In my opinion it is better to teach SQL server. It's a lot easier for someone to learn Access after learning SQL Server than it is for someone to learn SQL Server after knowing Access. SQL Server reinforces true database concepts better than Access.
But you also have to consider what the people are most likely to experience in the field.
One advantage of SQL Server is you could set up a single server for everyone to work on, each with their own accounts and databases, and the instructor can look at the stuff for grading. The instructor can also look at progress for larger databases. Something that can't be done as easily with Access.
I personally like my Fisher Space Pen a lot. I have the black bullet model. I picked it up for $15. Its nice and small and fits in your pocket, but when you take the cap off and put it on the end it becomes a full size pen.
Oh yeah, and it writes upside down, under water, in freezing temperatures and all other kinds of conditions. I've never actually tested it under watter or in freezing temperatures, but it does write upside down.
It writes pretty well as far as pens go. Its supposed to write like 3 miles or something. The refils aren't very expensive either.
The US didn't spend any money developing the Fisher Space Pen. The Fisher Pen company did, and the US just bought some of the pens. They did originally used pencils, but I guess they liked the pens better.
I once got a refil for a Lamy pen at the Colorado Pen Company. I bought one at a store, which they no longer have in my area. You can still get them online at ColoradoPen.com.
Technically you can buy it anytime before the ex-dividend date, the date in which ownership determines who the dividend check goes to, and sell it afterwards and claim the dividend. Most likely you will not make must off of this.
What about the exhaust your car generates from the return trip to the rental store. Heck, even the initial trip, because these could easily be delivered in the mail. At least these can be recycled, unlike your car exhaust.
Now don't go talking about your electric car or anything, because the electricity for your electric car has to come from somewhere, and unless your getting it from wind power, solar, or hydro-electric (chances are you answered no) you still are polluting.
What, you couldn't rent a movie to burn it before? All this really does for you is you can get a bunch at once, and just burn them at your leisure. Just wait to open them until you have time to burn and then toss.
I just hope that they are that cheap. It probably costs only penies to make these, and they could sell so many more of them they should make them cheap. Should is the keyword. I think price will be a major factor if this takes off or not.
Look at it from the movie companies point of view, taking out the middle man, you get paid for every copy that gets sold. And its so much easier to distribute them, they could have vending machines all over the place that could sell the newest releases. A potential problem I see is being able to get old movies.
It's not just "blockbuster" movies that are shot in 2.35:1. It's any movie that the director wanted to compose in 2.35:1. Check around, many small-fry directors wish to shoot with the 2.35 composition. If a director is shooting 2.35:1 just because they want it to look like an "epic" then they shouldn't be a director.
1.85:1 is not the default aspect ratio of most movie cameras, it's 1.33:1 if shooting regular 35mm, or 1.65:1 if shooting Super 35 (Full Aperature). I'm not quite sure how the 1.85:1 came to be, but some films are shot 1.85:1 and soft-matted, they use the whole frame, but just matte it at the theatre. If it wasn't matted (or matted incorrectly by the projectionist) sometimes you would see what was intended for TV, or you might see boom mikes or other things not intended to be seen.
A lot of directors shoot the entire film frame but matte the bottom and top to 1.85:1, the most common theatrical format. James Cameron, and I think Kubrick also, shot Super 35. Super 35 uses the same film as normal 35mm, but it uses the full aperaterature, and doesn't leave room for an optical soundtrack, which is not needed with shooting. Sometimes this is because the director is shooting with both full frame and widescreen in mind, but many times it is because spherical lenses are a lot cheaper, lighter and easier to find than anamorphic lenses when you want to shoot 2.35:1. (An anamorphic lens condenses the horizontal 2x, to fit a picture twice as wide as the normal frame onto the 35mm frame.)
First of all, video cameras are not that small and quiet, or at least not the good ones. Second of all, film and developing is expensive. Of course they would probably use 8mm or such, but for a friend of mine who is a film and video student, it costs $50 for four mintues of film to develop.
Also, how are you supposed to have that much film. I'm not sure about 8mm, but I know that a 1000 foot magazine of 35mm only lasts 9 minutes. Sorry, your idea isn't anywhere near practical.
The Canon XL1 already has a feature that allows you to record CRT monitors without the flicker. Probably similar. May be able to defeat this "induced flicker" also.
I have seen many times, for instance on BestBuy.com and Amazon.com, where the manufacturer has restricted the posting of prices for their merchandise. If Amazon or BestBuy sets a price for a companies product that is below the minimum advertisible price, then they can't show it to the public. They can only tell you the price once you show intent to purchase, such as placing it in your shopping cart.
The point is manufacturers do have control over what happens with their pricing. I'm not sure if this is entirely applicable to this case, but it is something to look at.
Changing your MAC address wouldn't screw up a router, a router has no idea what your MAC adress is because they operate on Layer 3. The only network hardware that cares about MAC address for our purposes are switches and hubs. Now if your entire network is switched, this could cause a problem, but as long as there is a router between you and the person with the same MAC this shouldn't be a problem unless you get assigned IP addresses based on your MAC.
Oklahoma recently passed a bill that says that you cant have your drivers license number as your SSN. If your drivers license number is your SSN then next time you renew they give you a new one. I didn't have my drivers license number the same as my SSN, but it will probably be a mess for this database, because a lot of peoples' drivers license numbers will be changing.
So, how does "friend/foe" classification affect moderation? If I mark someone as a foe, and I have moderation points, does it still have the same effect?
Yeah, you may have the right to say what you want, but I also have the right not to listen. Who I declare a friend or foe has no bearing on anyone else, why should be unable to ignore you if I don't like what you have to say. I can do it in real life, why not on slashdot?
They could always have a small text ad in every few comments or something of that nature. It appears from the faq that they are interested in this. See the question in the faq - How about an NNTP news gateway?.

Sorry, don't have time to count every time a story is posted. I have better stuff to do.
Is this the third story about this RFC today, come on, thats just pathetic.

Hey, if your so smart, why can't you even spell Oklahoma right?
Look's like they edited the image. The cell number is gone.
That's kind of like saying that it's illegal to break into your own house.
