I don't really see why kids need to be filtered. We tell them about the disgusting habit of taking a ____, or how to properly clean their ____, so surely we can share with them reproduction.
Most porn online has little to do with 'reproduction' in an educational or clinical sense
We need to teach them eventually, and now is as good a time as any.
Of course! Every seven year old needs to be taught the finer points of a gangbang, or 2G1C. Not defending the COPA in any way...it is wrong and dumb. It places the onus on society as a whole to 'prove' they are not children. And, by nature, you cannot do that in the online world. But children are not merely 'short adults'.
download it's clock-setting and other background data
My wristwatch (Casio Wave Ceptor) downloads its 'clock settings' every night, for years, on a tiny watch battery. Close enough to zero to not matter. And FAR below what current TVs use.
Don't get me wrong, but I think if the MIR was a western design, it would not have outlived its expected lifetime by many years. Yes, it would have worked flawlessly 'til its end, but in the end it would have come down because some special part was not available and without you couldn't keep it afloat.
Spirit and Opportunity would like to have a word with you.
You two are completely missing the schedule. Not 8-9 days straight, but rather: Mon-Thurs 9 hrs a day, Friday 8 hrs. Sat, Sun off. Next week Mon-Thurs 9 hrs a day. Fri, Sat, Sun off. 80 hours within 2 weeks, rather than 40 hours in 1 week. A 3 day weekend twice a month. Sometimes a 4 day weekend when it coincides with a federal holiday.
I do the same, and it IS awesome. A 3 day weekend twice a month? Minimum? Fold in federal/bank holidays? Oh yes.
The main thing is, you HAVE to have a boss who respects the sanctity of your off Friday. No exceptions. And if you absolutely have to...the following Monday (or similar) is off.
It could be a subset of Sharepoint which allows the users to edit in Word, but save to an online managed repository with versioning, permissions and group editing tools (ie: limited workflows).
What you're looking for is Sharepoint Services 3.0. Free with Server2003 and 2008.
The open API is quite another thing, though. While can put any filetype in there, things other than MSOffice don't converse well.
I wonder how many potential customers they just lost from this experience? How many folks will decide "I'm tired of this nonsense" and go buy a Mac?
None. This is not 'buy Win7 or buy/try something else'. This is merely a way early pre release of Win 7. Eventually, people will buy a new PC from BestBuy. It will come with a new OS. Win7.
But seriously, the majority of computer users have absolutely no need for Long Mode. They do things like browse the web, forward email, watch YouTube, and look at porn. You barely need Protected Mode for that.
* Servers
* IT lab/admin types who want to run multiple concurrent VMs with large memories
* Engineering workstation users who actually need to work with datasets larger than 2^32 bytes (4 GiB)
That's about it, really.
Years ago, I remember reading in one of the major publications of the day:
"The only need for a 386 is a server." (or words to that effect)
The glidepath, however, has flattened. Today, Jan 2009, a 4-5 year old, 32bit, PC still works for a lot of regular people. Eventually, though, they will need something else. But adoption for a whole new subsystem is a lot slower nowadays.
A traffic light engineer is totally limited by the absolute inability of the moron up front to step on the pedal on the right when the light turns green,
And people have learned to not go immediately when the light turns green, because some asshat is still running the red light on the cross street.
So where do the socks go - do they hide in the washing machine? The drier? In someone else's sock drawer?
The dryer does actually eat them. Some years ago, our drier died. I thought..."ok, I'll take it apart and salvage any useful parts. motor, pulleys, etc". Upon taking the drum out...there was literally a double handful of singleton socks inside the box, and a coupla dollars in coins.
A police cruiser outfitted with RFID readers can
scan cars at a scary rate simply by driving by
them. Bounce that tag number against a database
and it will alert the officer of any violations
the car has ( or it's owners ) in damn near real
time.
This they can already do. Cameras mounted on the roof, taking pics of license plates as they cruise down a parking lot aisle, OCR linked to the server in the trunk...
One big difference is that Boeing/Lockheed/Thiokol have cost-plus contracts, where if you increase the final bill you make more money
They could mandate those contracts, because they could. They were already big players. SpaceX and Orbital aren't. Yet. Their costs will go up to meet the inevitable requirement creep, and so will the final bill.
We need more players in the game. But let's not delude ourselves that the new kids will be that much better/cheaper, while retaining the same performance & safety factors. Space ops is expensive.
Boeing/Lockheed/Thiokol initially only charged 1/2 the final rate too. What will the actual bill from SpaceX be, once they can suck at the govt's teat?
why in ${deity}'s name did nasa sign a contract to use unproven, never used equipment operated by an unproven staff?
Well...lets see: Mercury-earth orbit - totally unproven, until someone did it. Gemini-2 man, docking with another craft in orbit - totally unproven, until someone did it. Apollo-Landing on the moon and coming back - totally unproven, until someone did it.
Do we want to stick with the old, (semi)safe stuff, or do we want to bring some new minds and technologies on board?
Things like this is exactly why people are questioning our space program
And those questions are only very, very recently becoming valid. If you remove Lockheed/Boeing/GD/Northrup (the commercial arm of NASA), there has not been a viable commercial launch capability until maybe 2 yrs ago. Those major players would never have done it without NASA, and NASA never had the actual factories to build it. Hence the synergistic relationship. All the new players (Virgin, SpaceX, etc) are building off all the tech, info, designs, and risk of NASA and the aforementioned major players.
And 'real national security issues' are not only the warheads, but also the guidance and delivery systems.

engineering is about solving a problem with the least amount of resources used.
When you decide to have different problems to solve, you end up with different solutions.

It works well.
This is true.
But the tone I got from the GP was "what??? someone in IT works less than a zillion hours a week? How is that possible?"
If I got more $$$ for doing 60-70-80 hours a week, I'd probably do it (for a while). As that isn't the case, I'll take the 9/80 and love it.
Seriously though, does anybody actually work only 40 hours a week?
Apparently, your job sucks.
Let me tell you.... it's awesome.
I do the same, and it IS awesome. A 3 day weekend twice a month? Minimum? Fold in federal/bank holidays?
Oh yes.

You insensitive clod. I can already fit all my porn on one SD card.
Slacker.
maybe California can forgo the tax revenue...
That, my friend, is funny. Never happen, but funny.

You're serious??? You would give kids jail time for an administrative prank?
When does it stop being a prank? 2nd time? 10th time?
What perjury?
"Is this your car in the picture?" If it is, and you say no...
