If we answer the phone then we have to do things like help our customers and solve problems. If you don't answer the phone, eventually people stop calling....
Not to mention, their previous top package, 100x5, is better understood to be the Unicorn tier. You'll never actually see those speeds. If only the local wireless company had caps more than 200 gigs...;)
The problem with any space based mining/resources operation is that competition from just launching from Terra Firma doesn't go away. Let's say that SpaceX can get a fully reusable BFR flying regularly, putting 100 metric tons to leo on every launch at a vastly lower cost. Would it still worth the huge capital expenditure to develop space based resource mining/extraction to reduce the amount of mass that needs to go up form Earth? Maybe eventually -- the rocket equation is cruel, but we are no where near the limits of what we can do with technology on a $$$/kilo delivered to Mars.
Thank's for quoting the 4th Amendment! If you read it carefully, it says person's house, papers and effects are only subject to "unreasonable" searches when a warrant has been requested and authorized. Going back about 45 years to the Katz decision, the courts have said a search is unreasonable when it violates a person's "reasonable expectation of privacy". Anything outside of that that "reasonable" expectation of privacy is fair game for the government without a court approved warrant. Anything within, that "reasonable expectation expectation of privacy" requires a warrant.
Subsequently, the courts have been trying to determine what stuff falls inside or outside that "reasonable expectation of privacy" and the most recent jurisprudence says that when you give your data to a third party, and you aren't paying them to store it for you, you don't have a reasonable expectation of privacy when it comes to that data and thus is subject to government subpoena without a warrant.
The problem with this position is that the 4th amendment is not, and never has been an absolute right to privacy whenever and wherever I want it to be. There are limitations. Thus we have a huge history of jurisprudence surrounding the whole notion that the 4th only applies when you have a "reasonable expectation of privacy". And when you provide information to a third party to store for your convenience, not pay them for anything for the service (thus you can't really be called a "tenant"), and you allow that third party to read your information so that they can sell better targeted advertisements, you no longer have a reasonable expectation of privacy.
The sad reality of our online world is that the vast majority of our communications now involve 3rd party intermediaries who provide their services for free and when you use those services, your 4th amendment rights don't apply.
Don't like it? Host your own mail server in your house. Encrypt your communications. Use peer to peer encrypted services that don't involve 3rd parties. Avoid communicating with those that use 3rd party services.
Too much trouble for you? Then lobby for some tougher privacy laws or an amendment to the constitution guaranteeing a more absolute right to privacy when you store your information with a 3rd party.
Step 1: Spend $10 for a month of unlimited premium usenet service. Really, any will do. Step 2: Create an iso of the files you want to backup Step 3: Encrypt the heck out of the iso file. Then encrypt it again. Put the keys somewhere safe. Step 4: Rar the encrypted file into 50-100 mb segments Step 5: Use par2 to generate the parity archives. Step 6: Post to favorite binary group of your choice Step 7: After about 2 and half years, repost the archive. Step 8: Don't lose your encryption keys, and don't forget to re-post your archive. Step 9: Profit from the knowledge that you have an unlimited offsite backup system for the cost of 2 lattes every 2 years.
And while you have the usenet sub, download some quality linux iso's faster than bittorrent could even dream.....
I just got an MSI GTX 260, but hadn't considered whether my power supply could adequately drive it. I've been off of the graphics upgrade treadmill for a while and was quite surprised after I got the new card installed when I had serious stability problems when running games. Turns out nVidia recommends that your power supply be able juice the 12v rails with a total of AT LEAST 36 amps, and thus I had to spring for a new power supply ($60) to make the $170 video card work right. That said, now that I've got it working properly, I am very impressed with how powerful this card is for the money.
The problem with his analysis was that the methodology used relied on comparing the predictions that were made on Kerry against Bush well after Kerry had sewn up a really easy primary run, to making similar predictions to Obama & Clinton after a long, heated, and contentious primary. In addition, since Obama's been the main frontrunner (though still in a heated primary fight) since mid-February, McCain and the RNC have been hitting him in the press a lot harder than they were attacking Clinton during the same period and thus Obama's negatives were highlighted a lot more than Clinton's were. In sum, see apples v. oranges. I was really disappointed the Times published this.
Then I believe you wont have any problem helping my 5 year old, who will be sitting behind you, find her right row, get her backpack stowed beneath her seat, get all buckled up and keep her reasonably happy for 10 minutes while the creepy guy behind her is talking nasty stuff to his girlfriend on his cell phone until I can go and get seated with her.
The churches opinion would be that the AI while behaving intelligent would have no soul, so the AI would have no other rights beyond say your watch, etc.
Try running syndaemon on your login. This little program is included with the synaptics X driver and it disables the touch pad while you are typing and reenables it automaticaly after a specified timeout (I have mine set to 2 seconds).
I knew somebody in school who while studying abroad in Germany, had a diet that consisted of saltine crackers, tomato paste, and tuna. According to him he kept himself fed for $2/day. Granted, he could have been eating better if he weren't spending $50/week on beer, but he figured that he needed to more fully study the culture while he was there and thus aligned his dietary priorities accordingly.
As for rails documentation, the freely available stuff is widely disbursed, and disorganized. The real thing is the Agile Web Development with Rails book by Dave Thomas and DHH, of which the pdf version can be purchased for ~$22USD. The book is excellent, and provides a fairly comprehensive overview of rails development, but I can't help but wonder if the utter lack of comprehensive, good, free, docs isn't the result of the sales push for this book. Granted, this is an open source project--go set up a docs wiki and go nuts.
Keep in mind that a voluntary quit in most states will cause your unemployment insurance claim to be denied unless there were other circumstances beyond your control. Don't quit and expect to get uib unless you can show that 1) it was a constructive quit (they made the work environment so bad you had to quit), 2) your spouse took another job out of the area and you have to move with him/her, or 3) some extraordinary event (illness or death of a family member, your house burned down, etc.) made it very difficult to continue your job.
In general, you are more employable when you have a job already. Employers will in general have more respect for you sticking with your current job while you are job searching, and you can completely avoid awkward questions as to why you left your previous job. Yes it is VERY hard to find the time to do this effectively, but as you said you are non-exempt, you by federal law are entitled to a half hour off duty lunch that you could possibly utilize. 2.5 hours per week will add up. You can use your weekends for doing all your job search research, resume prep, etc.
As for leaving a job with only one year behind you, you should be fine, but I wouldn't have more than one of those. Your next job should go for 3-5 years if you don't want to be seen as a job hopper.
I too have this printer. It is awesome. The high capacity (4500 pages) replacement carts will run $400, but this thing simply works, and works well. As a bonus, even though it doesn't talk postscript, there is a great gpl'd driver for it that works beutifully on my 64-bit system.
You seem to be forgetting that about 25 years ago a little hill in the southeast part of the state got into a tizzy and dumped a couple of feet of ash all over the state...
This should be clarified: OOo does not "use" the native toolkit as an application that is natively written with that toolkit does. It is better described as OOo is using the toolkit to just draw the widgets on the screen.
More to the point, it is FAR easier to achieve the goal of pleasing users if you have an excellent code base to work with, and over the long run, users WILL appreciate the quality of the code in the form of having stable, extensible, maintainable software. It's really hard to please users and give them the features that they want if your code has turned to spaghetti and you spend more time dealing with bugs than improving the user experience.
Microsoft knows that a hge portion of thier success has come because the have developed a huge group of small to medium size, independent developers that in the current patent system, will not survive. That is why they are pushing this....they don't want kill the ecosystem that supports them killed.
The problem with RAND is that it only means "reasonable" (meaning the licensing terms have to be based somewhat in reality and thus that some people will be able to abide by them) and "non-discriminatory" (meaning that MS has to offer the same terms to everyone). MS has not made any official licensing deals and or offers public other than the informal mailing list posting by Jim Miller which stated that the patents in the ECMA standard will be available royalty free, for "non-comercial" purposes.
What does this mean? It means that there is potential for MS to adapt its currently de-facto royalty free, any purpose (as there is no other official licensing) to something more restrictive and requireing money to change hands (in the direction of MS). Whether MS will do that or not is to be seen, and is likely dependent on how big of an impact Mono has on MS's business model, but putting trust in MS's goodwill regarding Mono's freedom is IMHO a rather large risk.

Is this testable by putting an engine in a wind tunnel, and then testing for damage at various concentrations of ash?
