If removing the network cable suddenly speeds things up, then, you're the victim of an unknown Windows bug. For example, when you right-click in Windows Explorer, does it sometimes hang?
Also, is this a computer that's run on more than one network? This happens especially on laptops that have visitied multiple lans (including your home)
You PC's Registry, or something, has Vestiges of Pointers to network resources (not just shared drives) but Icons, things it thinks are out on the network but are not there anymore. You have to wait for the time-out to finish before you have response.
I believe this is also causing slowness in general when these timeouts are in series. Just an boatload of waiting for network things it will never find.
I completely wrote my own Window Explorer where every resource request is done in it's own thread. Any thread that doesn't complete within 1 second is ferociuosly killed. End result, I have my own custom Explorer and no delays. Doesn't have all the bells and whistles, so I haven't shared it.
This really sucks... Best of all! None of the Registry Cleaner Tools, spyware tools will solve this.
I read the article first thing this morning in the WSJ (Yes, I actually pay for it) and realized it was a fluff piece.
But, what you don't understand, is that, for WSJ to put AJAX on the front-page (this wasn't hidden back in the tech-section), sas alot for what is going on.
Moderators....First post was Flamebate! Not insightful. The Dems still believe Kerry should've won, because 60 Minutes should be God!
But, those pesky bloggers smelled a rat.
They have very little benefit from the Web.
Sites like Move On Dot Org were supposed to have Repubs trembling in their shoes, but, in reality, when instead, most people see it as a front to the Socialist Party.
Bias in the media is done indirectly through selectively choosing stories. A left-leaning media outlet, typically just doesn't cover things that specifically make lefties look bad.
Right wing media does the same thing. In both cases, they can be truthful without leaving out information.
Your post, and the three below are talking about my bias, not Drudge's. When you look at DrudgeRetort. It is not a retort. It is simply a Bush Bashing mechanism.
I never said I was un-biased... I'm extremely biased toward conservative viewpoint.
Obviously being un-biased is in the eye in of the beholder. If all the network news, MSNBC, and CNN are biased towards Liberalism, then somebody in the middle is going to seem Right wing in comparison.
Even C-Span is accused of being right wing. It's funny. The open framework of their show "Washington Journal" in my book is more Right Wing in comparison to ABCNBCMSNBCNNCBS. But, in an absolute manner, in is middle of the road un-biased.
Drudge Retort would be good, if it wasn't for the fact that it was partisan. The only thing it ads to Drudge is Bush bashing. There's never any analysis of Flipper (Kerry).
Somebody who was even faster than Drudge, in that it could actually catch Drudge's mistakes would be pretty wild.
I don't know if you read DrudgeReport much, but when it comes to the Iraq War, drudgereport.com is the most un-biased web site. Neith pro, nor con. If he's for anything, he's for getting out the truth, the whole truth on Iraq, both the bad and the good. There's plenty of both.
Just my two cents, but, the one thing about growing up that happened to me, is that I got over myself. My testosterone levels are extremely high, so this took into my mid-30's for it to happen. I just couldn't accept that somebody was better, or smarter than me.
I've moved on to management, as well, because I'm able to motivate others to do their best, and try to impress me, not the other way around. I'm past that, "I need to be validated as an incredibly smart individual..."
One fun thing to do in business, is look at all the male managers and determine whom of the other managers have also gotten over themselves as well. And, watch the differences in success.
Also, letting you all in on a little secret.
The reason you see so many females going into management, earlier on than males, is because of their lack of testosterone. It can really get in the way of a team doing well.
This is really a shame, because, too many female (and often non-technical) people are in charge of technical people. Who gets all the credit? Who eventually becomes more wealthy.
No, better to work for a completely technically competitent manager who has nothing to prove, but, can help your own career.
My advice to the young men. Enjoy being king of the world. Get lots of pussy. This is easy to do in business, or acedemics.
Realize that after 30, you'll calm down, and start playing more golf. Best of all, it gets even easier to pick up young chicks.
Great, now I can swap more Robin Sharma songs. His music is incredible. If you're looking for some Eastern tunes, without the "High Pitch" whining sound, then Robin is the man!
But hey, it was totally apropos, so you have to use it..
It's like.. When I'm in conference with the development team. There are EJB developers, and Web front-end developers.
The EJB's are the "back-end". So, everytime somebody says... "I'm having problems with my back-end". I typically reply with something like... "Yeah, I was having problems with the back-end last night... Nothing a few Pepto's couldn't take care of though... No worrys."
Or, if I'm in all male company... I'll respond with... "Yeah, your mom is having backend problems today... after I finished with her last night!!!
I'm not trying to take anything away from the awesomeness of the accomplishment. I'm totally for space exploration. But, if we could just land somewhere that doesn't remind me of Nebraska with no Corn, just dirt... I think it would really help the cause.
Imagine finding a cool man, with an area we can land right next to some Huge Mountain with some freaky shaped Outcroppings, then, picture the night sky almost completely taken up by a Saturn and its Rings.
Everyone on Earth would go Ape sh$t for that. I'd probably wet my shorts if I saw that.
And further, a smaller moon would have much less gravity, easier to land on. Plus, easier to conceive of a manned mission there because of much lower Escape Velocity.
I messed up with Titan (gaseous)... Just find some other rocky chunk of dirt.
Could we ever see it git rid of paying for electronic information?
Will Google or some search engines ever create an "Oraganized factual" area that does the equiv of Lexis Nexis.
This will be very interesting over the next 20 years.
Most software geeks don't need or use Lexis Nexis, however, if you've ever supported a large legal office, you know all about it, and how expensive it is.

This may go down as when Google finally "Jumped the Shark".
No seriously, I used to work with the guy at MCI a decade ago.
He did absolutely nothing for the company. He was just a name to pimp around.
Definitely beowulf cluster of "dead" BSD clusters...
No, but the answer is simple in two words....

That's because in class. You leave everything in the formulas, complicating matters too freaken much.
D.E.'s aside. You transform the D.E.'s into a solvable problem in the Linear Programming world.
The other bodies' gravity pull is very negligent. Because they are inverse prortional to the square of how far you are away from them.
Mainly there's just four significant factors.
1. How much to get off this heap of dirt we call Earth.
2. How fast we want to get there, which basically directly related to the next question...
3. How much does it take to slow down once you get there. (Since there's no friction in outer space...)
4. All the previous in reverse order, knowing that you don't need to get back to Mars again.
==========
You throw in the factors of survival. As you extend trip, your survival supplies costs more.
As you speed up trip, the bigger your fuel tank needs to be.
As you make things bigger, you increase costs. Oh, precious cost!!!
This is classic Linear Programming.
-====
In the end, the answer isn't how much it's going to cost.
The answer is a question.
How much can you spend?
You go from there.

It assumes the velocity you would need, if you didn't continue to apply thrust to yourself...
I can't get over how many Slashdotters don't know the simple physics of satellite orbits.
Orbital veloctiy is dependant on Radius from Earth's center, and gravity's pull.

Even better, he forgot to check "post anon.." on the followup.
Good luck John. Either you'll make a great novelist for Scandinavians (they eat that depression shit right up), or, you really are that pathetic.
This was what I was going to post.
I have heard the sales pitch... "On-Shore workers, at Off-Shore Rates".
I really haven't completely figured it out.

I will stick to my Milton Friedmanesque principles when confused. What doesn't seem right for me, may be right for the country.
Every L1 that returns home takes home a little piece of America. Long term, the world becomes Western, Capitalistic Cowboys.
The world then becomes a better place. A better consumer, instead of welfare basket case.

He's the 5th Sexiest Man in Nepal for his "his roving eyes, wet lips and flirtatious manners."
Solid.
That's right. IBM no longer sees Eclipse only as their IDE platform. They see it as a business software platform.
The PDE (Plugin Development Environment ) is a brilliant mechanism that I feel has a strong chance of becoming the next "Killer App".
IBM will get the credit, but not the profit. This is why it will succeed.
I remember text books in College. What a racket!
1. Write Text Book (introduced with typo errors).
2. Get Professor to force students to buy.
3. Write new Text Book (same as old, but with some typos fixed, and some new ones introduced.
4. Next semester, Get Professor to force students to buy newer improved version.
5. Go back to step 3.

If I were in college today, I would be outraged if I were required to buy a single text book.
Everything is on the net.
Remember the Saturday Night Live Skit?
This Linspire.com isn't very inspiring, but, it is better than www.clownpenis.fart
I guess in a slight pun sort of way.

Really. Let's all admit it finally. Those pictures from mars are as boring as hell!
I bet what would really be neat is to land on one of Saturn's Moons. Imagine the night sky on Titan!
Or, perhaps, somewhere next to Uranus.
And just kill your parents.
Enough already.
So, the net got rid of paying for info on paper.
Could we ever see it git rid of paying for electronic information?

What the heck were they doing with a $1M FPGA simulator? Doesn't seem part of their business model.
Yes! Her last night's dinner is still on my breath! It's too early here for spell check.
