As a desktop admin, you bet your ass that I would turn this on in a second. There is no business reason that I would want someone hooking up an iPod (and potentially downloading HIPAA sensitive info) to listen to music at work (potentially (!) bringing productivity down), and downloading music at work (why else would you hook the iPod to the PC, wasting bandwidth and definitely torpedoing productivity)
It annoys me enough that someone can install and launch spyware at the User permission level, but this is just unconscionable.
Richard Marquand and Irvin Kirshner. They directed VI and V, respectively. I honestly think that Lucas is trying to make the entire trilogy patently his and by doing so is forced to "rewrite" history. Granted, yes, the first was directed by him, but I firmly believe that the first installment was the roughest out of the 3.
Honestly, what the fuck would a underprivledged school need with a UltraSparc 10000? I can see your point if they were getting rid of a whole bunch of desktops, but what do they need a Sun Data Array for, a space heater?
And before you go off in a tangent about how they can learn on the hardware, you need to master the desktop, THEN you go to the big iron. That's the natural progression, not the other way around.

I get calls all the time from newspapers asking for delivery. I can't rationalize the 5 bucks a week/20 a month to have a bunch of papers, half of it filled with ads/classifieds for stuff I don't want when all that stuff, classfieds and all, are posted online anyway. Granted, some of the newspaper websites (columbusdispatch.com, for example) require some sort of paid account to view, but between CNN and Fark.com, there isn't much that I usually miss. Occasionally I watch the national news, but I don't waste my time with the local crap.
Assume for a second that I was completely clueless as to the verbage and the scope of the GPL. Also assume for a second that I am a sysadmin of Linux servers (I know, I know, this is a hypothetical) and I am served with notice from SCO. I pay the US$699 x however many servers I have.
Now, when this case finally gets to trial, and SCO loses (God willing), could the company turn around and sue for extortion/other illegality, since it has been proven in court that SCO has no legal basis to enforce/collect licensing fees?
Rockets, my man, rockets. Shoot Hubble II into orbit with a rocket, and if a EVA is necessary to "assemble" it, then put the space plane on station and get it done. No hauling needed.
Granted, though, I'm not entirely certain that this 2 step process would be entirely cost effective. It's cheaper to shoot a rocket than it is to fire up the current Shuttle system, and I would imagine the proposed Space Plane system would have a significantly lower cost-per-flight, given the much reduced weight, but will both of those factors mitigate the cost of the single Shuttle flight? Only time will tell.
That's it right there. Kazaa Lite (would never dream of using standard spyware-Kazaa) has a set aside "My Shard Folder" where my newly downloaded whatever goes in, I make sure it's complete, rename it to something that's readable, and put in in a non-shared folder. All my CD rips go into said non-shared folder.
Does that show intent? Possibly. Does that keep me out of trouble? Most likely. Now that I've been moving more and more to BT, I find this to be less and less necessary, but the point still stands.
The one thing that i really loathe about these spiffy PDA phones with integrated keyboard is that you have all these buttons WHICH ARE TOTALLY EXPOSED. This means, as big as the unit is already, it's going to get about 1.5 times BIGGER with a leather holster case (I don't do those stupid looking soft leather / see through plastic cases that you clip on to your belt)
Sharp had an excellent idea with their keyboard cover, even something as simple as Sony's on the SJ-33, hard plastic cover, I can hold the entire PDA in my pants without a case, and not worry about the screen.
trapped in a town too far from big cities where big things happen, trapped in a hand-to-mouth existence, trapped in a mean little culture of cheap thrills and fast-food television.
wow, so they pretty much summed up Comic Book Guy, now who is this guy again?
I somewhat disagree. In my CS class, nothing beat beign able to do on-the-fly compiles of small programs in GCC right there in class, then ask your prof what code you screwed up on.
In my History/PoliSci, NOTHING beat the MONSTROSITY of notes I banged into my keyboard in class, TO have to sift through all that in paper would simply be MADDENING.
In Math, get yourself a nice big notebook and some cheap mechanical pencils. having to put in all those symbols and what not just sucks.
Peronally, I could NEVER take notes on a Palm with Graffiti. They are somewhat useful for apointments, numbers and the like, but don't expect notes.
No, with our luck the Scientologists will get their little grubby hands on it. Just what the world needs, a fake religious navy with a aircraft carrier.
I'm sorry, but I'm not really enthused by the idea of having to download "service packs" for my cell phone to protect against some little script kiddie trying to mooch off of my free minutes, or whatever it is that he's trying to get at.
Jesus, it's a frickin PHONE, I can see PDA's, I can see embedded OS's, but trying to cram as much as they are into a phone the size that it is then springing the Microsoftian "security through service packs" is one straw too many.
I'll stuck with having slightly bulging pockets, thanks.
Simple. Bruce Campbell. He loves working with Raimi (and Raimi loves working with him), and he's been doing B movies for so long that a couple million would be a godsend to him.
Plus, I would pay GOOD money to see him as the voice for Spidey. That would just be cool.
It might not be too long before a standard ink cartridge format develops, and the days of $40 prices disapear faster than big-mouth-billy-bass ads did.
Yeah, it'll be a LONG time before that happens. I saw people everyday at my old job bitching and moaning because of the ink prices, and our store had them intentionally inflated MORE to generate extra revenue, but they still bought the shit. I still had to restock that shelf every night for all the ink that was sold. Their business model, as illogical as it appears at face value, actually works. Want more proof? Buy (or price out) razors. You don't see a "standard 3 blade" or "standard women's 2 blade" razor.
Otherwise, you are DEAD ON with laser printers. If I had some extra cash (anyone want to hire a IT consultant in Columbus?:)) I would pick up a cheapy laser. AFAIK, the Samsung's aren't that bad, but HP's are perenially good.
Why stop a good thing (for the manufacturers) with something as anti-competitive as "standards?"
We had something similar with our friends (not Greek related). We all got together for a rousing game of caps (like quarters, for all you uneducated people out there). House rules stood as whomever got shut out had to run approx. 500 feet outside and back naked. Our friends (one of whom I'm sure will post here and corroberate) has a sign signed with all the names of those who ran, my name is on there:)

what are you using for corporate mail, Lotus? I hav had nothing but frustrations with Domino/Lotus Notes.
;)
Not to say it's not woking out for you, just venting pent-up frustrations
you owe me a new keyboard, hot damn was that funny :)
if I had MOD points, you would get all of them!
Sales of Pringles chips go through the roof for a straight week in Africa... /nothin
Rue the day?? Who talks like that? /loves me some Real Genius :)
Anyway, as has been beaten to death before, this is simply a temporary restraining order. This too shall pass.

It had better have a grapple, and a rocket launcher. (of course, said rocket launcher would only hurt humans, and not damage buildings in any way)
