It makes you wonder if that for the states that don't want any involvement in the SST Project, whether they care that they are losing tax money for purchases in their state (regardless of how its collected). I would think that the money that states collect via the standard sales tax, goes quite a long way for the benefit of the state, and when you consider the fact that the number of people purchasing online is growing with each year, thats money being lost (or not collected I should say)... what does it take?
I'm certainly not complaining about not paying the tax, but you would think the states would CARE about losing that money..
To counter your good experience in Mexico, I had a friend who got hurt in Cancun Mexico this past summer. He got a couple of cheap stitches to stop the bleeding, and a shot of some pain-killer (that he said didn't work anyway) for $450 CASH. He got told that for $25 more, he can be assured he got a clean needle for the shot.
Real care? I dunno, guess its a matter of opinion, but I like to know that if I'm getting a shot, I'm getting a clean needle...
My opinion for what its worth is that you'll have a hard time meeting all those requirements perfectly in one product. You usually have to do a trade-off because some systems are more scalable, but may not provide great webmail, while others may not manage free accounts as well as others but might have a great webmail interface. I think you have to get some real requirements as to what are the most important requirements for the email system, and meet them instead of looking for the perfect product, I doubt that you'll find it...
It'll be interesting to read the exact wording on this bill since the article isn't real specific. I mean, Antivirus software is software that runs on a PC and spies on what someone is doing, although the AV software is there to help instead of hinder. Granted, the user installs it, but it receives updates via the internet.....
a time when many companies and home users are least prepared to deal with the problems.
Looks like I know what i'll be doing over the Xmas holiday. If not fixing the problem at work if it becomes a problem, but fixing the problem with my family as well.
But I guess this is only a problem if some genius releases a virus containing the exploit....
The article states: And the researchers suspect the shape of the crater may encourage the development of dust devils or other wind patterns that could help scrub the panels.
The tornado like winds that can be caused by dust devils is something that was discussed by NASA back in April and surely seems like the real answer:
And if she knew she was being filmed (which she did), she should realize that there is the potential that the film would be released to the world. Anybody that takes the time to film themselves (espcecially doing this), must understand the potential reprecussions of doing that.... look at the hollywood stars like Pam Anderson/Tommy Lee and Paris Hilton... same thing happened to them..
exactly, he's charged with "conspiracy and interstate transportation of stolen property" according to the article, which seems to fit the crime... he used another employees access code which warrants theft....... maybe we're missing something???
In this case its looked upon as being something that can benefit burn victims and people with severe disfigurement, but how long until it starts getting done, just because... well, "I don't like my forehead"...
He may not know jack shit about hosting a website, but someone in his campaign had to have ordered this and he didn't disapprove of it, or are you recommending that the top of the chain (Bush) doesn't communicate with the bottom of the chain.
If this is truly the case, thats no way to run a re-election campaign, nor a country, especially a powerful country like the US.
I don't necessarily agree that he is a sellout. He did what was required to stay on the air and keep his $100 million a year paycheck.
The way that censorship is cutting away at his radio empire, what other choice does he have? Satellite radio will become the cable TV of radio, I think everyone knows that, and Stern made the move at the right time.
I guess being a maggot farmer (#72) has its advantages over an IT manager, if the maggot pisses you off, just step on it, there'll be millions more to replace it. Obviously thats not the case with good IT people I guess.. (although I know some i'd like to step on).
The guy who sits next to me (of course a caffeine junky) enjoys building soda can pyramids on his desk. He's recently been getting better at building higher and higher pyramids, but the other folks around me find it increasingly funny when the pyramid finally comes tumbling down... only bad part about the big tumble is the month old remains of soda in the bottom of the cans being splattered all over the place.
The best part is when he begins a new pyramid, he always starts with a loud sigh.... its quite amusing.
I think that is where the private sector is acting like cowboys. Take a look at the failed attempts to get to Mars (both to orbit and to land). These were all done by governments spending billions of dollars and having (or at least saying) that they have the best scientists in the world.
These types of failures to get to Mars in the past prove that its hard to prepare for the unknown, and getting to Mars (private or not), WILL have a lot of unknown.
absolutely, and until Uncle Sam starts taxing me because of my friends, they don't have the right to tell me who my firends are and what the definition of a friend is.
In our shop, our upper management are the worst offenders. We have a COO that demands his laptop be built to auto login to everything. He doesn't want to remember passwords. The few passwords he has to remember are like 1234 or ABCD.
Since senior management doesn't care, what makes them think that employees lower than them should?
This same COO had his email account hacked because of a poor password and blamed IT for not having enough controls in place.
Its so obvious that this is part of Microsofts business model, i'm surprised more people aren't taking the hint. How much money and aggravation can Microsoft squeeze out of people before they get it?

Say I get on this plan, and my rate goes through the roof because I either drive too much, too fast, too far, or whatever criteria they use.. when I switch back to the flat rate plan, I absolutely guarantee they will use my own 'data' against me in determining my flat rate plan when I switch back.
Where does using this data stop.. and in the end, would I really be saving money or stamping myself as a high risk driver for life?
It appears the good ole' US government is soon going to require us to carry 'airline licenses', just like drivers licenses... maybe that would keep them from making incompetent mistakes like this!
I've had DSL for 3 years and mine has gone from sufficient to insufficient. I know for a fact that our local telco over-provisions the available capacity, assuming that not everyone is going to be on at the same time. Thats just plain wrong... years ago that may have been true and an acceptable way to provision service, but not now.
Our telco even changed their terminology to be "achieve speeds up to 1.5MB".. I've measured mine, and its nowhere near that..
Chief among the strengths of the African continent, says Rive, is the fact that English is really strong. "It is a different accent, but it is well understood.
Maybe now we can understand the person on the other side of the phone........
Maybe now since the number of channels has come to a plateau, so will the cost of cable. The price to keep all 100+ channels on my dial (most of which I never watch) has gone up 45% in the last 2 years, and theres still nothing on...

A real coincidence is that even with Gibbs, they still can't win
