How well did they rate "Using non-standard hardware." Including printers, laptops, and virtually unknown brands of cdroms, ethernet devices, win modems (Ok maybe this one doesn't matter much anymore), windows keyboards (how much function can you get out of those functions), etc.
I'd like to know how well speed step performs in linux. Can a laptop hibernate if it needs to? On my i8k in Mandrake it allows either battery or external power. If I plug in / detach the cord, the computer freezes (although the battery does kick in because whatever was on screen stays on screen). I can only assume everything worked by the high ratings given. Also I can assume from the ratings that the system instantly recognizes when any new USB/Firewire/PCMCIA device is hotswapped, and in most cases can identify it. Right? I mean, I did see the word "excellent" so I think it should at least be equal with Windows.
No, I've patented the fact that the absense of noise is silence. Every phone will soon be equipped with elevator music, lest they may stumble over my claim.
They can't sue me either because I patented the fact my whole stance on the issue is retarded.
That link proposses that police are called cops because to 'cop' is to steal. I thought police were called cops because their badges were originally copper, so they were called coppers.
Doesn't "terrorism" imply a very specific intention in the crime? I'm not going into whether the reason for a crime should affect the sentence, but surely it affects what you call it! This is like confusing manslaughter with wrongful death with first/second degree murder.
Terrorism is disruption of public services? So if bus drivers in a city strike, they're terrorists. If someone plays a prank on a local pool causing them to close, they are a terrorist.
This is one of the many words that take on new meanings every week. Someone define this thing before it goes even more out of control. While the person did interrupt emergency services, what was their intent? Or is every public nuisance now a terrorist act?
24 GHz would be a cycle time of 41.7 ps. For just about everyone, that's longer than the setup time plus hold time of a flop, making it impossible to do any logic in any given cycle. There is also the possibility of only listening to every other clock, but then it really wouldn't be 12 ghz.
Unless someone's at least ten years ahead in tech out there?
Any computer I am in charge of with Windows, the first thing I do is disable every "visual feature" (aka performance degrader) and strip the OS as bare as possible. Do I want to view a directory as a webpage? Fuck no. I don't want to view it as a 3d studio max file either! It's bad enough that simply highlighting any media file in explorer makes the system read the file (even if no preview is enabled). Want to max out your processor? Rename a file so that it's.avi and highlight it in explorer (I assume this will work because a broken AVI will do it).
Have you ever installed linux? You might notice something: it comes with programs. However, it comes with competing products for every application (if they exist). SO, IMHO MS Windows should come in two forms: bare boned, and overflowing. I want non-ms replacements for: The shell, the desktop, explorer, IE, control panel, calculator and everything else located under "programs" upon installation. I also want a repository online run by Microsoft which holds both MS and non-MS free/shareware products to download.
I'd also like source code to every component. I know, ha-ha.
I didn't wretch the first time. No, I'm not a horrible monster, I just take everything in stride. Sure I played doom2 but I don't think that did it. I haven't seen a lot of scary movies so it's not that.
Must we have an irrational reaction to a disgusting crime to be human?
Some grocery stores have a big problem: too much money. Many have armored vans making more than one run a day just to get the cash the hell out of there. By making a debit purchase with cash back, you are taking the liability of hard assets, and realistically you aren't taking the small bills they usually make change with.
However, I wouldn't ever go into a grocery store and get a small item and demand a lot back unless I was desperate. I regularly make ~ $25 purchases and take out $30 to $60. I don't think anyone minds.
No, the alternative to that is a used car, a different car, public transportation, or walking depending on the situation. All create the desired effect: getting from point a to point b.
Now what's the desired effect of buying a CD? Listening to a specific artist's (or specific collect of) music. What are the alternatives? Listening to radio stations for hours hoping that some song other than the most popular one is played, and hoping to hear more than one every few hours.
You agreed to pay the price. Nobody held a gun to your head and forced you to buy those CDs.
Ok compare to right now. There is still massive price fixing, and the alternative (downloading the music) results in what? Being sued. Wait, someone remind me what it's called when you put someone in a position where someone's best choice is breaking a law? Oh yeah!
extortion n.
2. Illegal use of one's official position or powers to obtain property, funds, or patronage.
3. An excessive or exorbitant charge.
Wait wait I think I can find more!
racketeer n.
A person who commits crimes such as extortion, loansharking, bribery, and obstruction of justice in furtherance of illegal business activities.
OOh I can squeeze another one out!
entrap v.
2) b. To lure into performing a previously or otherwise uncontemplated illegal act.
Yes, actually:)
If it's printed, it needs to look nice and you can make it with anything you want. If they need a file, you almost always need it in doc format. If you're a linux user, it shouldn't be too hard to get it translated by someone--- you shouldn't have to do it more than once every few months (at worst). They're are a wealth of good resume style examples online, and while you can make a text file look similiar in notepad/vi/emacs, it doesn't exactly show effort.
Some places do want you to just paste your resume into a dialog box, then they sweep through with a script trying to categorize what you wrote (such as Intel). These scripts never work quite right (such as Intel).
Anyway I gotta run. You can find a list of all the fatal resume errors online, as well as good style examples. Time to get to work! (Intel;)
Maybe you have a "fatal error" on your resume. Go over it with someone. Mine was not pleasing to look at originally, so it was thrown out when compared to people with equal skills (they can only interview so many, so if when they get 400 good resumes, they need to cut based on something).
Also if you talk to someone first, your skills may matter a little less. What it comes down to is you'll acquire any skills you don't have. If they don't see you first, they can't be sure you will be a fast learner. However if your resume is stellar but you don't meet their requirements, they may still be interested. Sometimes you can tell character by the resume (what do you have listed for activities/memberships,etc?)

of these threatening severity levels. I will install no patch less severe than "orgasmic" or possiblity "chocolicious".
... my watch. No matter how many times I reset it I'll always be early for meetings.

I just buy a new printer whenever I run out of ink.
It costs less.
It more resembles a cow. Of course I assume you are referring to the rare cow without wings.
You're wrong. You need to read it in the original Klingon.

WRONG! Flash is for..
Remixing songs
Music videos
Hitting penguins
Reading emails

Anyone know which reason is correct?
Some company called Microsoft was trying to steal a government operating system, so the CIA fed them a bogus version....

There's another story that has detail on how the spacewalk went: a suit malfunction caused the spacewalk to end prematurely.
Will these wardrobe malfunctions never cease!?!?

OR you could use FireFox and not give a damn. I just highlighted the text and opened it in a new tab.
While you're creating links for those with IE, maybe you should create text versions of pages for people stuck on Lynx.
