Logistically it would make sense to feed everything into a single type of database (its ok to have seperate ones for different things to keep the size down and the preformance up as long as they are all the same kind). Database software gets updated and makes it easy to update the database to the new version. Even if Oracle goes out of business, you can bet that every company who continues will have a function to convert from an oracle database to grab customers. As long as they keep the database fairly modern, the actual text stored inside of it will always be accessable and I dont think the idea of a database is going to go away anytime soon.
Especially when if you are crafty and willing to spend time/go to small claims court, you can get the entire retail price of XP refunded to you (just think of it like a mail in rebate on top of the price of the dell)
I sure hope people still play magic...otherwise nobody will buy my cards.
I have found several places online that will buy cards but I havnt been willing to spend the time needed to make a list of the cards I own. I may try to find a game shop around here that buys (either in the minneapolis or chicago areas) and just drag in my cards and see what they say
thunderbird has a reply to all function so dont let your regrets prevent you from living life (well...at least large email based discussions) to the fullest
Seagate definately doesnt have the kind of market control that microsoft has (and hasnt been convicted before).
I see your point though and I hope that we get both good sides out of the merger--a combination of the good points of both manufacturers along with another manufacturer stepping up to fill maxtor's place (hitachi? samsung?...microsoft?;)
I vaguely remember something about google not issuing controlling stock or something along those lines (I dont know if that is actually possible...I just remember something like that when they were making the IPO)
And this week Dvorak pretends anti-trust laws dont exist.
Generally, buying up your competetors (especially one of the very few competitors that could actually be bought) doesnt look so good when you've already been a convicted monopoly.
Well considering water temperature is generally controlled by the water heater in your basement, that can be changed by each individual. As to pressure, there are definitaly differences between municipalities (different types of pumps/water towers and distance) as well as the fact that most people living in any sort of high rise will have pretty low pressure.
You can always use thunderbird and set it to keep track of threads. It is pretty good at organizing them, especially with multiple people (if 3 people reply to the first message and then someone replys to the second persons message, it sorts this out and puts it in the right order).
Unfortunately right now it has a few problems. First is that they are either all open or all closed. there is no option to expand only threads with New messages or something like that. Also (this may be version dependant) it isnt always good about bringing threads with new messages to the top of the list. Finally, instead of bolding the first message of a compressed thread that has a new message (like all of the other new messages), it underlines it which is not so obvious next to a slew of bold messages.
therein lies the difference between phone service companies and phone manufacturers.
The phone companies dont make money off services like ringtones, they make money off having the coolest phones with the best features that people choose. They have no problem enabling bluetooth everything and mp3 ringtones and video recording etc. as long as it makes people want their phones. The service providors on the other hand would love for you to pay THEM for all of these features which is why you get companies like verizon that purposely disable features on their phones and insist on running brew rather than J2ME so that people HAVE to buy things from them.
We definately benefit from the competition between the manufactuers. Whenever nokia makes some beatiful new interface, motorola has to counter with a sleek new form factor and siemens has to come back with a new features. In the US at least, we dont see this kind of competition on all fronts from the service providors. We see it in some features like intra-network calling but for many, it seems like all of the providors are in on the same deal. Nobody lets you recieve text messages for free anymore (which is a pain in the ass) and they all seemed to raise their text prices in sync rather than refrain from raising the price and using it as a selling point (thanks cingular for making it 10c each way so that a simple 4 message exchange with a family member gets double charged on every message).
My school lists 7 people on facebook as both female and computer science concentrators (out of 106).
Of those, Two are freshman (bound to change to something else...at this school) , three are grad students (they dont really count for this article do they), and I am pretty sure one of them is an attempt at an AI facebook bot (and is listed as staff).
That leaves one female computer science major who is actually the point where the school allows you to declare.
Of the two freshmen, one isnt bad looking but in all of the posted pictures, she is in a group of people all dressed in drag and the other freshman is listed as a lesbian. The older undergrad however is kinda cute and has electronic gagets stored in her cleavage in a picture...
What did all of the normal people who actually had to use the phones do? Did they have to sift through constantly changing codes and look at a little guide sheet every time they tried to use the phone? What is the point of having the phone if it barely works...just unplug it.
Too complex and unweildy of a solution to a problem that many other people have solved just by hiring workers that know how to stay on a task and knowing how to deal with the ones who dont.
The advanced settings button resides on the bottom of the preferences window and can be hit when editing any set of options. It gives you access to all of those nifty options that someone might want to change so you should probobly keep them somewhere (in keeping with the fact that one of the reasons linux and other F/OSS software is better since it lets you do exactly what you want).
It reports idle time based on use of IM features thus if you are watching a DVD (well I suppose you wouldnt use the keyboard/mouse then either unless you pause a lot) or writing a paper and you havnt touched Gaim in 45 minutes, it was able to figure out that you are idle in your IM behavior.
I guess now it just assumes that if you are using the keyboard or mouse you MUST be interested in IMing.
And yes, I put up an away message when I am doing these things but I rarely take down my away message since I am often in and out of my room and I just forget (ever since they REMOVED the option to return from away when you send an IM...)
Then it shouldnt be so hard for them to put it back.
I dont see why they feel the need to remove features like this. Just set the default behavior how they think it should be and LEAVE the feature there. Its like when they got rid of away messages that went away when you started talking to someone. There was always an option for it and it was the standard behavior or many other clients...then one day the option dissapeared...wtf
Well...because the watt itself is already a unit of energy and time (joules dissapated each second), it doesnt really matter what timeframe it takes for the car to generate the power as it would simply work out to be less joules over more time or more joules over less time and end up with an average of 10kW per car.
At some point it would make more sense to replace the "N" with an "L" and use VLC to stream the video as it is MUCH better at doing that than VNC is at full motion.
It gets even worse if you think about buying the soundtracks to a tv show you buy on DVD.
Not only do you get the show itself but you ALSO get to listen to the soundtrack as the production company already payed for the rights to use each and every one of those songs
(yet somehow they can get by just fine paying hte RIAA fees AND producing actual footage).

Usually Paul Graham's social writings are quite good. Try his "why nerds are unpopular" or "What you'll wish you had known"

"No" is the same in both english and spanish
The funny part is that you got modded insightful for that
