At home, and at my last job, I had dual 24" monitors attached to a laptop. At my current job, I have two monitors on a desk mount with a desktop pc.
I found that two large monitors in front of my face with a real keyboard and mouse is the best setup. I use the laptop screen as kind of an "auxiliary" monitor. I put things that distract me over there.
My line in Florida was long as hell. I waited two hours and the line was longer than when I left. My district is tiny, so it seems like everyone came out this morning to vote.
Actually, the five bladed razor does wonders when I shave my head. The results are much smoother, with less irritation, than a 3 bladed razor. Never tried four. I would recommend the five bladed razor. If you're shaving your head bald. Daily.
It seems like if you are spending all the money on that equipment, you might not want to go with a "cheap" solution. There should always be a good budget for software in any project. You want it to be powerful enough. That said, you shouldn't discount the free/cheap solutions just because they are free/cheap/open source. That's my 2cents.
You sir are sorely mistaken. I have been heavily pirating Mac software, including games, since 1998. Like any niche market, there is a small but very very dedicated group for supporting Mac users. This includes multiple locations for pirated software. The difference between a PC and a Mac is that on the PC you have a ton of options, but each of them varies heavily in quality. On the Mac there may only be a few, but they are very high quality. For moral and self interest reasons of protecting my sources, I will not speak those places here. But they exist, and I know someone will back me up on this.
Dreamweaver MX 2004 does a pretty clean coding job. Combined with Word import, built in validation, regex find/replace, auto formatting of source, etc.... it's actually not a bad alternative.
You will have to hand tweak the output, but the time savings is more than worth that.
Dreamweaver MX 2004 goes one step farther and allows you to copy and paste word documents INCLUDING clip art and drawn images and graphs. It will automatically take all that and make it decent markup. It even picks up formatting. It strips all the word specific crap for you and then you can just format it as you like (using a stylesheet of course to make your life so much easier). From here you have nice html you can import into a CMS or code you can insert in your HTML template.
We do this where I work. My job involves taking hundreds of word documents from professors and formatting them for online coursework at a major university in florida. Dreamweaver has made my life so much easier.
while I agree that political correctness can get out of hand, the trail of tears is specifically this march and slaughter of native americans. When someone says the trail of tears, what immediately is conjured up is this horrible event in history and not much else. Where as it would be nitpicky for someone to say "I'm sure one day some PC guy will come along and ask us not to use C because controllers written in C were used in some bomber aircrafts (or something like that)." when C holds a completely different meaning to all of us.
While not neccesarily a horible usage of the trail of tears, I think it was in bad taste and something else should have been used instead.
The way I see it, if they keep making it harder and harder for people using mac and *nix systems (such as myself) to legitimately use the cd's that they buy then it will encourage people to pirate a disc just to circumvent all the crap the music industry is giving them. It won't be about getting free music as much as just being free of the hassle of a DRM protected cd.
Rendez-vous does work with printer sharing. One of the services that supports rendezvous is the printer sharing service where when enabled will give all connected computer (running 10.2) access to the printer. The printer will actually be shared over TCP/IP networking, but its found and setup with rendez-vous.
For example, I have a USB printer connected to my iBook with printer sharing enabled on the iBook. Under 10.2, my G3 Beige did not even need to be configured to use the printer. I opened up my printer setup app (whatever its called) and the USB printer on my iBook was already on the list. When I disconnect my iBook, the printer goes away. While the printer is being shared through TCP/IP, the printer was found and configured using rendez-vous.
My high school, St. Petersburg High School, has a magnet program that is a member school of the International Baccalaureate program and the mandate by the IBO is that teachers assure that all papers submitted to IB are the students own work. They use the Turnitin.com service to make this assurance. As a student at this school writing these papers I find the Turnitin.com system to be a valuable way to deter cheating. While it is not an absolute way of catching cheaters (not by a long shot) it does allow teachers to spend more time concerning themselves with grading accuracy rather than checking papers for cheating. The service allows their papers to be checked against not only every other paper from this year, but also all the papers from previous years. Given the proliferation of the internet in our society, cheating has become much easier than ever before and the Turnitin.com service makes it easier to keep honest people honest.
There are drawbacks of course. If teachers just take the report on what it says and do not investigate furthur then it does a disservice to the student. A system needs to be set in place where students who have been flagged by the system can sit down with the teacher and discuss the paper to determine if it was cheating or just a chance flagging. At our school how accusations are handled is the teacher will sit down with the student and ask them questions about different ideas in their paper. This gives them a chance to show their knowledge of the topic and explain their paper, explain their sources etc. This gives the student a chance to show their knowledge and ideas as their own because often a cheater has not completely researched a topic and has only skimmed through someone elses ideas.
As a student the possibility that I lose ownership to my work disturbs me. But I will need more information on that before I make a judgement.
With an effective system to handle flags by the Turnitin.com system, it can be an effective tool to deter cheating. But as it was once said "Locks only keep honest people honest." and no there is no fool proof system to prevent cheating. "Those who aim to produce a fool proof system, will be surprised at the ingenuity of fools."

what if it doesn't grow back with Nair? Just don't wanna take that risk.
