The spammer always promises " My Email list is entirely opt-in it's the others guys that are illegal spammer. I'm a legit business." I once got a spam from the Illinois tourism board, and the Illinois Attorney General's office assured me that the commercial email sender was completely opt-in and legal. Sometimes its hard to prove an advertise knew or should have known a contractor was illegal.
A while back our county hired a company to do testing for merit bonuses, there was much gnashing of teeth when the people who's job descriptions said word-processing were tested with Framemaker. It turned out that the people who scored well with Framemaker, an application they had never seen before, were generaly scored as the most productive in Office by their supervisers. It's never a bad idea to learn principals in addition to click sequences.
I've seen time and time again where Linux users can use Windows far better than Windows users can. Linux users tend to understand the principals involved more; Windows users tend to memorise a series of mouse-clicks. When Office moves a button or changes a pull-down memu guess who is more likely to become helplesly stumped?
He said: am involved in helping to maintain the computer systems in the local school (200 ~ 250 pupils) in my home village you said:Licensing costs for 14 copies of XP Pro Academic Upgrade would run just under a grand. I think: people who use the phrase "Home Village" could be from a place where the village's annual domestic product might be short of a grand U$.
I know some people from Franklin Village, that has the highest per capital income of any village in the US and I have never heard them say the phrase "Home Village". Irregardles any school district has a responsibility to bring the greatest educational benefit to their students at the lowest cost to the taxpayers. It's hard to see how running a hodge-podge of Win9X and WinXP machines; is going to achieve an effecient cost to benefit ratio for anybody at either end of the per capita spectrum.
Linux is very useable in many educationals settings, the availability of educational support programs is probably far higher than you imagine. KDE has educational programs for languages, mathematics, science, geography and teaching tools; and that's just a stock install. Also my experience is Unix/Linux is a bit more difficult to administer to a stable state, but tends to remain stable far longer. I've never been able to get the Windows automated administration tools to run reliably; so a stable unix/linux system is much easier and cheaper to maintain.
The information went unused for the most part as researchers were unsure who to call or what to do The proper alerts were issued, whether governements chose to relay the alerts are a different matter. There is plenty of politics involved, not to mention the "jaws" factor, Don't issue warnings, it'll scare the tourrists" kind of a thing. I mean come on, the whole planet rang like a bell on that one, it was big enough to lift my house 4 inches and I live a half a world away.
It always amazed me also about how many professions that complain about workoverload would be helped by simply hiring a reseptionist/typist. I expect that an engineer needs to be able to generate $100-200 per hour just to break-even, why have them doing the tasks that should belong to an $18.00 per hour admin assistant?
I've looked into groupwre, after many people have said things like "we need outlook because it has email, calenders and todo lists" and the biggest problem I've seen is that they never seems to have a priority system invoved. If my boss wants to bump a task's priority up, that's his prerogative, the software should show him the implications of his actions and adjust the calenders and todo lists as appropriate.
I've learned which of my tasks can be done concurently with which and how many, and which have to be done sequentialy for maximum effciency, why can my software?
My wife used to complain that I concentrated so hard it gave her headaches, once my former boss walked in and was talking to me while I was working on sometime critical and technicaly demanding and I didn't even hear him for about 30 seconds. This guy absolutely could not stand to hear an unanswered telephone ringing. I've told my wife many times if she didn't look at me, say my name and get a rational response, I'm probably not hearing her.
Actualy they were permanent magents arranged radialy from the pipe with the same pole facing in like an *. Connected together in a metal frame, seems like it could be a finger buster to install or fabricate. Anything moving through the pipe that is conductive would generate electrical eddy currents which would produce the effect if any at the cost of increasing pumping resistance slightly.
The effect if there is one may cause the algea to percipitate, but it might participate live algea. Ultrasonic and ultraviolet irradiation will kill the algea, but settling of the dead algea cells can take a while. I'm thinking about experimenting with the technics one control with no treatment, one with magentic only, and one with ultrasonic/magnet; this summer just to see what happens.
Wrong, wrong, wrong, you are not required to provide source code to any third party. The only people who have a right to the source code are the people to whom I've provided binaries, if I let third parties have access to the source code it's simpley a courtesy not an obligation. I'm sure that distributed GPL'd code doesn't indenture me in pertetuity, to provide source code to every Tom, Dick and Harry that might come along.
I can easily satisfy the source code relese requirement by bundleing it with the binarys; I'm not sure what happens if I give you the source and you proceed to lose them; you're probably shit outa luck if I want to be an asshole. If you distribute GPL'd code you got from me, you're responsible for the source to your distributees, not me.
It's customary for non-distributing developers to contribute any patches and modifications upstream to the developers from whom you've recieved any GPL'd code from as a courtesy to the developers and the greater community, but it's not a requirement. The system works because we tend to play nice with each other out of respect, rather than bludgeon each other with legal technicalities. If you need to bludgeon somebody legally, or are anticipateily being bludgeoned legally, hire a real lawyer.
software which... reads and writes Microsoft's proprietary filesystem dude its microsoft's software that's writing to Microsoft's proprietary filesystem; people who use that Linux- NTFS driver, are people who use NTFS thusly have a license to use the Microsoft software. Is this something that is too difficult for Apple, noway; it's mostly likely something they can't do because of a contractual agreement with microsoft. You lay down with dogs, you get up with fleas. they would have picked it because they believe this knowlege belongs to mankind, it's the knowlege of how to execute a Microsoft binary inside a Linux kernal that he is talking about that the developers wanted mankind to know.
You don't want anybody to play your game unless they play by your rules. That's the way life works, nobody is begging Apple to use GPL'd code. GPL'd code costs, it has obligations in the license; apple is not a special case. If apple don't want to play the GPL game then fine, the GPL isn't the only game in town; they can take thier ball and find an other court to play on.

just use the cell phone on the side of your head that has the metal plate, rather than the side that doesn't, and have all of the metal tooth fillings changed to composites, and your problem will be solved!
Thats interesting, I once was reading about those magnetic "water conditioners" inhibiting algea growth. There were several website selling them for algea control to garden ponders, then mysteriaously none. I suspect the EPA got on them about selling an unproven pestiside, they may work even if unproven or they might be snake-oil. It does seem reasonable that moving coloidal suspentions through a magnetic fied could cause the ionic layer or the diffusion layer to collapse and the particles to precipitate, but I'm not sure if it actualy does or not.
In my area DSL just became available, 4 years after Comcast upgraded our area to fiber and made cable broadband available. Before that I was luckey to connect at 33.6K.
AOL all ready has bulk deals with the telco's because they provide dial-up service with local numbers. I wouldn't be surprised that with the federal state and local taxes involved with a pots circuit, that provideing a thousand DSL connections might be cheaper than providing a 100 POTS connections!
Life is a bitch, but it's better than the alternative, the college teaches "Digital photo editing with Photoshop, CA101" because employers want Photoshop skills. I'll agree with you that it sucks, hell I can do more with Gimp, than any wet-behind-the-ears college kid can do with PS, but it's PS that the employers want so save you bitching untill it's crying in the beer time, suck it up and get your ticket punched.
I know a guy that has to use a quad/dual core opterons/15K rpm SATA RAID 5 and 8 GB of ram to do his homework in computer animation, it's running Linux too! In other cirricula, a web browser and word processor and you good-to-go.
You do realise that an air conditioner is a boiler, a condenser and a pump. Normaly the boiler is called an evaporator, inside the freon boils at low pressure and adsorbs the heat from the air, the pump pushes the freon gas into the condenser where the preasure is allowed to increase, which increases the temperature of the freon ( but not the heat) and it returns to liquid as it cools and loses heat. You can easily do the same thing with water, I have boiled water with my body heat before. The article says the water is vaporised, not boiled at ambient air preasure, that might account for the $100K price tag on the prototype.
Nothing, but these things tend to level out, considering that the villagers got along perfectly fine without electricity for millenia, what's to keep the rest of the villagers from telling the asshole to stuff it and try to pay back the loan without any sales. Peer preasure can be very powerfully; and don't forget that micro-loans are very successful in Africa and Asia. The big secret is to make the loans to the woman, and have the women running the machine. Tell the women of a village, default on the loans and we'll repo the machine and you can watch your babies die, it'll make an impression.
The Slingshot works by taking in contaminated water - even raw sewage -- and separating out the clean water by vaporizing it. It then shoots the remaining sludge back out a plastic tube. Kamen thinks it could be paired with the power machine and run off the other machine's waste heat.
If this thing is energy effiencent, my mind boggles at the possiblities. One of the hardest things about algea producted biodiesel is sepperating the aglea from the water. Concentrating the waste is one of the first steps in any enviromental remediation.

That helps us, but it doesn't help google which still has to pay for the bandwidth and storeage, and we stillhave to delete it crap
