Kerry proposed greater use of ethanol, soy-based diesel fuel and incentives to build and buy more fuel-efficient vehicles. His 10-year, $20 billion plan envisions 20 percent of vehicle fuel coming from renewable resources.
Check out Sunbird -- Mozilla's infant Calendar program. Based off the iCal standard, it allows for server-based calendar operations, meaning collaboration is a breeze.
Althought it's still in 0.2a, it's still pretty good.
I have a 200GB harddrive in mine. There are several programs that are better than XPMC. The beauty for me is that I can stream Divx from computer. Instead of having to deal with DVDs every time I want to play them, I just navigate to the My Movies folder on my computer and I'm good to go.
My UA string says I use IE6 even when I'm in Opera or Firefox because a site I frequent for work purposes doesn't allow anything but IE. A simple UA change and I'm ok...I'm just wondering why they say IE only.
Like the parent, I come from an Opera background, and when I need to "power-browse" I still use Opera. However, many of the extensions that Firefox has (bug-me-not, adblock, Foxytunes, etc.) are too cool to pass up. Also, Firefox seems to render more pages correctly.
The thirteenth month is also for financial reasons. Several countries including Luxembourg and the Philippines require employers to pay the deferred pay as a seperate month's pay instead.
Baylor University is already the same way and has been for a while. First, it's impossible for a wireless router to get an IP address from DHCP (since it cannot be registered) and second, it creates interference for our wireless network, AirBear. It's a private university, they can do whatever the hell they want.
Kids don't spend a whole lot of time thinking about money period.
As a former kid, I'll tell you that all kids think about is money. Someone's got better clothes, a better cellphone, a nicer house, etc. and our society is set up for us to want them. I'm not just talking about high school kids either, I'm talking all the way down to kindergarten. It's built into our society to want money -- that's how we define success.
I think your experiences are atypical. I work at a private university in Texas with Baptist ties, and Dell's support has been phenomenal. We have access to their premeire support which means we go on their website, enter the system tag number, what part needs to be replaced, and it's shipped the next day with no questions asked. We had 120 machines brought in recently and one of them had a cracked LCD screen -- and the replacement was delivered the next morning. Now, on the personal computing end, there are some issues with their service -- but if you're a big player, they're going to bend over backwards to make sure you are satisfied.
Why was Bush in such a hurry? The only answer I can think of here is because election was just around the corner.
Perhaps it was because there was an imminent threat? If a piano is dangling by a frayed piece of rope over you, do you want to inspect the rope to make sure that it's secure enough to hold or do you get rid of the threat? Or, it could be simply the oil. That would also explain France and Germany's non-participation. There are a lot of reason one could think of -- and the only one you could come up was election time? Geez.
Here's my question, how come the UN didn't condemn Saddam for his dictatorial and genocidal rule?
We welcome our new Chinese overlords. The beer is in the fridge.
Read this:
So far, China is the only country in the world that has consolidated domain names, IP addresses and MAC addresses into ten-digit text files. China and the United States are currently the only two countries that possess root domain name analysis servers, IP address servers, independent domain names, IP addresses and MAC address sources.
It's to give them a personal face so that you know that the developers are trying as much as you are to make great software -- no matter what company they work for.
I have a couple of friends who work for Microsoft who love being able to work on their projects and have the support that only a company like Microsoft can provide. They go home at night and work on their linux box, just like the rest of us. It's not a struggle against Microsoft, it's a struggle with fellow developers.
Well couldn't you argue both ways? Stricter punishment can lead to either wanting to protect self and f-ing up the man. The weakest bootleggers may instead go into a safer route -- like drugs, but at least they won't be copying movies.
I just bitched enough to my bank and talked to a technical guy who basically said that it was some stupid policy passed down to him. He then gave me access and I've been happy since.
I actually have a footspa that I use at work (I'm diabetic and my feet aren't as good as they should be) and it's amazing. I can work longer and feel better at work. Sure, some people will snicker, but especially after hours, pull that sucker out and your feet are still good for a few more hours.
Actually, this is an interesting question -- I mean, the guy footing the bill is the co-founder of Microsoft. Aren't we cheering on an Evil Empire? Here's the problem with linux zealots who shun all there is about capitalism -- they fail to recognize the development that is only possible by vast amounts of money.
On a side of that side note, I'd like to add that that is how I got my "play" computer. A friend of mine needed help because she got a new computer, I asked what happened with her old one and she said it didn't work. I told her I'd take a look at it and she said I could have it -- monitor and all. I now have a nice 1.8 ghz dell that had about 2300 pieces of malware on it. It's now my box that I try different distros on and test my home-rolled knoppix.
I second this. at my university we use 1x and RADIUS and we can allow users during a time period to authenticate successfully. This means we can track who is on when, while allowing them to borrow a laptop or whatever. look at your hardware and see if it's an option. by the way, are you familiar with the International Resnet Symposium? Currently underway at Princeton University, it's a great place to bounce ideas off of others and hear what other poeple (and vendors) have to offer.
I wouldn't doubt it. One of the biggest problems I see with open source is that if you have a legit product, you can be taken advantage of very easily. Nokia may be investing in Mozilla because they can give donations and then get the product with no strings attached. Giving donations and entering into contracts are two very different things and it's a lot easier to have your way with an organization that you donate to than dealing with contracts.
So in the short run, it's great for open source, however it creates a precedence of being able to simply give some money and taking the product.

1.2 billion dollars to fund hydrogen fuel research and implementation.

See what 2 minutes of googling can do?

Using the google search built-in to Opera or Firefox works just fine.

Most students I know are poor :-)
Actually most students these days use this new thing called the intarweb.

or at least that's what they want you to believe.
I get a bunch of those down here in Waco.

As long as people whitelist you there's no cost to you. You're fine.

Therefore, we need more boobies! no logic, i just like the thought
