Blocking AIM is usually what happens at two kinds of companies
Make that three kinds of companies. The third being companies in a litigious line of business (finance, banking, pharma, etc), where almost anything, on any user's machine (but especially an executive's machine) is discoverable in a lawsuit. IM logs listing a conversation between two employees is just as discoverable as an email trail. It doesn't have to sit on a server for it to be found.
While your desire to chat with your buddies during work may seem important to you, what would you pick: IM for everyone, or a job to go to?
Don't get me wrong, I use IM at work as well, and I think it can be very useful, but, in the absence of some sort of policy (i.e. if installed, it is for personal use only, or some such), in some industries, it brings more risk than its worth.
The problem is, it wasn't the true enviromentalists who killed this (as they generally have any real power), but infact the very wealthy. You see, the windfarm is going in Vineyard sound, one of the best places for windpower on the east coast. That area of cape cod, and the islands, however, provides some scenic views. So much so that the ultra wealthy have been building houses that point to it for a very long time. And they really, really are concerned about thier views and having to possibly see windtowers. So, we have people like the Kerrys the Kennedys and the Romneys all working together to kill this. Now that's bi-partisan support. The "enviromental" impact is one more smokescreen being thrown up by the opponents to kill the project. It's that simple. They don't care that migratory birds get killed. It's just a convenient excuse to protect million dollar views.
The average people of MA? We don't give a rats ass if John Kerry's view is spoiled, if it provides us with (somewhat) greener power. I live in MA, and I'm all for it.
Pirating Windows is not good. The Crux of this arguement is not that it's ok to pirate windows, but in-fact that Legitimate users can and will get caught up in this action.
Just out of curiousity, how many homeless people do you know/ have met, that you can make such a broad generalization about a populating that is in the 100,000s in the US alone?
If a bridge goes over the Interstate, or the Interstate goes over a road, both of those bridges are numbered in states that put little signed next to the bridges.
I know interstate 93 in NH, at least up to about exit 24, has roughly 1 bridge per mile. I think exit 24 is mile marker 72, and bridge number 69 (they number and sign the bridges in NH) is shortly before that exit.
I FOR ONE WOULD RATHER HAVE A TEMPORARY BENDING OF THE RULES BY THE ONES WE ALREADY PUT IN CHARGE (remember that you and I voted to put all these people in, no matter what party) THAN HAVE THE WHOLE RULEBOOK DESTROYED BY OUR ENEMIES.
What would ever make you think that our rule book, and our way of life, could or would ever be changed by terrorists from the Middle East? The only effects that have had on our society have been those inflicted upon us, by ourselves. The terrorists didn't make us attack Iraq. The terrorists didn't make us monitor our own citizen. The terrorists didn't make us do any of the things that people are all up in arms about. These are all things we did to ourselves. We made our own society more oppressive (and more like what they consider an ideal society) all on our owns. There is no terrorist in Washington DC holding a literal gun to the heads of our elected officials and their appointed agents. They made all of these decisions of their own free will, for what ever reasons they saw fit. But, any changes to the rulebook, as you say, were made by Americans. And, while it is clearly difficult to prove, it certainly appears there were many changes.
Personally, I feel the best response to the attacks, would have been "real" security measures, rather than those which exist solely to raise the fear levels of citizens, and then to have continued on with our country with as few changes as possible.
The more aspects of our country that we change, due to fear from terrorists, the more the terrorists win. The less impact their attacks have on our way of life, the more we win.
Fixing a computer is a hell of a lot easier than fixing water damage. I've done both, and one trip to fix up some water damage and do a good job, is easily worth 10 to 20 "tech support calls".
I'd take that kind of trade any day, and I hate doing tech support on anyone's computer, free or otherwise.
>along with all five of the other registered Republicans in the state,
I work with one of them, I wonder who the other four are. I'm all for succession (VT would definitely go with us, so we'd keep the good skiing, but do we HAVE TO go along with Quebec?
I left it for the same reason. Charecter creation was a blast, and I really liked the classes and skills, but it was just so repetitive and boring, after a while.
Get misson, go to one of 4 instance map types, kill some guys, beat a boss or two, rinse, and repeat.
It's a shame it wasn't better, and it sounds like, from this and other reviews, that CoV is just more of the same with different skills and models.
Actually, it is CDR, at least in the Navy, which (in the US at least) is the only service to have Commander as an officer rank. Take a look here, if you don't believe me: http://www.history.navy.mil/books/OPNAV20-P1000/C. htm
Granted the book in citation there is WW2 abbreviations, but, having been in the Navy since then, and having a brother who is a Commander, I can tell you the CDR remains the abbreviation for Commander in the Navy.
And while we're at it there's also: LCDR -- Lieutenant Commander.
Perhaps you are confusing a commander (leader of an operation) with Commander (a naval rank, O5 = to a Lieutenant Colonel in the Army/ AF/ MC)?
It's been a while since I've seen an AEGIS system (15 years, maybe...) I take it from your post that they've limited the Aegis enough that you no longer find dead sea birds on the forward deck after full power tests?
but, if you're running Oracle RAC, with multiple servers sharing the same filesystem on a SAN (which has its own level of replication, as well), the crash of a single system is invisible to the end-user. I've seen this work in both controlled tests, and 'oh shit a node just crashed' scenarios. I haven't worked with SQL Server in a while, but I have to hope it's gotten better, since then.
I have a pile of several hundred hotel keys, at home (I travelled a lot, for work, for a few years). And there are one or two from a HI Express in there. While every hotel 'asks' you to return the keys, I always kept them. I've never been charged, or even questioned about the card. I always used express check out, however, so it may be different if you actually go to the front desk to check out.
I've used VMWare pretty extensively in development and QA environments. We have systems that in production require 5-6 servers (2 for oracle, 2 for web servers, 1 for an app server). With VMWare images of these systems, I can start up and entire environment, break it, and have a whole new copy of the environment up and running in not a lot of time. I can also take a snapshot of an in development system, start up those VMs and let end users see a system in development, while not letting them on my actual development setup. When they're done, I just shut down the VMs. All on two boxes. Pretty easy from my perspective.I've used VMWare pretty extensively in development and QA environments.

April fools jokes are only funny if they come from something that looks like an original source. Now, if the same article was posted on MSDN, now that would be funny.
(Yes, I know sswug is, but it just doesn't carry the same punch.)
Yes, and they would need student visas. Which they would need to leave the US to apply for. Their status as "undocumented alients" would almost certainly disqualify them from student visas.
The liquor store up on 93 works just fine, thank you very much. no need to slow down traffic any more than that does.
Didn't say I agreed with it, I only said that they've been doing it, and people have been paying it, for quite some time. As I understood it, it was because "too many people were moving to NH to avoid paying income tax."
Interestingly enough, if you worked in MA (your office was here) and you lived in NH, you would have to pay MA taxes on part of your income. I live in the state and work here, so I pay full state taxes, but I know the state has taxed out of state workers for quite some time. With the close proximity of the states in NE, it is quite common to live on one state and work in another. A fair number of my co-workers live in NH.

Do you have a link for that clarification?

I'll give that a try when I get home tonight.
That damn crashing bug was killing me. I was thinking about just uninstalling the game, as it crashed out, at least once an hour.
Yeah, and releasing paid content before releasing bug fixes is bad form.

Can I get a refund on those two semester's tuition that I lost to the first Civ? I know a few others who didn't get the best GPA that year...

That assumes that they are not talking to any news sites, which is not the case here. They'll continue to make comments, just not to news.com.

Interestingly enough, if you worked in MA (your office was here) and you lived in NH, you would have to pay MA taxes on part of your income.
