Ihere may be a difference in hardware, but there's not much luck to it. I didn't buy "Winmodems" when I was running WfW 3.11 or Windows 95. Hell, I never bought an internal modem at all, but I had some given to me. I don't buy video cards, network cards, scanners, or anything else that requires some hidden binary junk code today. If there's some reason they don't put the firmware on the hardware, they'd better at least let me access it from whichever OS I choose if they want me to buy their product.
That laptop that works out of the box? It's a Dell. It's not some high-end, fancy Linux-designed laptop. It came with XP on it, but the hardware is nice, simple mainstream fare that is well-supported by both the manufacturer of the parts (Intel) and by the kernel developers and the distribution developers.
Sun and SGI have both done pretty well with their preinstalled Linux (and Solaris and Irix boxes, respectively). I'm hoping Oracle and Rackable systems continue what they started in that regard.
I always preferred setting up Postfix or Exim and Courier or tpop3d (with our without Perdition) to setting up Exchange. I guess it has to do with what you're used to and what you like. Sendmail is a bitch, though. I hate m4. As for webmail, Horde used to be painful to install, but I haven't tried lately (although I'm actually doing that later today AAMOF). JAOS.org's Perl webmail is pretty easy (thanks in small part to my contributions from around 2001), but I haven't used that in years.
Since I now do web (and some desktop) software development rather than being an admin at ISPs, I just sell my customers up on a CPanel/WHM hosting package on a managed VPS or host their email on Google Apps/GMail for domains. In the former case, the SMTP, IMAP, POP3, and webmail are all configured for me. There's no sense being beholden to a pager if I'm not getting paid to be a full time admin.
Eventually you'll either run out of men or time out twice, and in either case you're done playing.
Another great similar area on an NES game is found in Rygar. If you jump and move side-to-side enough times in a any of a few of the places on the overhead world view at places where the the map scrolls from one screen to the next, you can get up into the grassy area above the dugout pits. There's no invisible clipping wall around a couple of those grassy areas, and you can run off the screen until your sprite is out of the memory bounds of the map, and you're just running around on the different types of graphic tiles.
I read TFA and also TFA linked from TFA (original sources, anyone?). I'm left wondering whether this is a new Dell distro of Linux, a package bundle on top of Linux or Windows, a package list for something like Kickstart or another automated OS installer, or a consulting and integration lineup with a preferred set of software.
With Dell talking about wanting to be a services company as much as a box-pusher and specifically mentioning training and support in TOFA, it wouldn't surprise me if this was a consulting group within the company. It's worded as if it's just a selection of software pre-installed, though, like they already do with crap bloatware and trialware.
GSM is great in densely populated areas. It really sucks when you're not very close to a tower. There are large areas of the US that have excellent CDMA reception and very poor TDMA/GSM reception, since CDMA can cover fewer phones per tower over a wider area.
I hate to open this can of worms, but most Blackberries are a completely different market from the iPhone, even though they are both considered smartphones. Further, there's no reason to have CDMA in the iPhone so long as it's exclusive to AT&T, with AT&T using an all-GSM network.
It's pretty important to have different hardware when you're working with two different types of radio networks. Apple can't be on both CDMA networks and GSM networks with just the one phone. Companies with both GSM and CDMA phones can have phones on both types of networks.
You think civilian GPS indoors in a room full of sub-$1000 GPS-enabled devices that are primarily phones and have their phone radios on is accurate to within a meter. How cute.
I agree, but the employers in question may not. Also, there is actually something to be said for habit. How much a positive habit should matter I'm not sure, but it matters. One can change from blowing off classes daily to having stellar attendance in the office, but it's easier to keep up one's current habit.
Have a sign-in at the door with a camera. If your name isn't there, you didn't attend. If you sign two names and the guy next to you isn't in two full-arm casts, and you fail.
Our professors made their own attendance requirements and put them in the syllabus so the students would know them from the beginning of the semester.
Some classes really should have attendance required, like music ensembles and group lab classes in which others are depending on you. Some foreign language classes required a minimum number of listening lab hours, or even group speaking labs. I had writing classes in which attendance was necessary, despite all the writing assignments being solo projects. I also had philosophy and math classes in which it was optional, despite the discussion being important in philosophy and the examples being very helpful in mathematics.
So I guess size opens you to outside contributions against your will? So GM must allow you to make any car you want? Time Warner must allow you to make a feature film?ÂMonsanto has to make you seedless mangoes because you asked them to?
Worse yet, they aren't even CoS's toys. They're bitching because Wikimedia Foundation was sharing its toys, and will no longer share them with CoS because CoS was abusing the toys.
Most people weren't buying music online from mainstream music sites, and no other device maker ran a major label music store. People were buying music from MP3.com and ripping from CD -- totally non-DRMed music. Apple brought the convenience of a nice, integrated store at the expense of tying it to a particular device and having DRM.There are pros and cons to what you get with iTunes, but don't pretend all music was DRMed before Steve.
Was it your kid that was putting his hands in the garbage can then playing with the drink lids at Roly Poly, then stepping on my suede shoes? DCFS would still be happy to find that kid a new home, I'm sure. Sure, you have to accept some acting up and rebelliousness, but you can't just let the kids do whatever they want without limits.
Lots of the ADD over-referrals are because little girls sit still more readily than little boys, and we have lots of female primary school teachers. "Boys will be boys" is replaced with "ADD is much more prevalent in males". The over-referrals be damned, though, the doctors shouldn't drug up every kid referred to them regardless of actual diagnostics.
Noticed? A good firewall that is updated regularly by a traffic analyzer should have a rule set to drop or deny the retransmissions after the first few. I guess we could have a philosophical debate about whether running code "notices" something when it matches a pattern and crosses a threshold to trigger a rule. "Notice" to me usually connotes sentience, or at least animal consciousness.
Just wait... If they ever get all your apps "in the cloud" then the net neutrality debate won't be what data you can get at full speed. It'll be which ISP works with your app server, and for how much.
That'll help if you're Wanted Dead or Alive, and maybe if there are Desperados Under the Eaves. You'll want silver bullets for trouble with those Werewolves of London, though.

That's funny, because even so minor a distro as Puppy works with my wireless immediately upon installation.

The habit of attendance is probably of interest to the cubicle farm to which the graduate applies.

I can see it now: a backpack full of iPhones for some poor kid to make a living while he's going to school.

Looking like an idiot doesn't make you a Hubbardite, even if being a Hubbardite makes you look like an idiot.

What, you want your medical insurance to buy the PS3?

Some of those industries already use text-only serial terminals.
