VMware doesn't emulate a 386 good enough to run OS/2. OS/2 used things that no one else used like part of the OS running in ring 2. Virtual Box will run OS/2, so will Virtual PC but not VMware
Actually, I tried to force my landlord to allow me to install a sattelite dish. While the law says that technically they must allow it, they can make up all kinds of ridiculous rules that pretty much nullify the law. For example, my landlord said that I could install a sattelite dish, but I couldn't drill holes in the roof, as that could damage the house. No sattelite installer would install a sattelite dish without drilling holes in the roof, so I was stuck, unless I wanted to install it myself and try to jury rig something without drilling holes in the roof.
The law only pertains to land or a house you own. If you're renting, then all bets are off.
The rule (47 C.F.R. Section 1.4000) has been in effect since October 1996, and it prohibits restrictions that impair the installation, maintenance or use of antennas used to receive video programming. The rule applies to video antennas including direct-to-home satellite dishes that are less than one meter (39.37") in diameter (or of any size in Alaska), TV antennas, and wireless cable antennas. The rule prohibits most restrictions that: (1) unreasonably delay or prevent installation, maintenance or use; (2) unreasonably increase the cost of installation, maintenance or use; or (3) preclude reception of an acceptable quality signal.
Give me half that and I'll re-do their filter so some 15 year old can't get around it....
Seriously, if you're going to spend that amount of money, you'd be farther ahead putting in a router that the government controls that can be continually updated. You also get cross-platform compatibility as a bonus!
I realize that, but between a job, a long commute, a suburban house near roads where people drive at approximately Mach 2, and 2 young children I find 60-90 minutes of strength training per week far easier to shoehorn into my schedule than taking a long walk every day - especially since I would need to drive somewhere to walk safely.
That's why I've got a treadmill. On it I've added a board across the arms for a desk and placed a monitor in front of it. I've found I can walk around 2.6-2.7 miles per hour on it and still be useful on the computer. It helps me get some walking in when I would be sitting on the couch for an hour or two working on the computer. Here are some crappy pictures of my setup, picture 1 and picture 2. I've actually switched to a 15" LCD monitor in place of the Xbox 360/Macbook combo. The screen was too far back with the macbook. On the desk surface I just have a keyboard and trackball.
I always use a Star Trek analogy with Harry Potter. It seems like it's all magic, but I'm always reminded of Arthur C. Clark's quote Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic. The "Room of Requirement"? It's really a Holodeck. Disapperating? It's just a fast teleporter. The wands? A portable replicator (that one's a stretch). There is all sorts of technobabble, especially in Potions...
Anyway, I'm very impressed how well J.K. Rowling was able to tie almost everything together. This was probably the best of the series, but I'll need to go back and re-read them all!
Is there any reason why Google just doesn't get in on the auction? I'd love to see a more tech minded wireless company competing against Verizon and AT&T.
I can't find out what version of Drupal the authors based this book on. Anyone know?
Ummm, you could read the review:-):
Similarly, the authors also do not mention that the book is, for the most part, only applicable to Drupal version 5, and not version 4 or earlier versions, since there have been some dramatic changes with the release of version 5. In fact, given the extent of the changes and how that would impact the utility of the book depending upon what version of Drupal the reader is using, it should be noted on the book's cover, as an increasing number of publishers are doing.
Pretty much everyone I know has a story about barely scraping by and eating Ramen noodles for weeks/months on end. People who take an entry level job out of high school are making a decent wage that those in college miss out on. Multiply that 20-30k by four and the average college student is already in the hole 80-120k, add on student loans for tuition plus all the hard work spent studying. So I don't think it's unreasonable for college graduates to expect a decent wage.
I think the sense of entitlement comes from the fact that the current generation believes they are the first to suffer these hardships of eating Ramen noodles and taking an entry level job out of high school. I did those exact same things, and it took 7 years out of college before I got a job that paid decently.
It's not unreasonable for a college graduate to expect a decent wage, but in Ohio, a decent wage is 30-35k...
Going with Google email at an ISP level is a BAD IDEA because Gmail **searches** your email archives and displays **ADS** based on the Content it finds.
With the paid version of Google Apps they may still search your mail, but they do not show ads.
It's a nice solution, but the default shell Apple provides isn't as smart as the Finder when dealing with these, so running graphical applications from the command line isn't nearly as nice as it should be (you can't just add/Applications to $PATH and say, Preview list_of_files).
You can use the open command, so for example you can type:
open -a Preview somefile.pdf
And Preview will open with that file. You can also just use:
open somefile.pdf
And whatever application is associated with the file will launch.
Wait a minute, how did you get BSG in HI-Def? I have some hi-def channels, but SciFi is not one of them. AFAIK, it isn't even offered by my system, Dish Network.
It's offered on Universal HD along with Stargate Atlantis.
Plug the VHS reader with the DVD recorder. Play the tape and record it on a DVDRW (using highest available quality). Voilà . That's the easiest way to do it, and the quality is good. Now put the DVDRW in your PC, and get the files (MPEG2 VOB), and use any software for editing them.

I don't know if JVC still makes it, but it will upsample your VHS and DVD viewing to 720p or 1080i (using HDMI outputs, it only goes to 480p with the component output).
Expanded isn't really the right word. When the first iPod came along, hard-drive players were using 3.5" laptop hard-drives. Apple found a manufacturer that was about to launch 2.5" drives, and bought 6 months of their entire production, blocking competitors from being able to match their smaller players for the first six months of the iPods life.
It was actually other manufacturers using 2.5" drives when Toshiba introduced the 1.8" drive with which Apple used with the iPods.
I've had problems with it not doing the right thing when used from several computers or when used with other extensions that use bookmarks. It also seems to slow down some operations significantly. In the end, I removed it; I think it still needs work.
I used to have issues, but it seems to be working better in the last few months. Google Browser Sync does keep backups of each bookmark file, so if it does trash them, you can get them back. Look in your Profile folder for bookmarksbackup.

Apparently geothermal is viable enough that it is an option for new schools to use.
It looks like Ohio has the wind capacity to supply 20% of its needs.

186,000 miles per second, it's not just a good idea, it's the law.

So that free nationwide wireless service I use called Linksys will be renamed Cisco?

He disarmed Dumbledore at the tower at the end of the Half Blood Prince. That means he defeated him and came into posession of the Elder Wand.
