Hey now Turbo, that joke was too Taxing at this time of the day. You need to wait until the coffee Quickens the pulse of us techies. It's a good thing you put the second line there; there's no way I could have been able to Intuit that it was a joke. I guess that In a Relevant Sense it was sort of funny, but only to people who weren't "out of it".
Well, that just proves the old proverb... it takes money to make money!
. . And so the rich get richer and the poor get poorer, because the common man doesn't have enough resources to make good money. If he tries, the establishment puts him in jail. The cards are stacked against him.
I say we need to institute a government program to help the less fortunate make better money! There should be a new department - the "Office of Currency Conversion" - which will help the downtrodden of society maintain the same standards of money earn^H^H^H^H making that only the rich are able to achieve now!
When the U.S.A. became a nation, the dollar acquired the category of national currency. In those coins were engraved the Columns of Hercules, the symbol for the Spanish Empire, that ultimately were converted into the sign that epitomizes dollars and money everywhere: $

"Since three of the four names given above for the Spanish dollar start with p (and pluralize with s), it was natural for abbreviations like p and ps to be used. Sometimes ps was written
s as P -- P with a superscript s....Now, what happens if you write P with a superscript s *fast*...Naturally, you join the letters....Reduce the P to a single stroke and you have the form of the $ with a double vertical; omit it altogether and you get the single vertical."
Now that I think about it, I don't think I know of any. I happened to fall into PGP as an adjacent piece to the PKI Architecture that I do for a living, so it wasn't much of a stretch to apply what knowledge I have to PGP.
The PGP documentation is, in and of itself, somewhat helpful; Phil Zimmerman has the right idea when it comes to security in general, and PGP in particular.
I'll do some looking around; if I come across any, I'll let you know.
Incremental repeaters are already available. They must be low enough power to fall beneath the regulated power levels of the FCC, generally not more than 4-5 watts, I think.
aceteq.com has some good repeaters, even the 1900 mhz repeaters for US GSM for less than $800. Other systems can be $3000 or more, and can cover larger areas (I've seen some that were capable of 25,000 sq ft.)
So you would have to do a running line of small repeaters to get service to an area, similar to the 802.11 repeaters we've seen here. You might be able to convert it to line-of-sight and do it that way, too.
But the short of it is, it can be done, albeit somewhat expensively.
That said, even if your e-mail server doesn't send you the outage, that doesn't mean the e-mail actually got there. It could have been received by a secondary MX, not the primary one that delivers it.
At two of the companies I've worked, there has been a stated policy that email was not "reliable" as a communications mechanism and that the IT department made no guarantees about the usefulness or capability of email or other IP-based data exchanges. As one of my managers put it, "There's no SLA for the Internet."
One of the problems with the Internet has been, rather ironically, its overwhelming success. When most of our emails get to their destinations within a matter of seconds or minutes, it begets an unrealistic expectation that it will always be that way, especially for those who do not understand the fractured and codependent nature of the Internet.
Your solution to the problem - letting the user know an email couldn't be delivered in a short period of time, while still trying to deliver for the full timeout period - is probably the best one in this situation.
Indeed, PGPDisk seems to be the best solution in the short term.
PGP supports enforced corporate encryption key redundancy, allowing you to hold a master decryption key which will allow you to recover any file.
Better yet, that master key can be broken into parts and only be restored by a subset of keyholders (an m of n reconstitution) so that no one rogue person can act alone, it requires m people to recover the master key.
PGPDisk sets up a virtual partition on the hard disk, and is native to Wintel platforms, which would allow it to exist in your current environment.
You can also use x509 certificates if you want. And either x509 certs or the native PGP key format can be stored on a hardware token such as a Rainbow iKey, Dallas Semiconductor iButton, Smart Card (Schlumberger, GemPlus, Datakey, etc.), or other PKCS#11 hardware crypto token.
I'm fairly sure this will fit all your criteria if it is properly engineered. Poorly implemented security is worse than none at all.
I have done this sort of implementation before, and it's not incredibly complex once you know what you are doing. You would do well to hire a professional to take a few days to architect the solution for you.
Comparison of society attitudes to homosexual men and women. (sorry can't find a link for this one, but lesbian women are by far more discriminated against than gay men)
Sorry, I had to do a doubletake on that one. What do you mean, exactly? A friend of mine constantly remarks (and she's not alone in this by far) that she can't understand why girl-on-girl is so accepted in the porn industry, but not guy-on-guy. It seems more socially acceptable, somehow, for girls to be lesbian/bisexual than for guys to be gay.
Now admittedly, this is far from being scientific. What sorts of situations are you aware of that discriminate against lesbians?
Yeah, that's it... Boy, I didn't think it would be *that* obvious. I think I'll stick to French. I can at least BS my way through one word that way. Sheesh!:-)
Something can't be a record unless someone was there to record it for us! So if most of the things capable of recording it died, I'd say we've got ourselves no record of the old one, and a new record here with the new one.
I can't believe how naive these people are, thinking that there is anything secure in the digital world. Everything can, and will, be broken at some point.
I give them a month, tops, before the game (and the song) is copied, cracked, and shared extensively.
a photon passing through a beam splitter to takes two paths at once, inconceivable in the macroscopic world
Forgive me if I'm being dense, but don't all particles and waves travel all possible paths all the time? It was my understanding that when a photon travels from point A to point B it does so using every possible path until the waveform coalesces. This works for electrons as well, due to wave-particle duality. I think I disagree with the poster that this *does* actually happen in the macroscopic world all the time, but the waveforms coalesce so fast we never see anything "out of the ordinary".
I highly, highly recommend a gentleman named Vern who works for Hobson Associates. They're based in CT, but work outside of CT as well.
Be aware that he will make you go through a rigorous process to document your wants, needs, and goals before he will work with you; he values the relationships he has with his client firms *and* his recruits. So be prepared to work if you call him. Don't waste his time. But if you're honestly looking for a great recruiter who will work hard to put you in the right place, he's your man.
So the short answer is, yes Virginia, there is a Santa Claus. Good luck.
The problem with that logic is that most people put their trash on the "devil's strip", the piece of land which exists between the sidewalk and the road (I don't know why it's called that) or the road itself. Most municipalities ordinances declare that the sidewalk and devil's strip are the property of the municipality, even though the person whose property ajoins it is responsible for its care in many cases. (Cutting the grass, shoveling snow, etc.) In some areas there is a direct buffer between the road and the private property which is government-owned. So unless you're sure that it is on your private land, you may be putting it on "public" property.
If I'm not mistaken, this was actually instituted to make sure that the trash collectors were not taking trash from "private" property - some collectors will not take trash that is not placed in this public land at all.
But there are obviously other factors here which affected the state court's (proper) decision. Good show!

Or Opera's "load cached images only"?

I love this feature - I can load images selectively, and often will only load one or two images per page.
This is especially great with dialup, when you can save a bunch of time on graphic-intensive websites.
It even helps with my cable modem when some sites are

What I find saddest is that before Verisign bought Thawte, the Thawte certs were only $50/year.
:-)
The quality of the certs hasn't changed, only their owner.
Gotta hand it to Verisign for getting people to believe that a commodity like a digital certificate needs to cost so much.
It's similar to the DeBeers diamond market control, and it's incredibly lucrative. Wish I'd thought of it first.
Ewwww - that was YOU?!?!?!
Never let school get in the way of your education.
