It is supposed to be SQL KM, you know that new open source database that noone knows about because it is never mentioned on/. In fact maybe I should submit an article asking why noone uses it instead of MYSQL.
Ahh, the fun of typos!
I just wanted to mention this, but caffeine, by itself, is extremely bitter and harsh on the system.
Anybody who would claim it is for taste is like cigarette manufacturers saying that nicotine is added just for the "Taste."
I have to agree with this sentiment. When I worked for the government, you always wanted to be the guy in charge of the most people and the most money. So who do you think would look better when looking for promotions, the manager who was in charge of 20 people and 5 million dollar project, or the manager in charge of 2 people and 50 thousand dollar project.
So the problem with your bid was not simply you were completing a task, but you have to make the manager in charge look like a giant instead of a cheap skate.
Ironic that the article was trying to advacate someone getting unwanted email as being acceptable because you can just delete, but when I close the window to the article I get a very in-your face banner ad.

It list various game site reviews for Kohan, all of which are very good. AT E3 Kohan 2 also got awarded best game from several game sites again. It has got good reviews, it just does not have a big name like EA, or Blizzard, or Microsoft.
Here is a page which lists Gaming Sites and their ratings of Kohan. The Awakening
I admit that it is a little behind in release time, but it is a good game. Actually it is my favorite game because it is more a Macro strategy instead of micro strategy that Warcraft 3 encompasses.
Novels that tell a story of triumph against all odds, winning out against the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune... those are the stories that speak to the real human condition of fighting adversity
This is qoute from a book "Pawns of Chaos" that I read recently, and seems to be a good fit here.
Nothing stands in the way of the ultimate annihilation of everything,' the god Gulzacandra told him through Hycilla. 'In the end, everything possessed of life returns to air and ash and dust, and everything returns to listlessness. All that matters is how things burn. Not how quickly, but how. How could one delight in taking the side of Chaos, in being Chaos, if there were no Order to make a game of it? Where is the spice in easy victory? Where is the pride, the job, the sense of achievement, the triumph? I need enemies, Dathan, even more than I need allies. There is nothing quite so precious to me as a traitor. But it does work the other way around. Remember that, Dathan, when you begin to feel again. Order cannot tolerate traitors, or weaklings, or maladjustment, or creativity. Order needs nothing but order, and calm of mind. You can have that if that's what you decide to want, when you become capable of wanting anything at all, but you might do better to choose otherwise.
The reason public schools do so poorly is because there is no accountability for how good a job schools do. Teacher unions and parents and even school boards fought, and still fight testing standards and complain about how small the budget is while students performance is pathetic. If you cannot tell if teachers are doing a good job or not, how can you tell how much they are actually worth?
All I can say is I am glad that I don't have kids right now becuase I would hate to send them to public school
I don't know if that is true or not, however there does not seem to a problem with passenger planes installing cell phones. They run the antenna to the outside of the plane and then charge you 3 or 4 dollars a minute for using it. Some people think that they are just using the excuse of cell phones interferring with a planes electronics so that you have to use their installed phone.
Besides if planes are really that vulnerable to outside interference it is a good indication that they should probalbly should address the issue. It is only getting to worse with more and more companies wanting to use the wireless spectrum.
What if gets to the point that all a real terrorist needs a small electronic device that will interfer with the planes equipment. Make it look like a cell phone and they would never find it. I would assume that would be a bigger danger and easier to do than someone carrying a couple lbs of TNT with thier luggage. They really need to address the issue of interference with a planes electronics.
If I already have 5 SQL databases, I can deal with it with one admin. Add a MySQL database and a PostgreSQL database and an Oralce database and suddenly you need a specialist in each one.
Just like a garage that has one mechanic for Fords', anothrt for Chevrolets' and a third for Toyotas'.
Somehow management just does not understand what portable job skills are.
Actually video recorders will be used to transfer shows onto Laptops. The terrorists will proceed to watch the program on said laptop while on a 747 which will interfer with the internal electronics and cause the Airliner to crash. So they are only doing this to protect the airline industry from foreign terrorists who insist on watching Friends.
Abe Simpson: Look here Bart, these are Hobbo signs(points to signs on a fence). They use these to communicate with each other.
Bart Simpson: So what does these signs say?
Abe Simpson: They say there is an attractive woman lives here, fine vittles and a hobbo graveyard in the basement!
A point that you did not mention was that if the RIAA got the telecoms to block this site, what would keep other individual and organizations from telling them to block other sites? It is not simply a matter of just one organization making a request, but it also sets a precedent for any organization to start making these requests.
Community Colleges that have courses available, are very PRO-Microsoft. The Community College I am going to has,
Windows Server XP Administration
Windows Active Directory
Programming in VB
Programming in C#
Programming for.NET
Introduction to Computers/MS Office
Database Programming and Administration/MS Access
Networking on a MS Network
The rare Linux, or C++, or C class is taught at night and there tends to only be one class. It is more a matter of Microsoft taking over all computer learning and other stuff is just a set of geeky computer products.

Fact #3: It's pretty boring. While everyone else is having fun, you're sitting there playing a game that is the gambling equivalent of working a factory job. It's repetitive and tedious; you get penalized cash every time you make a mistake.
The biggest reason that IT spending gets out of control and produces no real results is becuase managers just don't understand the technology or their technical people enough to know what they are doing and are unwilling to admit their mistakes letting the problem get worse and worse.
An example here at my current job is working with the monitoring department. The decided to use Netview and Robomon to monitor Windows servers. They hired two contractors who had no experience with either product. The manager who hired them had no experience with those products, project management or even basic programming skills. She simply trusted the judgement of the people who were under her.
The could not get Netview working, they could not get Robomon working and their usual complaint was to blame it on the system owners. When the system did work, they had done such a poor job of writing monitoring scripts it was not uncommon for our deparment to see on the screen, about 50 to 100 error messages a second scrolling through events window.
After a while upper-management broke down and hired a outside contractor to tell them what was wrong. I talked with her and she said, it was the contractors that they hired. I asked, are you going to tell management that? She said no, they did not want to hear that they had made a bad decision so she was going to give them what they wanted. Saying they may need some training.
Finally they decided that it was the Robomon software that they had purchased was the problem. So the contractors, who by this time, being so effective, were hired as employees. They had decided they wanted HP Openview, nevermind that they had not worked with that either. They wrote a report detailing their methodology for determining the best monitoring software and listed HP Openview at the top of the list. I took at look at their report. It seems that made up a number and then assigned it to the packages that they were suppposed to review. Of course Openview was at the top.
So now, after two years, they still have not been able to configure an effective monitoring tool but lets look at the total costs.
Netview Upgrade $50,000
Robonmon Licensing $1,000/server * 200 servers
Outside Contractor for 3 weeks, $40,000
HP Openview License $250,000
OPenview Server Licensing $1,000/server * 235 servers
2 Top of the scale employees, $70,000/each * 2 years
$1.055 million dollars in support and software, don't even know about the hardware. The manager had been told that their were problems with their employees but she brushes them off, and always backs them up. So is it any wonder, with this attitude about technology that people don't want to put more into that bucket!
The major problem I have with this is that the government just cannot resists selling this information to corporations. The DMV does it and once they get the toll tracking information you can beat there will be some corporation banging on the door with a bucket of crash so that they can set 50 miles of Marlboro or Coca-Cola bulletin boards.
It is pitiful when your government becomes a front for corporations
