This. In electronics mfg and repair, PCB's are baked at around 100C for 12 hours to remove moisture from the boards before any rework is attempted. This prevents the PCB and other components from delaminating under the high heat of solder reflow (think popcorn kernels popping...). In your case,I'd recommend a good cleaning with alcohol, then baking as the parent said.
As for you, sounds like some alcohol and baking are also in order.
I don't know about you, but I have friends at my former place of employment, and even if I didn't tell them where I was going, they would find out through the grapevine. Besides, there's always that chance that a colleague may be interested in following, and were afraid to speak up without prompting. Its good to network people...
Not to sound like a fanboy, Windows Home Server is the easiest backup solution I've used yet. For years I've used a Linux box with a few drives RAIDed and shared a few folders via SAMBA, then used SyncToy to duplicate my laptop files on the SAMBA share. Yeah it works, but setting up the RAID and SAMBA is just a pain and SyncToy is pretty flakey.
I joined the beta program for WHS and its ridiculously easy: you throw a few drives into an old computer, install WHS which is almost fully automated, then run the "connector" software on each client PC. It'll automatically back up every night, and mirror your data across the multiple drives in the host computer for redundancy.
I'm not sure exactly what the launch date is, or what the licensing terms would be for a small business, but its worth investigating.
What struck me was that the article mentioned the ice formations being about 3000 years old. Leading me to believe that over 3000 years ago, it was warmer, and then it got colder. And now its getting warmer again. Sooooo....can we prove that it truly is global warming now, and not part of some other cyclical change?
It never ceases to amaze me. If you didn't bother to read the article, I'll sum it up because I'm just awestruck: With a little creativity, his brain healed itself and created new pathways, almost spontaneously despite his age.
Neither. I KNOW I can install Linux. I've been using it on and off for all 13 years of its existence. But I've recently become lazy.
I got a new lappy last week - a Dell 600m (new to me, anyway). It has a WinXP partition on it, which I'm keeping for using QuickBooks, Office, CorelDraw, etc. But I wanted to have Linux on there too, so I threw Ubuntu on the other partition. Found and configured all my hardware flawlessly, even the wireless and touchpad.
But I wanted KDE as well as GNOME, and I wanted more apps, etc, so decided to go to full-blown Debian. Install took a little longer, and in the end did NOT automagically get anything right. No wireless, no X, no touchpad. Now I KNOW how to configure this stuff; I have 100's of times in the past. But now I have a job, kids, a house, other stuff to do, and damn if I was going to spend the time to screw with compiling kernel modules, mess with my XF86Config endlessly, etc. So back to Ubuntu I went.
Laziness always trumps know-how.
...that any company (other than Apple) that names their product iAnything should have 15% iDeducted from their iStock price for being iUncreative. It was catchy when Apple started doing it (if they were even the first), but now its kind of "their thing" and it just sounds, well, stupid when other companies do it.
This is the beginning of the great "equalization." It won't be long until Indian workers (and foreign workers in India) demand a standard of living that drives up their required salaries. Since the globalization scare began a couple years ago (actually, its been happened for decades), I've been saying it can't last for too long, now that we're all part of one global economy and not packetized in little closed-off sections of the world.
That is a very good point indeed. I guess the Adblockers get to start with a clear conscience and actual make a more rational purchasing decision then;)
What it really comes down to it this: those of us who bother to use Adblock or any other ad blocking tools aren't likely to be influenced by those advertising techniques anyway. Smart advertisers should know this.
Not that I would pay for it, but I can see where you'd use it. I use Outlook at work, and all of my business life is pretty well integrated into it - Contacts, Calendar, Mail, etc. I also have a personal email acct, and would have a personal calendar if Google offered it (AHEM!) but I'd really prefer if it were all integrated into Outlook. Problem is, while you can pop many free or cheap accounts, you can't do it through my companies proxy. So, an HTTP protocol like Hotmail is all that would work.
Read the parent post again. My example describes soft-padding. MythTV can do that (start recording a scheduled show late as long as it hasn't ended) with one tuner. Your example is a true conflict; I would expect that your box would start recording ER and then either switch to recording CSI 10 if it were a higher priority, or just skip it otherwise.
I can't beleive no one has mentioned MythTV yet. If a show I'm recording ends at 9:01 and another I want to record started at 8:59, Myth will just start recording the second show without any user intervention at all. It just happens automagically. I'm sure I could tweak the conflict priorities a bit to *prevent* the default behavior, so I'd be on par with Tivo though...;)
Riiiight...you use your remote control with it, and a backend server that does all the recording and storing. The XBOX just becomes a "quiet" sleek little frontend.
Remember, Intel sells products to millions and millions of people, most of which do not realize that MHz does not equal performance. One of my friends was just complaining the other day how this laptop he wanted with a Pentium M cost more than the Pentium 4 but ran half as fast. Marketing rules all, and when you're trying to crank out a profit, you do what you need to do to sell your product.
Care you elaborate? I've toyed around with Slackware, Redhat, and Debian (in the form of Xebian and KnoppMyth - a Knoppix re-package) and it seems that if you install the right packages any one could be made to function as well as another (of course my experience may be limited). What distros are better than others at what specific tasks?

Slashdot Mirror
I came here for a NO CARRIER joke, and Slashdot never disappoints.
So once its all wired up, what happens when he eats? Does he "see" his food? Synthesia for flavors?
Funny, because my related searches for "the dark knight" are:
* The Joker
* Heath Ledger And The Joker
* The Batman
* The Dark Knight 2008
* Superman The Man Of Steel
* The Punisher
* The Incredible Hulk
Seems pretty relevant to me.
You also get this nice little sidebar which assumes you're looking for a movie:
* Images
* Trailer
* Review
* Quotes
* Soundtrack
* Cast

Lead-free solder is actually more brittle than leaded solder. Also, most die-level solder bumps (C4) are still leaded, at least for the time being.
Great post. Lots of people, ESPECIALLY the Bible thumpers, seem to forget that much of what is in the Bible is parable.

Wait a minute, you actually pay for your PVR software?!!?

You know that certainly has a better ring to it.

Ahanix and SilverStone both make some really nice cases, as does CoolerMaster.
