On that note, you could have just booted to a linux floppy (or cdrom) and mounted the XP partitions to poke around or make changes if you really wanted.
because of the robot's passive nature, people tend to ignore it after short period of ogling. This allows for some great natural shots, instead of the typical forced and self-conscious shots from human wedding photographers.
I have photographed a couple of weddings. People seemed to ignore me the entire time (ie. no period of ogling, sniff-). I guess I am just one of those people who lurks in the background, going unnoticed. 'tis true, I did end up with a great deal of "natural" (excellent) photographs, some possibly embarrassing memories.

The jackets, sadly, come with a nasty price -- US$500
What is wrong with the price? My favorite winter coat cost almost twice that.
It is hard to find a good warm coat that is not huge/puffy, and that does not restrict movement. -
Hmmm... and I am sure that anyone who has purchased a real leather jacket has spent about that price. and I am sure their leather jacket wont be as warm as this thing.
What about the HP LHr series, intel based, servers? They have been shipping with RedHat Linux for years.
Sure they are "servers" but they make a decent SMP workstation too with a Matrox G400 MAX installed.
It is not a very big step for HP, packing Linux on the workstations.
Not in my opinion.
Verizon wireless service is great. The calls are clear, it stays digital more than you would expect, and they have service plans to fit everyone.
However, I have had reoccurring billing issues and trying to deal with their customer support is hell.
Here is a little narrative on what happens EVERY time I call:
You call, you enter you phone number, you wait, you get a human, they ask for you phone number, they tell you that you reached they "insert any call area but yours" and they need to forward you. You are on hold again, rings, they ask for your phone number, they tell you that you reached they "insert any call area but your own", you ask how that can be since the first they you are required to do is enter your phone number, and since the last person verified your calling area and was suppose to route you to the correct place.. they do not say anything, and then say they will route you to your calling area.. you go on hold again... the phone rings, they ask for your phone number.
Now at this point, if you are lucky, they will ask for you security pin, and then help you (and they are usually pretty good at helping you and crediting the amount in err back to you account), however, it could potentially repeat the first cycle two or three more times. But this call routing gets you to at least three call centers before you reach the correct one. Could just be lazy tech support not wanting to help you so they route you to their cube neighbor. I was told by the local retailer that the call centers are actually all in one building in Chicago, with different departments for the different calling areas. And that when the automated system asks you to enter your number, it should pick your area code and route you to the correct place.
There is some flaw in their system somewhere, and it is really annoying.
Actually, Mercedes is still producing the UNIMOG (in various forms) for military uses.
The UN uses them for radio trucks, mine sweepers, troop carriers, etc., etc.
You could just buy one:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI. dl l?ViewItem&item=600465946
as a platform to make your on MaxiMog.
Full size Ford vans can be ordered in four wheel drive format.
My parents have one, just a little higher than the normal econoline(sp?), extremely practical for a family living in/near the mountains, frequently taking the children and their friends on ski trips. A lot more storage space and leg/head room than any SUV.
And excursions are just plain scary. If you need that much room, get a van.
Microsoft will patch a flaw in its Web browser that could allow an attacker to silently download and execute malicious programs on the computers of users who view a specially constructed Web page or e-mail message.
The patch for Internet Explorer (IE) is currently in testing and could be released soon...
So, am I missing something? There is a patch in the works, it is just not released.
Sure, it should have been released a long time ago. Or, should never have had to become an issue.
Shame on MS for bad practices.
But the/. article leads one to believe that they are brushing it off. When infact, they were just trying to wait until they actually had a worth while patch before they said anything.
Now the real question is.... will the patch just open 7 more holes?
"...to socialise with each other..."
Why is THAT important?
Seriously though, I wish I would have had such opportunities as a child.
Instead I had to putts around with a bunch of stupid children. And I got bored, and lost interest in schooling.
I never fell behind, or received poor grades (well, okay, I sucked at spelling, and still do maybe) but I hated school. It was an utter waste of time I felt.
Homeschooling?
Homeschooling can be good, but it also can be the worst thing for a child. Especially later in life, some colleges and universities seem to really frown on letting homeschooled children into their schools.
Moreover, the question was not "should I continue to assist this child in furthering his knowledge?"
but rather, "What subjects would you consider to be worth while?"
Actually, I believe it is because they have plants there, that they are being suid. Germany site does lots of devel. work for unix systems and what not. Mmmm... OmniSlut.. I am back.
You cannot expect them to pull out of Germany simply for a little lawsuit.
or original.
All of the scsi cables in any of the HP/Seagate disk arrays that I have are like this.
3M sells SCSI and ID cables like this.
I prefer them, but mostly becaause they have the flap on the back side of the conector to unplug with instead of pulling on the cable itself.
Yeah so, before you go slicing things up, you should decide whether it isn't worth the few dollars to just purchase one.

Actually...
yeah, I would rather have seen an Imac with wmaker.
And then I could listen to all of you confused people discuss that one. No doubt people would think someone striped out the mac and built an x86 machine with the shell. and all kinds of crazy things just to say it was linux.
But no.
I would be willing to bet that that is an sgi machine anyway.
That's funny...
Looks like wmaker running with gnome (the theme).
Hrmmm.. and.. I run that daily on hp-ux and have sampled such themes (with the title bar on the left and what not) before.
And, that is for sure wmaker, top left corner, what is that? Why, that is the wmaker clip of course. So, I don't want to hear anyone else say they are running E simply because you recognize the theme, or layout of those video windows.
So, umm... hait to say it but, that could very well be a sun station or any other *nix really.
Plus, they probably have enough money, I mean, wouldn't you be using an sgi machine?
Although, Is that an IBM flat panel?
Yes of course I went to highschool.
and then some...
and some more later now doubt.
Just hp-ux admin now though, and cisco cert. pretty soon.;^)
I better make a hell of allot more after that.
-xt
That was "a couple of years ago"?!?
Damn, I remember that, and it does not seem like I have been reading/. that long. Or maybe it is because I barely read it anymore? Who knows.
But yes, it does look quite a bit nicer, and they have a few different styles now.
Wow... maybe I can afford one now, I could not back when I first read about it I know.
Odly enough, I never put my age on a resume. In the US of A you are not required to. And I figured that, with them not knowing my age, I stood a better chance of at least getting there for an interview. But for the exact opposite reason of most of the people posting here. For I am 18 years old, and I was afraid that anyone who read my resume and then saw my age, would surely think that it was a work of fiction, and simply toss it to the side.
With an interview then you at least get a chance to let them know who your are and how much you know. And they cannot rightly discriminate as to your age ahead of time. Also, chances are, even if the recruter did by chance read the resume, they probably would not understand how valuable any of your experience was.
With that in mind, I have had nothing but good experiences with getting hired. Infact, I have had employers fumbling over themselves trying to hire me away from the other. Within the last year I moved to another state, and I was worried about being able to get another job that I truly enjoyed and that was worth while for me. Once you get past the recruter things are fairly simple. At least for me, that is how it worked. All of the positions I was interviewed for, first I was interviewed by the recruter, and then by the
manager who I would be working under and, in most cases, a coworker or someone who I would be working directly with and who knew what the job needed most. For two of the positions, the manager and employee actually put together a test of sorts, to measure knowledge in areas of interest. Or perhaps just to make sure that I was not some 18 year old who thought it was fun to write bs on my resume. Whichever was the case, it seemed like a hell of a good idea to me. And if I am ever in the position to hire someone, I will surely do something simular. Anyway, with that going for me I was accepted for both possitions.
Now I have since moved to another job in the same organization, bypassing completely the recruiter (which was nice) and having the manager come to me and offer me a "better more fitting" posstion. Actually, he pestered me for a few weeks before I agreed to interviewing with him and his manager. And then there was a few more weeks where I was hesitant of leaving my relatively recently acquired possition.
I would suggest that you not include your age when submitting your resumes. I do believe that you would stand a better chance of at least being acknowledge if there was any sort of discrimination going on. Also note that both of the men who I work with now are well into their forties. And one of them was hired, from outside, a little more than a year before me. So it is infact possible to acquire a decent tech job (in this case of the Unix admin/programmer type) at those ages. The down side to that is, I am subject to allot of little kid type joking. Pretty soon here I am going to have to come up with some old-man come backs to put them all in their places.
On the subject of hours willing to be worked. I believe that everyone is very much correct in saying that younger people are hired for their willingness to work ridiculously long hours and hardly compensated. Which was actually my final deciding factor in leaving my last position. Some young people (like myself) maybe just need to have this pointed out to them. "Hey, look, you are working well over 60, sometimes 70 hours a week and they are not giving you what you are worth for the first 40." Let people know that they are being taken advantage of because either they do not knoe any better, or they do not mind. That way, if everyone works ~40 hours, the employer will see who is truly worth more. No doubt the more experienced or well endowed employee will be getting the job done, and done right, in lesser time.
