Complete guess, but long term it is going to work in Linux through chrome.
It works for chromebooks which are based off of Linux. It appears that they are using Pepper/NaCl api in the chromebooks, so I would wager it is all there, except the DRM.
Per a possibly outdated web page, Pepper is marked as experimental in Chrome, so maybe when that settles down, we'll see it included.
I have a St Louis number and I'm currently 400 some odd miles away and was able to port mine last month with Virgin Mobile. You might want to double check that.
There is way too much pressure on the teachers to take responsibility for their kids. They want the teachers to fill in the parental gap. Long term, that alone is a recipe for burnout. You make some very valid points, but there also need to be some other perspective changes from the administrative side.
My wife's a math teacher, who teaches primarily freshmen, with a high percentage of the classes having kids with learning disabilities. She's got attitude and behavior problems and is consistently sending the same kids to the office. If no action is taken to get rid of problem kids, how does that not engender an attitude of helplessness. If you can't take steps to make your situation better, how are you long term going to be motivated to try new things to get better results.
She's been teaching 5 years. She hasn't broken yet, but were I in her place... I'm not sure I'd be that resilient.
If you do things too well, there will be no impetus for management to change. If you don't have time to correctly fix the problems you are just continuing your pain. Many of those problems/hacks likely exist because the guy before you was trying to get them features as quickly as they wanted and it snowballed on him.
It will likely continue unless you can communicate with management. I personally speak in too much detail for non-technical people and this has been a huge hindrance. If you aren't speaking on their level of understanding, you're Charlie Brown's teacher.
I'm not saying don't put in extra time to fix things. I am saying if they are going to keep expecting you to work miracles, that it's abuse.
People undervalue technical work. You see someone building a house and you know that it is an actual object. It has 3 dimensions. It has running water and can withstand all sorts of weather. You have a visible, touchable result. With IT work, all your doing is typing in notepad or clicking on images to them. You're effectively building an iceberg.
To the non-technical, programs are anthropomorphic. The program thinks for itself and it reasons about a problem on its own. If you're consistently hearing "all you have to do is" after you've already explained what you have insufficient data in order to make a decision, you're not going to make them happy. They will forget your compromise and continue thinking in their terms without any basis in reality. In that case, run.
No matter how much VMWare is willing to pay, Novell can't afford to lose that part of the company.
They are already hardly relevant. They need SuSe and the clout they have to make sure that they have a suitable place to run all of their other software. I'd guess they'd have to get the whole company instead of just the SuSe division.
AT&T was supposed to release one(HTC Lancaster) at the end of July, but backed out with little fanfare. I dealt with a Blackberry with a non-working 0 for a month in order to get that one with my upgrade.... only to end up with another blackberry.
I wouldn't count on anything from AT&T until you can see it in the store.
Before crossing border illegally, tell the authorities to check on the other side of the state.
Sure it's hopefully not intended as something for rapid response, but if they are going to use just regular people its something that can be manipulated, and why even bother.
It's only free if you do Skype to Skype calling or call 800 numbers.
It's about 2 cents a minute for outbound calls in the US. This is called SkypeOut.
And in order to get an real phone number, you have to pay for SkypeIn, which looks like it is going to cost about $60 a year, though its still in beta.
So, if you make 500 minutes of calls, its slightly more expensive than the Vonage SoftPhone.
If they made it a flat rate for unlimited calls, I'd buy it in a second.
I'm sure most politician's don't start out intending to cater to big businesses interests, it just happens when they realize that a successful campaign requires money that big businesses have.
Some people are working for campaign finance reform though.
This isn't offtopic, its just the root of the problem.

Theres also that stigma about third parties...
Zoidberg: You know, Fry, you could join a third party, maybe.

Zoidberg: Really? I better keep an eye out at the next meeting.
Don't those applications that they were running( Quake3, Gimp) have native ports.
I'm not saying its vaporware, but I could see someone trying to show off the software using the native ports instead of the "hardware virtualization"
It would obviously be more impressive/credible if they tried it on programs sans native ports.
True, however, diversity makes it harder for people who try to 'hijack' computers for any means.
Linux doesn't have the same vulnerabilities as Windows. Opera, Mozilla, and IE all have different vulnerabilites(some more than others)...
The point I'm trying to make is anyone who wants one side to win is hoping to create a network that could catastrophically fail given one major bug or virus.
No.. there aren't any real ebooks, but according to their terms and conditions, you can....
Download and store sections of a book's contents
onto your hard drive or other storage device for your use only for as long as that book remains available under your current subscription, whereafter you shall delete any such portions off all hard drives or storage devices
The part that really bugs me is that you are just renting the books. You're only getting temporary access to the information you need. The second you quit the service, you are left with nothing. Its a great way to get the information you need, but if its a book you're going to use all the time, you might as well end up buying the paperback version instead of taking up one of your precious slots.
We know the dupe was just to give the masses something to complain about, thus making their day just a little bit better.
In the two and a half hours the story has been up its gotten more posts than the original.
I think its a case of misplaced aggression.
...and if only it were just 8...
Peter Gibbons: When I make a mistake, I have eight different people coming by to tell me about it. That's my only real motivation is not to be hassled, that and the fear of losing my job. But you know, Bob, that will only make someone work just hard enough not to get fired."...
If IBM were to wait for the market to recover they'd already be a couple of steps behind. They want to have the technology in place so that when the economy recovers they can make a killing.
hmm Fishkill.. think they renamed it in honor of the factory?
If their network was not secure, then they deserve it. This guy most probably didn't even have to be at the courthouse to have access to the data. The wireless network most probably extended at least to the immediate neighborhood.
Look at the data and protocols used to transmit wireless data as a language. Think of it as putting a copy of all the confidential records of the courthouse in a box out on the street in Portuguese or some other language.
There is no information on what he actually did while he had access to the system, so its really impossible to say whether or not he did anything wrong... but you'd really think the court would be interested if they were sending the information insecurely... of course.. could be they're just looking for a scapegoat(.. because he obviously intended to do them harm).

Guess so.. doubt I'll be doing many more identity manager products... wonder what happens to that and eDirectory.

This was the first thing in a while on the internet to blow my mind. Thanks for the explanation.. my wikipediaing/googling failed.
