As with many things, you get out of it what you put in. All of these opportunities are still there, but if you don't choose to pursue them they won't pursue you.
College is a fantastic opportunity for learning, but it's not as strictly required anymore.
Actually, your article clearly states that the Intel processor uses less power than the Athlon toward the end. The point of that article to compare two *desktop* solutions, meaning complete motherboards.
In this case, the total AMD system uses less power than the total Intel system, which is noteworthy, but doesn't necessarily have any bearing at all on this particular laptop, or on the Atom processor itself.
The first of your three is the only one that makes any sense, but it's not like our corporations are any less opportunistic.
Who cares whether they'll allow our words in their language? They're proud of their language, and they have strong ideas of what is and isn't a French word. So? Are we only friends with people who use English words?
We're going to base our opinion of an entire country on the actions of some teenage hooligans?
Wow. This is not my experience at all. Sounds like you need to find a new job.
I mean, sure -- I don't get personal recognition for everything I do. But I've never stayed at a job where doing exceptional work consistently went unnoticed.
It's not the ISPs that are lobbying to do this. It's the big communications companies that actually own the hardware that the Internet rides on in the US. If this legislation goes through, it will be applied to ALL traffic, and it won't matter what ISP you choose. That's why these companies have to lobby for permission to do start slowing down non-payers' traffic. They're monopolies, and there are laws in place keeping them from doing this stuff.
If the market doesn't like "multi-tiered" traffic, well, it'll just be too bad.
Well, that service didn't even get my state right, let alone city, street, and address. And ISPs had better not making my exact address publicly available based on my IP.
There is the theory of the Moebieus: a twist in the fabric of space, where time becomes a loop. Where time becomes a loop. Where time becomes a loop. Where time becomes a loop. Where time becomes a loop... -- Worf
I'm a coder (/programmer/developer) in Montana, and when I tell people from Seattle or California what I make, they think I'm joking. They can't imagine living on so little.
And guess what: we outsource some of our code to Vietnam.
While the cost of living is lower, many things cost the same. This means that computers effectively cost twice as much for me as those in the big city.
Wireless internet is certainly an incentive for me to patronize a coffee shop. But I also want coffee. If I wanted to freeload, I'd just to go the public library, which also has free wireless.
The longer I'm at these coffee shops, the more I buy.
Now if only someone would make a firefox search plugin that would support this. How cool would that be? The answer: very cool.
I doubt that the Mycroft search plugin format would be capable of implementing this, though there might be some sort of javascript hack possibility. It would probably require a full-scale plugin.
Anybody with plugin-foo think they could pull this off?
If you use the smtp server (with authentication) provided by whoever owns the domain name on your 10-year-old email address, and they set up SPF, you'll be fine.
SPF doesn't have anything to do with what IP address you connect to the smtp server from. It just validates the smtp server.
It just means you can't use your own local mail server to send from a domain you don't own.
I love my Neuros dearly. It's a part of the family now. It sits at the dinner table and has its own bedroom.
But it's a bit slow. At around 2 gigs per hour, it takes 10 hours to fill all 20 gigs. Those of you itching to buy one might do better to wait a couple months for the release of the USB2 HD backpack. Those of us who bought early will be recieving a free (or nearly free) upgrade to USB2, but I don't think that applies if you buy one right now. It might, though. You should ask. Those guys are great.

Working with ADHD?
·
· Score: 5, Informative
When I was first diagnosed with ADD (ADHD minus the hyperactive aspect) and put on Adderall, I was amazed to discover that it really was possible to follow the thread of an entire meeting and sit down for hours doing work that didn't absolutely fascinate me.
Adderall is a mix of four amphetamines used to combat Attention Deficit Disorder and Narcolepsy. It was originally prescribed to the obese as a hunger suppressant under a different name. I originally started on 3 doses per day of Adderall. That was problematic, however, because I would become more forgetful as it wore off, meaning that I needed to remember to take my next dose when I was at my most forgetful. I now take the extended-release version called Adderall XR. I only take it once a day, and it's helped enormously.
I've only been medicated for a couple of years now, so I've noticed a stark difference in my ability to function normally. Life before I was diagnosed was filled with frustration. I sometimes found it incredibly difficult to concentrate even on things that I enjoyed doing, or that I really wanted to do. My homework grades were terrible but my test scores tended to be quite good. Now, with a combination of medication and an intentional reduction of potential distractions, I can work steadily all day if I need to.
There are drawbacks, however. It completely obliterates my appetite. I find that if I don't make an effort to eat 3 square meals a day, I will forget to eat at all. Not being one who needs to lose weight, it caused some problems in the beginning. I won't feel hungry, but I'll get very cranky, headachy, and will find it difficult to focus when I don't eat. I also find that I can be a little cranky in the late afternoon when I'm coming off the medication. ADD medications like Ritalin and Adderall are highly addictive, which really sucks. After taking Adderall for a couple of years now, I find that I have the attention span of a gnat on cocaine if I forget to take it.
Do I object to having ADD? Sometimes. But when channeled correctly, it's a really amazing source of creative material. It can also be quite entertaining to my friends. I'm just really glad I'm just really glad I have some control of it now.
Attention Deficit Disorder is hard for many people to understand. I've had people tell me to my face that ADD is a sham and that I'm just lazy. Fortunately, it's not a topic that comes up often.
Unfortunately, I don't know much about these alternative treatments, but I'm certainly interested in learning more.
I had a cell phone for a while. It slowly sucked away at my sanity until I was faced with a choice between getting rid of the cellphone and going on a coast-to-coast Wal-Mart bombing spree.
In my state, it wasn't particularly clear which choice was the best one. Next time, I hope I'll make the better decision.
There's a really simple method of keeping important devices/servers/etc from being hacked. Isolate them from the Net. Countless software companies have been kicked in the corporate junk because they hooked their source safe/backup system/whatever to the Internet. I know it's hard. People like to be connected and have everything on one big network... But show some control. Pacemakers on the Internet is rediculous. Stop lights might be nice to remotely administrate, but is it worth getting them haxored?
How are we going to feel when that question becomes a reality: Would you, for a million bucks, press a button that kills some person you've never met? You too could be a contestant on The Million Dollar Button! (With your host... )

Since when does having a mobile phone, a portable audio device, a remote control panel, a microphone and headphones make you connected to the web at all?
I agree. I don't know if it would take a chaplain or a mental institution to accomplish what you're talking about, but you've got a lot of good things to say.
Too many of the guidance counselors you talk about are not prepared to help anyone deal with real life problems. I know. My mother is one.
Too many of these counselors are only capable of doing a horrible job of helping you find a college and figure out what you want to do with the rest of your life. They also seem to have no ability to see a person in anguish and distinguish them from your average student. Or maybe they can and don't care.
Why are the quiet ones always ignored if, as they say, "It's the quiet ones you have to look out for." If only someone WERE looking out for them. Us.
The two very certianly complement each other very well. Many people wouldn't be a part of the movement if it weren't for Linux. I don't know that I would be. I'd like to think I would, but it was definately Linux that introduced me to the concept of Open Source.
Open Source is itself powerful enough now to stand on its own. That is for certain. But would it be where it is today without Linux? Perhaps not.
I'm very greatful for the both of them, and will continue my support as long as I can type.

Katamari Damacy was a strong addiction for a long time. As was Rez.
Many companies that appear to be competing are actually owned by a single, larger corporation.
For example, Pizza Hut, Taco Bell, Long John Silver's, KFC, and A&W are all owned by one company.
There are only a handful of candy bar companies. Very few are not owned by Nestle, M&M Mars, or General Mills.
We don't see a whole lot of new, independent chocolate bars in this country.
Others have already covered the fact that these industries are a whole lot easer to break into than communications inferastructure.

Another device that'll record to PSP video is the Neuros Recorder2.
It doesn't have the wide array of Tivolike features, but if you just want to convert analog video to digital for your PSP, this should work well.
Can you imagine trying to play some first-person shooter while the operating system is poking ads at you? How awful.
Actually, the rootkit is separate from the DRM. The AV companies should have been able to kill the rootkit without killing the DRM.
