How do you make that out?
We get about 100 murders a year in London (Pop approx 10 million), and at least half the victims are people who cheated in drugs deals: Don't expect to sell cleaning powder as cocaine and live.
Coal is not that cheap, and pollutes more than anything else
We have a few machines like Dinorwig
which feed peak demand from baseload generation.
We have a lot of windmills that are politically correct, but sited where they disfigure the environment, and generate no electicity at all, as far as I can see.
As a UK truck driver, I can say with confidence "I bet you would prefer me to look at the road than at a map!" Its not like there are convenient places to pull to the side of the road and look at a map. In country areas, if you stop, so do the 75 vehicles behind you.
Tele Atlas have a complete monopoly on GPS maps, why the $£%@ cant they be FORCED to put height and weight limits on their maps by the government, on pain of having their rights to sell removed.
Its not only me, I know a load of drivers who have e-mailed tomtom and the like over the last 7 years, asking for the ability to enter the fact that I am in a vehicle 40ft long and 16 foot high and 8 foot six wide on the screen and not be sent down 7 foot wide roads with 9 foot six high bridges.
We dont do it for fun. You try reversing it when you come to the restriction.
As for the arseholes who suggest fines:
(a) For most drivers the company pays, and a lot of the rest are based in east Europe, and would not pay anyway.
(b) No driver would go there if he knew how to avoid the problem. Its not about saving money or time, its about lack of info on the alternatives - how do we know the other road is better if its not shown as better?
Teleatlas could fix the problem but won't. regulation is needed.
I am going to create "PHP off the Rails" for developers of PHP websites. PHP developers will need no training, as most of them are off the rails already!
A few years ago, a subsidiary of the Ford Motor Company tried this on me. I did not take the job.
I was broke for over a year, but I still would not take jobs on conditions like that.
It was defintiley true in the days of thermionic valves - ie the 1950's.
It probably has not been true since the transistor was in common use for logic -
approximately 1968 if my memory is correct (highly improbable).
My profesiosnal testing shows that unless you havbe very expensive
professional equipment, your readings are probably +/- 30% accuracy.
Kill-a-watt is not expensive professional industrial test equipment.
If you are concerned about server power consumption, you should be
looking at OpenBSD on Sparc64, and not Vista on Intel. Since power
(including that required to get rid of waste heat) is the biggest cost
in a data centre, you should be worrying about it if you run a datacentre.
If you DONT run a datacentre, stuff the CPU, look at your AC costs!
Who cares if the processor is taking 50W or 58W when your AC is using 3kW!
Actually, eery user's impressions are created by Flash:
Some think Flash is essential to the web brousing experience and
a site without Flash is not worth the bother.
Others think that a site with flash is sure evidence of a triumph of style over content, and guarantees its not worth waiting for it to load.
Since Adobe choose not to support FreeBSD, its fairly clear that freeBSD users all fall in the second category.
You will have to do other analyses yourself.
OpenOffice is very very good. But not as good as MSOffice
Depends on what you consider "good".
In the past week I have had to get my wife and her cousin to sue OpenOffice to edit documents because Word was unable to edit them through over zelous attempts to geuss what we wanted to do and do that instead of what we did want!
I really tried hard to get Word to work, but it was impossible. Open Office did it strait away.
In both cases, the document ahd been generated by a third party using an unknown version of WOrd, and had embedded macros whos purpose was not documented or obvious.
Both are now fully aware that Word is sh*te, and fully persuaded that OO is the way to go. Their problem is that
their employers aare committed to Word, and theya re not in a position to argue.
I dont use linux, but I use FreeBSD on my desktop, and ahve done since version 4.3.
I would use linux if it was as good as FreeBSD. (I used to use Suse, and tried Ubuntu recently).
Nope - its saying that the majority of processing is not directly connected with I/O. Which means there are other tasks that handling I/O - and this comes as a surprise to who?
Nope. We need a solution involving cruise missiles though bedroom windows late at night.
We need Spam Assasin Ninjas clad in impregable black carbon-fibre capes with the knives of cutting edge technology and the deadly intent of artificial intelligence enhanced mania.
We need mountains of spammer bodies piled high on the forefront of technological .
We need chain gangs of spammers publicly televised chanting "The Only Good Spammer is a dead Spammer" to the sound of hammers hitting rocks.
IN Summary: Cruel and inhuman tortue is not enough for these guys
You won't be keeping your Fujitsu for 7 years: they stop supporiting the machines very soon compared to IBM/Lenovo.I had a lifebook,
and could nto get drivers for it when the newer verison of WIndos cale out (I think it shipped with 95, and would not run98, but I could be wrong).
I personally still use my T21 (but with FreeBSD now) and recently bought a T43, and I agree, I would find it difficult to buy another machine from Lenovo while the Chinese government fails to denounce people who intentionally shoot unarmed monks, but then as others have said, the Blackwater business was not a whole lot better. And you might want to check into human rights in Malasia (Mal Asia?) before you buy anything made there.
"Making Available" was originally used by shoplifters to explain that it was the fault of the supermarket that they stole the goods. Id did not stand up then (1940's?) and sure as hell won't now in most countries, on account of this "prior art". In the USA, YMMV.
Any teenage boy that does not see the search for porn as his main aim in life probably needs medical treatment.
A parent who does not know that has serious problems, and you do not want to be involved in giving advice
to them, as it will backfire badly. (I speak as parent of teenage son)
"A service based economy" is analagous to paying yourself to wash your own dishes as a method of earning the rent!
It fails top take into account that if you need to pay others for something, you need to earn the money from them and
not earn it from yourself. Taking money from your left pocket and putting it in the right pocet does not make you richer.
And you won't get rich by getting the commission on lending your money to people who are not economically viable, but have falsified the paperwork.

E-mail me some - we are paying $10 per gallon here in the UK (GBP 1.06 per litre)
You must be new here

Not unless you are selling panty-hoes.
The wiords you want are "it just works!"

Yes: the government is five times more likely to leak it!
I have yet to see a Yoruba version of Windows, let alone Efik or Ijaw. Window localisation for Nigeria? I dont think so
Chuck in a hard disk, sound card and USB port. Wicked!
Everyone knows "Only cruise misssiles will cure spam"
How about forcing backhanders from Symantec, etc to appear - these are the reason WinBoxen are cheaper than the Linux equivalent
I thought British European Airways was merged with Brisish Overseas Aorwasy to form Brisihs Air many years ago

Its just that this instance of "Mostly" does not include situations involving spam or M$.
