There are a few good reasons people do get an MCSE:
1. Pay is generally increased
2. Easy to do, if you know your stuff.
3. Resume fluff.
4. In a crappy economy, if you don't have one, the person who does, gets the job:-(
nobody tells the "truth" when spilling the beans, only lies which have been set up to be verifiable. (think of all the "truths" you tell your girlfiend/boyfriend...)
It is matter of how much they are willing to pay. To have the opportunity to get a nice "straight down" angle, you gotta pay the big bucks. If the satellite is passing over Guatemala, then it is cheaper.
one problem with tarball or gzip or whatever, if it is corrupted in transfer, you just lost everything in the tarball (1000 files?), instead of maybe one file.
hard drives fail far to often... tapes break... cd-r/cd-rw only good for a few years... Linus is right, have others mirror it for you.
me, i keep it on a website, which is not on my machine:-) (not much data though, just a few pictures)
I was always under the impression that nobody "ultimately" owned the internet. If the U.S. government did, don't you think there would be a specific 'Federal Internet Tax?'
Last I checked, there is no 'FIT.'
Does the U.S. government get tax dollars for every individual who is connected to the net? Does the gov't get tax dollars for every country that has the "privelage of peerig with us."
No.
Besides, where is the internet? It must have a physical location if the gov't owns it. And since our computers are attached to the net, than doesn't the gov't own those too, in a sense? If so, then don't keep anything illegal on that puppy, cuz they can take it whenever they want.
If the gov't owns the idea or whatever, than do they own the ideas that are expressed on the net?
Does that mean they can regulate all that is expressed on the net?
...the U.S. government is getting involved in situations that should be beyond their control. How is it that a U.S. court gets to overide a internationally accepted organization whose purpose is to provide continuity. Especially in regards to the internet, a medium in which borders do not really apply very well.
Any wonder why the international community looks at us (Americans) as a bunch of rich bullies?
There is only one really good/important reason to want it.
Expand the number of potential desktop users of Linux.
If MS Office is available, that is one less "hurdle" for Linux to overcome to become a widely accepted standard (in terms of the general uninformed public).
The goal should be to have at least three choices without hindering anyones compatability:
Ok, they can get severed optic nerves back together, and working, that have been cut with a laser scalpel or some such thing. What if they are fixing naturally degraded optic nerves where there is not enough length (damn cat5 cable is just too short...) left? Is there a way of extending the nerves? Are we talking about splicing in "new" nerves that were "grown" in a lab or something else?
"This award is a conditional award, subject to successful negotiation of an agreement and State Purchases Review Committee approval. The Department will now enter into negotiations with Apple Computer, Inc. in order to finalize the terms and conditions of the agreement for the State?s Wireless Classroom Solution. If negotiations are unsuccessful, the Department may enter into negotiations with the next highest scoring bidder."
And who is the next highest scoring bidder? Dell? Are they/he still aggressively going after school contracts?
That is only true for stand alone style missiles, and even those will scan for a target until they run ouf of fuel. It also dependent on the tracking mechanism, is it thermal, radar etc.
Newer equipment communicates with the launcher to give updates on co-ordinates as it goes in, as well as after you "dodge" it...
Basing reality on a computer game is not such a good idea. Especially in a technology based arena.
REDMOND, Wash., Nov. 20, 2001 - Young wizard Harry Potter may have worked box office magic over the weekend, but his potion of profitability actually was trumped by the powerful new NINTENDO GAMECUBE video game system. Movie industry sources put ticket receipts for the three-day opening weekend of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone at $93.5 million. But combined U.S. retail revenues for NINTENDO GAMECUBE (including hardware systems, games and accessories) reached more than $98 million in just its first single day of availability on Sunday, November 18.
Nokia had a cell phone (8890?) on the market with a sliding front face. It didn't last very long before breaking. Nokia no longer makes/sells that phone. It left the market in about a year.
Hopefully this device has a better mechanism than that.

"real computers" this is not.
would you consider the average AOL user "on the internet?"
me neither...
this is so old I don't think that applies.
according to Microsoft this was realized March 29, 2001.
No mention of Q3A???
Actually, quite lacking in FPS's...

...that Microsoft gets $5 billion in "preferred securities as part of the deal?"
I guess that is better than AOL Time Warner buying AT&T Broadband.
*sigh*
umm, yeah.

Instead of worrying about where we can't play these new cd's in, why not support MP3.com??
;-)
Or, if that is no good, why not hack into them, steal there stuff and ditribute it??
It is matter of how much they are willing to pay. To have the opportunity to get a nice "straight down" angle, you gotta pay the big bucks. If the satellite is passing over Guatemala, then it is cheaper.
What are the chances of the conventional ball bearing fans, in the very computers that are doing all the mathematical modeling, will go on strike??
Self-preservation is quite a motivator.

Still a very cool development!
Who here is using a machine that they will be using in/beyond the year 2039?
Near as i can tell, people are no longer inputting data with punchcards (38 yrs ago), so why should a x86 PC still be in use (38 years from now)?
"loss of freedom of choice and control?"
Your car has an automatic transmission and you are complaining about a lack of choice/freedom??
Why is there a need for two different versions, one with SMP support, and one without? Shouldn't that be a install option?
