Hmm... So its somewhat safe to take off my tinfoil hat and comeout of my bunker? Or should I put on my life jacket now? Or maybe I should just get back to work cause this water isn't there, and was on mars.....
I went to DePaul University in Chicago. It is an urban school with a focus on liberal arts. I graduated from the school of CTI (computer science, telecommunications, & information systems) with a major in Computer Networking Technologies, and a minor International Political Science.
CTI graduates the most students in the nation in the computers field, and is fairly well respected in the local IT industry.

What Distribution are you (anyone answer) for your linux choice. I have had problems with mythknoppix and fedora core 1. Anyone have something that works well for newer technologies? Gentoo anyone?
how does apt-get work for you? do you use it, or do you build all of the dependicies?
I think the card is great and has a ton of functionability. But when the time came for me to buy a PVR card, I had to skip on this one in favor of the hauppauge wintv pvr 350 PCI card and a seperate video card solution.
I had to do this dasterdly deed due to the current state of linux driver support (ie lacking). Is anyone developing drivers for this or is ATI creating a too fast of moving target. Does anyone have any alternative solutions?
If I recall the laws in delaware really will favor RH in this case. Of course this is the reason why all your credit agencies and credit cards come from deleware as well.
Call in a professional, and check to see if union workers are required for your building. I knew a guy who got his electrical liscense just so that he could plug in a server into the wall. It was union work only. You said you are on a tight budget, pay for the service anyway. They will get the job done quicker than you (and probably pay for themselves in downtime), and have insurance (you checked to see if they had insurance, right?) if something were to go wrong.
Here is how I see it, there is a lot of push from AOL-TW executives to turn this product, with a large user base, into a real cashcow. The only way that it is doable is by pushing the product into the corporate areana. The AOL-TW execs would like to push all of the infrastructure and software completely into a corporation, same as a mail system (like exchange server, and outlook on the desk). Many businesses were reluctant because it didn't offer the very basics of security. While general users don't care about this, try selling this to a CIO who has had security pounded into their head over the last two years. What question is he/she going to ask, "Would you mind telling me about security for your product?" So when they give this out to you, the public... it's just a mass test, so they can start doing corporate sales. Just my thoughts....

Three inch combustion chamber to 1 and 1/2 inch barrel seemed great. The issue becomes you have a excessive build up of PSI that risks damage to the gun, and then to you.

I have been building potato guns for about 7 years now. I find it hard to believe its just now coming into its own as a fad.
When I first started building it was a bit tricky but I found that the perfect combustion chamber to barrel ratio was about 2:1. Now the brilliant thing about that was that it could be halved, or doubled, depending on what you were doing. By having a barrel that was 1 inch, you can fire marshmallows out the gun at your friends leaving nice welts.
Also, to step up the power just a little bit use carburetor cleaner as opposed to hairspray... its a bit louder too.
Do not use ABS plastic though (its the black piping), it doesn't have the necessary strength in PSI to support the combustion. You don't want to have an automatic shrapnel device instead of a potato gun. Only use PVC, its much safer.
This is a case with possibly extremely dangerous outcomes. The scary thing is that a wiretap may only have the possiblility of being picked up, but what makes the email dangerous is the fact that there is a minimum two copies of it still floating on the internet, One on your server (depending on how you set up your server), and one on the opposite server (that you cant even control). While that alone might be scary enough, there are still the possiblities of old emails being stored on tapeback up for recovery purposes and who knows where they will be forwarded to. Further complicating this would be the fact that this wiretap access may be retrived on any of the affected servers with feds trying to pressure anyone to releasing the documents "voluntarily". Hope for the best in this, but prepare for the worst
This goes with the same old balance theorey. For every person building, there is an equal and opposing balancing force in the destruction of code. The question here, is which is the person building, and which is the one destructing?
I wonder if there would be any way that I could patent my invention of scrubbing Carbon Dioxide out of the human body through resperation, replacing it with oxygen?
God never patented it, so I should have rights to it instead...
If I remember correctly, microsoft has played this game illegally before with alleged grass roots campaigns (having people who dont even exist sending letters to their representatives), fixed online polls to sway public opinion (zdnet), and squashed competition and innovation to make the almighty dollar.
Somehow i fail to belive that those 7000 letters are from real people and just another fabrication from microsoft.
As a former employee of a corporate law firm (I am not a lawyer), I have found it greatly distressing the fact that Big Business has determined that litigation is now a formalized method of seizing and controlling market share.
The age-old business principals dictate that if a cost of a service will earn back cost of the service in long-term revenue, then it is wise to invest in this strategy.
Retaining legal counsel, or lawsuits against startups that are praying to make it to the stage of IPO are now effective means of controlling the market. Furthermore, they know they can bleed them dry by cutting into R&D budget by paying for legal fees. Its far more effective, and one would not expect an illegal attempt to monopolize a free market through legal maneuverings. Sad really.
The thoughts that it will be cheaper for the business will come at the cost of the society. Legal fees for Carter Phillips (Microsoft's legal counsel) were $600 an hour (according to Business Weeks October 9 2000 issue). I'm not saying that lawyers such as these shouldn't exist, but using them to monopolize a market is wrong. How can any startup compete with that, or even with the lawyers that bill up to 1500 an hour?
The other issue within the cost part is the detriment on society.. greater taxes due to judges, court systems, loggings, dockets, first hearings, second hearings.. blah blah blah blah blah don't even matter until the third appeal, because everyone wants to go to the Supreme Court no matter the outcome. At this point the original issue may have already been long gone (i.e. Microsoft v Netscape which as you all knew took so long that Netscape was gobbled up by AOL, and then AOL was gobbled up by Time Warner). If legal proceedings take this long, then I ask you, what is the purpose?
The only principals I can think of are two things Market Share through bullying tactics, and personal gain through stock portfolios. Doesn't it make you sick?

Prior Art!!! God/allah/etc wrote the ten commandments in stone with fire. Same thing right? Prior art is existing by at least 5000 years.

Wait, they are laying a $250 million dollar fiber? Only the US would deploy fiber to the curb first to the South Pole.
Ah, thats only like $1.0e7 after tax or so.
