Slipstick is probably one the best collections of Exchange Server info out there. Paul Robichaux's Managing Microsoft Exchange Server is also a good reference to have on hand.
The scariest part is that you're a large enough company to need 5 Exchange Servers, but the person in charge of them doesn't have the most basic understanding of what he's dealing with.
What I dislike about them is that you can't see them as you are approaching until you get quite close. Are they better when the sun is in your eyes or shining directly on them? I've always wondered why they were used.
Typically, those are used where there are a number of signals in a cluster, or the streets intersect at odd angles, and there is a risk that a driver may incorrectly be looking at the wrong signal. So the lens limits the angles where the light is visible so you don't see it until it's obviously yours.
Of course, they aren't always oriented ideally, and if the system is out of sync you can be caught off-guard by a suddenly red light.
you're going to be able to get much more efficiency out of the process
Perhaps from the standpoint of controlling certain pollutants you will. But in new gasoline cars, those pollutants are nearly zero anyway.
The problem comes in that you always have to put more energy into releasing the hydrogen than you ever get back, so it's more like a battery than a fuel source. When looking at the whole energy chain, a hydrogen fuel cell vehicle is basically a wash in terms of efficiency when compared to a modern IC engine. So if the 'sky is falling' types are to be believed, and we're running out of fossil fuels, our current best methods of H2 production are a less efficient use of that resource.
And what about greenhouse gasses (if you're convinced of that being a problem)? As long as we're using natural gas as the source of H2, you've got carbon dioxide to deal with. Possibly this can be reinjected into wells, but that means you'll have to have your gas cracking plants built close to those wells.
Plus, if we start using large volumes of hydrogen, that will be natural gas that's not available for firing electric plants, or heating homes, so those prices will jump even higher.
The ones I really hate changing are 15 feet up, so I have to drag a ladder in to change them
Then get one of the extension poles built just for this purpose. You can store it in the corner of a closet, and it's a lot less hassle than dragging out a ladder (and you elminate the risk of falling).
When I see an urban GPS in the $200 range, I have to suspect that the designers have tagged a bunch of driver-support features on top of a cheap GPS receiver that's not really up to the job. Perhaps I'm wrong.
You're probably correct. The manufacturer of the Navman can save a little money since they're using the Palm for the display. They've saved a little money by simply writing software for the Palm, rather than rolling their own environment. But there's still the street software to be licensed, etc., so they're not putting that much money into the hardware.
The Navman unit says its chipset is the SIRF star IIe, which I'm not familiar with, but appears to be common in low power GPS devices. Most dedicated GPS devices will suck down the batteries pretty quickly, so it may just be that the SIRF chip isn't that good, or can't be as good and still have low power consumption. Lowrance has always used a customized version of the Rockwell chipset, and Garmin uses a custom system as well.
For under $200, you can get some nice units. The market is being flooded with cheap units now. You don't say what you currently use.
For a bit over the $200 mark, you might want to look at the Lowrance GlobalMap 100. The only times I've seen problems with acquisition on one was in city environment where I was effectively in a valley, and the birds were blocked. Lowrance has a lower-priced line now called the iFinder. I haven't used one, so I don't know how it compares, but presumably they're still using the Rockwell design, in which case the only difference in reception would be the antenna design.
The important thing is that you're not going to be able to get the same kinds of street mapping and driving instructions on the lower priced units that the Street Pilot and the iQue provide.
If you, or anyone else is considering a new GPS, I'd highly recommend spending some time here. The guys who run the site are GPS geeks, and tend to give unbiased reviews of GPS products. Plus they've got lots of links to other sites, including software.
if you've used a cheap urban GPS that works better than what I've described, I want to know about it!
Define cheap. You can buy inexpensive units with good quality receivers, but they typically aren't going to have the level of sophistication you see on this or the Street Pilot in terms of their maps, driving directions, etc.
You may also want to check into using an external antenna.
School of MIS is new since I was there (graduated in Dec 1993). As is the school of Education. It's still predominantly an engineering school though, I can't see many teachers wanting to go there unless they happen to live in town. Most of my English and introductory math classes had some local folks taking classes that would fall into the "non-traditional student" category.
I'm a bit more recent, being 1995 and 1997. The whole MIS thing was just getting rolling then. The pre-nursing thing was getting started then too, but I didn't know about it until they started announcing that department at commencement....;)
I'd modify your statement to say that it's predominantly a science school, since non-engineering disciplines like geology, math, physics, chemistry, and life science draw a pretty good non-townie student body, and there's lots of good research being done in those departments. But yes, things like Education are Business aren't likely to be big draws for out-of-town students. However, having the ability to go there for engineering, and either minoring in, or just taking electives from the business school can certainly be useful on the resume.
Oh, and if any young slashdotter is out there looking for a good computer science/math/engineering program, UMR is a great school, and all of the jobs I've had since graduating have recruited from there heavily with really good results.
And you'll also run into lots of UMR grads, especially if you hang around St. Louis or KC. A mechanical engineer friend of mine who's not originally from the area once commented on how much of an outsider he feels like because he didn't go to UMR.
Also, if you're a music geek, while there's not much in the way of a scene in Rolla, it is home to one of the few remaining free-format, student run radio stations, KMNR.
There's now some baked potato type of place in there.
For any alums who haven't been back to Rolla recently, you should really stop by when you can. The changes have been dramatic. The new EE and CE buildings really make things look different along Pine Street. There's a Lowe's now too.
Don't forget Emerson, Graybar, May Department Stores, Charter Communications, Express Scripts, Arch Coal, Brown Shoe, Energizer, Sigma-Aldrich, Enterprise, Maritz, and Solutia....
St. Louis has 15 Fortune 1000 companies, and ranks 7th as a headquarters location for Fortune 500 companies.
Plus huge operations for companies like MasterCard, CitiMortgage, etc.
And getting back into sciences, there are programs for pre-med, pre-dentistry, and pre-veterinary, as well as pre-nursing, and pre-law.
The female population is currently listed as 25%. It's been around 23-24% for the past ten years or so. Go back a few years, and it was much worse. In 1977, only 15% of the campus was female. (You used to be able to view the historical enrollment data on the web site, but I can't find it right now.)
Crap. Meant to check the 'no karma' box and hit Submit...
What I wanted to add is that given the low amount of crime in the area, this is probably the only time the UMR Police have had to deal with finding a body in a parked car.
Did you happen to catch Kevin Smith's 'Roadside Attractions' segment that took him through Rolla? He was interviewing the head of the Rock Mechanics lab (Dr. Summers?) at Stonehenge. Asked about sacrificing virgins and such...
Also did the goofy 'Millenium Arch' sculpture over at Castleman Hall. Which, BTW, was the subject of a recent FARK Photoshop contest.
Unfortunately, the clip they have on the Tonight Show web site has the Rolla part cut out, so he goes from St. Louis directly towards Branson.
Hell, doctors will keep making a lot of money too!
Except that a lot of doctors are being driven out of business by high malpractice insurance premiums (lawyers again), and even some medical jobs are being outsourced. Get a CAT scan, and it may be interpreted by a radiologist in India or elsewhere.
For example, on Speedvision(now "The Speed Channel"),
Speed Channel is about the only game in town to catch non-NASCAR racing. Of course, you have to find it in the middle of all their NASCAR programming......
But they do provide coverage of F1, FIA World Rally, SCCA Rally, and various other racing (Le Mans, etc.)
If you want to find even more motorsports options, you should check out Grassroots Motorsports. They cover a wide variety of racing, especially SCCA and other club-type events.
I'll strongly support the suggestion that you check out rallying. There's nothing like getting sprayed by gravel with the sounds of a wastegate popping and straight-cut gears whining.
Oh, and while NASCAR is indeed big business in the US, it's still rather small compared to F1. It's estimated that F1 World Champion Michael Schumacher has an income in excess of $100 million a year, which makes him the highest paid person in the world of sports.
but everyone I know who is excited about NASCAR and Formula One racing
This has to be an extremely small set of people, if they like both NASCAR and F1. I suppose the fact that they're into NASCAR explains their fascination with crashes. Perhaps you should talk to some actual F1 fans who don't consider driving around in a big circle to be racing.....
SOME do this. very few of them have the funds to buy the scanners and pay the monthly subscription to the database
While it's true that not all do this, I think it's more a procedural problem. I don't know about the 'Home-Again' product, but the company that makes the AVID chip provides free scanners to shelters.
Once you've got the number from the chip, finding the information requires only a phone call. (Of course, the owner needs to keep their information up to date as well, or the system is useless.)
The makers of these products are selling a service and peace of mind to the pet owner. For that to be effective, the shelters need to have the scanners. If they can't afford them, the whole premise of the system breaks down, so it's in the best interests of the chip providers to donate the necessary equipment to the shelters.
it's not a worthwile thing to do until ALL places are required to scan the pets and the national database is free for use.
The cost of the database is borne by the pet owner, not the person calling in a number for information.
Using your logic, it's not a good idea to carry a cell phone for emergencies because service isn't available everywhere. Tags are worthless too, since some people can't read, and others don't have phones.
Speaking of tags, they should always be on your animal. If a neighbor finds your pet, they can look at the tags and contact you. I also recently found a dog that was fitted with one of the products, and it had a tag with the chip's number on it, so even without a scanner, I could call and provide the number. But since the owners hadn't directly registered the animal, the best they could give me was who implanted the chip. It took several phone calls to the shelter where they adopted the dog, the vet, etc. before I finally could find out where the dog lived and get it home. A simple tag with an address and phone number greatly simplifies things for those who find your pet. (And if your pet travels with you, be sure to add a tag with your current contact info as well.)

This sounds very similar to what Microsoft was recommending at their Technet events a couple of months ago:
Think instead of devices, he was planning on selling drugs. He needn't actually sell the drugs to get busted as a trafficker -- that's why they call it "posession with intent" (at least where I live).
Difference is that being busted as a trafficker is a criminal offense. This guy is going to do jail time for the criminal aspect of his actions, but the money being paid is restitution to the satellite companies for revenues they could have lost.
What if someone had a history of burglarly, got caught breaking into a house, and had a shopping list of other addresses with him? If we use this case as the basis, the guy would go to jail for burglary, and have to pay all of the people on the list for what he might have stolen from them.
But this it/. we're talking about. Only a handful of us have wives anyway...;-)
But regardless, what about the wife who is picking up the dry-cleaning, or something for dinner on her way home?
Not to mention that fact that many people work uncertain hours. Something comes up at work, and you're there for two more hours than normal. Makes the carpool a bit tough.
Want to reduce rush hour traffic by 10%? Virtually eliminating jams? Find an alternate way to work twice a month.
Or work hours that allow you to avoid the peak traffic periods. Obviously not every job has that kind of option, but many companies could help a great deal if they'd set up their shift workers on an offset schedule.
Traffic, much like data, increases to fill the available space.
To some extent, yes. Various anti-car organizations are always against adding lanes or building new roads, with the argument that they'll simply encourage more traffic. But the fact is that we've stagnated on our highway capacity, yet the number of cars and miles driven continues to increase. Where I live, there is horrendous traffic from certain areas, yet those areas still continue to grow. In those places the need for extra capacity is already there. Not creating more roads isn't stopping the demand.
I don't like it either. Those lanes were put in with the admission proce being >1 person in the car.
Or they were simply redesignated at some point to be HOV lanes. Either way, it's still a pure money grab.
