Put it in a trailer that can be pulled by a large rig. This will give you much more space and better heating/cooling options.
A school bus is made to commute students, not sit around w/them working in it. Your eqipment would kill most of your available space. (Not just computers- but power, a.c., all that good stuff)
Not to mention- what do you do when the bus breaks down? Let it sit until you can drop a new engine or tranny in it?
Much better to hitch the trailer to a new truck and keep rolling.
These are just a few of what to seem to be the more obvious reasons why a bus would be a poor choice.
"Germany has one of the lowest rates of violent crime in the world."
You must be making this statement within a very narrow context.
You must be setting very specific parameters for timespan and how you define violent crime. And even if your parameters are not objectionable I question that there are any actual facts to support this assertion.
And just broaden your time frame a bit and the whole thing is laughable.
Too bad you can't blame the holocaust on video games
"Today's action by the Rada in rejecting legislation supported by President Kuchma and the world trading community will have dramatic implications on Ukrainian society at every level--economic, political and cultural."
They say that they "applaud the sanctions with heavy hearts".
Lives for greed. So that millionaires can become multimillionaires. It makes me ill.
Even if you have transferable credits already, and can test out of classes- you will still probably have to do more than a year.
Most accredited universities will mandate that a certain percentage of your work be done through them in order for them to give you a degree.
This makes sense on 2 levels. You can't take one class somewhere and say you have a degree from that school and they make some money off you.
The only 1 year programs I am aware of to get a technical degree will only give you a degree in I.T. and require that you have another Bachelors prior to entering the program.
As has been posted, there are way to many prerequisites and classes that cannot be taken concurrently to earn a bachelors from start to finish in one year.
I thought it was interesting to Symbol in there. I have used some of their bar scanning equipment when I used to work retail. Very handy stuff. They are used to doing wireless stuff on lans inside of stores/warehouses, etc.
This could be real handy for a small business owner to use that scanning capability. Shoot, you could build a cash register that you carry around in your hand. Lot's of possibilities there.
Exactly! That's the first thing I thought when I saw it, "It's that Denny's thing".
When you build something w/Legos it often looks like what you are trying to build.
When you build something w/these things you kind of have to let your eyes go out of focus to figure out what it is. Sort of like those 3d posters that were all the rage a bit back.
The ineffectiveness of the laws, the stripping of constitutionally gauranteed freedoms. It is all the same.
If you are(were) for gun control- now you are feeling what it is like to be on the other side.
Want to write a good article on why losing civil rights wont help fight terrorists? Pick up just about any issue of an NRA publication.
I'll be written off as a gun nut-- but I tell you everything I read here, I have read before. They have squashed our constitutional right to carry when and where we want. Most of you stood idley by. Now they are moving on to another arena. Don't be surprised when most of America turns a deaf ear to your arguments- or brands you as radical nuts.
So what has changed in the last few thousand years?
You can lead a horse to water but you can't make him drink.
You can try to keep genius down, but you wont.
Improve public education all you want- the bell curve will always be there with a few at both ends. And the big middle has never been that smart, never will be.
I appreciate the feedback as I've been curious about this.
I guess I don't notice the problems for a couple of reasons.
A lot of the work I do is disposable. I can build my apps FAST with VB. Which is good. I have litte time to build them and in a couple of weeks they are gone.
And I guess the work I do (GUI front end/SQL Server back end) works real well w/VB.
I work w/C++ and java and I do really enjoy that work (at least partly because I do that on my own and work on what I want). But I've been curious as to why the big knocks on VB.
MS aside- why the animosity for VB. I see it all the time, but I never see any reasons. I work with VB every day. I don't understand why it is held in such great contempt.
As this thought line extends I am pretty comfortable with Free Will that exists w/out randomness in our universe. But that shifts the whole topic.
I'm often a little lost in the math, science area- but my first undergrad degree is in theology. So as we leave the 'facts' further behind I don't get too worried.
I believe in free will, I do wish though that people in general would give less credence to chance, and look for the reasons things happen.
I probably wont post to this thread again-- thanks platypus! I have very much appreciated your posts.
"Give me the state/position of all particles in the universe at one time and I can calculate the state/position at any time in the future or past."
I am really going to mull this over as I have always thought of this whole thing in the context of individual events. Taking it to a wider context gives it a whole different flavor.
It's fundamentelly impossible to predict...
But will it always be impossible? Or do we just think it is impossible because we lack information and understanding?
(This may be the first time I've gotten real value out of the comments portion of slash dot- I apprectiate your informative posts)
Well, I have no idea what deterministical chaos is so I can't really respond to you other than to explain myself.
I have yet to encounter a situation where cause and effect does not come into play. And if the nature of the cause is known and understood- the outcome is completely predictable.
So far the kind of things that I have seen people call random, are merely events where they do not pervieve the cause with much clarity. i.e. flipping a coin.
Seeing this post made me so very happy. I have been trying to explain that nothing is random to others for some time now. People look at me as if I am a little off.
Randomness is the 'god' of the scientific age. We have simply moved from "God did not create the universe- Random did."
People think that randomness is this impersonal force that makes things happen for no reason at all.
What it really is, is an explanation when the factors involved in the outcome are too complicated to grasp.
This is the way people are. Calling for a change is really somewhat useless. You reach millions of people and give them an opportunity to post anonymously with no chance of direct confrontation. (Drop 'Casablanca' in a conference room at HP with real people right in front of them- you wont get that nonsense) And you get stuff like that.
But the positives outway the negatives so I think that the smart focus is on ways to minimize the impact these people have.
Yesterday someone complained about all the "FP" posts. The reply was to set filters higher. Now that really made sense. Let the kids play FP games, mod them down and let others read what matters.
You can't get rid of the lowest common denominator- so find ways to get around them.
"Many companies have a very hard time attracting and maintaining competent technical staff"
Yes- but if you want to do business, you have to pay the price. The allure of the easy, cheap fix will always draw a crowd. People are suckered in by their greed. And then that great group wails when their lack of foresight comes home to roost.
If you can't find someone qualified, train someone.

'As soon as a few lawsuits are filed, things will change for the better'
Are you high?
We have got to be one of the most litigious cultures to ever exist on this planet- and has it made anything better? I truly think not.
The RIAA knows. From their statement-
"Today's action by the Rada in rejecting legislation supported by President Kuchma and the world trading community will have dramatic implications on Ukrainian society at every level--economic, political and cultural."
They say that they "applaud the sanctions with heavy hearts".

From what I have read this will just be another 6 week delaying action that works in Microsoft's favor.
Why can't the courts decide upon a course of action and take it?
Exactly! That's the first thing I thought when I saw it, "It's that Denny's thing".

This has to be one of the most sane things that I have read here in a very long time.
A very simple concept- that it is why it would probably be incredibly effective.

Anyone who lets someone else keep their data is nuts. Anyone who lets someone who runs a free website keep their data deserves to lose it.
Anyone who cries when a free website is changed and they are not notified is an idiot
