A bag weighing 230 kilograms (approximately 500 pounds) inflates into a shelter with 16 square meters (172 square feet) of floor space. Cost is estimated at £1,100 ($2,100), while an equivalent-size Portakabin (a type of portable building widely used in the United Kingdom) costs about £4,000 ($7,700). The same-size tent costs about £600 ($1,150).
You can buy the cases empty then add the drive you want to use. Cases are available for different drive sizes. Check out this link for an example of what you can get.
Please stay where you are sir. As have requested information on a knife that could possible be concealed and thus, used inappropriately, we feel you are a threat to the National Security of the good old USA (The land of the free).
We have tracked you to your PC and thus to your address. Once again, please stay inside your mothers basement as 4 agents from Homeland Security have been dispached.
Me too. At University I failed my first year due to poor study techniques. Passed the next 4 years to get my Engineering Degree. In school, 3rd form (13 years old) I got an entire report for 6 subjects with A for achievement and E for effort.
If I had studied at school I would have not failed my first year at Univeristy.
I have recently moved a client Off thunderbird due to issues. Refer here http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?t=1710 10 for my post to the Tunderbird forums. Here is the summary of the issues from my message for those too lazy to click on the link
No spell check suggester
Limited signatures - Only one per account and no way to insert during editing a message. A pain for us who use signatures as an Autotext/proforma facility.
Searching for emails - In OE and other mail clients when the list is sorted by Sender clicking M will take you to the first M entry.
Formatting HTML emails - You cannot select HTML text and then set to the same text size from the formatting toolbar, you must go through the menu (Format > Size > Medium)
At university (College for you Americans) we had photocopy cards. You could use the machines to load money onto them by inserting your card and the $$notes.
Some brigh cookie discovered you could scratch off one part of the mag strip, insert the card in the old reader on a photocopier and then your card has a $40 balance. Free photocopying for 1 year.
All the muslims are peace loving family people. Would you base your opinion of all americans on the activities of the KKK or the NRA (not too far off for the military).
You think that's bad? Wait until you upgrade to the wife filesystem. It won't even let you delete entries for mowing the lawn, etc. from your crontab! Talk about rights management...
Dont worry, DHL is a method for filtering out some of the entries from your inputs. DHL (Domestic Hearing Loss) may be installed once a domestic situation develops.
DHL enables effective filtering of Noise
Generally, it will not filter out Hardware issues such as body gestures, slamming doors or tears.
One shortcoming for FileZilla is it will not do recursive CHMOD on the FTP server. I use ws-ftp lite that includes recursive CHMOD. Interface is clunky but it works.
Are any of these new Critical Fixes related to the recent MS source code release/leak.
Were any known about in house but not fixed?
Now they are less obscure MS must do something about them.
Java would be great for this function.
I always liked the ability to process and rollback data updates across multiple databases on the fly.
If reading from live databases on the fly on a per enquiry basis, a centralsied Java app could be very useful.
Write your interface for each database to be connected into a database running in memory and query.
For any exceptions raised you could set a flag in all the databases to flag their local users.
If processes trolling the databases looking for exceptions, I am unsure of the best way to implement.
I am not in the US but agree, stopping people cheating on their taxes would be beneficial for all.
As to taxes in general, my brother is an economist and was provy to a number of Government level reports on New Zealand tax system. Apparently, a flat tax rate of 19% (or so) for all salaries, even when the tax rates for salary bands are 24% (lowest), 33%, etc would produce more revenue for the government. Sounds paradoxical doesnt it. However, it is political suicide as most people believe higher income earners should pay more. The main points were:
Tax structure is simplified therefore reducing compliance costs.
Eliminates a lot of the black economy, under the table payments, as people dont move from one tax bracket to another stuffing up their rebates.
People will accept overtime and generally work more as they will not move from one tax bracket to another stuffing up their rebates. Apparently this is a large factor.

I was working at Wellington City Council and saw the prototype of this product, the Zypod they were calling it. The IKE will be very useful for GIS users capturing and maintaining data on assets. Any local government organisation would find this indespensible.
Imagine you have to survey all the Bustops, Signs, Manholes, Lampposts, playground equipment, Trees/Plants. You point and click and you have the GIS Position, Photo and data capture metadata immediately available. For comaprison, try using the GPS, Digital Camera and GIS system on a laptop and work out the capture time per point after matching up all the data.
When I saw the ptototype they were working on users developing their own custom forms for the capture so after you capture the data, you fill in your own custom form.
Now for possible abuses:
Police capture images and locations/times of people
Slashdot geek builds up a library of girls he can neevr have. Over some time with enough data on a campus you could even build a model to predict their location and time!!!
Nah, a UNIX based package used by Local Government organisations in New Zealand. I tried to scare the manager of the Business Unit responsible for Rates collection.
I had an ODBC query tool (excellent by the way called AQT - Advanced Query Tool) and wrote drop pr_prop that would have dropped the main property table used by everything. Thinkng back now as the Database logging cannot function they had to go back to their last backup that was nightly. I am unsure of the backup success rate but they would have lost about 3/4 of a days transaction data with 40 people entering and the interfaces with the Cashiering and Financials system it would not have been pretty.
In my experience Management believe that throwing money at hardware or software will fix their problems. Or better yet we will outsource. The basic things they seem to forget or have not learned are:
Buying new CRM software is a bad idea if your problems stem from your Customer Service staff failing to identify existing customers because they are too lazy leading to thousands of duplicate records
METADATA is a process not a single step solution. You can have greate Metadata software but if noone uses it or enters crap data why bother
You need a Thesaurus with your Metadata solution if you are serious
To provide a quality solution you first need to identify the problem including if that highlights how bad things are at present
VENDORS WILL LIE TO SELL THEIR WARES. Who here has had to implement a crap solution because the manager bought direct from the vendor without consideration (usually to integration, usability and TCO)
Data is a corporate asset that has value. I have just recommendeed to my manager at a former employer to get their data valued as a corporate asset. This is a last ditch desperate effort to stop a specific manager from buying ANOTHER lemon that will have detrimental effects on said Asset. The last lemon he provided did the following:
Provided a solution with less features
Provided no security. The vendor provided a word document with instructions in how to set up an ODBC source (to Informix on Unix - Tru64). The document listed the username (informix) and password that had full rights. Anyone with this could drop production tables, databases at a whim. I later discovered the individual usernames had the same rights as the application would not run with security turned on.
Database logging could not be turned on as it broke the application. We were not sure why this was the case but it did. Dont worry, it was only a financial system for the main source of revenue for a Local Government organisation.
Introduced IT to the vendor with the WORST service they had ever encountered (in 20+ years experience)
The worst UI we had EVER SEEN
Poor process controls. The tables still had the fields for Coupons (someone explained this was a leftover from when the application ran on a mainframe)
Little or no user documentation and NO SA documentation. I was told the Users Group provided more real support than the vendor
56 patches in 60 days a number that broke the system when tested. Need I say any more
Most management decisions are made out of ignorance and head burying so the existing problems are not known in the hope all symptoms will remain hidden.
Well my kids have a structural engineer come IT Analyst for a father who is very logical (me). Their mother can be logical but is more arty, musOur two boys (4,5) are homeschooled but our 14 year old girl had been in the school system so long and I dont really believe home schooling is for her.
The advantages for homeschooling arebeing able to spend the time and get the basics right.
For example
My wife bought a book with methods for teaching listening and lateral thinking that allows you to progress them from the basics to quite complicated tasks.
Yesterday she was out an bought a Brain box that has mecchano like components you can lay out and make different types of electrical circuits. Depending on how you arranges the pieces you can make the siren have a different noise.
Some of the things are quite basic but they allow us to develop the building blocks for interests in different things. There is no right and wrong answer when it comes to education just some ideas that seem to be better for that specific child/family in that given situation.
I agree with the majority of what you say but here are a few of my own ideas:
Some people will succeed in whatever they do in whatever field with or without eductaion. They are just brilliant. School can add little to their success.
Deductive logic is extremely useful in all areas of life but some people are just illogical (or lazy). Teaching logical patterns is not given much priority in schools but it should be one of the first things taught.
Right and Wrong cannot always be shown. Sometimes the least wrong solution is the one to go with. Or at least teach to make non-clearcut decisions.
Homeschooling can be a better environment for learning that Mainstrean services
Effective communication be it written, oral or visual (images) is essential. Mainstream facilities (schools etc) tend to be one dimensional when communicating. We need to teach more than one method.
I love this Einstein Quote. It quite succinctly sums up a lot of our current wisdom:
"Physical concepts are free creations of the human mind, and are not, however it may seem, uniquely determined by the external world. In our endeavour to understand reality we are somewhat like a man trying to understand the mechanism of a closed watch. He sees the face and the moving hands, even hears it ticking, but he has no way of opening the case. If he is ingenious he may form some picture of the mechanism which could be responsible for all the things he observes, but he may never be quite sure his picture is the only one which could explain his observations. He will never be able to compare his picture with the real mechanism and he cannot even imagine the possibility of the meaning of such a comparison."

I still use it myself as a preference.

Feel bad about it now as it was theft.

I believe he mentioned the need gor a richer interface.
Do a google search for XUL and AMAZON and try out the XUL developed Amazon interface. You need a Mozilla based browser.
After trying this interface then come back and comment.

Finally combining GPS, wireless communication and a rollup screen the Global is becoming a reality today.
The problem is Politicians probably believe the crap they spout so therefore would technically not be lying. Out of touch yes
