On Catalyst 3850s this has been fixed since the release of 3.3.5SE code (release November 2014), so this is old news. Even on older code, the problem can be fixed by using the command "no setup express". I have to say running into this the first time and trying to figure out why the switch had a blank config was a head scratcher...
Actually if you read George Vaccaro's blog you will see that Verizon didn't really concede anything.
It sounds like they gave him a full refund because they didn't want to deal with him being an irate customer, but admitted no wrongdoing.
He has posted comments hinting that he will refuse the full refund and demand to be charge the correct rate ($0.71) so they have to admit they really did get the math wrong.
I believe the audio on PutFile is longer (27 minutes verse the YouTube's 22 minute version).
Also, Andrea (the call rep) leaves her contact information at the end. Maybe someone here can explain this simple concept to her? Her phone number is 1-888-581-1070 (Ext. 2234)
If you call the number currently it says "The mailbox for Andrea is full"...
A few times I have turned to my friends and asked them if they just saw that blip on the screen. In every single case they look at me like I'm crazy. I wonder if it's because they don't recognize it as a watermark. Maybe their brain just thinks it's a scratch on the film and they subconsciously ignore it. I doubt that my eyes are somehow "better" at detecting frame-length flashes. Now that I can pick them out I see them every single time (sometimes 5-10 times per movie). Very distracting.
It's not advertising at all. The section just does a regular google news search for some terms you specify and puts that in its own section on your news page. For example if you are really into the Michael Jackson trial you could make that its own category and it will display X number of articles containing those keywords.
Close enough that they would have gotten a dusting of ash in 1980 (as did we in Portland, though I was too young to remember), but not close enough to do cover them in lava.
My dad always says how that day he went out to his car and noticed a fine layer of ash on the top. He lived in Colorado.
In fact, every university lab that I have visited is a 100% Microsoft shop.
You havn't been to the College of Computing computer lab at the Georgia Institute of Technology then. It has about 75-100 computers and dual boots RedHat and Windows 2000. Interestingly, most of the time you will find that the students actually prefer RedHat, and if you want to boot into Windows you will have to restart. Granted, this lab is mostly used by CS majors since it is located in the College of Computing, but Linux obviously doesn't prohibit them from getting real work done at all. In fact, one of the indroductory courses (used to be called CS 2130, it has been morphed into something new now) requires the use of Linux in the lab.
From http://www.chicagologic.com/QWERTYrumor.htm --
A long-lived rumor is that typewriter inventor Christopher Sholes arranged the letters in the QWERTY layout to slow down the typist.
If this were true, he would have located popular letters such as "A" and "S" at the far corners of the keyboard and located unpopular letters like "Q", "Z", and "X" under your fingertips, right where you don't need them. Looking at the PC (QWERTY) keyboard shows us that, in fact, the opposite is true.
What really happened was Mr. Sholes varied from his original alphabetic layout* when he placed commonly used pairs of letters such as "sh", "ck", "th", "pr", etc. on alternating sides of the keyboard to reduce jamming of the typewriter's swing-arms.
This design change actually had the bonus effect of speeding up typing by letting the user alternate hands more often - think drum roll.
A 1953 U.S. General Services Administration study of the QWERTY keyboard and it's only serious challenger, the DVORAK keyboard, found no appreciable typing speed difference between the two keyboards. Fingers travel less distance on the DVORAK layout, but additional alternating-hand keystrokes speed up the QWERTY layout. The result - a draw.
The fact is, QWERTY works and it works quite well.
* You can see remnants of Mr. Sholes original alphabetic layout in the QWERTY layout, namely the keys "FGHJKL".
Firefox has been a 100% grass-roots effort to date. SpreadFirefox.com, the site devoted to informing people about Firefox's benefits over IE, has 35,000 members, basically volunteers that provide free advertising.
Everything is not well though. They are being a little too secretive about the status of the NYT ad, which garnered $250,000 from the community. Threads have begun to pop up about what exactly happened to the ad, and some people are starting to whisper "refund":
Anyone know if the New York Times ad went through? Is it available to view anywhere?
The design has not been finalized yet. Also, when they submit the final design to the New York Times, the newspaper gives them a window of about three weeks for which the ad could run. This gets Spread Firefox a better price.
It's illegal to open snail mail addressed to others. But this is e-mail, and it was specifically addressed to the.org domain anyway, so this is a moot point.
By 'stupid', I meant that it was stupid because the contents are probably ILLEGAL under federal election law.
Obviously it's probably not ethical to do this, but I think the Bush administration deserves to have the truth come out about their vote suppressing tactics.
What's interesting about this story is the way the it was uncovered. The "secret" email was only revealed because of the stupidity of the sender. Instead of sending it to an email address at the real bush campaign website, it was sent to georgewbush.org, an anti-bush website. georgewbush.org decided to post all email in their catch-all to in what they call the "dead letter office."
From what I gathered from the CNN article, this will work with any browser, however it will only index the text of webpages visited with Internet Explorer. This is just a beta test, but some non-Microsoft application support would be nice including:
* Firefox * PDF * GMail (with your supplied login and password, kind of like the gmail tasktray notifier) * MP3 ID3 tags * Image metadata
Until support for at least Firefox gets included I think I will stay away.
Eastpak makes normal backpacks with padded laptop sleeves. I bought one my freshman year and highschool and have used it almost every day for the past 7 years and it is still just as good as the day I bought it. The only potential problem is not being able to fit one of those huge 8 pound notebooks inside the laptop sleeve, but it should work for everything else.

Actually they have now changed their name on eBay to BarclayPhoto
The blogger that this all started with has been doing a good job of tracking these guys down, including all of the aliases they operate under.
Yup,

In related news, the long overdue Day of Defeat: Source mod is set for release on September 26th.

You will be able to purchase it on Steam and pre-load the large art files a week in advance.
If you already bought the silver or gold HL2 edition you can reportedly pre-load now.

You got the quote wrong, and ironically it is in fact Microsoft that is mentioned by Jack:
"When deep space exploration ramps up, it will be corporations that name everything: The IBM Stellar Sphere. The Microsoft Galaxy. Planet Starbucks."

Thank you much, now I have an excuse to take a break from my 2340 homework.
