we need an open source doll, someone in asia, should just release an open source doll as a frame and electronics and let the rest of us add, dress and modify.
The employer exercises their rights to pay you for the two weeks and ask you to leave. When made redundant, I was given an hour, and escorted around. I have heard of 15 minutes, with the person not able to return to his office. At my current workplace they expect 4 weeks notice, but I know that in unusual cases the employee has departed after handing in his resignation.
I have lived in houses with electric storage and instant, and gas storage and instant water heaters, in metro and rural areas. Gas is better because of cost, but there are some current electric systems which given the right circumstances are very efficient. When overall purchase and running costs are factored in, I doubt, based on my experience, that using microwaves would be cheaper/better then resistive electric heaters.
We get 5-10 calls a week from the people who will be exempt, so I'll still get the same calls. This is from the same Govt that promised there would NEVER be a GST. From a Prime Minister who said that he would retire 2 years ago. We are get very good at just hanging up the phone.
I would have focused on the sails or the people on the decks, they are easier to set on fire or would cause havoc on the decks. Focusing on the hull is a mistake, you don't start a fire with a big log, you start with the kindling.
Single Play DVD, Now IPTV? I can't see a breakthough here as people have been streaming video for years and I doubt that anything does will be 'almost' seamless. Good luck to them, if they can get the major content providers to play the game too.
contract positions also give the company the option the terminate your services more easily. You may or may not be paid for sick leave, public holidays, etc. You have to sit down and cost out the conditions that you have as a permanent staff member vs contract, sometimes it works and sometimes it does not. be suspicious of any company offer to move to contract, they must be getting more out of it or they would not make the offer.
buy a high quality digital multimeter, I recommend fluke, I have used them for 30 years and love 'em. a basic CRO is handy, but a CRO fast enough to work with modern computers is a waste of money. a Frequency counter is a better option. Serial port and ethernet tester. Good quality soldering tool, I like JBC, but we, the the service dept, also use basic Weller with the right tips, cheap and long lasting.
You can try buy cheap, but you need stuff that is good and accurate. We buy a lot of major top brand second-hand via eBay.
well I'm still getting mail via the mail server, and I've had it checked by a couple of people who all see the web page. Sorry if you can't reach it. Contact YOUR ISP.:)
who pays for 20kms of fibre?? who pays for the survey work? The problem for Rural Oz is not getting Broadband, it's getting Broadband at city prices. There are many solution for providing hi-speed data, few of them are cheap enought to supply a few customers 20-30kms from the nearest town.
Yep, from the earliest times the telecommuncations side of the PMG, then Telecom, then Telstra ran at a profit and financed the expansion of the network, and consistantly returned money to the Government. Taxpayer funded telecommunications in Oz is a Myth. In fact almost every rural service is run at a loss, the cost of providing the service and the links to the rest of the network is rarely recovered from the phone charges. A ballpark figure for just the cost of wire from the switch to the rural phone is ~AU$4000 per customer, not counting the cost of the switch, power, transmission equipment etc, the worst I know of was $40,000 per phone, (on a 128 cusomer system) the customers only payed the maximum $1500 each.
All thing considered, eg lightning, human stupidity etc, the same housing has been used by the company for over 10 years and provided it is installed correctly, it works as claimed. They do fail when shot at, eaten but rabbits, burt in bushfires, etc.(sh*t happens)
The 'Network' used to belong to the people of Australia, maintained by Telstra, now the people of Australia has had their network sold for them and we see nothing. Bah! You either have open playing field or nothing, by inposing conditions on Telstra that are not the same for competitors means that Telstra is stuffed, the government has sided with big business and not with people.
not one cent of taxpayers money has been used by Telstra, In a couple of cases there have been BILLIONS of dollars handed to the Government, get the FACTS!
I've seen a couple of electronic Juke Boxes that possibly predate either patent, from a quick read of the patent I would have thought that it describes an average Juke Box very well.
we have almost completely stuffed up the Earth, why stuff up another planet?? We can survive here with just a little commonsense and care, why try to change a whole plant just for us?
The loop hole in telecommunications regulation. A non-telephony mobile phone network. I'm sooo impressed, and worried that these things will have the FCC or whatever regulator applies to your country, making up new laws governing VoIP, simply because it is just so simple to use, vs computer and software. The key is the Wi-Fi.
Infineon is the company name, not the chip name. If Infineon deals with Apple the way they deal with my company, Apple will switch to someone else in after a short time. Did 3 Infineon execs get locked up in Germany?
it was reported very early that using Intel did not mean cheap PCs from Apple. Their business model says they must control both hardware and software, so DRM chip(s) are expected. IMHO the main stated reason, stated by Steve, is tied to power consumptions, not cost.

It's not an about face, years ago Linux sucked for Joe Average. Only now has it become a mature product.

In the book Spy Catcher, they propose the same method for spying. Too easy to detect!

c/mon people, stop trawling old news!, make up something new and exciting!
