For work, coding, I like the mate/anti glare finish. It reduces the glare AND fingerprints from people pointing to things on the screen. For home use I do a lot of digital photography and I find the glossy screen to be crisper and better saturated than the others. Also I find the the color calibration works better as well.
M.S. hasn't shipped a, even in pdf, for years. Adobe doesn't ship manuals with it's product, pdf or otherwise all the info is on line. I have a large collection of mostly useless manuals. Good riddance.
If I recall correctly from my electronics courses, you do not need to use Gold to stop EM radiation. A grounded aluminum screen should do the trick. Seeing as the wave length of a 2.4 GHz sine wave is 0.125 meters, the screen is more than fine enough.
I agree, mostly. However, I'm at at point in my life that I'm trying to change jobs, and move to another area. EVERY job I've looked at requires a Bachelors degree minimum, and most want a Masters. I have an Associates Degree. I can't even get through the HR filter. I'm a damn good programmer, I've worked with those so called graduates and most can't even write a simple piece of 2 way matching code in COBOL let alone in SQL or C++. One individual I worked with would spend hours searching through code he could "hack" and make it do what he wanted instead of sitting down and just writing what needed to be written. My first compiled language was FORTRAN IV on an IBM 360
She shot herself "after her stepfather left his loaded Smith & Wesson handgun out on a table"! 3 year olds play with what ever they find laying around, I know I've had two of them. If they had not had a Wii, and the circumstances were other wise the same the same tragedy would still of happened. DON"T LEAVE LOADED GUNS WHERE CHILDREN CAN FIND THEM AND PLAY WITH THEM!
The fact that the DNS server resolved the URL to an ip address is proof that this or was going to be a public site. Fer cryin' out loud, if you want obscurity don't create DNS records that point to your server. Sheesh!
True, however propane is a by product of crude oil refining, although now it is optimized. Still my point is that the closer you get the "work" to the energy source the more efficient the machine can be. There are too many factors for us arm chair nrg guru's to consider. I don't want to even think of all the wages, labor, and cost of the devices used to obtain the raw material in the first place. What is the carbon foot print required to construct the drilling rig to extract the crude oil? What is the cost of the refinery to refine it? You see where I'm going. To say that the electric vehicle is more green because it uses electricity is misleading at best.
"ALSO, you people are forgetting to mention the carbon footprint the electric one has: is it's power source a petro power station? Or a coal power station?" Not to mention that first the fossil fuel was converted to electricity, then stored chemically, then re-converted to electricity which is finally turned into work. With a propane powered unit the propane is converted directly, or more directly into work. The fossil fuel is combusted, producing heat which is converted to rotational energy which geared down to drive the machine. The question is which is more efficient? From a consumer, the operator of the the resurfacer, most likely it is the electric version. However, when all losses are taken into account, I suspect the more direct approach may be more efficient.
Just my $0.02
while not fantastic it is in the ball park. I've been losing weight at a rate of about 1-2 pounds per week for the past 15-20 weeks. I've lost about 28 pounds at a rate of about 1-2 pounds a week. When you crash diet your body goes into "survival mode" so you loose the weight but as soon as you stop the diet, your body goes into "storage" mode to store up provisions for the next "famine". Best to watch how much and what you eat AND get moderate exercise, and increase your metabolic rate. As long as your intake is less than your output you will loose weight. You didn't gain it overnight why should you try to loose it overnight.
As one who has just returned from camping, Mammoth Caves NP and Blue Ridge, I can say that cell service is most definitely ubiquitous, neither are Star Bucks. We did find one coffee shop with free WiFi. Of course we weren't looking very hard. About the only thing I needed my laptop for was storage for my camera cards. Leave the internet at home, it WILL be there when you get back. BTW, ditch the RV too much more of an adventure in a tent.
Hollywood please listen up!!!!!
One of my role models growing up was Spock from Star Trek. He was not a Nerd or a Geek. Ever since the late 1980's Hollywood has been portraying intelegent people with a penchant for science as nerds and geeks, for example Erkle. Who would want to be like him? Now Abby from NCIS she's cool, so are most of the SG1 team. But those characters are in the minority. Hollywood, make being smart cool again!!!!!
Dusk to Dawn circuits are simple, you don't have to use 120VAC, and demonstrate several electronic principles. The Thyristors, triac and diac, aren't the most simple to understand but you could substitute a transistor and use it for DC.
In Pennsylvania, USA. The motor vehicle code stipulates that a bicycle is a vehicle, and as such has the RIGHT to the entire lane, the cyclist however, must obey ALL the rules of the road. They MUST stop at stop signs and lights, they MUST signal when turning, most motor vehicle operators don't do that. They must stay in their lane, no driving against traffic on the opposing shoulder. The only roads closed to bicycles are limited access Motor Vehicle Only highways. I've seen as many bad cyclists as I have motor vehicle operators, so there is plenty of blame to go arouond. Yes, I both drive a car AND ride a bike.
I would only add one thing, and it may or may not be relevant to you. We preface our servers with the state abbrev. of the location it's in. So our app server might be PA-APP1 or PA-APP1-DEV for a development machine.
I agree completely, I've had similar experiences with similar results. We should should do more to help those kids who are being bullied realize why, bullies are just stupid a$$holes. Lets face it, people are inherently selfish and act accordingly. Bullies do what they do because they are who they are. If you pop one in the nose they will leave you alone most of the time.
Credit is really just newspeak for "debt". No, not really, credit is saying that you keep your word. More and more employers are doing credit scores to determine if a potential employee is a high risk or not. Bad credit score might mean the employee is more likely to embezel or sell company data. I don't like it any more than you but that's the facts of life...
in our company. Once the developer(s) have a stable release, passes developer unit testing, it goes to QA (Quality Assurance) for systems testing and User Acceptance Testing. Once the user signs off QA asks dev for deployment procedures/scripts. Once Deployed the end user is asked for final sign off on the deployment. Software development is a TEAM effort requiring developers, DBAs, System Admins, QA, and end users. The only one of these that may not be IT is end users.
I work for a small insurance company that has recently gone public. With all the regulations in place to protect investors (SOX, thank you very very much Enron, Tyco, MCI Worldcomm, and Adelphia), I can see the burden only getting worse, as our company deals with the Healt Industry I expect HIPPA to come crashing down on our heads in the next few years. We live and work in the Information Age, where "He who has the most information wins.". In the old west you lived by your wits and your gun. In the Rennasiance you lived by your wits and your sword. Today, we must learn to live by our wits alone.
The US gov't in volved in denials and cover-ups? Uncle Sam wouldn't do that. I believe my gov't when it says there is nothing of interest at area 51. Wanna buy a bridge in NYC?
I've found that an IR heat sensor, a thumb print scanner and a 50 CAL machine gune do a good job. Configure the heat sensor to activate the 50 CAL if it senses a warm body in your cube that doesn't have proper authorization from the thumb print scanner. The only problem is that of co-workers stealing my thumb and using it on the scanner...
