Yea, well...monitors are nice, and so are women - but beyond two or them (or one really nice one) and most of us don't know what to do with all of them.
Just hand them over and I'll worry about what to do with them. I could use another monitor....what? You thought I was referring to the women? What am I going to do with two women?
The F-150 survives better in a crash than an Escort. Somehow I have a feeling that all the versions of Vista have an equally likely chance of crashing and not surviving.
Not to mention that when you buy a car there are Options and there are Standard items even among all the variations of a particular model. With Windows you pick your variation of your model (Vista) and then that's it; no more choosing Options because there aren't any because everything is Standard.
The beauty is these units will spill the ammonia outsie through the exhaust should the coils ever rupture (I doubt it since they are about 1/8 in thick copper:) Designed well, and built like German tanks.
We might even be able to read between the lines 100 years from now and insert text like "separation of church and state" into various documents where it never existed before in order for some people to get their way about things and of course by that time no one would be around from this time to contradict the meaning.
Anyone know why MS isn't hearing of any copyright/trademark problems due to the WebCT (it creates school communities) application having a new version called Vista?
But, If you mean getting linux installed so that it can interface with my digital camera, connect seamlessly with my palm handheld, read my SD cards without playing games, or play encrypted DVD's without installing extra libraries.... then I'd have to disagree with you. All these things are much easier to get done in Windows.
Not that this point of view matters much to you but to people who have no idea how to use some of those items already, Linux and Windows would be equally hard to setup, but I'm probably stating the obvious.
You also upset the millions of peole who are against it. Since I voted for Bush I'm glad I'm getting what I voted for so thanks for backing me up on it.
for an object to continue to do something when it never even started to perform the action to begin with. Our brain is the same now as it always has been. If natural selection/evolution were plausible then humans would be the only species on this planet. There would be the need for only 1 species at a time to exist which would be the fittest one. As it stands, there are obviously more than just humans that exist on this planet so therefore natural selection is not at work since many forms of intelligence can exist without the lesser ones dying out.
Buy another 500GB drive and either hook it up only when performing backups and then unplug it so it is not always spinning or just run it harder and leave it plugged in all the time but only use it for backups.
awwwww. I don't feel for anyone involved in this. People need to learn to keep their money instead of wasting it because they think they can hit it big. But it gives so much money back to the state...yeah, at the cost of people who don't have the self control to keep their money. Gambling should not be an excuse to rake in money for the state in place of real taxes.
I am angrier over the fact that city officials did nothing(they didn't call in National Guard from other states even when those Guardsmen were ready) and they are the ones who are actually supposed to be in charge when things like that happen. The President can come by, visit, and comfort people to show that he is willing to be down in the dumps when the going gets tough but the people who were supposed to manage the situation were not doing anything. I'd be more angry at the people who could have made a difference in fixing the problems rather than one person who could have just came down to comfort people a little bit. Unless the President is involved in making disaster recovery decisions (and although I'm not up on that type of stuff I haven't seen anything that says he makes those decisions) I don't think he had any pressing reason to visit the city. Besides, he may be congratulating them in public just because they finally did their job but ridiculing them in private because it took them so long to do it. As a manager you don't yell at your employees in front of their peers. As a side note, he visited NYC soon after 9/11 and was there on site with the firemen and he gave a good speech.
Mightn't it have just a little bitty bit to do with so much of the National Guard being over in Iraq,
You can play the war card all you like but it has nothing to do with Guardman over in another country. Not *all* of them were over there so it's not like we didn't have any left here. There are plenty to go around; it is just a matter of mobilizing them which could have been done ahead of the hurricane hitting to put them on alert.
From mercurynews.com: "There are plenty," said Lt. Col. Mike Milord of the National Guard Bureau. "There are about 331,000 Army National Guard and 106,000 in the Air Guard, so nationwide about 437,000. Subtract 100,000 for all deployment operations, and you still have 337,000 National Guard available." And sure, it may take longer to get Guardsmen in place if the wrong ones happen to be deployed in Iraq but read this: "Asked why out-of-state Guard units didn't come to the gulf earlier, Senator Bond said Missouri's troops were "in place and ready to move" but "they weren't requested."http://www.mercurynews.com/mld/mercurynews/news/po litics/12554783.htm
And I know you don't want to fault the administration, but their vacation schedule while people were dying was outright embarrassing - Bush, flying over *two days* after New Orleans flooded, was among the first, with Cheney still vacationing in Wyoming, Andrew Card vacationing in Maine, and Condi spending the day shoe shopping at Ferragamo's and watching Spamalot.
What exactly do you expect them to do? They can survey the damage but they have underlings to do that for them. Do you expect them to pick up sandbags or starting handing out food? There are underlings for that.

Keep the right-wing ideals out of site and off of Slashdot.
Since when has slashdot been for liberals only? SHould we change the DNS records so that slashdot.org points to dnc.org? There is no reason to kick one out and not the other.
I had overlays of New Orleans in the.vmz Google Earth format yesterday. Also had regular jpg images of flooded Chalmette from globexplorer.com on Saturday or Sunday.
.. (I work at a defense contractor on 2 classified projects for the DoD). I feel bad for people who dont feel the way I do about their jobs, its not fair that they'd have to do that.
That's close enough to a gov't job to explain your story. I am a sub-contractor for the DOJ but it must be the company who is prime contractor that is at fault here (same gov't obviously) since I don't see the same sort of things you describe.

I never seem to have to turn on tab completion myself whenever I open a command window using cmd.exe. What is your problem? I'm using XP Pro.
Yeah, it was much simpler when everything was just God's will.
I must have missed the memo. When did things *stop* being God's will? Everything still is God's will.

You can, in fact, install IIS without rebooting, same with uninstalling.
We are talking about UNIX, not Sendmail or BIND.

Well for as great as they are they still couldn't build Rome in a day.

They probably weight as much as a tank too.
Unfortunately for some companies, as far as licensing is concerned, they are very much the same.

Then you become a serious computer scholar, and not just another kid who got a CS degree for the money.
What money?

Bombings are offensive moves and are planned. Reacting to a hurricane is a defensive move and, to do it right, requires even MORE planning.
