I recently made the switch to the 3 port version as well and could not be happier. I am pretty good at the cli but the GUI is sufficient for the initial setup and configuration as well. It can also offload vlans and routing to hardware so the performance is phenomenal as well.
Every time I put gas, I calculate the mpg by keeping track of the miles I've gone and how many gallons it took to fill up. Over time, one gets a rough estimate of driving patterns increase efficiency, or when something is wrong.
I doubt that have a fuel consumption display in prominent place would help. Even folks that don't pay too much attention to their fuel consumption now that this tank of gas didn't last as long as the others and yet, will not make any changes to their driving habits.
Of course, you are assuming people buy these HUGE SUVs to haul heavy loads. That does not seem to be the case for most people I know. It seems like hybrid SUVs would sell because people want the size and better gas mileage. Those that want to haul will continue to buy heavy duty diesel trucks.
Of course, this is a possibility. However, it doesn't matter if the company doesn't modify the source. The point of the AGPL is that if a user on the intranet uses this web service, then he or she is supposed to have access to the source. So even though company Y doesn't make any modifications, the source is still available, and in turn can distribute the source by the terms of the AGPL.
The source needs to be available to any employee who uses that web service. But yes, that employee may redistribute the source under the terms of the AGPL. But, even if that employee leaves and works for a competitor, that competitor will need to abide by the same terms.
What is really funny about that, when gmail was still in the "scarcity" stage, I asked anyone here on slashdot if they had an invitation and I got one. I am sure that anyone who wants a gmail account is able to get one. If there is a person that wants one and doesn't have any "friends" to send them an invitation, I am sure that there are several people who are more than willing to offer an invitation. Also, I do think its an excellent approach to prevent spambots from getting gmail accounts.
Although the article stated that if you had to choose web or e-mail (no webmail), what about forums like/. where its not webmail but serves as a bases for communication? It seems to me that forums like these would serve as an alternate to e-mail, but in a public way. Our e-mail is essential public already, the moment we hit send, but in forums like this, it is explicitly public. I wouldn't mind seeing forums for support issues rather than e-mail anyway.
Also, encrypting your mail has little affect if the NSA is collecting information on who you send mail to and who you receive mail from. Thus, building up a database, not of the content of e-mail, but your social connections. Thus, if AT&T is sending that type of information to the NSA, there is no real / practical way to precent that.
Sonny Bono was a Dem. and he got the Sonny Bono Copyright act passed in 1998 and signed by a Dem. president. I doubt that a Dem. president would help. Granted this is a slighty different issue but it is some how related. Don't forget who signed the DCMA, a Dem. president. I doubt that the RIAA will have much to fear.
What about the fact that on Comcast, you are not an equal node on the internet. First, you are not supposed to run any services like a web server. Second, they limit your upload bandwidth.
As long as the tiny percentage is chosen at random and adjusted slightly for those would have been chosen at random but are unable to participate, I don't see any thing wrong with this. Now, if you made the argument that there is a known bias with Nielson and that this tiny percentage of the potential audience is not random, then I would think you would have a valid point.
On the other hand, human life exhibits some characteristics that are currently beyond all scientific explanation. In particular, I am thinking of free will, conciousness, and self-awareness (which are all probably words for the same underlying phenomenon). No one has the slightest idea how these characteristics arise in a human (and, puzzlingly, don't seem to in any other form of life).
I must admit that our current understanding of scientific knowledge may not explain these characteristics that seem to arise in human beings. However, I have full faith that in the future, science will will be able to explain what this phenomenon. If this universe is truly objective and something that we can learn from, then science will eventually be able to explain free will, consciousness, and self-awareness. However, it might also be the case that these are truly illusions that do not exist in the first place and that is our humanness that makes it appear that we have such things.
Also, imagine a being whose intelligence is a magnitude higher than our own. To this being, it may seem that the creatures on Earth do not appear to be consciouses, self-aware, or be free under their own will at all. From this beings perspective, we could be all just reacting to our chemical processes that take place on a daily basis and all our decisions based on some concept that we have yet to understand.
Meaning, that we should not attribute a lack of free will, consciousness, and self-awareness to other creatures here on Earth because of our lack of understanding.
On average, Windows applications do not utilize the full Windows API. So, as long as Wine implements the part of the API that most applications use, then all is good. I think this release means that if one takes an average windows application, most likely it is going to work is someway. Of course, if one has an obscure application that hardly anyone uses, AND it calls parts of the API that are not implemented, I suspect that application will still fail in some way; however, I think that this case is rare. Thus, if you have an obscure application that fails, this is the time to let the Wine team know about it so that case can be handled effectively, i.e. implement that part of the API that is lacking.
I always thought that the reason these films were released directly to DVD was because after they did some testing, they realized that it would be too expensive to release in a theater and to make a profit, they needed to brought directly to DVD. I don't they were made to go directly to DVD, but had to as a last resort to make any profit.
I must admit, I did not realize that "Equilibrium" only came out on DVD, I always thought I missed it on the big screen, but now I think it is a gem.
And lets not forget the obvious military applications. Depending on your personal perspective, it may be a good or bad thing to have a race of creatures bred purely to fight our wars for us. Personally I am in favour of having them, because the sad tuth is that if "we" don't, "they" will, and the only time tested method to ensure peace is a balance of powers. And realistically folks, its only a matter of time.
I would be more worried that "they" would in turn fight "us" and since they were bred for war, "they" would have a slight advantage. Of course, we have a slight advantage too, weapons that we develop. Besides, if it came to us keeping up with the Jone's military, I would try to get "them" to fight their creator's first, then when they are weakened, despite their victory, we take them out with any means necessary.
In addition, whoever points out that Godwin's law applies to the thread is also considered to have "lost" the battle, as it is considered poor form to invoke the law explicitly.
Oops! I guess I am following bad form as well, but oh well.
Why would the White house dismiss the question? Have you read the transcript? Muffled answered the question. If anything, he was more prepared than the reporter was.
I did not actually say that the White House would dismiss it, only that it would be easier to do so if they so desired. They could use the fact that it was an "embedded" reporter to question the creditability of the soldier who felt that the Army is not doing enough to armor their vehicles because it appears, like Rumford answered, that they are doing what needs to be done to armor their vehicles.
I will admit that I did not read the whole transcript until now, thank you for providing the source. However, Rumsfeld answered the question by stating that "Since the Iraq conflict began, the Army has been pressing ahead to produce the armor necessary at a rate that they believe - it's a greatly expanded rate from what existed previously, but a rate that they believe is the rate that is all that can be accomplished at this moment."
Yet, several days later, we are learning that a company that provides armor for the Army is only at half its capacity. One of many news articles that reflect this can be found here. Of course, logistics is only part of the problem, but the fact that question was phrased by a journalist compromises the perceived necessity of the armor for their vehicles. To me, this means that the problem is not going to be addressed.
The war in Iraq is going piss poor. If nothing else, read the press (one good thing that happened was the PR show that went poorly for Rumsfeld led to Bush finally stepping up better equipment).
It turns out that an "embedded" reporter had helped frame the question for Rumsfield. However, even if that is true, the question did garner a applause from other soldiers, so it would not be too far from the truth. But, it was still misleading and may ruin the creditably of the question, making it easier for the Whitehouse to dismiss it.
The problem is, he should never have been asked that question. It was a political disgrace that it was even brought as a question during a time when he was under oath. Sure, his opponents siezed on the oportunity to crusify him because they are the ones who set it up. They knew he couldn't admit he was getting bj from some intern.
I know no man who would've had an affair and then if asked about would tell the truth unless there was overwhelming reason to do so. Clinton should have told the truth and the whole scandal would have vaporized. He is not the first president to have an affair.
I think you are right in your rationale, however, I think you are missing the next logical step. When the powerless "understand" the powerful they are more than willing to mimic the powerful so they in turn appear to be powerful. If that is indeed the case, how much more worthy is their coverage of the U.S.?
Everything the U.S. does in its policies are going to be wrong and criticized (maybe rightfully so) while these same less powerful nation states are using the same techniques our media is using to spin the truth to their advantage.
I think in either case one must weary of how they are being manipulated by both sides.
Although technically true, there are a lot of people in Africa who don't know that unprotected sex is the cause of their illness despite the education campaigns. There is cultural difference that I cannot claim to understand that prevents the natives from believing our educators that were sent over there that claim that this is why they are dying.
When I see these studies, I also pause and wonder whether these scientist are trying to rationalize their beer/wine intake. If their wives or husbands get after them for wanting their "one" drink-a-day, they can point to their studies and say that science proves that this is good for me! Of course, drinking is moderation is good, too much of anything may be harmful. At least that has been my experience. All this article does in reinforce little but of knowledge. Jonathan

Yeah, you're right. That still does not change the fact the Clinton signed it.
