How much faster would they have grown if they hadn't been wasting several percent of GDP on an unnecessary arms program? The compound effect of a decade of multiple % additional growth would have been astounding, India could probably have first world literacy rates for instance if they had spent that money on schools instead of nuclear bombs.
Oh wait, it requires expertise in (per wikipedia) fluid mechanics, structural mechanics, orbital mechanics, flight dynamics, physics, mathematics, control engineering, materials science, aeroelasticity, avionics, reliability engineering, noise control, and flight testing among other domains. Yeah, real easy.
The bolded entries are the ones that are pretty much optional and fairly poorly done even by NASA (witness the various probe failures). You really only need to get in the general area of your target to be effective which means simple ballistic Newtonian physics is probably sufficient so long as you avoid burning up your reentry vehicle.
Yeah, fat lot of good it's done Pakistan, the US has been tramping all over their sovereign soil and killing their citizens. For all of the good it did them it cost them ~5% of GDP, similar to the entire non-war US defense budget. If you want to retard your countries growth striving to become a nuclear power is a good way to do it.
Hmm, I find it's a rare and very broken PDF that Ghostscript can't render. We have tons of expensive commercial tools including Acrobat Pro that choke on significantly more files that Ghostscript, but that doesn't mean there aren't many people out there that will send out something just because it renders in acrobat reader. Do you happen to know if the 4 files have anything in common like a source program?
If Adobe shuts the doors and there's no OS implementation then that means the format slowly dies and your chances of opening the file in the distant future are diminished, if there's an OS reader then you are basically assured you will always have a way to access the files. Sure with an open spec you should be able to open the file in the future if you want to code up something to view it, but I think the MS XML spec is a nice counterpoint, there is only one real implementation so far distant opening of those files is much less likely.
Um, Adobe not only gets you a way to get to the MSI, but it actually creates a customization file for you. That solution is called Adobe Customization Wizard 9. Sun JRE has been a bit more of a pain in the rear, especially when it comes to making sure ONLY the version(s) you want are installed and registered.
The main thing I like about OS PDF readers is that in 50 years you will still be able to open PDF's with the OS reader or its descendants, Adobe is unlikely to still be around.
But why wouldn't you, it's not like jumpstarting or whatever your deployment system of choice is makes it hard and you have a known baseline to work off of. It might now be as bad on most Unix systems but I know of plenty of systems with kernel patches, config file tweeks, custom glibc builds, etc that I wouldn't want to reuse because while that config worked well for that specific application the new application might not like it. I've just always avoided cruft whenever possible and while I've cursed people for taking the shortcut of reusing a box I've never said "I wish I hadn't spent an hour or two reimaging that box"
Why the HELL are you repurposing machines without rebuilding them, that's a BAD practice, even for a Unix machine. Get your stuff right and rebuilding a box is at most a couple hour job (mostly non-interactive). Plus in a modern virtualized datacenter you really won't be reusing a machine, you'll just spawn a new one and delete the old.
Why not? It's not like reimaging a box is a big chore if you are doing it right, and if you are you are going to reimage anyway just to make sure there is no cruft left around. I don't want my monitoring system telling me sneezy has a disk problem I want it telling me the file server has a disk problem or the non-production little used app server is having a disk problem. The first one I have to wake up a 6:30am on a Saturday to deal with (like I did this weekend), the other can wait till Monday.
Yep, even though we aren't that large (primary and DR datacenters with 13 remote sites) we went with the good old
since I had worked in larger environments with both and much preferred a logical naming scheme. Cute names are all well and good until you start working with consultants, outside partners, support, etc and then it just gets confusing. Not to mention the extra brain cycles wasted bringing new staff onboard.
Actually the GP was right, your account does not have the admin bits set in the token when using UAC. Responding to the dialog adds those pieces to the token for that app on a temporary basis.
Um, it's easy for MS to block software that simulates keypresses, they already do it for UAC and the login dialog extending this to the warning screen (or more likely adding that to UAC) would be fairly trivial.
result of the skill and effort level of the educators and parents in question.
This is the number one reason that education reform fails to make any meaningful inroads in a short period of time, if the parents are the product of a failed school system then they will be unable/unwilling to put a concerted effort into helping in their childrens education. Without the full involvement of the parents no education system will be successful for even the majority of students let alone all students.
Try using the registry bypass to force the clients to process the files from the beginning of the print process, that might eliminate the imaging issues you are having (generally though they simply look like they will process and just go to nowhere, but your issues might be related but different). If you need the exact registry key just ask and I will post it on Monday when I get to the office. I've found you get WAY more reliability if you can use ONLY the UPD as well as better performance because the clients are doing the print processing.
Live mesh is nothing like livedrive, livedrive is online storage, mesh is like P2P file sync for your various machines. Office Live is like a more limited version of skydrive just for office documents and it has a nice interface for online collaboration.
Those are the old UPD's from MPS3 and before, as long as your clients are all using version 9 or newer client software they will use the new MPS4 UPD which is EMF based (I believe the Windows 2008 TS driver is similar). Those older UPD's DID have issues including missing features from client printers and so were often not acceptable to many businesses, the new MPS4 UPD should work in almost all situation if your clients are windows machines (I don't believe the MPS4 UPD works with non-windows clients due to the fact that it uses the Windows EMF file format).
What rendering bugs are you running into with the UPD? The MPS4 UPD literally presents the clients available features and then picks up the Windows EMF file and ships it off to the client to run through the driver locally. The only problem I've run into using the new UPD is some host based printers don't like having the EMF file injected directly into the print subsystem, for those rare cases Citrix offers a client side registry tweak to send the jobs into the start of the local print driver cycle which has eliminated that issue for us and a few of our business partners.
Cool, glad it works for you. It would never work for me because one of the primary deliverables for me is all of our web based enterprise systems integrated with Office with our myrid of reporting systems and Lotus Notes being the other big ones. While I personally like and enjoy using a variety of open source programs the loss of productivity from going away from the tried and true IE/Office pairing with its ecosystem of third party tools would be too great to justify the savings. My employer currently still has plenty of working capital and so the edict is to make their biggest cost (employees) more efficient.
The USERS can't install anything, heck even I can't install anything unless I take the server out of its normal OU and reboot, but having the controls that add significant functionality to our ERP, BI, Accounts Payable, and other enterprise systems randomly fail to load was a non-starter. If it wasn't for the loss of functionality going with a non-IE browser we would have switched to Firefox long ago as I prefer it for the obvious security benefits.

You've broken Amazon, good job! I went to checkout with Jewel Quest and there was an unknown error.

The Intel GMA950 which can do 1080p pulls greater than 20W just for the chipset.

Protip, if you are rewiring today put in conduit and nylon cable pulls, when the next new technology hits you will thank me =)
