The way to wire for today and the future is to run your communications in conduit. Run a pull string with your wiring so you can easily add lines. Make sure you can run a fish tape through it. Or at least vacuum a foam mouse with pull string though it. This way you can run only the lines you need today, but can easily add or change as your system changes. Cat5 or optical? Who cares? Your prepared.
"The major flaw in the plan is it will only work if the phytoplankton die and sink to the bottom of the ocean, taking the CO2 with them, otherwise, the carbon will be reintroduced into the ecosystem. Interesting idea, but big design flaw."
Phytoplankton don"t store CO2, they convert it to carbohydrates and oxygen. Plankton and algae are reponsible for 90 percnt of the oxygen in the earth's atmosphere. Where is the design flaw?
Finally, Windows 98SE upgraded and patched users can rest easy. Since Microsoft won't support it anymore, it will no longer be the target of malicious hackers. Another plus is an opportunity for a company to offer third party support.
"Microsoft spokesman Simon Marks wouldn't comment on whether PowerPoint has debased society but said in an e-mail, "PowerPoint continues to evolve to make it easier for customers to present their information in the style that best suits the content and the audience."
So PowerPoint doesn't make you stupid. It just makes it easier to show how stupid you are. Used by a genius and the result is art. Used by the average Joe and the result inspires books like "PowerPoint Makes You Dumb". Both Byrne and Tufte are almost right. Their mistake was they focused on the tool not the user.
I've always been slow to upgrade. Usually I'm forced to upgrade when some new hardware requires the latest popular operating system. I still use Win98SE on a machine not connected to the net, when I have to use a program that will only run in Windows. It is only loaded with those programs, so there is less chance of conflicts. I"m also reluctant to upgrade because of Microsofts increased intrusion into the systems running their software. I have to admit that I just installed SuSE 9.0 by ftp. But again that was only to get my new soundcard working.
I'm sending a copy of the Wired article to President Bush and asking him him to pardon this guy as a demonstration of how we feel about spam. If that doesn't work maybe he could use the "Twinkie Defense".
I'm still using an accounting program that I wrote on a CPM machine in 1980. I updated it to an exe program when QuickBasic came out. I now run it in dosemu. It is written for a construction company and there is nothing out there like it. The oldest hardware I use every day is a Microtek PageWiz parallel port scanner. It's a fast little sheet fed scanner that is fairly portable.
From what I have been reading on the SuSE newsgroup, SuSE 9.0 will be able to write to WinXP partitions. It's coming out at the end of Oct. SuSE is an almost no brainer install, even by ftp.
Since 1979 Stephen Hawking has held the post of Lucasian Professor of Mathematics. The chair was founded in 1663. It was held by Isaac Newton in 1669. I don't know if you could classify Hawking as weird, but he is definitly not your average professor.
That's fine with me, as long as their printers are labeled "uses one time use ink cartridges only". Then I won't be fooled into buying a Lexmark. Of course most people will still only see the initial low purchase price and ignore the operating cost.
I have a removable hard drive that I use at work, connected to the internet with their IP account. I use it in my home computer, with a different IP account. I use my notebook with a PCMCIA WiFi card at home, a PCMCIA ethrernet card at work, and a PCMCIA modem at a friends. Am I in violation?
I bought a hp notebook that had some hardware that would only work with the supplied hardware. As soon as I discovered that I couldn't get drivers for an earlier OS version, I returned the crippled machine.

I had an IBM portable that weighed 32 pounds. It only had a 9 inch screen. They called it portable. I called it luggable.
I like it. I'll be pronounicing Lin---s as Lindows.
Are we sure the "Bipolar Paranoid Schitzophrenic" teacher didn't send in the inappropriate reviews?
Aren't librarians newly vested government agents sworn to send every byte to the NSA? Whoops!

AMES leased their "bazooka" drywall taping tool for years. This revolutionary tool used by nearly every drywaller was always owned by the maufacturer.
Shouldn't this really be OSX.III

Now I have to make sure my new computers don't have a Phoenix bios. Who wants a crippled computer?
