not as bad as the maxtors... but still pretty high. Of the replacements (40 some odd... drives), 10 have failed over the last 18 months. That's why I still suspect a heat/vent problem. Perhaps it's a combination of the two?
We had a large stock of 6 gig drives laying around and I dropped in a bunch of those last month -- if those fail, I'll have a better idea...
Maybe some voyeuristic ID thieves might have a reader implanted in a glove and grab your ass some night at a bar and they could get the number then
Or a small scanner/recorder/transmitter is placed under a theater seat, a park bench, a restaurant...
Just my opinion, but I have serious problems about ANY form of identification that doesn't need to be PHYSICALLY viewed/handled...
This could be (should be) just adding another layer of authentication to the "getting carded" process.
To what end? If it's another layer, and you STILL need to pull out your ID, how does this help? Perhaps as a replacement for the mag strip? I doubt this would be more efficent or accurate... At least with the mag-strip, you can hawk-eye your cards as someone handles them and you can SEE if they swipe it with some type of hand-held reader... It would be kind of hard to do that with RF if they had a scanner in their pocket they never had to remove...
Dont get me wrong, you brought up some interesting points -- but nowhere near close enough to convince that this is or can be a 'good' thing...
I understand just fine. Perhaps you dont understand the danger? Unless my RFID card does on the fly two-way communications with pass-key encryption, all someone would need to do is CAPTURE that 200 digit 'unique identifier' and clone it. You can viewed 'remotely' as me if you walk by a scanner. Or worse, knowing my name/address, you could construct a pretty convicing fake ID with your picture on it...
How would you feel about having an RFID chip in your driver's license?
I wouldn't like it.
How soon until you can buy a pocket ID sniffer/cloner? Or the plans become available on the latest 'warez' site? Great. Just by walking down the street 20 people can steal my identity...
Not JUST the 260s -- but there are a few included.
We're a medical lab. the environment is clean and fairly cool (72 pretty much all the time). Even office managers offices.
There's one of these back in the lab used for entering stuff as it comes in. Dusty (paper dust from opening request forms) as all hell. Haven't had a peep from this one either... Go figure.
AC Adaptors? I wish DELL would recall their low-profile workstations. In one year, we've had a 50% HD failure rate. At two years, 90%. That's not an exaggeration. Yeah, they replace them quickly -- but it's a pain to remove and replace the HD and restore the system from an image. Yes, it's do-able, but when it needs to be done 2 or 3 times a month? Sometimes more? Come on! Dell refuses to acknowlege the problem -- they just happily replace the HD evertime it fails.
I'm fairly certain it's a heat/ventilation problem with the case. I've got one I use for remote access in our server room -- I've left the case open. It's been running 24/7 for 2+ years.
I suppose doing a little research is too much trouble though.
It is for the 'average voter'. In my opinion, the average voter will not lift a finger to do even a small amount of research to find where a given candidate stands on issues. I had someone tell me that they were voting for Kerry because they were against the death penalty. Obviously they haven't read the Dem platform... They get all from TV/Radio and MAYBE news print. And USUALLY that image is often painted by the NEGATIVE compaigns from the opposition. Kerry hasn't been doing a good job defining himself publically (other than the Dem platform and his website). He should be doing that on the campaign trail.
Kerry's biggest problem right now is that he is focusing on Iraq. About 30% of his supporters believe what we are doing in Iraq is necessary and a good thing -- and the only reason they are voting for Kerry right now is based on the economy. The race is basically a tie and if Kerry pushes some of those 30% to Bush -- or at least causes some of those to stay home and not vote -- it can only hurt him. Attacking Bush on Iraq, in my opinion will NOT take voters away from Bush... but it will take them away from himself.
If in the debates, he continues to harp on Iraq, he's only going to hurt himself -- and in a big way. Kerry, if he wants to win, needs to stay focused on the economy and make people worry about it. Of course, between the two, I'd rather see Bush win -- so if Kerry wants to shoot himself in the foot, I'm more than happy to watch. (but it would be nice if we had McCain and Lieberman going head to head... I don't have that before me)
I'm not convinced either. I'm still waiting to see. BUT:
3. If the superscript "th" was a function of Word's Auto Format, why didn't it happen in the "111th" in the letterhead?
I see "111th" in superscript here (page 2 -- in the body, not the letterhead). Maybe the letterhead is real but not the body?
Interestingly, on page 1 of that link, you DO NOT see the superscript TH in 147th (item #3 in the body). BUT, notice there's a space between the 7 and the TH. That is consistant with something MS WORD would do. Interesting that you dont see it on the ST of 1st. Maybe it's a lowercase L and not a 1? They look VERY similar on times new roman. Or maybe the "1stLt." is ran together? I dunno.
I smell the fish, but I'm not ready to eat the chips yet...
(A) Who said voting was soley about the president? Local and state elections are much more important to the voter and have a greater direct impact on the life of a given voter. (B) Nothing. What makes you think he will be the same?
Once you receive your form in the mail, which takes approximately 7 to 14 days, you must sign, date, and return it by mail to the county elections official on the return address side of the voter registration card. Please make sure all of the information is correct and drop it back in the mail. We'll pay for the postage!
I can't speak with authority about other states.
You can also go to your local library register for free.
I do see something constructive to flipping a coin in a ballot booth. It says at least that the voter cares.
Cares about what? About not looking civic minded? In my opinion, I don't think the democratic process should include coin flipping.
Further, I'll disagree with you that it says "at least the voter cares". What it says is that Apathetic Joe can be shamed in to voting. It says nothing about him knowing anything about what or who is on the ballot. You might shame someone in to voting, but can you shame them in to spending the time/effort it takes to learn who's running for Judge? About the new spending bill to fund a new fire department? Who's running for assembly?
I say if they are too apathetic to register (a damn easy process), let them not vote if that is their wish. Some people really don't care enough to be bothered. Let the VERY simple registration and absentee ballot process be a "filter" to get the apathetic out of the process. I've no problem with this. If they suddenly become civic minded, YAY! Here's your registration form!
Lastly, I agree it's a shame that so few vote -- and when I hear someone complain about some issue or another, I ask "Well, how did you vote on it?". When I get my expected answer ("I didn't vote"), I say, something along the lines of "Either live with it or start a petition and ask me to sign it -- otherwise, STFU. I dont want to hear about your spilt milk".
There certainly is a flaw in my argument -- *IF* my argument was what you suggest. It wasn't.
My statement was that 'It would be much more constructive' to try to INFORM voters -- rather than try to register people too apathetic to register without pressure.
Reading your comment seems to suggest that mearly VOTING somehow magically produces an informed voter. Perhaps I'm reading you wrong? Or maybe I'm reading you correctly and I'll just flat out disagree. I cant see anything constructive to the equivalent of flipping a coin in the ballot booth.
I think it would be much more constructive...

to spend time and effort trying to increase awareness of local/state/federal issues -- an INFORMED voter is much more important than getting someone who is too apathetic to even register to vote to get up off his/her arse and actually VOTE. An uninformed vote is as bad (arguably worse) than just flipping a coin.
"Disempowered" indeed. It takes virtually no time to register and virtually no time to apply for and fill out an absentee ballot. Voting is easy and cost free (other than the effort it takes to take pen to paper).
Hey! I liked Jersey Girl! Sure it was sappy, but hey -- I'm about the same age as Smith. I was able to relate to what he thought was important/funny way-back when, and I was able to relate to what he thought was important/funny some 10 years later with Jesery Girl.
The idea of a Clerks sequal is both cool and scary at the same time.
Even 2600 doesn't believe this was some type of conspiracy. Your claim suggests you know nothing of how bots and spiders work and of the robots.txt standards. All voluntary.
From the 2600 article:
Certainly anyone who maintains a large website has made some sort of technical mistake at least once, and the promptness with which the error was fixed after it was pointed out suggests that the White House had no interest in keeping it in place.
Yup. That's why you posted anonymous. I just hope the fool who modded you up gets taken down in metamod.
To expand YOUR argument would suggest that a public school/library should be compelled to carry every book ever published and accept every book donated. That doesn't sound reasonable to me.
Again, I disagree this is a first ammendment issue. The books are still easily available and enjoy the right to be published at will. The only thing different is that a given community has decided on what books it's going to expend resources (money, space, etc).
BTW, your analogy is flawed -- it would be a more accurate analogy to suggest a Zoroastrian community decided to 'ban' christian books in public schools/libraries. Again, I don't have a problem with this.
A donated book costs money. It costs the time to (A) accept the book (B) catalog it (C) store it
Let each community decide on what to spend it's public resources. If that's based on each communities 'standards', I don't have a problem with it so long as such 'banned books' are still easily available elsewhere and there's nothing preventing their publication.

Doubt it would... but I dont think that's the point.
So? Isn't that the point? Let the parents decide of it's appropriate material for their children?
Of course, if parents would take a more active role in the lives of their children, such legislation would be redundant and unnecessary.
