Not really. All we're talking about here are applications for payment -- and the payment is a set amount. So all you could really do is try and trick the system into mailing you multiple checks. Or perhaps substituting your bank account for a number of applicants. In either case I don't think you'd be very successful.
Sharepoint, Biztalk, and Office 2007 integrations. The "business solutions" coming out of Microsoft right now are so painful. Their work flow foundation framework and developers tools seem less about programming and design and more about product integration with vendor lock-in. And let's not get into trying to trouble-shoot one of these "solutions" after they've been deployed -- or, #$%^&, try to upgrade it.
I hear people say good things about Server 2003, but trying to track down error codes and troubleshoot bugs once the install becomes more complex becomes a real nightmare. After you have IIS and.Net 2.0 on a box for very long it seems the errors just start piling up after you add a few basic microsoft products -- can you say SQL Server or WSUS.
Oh and the way they deploy their administration tools is joke -- can't we just get a package installer please that works across their product line?
I guess we could also point out how painful AD schema troubleshooting is particularly after you throw in Exchange.
Finally, I just loath the way their tier all their products -- from server products to desktop applications. I mean, Basic, Small Office, Standard, Enterprise, Elite, Platinum, please! Take the Exchange mailstore as an example... basically we're talking about arbitrarily crippling a product for the express purpose of selling it at a higher premium. Did it take them extra development time so that Exchange could handle a 15GB mailstore or a 75GB mailstore? No it did not.
Anyway, in the end I don't think they look out for us, the customer, as well as they should. And thus, I'm happy to look for alternatives whenever possible.
Actually, Alaska is 4 hours different from the East Coast. So is that three time zones removed? Whatever, it takes a long time to get there from Orlando, but it's a short hop from Seatle.
His drive is probably 30 minutes from the Hosital... and a 4 1/2 hour delivery to the Helipad at Providence from Seatle, maybe.
Perhpas he should find a spot for his business in the Hospital district (zoned for business) as opposed to the downtown residential neighborhood (zoned for small children playing hopscotch with their legislator/lawyers in harmony).
The disaggreement isn't just about the cyclotron (ok a lot of it's about the cyclotron). It's also the fact that the business model isn't appropriate for a residential area. This guy is right in the middle of the neighborhood and he has to rush his stuff to the hospital. He should be setting up in a small office near the three major hospitals in Anchorage (all located whithin 15 blocks or so of each other --Providence, Regional, and the Alaska Native Health Center). But instead he's in a downtown residential neighborhood that's two or three school zones away from the hospitals through cross town rush hour traffic. It just isn't a good idea. The zoning wouldn't allow him to set up a barber shop, I don't see why they can't refuse him his medical production and courier business.
Can't tell if this should be rated "Funny" or "Informational"
I suggest use of Firefox's tabbed browsing as well as a healthy dose of terminals with current code sitting idle (hey you may get some work done by mistake).
Hah! Good point. Risk always did seem to end that way especially since the end game has more to d with timing than anything else. At least an hour later you could probably talk to your friends again... unlike Diplomacy.
Diplomacy http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diplomacy_(game) Now here is a game that will lose you friends. Simultaneous moves, social interaction and high-stakes negotiations. With Gamers. A recipe for destruction.
I have a friend who still recounts to people (who are rolling on the floor laughing) about getting chased around the room with a knife after he negotiated the sabotage and destruction of another player.
Yeah, I think you just proved his point... that losing the the listings is not a big deal for a roll your own PVR system. And in fact might be easier for the Linux PVR community that is already doing so than the TiVo crowd if they lose their service. In either case, though, the solution is fairly straightforward.
Well, you can definitely cut farming out of the equation now. Corporate farming practices have pretty much elimnated that driver. Perhpas you could update it to:
1. Men 2. Food
though I guess you could argue a list of possible item two substitutes,
2. Entertainment 2. Information 2. Money 2. Power 2. Women

Yeah -- privatize. They did that with online payments and now I have to pay a nasty fee to pay taxes online. Great job. I'll mail you the check, thanks. Oh, that's return reciept requested, you jerks.
I've had luck using this live cd-- http://www.sysresccd.org/ You can boot off of it and take an image from an existing computer, image it to a network drive, and then boot a new/broken machine and image it right off the network. A nice piece of work.
I've used it in a windows environment to image a Win2k machine to a smb share and then back to a machine that had a crashed hard drive. Worked great. It's got a gui and a curses based interface so you can choose what you like best. Most of the tools (like dd and parted, of course) you want are on there.
What is D V D ? DVD stands for Digital Versatile Disc.
The term is used to describe the new audio/video/data standards based on a high density next generation optical discs. As the name suggests, DVD covers a wide range of applications from audio and video to computer and other electronic fields.
Well, if I leave my house and don't lock the door, that doesn't give someone the right to walk in and drink all the beer in my fridge. That's unauthorized access. Not breaking, I guess, but entering.
The distinction is between what is public and what is private. On the intenet, many of the services we run on a aserver *are* public. So there *is* more of a burden on users the clearly define for people when they've come across something private that they cannot enter or perhaps even browsee a private resource. The burden isn't on the person to encrypt or otherwise hide something for it to be private. For instance, just beacause I dont' encrypt all my email doesn't give someone the right to read it -- even if they can easily access it (which on my network isn't that hard, really).
Obviously, root-ing or delteting, or otherwise intereferring with a service is a totally different thing and is outside of the "access" issue. Port-scanning on the other hand is an obvious "ok" as far as access is concerned.
Public vs private space in a very public medium requires communication and notification.
One might also think of Socrates and Aristotle. Or even go so far as to say that epic poetry (lets say the performance of the Homeric Poems by ancient bards in 700 B.C.) is a form of early intructor-audience/class based training. Think also of the role of religion in early society and how that is a teacher and student relationship. Though in each case, I believe, the instructor recognizes the importance of keeping the class's attention and interest.
It's called a bubble. You think the software industry can maintain 200% growth indefinitely?
I agree that we have lost jobs in some sectors, but the original post was a load of crap.
Trade deficit? I thought we were talking about jobs. Trade deficit means we can afford to buy all the cheap crap back cause the dollar is strong. Weak dollar, no trade deficit, expensive over-sea goods. Each one has a positive and negative side...
Is any of this backed up by anything more than the fact that you don't know where your local factory or processing plant is... please!

No more! You're making me laugh. Just cause my job got moved to India doesn't mean *every* job in *every* state in the *whole* US is gone. Take a deep breath and think about it for a minute.
And be thankful you can at least still get a job on the farm or in the mine;)
That's why you don't use mandrake. Those are settings. Good for a home user, bad for a public lab. Use a different distro or customize your Mandrake to lock it down.
I hope you didn't just pull those boxes as suggested. He was obviously in the wrong. I hope you took the time to point out alternatives and clear up his misguided opinions.
Auditors don't run projects, you do. I work for a state governmemt. And a lot of our projectes are federally funded of course. But that doesn't mean the feds get to run the show. Open source is clearly in the public interest. And my projects are better for it. And the feds (my feds I guess) approve.
This type of situation demonstrates the lack of communication between business planning and IT. When you let your exec runs your IT decisions -- disaster! (Like the IBM commercial -- is this implementable? No.) Equally disasterous, when IT makes all the tech decisions without involving the execs. (You built what? Cool. But we don't sell those widgets anymore. You just wasted the last six months on something we phased out four months ago.) Hello. Time for a business model that lets your IT and your Business Planning talk about some fundamentals.
FUD runs both ways my friends. If you don't step up and correct some of it, the problem just gets worse.

These were applications for the yearly payout -- they had nothing to do with the actual funds. This wasn't a $38billion dollar dataset.

and of ocurse they do have a magazine/club/organization. It's just "underground" ie. hidden from the view of those who don't use computers or google.
It just isn't any fun if you can't have the pretense of an elite insiders club.
