I have a sneaking suspicion that if we saw a picture of this girl we'd have no more concerns about this being some bunch of perverts.
Are you suggesting that if the girl is cute then the strip search is wrong and the school administrators who searched her are a "bunch of perverts" but if she isn't cute then strip searching a 13 year old and asking her to push aside her bra and underwear based on the hearsay of another student is justified? I disagree.
I like IPCop as a webfilter. It can be installed and configured on an old computer in about 30mins. (not counting the time it takes you to download and burn the iso).
The default install keeps a log of all web URLs visited. Add the URL Filter to block certain web sites. Of course maintaining a black list is a pain in the arse but there are plenty of free blacklists available that are designed to be used in elementary schools.
As a side benefit you can use also use it to block ads, and filter malware with cop filter.
This study would have carried more weight if it had included PostgreSQL and IBM's DB2
MySQL is easy to use, and understand and is therefore perfect for a book on general database concepts.
Years ago books on programming concepts had their examples written in C. It didn't matter that C was not the best tool for every job it was just a language that most programmers understood.

Quiz time! What will happen if the price of text messages goes down? Will it INCREASE or DECREASE
Some would suggest reducing the cost or messaging will also *DECREASE* the total usage. And that current price increases in messaging have actually INCREASED messaging usage. Back when I was paying $.05 per message I sent a few texts, but when they bumped the price up to $.20 per message, and started charging for incoming texts I (like many people) signed up for an unlimited text package. Now the millions of people who have unlimited text packages can send and receive as many texts as they want. When the companies increased the cost for individual text messages they were not trying to reduce usage, they were trying to get people to sign up for the text packages.
I don't get it. ..why do you keep helping this person? Somebody at my office would be fired for that behaviour and that includes *every* position in the company. And if you give advice to a friend and he ignores that advice why keep helping?
You shouldn't be providing any services to the internet from your home
Where's the fun in that?
Sure a virtual server somewhere might have more bandwidth than my home cable but at home I can experiment with different setups. Some people play video games. ..I like to play with new distros, or software. If running a http or ssh server from home is wrong then I don't want to be right:-)
Compare the depreciation on a used 5 year old Malibu, to a used 5 year old Jetta and you'll find the Jetta saved you more than $2000.
Combine that with the gas savings. My buddy owns a 2007 Jetta TDI. He keeps his gas receipts and marks his kilometers. He showed me a few of his recent receipts and on average he gets 42.7 miles per gallon (5.5 litres/100 km) in real driving conditions not just a theoretical city/highway driving but real rush hour traffic.
I'm thinking my next car, if I can afford the higher up front cost, will be a Jetta.
We have 120 staff, and 72 ms windows users in our company, and an IT department of one person. . ..me. And my primary job was not supposed to be managing computers but creating documentation on our accounting system.
Full frame is not very interesting at the moment unless you really care about ultimate wide angle performance in the 14-18mm
The larger film/sensor size of 35mm, or full frame digital gives you much better selective focus.
For the non-photographers out there selective focus is one of the first techniques professional photographers use to separate their photos from the point and shoot shots. Selective focus is why a good wedding photo has the bride and groom in sharp focus and the background is soft and nicely blurred. How a camera lens handles the out of focus light is called bokeh, and some lenses do a better job at producing pleasing bokeh than others but larger film, and sensor sizes will always provide better selective focus when compared to similar techology with a smaller sensor.
"In economics, fiat currency or fiat money is money that has value primarily because a government demands it in payment of taxes, and that government has credible enforcement of its demand."
Not sure that I can agree with that definition.
Fiat money has value because people are willing to exchange it for goods. Not just because the government says it is so.
Imagine if I could charge ten cents for every time somebody runs any piece of code I've ever written...
I'd like on that bandwagon. Especially when I still get phone calls from former employers about code written 10 years ago (irregardless or if I wrote it), and they expect answers for free
Obviously you could disable firewire if you aren't using it but does anybody know whether this has been patched with Linux?
I haven't found an answer in google.

The article was interesting until Gwyneth claimed that only 69 people died from Chernobyl.
So far about 60 people have died, most of them -- almost all of them -- from immediate exposure when they were fighting the fire in the reactor, and the emergency workers. Nine children, unfortunately, developed thyroid cancer that was not treated
While it is difficult to prove causation, consider these trends:
a paper published by the Chernobyl Ministry in the Ukraine, a multiplication of the cases of disease was registered
of the endocrine system ( 25 times higher from 1987 to 1992),
the nervous system (6 times higher),
the circulation system (44 times higher),
the digestive organs (60 times higher),
the cutaneous and subcutaneous tissue (50 times higher),
the muscolo-skeletal system and psychological dysfunctions (53 times higher).
Among those evaluated, the number of healthy people sank from 1987 to 1996 from 59 % to 18%. Among inhabitants of the contaminated areas from 52% to 21% and among the children of affected parent from 81% to 30%.
Nuclear power can be safe, and Chernobyl was poorly designed, but to claim only 69 people died from that event is wrong
I have to agree. How much is your time worth? I looked at rolling my own search engine but we were able to purchase a Google mini for $6000. When it arrived I at 9am, I had it set up and crawling our intranet by lunch time. (and spent the whole next day fooling around with it and showing it to everybody). Maybe with a month or two of development time I could have developed a database based CMS that was more tailored to our company but who has that much spare time in a day?
We need this service because this will help our business grow by completing X or getting Customer X.
Missing: Therefore our department is prepared to pay for the new server and extra $1210 per branch per month to support (current cost is $90) the increased bandwidth requirements for X.
Our company is has ~120 employees so a similar size to the poster.

Sales people have quit and brought valuable proprietary information to our competitors. Giving our competitors information we worked hard (and spent a fair amount of money) to obtain.
Webapps can be secure. Your bank trusts them.
With a webapp I can guarantee that everybody has a current version of the program, that everybody is working from the most recent price lists, people can access information anywhere in the world at anytime.

Our company is heavily committed to using Act to help organize our sales people, inform managagers, and the opportunity tracking features assists head office understand future demand so we know what to purchase today.

This sounds worse than it would have been 10 years ago because interest rates are now at their lowest in generations.
But even today you can pay interest rates in the mid teens if you have bad credit.
$273.70 per month is not too tough a pill to swallow for a newish car.
If you have ever had bad credit you will do anything to rebuild it.
