Try this out- to go Google and enter in your home phone number ( (xxx)-xxx-xxxx format ) and watch Google return your home address, and then be able to map near by businesses.
You can remove your phone number from that feature.

I have an OBDII scanner, and it helps immensly, but you still need to know 'how' to troubleshoot.
The difference is, a class on locksmithing would be well advised to include a segment on lockpicking. A class on lockpicking, however, need only teach how to pick a lock.
1. WebTV/msntv 2. Thin clients fall directly into the MS mindset. Everything runs off the server, and you subscribe to a 'service', perpetually. No 'piracy' allowed, and they have ultimate control over your desktop, and your wallet. Stop paying, your PC doesn't work anymore.

Years ago...getting ready for work, I put my bike and other bits out in the hall. The evil alien feline beast evidently bumped the door, and it shut behind me. With my keys inside. I had to wait for SWMBO to come home from work to get back inside.
Purchase price is 15% of the lifcycle TCO you moron. The other 85% is support costs. And that is absolutely less with Linux because of the corespondingly less break-fix, patching, security disaster recoveries
This is only Part I of a series. Let's see what he says next time.
Here, he is talking specifically about one and only one of the main tenets of why a corp should switch to Linux, i.e. saving money on the Windows license. He is not going into the entire lifecycle TCO.
he completely ignores when you can order your computer piece by piece and put it together not only cheaper for the hardware but there's no price fixing with windows included.
The title of the article is Corporate Desktop Linux. Corporations don't piece their systems together.
So he purposely misstates any facts and says that windows is cheaper because some pricey manufacturers choose to sell windows for less than linux installed machines. This is silly too because you can just buy the chjeaper windows default install and put linux on it with a burned CD you downloaded for no cost. And then throw away the Windows CD!
No, he's stating the facts correctly. Theoretically, buying an N-series from Dell should be cheaper, because they are not including a Windows license in that price. But it's not. If you want it without a particular option, the price should be less than an identical system that includes that option.
Just like buying a car without a radio. It should cost less than an identical car with a radio. Not more.
Western Union. Online, 1-800, or in person. Their fees aren't the cheapest, though. I just tried, as an experiment, pricing sending $50 from the US to Gambia or Korea. The Western Union fee was $20.
This is a crap example of a big company getting money from this little guy because getting the money from the spammers is nigh impossible.
I know it's a chore to actually read the article, but:
"Smathers told the judge that he accepted $28,000 from someone who wanted to pitch an offshore gambling site to AOL customers, knowing that the list of screen names might make its way to others who would send e-mail solicitations."
It's not like he is an innocent party in this.
"Smathers allegedly sold the list to Sean Dunaway, of Las Vegas, who used it to send unwanted gambling advertisements to subscribers of AOL, the world's largest Internet provider. Charges are pending against Dunaway."
Say what you want about AOL, but they do appear to be going after these clowns.
Heck, post as ac with a unique subject and post encrypted (gpg) ascii in multiple parts. the data will be here still next year or five (plausible) and you can retrieve it, and decrypt (assuming you have the public key or password if it's symmetric
ahhh...so THAT's what all that incessant GNAA crap is.
Do we really want this? Somewhere, sometime before long, some small local group will take the city supplied internet connections to court, with the rallying cry of "Your tax dollars are providing pornography!" And the city will probably bend over. I can't see a local jurisdiction not putting a filter on the content they deliver, if only to provide the appearance of trying to avoid a lawsuit.
I think that the punishment being proposed is way too harsh (don't get me wrong).
A Class B misdemeanor. Maximum punishment of $2000 and 180 days in jail. When ever there is a crime reported in the news, they always list the maximim possible punishment. Makes it sound much worse.
How much you wanna bet he gets a fine and community service? Not all judges automatically give out the max punishment, especially for a first time HS kid offender, and especially for a crime where there was no physical harm or actual property/monetary theft
To specify the problem: We have a right to use and copy this information for our own use as we see fit and this right has been taken away from us by dubious means. An end run has been made around my rights for no reason and I have a problem with it.
Does that same thought hold true for something licensed under the GPL? Do you really have the right to do whatever you want with it, regardless of what the creater/owner/distributor wishes?
The letter and spirit of the General Public License is held in high regard here. Why not the same for other licenses?

Probably. But a failure in a poorly designed anti-lock system, or a bad fuel management system could easily make it undriveable.

And anti-lock brakes, airbags, better gas mileage, better performance from a smaller engine, lower emissions, traction control.
I like older cars too, but the newer ones do have significant improvements, only available with some sort of microprocessor.
Doing it that way also keeps it from bumping against filters like Websense or NetNanny.

I have socks older than you.

Well...if that's the way they did it, then a $20 service fee would be DAMN cheap.
Judging by many of the replies in here, it has had an impact. Just not a negative impact, as the article implies.
But it can be done.
Downloading is one thing. Downloading and selling is quite another.

We who RTFA do.
$28,000
Paint.
I've done some searching, but it seems the closest that you can get is Photoshop...
On the offchance this isn't a total troll..
~$100 PaintshopPro for editing, $0 Irfanview for simple viewing.
ahhh...so THAT's what all that incessant GNAA crap is.

Actually, some of the early bombing in Afganistan was based at several Air Force bases in the US.
Actually, that was more of a proof of concept. A very few missions were done from Whiteman AFB (B-2), and BArksdale AFB (B-52) nonstop roundtrip.
Same with GulfWar I. A few B-52 missions were done roundtrip from Barksdale AFB. IIRC, it was about 28 hours.
The bases in Germany, Turkey, Kewait, etc. were setup for smaller aircraft (F-16, F/A-18 etc.)
No. Ramstein AB, Germany is the main USAFE transport base. Long runway, large parking area, and can easily handle multiple 747's and C-5's.

And the same 4 person(s) buying it. Just some of them are gifts, going to other addresses.
