doesn't have that totally useless numeric pad no one uses nowadays
I don't know about other/. users, but I find it much easier to enter long numbers using the keypad. My line of work requires working with a lot of financial data, and as such I need to do this on a regular basis.
I agree. My iBook keyboard has lights on the keys themselves, and it makes it much more user friendly..
Another problem with having them at the very top is if you use a keyboard tray. You have to have the keyboard fully visible in order to avoid obscuring the lights (mine is usually tucked in a little bit).
Try a Big 4 accounting firm, or one of their (formerly related) consulting wings.
These organizations often have a large IT Security practice, and are experienced in hiring co-op students (accounting students for financial audits). I'm working for one of the big 4, in a security-related job, and I came in with very little relevant experience. I've found it to be challenging, but ultimately rewarding.
I have run into this hellish demon before, on my wife's computer. After painstakingly researching (So many different variants of CWS make removal instructions hard to find, especially when I had no idea that it was called CoolWebSearch).
However, once I learned what it was, I downloaded CWShredder (here and here), which got rid of the nuisance quickly and painlessly. And it took less time than a reinstall.
This is a good arguement, but might not work for all organizations, specifically smaller organizations.
Most small organizations tend to have small IT budgets, and thus might benefit from open source software. However, this support issue works against them as well, as they would tend not to have a budget for developing/debugging applications, or developing and implementing the necessary development and testing procedures to support this.
The identifier you are referring to is the SSID (Service Set Identifier).
wardriving programs operate by putting the wlan card into promiscuous mode and sniffing all the wireless traffic passing through the air. I beleive that they also send out probes for SSIDs.
If you are not using WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy), then everything transmitted is cleartext. However, WEP has been proven insecure, and should not be relied on for any sensitive data.
And yes, there are alot of Linksys default SSIDs out there.

Are these fees going to be levied on a pre-manufactured machine as a whole? Or on just processors?
Would you be able to circumvent this by building your own PC?
I used to work in a market research firm based in the US. However, we had a significant portion of our operations in Canada, specifically, our call centre. I know that alot of companies do this in order to take advantage of cheap wages available in Canada.
I wonder if this law takes into account companies operating out of different countries, or if this would be a way for telemarking companies to find a way around this. Since some of these companies are unscrupulous by nature, this might be a viable option to some.
Does anyone else think that this is an ambitious resolution for a 15" screen? Granted, it will generally be closer than a desktop 15" monitor (which I need to have at 800x600, 1024x768 at most), but I still think that would make it too hard to read.

You are paying too much. I have Bell, and I pay $5 for unlimited web access.
Great - Another thing for ICANN to muck up.
Unless, of course, you are using a service like Packetnews.com.
The Canadian Recording Industry Association (CRIA) is the Canadian equivalent of RIAA.

CBC = Canadian Broadcasting Corporation. It is a crown corporation, and has no affiliation with the BBC.
that there will be a lot of bad jokes about estimation.
How does it perform on an x86 platform, as compared to a Sun platform?
This would seem to support what other people are saying about Apple's price-control tactics.
Except that this digital camera is 3.3MP, which is better than 'mediocre'.
Is anyone aware of a similar utility that exists for *BSD systems?
What does this package offer that Kismet doesn't? Perhaps if it offered on-the-fly WEP cracking I would take a look at it.
did they use vi or emacs?

Canada's new privacy laws are being enacted in a 2-stage process. The first stage passed at the start of 2002, governing personal health information.

Any insights?
