From the actual site where you sign up for the replacement memory:
Returning Affected Memory Modules You must return your affected memory module(s) in the prepaid return envelope that is provided with your replacement memory module(s).
Yeah and people have to send the RAM in first. Many people cannot afford to be without their laptops while they wait for HP to process their returned RAM. Depending on which model laptop, the laptop might still boot with the onboard RAM, but with Windows XP the laptop is useless until the new RAM arrives.
No, HP sends you the ram and a prepaid return envelope. You do not send your ram in first at all.
1. Unless you have a smoking hard drive you're not gonna see 16X speeds (ATA hard drive? you wish)
What is it about 20MB/s or so that you think is excessive? Hard drives that cost well under a hundred dollars for in excess of 100GB can easily feed that to a DVD drive on the other channel. We're talking $400 PCs.
It's there, a bulleted list, but just not the most objective criteria.
Especially dangerous about posting an academic guideline is that there's the built in assumption that part 1 of the above code is more or less satisfied.
IANAL, but current copyright guidelines seem to permit fair use of "Up to 10% of a body of sound recording, but no more than 30 seconds". All of which should make for an interesting legal debate. I can hear the gnashing of teeth already."
It's odd that you linked to guidelines of some non legal body as opposed to some actual legal document.
While I usually disagree w/ idiots blathering on about fair use, I think short clips at vastly degraded quality for personal use on your cell phone come pretty damn close to making the cut.
I think you're confusing "Computer Science" with "Programming".
Every program I've heard of has an ASM course to lead into computer architecture classes. I think it's wise, but I do not think it's wise to have ASM as a 1st course in a Programming series.
If your SSL machine is the same as your www host, then if the www host (a more likely target for random attacks) is compromised, the SSL is worthless, since they can replace your cert, access protected data etc, under the same permissions of the www daemon.
Replacing the certificate? Wouldn't just about every browser throw a fit at that? The SSL isn't being used to protect any kind of persistent data on the filesystem.
MPlayer is the last open source project that needs to be giving lectures on breaking licences. The only thing that makes their project usefull are the dll's which they redistribute, the legality of which is iffy at best.
That's odd, I get the most use out of the native libavcodec codecs, native mpeg2, native xvid, native mp3...
You probably field so many because you're giving them such awful advice. Installing the appropriate codec or a simple player like vlc is how you help someone, not by pointing them at installs for the wrong OS.
We have a weird mix of people here. It seems all of the people who speak 5 languages don't want to be on call 24H, while the ones who are willing to sleep by their laptops only know English!
Multilingual team leads probably aren't enough to keep teams/ppl working at relatively "normal" efficiency.
Sure...but the truth is the specific issues that surface can happen locally as well. All it takes is patience, persistence and constant communication between both sides. This approach will result in the remote specific issues fading to the background.
Remote administration is routine, and it's not going away. Best to learn now how to deal with it. Find and buttress the strong points while weeding out the weak ones. Visit the remote site at least once and dig into the culture. Learn to train your ear to deal with different accents. Put yourself in the other side's shoes and don't forget to consult a calendar so you know when their holidays occur:)
For one, you're ignoring time differences. There's also more to working with foreign teams than accents. Not being able to walk down the hall and grab some people to hash out an issue and get some face-time is important too.
For call centers, perhaps, but I wouldn't bank on having the IT jobs return from cheaper lands. If the IT geek doesn't have to deal with the end user then the language barrier is virtually nonexistent, at least as far as the masses are concerned.
Does the primary language of the person who programs your dialog boxes really matter?
IT jobs require significant interaction from a Software Engineering standpoint. Having your architects/sales/management on one side of the world and ppl doing the "grunt" work on the other side can be very frustrating and impede progress.

Get Ritek DVD-/+Rs. They're the best, most reliable quality discs on the market right now. Amazon has some deals on them right now.
No, they're mediocre. You can get much better quality if you're willing to pay for it.
Isn't the whole point that these things are disputed?

"Laptops aren't being recalled, memory is. Writeup is too sensationalized"
"Ford Pintos aren't being recalled, gas taks are. Writeup is too sensationalized"
Uh-huh.
It's a laptop recall with no laptops being sent for service? Novel.

For mozilla, simply middle-clicking (anywhere that isn't a link) in a page is probably a better method.
The thread-started couldn't link to "some actual legal document" because there is no such document defining "fair use"
Sec. 107. - Limitations on exclusive rights: Fair use

Learning the syntax of a new language should not be a significant challenge to an experienced, talented developer
That would be great if we were porting 20 line ruby scripts to eiffel, but there's more to developing a language than syntax
SUSE Enterprise is a "no-cost distribution"?

I'll take that bet seeing as how Quadriplegics aren't generally known for being terribly sexually active.
Neither am I, doesn't keep me away from my porn.

I don't get it -- your friend couldn't follow your awful advice?

Or you can recognize that you're getting what you pay for with "remote" resources and deal with them accordingly.
If "face time" were a non-western concept you'd have me bending over backwards to cater to it at 5am with a translator inbetween.
