I can send you a Dataset for your application needs or I can send you All of the data in a series of flat files that you can then manipulate with code/import to relational database.
I reject the XML self documenting data paradigm, it's just not applicable to most business processes. You are relying on the originating XML document to follow your own in house rules.
I want my data clean and neat and then I work my magic with it.
My senior year at high school, we were supposed to build a float for the high school parade. Instead, we built a 10 foot high paper mache penis and placed it on top of the school right over the principal's office.
I've been using a Franklin EBookman and then Rocket 1100 since 1999. I've read hundreds of books on them. The battery life on the Franklin sucked and the problem was compounded when a capacitor in it leaked and I would lose my data when I changed batteries(NIHM AAA's). I bought the Rocket a couple of years ago and am actually quite happy with the battery life. I can read a novel at night for several days(Couple hours before bed) before recharging. More life is definately better and I do not travel and read with it much.
The Sony Reader looks great, but my 2 issues at first glance are:
-Backlighting : This about kills it for me. I almost exclusively read at night in bed and this doesn't wake the wife up. Seems like with all of the very bright/low power LED's that run for a year off a watch battery they could have worked something out. Maybe backlighting just isn't compatible with EInk.
-Screen Size : This thing is a good bit larger than my Rocket, but looks just short of being able to handle a pdf. If I could fit several computer manuals on this thing, I might forget about backlighting
This is pretty cool and combined with Adblock+ really keeps the noise down.
ESPN.com, which I stopped visiting when possible before Adblock now sends all links through x.go.com which is filtered out by this HOST file. Had to edit that one out.
I wonder if this is intentional by ESPN.
As things like these become more prevelant, some sites might just start setting up a proxy for their ad content so that it appears to come from the main content domain. The only option to avoid ads then will be to stop using the site.
Are there really companies that force you to take certification courses when you're already employed, even though you can just learn what you need on the job?
I'm sure there are some companies that Require certification. However, I have two friends at two different large companies that had optional company paid certification courses And they got raises upon obtaining each certification.
I couldn't find a NTP website, but the article said they were a small company.
Why don't the just take the damn $450 million and run? Are they holding out for $500M? $1 Billion? Are they actually going to make RIM take their product out of US market? That would seem to hurt them as well.
I was browsing for this post before I made it myself. This article from 'RFID Journal' is complete bunk.
There is actually a 4-Tier income stream from Movies:
Theater->Rental->PPV->TV
This is done for a reason. As stated in the parent, they are not going to release a movie on DVD at the same time it is released in theaters regardless of some fancy RFID encryption. When we go to the theater we pay ~$7.50 or more Each Person. There is no way to control how many people view a DVD release, even on one fancy RFID enabled player.
Consider you buy one of these fancy DVD players and SW3 has just released. You could pay $10(high) for the RFID enabled DVD and have a party with 30 of your friends to watch the new movie at your house the day of it's release..33/person. 30 people would generate $225(@7.50 each) at the theater.
So let me get this straight. You have never met your great great grandma, but the pictures of her in her younger years show that she was one hot babe. You decide to go back in time and do her?
I think this statement is being misinterpreted. He's being sarcastic. Like Dvorak or not, he's Not That Dumb.
He's saying his system is unresponsive with 95% System Idle Process, so surely something else is going on and not being reported in Task Manager. I too(and which Win user hasn't) have experienced slowdowns and other wierdness that Task Manager does not explain.
It's definately an advancement over the remote(actually 2) that I used in the early eighties.
I had a small TV at the foot of my bed, it was one of the old kind with knobs.
I cut a notch into the end of a broom stick that I used to Turn(there's a word that stuck) the channel. Later added a clapper for power.
OK, the best I can tell now is that I have been misinformed.
It looks like the worst that can happen is that if you don't catch it within 2 days the losses go from $50 to $500.
Definately not an account drain.
There are other reasons not to use Debit Card as described in the link I provided.
A point(which slightly got sidetracked by this thread) is that I buy things online with Credit Cards all the time and do not really fear about fraud. You always have that 60 day window.
Government regulations require debit card issuers to set a maximum liability of $50 if the debit card is reported lost or stolen within two days of discovery. If your card isn't lost or stolen, your liability is $0.
Please post a link to info about that regulation. As I said in my post, the $50 is for Credit Cards. Some banks are now offering the same protections on Debit Cards as Credit Cards, but it is not law. Here's a link I should have included in my original post. I listen to Clark howard all the time on Radio here in Atlanta and he's is constantly slamming debit Cards.
It might sound "cute", but it's the best way to protect your privacy - not to mention your bank account.
I agree with the privacy, if you really don't want your purchases tracked.
The key with Credit Cards, though, is to use a Real Credit Card and not a Debit card. Almost all(it may even be a law?) Credit Card fraud, your only responsable for $50. If your Debit Card get stolen, thieves can Drain Your Account and you have no recourse. It's gone.
The built in toolbars can be turned on/off, moved around and organized just how you like. Restart the program and your settings are remembered.
I actually would not mind this toolbar being there. I even used it occasionally. But this thing does not behave like all the other tool bars. Turn it off or move it, restart program and Bam, there it is right back on the top row of toolbars pushing all the others down one line and reducing my view of the document.
It is a very annoying POS, so I just uninstalled it.

Every time I have to interface with with XML, I just groan.
It's extensible, rah rah.
It's self documented, rah rah.
rah rah blah blah
It's way over-hyped, unnecessary in most cases and way over used.
Give me a DB connection or a flat file, period.

The odds of these dolphins escaping with the harnesses on is about 0%.
It would be the 1970's all over again

In that situation I would definately take them.
You could build some sort of settlement, but it would always have to be enclosed. The resources and conditions are just not right for atmospheres.
Why don't the just take the damn $450 million and run? Are they holding out for $500M? $1 Billion? Are they actually going to make RIM take their product out of US market? That would seem to hurt them as well.
It's only 1500 mAh, your average NiMH AA is at 2300 mAh each. This battery must be puny.
An external battery pack would be a cool option. 2 AA's in a small tube with wire could provide nearly 10 hours.
The very first hit led me to these two devices which seem to fit the bill exactly.

A bike won't do. We need something with a wrist strap.

Not going to happen!

Yea, I clicked the link and all I got what a blank page with the word "Quijibo" on it.
