I wish I shared your experience. I live in Phoenix and i can't even walk across the living room without interrupting the signal. Also, instead of getting partial snow or a possibly wavy picture you get nothing, or at best blocks of your picture.
My solution? Download them. I watch two shows and I can buy the dvd's when the next season starts.
Right. Additionally this is a teaching concern. If the teacher is so concerned with cheating that they are willing to go to such great lengths to prevent it then perhaps they would best be counseled by their peers.
This seems to be a case of the teacher being too lazy to mix things up from year to year. Additionally (Especially at a college level) You are paying for that class, and those notes are one of the few means available to re-study the material from. If I got wiff of this ahead of time, my notes would be at home. If necessary - I would negotiate a review of the situation with the teachers boss before agreeing to anything, and that teacher would basically have to take my backpack off me to get at my notes, which I will likely assume to be a form of assault and respond in kind (which means pushing their arm away and leaving (Hey - this isn't my house, I have to retreat before striking back))
This happened to me, only i probably appeared to be the kid with the sniffles.
Only Urgent care thought I had a ruptured appendix when it was really the stomach flu.
It's not the ER's fault for admitting me with a sense of urgency in this case - However the Urgent care doctor did not completely diagnose me and sent me off asap (Probably because it was close to closing time)
So, while visibly I was shaking, pale, and couldn't speak without being interrupted with sharp stomach pains - I certainly had less obvious wounds like a broken leg. Did I feel bad about it afterwards? Yea - but I would never have gone to the ER in the first place, that's why I went to urgent care.
I guess the moral of my story is: You probably don't know anything about that kid with the sniffles or whatever their given circumstances were and should at least keep that in mind while being resentful of the system. (And yea - my insurance got RAPED. I paid 80$ to the ER and the bill was over 8000. Then again I had to pay Urgent care 60$ for a copay and 120 in bloodwork that they didn't even use and 10 minutes of bed time)
In the same way that you cannot *prove* that a tree falling in the woods with nobody around to hear it doesn't make a sound, therefore we must assume it doesn't?
I think you're focusing too much on the negative assumption. I can say with certainty that a tree falling while being observed makes a sound. I can determine that this sound is from vibrations, and even pinpoint the source of the vibrations and replicate them. To take this a bit farther, I can come visit the tree after wards and witness the effects of it having fallen. Basically I have no reason to believe it didn't make a sound since there is evidence to the contrary. To believe the tree didn't make a sound would be a lot more akin to believing in a higher power. Except for the evidence to the contrary, of course.
The question itself is often taken out of context. One is referring to the perceived universe and the other to the real thing.
But really - why focus on god? Aren't the meaningful effects of religion what people choose to do with them? Using your religion as a basis to harm people is bad, but using it as a basis to help people is probably good. Why? The end result. If you're a good person, I commend whatever inspired you to be as such.
You know what else is faster? Gui improvements. In 5 minutes of testing, I've found one.
A gripe of mine has always been how easy it is to get to windows explorer by right-clicking and exploring the start menu, but how utterly annoying it is to collapse everything.
And finally! It is fixed! Right-clicking the start button in Win7 gives an option to open Windows Explorer - which conveniently brings up a neat and mostly collapsed view - yielding easy access to your documents and My Computer (and therefore any other place on your computer you would like to go to)
Given that a lot of my computer work involves computers I have no control over, with dozens of windows open (that wish to remain open) this will be a huge productivity increase for me... when all of my supported systems are moved to Win7 in the coming years. Or would be, since my job ceases to exist soon - but it may very well be important in whatever else I do in life too.
So that, one day, when you're in a horrible accident or find yourself with some incurable disease, or grow old and brittle, that pot you've been contributing to can afford to pay for it. Since you have no way of knowing what your lifetime medical expenses will be, you pay for Insurance. It isn't like medical insurance covers 100% of your cost either. Personally I'm not getting allergy prescriptions because I can't afford 80$ a month for the rest of my life. Oh yea - prescriptions aren't magically covered 100%...
Car insurance rates vary based off your statistical risk, but no one pays nothing.
Unfortunately, I know all too many people who don't feel they should pay more because they consume less. "Why should I pay through the nose for Insurance when I haven't used it for anything but checkups in 10 years?"
Not only that, but you can stop administering chemotherapy and your body recovers. There is no known way to stop your immune system from attacking your body without leaving you open to all kinds of shit...
I am a bit worried about how close cancer cells are to regular cells... Could this cause complications where the immune system goes after the rest of the body?
It has been my experience that recalling a message does nothing if that person opened the e-mail already, even in Outlook. I tend to process mine as I get them, and as they load at the beginning of the day. Very often recalling a message does not prevent me from seeing that note, but it does at least let me know it was in error.
But this is pretty bad. hrader ? eralier? I can easily pick out the second due to sentence structure, but I'm not sure if the first one is actually even a word without consulting google, because it could potentially be tech jargon.
It's most likely header... but damn. I'm sure they know how to spell these words as they are pretty clearly typos, but I only type that bad after more than a few (read 6 or more) shots of something stiff.
Err - I'm working while typing this, and clearly it is detrimental. I forgot to actually make the point I wanted! I Apologize.
The biggest drawbacks to Vista are UAC and performance. UAC can be turned off and it seems like they really are making a Genuine attempt to increase Windows 7's responsiveness. If it lives up to the hype I guess I don't see any reason -not- to upgrade.
Also - 8 gigs of ram is overkill.. I've maxed it out once... and it froze, but usually it sits around 2. That being said, even running a 32bit app in a 64bit os with lots of ram has the advantage of letting that application use its full 3 gigs, and this is nice for games like Supreme Commander. You might be able to get microsoft to give you a 64bit copy of xp if you don't already have one though - I remember seeing something on their site offering it as a free upgrade.
Well - I'm using Vista because I have to. XP bluescreens and I haven't been able to fix it... But it does have some nice features.
1) If you aren't using 64bit it's a decent time to move over - just make sure you can find 64bit soundcard drivers - because that's the only thing i've ran into issues with.
2) It's nice to see the speed network transfers are going with
3) The 3d interface is really pretty cool. I can't say that it helps my productivity but it does not hurt it.
4) DirectX 10 - it's coming, eventually. I don't know of any games that only exclusively use it but games like Age of Conan do have the option.
5) You can run 3d apps on a second monitor without slowdown (If you're into wow multiboxing - this should be useful)
Ok - so that Might spare it from being collateral damage of whatever the latest worm might be, but that does nothing to prevent the hospital from being compromised when targeted. Since such a change would likely be wide spread (To create sufficient demand for software customizations) you aren't even getting much more diversity than you get now...
Even when you enable rightclicking in javascript, it will work - but you'll still get a menu. I'm not really placing blame - but it was a sufficient annoyance to deter me.
I recently stopped playing wow - but if you go to the site and open the talent calculator you get a menu when rightclicking (to remove a talent) - and it flat out doesn't work unless you enable right-clicking in java script (IIRC).
I'm sure there's a reason they did this, but I don't know it... Wow is pretty popular too. Personally, I switched from IE to Firefox when two things happened. 1) I saw a need (which came well before 2 btw) and 2) Websites worked reasonably well for an alternative: Firefox. I haven't noticed anything but a few legacy websites at work that Firefox isn't compatible with.. maybe I'm just looking in the wrong places
Anyway, I evaluated using Opera some time ago and this was more or less a deal breaker for me, since I had no need to stop using Firefox for something that couldn't do something I used frequently.
Hardware will also cause weird (sometimes inconsistent) quirks - but that will affect both linux and windows... Generally, shitty programs shouldn't crash the operating system however.

They do, however, have monthly bandwidth limitations. So you cannot saturate the connection the entire month.

Realistically, your notes may well be in the shredder by now anyway.

I knew about the win+d - but it only brings the windows back up until you do something. However you're right, win+e is marvelous =) Thanks guys.

As a sniffling, sneazing, waking up with a faucet on my face and puffy eyes comrade - I hope so too.

and Aftermarket Heatsink. My 8800GTX runs just fine tyvm.
The thing really is though is that the Core2 and the X2 really are still "good enough". Most people really are not dieing for a faster PC.
I'd love to play supcom and not lag =/
Something tells me I need more than an I7 to do that, however...
