The official Office 2007 requires activation and it is rather more difficult at the moment to find a fully cracked version of 2007 than Vista and you would probably be blocked from Web content and updates. There is an alternative stgudent/home edition which is cheaper but it still goes for a $100 plus or so (lot of beer money to a student). For Office 2007, it is only really cheap if your institution has an agreement where students can get it for the price of media.
Israeli SOP used to be interview you and collect evidence, a second person then does the same and then the two consult with a superior who then either leaves it letting one of the juniors send you through or comes over to corroberate evidence. They will attempt to wind you up somewhat during the second interview, again this is SOP and the lack of raction leads to red-flagging.
After diving in Eilat, my dive log was checked, so was that of my dive buddy and the two interviewers compared notes.
Note that on flying out of Eilat, the procedure took so long we were waved through the metal detector and X-ray. After such an interview, it was probably unnecessary.
Flying from Seattle to Amsterdam on British Airways recently, I watched as their boarding pass barcode scanner went on the fritz. It appeared to be unable to scan about 25% of the E-ticket (printed at home most likely on an empty toner cartridge) passes. They had no backup procedures and simply waved passengers through when their passes didn't scan.
It depends on whether this was Seattle or wherever you connected, i.e., London. London BA is quite strict and checkin staff will check your name and seat from the boarding pass against the manifest (and your name against your passport). Any pax not boarded will be flagged and if they have checked baggage it will be offloaded. If Seattle was not doing this (or London for that matter), then complain. Loudly, please.
I loved the detail of the document. I also loved it that up until VMS 4.5, the standard distribution had most of the VMS source supplied on Microfiche. This meant if there was something not well documented (it occasionally happened), you just went to the source listings and had a look. However, even the documentation was good by itself.

The Itanium is now the chip, but frankly it sucks compared to Alpha. If development had continued with Alpha-AXP, it would be interesting to see where it would have got to. It was a very 'clean' design.
You young person, you. I remember the blue wall that predated the orange wall. Actually it wasn't even a wall in those days, just a 2/3 height cupboard.
Actually that was probably the secret. Once you started with an earlier version of VMS, to go to a newer one was just learning the additional material. By the same it got to VMS V4 onwards (Grey wall), the amount of material was pretty daunting and people tended to forget some of the standard library routines.
But DEC saw the idea, and it scared Ken so much that he campaigned against small PC's. His vision was a mini computer and you would "share time". He didn't "get it".
Heard of X-windows? A lot of this came out of DECwrl, and the DEC approach was networked. The thing about PCs at the time was that they lead to balkanisation of the workplace with an inability to share working methods and/or data. Networking on PCs largely sucked until NT. VMS was very expensive, but it just worked.
You forget that DEC was one of the original companies behind X-windows. Their concept of the networked device was excellent. Where they missed out was simply sales and marketing. Digital was justifiably proud of its engineering, both hardware and software, but it was almost impossible to deal with the company unless you were an expert yourself.
The hate for Unix was because of the perceived lack of engineering in early versions. It was an academic sandpit for may years until things settled down into the familiar world that we know now. Applications needed major rewrites to go between Unix variants.
VMS had one major advantage, there was a single concept behind it. It was expensive, but the libraries made sure that you could hop between programming languages without problems. The hardware was getting long in the tooth by the time they went RISC but Bob Palmer just tried to recover by selling off all the company silver.
Unlikely. Civillian flights have to follow flight-plans which constrains you to fixed corridors without much deviation allowed. Over Europe there was a big slice of heavily restricted airspace called the ADIZ where flights had to followed fixed paths and maintain contact with the appropriate ATC.
Most Soviet teaser missions were with straight military aircraft such as the "bear" bomber. No ambiguity there, they were clearly military aircraft and were marked as such. In any case the Russians would not put any high-tech military gear onto an aircraft that landed in an unfriendly country. They were paranoid about their technology (and how backwards it was at the time). What may have been confuing though are aircraft like the Tu-134 with a glass nose, looking very much like "Crusty", its bombing variant. These apparantly were dual-use and could be used for recon.
I lived and worked in Russia. In the early nineties there were a lot of genuine girls looking for a way out. By the later nineties there were so many scams involving the mail-order bride business. The thing is he was in Russia regularly on business and he could have met a lot of lovely ladies and go to know them properly (i.e., filter the gold diggers) before starting any long-term-relationship. I really have my doubts about Nina and the other guy.
Look, adding comments like that can mean very little other than just being a bit geekish. I seem to remember writing a comment like this (but not as eloquent) on tasklets in a transaction processor and I certainly hadn't killed anyone. Might be interesting to look at the revision history to see when the comment was written.
Why would the FSB be interested in him? Don't they know that ReiserFS is open source?
The FSB is interested in all foreign businessmen in Russia. They would find the DARPA research grant very interesting. The FSB doesn't *get* open source, they don't even understand software much but if Pentagon money is funding work in russsia, believe me, they will be interested.
Well, I don't see much of manhood in Hans Reiser's behaviour. He comes of as whiny and paranoid, accusing everybody but himself for his mistakes.
Parents deprived of access to their kids do go a bit strange. Intelligent people locked up in jail also go strange (there isn't much chance of mental stimulation there). He is no model of fatherhood but I would give Reiser the benefit of the doubt but he will not look good in front of a jury, especially after so long.
A friend of mine tried to buy a Dell notebook in Germany. First she didn't want to buy a machine with Vista, but that was not possible online. The only choises were Vista or pay more for Vista. At the end she decided to go with Vista and replace it with XP later.
I have ordered two laptops from Dell Germany this year and the first I ordered by phone and was able to request XP without problems and the second ordered more recently had the XP option on the website. I still spoke to the rep because you can always negotiate a little on price. Dell Germany do allow credit cards.
I wouldn't say that, it is just TBLs approach to the wide-adoption/reuse of his invention. In a way, the web could be said to be an outgrowth of many existing technologies (Gopher and the original hypertext), but it was so successful because all he did was not to seek patent or copyright protection, just lobbying for interoperability.
No the AGB is a generic terms and conditions of business, written by the business concerned. These can be written as generally as possible and can give a lot of room for abuse.

Fedora 7 Released

You want server level stability - no problem, you have RHEL or Centos.
However, I understand you. It used to be that we had functional releases followed by a series of patch releases. The patch releases would continue for much longer than the next functional release. Fed Legacy seemd to be an attempt in this direction but they ran out of bandwidth and there is always RHEL/Centos where they would rather push you.
On one hand, I'm v. sad to hear this, as it's a pretty good show nowadays. I can understand wanting to leave at the top rather than the bottom (Sylvester MacCoy anyone?); but it's definately could run a few more years before becomming tired.
At the time some senior staff in the BBC hated the show. They were playing all sorts of games to get the ratings down to the point where it could be killed. Eventually they managed to and on the back of ropey writing, a not very strong Doctor and continual schedule changes, they managed to lose an audience. Now, it is very different. Dr Who is *in*. It has a good audience profile, is an international seller and has merchandising. Together with Torchwood, it can also be taken to be minorities friendly covering variations of sexual orienattion as well as ethinicities. On the subject of which, it is made in Wales, not London or the home counties which brings the price down.
At least one major retail bank in the UK depends upon assembler. A study has been done on the effort to replace it with modern technology and it was found to be not feasible due to the effort involved.
For those remembering Red Dwarf, it was a future John F Kennedy dogged by a messy divorce and investigations over the Mafia who killed his younger self in his prime. This happened after they accidently changed time by eliminating Oswald.
All Dell server models have an OS-free variant. It comes with something like FreeDOS to run some diagnostics and, I guess so that Microsoft can't accuse them of selling a bare machine. They are really for sale to people who have volume licenses and admittedly, the same thing doesn't go for desktops or portables at the moment.

Good point and as the orbital parameters tend to be quite well known, smaller groups (i.e., guerillas/terrorists) can easily avoid them.

If you were paid according to Russian law, you would pay just 10% income tax. Thats all now.

...and Fox.
Last I heard, to get Sky, you must pay rather more than a UK TV licensing fee. Again and with lots of advertising.
