It is estimated that 60 billion feet of cable have been abandoned in the plenum spaces that allow air circulation through a building, creating a fire hazard. Older cable could be particularly toxic in a fire.
Everywhere I have worked in recent years, local code has required the use of firestop at each floor with Vertical cabling. That way, there is no airflow between floors. Also, the plenum coated cabling is fire resistant. I have seen some abandoned cabling, but it's never been that big of a deal.
Nah, I still think their numbers are nonsense. I understand that they filtered based on a search. They still worded it in the article to mislead whoever is reading it. My point is that 1. You have to look for that crap to find it., 2. it's not as widespread as all the fearmongers would have us believe., 3. P2P isn't evil.
Yeah, I read that but that just skews the stats even more.. It goes to show that you really have to look for that to find it. It generally doesn't just appear on your screen while you are trying to go about your normal business. If he typed 12 words specifically looking for kiddie porn, and verified that only 42% actually were, Wouldn't that be illegal as well? Also, why only 42%? His numbers still don't add up.
Gillespie said the man used Kazaa, a popular file-sharing web program commonly used to share music, to download the graphic material.
In a study using 12 words associated with child pornography, the U.S. General Accounting Office found that 42% of 1,286 files on the peer-to-peer site contained child porn.
Those figures didn't surprise Gillespie.
What are these idiots on? There are a lot more than 1286 files available via Kazaa, morpheus, etc.. It's not a "site" and there is no way that 42% of it is child porn.. That is absolutely nuts. Most of it is Movies and MP3's There is a fair bit of regular porn as well. If 42% were child porn, that would usurp every single other category.. That stat is just stupid. The sad part is that there are loads of people out there who will believe that nonsense without even bothering to run the numbers..
While proverbs 17:28 does say more or less the same thing, the sig does not quote proverbs 17:28 at all. There was someone else who said that quote exactly. I don't know if it was Abraham Lincoln or not.
Brainyquote.com seems to think it was Abraham Lincoln. Who knows if they are a credible source or not. A bit more searching on google attributes it to George Eliot, Confucious and Mark Twain.
I have a good friend that has a masters degree in Science. He has worked for various drug companies, and some airlines (confirming that the in-flight meals are risk free). He reluctantly discovered that he could take a 3 month MCSE course and make twice what he could make actualy doing something important. Hence, he is working in IT, but is quite talented, and would like to return to Science as a career. Even his job wasn't "the worst job in science" as described in the article, but he does something he doesn't particlularly like because it pays well.. He also supports a few linux servers, but mostly it's MS. His heart is in Science, and he is good at it. Perhaps these guys deserve a bit more..
They've been trying desparately to get into this market for quite some time. It's not actually too surprising that Microsoft would be interested in teaming up with Google. Microsofts attempts at search engines just can't compare with google. If they did team up, I doubt seriously that they would make any sort of effort to convert it to a windows platform or anything.
If they do team up, I sure hope they fix that crap in IE that re-routes me to this:
"We can't find "doesnotexist.c0m"

"There is no issue in my life I take as seriously as this," said Peter Chernin, president and chief operating officer of the News Corporation, which owns 20th Century Fox. "This is going to be with us for the rest of our careers. But if we remain focused on it, maybe it won't kill us and we won't have to panic."
Clearly they have already panicked, and frankly, I hope it does kill them. Extinction isn't so bad for an industry who has gouged the public for so long. Also, lets not forget that the artists get very little money as it is, because they grab most of it..
But there is a growing contingent who fear the threat is closer than some in Hollywood want to admit. Already industry analysts suggest there could be as many as 500,000 copies of movies swapped daily.
Could be.. maybe so, maybe not.. What should we do? Panic, I guess..
Most of the ATM's for my bank in Spain are already windows based. They run NT, and when they boot up, you can see them go through the whole NT boot sequence. (I've seen them blue screen a couple of times, but that's pretty rare.)
They even have the little Windows hourglass on the screen while you are waiting for the transaction to process.
Another bank nearby runs OS/2 Warp on It's ATM machine, but it seems to be out of service as often as in service..
The thinkpad split keyboard was abandoned because it was a space saving tool. Once the LCD screen sizes became larger than the fully expanded butterfly keyboard, the split keyboards were no longer necessary.
Two years ago, your rates would probably be pretty close.
However, with today's prices, I'm pretty sure that $85-$100 per hour is doable. The days of "naming our Price", and them paying it are over, at least for the forseable future..
I would rather think that DVD's will become cheaper and will flourish.
I doubt that within 1 1/2 years, online multimedia will make the leaps and bounds necesary to replace DVD. But, I do think that they will make enough progress to signifigantly drive down the prices of DVD due to the competition.
I for one, prefer DVD's to online because of bandwidth, availability, features, etc.. Also, having the DVD play connected to the internet could enhance the DVD, while not replacing it..
I worked for IBM Global Services, and quite enjoyed it. This was a few years back, but I found the hours fairly reasonable, there was quite a bit of on-call stuff, but it wasn't too bad.
I was installing and maintaining firewalls. My bigest complaint was the amount of work that served for nothing. (ie 2 days of working on a presentation, and no one shows up to see it), and those were usually to encourage us (IBM) to use our own products rather than purchase from the competition. We had OS/2, which at that time worked well for a few things, and obviously, AIX was free, and it rocked!.
There was quite a bit of beaurocratic nonsense, but as a whole, I enjoyed the experience..
IBM GS has a lot of potential, and they do the job a lot better than, say, EDS..
He has been writing for various tech rags since before most slashdotters were even born. His columns are translated into several languages, and published all over the world.
With his experience and connections, he has a pretty good idea of what' going on in the industry. And besides, his articles are interesting.
And you're such a fucking genius? Please..
What the fuck?
Nothing personal, but eat shit and die you pathetic piece of shit. Your post history is full if these kind of stupid fucking comments.
In a recent PC Magazine article by John Dvorak, He mentioned a irider. I haven't tried it yet, but he sure seemed to think it was cool. Apparently, it is loaded with features, and was developed by "some old XTree Hackers". I don't know if that means authors of XTree, or fans of XTree, but either way, it sounds like it's worth a look. Unfortunately, it sounds like it is only for Windows, and it costs $29.95.
I have the same problem in Europe. Nearly all of website with this problem are U.S. based websites. It seems like most U.S. companies forget that there exists a civilized world beyond its borders.
Try using Western Unions website to send money from France to Holland for example. Cant do it. You cant even call them and use the phone service. Its all for U.S. customers only.
There are loads and loads and loads of examples. Even more often its for stupid reasons, like it requires a phone number, and when you enter your phone number it comes back with "Oops youve entered too many digits for your phone number. Please enter your full 10 digit phone number with area code first" The same problem exists with postal codes.
European websites dont have this problem. Its just the American ones. Its quite frustrating, as I am also American, and would often like to order stuff from there. I usually just bring an empty suitcase when I go just so I can bring back what I cant buy over the web.
Zork I had a high level of interaction, and a lot of typing. Zork I was a really good educational game in my opinion.
Of course it had no graphics, as I beleive that it was the first text based adventure game from Infocom, who had the best language parser around. Way ahead of their time..

"I hate you guys." --Eric Cartman
In what episode did he actually say that? I only recall the "I Hate you Kenny." from the bigger, longer, uncut.
Personally, I have no problem checking out Kate Winslett naked in "Titantic" - it was probably the only good part of the movie for me.
You should check out Hideous Kinky and Holy Smoke They both have more nudity and are more interesting films.
