Seriously though, thanks for that link. I'll see what I can do when time permits. If even simply citing the article and noting that a subscription is required, etc. I too heard about the leptin and the feeling full concept; an interesting one. Another one of the 'i heard's is the idea that it is addictive.
We (my family) have worked most of the HFCS out of our diet and found that, health benefits aside, what the action of purging it really does is help you to be more conscious of what is inside the food you are going to eat.
In the article for High Fructose Corn Syrup, it used to state that it caused cancer in lab rats. My wife, having breast cancer, was interested in removing that stuff from her diet. I looked it up, found that entry about the lab rats... realized the author of that line didn't cite anything at all and so I removed it with a note as such.
It has yet to return. I couldn't find a thing in the "real world" of medical journals (I work at a teaching hospital), to say HFCS does such things... so I was happy to edit.
Of course, all I really need to do is place anything seriously important in a similar manner as you and just treat the work keys like what they are:work keys. If I want to, for some reason, decrypt an email sent to me on a personal address, I can use the keyring in tc.
TC is great, I agree. I think I'm going to toy around with cleaning out the "keychain"s I happen to have... and just keeping my personal keyrings on a TC volume, too. (I have TC on a keychain and a copy of the volume on my pc.)
I don't know that I could 'legally' toy with TC here at work - I need to have a sec keyring for work...
I wonder if I can tell gpg, via command line, to use a different sec/pub keychain when I want to decrypt any crap I have that is personal (to say, gmail.) This way, I can keep the ring inside TC on the keychain. When the keychain is out of the pc, it's "gone" and no trace is on the pc.
Where do you store your keyrings, out of curiosity. I have a work email and my gmail... I have a thought that I should have the same keyring at work as I do at home, as I do safely stored somewhere for backup...
But is there a "keyring best practices" out there at all?
We, in the fire department (when driving our elevated platform aroudn town), use the phrase, "A miss is as good as a mile." Especially as an answer to the question, "Did you come close to that telephone-poll/car/sign?":P
I agree. In reality, who needs a "full featured" browser, and when/where do they need it. At home, if I'm surfing around the various "portal" sites I use to collect my information (google.com/ig for instance), I could deal with a minimal browser. In fact, I may go look around for something pretty lean when I get home tonight.
However, here at work, I am frequently sent off to various vendor sites and need a "full" browser that is able to process flash, java script, etc...
For one, I too get upset about cable companies having monopolies. The fact of the matter is, in my area (not too rural, northwest Connecticut), I have only one cable company. (I have choices with sat tv, etc, though.) Now, take sat. tv out of the picture and the only place I can go for cable quality service is this one company.
I would think that it would be a good idea for the government to step in and say, "If the number of companies serving an area is 1, then the prices and business model has to follow the regulations set [here]. In addition, the one company has to be allow a fair business to compete in the area." Much like how uncle Sam can say, "Your debt and bills are x, and your income is y and therefore we can garnish z wages from your pay," on your behalf should the need arise. (Think: someone who doesn't pay childsupport or taxes.)
But, in reality, I don't know how that would play out to the consumer.
This cable company is also my internet provider. I do not have "land lines" at my house, and so I cannot get DSL without having them installed. That initial cost to start DSL may prove to be a good thing, but I actually like cable internet.
However, with television, I think we pay 25 or so a month for the first "20" channels... the stuff we would get over the air, anyway, along with some local programming. I would be happy to pay 30 a month if I could pick just four channels only, for instance... because I know I would watch them on a regular basis.
To top it all off, add in the fact that cable TV networks (not providers) are also showing more and more rude content at an earlier time, and I will probably just shut the cable off altogether and go Netflix anything I want to watch. For instance, the show Family Guy is now on at 6pm instead of much much later, as I feel it should be. As a parent, I regulate what my children can watch, however the principal of it is important to me. Frankly, I can imagine and picture the children next door mimicking this show (which I, personally, like. At >6pm though!) and saying things like, "And then I laughed because I said 'come'"...
Mdobossy, the hubris and adolescence in your replies makes it hard to follow your arguments to the parent poster. His arguments make sense, from a business standpoint. If the cost of memory goes up for a hardware store, you'd better believe the customer will feel that in one way or another.
I do not think cable companies are in the mood to create loss-leaders.
I don't think work allows flicker bandwidth here, otherwise I'd link an image... however, yes, it is worth it. Shoot me an email if you want me to tell you the various versions of whatnot I've got installed; I'll reply when I get home.
I got bored with Slackware and various other distros... and one day I decided to try Ubuntu's latest release. I was pissed off at XP and said, flatly, if Ubuntu gives me shit, I won't use it.
It's worked since day one. Anything "extra" I've gone and screwed up, I've done on my own. I use the terminal almost exclusively. (Shh: for nethack when I'm not doing other things in vi.)
I just wanted a lazy OS that wasn't XP. Would another distro fully recognize my wifi card, wired card, usb devices, etc? It was easy as pie to get my Microchip PICKit2 working. I am sure it would be just as easy in another distro; but at the point I usually want to work on other things, in other distros, I'm still either playing with ifconfig or getting X to work properly...
Plus, Beryl actually does good things for me: I'll run WoW (via Wine) fullscreen, and still have access to other desktops by simply twisting the cube around to another side...
I will agree, but add that at that point, "company" becomes "the wrong company to work for."
At my last place of employment, it was like that. Work 42.5 hours "salaried" and have to stay later than norm? That's ok. Have to leave early, or leave at a half-day? You got eye-daggers pointed at you from every direction. You were a traitor! I felt like I was the only one who had a life outside of work.
As if he made it past the 5th grade, he can comprehend that "salaried" means just that. He doesn't get paid for 40 hours a week, they use 40 as a reference number to split his paycheck out evenly over the year. If his company needs him to work 60 hours, he does so without issue; as they should have no issue with him leaving early here and there, working 30 hours because his kid needs to be picked up early from school one week...
That's exactly the case I was saying one could hope never happened, but yeah, we all know with microsoft it always will happen that way at some point in an os's history. Sad, really. I agree with you.
If you install a legal copy of Vista, one can assume that it will remain legal.
One can *hope* that Micros~1 never turns off legal copies; and if they do, deal with that then. For the interim, until that point, you have NOTHING that says that they will do anything other than what they said they will do. (Barring any statistical screwups... which, in 20 years, isn't really *that* bad, as systems that rely on the microsoft network availability/proper operation haven't been around even half of that time.
So, in short: Don't install an illegal copy of vista and expect it to work as a legal copy.
In length: Crack it when a method comes out, and go from there. But, seriously, if you area an OEM, you shouldn't be selling pirated or MSDN'd copies anyway. I've worked for companies that do that, small companies that are struggling and companies that know that being fully compliant is expensive but worth it.
I am fully aware that wireless turns off the radio, and that the thing operates through radio waves. However, why call it a phone when wireless is off; it is, essentially, a brick wrapped in plastic when wireless is off. Yes, you can play brickbreaker (no pun intended) and write things to be sent later...
But the person who had the device before me couldn't see how wireless and "phone" were so interconnected; thinking "wireless" meant Internet related functions and "phone" meant... well, ring ring related functions...
This is what pisses me off about the blackberry the first time I used it (rotating on-call phone). I wasn't getting *calls* and emails. Asked about it and someone said, "Well the person before you turned wireless off."...the "Wireless off" button is right next to the "Power off" button.
My cell phone, when I'm not using wireless email and interwebs... still operates as a phone.
Why turning wireless off also turn the phone off on the blackberry, I only know after turning it back on and watching the damn thing work.
Why are articles regarding the individual episodes of Star Trek not real articles? Why are the articles regarding the characters of my recent favorite novel series, Ringworld, not real articles, not real pieces of human (english language) history?

Just curious.
As an online discussion grows longer, the probability of a solution to the energy issues of the world, involving e=mc^2 or Einstein, approaches one.
Unless, however, the author expounds on the solution with maximal use of LaTeX.
I hear that! And, I think I've had my id that long, too! :( /old

No worries; it was nice to see you expound a bit.

I'll look that up, thanks. Right I think I've seen wording like "all men", etc. No time at the moment, but worth further reading, indeed.
"We the people -of- the United States, in order to form a more perfect _union_"
To me, implies or directly leads to, citizen or resident within said union... no?
Is that like saying the UPC number is a copyright held by the company? Or the MAC address, at least the first few parts, are copyright protected?
In your internet router, force the dns to use the opendns information...
Works, somewhat well. Doesn't stop you from using google images, though.

I think option B was his case here.

He doesn't get paid for 40 hours a week, they use 40 as a reference number to split his paycheck out evenly over the year.

Yeah, innocent... right.
When you purchased your machine, with your legal copy of windows, you did save you receipts, right? You did save your license information, right?
Wouldn't that be all you need to show when you are told to prove out your copy of Windows?
*BARRING* any technical issues Microsoft has had that "revert" your legal copy, via registry-key-changes/etc, into an illegal copy...
Which is, I guess, the entire point of the people who are upset with this change. Good point.
That's exactly the case I was saying one could hope never happened, but yeah, we all know with microsoft it always will happen that way at some point in an os's history. Sad, really. I agree with you.
What the hell is wrong with you guys?
