True organization can only be had with extreme discipline:) That being said... Maximum PC had a two page dealy on getting a tackle box for your PC needs. It's been working great for me. At the office and at home, I tend to be a bit of a maniac when it comes having things in their place, so here is what I can pass on: 1. Don't loose items sitting out. Just put them away in a place that makes sense. Categorize and place-- even if it means the broadest category ever. At least you'll remember where you put it ("Oh yeah, I put that with the other unrelated thing because I figured..."). 2. Don't let other people touch your stuff. Plain and simple. Get pissed and let them know it's your territory. You didn't spend all of that time organizing to have someone else crap it all up. 3. Buy a couple of cheap plastic file cabinets. The ones that you see at Target are great for this stuff. Use them for parts, parts and more parts! 4. Keep stuff. I use the spindles that CD-R's come on and label them according to their category (OS, UTIL, GAMES). 5. Visit your hardware store. Any gearhead will find a ton of great ways to organize tools, screws, etc. I personally love the vitamin organizer jobbies that you can keep smaller screws, shunts, etc. in.
The site specifically says after the 3rd in the trilogy. It also says that the Wachowskis are doing the story line. I don't agree the the third movie 'ended' the series either. without getting into it, there's much that was left unsaid other than that which was implied.
Diets don't work without exercise. Plain and simple. There's really nothing else to be said about it. Man was not meant to be stationary as much as we are. We're animals and we need to run, lift, swim, etc. to stay healthy. The problem with most people is that they're lazy and undisciplined. Others complain that they don't have enough time. Who can't spare 20 minutes a day for a jog? Seriously... I saw another post about not eating until you're stuffed which is dead on. I recall a teaching (ancient Chinese proverb?) that goes something like, "80 percent of what you eat feeds yourself and the other 20 percent feeds the doctor." If you must eat fatty foods, have them in the morning when you're metabolism is working overtime. Stay away from sugar (I know, I know...) and drink plent of water. Vitamins too. Most importantly, find something that you enjoy. It's really not that hard.
Why not just stick with the old punch-card method? I'm wondering if all of those dangling/hanging chads were caused by equipment that had seen better days. Think about how many years those machines served us well. No one here is a stranger to the fact that equipment wears out and gets old. On the other hand, the voter also has a responsibility to make sure that the card is punched to the best of their ability. If your choice isn't legible and it's by no fault of the machine (noted by the individual at that moment) that vote should be discounted. With touch screens, you're just complicating it. That just my opinion though...
My girlfriend has the password to her sister's Yahoo! account and occasionally reads her e-mail. Without discussing what that's all about, she found out that her sister responded to a piece of spam about inventions. It was pretty funny actually reading the response. It went something like this: "I have an invention that I'd like to have manufactured, but I've had problems with other companies before. What is your relationship with the BBB?" Who are these people? Dumbasses. The problem with these dumbasses is that they hurt all of us because they keep spammers in business. Sadly, I'm not able to discuss any of this dumbassedness with her sister...
SUS is great in theory, but its drawbacks are its system requirements and cost. They require a pretty heavy box to run it, and Microsoft recommends that you do not run it on a machine that shares another function (DNS, ISA server, etc.) so they're basically bilching another server license fee out of you. They're not charging you for SUS, I know, but c'mon man...
We just received our Office 2003 discs yesterday. I installed Outlook 2003 because the vertical-side-panel-snap-together-do-hicky is pretty sweet. If you use the e-mail DRM service(straight from the dialog box): - You need a.NET Passport. - Your documents won't be sent to or stored by Microsoft. - If Microsoft decides to end the trial, you can access the restricted documents and e-mail for at least three months, as long your.NET Passport is active. - Microsoft won't decrypt contect protected by the service unless a court order requires it. I read something about being able to use DRM within an organization, but that it required running some sort of IRM server. Don't know anything else beyond that though.
Who the hell is this guy? I've worked in the IT industry for about five years now. I've met all kinds of people who worked with many different kinds of operating systems. Programmers, sysadmins, netadmins, whatever... All of the open source gurus that I've encountered (every single one of them) have been respectful of other OS's. Not one of them is a huge M$ fan, but I believe that it's more because of M$'s business practice than anything else. With the exception of one BIND admin, these are very friendly people who are willing to teach those who are willing to listen, not shove their OS preference down the throats of others. Who the hell are these zealots, Mr. Enderle? What world are you living in? If there really are Linux Terrorists, I doubt that there would be anything to really worry about because an open source bomb should be fairly easy to disable:) P-SHAW to you, Mr. Enderle. Dink.
to have something that integrated with current technology and offered the same benefits? I find it hard to justify spending 70 bucks on a piece of equipment that's basically useless unless everyone else goes out and spends 70 bucks on a piece of equipment. Another thing to think about is that some of these technologies have been around for a while. You've been able to chat over AIM (while the sound quality isn't going to knock your socks off) for years now, but it hasn't taken hold as much as you think it would have.
The specs for SUS are outrageous (it's why we haven't even thought about implementing it) and M$ recommends against running it on a server that has another function so I'm of the opinion that you're dead on, no charge for SUS, but you have to purchase another server license...
After the 'I wish they would just be quiet' quote:
"It would be best for the world. That's not going to happen, so we have to work in the right fashion with these security researchers."
You've got to be kidding me?!?! If its this sort of attitude that is shared among everyone else from M$, it would probably be best for the world to be fearful. The fact that this isn't a very professional approach to the situation is the least of their problems.
You can usually visit your local Borders or Barnes and Noble, pick a book that you'd like to read and sit in the cafe. They don't mind as long as you're drinking coffee.
DRM aside, what about BIOS-infecting version of Blaster/Welchia/Nimda? Isn't this a job for the DOJ or have they been in bed with M$ too long? Yes, I'm bashing M$. While their extremely user-friendly and have come a very long way at securing their OS, they've got so far to go that it's scary. I don't think that owning the BIOS should be one of their concerns at the moment.
With technologies such as quantum computing down the road, I couldn't possibly envision a future where this isn't a possibility. There was a short on NPR that explained it the best: Imagine looking for a person when only knowing their phone number. Today we look through the phonebook one name at a time, but with quantum computing, we'd look at the entire phonebook at once.
I've also heard that rats have a life span of around two to three years. When I heard that they were affectionate as well as intelligent, I wanted one as a pet, but their short life span deterred me as it would kinda suck to get attached to an animal and not have that much time with it. That, and the fact that the cat keeps laughing at me every time that I bring it up...
It's actually not such a bad idea as long as the story is good... I didn't really care for the characters in FFX. They were too cliche, standard, etc. I ended up not finishing the game because of them. IMO, Wakka was the closest thing to an original character, but still lacking. Anyway, I guess I was saying that I wouldn't mind seeing sequels of FF installments that rocked.
While I don't have anything against skin, it's much better on a REAL chick. I remember when the FF series was all about the story and not so much about short shorts, small shirts-- and that's what this looks like. TNA in games is cool as long is it isn't in your face and part of every scene or character, but I guess that's just one guys' opinion... I hope that this isn't the direction that the next FF installment is going in.

Clippy: It looks like your using Windows for the first time!
GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!
Windows 2000 - Version 5.0
:)
Windows XP - Version 5.1
Longhorn - Version 6.0
So it looks like Longhorn is actually a full version up. Not that I truly understand what any of that means. Anyone have a changelog?
