So you are also suggesting that if you've been cheating on your federal income tax for the last few years, his statement means the IRS can't come after you?
It's agnostic as to the document type (PDF/HTML/Word) whatever and can use plugins (beagle, etc) to do full-text search. Generally we find that proper meta-data to describe the document (title, abstract, topics, keywords) is much more useful than a full text search. But yeah, it won't do what you mention.

Or my Palm Pilot Pro before that. I can't remember the program anymore, but there was a proxy browser where a server simplified the content for the Palm and sent you a very reduced page with tiny monochrome graphics.
So, really, slashdot should just be a series of links that say "Cool Article" linked to an article I may or may not want to read.:-) Then I'd have to read the article to see if I was interested in reading it. Sounds like a plan to me.
That's the field INSIDE the MRI, not the field in the room let alone in the hospital at large. The magnet is at most a dipole meaning it drops off at 1/r^3. And that's assuming no shielding.
I've been in a 7T research MRI. You can notice an effect when they slide you in (the field is never off), but you don't notice anything being in the machine.
It has nothing to do with ISPs. The Tier1 sites are the largest sites around the world with thousands of CPUs and petabytes of storage to hand the influx of data. Typically there is no more than one Tier 1/country/experiement. Tier 2's in this nomenclature are generally university sites that have O(100) CPUs and O(100) TB of disk.
Probably Tampa I was thinking of. I know I stopped of somewhere on Southwest coming from FLL. Come to think of it, I stopped in Jacksonville a couple of times but never got off the plane.
Aside from airports* and some hotels, wireless is free everywhere that has it. (And what are you going to do, use another airport?)
Seemingly everywhere now has free wireless: coffee shops, my car dealership, bars, etc. Why on earth would I go to Starbucks and pay $2 for a coffee (not a double soy quad shot latte, a COFFEE) and then pay an extra $10 for a wireless connection?
That deal was doomed from the start and in today's climate is just silly. The new one is quite realistic.
* Fort Lauderdale and Jacksonville, I believe, have free wireless at the airport. Nice of them!
You must have missed the point where I said that I am not a merchant. I sell stuff I no longer need.
For #3, no I am passing along my costs of selling the item to the buyer. For #4, you have a point, but I wouldn't call it a scam as I disclose the costs up front. Nor are they outrageous. And if you look at what I net from one of my occasional sales, it is NEVER more than the sale price.
Lots of reasons. I always bump the shipping up somewhat and here's why:
1) It's hard to get a good estimate of shipping costs. Dropping of my packages at FedEx/Kinkos is *always* more than what I found at FedEx's site 2) Unexpected weight and cost: The last thing I want is to be caught holding the bag for shipping charges in excess of what I thought they would be 3) Fees: There are a lot and the Paypal charges are really there as a convenience to the buyer, so I try to recoup some of them in the "handling" charge 4) Psychology: People tend to discount the shipping charge, so it's a way I can get a few extra $$$ for my item.
I only sell my own stuff on E-bay, it's not a business but a yard sale for me, and since I never really know how much it's going to cost me to move something, I want to make sure I don't get stuck. Been there, done that. No fun.
I buy some stuff too, usually from big operations, so I welcome this change.
One of the consistent objections to the Bush candidacy was that, but for the last name, he'd be a failed oilman and a mediocre ball team owner. But for that last name he'd be the manager of the Radio Shack in Midland Texas.
Which is exactly why Borders and Barnes and Noble with their enourmous floor space are closing stores left and right in the U.S. and going out of business. They are getting too much competition from Safeway, Target, Walmart, and Starbucks.
Oh, wait, that's not what's happening at all.
Small bookstores like the place I used to go as a kid (2000 sq.ft. or 200 m^2 with very slim selection) are going out of business, but GOOD bookstores are not.
He claims it's too slow "even in the out-of-box state when a PC is expected to be at its fastest." Which just shows an incredible Windows bias. Someone should hit him several times with a clue stick screaming "Real operating systems don't slow down just because you use them or install software!"
That said, I have basically this machine (built from scratch). I use it for a file server. I might consider something like this as a terminal in my kitchen, but I'd never suggest anyone use one as their main machine unless they really can't afford something more.
Dunno about that. The Windows XP side of my machine is on it's third motherboard, I think. First was an original Athlon, next was an Athlon XP, and last weekend I upped it to a Core 2 Duo. This time I got hit with having to reactivate. It was the first time. Basically, XP goes into safe mode and you have to install all the drivers off the CD that comes with the motherboard. I had to reboot 4 or 5 times, make a phone call, and plug my mouse into the MB instead of a hub (why?), but it did work and it was less hassle than reinstalling and restoring data.
Linux was easier, of course. A switch of kernels in Ubuntu was all I had to do there.
I did it this week under Linux and didn't. Well, actually I fired up my package updater and switched kernel flavors because I was going from an Athlon to a Core 2 Duo. I'm pretty sure I didn't edit a single config file in doing this switch.
And about every other science project cancelled under this administration. Iraq costs us about $1 billion/day.
I've been to Arecibo. It was cool to look at, but at that point about the only thing they had for the public was a couple of posters. I hear that since then they've made a small visitor center. I think it is about an hour off of any main road through twisting, turning roads.
While a board like that still has its uses, the board in TFA is a Via C7 running at almost twice the speed of this one and has two SATA ports. Power envelope is likely similar as the C3 is a pretty old processor now.
Well, for one, the nice thing about these Via CPUs is that they don't use much power. You can easily put together a whole computer that uses 50W. I wouldn't use it as a desktop, but I use something similar as a home server.
BTW, the Walmart price does not include a monitor.

Thought so.
Right, MySQL, Perl, Apache. Runs on RedHat, Ubuntu, Mac OS X. Anything Unix like.

I wrote and maintain a project to do this:

A little context might help. This isn't the Inquirer for god's sake.
And not even as well...
Hence the argument concerning neutron stars which would stop such a particle.

In other words, the "perception" of public wireless is already that it's free.
Aside from airports* and some hotels, wireless is free everywhere that has it. (And what are you going to do, use another airport?)

Flex-ATX actually, I think. They say micro, but the size quoted is smaller than micro.
