IBM mainframe complexes basically never go down. There are installations that have been running 24x7x365 for decades. That's the whole point of owning one.
More likely it's quality and replayability. Tapes sound like crap and wear out quickly. It could also have to do with the fact that you can have 100+ cd players at home and 12 disk players in the car, no tape player I've ever seen has more than 2 decks.
Better battery life???? My series one iPod gets ~11 hours per charge. None of the flash based players even hold that much music!! For the same $200 you can get a 15GB iPod on ebay. Maybe once flash players come with a couple GB for under $200 I might no longer want a disk based player, but probably not. Its nice to rip a new cd when I purchase it and never have to think about it again, it's just there on my player.
I assume they are using a fractal antenna or something like it. These little miracles have enabled small devices to have amazing reception. For instance antennas have disapeared from about 2/3rds or new cellphones because a wip antenna can't compete with an antenna the size of the phone that is tuned to recieve the band(s) that the phone is supposed to operate on while rejecting most others.
A good friend of mine skied bumps for 8 hours with his iPod with no problems. The extremely small hdd and good construction of the iPod means that it can withstand just about anything the wearer can. Hell Apple even teamed up with Burton to make the Amp jacket a skiing jacket with a pocket for the iPod and controlls built in.
Doubtfull unless labor contract law in Australia is vastly different from the majority of the US. Of course Austalia could be like California and most of Europe for all I know =)
I hold both and while the NT4 MCSE has a lot of regurgiation the win2k exam is nearly as real world as the RHCE. Basically after you have one of these certs and a couple years experience the certs themselves are only there as check boxes on HR's checklist or the mental checklist of defficient management.
Sounds just like the baby Bell companies here in the US, they still have a stranglehold on the local loop and just bought themselves some laws and FCC rule changes that basically ensure it stays that way for another couple decades and prevents inovative competition like VoIP from becoming economically viable. Another stellar example is First Energy, the local power provider here in N.E. Ohio that is the likely cause of the recent large power outage.
This matters because bogus packets can be dropped without being passed to other routes, also failing/messed up interfaces can be taken down programatically. Knowing that you are having an error condition can be VERY usefull.
Local folders are for clients using IMAP with a limited amount of storage space who wish to retain archives without running a local IMAP server. You can also use them to collate email from multiple accounts (say you have various aliases and want to combine all PO's into a single location).
I don't know I've always thought Mozilla was going to be my browser of choice. I started using it seriously with M9 and since M15 it has been my main browser. Since.9 it has been my only regulary used browser. I keep Crazy Browser around only for sites that use plugins that I hate to have installed normally (like flash) but where I might actually want to view the content (like Strongbad). Basically I could get by without ever using any other browser and would be very happy for it.
shotgunned 56K connections would be a GREAT backup solution for many small/medium offices or businesses. I go around doing system upgrades at facilities like this all the time and most of them have a single broadband connection with no backup. What happens when their POP goes bellie up or their broadband ISP screws something up? They are hard down. With a 112Kb backup connection they could continue to work, sure you wouldn't want to download the multimedia training film that day but at least they could access all of the resources they need to to get most of their job done.
Reverse engineering is always cheaper than invention. Luckily mother nature holds no patents. Of course that means we have no documents to work off of so we have to do the more laborious reverse engineering.
Actually I have a best friend and older brother that work as data analysts for different telemarketing firms. I have gotten to know the gritty details of the telemarketing data screening process from helping them or listening to them whine about their day.
The guys over at penny-arcade do ok. Every time they try to open their online merchandise store it gets crushed by the demand. Also the site has been cahsflow positive since the beginning despite high bandwidth bills.
actually it's WAY higher than 1 in 7, it's 41 million numbers, which given an average of 3.5 people per household is nearly half the nations home phone numbers. Of course this is squed by people listing multiple numbers but close enough.
Right now any legal telemarketing company that is not incompetant will run as one of their first checks a national cellphone block check and remove all numbers that are from the cellphone number blocks. The exceptions would be new numbers that have not yet been registered. With telephone number portability this will become possibly less reliable because the FCC is thinking of making numbers portable between cellphone and landline services. If that comes to pass then telemarketers will be able to legitimatly state that they can not reliably block cellphones, at that time you may need to add your cell number to the national DNC list.
Shrinkage is a $33 BILLION dollar annual problem for Walmart, anything they can do to reduce it will be significant even if it's only a 1-2% drop. Basically Walmart loses to theft half of MS's cash reserves every year. Of course they don't really lose it, they pass those costs on to everyone who shops at Walmart.
It was because of that kind of lack of technology that a trainload of loam ended up in a California neighborhood. The originating engineer did not recieve a bill of laiding and so calculated the tonage of the train based on his knowledge of coal hoppers, unfortunatly troam is more dense and so he was off by ~50%. Of course too much technology is also bad, witness all the utilities and critical services that were affected by the recent rash of MS worms.
I already walk past the "security officers" at stores like BestBuy and CompUSA. One time a guy physically grabbed me, after I twisted his wrist around in a judo hold I asked if he planned to press charges against me for shoplifting, when he said no I told him I would like to go otherwise I would sue for false arrest, kidnapping, assault, and anything else my lawyers could think up. Unless they are executing a citizens arrest for shoplifting those goons are NOT allowed to touch you and you are not obligated to stop.
More likely is they bought the MPEG core from some other company and so they don't own it's design. I know this is not at all uncommon in the consumer electronics space, for instance companies often buy a MIPS core with various accelerator subcores.

This is the email client companion to the Gecko based browsers.
Just ask the admin nicely to turn on pop3/IMAP support. Of course this doesn't solve the fact that there is no calendering support =(
