However, I would want our government to make sure that adequate evidence is first presented.
The thing is that we already have plenty of evidence of past acts of terrorism from Bin Ladden. Getting him know and then later finding out it wasn't him would not be a great loss. While we are at it, we should go ahead and use this time as an oportunity to cleanse the world of as many known terrorist as possible.
That's like claiming the game of golf is a sport! Golf doesn't involve enough athletics to be considered one,
Have you ever tried to consistently hit a golf ball to the same spot? The hand-eye coordination required is incredible.

If you do a default installation of Win2k Pro it does not install the World Wide Web Publishing Service.(at least in my experience) The win2k Server will install it by default.
Exactly, I have a leather Lay-Z-Boy at home. When people come over everyone fights for to sit in it. Also, yes I can get work done it. Give me my laptop and then I can work sleep work without ever having to move;-)
NVIDIA's drivers have been giving me random opengl lockup problems on two different dual proc boxes. After some usenet searching it seems to be a problem with their drivers and dual proc machines.
We could all fix this in no time, but most regular users will just see a message saying "Would you like to download potentially dangerous software to view this site's potentially dangerous content? Yes/No?" and click the No option.
Given the virus outbreaks that we have seen I think that most users usually click yes;-)
I develop servlet and applet solutions to deliver results to some of the Oil Majors - to get software installed in these environments is a nightmare!
If your solution is required in their environment then their standard desktop image should already include the needed JVM.
Hmm... well from what I have seen they aren't very good at what they do. There is a gated community nearby protected by Wackenhut. I have been using the same expired pass for years to get in and see friend that live there.
I don't see how the sale of one product(namely SourceForge OnSite) is going to keep VA Linux afloat. This is not to rip on them, but I just don't see it happening. Slashdot probably should start making contigency plans when(notice not if) VA goes under. Hmm... at least I will be able to get a pretty decent tax write off on the few shares that I own.
Maybe the choice between a subquery and a join is one of those space/time tradeoffs they told us about in school.
You are correct here. I was looking at a teradata query the other day where the IN and the JOIN wouldn't work b/c the query would run out of spool space. The exists was the only way to get the data out (maybe not the fastest, but it used the least amount of temp space). Keep in mind that each table had a minimum of 10 million rows.
SELECT c.name
FROM customers c
WHERE EXISTS(SELECT *
FROM collections cl
WHERE c.id = cl.id AND cl.debt > 0)
This way you don't incur the overhead of joining the tables. The logic also seems clearer in the sense that I want to see all of the customers where a debt exists.
This has already started happening with the OnStar system that is coming with many new mid-higher end cars. A friend of mine with onstar hit the button just to see what would happen and someone greeted her over the radio speakers and told her where she was and other general car stats.
Actually, I am pretty sure that starting in win95 the app first goes to its local directory then to the windows/system directory when loading dlls. Any local version you needed just had to be in the same dir as the app and that would be the one it used. Otherwise it would go to the system directory.
What impact, if any, will this ruling have on the legality of scanning high school parking lots with drug dogs?
Probably none. It has been awhile since I was in high school, but IIRC you had to get a permit to park in the school parking lot. To get the permit you/your parents had to sign a waiver allowing school admins to search your car at will.
Windows people, especially someone who has the nerve to call themselves an expert Windows user, is probably an idiot.
I would argue that someone who can navigate through the huge minefield we call windows is actually quite intelligent. Windows is so non-intuitive and bass ackwards that you must be smart to be an "expert" windows person. And no -- expert in windows means more than being able to click a start button.
Wrong, an expert programmer is one who uses a variety of tools to efficiently complete a required job. No matter how much you despise VB you must admit that sometimes it is the best tool for the job.
It's true that the Microsoft products overtook their competitors, but hills of documentation were presented in the trial that this could not have happened if MS hadn't actively submarined its competitors' products by manipulating the OS underneath it, and the market. The reason WordPerfect stopped getting better is because MS made it so that WordPerfect Corp. and then Corel had to spend so much energy dealing with the undocumented additions to the OS that it became unprofitable to continue innovating the product.
I'm just curious. Why must MS allow other programs to run on its OS? In all seriousness, why can't MS just say if you are going to run Windows software as your OS then you must get all your software from us? Heck, Windows is their product. I don't think it would be a good business decision, but hey it is just a thought.
Personally, I beleive that there is no better excercise than Whitewater Kayaking for your core muscles.
True, you should give surfing a shot. Alot like swimming but for longer periods time and harder bursts. In addition, any type of sport where balance is required(kayacking, water/snow skiing, etc...) your abs will get worked. In turn your back will feel better.
Excercise is by far number 1. I go to the gym during lunch 3-4 times a week, and stay fairly active on the weekend. I have never had any back pain from sitting in front of the computer.
Most people out there are happy with dial-up and aren't interested in the prohibitative prices of broadband.
I don't think it is broadband pricing that is keeping people away, but availability. In my area you can get broadband for about the price of dialup and a second phone line.(around $40USD/month)

I have had problems in both.

here are pretty pictures and delivery speeds that might even make non-Californians want to relocate.
Wouldn't this be pretty useless without power...

Fact is, large corporations do often stand in the way of true progress. Take a good look at history.
You forgot the other big hurdle to progress -- religion.
