I worked the Polls in San Diego yesterday as a Precinct Inspector. The Diebold machine we had (for special-needs voters only) did not use this type of key. It needed a key more like a bicycle lock's key.
By jacking the audio out from my computer into an AUX audio in on my home theater. I play my music loud enough that the noisy pc fans aren't a problem. Video out is another story. My mini-ITX box combined with Windows XP provided horrible results.
I'd rather carry batteries than flammable fuel any day. Especially if it means I won't be to take any gadgets onto an airplane, train, courthouse, etc.
Nevermind the noise, the smell, and the heat. I just don't want the hassle.

Several years ago, I was lucky to land a good-paying job on dice.com. At the same time, I was receiving nothing but script-errors from monster.com. I deleted my monster profile. Six months later, I started receiving email updates about jobs that matched my search-agents from monster.com. They never deleted my profile.
To this day, I've never received a response from a resume submitted through monster.com. I've had better luck with jobsummit.com (only in SoCal area) getting interviews and responses. The best results have been from local newspaper web-listings (signonsandiego.com) and craiglist.com (I wish I'd discovered it much sooner). In fact I have an interview in a couple of hours with a company I found listed on craigslist.com.
Well, the original server-sitter left BAH before the break-ins occured. His position prior to building and maintaining webservers for a DoD contractor was dog-walker (no, seriously, he walked dogs for a living).
The people who took over his position didn't change the passwords. They have since been re-educated about security and best-practices. Nothing confidential was on the servers in question, but it looked bad for their web-team here in San Diego.
Not too long ago, they were in hot water with the US Navy for letting some websites get hacked by leaving the default admin passwords in place. No joke, my friends work there!
I read the article. I also understand that he created these things for surfing where there are no waves. But guess what? That's not surfing. The watercraft may be shaped like a surfboard in hopes of luring customers who will then believe they are "surfers." Many companies are trying to cash in on the big bucks surf business, nothing new there. But this is boating. It is not, as the inventor believes, the equivalent of snowboarding-in-the-ski-industry for the surf industry. It is more like an obnoxious, gas-powered skateboard for little fat kids who can't even propel themselves but think they'll be cool with a high-tech gadget doing their work for them.
Windsurfers, by the way, ARE in line with surfing. Perhaps that's a topic you don't comprehend, AC. Surfing involves riding nature's vibrations. The only place where humans can interact with and ride on vibrations. Vibrations, by the way, surround us constantly (everything we see, everything we hear, the sun's energy keeping our blue planet alive). Don't talk to me about comprehension. Go complain about moderation elsewhere. And post as yourself, sissy-boy.
We'll can keep an eye out for you when you come cruising along on your gas-powered wanna-be surfboard.
As a surfer, I'm appalled. This looks more annoying that gas powered scooters and jet-skis combined. If you can't paddle out, you don't belong on a surfboard (the guy who started Life Rolls On and tow-in big wave surfers aside).
Some people just don't get it. I'm sure the first person to bring one of these into our local lineups will be dealt with accordingly.
From a techie standpoint, I can only wonder why this was created.
The kids can come up with a cool application, code it, release it to the free market. Then MegaCorp can come along and put them out of business with marketing mega-dollars, FUD, and unfair trade practices.
Seriously, though, since when do companies get to decide curriculum in public schools? I thought that was the job of an overbearing government.
the "ecosystem" needed to support a high-tech company likely couldn't be found outside California. Kutt agrees, adding few Canadians in finance and management could wrap their head around the idea.
I saw no reference to the audit MS did in the Philly public schools a few years ago, which forced one of the poorest school districts in the country to shell out cash they really didn't have. What happened? MS wrote off the balance due and called it a donation.
...which version of the Anime would they re-create? I first saw Akira in college. Thank goodness for psychedelics! A few weeks ago on the Adventure channel (I think) I saw Akira was playing. I flipped to it, only to be shocked by different voices and music. In fact the more I watched, the more odd it seemed. I had no idea there were two english language versions released. Anyone else see a version of Akira they didn't recognize? It's a bit unsettling.
A meat-space rendition of this movie would definitely be hard to swallow.
Is this just too much work for our lazy American manufacturers to do?
It's too much work to do for lazy American conusmers who won't (or can't) read the manual anyway. Putting Hello Kitty in the instructions isn't going to reduce the number of tech support calls in this country.
...referred to in San Diego as the NMCI project. They've all been laid-off because the project is taking longer than expected. It will probably be a long while before EDS makes millions off of absurd support contracts. It's going to take them the next few years to get all of the widely-varying platforms consolidated. Then, if they don't get sued out of the contract, they can try to milk the support contracts. The old equipment? Probably will end up costing them money to dispose of it properly. To them, I say good luck...

Did a MS fan post a response to this or any discussion lately? I haven't read the sub-zero posts in a quite a while, so I wouldn't know. I bet you don't know either.

Come on. Go figure out which works best for you. Don't rely on these people.
I'd love to see the official document you submit that says "9 out of 10 Slashdot'ers use Distro X"!
When was the last time there were two or more shows on two or more different big networks in the same night that were interesting enough to record?

...that this paper was written by MS's opponents, as claimed by ACT president Jonathan Zuck on sourceforce.com.
It was co-authored by the (now-former) CTO of a security firm that does business with Microsoft. A business partner, one might say.
hmmm...

Just kidding. I Love Canada (from a distance)!
Definitely a candidate for "Websites that Suck"
The custom software at my old employers said "Press a key to continue..."
What you've described is exactly what most users did. I thought it was pretty funny. They were often shocked to see me hit the space bar.
"That won't work!" they'd say.
Sure.
Maybe you finally found that listing, but it was posted long ago.
