Using voltage regulators as you suggest is very inefficient. For example if you have a device which draws 250mA at 2.5V you are burning 2.37watts (9.5V *.25A) just to supply 0.62watts. That sucks.
Console mode is alright, but X with lots of xterms is better. Having your editor and a manpage open side by side is great. Ofcourse a lightweight window manager is a must. I use icewm but as a console junky you may prefer ratpoison. Use a true term like xterm or rxvt not one of those Gnome of KDE monstrousities. I use xterm as it supports ttf, but I believe the lighter weight rxvt now supports true-type as well.
It would seem that you haven't been flying that long. In 2000 a passenger only had to show ID if they had purchased an electronic ticket. And despite the airline's official "non-transferrable" ticket policy, the clerk at the counter only cared if the name on the ticket had the same gender as the passenger.
I have bad news for you. You are a factory worker. Sure your factory is quite a bit different then the factories of the industrial revolution, but it is a factory none the less.
An employer can still monitor email. However PIPEDA limits what the employer can do, and how the email must be protected. Personal information must be protected from disclosure. There are even limits on who can the see the email within the organization. The upshot is that an employer can fire someone for inapropriate use of the computer, but they cannot publish the email.
The cases are unrelated. PIPEDA applies only to personal information. The information on the AirCanada webpage would be corporate information which is not covered under PIPEDA.
Real live plants are nice. Even without a window some plants will be fine under flourescent lighting. Look for "shade" plants.
If possible you may also want to smuggle in a "super-daylight" flourescent light. You want something that is about 5500k with a CRI higher then 80. A single 2ft or 3ft tube, or 20w to 30w compact would be fine.
I have seen the term "project manager" applied to a full spectrum of job duties. I think most people will agree that a project manager is responsible for insureing that a project is completed on time and on budget. (Although that should be the responsibility of everyone.) Beyond that one goal there may be many secondary duties. Part of the confussion may be that a project manager is also tasked with other duties such as designer, lead developer, or HR management. Responsibilities will also depend on the size of the project. So the first step should be to talk with management to determine your exact responsibilities, and to talk with other project managers within your organization. Once you have an understanding of you role then you can start looking at reading material.
There are some basic management skills you will want to work on. When leading technical people you need to convince them the project is good ("buy in"). Lots is written about this and most of it can be summed up with "Treat people with respect." You need to know how to critise properly by asking the right kinds of questions. In general don't ask questions that can be answered with a yes or no. It is harder then you think. Budgeting time is very important. Gant charts (ala MS project) are usefull.
If only that was the case. Most "educational" software I have had the displeasure of looking at was a mess put together by well meaning but otherwise useless hacks. One of the underlying problems is a poor understanding of computers, and how computers can relate to learning.
Not only could the MMORPG publishers make money, but it would almost eliminate many of the hassles that are caused by the third party brokers and the sweatshop gold factories. Certain servers could be designated as "item sale" servers much like PvP servers. There are some details that need to be worked out. More serious players wouldn't want to be on "item sale" servers, and munchkins would still try to buy items regardless of the server they are on. (What is the MMORPG term for munchkin?)
That is what I thought. Those crazy cryptographers have other ideas.
4 bits is the upper bound for entropy of the english language. It the case when you only have one letter and you are guessing what the next letter will be. If you have more letters then the entropy rapidly decreases. The ammount of entropy also depends on how you are calculating it. Compression experts consider the entropy to be about 2 bits. While (pessimistic) cryptographers prefer 1 bit per letter.
MacOS does include the SSH server. You can enable it from the gui. I think it called remote access or something. Sorry I can't be more specific I don't have the mac box here.
The font rendering is a real kicker isn't it. Mac's are supposed to have great font support and yet freetype is hands down better.
You state this as fact, but you don't back it up with numbers. Yes current systems draw more power on the 12v rail. But how much more? How much does each component actually require? The number of 12v components is not interesting. It is the current that each draws that matters.
Too much misinformation is being passed around. All I want to see are solid numbers.
I was dissapointed that Enermax was punished for its over current protection. Over current protection is good. It shuts the power off instead of burning your computer. The testers should have put more effort into determining why the over current protection was kicking in. It is reasonable that the current ratings of the Enermax are absolute max ratings. If true then the Enermax was acting correctly when the testers attempted to draw 100% full load. The testers also didn't indicate if the power supply shut off immediately or after some time.
Another problem I have with this review is the bold statement that 12v is more important then 5v or 3.5v. This may be true, but the testers do not support this with tests or other literature.
Overall I question how "trusted" TrustedReviews really is.
If anyone cares the P200 (non-mmx) had a max power dissipation of 15.5watts, the P166 14.5watts, and the P150 was 11.6watts. See page 31. Other legacy spec sheets.
It was originally promised for Fall of 2003. After the last debian elections a commitment was made for October 2004. I can't remember if that was a code freeze or release. Regardless, the release has slipped.
Some developers are obviously frustrated. They have worked hard on their packages, and have even helped on other packages. Other developers simply don't care if Debian ever releases again.

Did you read the article?
All cpus are tested with both 32bit and 64bit code.
The idea is that google sells the company a box that runs on the company's lan.
Wow. That is supremely fucked.

Canadians have had to show ID

For the letter "V" do you just type a 7 or do you have to hit 7 several times? Like a nokia phone.

Isn't entropy dimensionless?

It does have an integrated ethernet switch, and 4 harddrives. You won't be jamming those into a SFF pc.
MacOS does include the SSH server. You can enable it from the gui. I think it called remote access or something. Sorry I can't be more specific I don't have the mac box here.

Passphrases are just long passwords with (usually) low entropy.
It is estimated that the english language has about 1 bit of entropy per letter.
Thank you. Those are the kind of numbers I was looking for.

The Pentium 150 and 166 could run with a dinky little heat sink and the fan was optional if the case had a decent thermal design.
