And much better than speakers is a decent set of headphones. Cans will beat speakers costing several times as much. Get a pair of cheaper Sennheisers (HD487's) or Grado's (SR 60's) which come in well under the $100 mark but will just blow you away with their awsome sound quality if you are used to anything but an audiophile setup. From there you might get into some of the more expensive models but these are great for me and I'm used to studio monitors.
Look at the THD numbers and you will understand why discrete components are better. In fact doing the A/D conversion outside the RF noisy PC case is even better, which is why Pro and semi-pro boards have the adac's on breakout boards and just do the DSP stuff in the case.
Actually as of windows 2000 you can run program as an arbitrary user on the system so long as you know the login and password information. I make use of this when checking out programs that I am unsure of. I copy them to the single directory where my locked down user has permissions and run them as that user. The problem is that this isn't yet an easy thing to accomplish for a novice. What would be nice would be a run as "nobody" type option, and better yet would be for Outlook to run all attachments like this as the default behaviour.
Actually because of the kind of glue used as an adhesive in most duct tape it isn't very good for sealing ducts. The glue degrades in the presence of heat and moisture, both of which are in abundance in a most ducting situations. Instead a flexible plastic hose with metal ring clamps should be used.
The Power4 has 128MB of L3 cache, to get comparable performance to a Power4 the G5 needs considerably higher clock speeds. Also Sun hasn't been competitive in the single and dual CPU workstation market for some time. The only things they had going for them were large memory support and large CPU scalability, now everyone is getting large memory support with the transition to 64bit so they only have large cpu counts to fall back on.
Because software is copied by copyright and hardware is covered by patents. With physical devices you own them merely by possessing them, the only limitation is that you may not create copies and sell those copies. Software and other ephemeral things are covered by copyright and because the idea is the posession you must obtain a liscense to own it, hence the origional author has more controll over your ownership.
Canon is close, although they don't sell or condone refills they do nothing to prevent it. If you get really cheap, shitty cartridges it will clog the print heads which are basically the same to replace as getting a new printer, but there is SOME reason that the manufacturer inks are expensive.
Then you haven't seen the right photo-printers. The new range are incredibly good. In fact the output of my friends HP when printing photos from his D60 are impossible to distinguish from a photo-print without a loop. This is up to 17*something inches.
Denatured alchohol which has the H2O stripped chemically can get to 99.9+% pure. It's a real bitch to do and is too expensive to make it practical for drinking (no one sane drinks 96% stuff straight anyways so whats the point?). Lab quality alchohol is often extremely pure like this but it has to be kept sealed because it will pull water out of the air and drop back down to around 96% purity rather quickly.
Can you list some bugs please? I have used Mozilla as my sole email client for several years now and had no problems. This includes multiple incoming account using both POP and IMAP (had some problems with IMAP but they were servers not following the RFC's correctly and were fixed with a server patch once the vendor was notified), multiple SMTP accounts including one using SSL, multiple LDAP accounts, etc.
Umm, THIRD DEGREE BURNS, we aren't talking a little hot here, we are talking beyond scalding. It's not like she's the only one, hundreds of people a year were injured due to McD's practices. They had settled with most of those other people but for some reason thought this nice old lady wasn't deserving despite the fact that she had to have skin grafts and spend a week in the hospital. McD's KNEW their coffee was too hot and yet was not going to post warnings or change their practices, which is exactly what punitive damages are for. Besides the reward was scaled back to under half a million, not chump change but nothing that McD's can't afford, the bad publicity probably cost them many times that, as it should have.
Scientific American is a good laymens science magazine, though they rarely cover products so much as actual advances in the sciences. Basically I think of it as the digest version of Nature =)
No, in LEAP the AP must authenticate to the RADIUS server and the password is never transmitted, rather a cryptographic hash is sent. No link in the authentication chain is trusted for just that reason.
802.11(a,b,g) can be made secure by 802.1X today and by 802.11i going forward. 802.1X sidesteps the weaknesses of WEP by only using keys for a short duration (typically ten or fewer minutes) and using different keys per user. This keeps the amount of data transmitted using any given key low enough that the weakness of WEP becomes moot because there is insufficient data for the key to be weakened (the origional paper talked about gigs of data which would take many many hours to collect even on a near saturated.11b link). In addition 802.1X implements TKIP which is basically per packet hashing to thwart playback or insertion techniques. Basically 802.1X is Cisco's LEAP opened up and standardized for the whole industry. For the most secure of installations Cisco still recommends using VPN over wireless, but then they also recommend it for wired networks in some situations =)
registering NIC's is worthless because MAC spoofing is trivial, so definitly go with 802.1X. Do your homework on hardware and you shouldn't have much problems, most businesses don't have the problems of mixed equipment and OS's that a university does.
Either that or cool your apartment. It's not just the AP that's suffering from the heat, every component, and especially PSU's and HDD's HATE heat. That's why datacenters are cooled to the point where it's uncomfortable to be in them with short sleves. Btw Cisco makes a rugedized AP, when I worked with the guys at Aironet they had a report of a rudigized AP that was in a NEMA enclosure on the top of a flat tar roof in Saudi Arabia! I doubt your flat gets hotter than that =)
Hate to respond to myself but I decided to do some reading, and Amazon may potentially have a problem with 17USC512(C)(1)(B) "does not receive a financial benefit directly attributable to the infringing activity, in a case in which the service provider has the right and ability to control such activity; and"
but Corbis is really going to be slapped around by the judge for not following ANY of the procedures set forth for copyright holders under 17USC512. Basically they didn't try to use any of the methods at their disposal to stop the infringing activity but instead ran directly to court, judges generally frown upon this as it ties up the courts with what is usually needless actions (or else the remedies wouldn't be in the code).
Isn't part of the requirements of breaking copyright law (which is a civil tort in most cases) willfull violation?? How could Amazon be breaking copyright law if they did not know that the images were copyrighted? Is a bookstore liabel if they obtain pirated copies of a book through a legitimate reseller with no knowledge or reasonable expectation that the copies are not genuine articles? Otherwise there is a hell of a hole in the law where you are liabel for up to $150K per work for doing nothing wrong other than failing to do an exhaustive search for any copyright holders.
The skunkworks and Area 51 have been basically shut down for years. It is too accessible and has become too popular as a tourist destination to have true clandestine activities performed there. Most of the stuff formerly performed at Area 51 has been moved to Vandenberg AFB because of better ability to assure exclusion of non-authorized personel from observing the runways
Hmm, kinetic kill weapons guided by satelites delivered from space, sounds a lot like THOR from Niven and Pournelle's Footfall. Coincidently the book was on top of my monitor for easy check of the project name =)

Have you tried to do an ipconfig /flushdns when this occours (or equivilant on your OS)
better yet use ghostscript, redmon, and freepdf and save $20 =)

HP color laserjets tell you which cartridge is low or needs replaced, and when you open the top it will even rotate the carousell to that cart.

Contrast, lack of motion blur, color correctness, resolution. LCD's lack in all of these areas VS CRT's.
