You can safely ignore your email and suffer minimal long term consequences.
I dunno...in 3 years I might not care that my boss wanted to see me this Friday, but if I ignore her email there's a pretty good chance I'll be changing jobs:-)
Seems slightly excessive for low priority emails; does she need to respond to a lot of them? Checking my work mail for today (we do email for everything that can't be handled outside the weekly staff meeting), I see I got 13 emails, plus a few spams and one or two I deleted. Doubt I spent more than 10 minutes on it, if that..
I had that happen to me; I stopped updating the website I'd had for >3 years, forgot to renew, and the domain was immediately snapped up by a porn site.
That's why half the congress is so pissed, because its going to take a huge chunk of spending capital out of the budgets, and force them to stop making so many promises with other people's money.
Do you seriously believe they're going to spend less money just because there's less coming in? The last four years would seem sufficient to show otherwise...
Cases like these are *very* sensitive and have to be handled with a lot of foresight. The privacy of that poor little girl is much more important than catching the guy that did this to her.
A: Bad guy gets ticked off at someone B: Bad guy searched net for child porn C: Bad guy takes photo of location associated with someone he wants to hurt D: Bad guy combines the photos and releases them
Plus, I suspect many if not most people would consider the molestation worse than framing someone.
A web page with links to pictures, with plenty of blackboard space around the projection to write on, works with 30-100 students.
And the difference between this and a powerpoint presentation with a whiteboard to expand on it would be?
Having sat through seminars where people used powerpoint and were able to face the audience and talk, and seminars where people spent the whole time addressing the blackboard, I can tell you I much prefer the former.
Powerpoint (or the openoffice version, which is what I actually make mine in) is a tool, nothing more. Used correctly, it lets you have a neat presentation with minimal hassle. Used incorrectly...well, anything can be used incorrectly. But it sure beats my handwriting..
If you were lecturing 20 students with powerpoint, they probably h8ed you.
I once lectured a class of four students (it was a small graduate class; the regular prof had to be away and asked me to come talk about quantum cryptography) with powerpoint. The students were actively involved in the lecture and told the prof afterwards that they really enjoyed it.
What makes you think the teacher ISN'T personally explaining the subject? Powerpoint can make a nicer visual aid than you could draw on a transparency or whiteboard...
When I lectured in college seminars I always used powerpoint, as did everyone else; it's much, much easier than messing with the overhead projector.
Yup. When it was $75 I would save up for a while and place an order. Once they dropped it to $25, I started ordering from them all the time; frequently I'll have $20 worth of stuff and throw in another book to get free shipping. These days, Amazon gets a significant amount of my money, largely because they give free shipping when you spend $25.
1) The Republican leadership tends to put heavy pressure on any members who don't vote the party line. Remember the republican congressman who was told they'd help his son win election if he voted for the medicare bill, and make sure his son wouldn't win election if he didn't? There've been plenty of reports that have made clear that if you're a republican and you don't do what the leadership wants, you won't get the good assignments and may very well find yourself facing a primary next time you're up for reelection.
2) (related to #1) The Democrats tend to feel more free to go with their personal ethics over the wishes of their party leaders. Note, for example, that one of the main contenders for leadership of the DNC is pro-life; can you imagine the republicans nominating someone who was pro-choice?
3) I put this one last because it's a matter of opinion, but I'd say that the Democrats probably have more people who are willing to think for themselves rather than doing what the people in charge tell them to do.
Yes, but fillibustering appointments of people who are not qualified for the job they are nominated for is a legitimate tactic. Face it: the republicans will, as a bloc, vote to approve anybody Bush nominates. When that person is completely unacceptable, a fillibuster is all that remains.
Overall, I was more impressed with the antispyware program's protective measures and simple interface than with its ability to cleanse existing infections. Still, Microsoft seems to be on the right path to fixing the mess caused by the careless users, malicious programmers, unethical companies and vulnerable software.
Slashdot Mirror
I wonder if they'd call it "The unit formerly known as the kilogram"

If I spent 3 minutes reading/responding to each of the 2,200 emails, then I've spent nearly 4.5 DAYS on email in the last 5.5 months.
Just for comparison...how much time have you spent reading Slashdot in the last 5.5 months?

Three reasons:
1) People are familiar with MSOffice, so you don't have to train them on OO.o
2) People in charge assume that since MS is expensive and well-known, it must be better
3) OO.o doesn't make campaign contributions
Needless to say, I got some very surprised messages shortly therafter..

He's saying it SHOULD report -274c. for exactly that reason. Instead it's reporting zero.
True, I was being a bit flippant there...it's just easier to do that than to really think about this particular topic.
I work with children and the idea of someone hurting them just really sets me off.
Me either...OTOH many of us don't reguard rapists as human beings.

You make two assumptions, though:
1) That he's no longer doing it
2) That he's not doing it to anyone else
Doesn't have to be a molester.
A: Bad guy gets ticked off at someone
B: Bad guy searched net for child porn
C: Bad guy takes photo of location associated with someone he wants to hurt
D: Bad guy combines the photos and releases them

I think the point is that they edit out the child and just distribute photos of locations.

Wouldn't it be hard to sell the answers if nobody knows he has them?
Because, after all, people released from jail never re-offend..

Plus if you get the free shipping it takes forever just for them to ship it even if it is in stock..
Well, I'd guess it has several causes:
1) The Republican leadership tends to put heavy pressure on any members who don't vote the party line. Remember the republican congressman who was told they'd help his son win election if he voted for the medicare bill, and make sure his son wouldn't win election if he didn't?

Neither is Open Office, for that matter; I've never bothered getting the student edition of MS Office because OO does pretty much everything I need.
Yes, but fillibustering appointments of people who are not qualified for the job they are nominated for is a legitimate tactic. Face it: the republicans will, as a bloc, vote to approve anybody Bush nominates. When that person is completely unacceptable, a fillibuster is all that remains.

With Google kicking off Google Print (A9's other specialty) could A9 become redundant?"
Isn't the point of A9 to get the Amazon.com pi/2 discount? I don't see Google giving us that!
