I rode a Silverwing for a couple of years and about 15,000 miles. I eventually got rid of it because I moved to an area without twisties, and I needed the garage space. A couple of years ago I started restoring a 1965 S90. Started riding it and I feel exposed as hell. At least a bigger bike will get you out of an intersection with a wrist twist...
I don't understand all the backlash against the Segway either. I mean, if you want to attack stupid, wasteful and obnoxious vehicles, start with snowmobiles, trail bikes, then work your way to SUV's. The biggest problem with the Segway is that common folk can't afford it. If you could walk into the nearest bike store and take one home for $300, the critics would be drowned in the pool of fans. As it is, it's an attractive anti-yuppie target.
A major network equipment manufacturer takes linux, adds some functionality and starts using it as their primary/only operating system for all of the equipment. They sell it as Linux-based to the masses. Because of the vendor's market position and the new "Linux Based" advertising campaign, most customers readily buy ths stuff up.
We soon find that the hardware will only work with firmware which has been digitally signed by the vendor. Also, although the source code is available (as required by GPL2) it is useless when run on hardware that doesn't have the right keys embeded in it.
The result is hardware that can't be updated except by the vendor and modifications to the software that are not usable by the very developers responsible for Linux in the first place.
Pretty much already happened. It's called series II Tivo.
The price won't have anything to do with the cost of making it. It will have everything to do with patents and what the market will bear. And the market will bear a lot for this drug if it works.
He needs detailed technical specs, not a 2 page sales puff sheet. I know the link said datasheet, but did you take the time to actually download it and take a look?
That said, I doubt that he'll find what he's looking for online. Every wireless chip I've seen required a qualification and a signed non-desclosure before you could get tech info.
be grateful you have a job. it's obvious there is nothing you can do about it, so why are you sweating it? go with the flow and live a less-stressed existence. it's not worth creating ripples. the only people who judge you for your work aptitude are you and other men; no one else cares.
Modded insightful????
Yeah, sure, "go with the flow". We're not fsking hippies anymore. Follow that advice and the guy ends up 50 years old and nothing but regret to show for it.
Find a company where you can make a difference. Obviously, they can get along without you. Find someplace that can't.
If you're right on the edge of getting nailed for peak load, you could run the aircon aggressively before the peak load period and try to coast through it with the unit off. Chill the place to 60F, shutdown the aircon a few minutes before peak load and see how long you can go before turning it back on.
Economizers can work well at reducing your aircon load. We pull in cold outside air at 5AM
and cool the building down to 65f. This saves us about 2 hours of aircon running during summer days.
It will not come up after being powered down. Haul the damn thing into the lab, turn it on, works fine. Haul the damn thing back to the printer station, comes back on ok. Power is fine at the printer station. Laserjet 5000 at printer station does not have the same problem. Other Laserjet 4000's don't have the same problem.
Does that mean we should research away to increase that small voltage to something larger so we can all walk around with extension cords hanging off our arms?
Microsoft cordless usb laptop mice are comfortable, work very well and run for at least 6 months on a couple AAA batteries. Oh, but wait, this is slashdot...
The challenge is that all the printers I can find are thermal print. Our fear is that a label may become unreadable due to heat exposure sometime during mailing.
There's different technologies. If you're talking about cash register receipt thermal paper, yeah, I'd not want that. OTOH, we use a SATO thermal printer with film ribbon and polyester labels to print MAC number and serial number labels for some of our products. The film ribbon/poly label is very, very durable and looks sharp.

Yeah, a real "pussy server"

Where you rotate a superconductive sphere 1 meter in diameter 1,500,000 rpm. That'll work.
You are, of course, totally correct.

But I have to ask. Is there any legal recourse if this is passed into law? Any equivilent of the US Supreme Court?

Yes. Raised eyebrows is one of the signs of the Apocolypes. (rolls eyes).
And a Book of Mormon.

Good luck anyway.
Not very original. I'd at least setup cross-network swap partitions or paging files on each other's machines.

Good catch Parrot. Thanks.
You are easily amused...

No, that would be limbs
It was a leading question...
Ever give those computers back that they took?

It's not false advertising, but it is very likely a zoning violation. Most cities require permits for advertisement signs.

In the OP's scenario, someone shorting Juniper stock could prove damages.
Umm, it was supposed to be funny, not a flamebait...
