the point for saying so was - people on those frequencies will still continue to use CW and everyone else will not be able to read/understand unless they learn morse anyway!
I should postfix this with what I meant to say was that the people who don't have morse skills will be missing out on a large part of the communications that goes on in the HF bands. Learn morse so you can actually use some of the limited bandwidth and get further DX- HF isn't pointless without morse, but it sure is more interesting.

Your sarcasm wasn't spelled out for me. Furthermore, I'm filing a lawsuit for intentionally causing me confusion and emotional distress while trying to figure out if your post was insulting me or not.
I've seen this same thing and I'm sure it exists at nearly every university- but the more I think about it- if kids know how to modify the code enough to make it different, but do the same, perhaps they're learning something anyway? (not that I encourage plagiarism in the least- but it takes some level of skill to successfully mask plagiarism in programming)
RE: dependency hell- it seems to be a theme of fedora to add some obscure feature to a package that requires some obscure library, which depends on half a dozen others, each of which depends on several others, and so on.. The problem isn't RPM so much as it is the fedora mentality. While I like some of the more simplistic distrobutions that don't have the bigger is better mentality, there's something to having nearly every package imagineable already compiled for you. In a job where time is money, wasting time trying to get stuff to build is not in the cards. Ultimately I'm willing to trade that ease for having smaller installations- but there are some things where you want to uninstall some seemingly worthless package and find out that 90% of the system depends on it and no matter how hard you think, you can't make sense of why it is required at all- and that's because some core library depends on it for some obscure feature. I grew up on Slackware, and worked corporate on RedHat/Fedora, and there are advantages to both. Ideally, if I had the time, I'd compile and tweak everything and make things without all of the obscure features, but it is ultimately nice just to have things work without the fuss. Bottom line- dpkg/rpm each have their advantages, but dependency hell isn't an rpm problem (at least not anymore) but is a mindset issue.
most modern motherboards leave power to much of the system- (ever notice your NIC card still lights up- and thats not from power over ethernet) and how things like Wake-on-Lan, Wake-on-ring, etc work- and how your keyboard can unsuspend the system.
In any case- -never- replace cards or work on your system without the power unplugged or the hard-power switch on the back off if you have one. You may get lucky a few times, if you're really handy at getting all the pins lined up in the socket before you put it in- but sooner or later you'll short something or surprise a circuit and you'll be unhappy.
I've got a modern RCA 32V220T (or something like that) 32" xbox-link ready CRT tv- anyway- you push the power button and the tube stays blank for at least 6 seconds, and a relay or something inside clicks a few times- sometimes it tries to show up and clicks and goes black, and does that maybe twice before actually showing the picture. If it has been used recently, it clicks once and the picture shows up in about 3 seconds.
IMHO, my TV is defective and really sucks... never buy one- we replaced one due to a discoloration that appears on white screens, and decided it wasn't worth paying the best buy idjits to haul the stupid thing away a second time (yes, they charged me to haul a defective TV) when it showed the same blue and yellow problem. (bright white over the affected areas produces yellow on the right and blue on the left). I've been told this is a grille problem, that as it heats up, it bends and the wrong colors show up. Anyway- that's all unrelated- my point is, my tv is hardly instant.
You know, that's an interesting question. What if you do work that uses all or nearly all of the CPU and you litterally lose money if it takes longer. Could you then sue for lost revenue?
I was in charge of fixing about a dozen compaq iPaq 3650's from quite a few years ago- and I'm fairly certain they had a lithium polymer battery (it was a little squishy, flexible pack (don't bend it intentionally though)- all 10 of these units wouldn't hold a charge and wouldn't charge up. They were used heavily, but recharged a little too often some of the time and not often enough the rest of the time. Some of them started to have the charge problems then, so they were taken out of service and after about 6 months of sitting around idle the rest plunked out too. So, I bought 10 new batteries online and fixed them all- which worked for about 2 weeks and then they died as well. I'm left with the conclusion that perhaps theres a charging circuit problem.
In any case, LiPolymer is not new, as has been said- and predates the ipod by at least a couple years.. and at least with this one product, battery life does suck.
traffic shaping still isn't a breeze to setup under linux and keep in mind in many windows-centric environments, people just don't have the linux experience.
Are you speaking from experience on both fronts? (honest question) Is the vista shaping that difficult?
Linux is great for many things and many people, but sometimes the simpler solution works for a lot of people.
enterprise customers, probably, but what about the small business?
Sure, traffic shaping is nothing new, but it's new to windows- which, believe it or not, people actually use. If this can reduce infrastructure costs, even by getting rid of one box, then it's progress.

But have a dental x-ray running in your room for a couple years and you might have a problem.
Not that LiveJournal did either, but they had it before MySpace existed.

should you have to?
I'm a linux fan, don't get me wrong- but if you can save yourself a box or two, why not use the vista shaper?
To me that only says they don't talk about it to eachother- it doesn't say they don't report it to payroll?
people still clock in don't they? just whenever they want?
very interesting, but have you seen any Austin Powers lately?
