I work in a coal mine and they bought us the Dells. They have been nothing but problems. Mine alone has had a motherboard failure and a wireless card die. The keyboard is a disaster. Trying to blind type with it is almost impossible. My computer shuts itself down regularly for overheating problems. The Panasonic toughbooks blow them away.
I work for a Catholic school and trying to get the Archdiocese to switch over to OSS is like pulling teeth. You would think that with as tight as school budgets are that saving $40 for a wordprocessor would make them jump but they just will not do it. Then you look at some of the overpriced budget and database software they use and you really start to shake you head.
ninetimes said: It may be an expedient move in this particular case, but as a general rule, it doesn't seem to make sense that another country can prosecute me in court for something that I do in my own country when that action is legal in my own country.
This is a slippery slope. If we follow this logic we could have never try some people for genocide. Think about what is happening in the Darfur region of the Sudan and how the people would never receive justice under this argument.
Yes some insurance companies do charge more for smokers. My employer charges an extra $28.00 a month for smokers. On top of that if you lie about it they can reprimand you for it.
I can not answer the question about suburu but if he is looking for a honda or toyota it does not matter wear it is made. Honda and toyota built their plants in the south and the quality is just as good as those built in Japan.
I suggest you check out this transcript from a frontline program http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/shows/knew/ . I do not think that this program will help. What needs to be done is to completely revamp the CIA and redo a lot of the FBI. We still look at the world through the eyes of the cold war. AL Queda looks at the world differently. We had warnings six years before this but our cognitive dissonance stopped us from listening.
Being an avid biker and very frugal about how much I spend on stuff I check the web a lot for bargains. I am also very big at 6'2" and 275# so finding bike clothes in non-European sizes is tuff. Some of the sites I buy from frequently are: www.nashbar.com www.performancebike.com ww w.supergo.com. A carbon fiber bike for $1300.00 www.sierratradingpost.com I bought a northface winter jacket for $100.00 off. www.campmor.com
It just amazes me that the repulicans are all about government staying out of our lives but they produce so much legislation the interferes with our lives. I think that it is time for king George the second to reread the bill of rights or maybe its time for us to fight the revolutionary war again.
The best part of deconstruction is that it comes from the French who took it from the Greeks. At the heart of deconstruction is the theory that know understands what anyone else is saying. Lets add this to the fact they translated this from the Greeks, I can't understand my fellow frenchmen but I can translate this Greek and perfectly understand it, and then translate it into English.
You see a lot of comments were people say to eat less and esercise more and this I agree with. A few years ago I was diagnosed a couple of times with borderline high blood pressure. Mine was sitting at 159. I was told that if the next time that they saw me and it was at this level I would go on ligh blood pressure medication. I started walking again everyday. I was doing 2-3 hours of walking sometimes in 90+ weather. This was broken up into 3-4 walks. I cut back to 2 sodas a day and started to drink about 90 ounces a water a day. I started to cook my own meals and only ate twice a week with one meal being at a chinese resturaunt were the food is healthy. I know the owners and talk with them about the way they prepare meals. two years later I had lost 70+ pounds, I was above 350#, and my blood pressure was at 125. Notice that I did not have to buy a book to accomplish this. I now bike six days a week doing around 125-150 mile a week. I still need to lose around 50-60lbs. but I have also gained a lot of muscle.
Most people would do themselves a lot of benefit from just cutting out drinks with corn syrup in it. Also the use of heart rate monitor when working out will help you gauge your progress. You need to also have two workouts that week where your heart rate is kept between 75-85% of your max heart rate. Doing the same type of exercise everyday at the same heart rate will do you some benfit but your muscles will grow used to this. There was a study published were they looked at desk jockeys who exercised 5-6 days a week versus constuction workers who dead heavy labor for work and the desk jockeys fared better. Invest in a heart rate monitor work book and if your looking at a diet try the diabetic diet. Its free and you can find it on the internet. You can also see a doctor about a diet and exercise regimen and talk to a registered dietician about the diabetic diet. My next goal is to spend some time with a personal trainer to concentrate on my problem areas, i.e. my enormous deer gut.
So does this mean that UNIX has become like Kleenex? Are they unable to trademark the name therefore is the code also untrademarkable? I can not see this happening but it would be interesting.
I guess at this pont why isn't the linux community tareting companies that use SCO services. If McDonalds is still a big purchaser of SCO a campaign to boycott them would really scare them because of their profit situation an in turn would drive down SCO's stock price.
It is really confusing to me that anyone listens to these people. They are the ones who touted microsoft for years and look at the money that they have cost the industry. I think that they need to open their books so everyone can see where the funding comes from and then we can make an informed decision on their decision.
So I look at something like this and go how will this advance mankind. The only answer is that it will not. This is like trying to balloon around the world. I think subjuects like this have no0 relevence on slashdot. He could take the money that he is squandering on this and give it to doctors without borders and actually do some good in this world. Isn't it time that postmodernism died.
I would highly suggest going with Direct TV. They have a better selection of channels and basic is around $30.00 a month. They own USSB. We liv in the midwest and unless there is a heavy snowstorm we have no problems with recption. We figured we would pay off the cost of the dish in one year. There is an online store called dish direct, sorry I cannot remember the URL, that gives a discount on dishes for first time dish buyers. We bought a Sony dual LNB SA4 for around $250-$300

Did not the state of California try this with tragic consequences? Rolling blackouts to keep prices artificially high.

Sorry to dissapoint you but it is not. It was written completely by Crichton because he thought that Beowulf was boring.
....maybe Barbra Streisand?
I want the one that comes in the lime green package with the gold chain for the cable.
I think you are thinking of Black Sabbath.

Actually it would be the eth. The thorn is the voiced and the eth is is unvoiced. Say "that" and then say "the" and notice the difference.
