What I want to know is what Bethesda has DONE with the rights to Fallout 3, there's nothing available from a quick google search other than the 04 press release.
Indirectly there will be. Part of the proceeds from selling off the analog tv spectrum is slated to be used to help poor people buy converters. This is money that the government could have otherwise used to offset other taxes or lower the national debt. So indirectly you are paying for others adapters =)
Yep, the most important photographs of the 20th century tankman,Iwo Jima,Hindenburg, etc were all taken by professional photographers despite the near ubiquitous access to cameras, especially during the second half of the century when mass production made them so cheap they literally were available in the checkout lane alongside gum and candy. I don't think that more access to crap is going to make people stop wanting something high quality. Heck look at porn on the net, there's tons of it available for free yet I don't see Vivid et al going out of business.
Uhh, allocating based on physical location would be pretty retarded. It would ignore the real world where IP space is controlled by the ISP's and routing is done along peering boundaries, not national borders. The real way to do it would be to allocate a top level to each major ISP and have them chunk them into regional POP lists and have the POP's show up in the routing table, more entries than the national boundary concept but MUCH more efficient in the real world.
Many of the features found in the base Presentation Server package are coming to Longhorn Server. For a quick overview of the changes to Terminal Services under Longhorn see Brian Madden's page. It's generally geared towards Citrix but there is more general TS knowledge there than just about any other place on the web not least of which is Brian himself.
I did it in a mid sized enterprise, if you are using ghost, GPO, or the office resource kit setting things like that isn't rocket science. Besides RPC over HTTPS is the way to go because it just works as long as you have an internet connection =)
Not the first time NORML was wrong on Ohio possession law. I had to correct them twice about the law, they insisted that the minor mis possession classification meant nothing but a fine. In fact it carries a mandatory six month license suspension which flags you in the same class as a DUI for insurance purposes after the license is reinstated. The reality is that you are not required by law to report the offense as a criminal act to employers, but as long as the courts show it on their websites even the most cursory of background checks flags it and you have to explain to the employer that you did not lie on the application and explain the offense and get into the technicality of the law, not a fun position to be in.
Where do you get this? It's not in the ORC and is not practice in at least one Ohio city (Medina has minor mis offenses listed in their online database). Should those records not be searchable?
Good luck with that.... If your Exchange admin knows what he is doing MAPI communications are secured and the other two major access methods are as well. OWA is secure between backend and frontend servers and the frontend servers should only have HTTPS enabled, and of course RPC over HTTPS is secure.
3) I'm not seeing what Vista will actually *do* for me over XP.
Bitlocker for laptops
Better power management via group policy for desktops, just to name two biggies 5) I'm unwilling to perform the carnal acts necessary to get that extra funding.
Unless you need hardware upgrades there likely won't be a funding need since the upgrade is likely covered under your SA agreement. 6) I'm not deploying another MS OS before the first service pack.
This one if completely legit =)
Actually a lot of the decent laptops have the video card on a daughtercard connected by an electrically compatible, but not pin compatible standard interface (now usually MXM for PCIe).
I might live in the city except it is a crime ridden hellhole with a horrible school system, and that description fits the majority of large American cities. NY, Boston, Chicago are the big exceptions I am aware of. I personally hated living in an apartment in the suburbs, it was almost the worst of both worlds, the noise, smells, and headache of living close to other people, and the commute of the suburbs. When I went to purchase a home I decided on a 1200sq ft ranch on 1 acre. The mortgage payment is less than 25% of my takehome pay and the cost to heat and cool it after I put in a modern furnace is cheaper than my 900sq ft apartment with mostly interior walls. Btw I have all of the ethnic food I could want within a reasonable drive. I have Indian, Thai, Vietnamese, Italian, Hungarian, Mexican (both authentic and Tex-Mex), etc within about a 10 minutes drive. Unless gas hits $30/gallon (which I don't expect within my grandkids lifetime thanks to oil sands and other technologies) my expenses are still less than someone living in one of the big cities.
That rocks, it so beats your typical house phone setup, even with portable extensions. You can give each employee their own line, give them mobile email, and avoid the costs of the cellular system. Hmm, now I want to do a feasibility study on large scale VoIP over WiFi deployments using those, you might not even need to give expensive VoIP deskphones, just give em all blackberry WiFi devices. That's a VERY interesting concept, would want to see it in practice but I bet it's doable.
Not to mention that you can lockdown the devices with an IT policy that doesn't allow the user to install any unapproved (by the Blackberry admin) software. Oh yeah and under OS4+ most automation steps still prompt the user. For instance I get prompted when I try to make a call from an entry in google maps mobile or launch a mailto: link from the Internet Browser app.
Well, it depends on what your doing for HPC, if you have something with a high FP workload to messaging/data workload then the Intel part might be a good choice since it is by far the Floating Point king. If your workload consists of large data sets or lots of message passing then the AMD solution might be the right fit. I deal with more classical IT workloads (large database and n-tier systems) so the AMD solution is currently the better fit for my heavy lifting boxes. My blade servers for things like Citrix servers use dual core Intel chips because of the currently better MIPS/Watt ratio.
The QX6700 has the same TDP(125-130W) per socket as the FX70-74 so I assume they run at about the same temperature on chip. Overall system temperature might be higher for the FX based quad core system since it uses twice as many sockets, but that's a matter of case design, if the case design can eliminate the heat from the heatsink effectively I would imagine both systems would run at the same temperature. This is of course ignoring the fact that AMD TDP is worst case and Intel's is average case.
If figured it out, you have to use the Blackberry browser in WAP mode. I normally use the Internet Browser in IE emulation mode. The fact that you can't exit the app using the button under the scroll wheel (not sure of the name) is annoying, why is it different than every other Blackberry/J2ME app?
I never sync my Blackberry in the cradle, if fact I don't think I have the Desktop Manager software installed on my new work laptop. Ever since BES 4 came out there has been little need for it other than stupid apps which don't have an Over The Air install option, and I now just avoid those. So I guess the question is, does anyone have an OTA URL for this?
reflective, temperature sensitive, holographic, interwoven etc.), partial designs on opposite sides
Uh, we already do most of that.... We have transflective ink on the denomination mark in the corners, interwoven security strips that are UV sensitive(different color per denomination), offset designs, watermarks, microprinted features, and have introduced color into the current generation of designs (blasphemers). The greenback is not the same note today that it was a decade ago.
Actually the Susan B and Sacagawea dollar coins are the same size, weight, and have the same electrical characteristics. This was an important part of the design of the Sacagawea coin as the mint realized that there was no way vending machine manufacturers were going to ever support the dollar coin unless they were consistent in their design.
That's why you use Crane's Crest Fluorescent White paper as your stock. It's made by the same people that make the paper used by the US Mint using a similar process. It doesn't contain the security strip, watermark, colored threads, etc of a real bill but it will pass the feel and iodine pen tests used by most cashiers =)
I don't know comparing a 2007 Toyota Highlander Hybrid to a 62 Ford Galaxie 500 two door:
Curb weight 4100lbs 3800lbs
HP 208 220
Seating 7 6
So, pretty damn comparable. Of course the Highlander is WAY more fuel efficient, less polluting, and more survivable in a crash. It also has accessories that don't suck and will probably go 2-3 times longer without any mechanical issues.
In Standby the Laserjet 4m+ uses 80W, over the course of a year that's 700KWHr's or about $100 worth of electricity. Cheap laser printers today cost less than $200 so I doubt their cost of manufacture and transportation in energy is more than the 2 year energy usage of the 4m+ (HP's proclivity of using the razorblade model notwithstanding since there are others in the low end laser market that don't follow that model). Standby on the Laserjet 1020 is 2W, meaning if the 1020 lasts more than 2 years it's payed for itself in power saving.

See my response above in this thread, you save the cost of the new printer in less than 2 years based on standby energy savings alone.
