2 years? ago I bought for my small business a fujitu f1-5120c duplex scanner--it came with adobe acrobat I scan every bill, correspondence, notice, and everything to pdf- then I throw it the hell away.
the version of acrobat included does OCR-I open acrobat, choose create pdf from scanner, and scan away. I can mix a scan job up between B&W & color or duplex or simplex within one job I can open an existing PDF and append to it
I save everything to an infrant nas box.
I can go to windows search, type in 1179.21 (actually did this one once) set to look INSIDE the files of that directory and get results that include a soda delievery notice, a soda invoice, and my bank statement where I paid it off
they have other model scanners that combine sheetfed+flatbed...
the huge ones people are always talking about 'dropping as needed'
why the hell isn't there a mother large cache (squidlike) server just before each one of those 3 pipes.
even if it only kept the last 5 minutes of requests- for a NATIONAL sized pool of http requests, there have to be tons or redundant requests in any given 5 minutes. Even just the readership of websites like this one or the NY times...
I know all about the 200 billion broadband scandal, and I consider myself scandalized.
I agree, the telco's fucked the nation in fulfilling those promises.
but the USF does NOT FIGURE IN TO THAT!
if you are going to make arguments about how wronged the broadband in this country is, great, I agree with you- and wish it weren't so.
but just as I'm not going to accept an argument based on it was done by mind controlling unicorns, I'm also not going to accept it was done from USF funds, in both cases- it's just simply not true.
"An 8GB DDR3 memory module of the same speed costs between about $250 and $300 today.
The price of 16GB DDR3 modules remains far loftier, however. They were first announced this month by vendors such as Samsung Electronics and Smart Modular Technologies.
Samsung won't say how much it plans to charge, but Smart is charging PC makers $3,400 today for 16GB 1333-MHz RAM modules, a Smart spokeswoman said."
Just consider, your 'most important single studio' was the strongest supporter and the last studio holdout in the Blu-rav vs. HDDVD war, which they lost. A lot of clout? absolutely- absolute leverage? demonstratably not so.
MS office- http://us20.trymicrosoftoffice.com/default.aspx you can in fact with a tech net subscription- trial EVERYTHING Microsoft produces for $349 a year-- which is a worthwhile investment and negligable sum for ANY company large enough to have a full time IT person on staff
all those ships- none could be a phillip morris/seagrams cargo ship?
a vehicle with the capacity to deliever cancer sticks in a quantity sufficient to supply a planet can certainly supply that limited population for 4 years... (they'd get kinda stale though)
no- I haven't tried doing this to others, I tried doing it to my own account.
it went card in- given back I entered code, asked for balance got my receipt.
looked shocked as it asked if I wanted another transaction, with the same fear in mind, I selected withdraw 20$, and was prompted for my pincode again.
Slashdot Mirror
most free software has eula's
it's a lot less restrictive than for commercial software- but they are present.
maybe not some dink single purpose app- but anything with an installer has an agreement at the head of installation.

I went to microsoft.com and looked around- I did not find the "donate now" button anywhere
how exactly are we supposed to pay?

please read the above page and get back to us about where it says the USF is collected to build out broadband infrastructure.
it is used in certain small and rural areas- but it is not for "everyone's network buildout"
yes, indeed-it was in fact meant for a lame joke--
(that is why I mentioned being a day behind--April 2-1=?)
On submission, looking at it after I hit the button I knew I'd regret it...
30 ms is 30 times faster than 0 ms?
wow.
no really, I'm always a day late with these things myself
in both cases they want the release to occur on Friday night and get all weekend.
Turning the steering wheel, and having the change in your direction occur 45 minutes later?
and see page 2 of it.

The GP post to which I replied was that they wanted the ability to try the software before making a purchase.
TESTING being the key word.. for $349 they get to test the entire library
and then, when testing is complete- they buy a copy.
Excellent point- I hadn't even twigged to that
here is the real solution
http://www.mono-project.com/Main_Page
most large commercial software do have free trials
what $600 purchase are you alluding to that does not?
Photoshop http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?platform=windows&product=39
autocad http://usa.autodesk.com/adsk/servlet/mform?id=9106363&siteID=123112
Sony Vegas http://www.sonycreativesoftware.com/download/trials/vegaspro
MS office- http://us20.trymicrosoftoffice.com/default.aspx
you can in fact with a tech net subscription-
trial EVERYTHING Microsoft produces for $349 a year--
which is a worthwhile investment and negligable sum for ANY company large enough to have a full time IT person on staff
not an unreasonable purchase amount at all.
if apache runs under linux- then running asp under apache under linux does not qualify to dispute?
am I misinterpreting your rebuttal?

Don't ask me why... but i've been asked to make Apache run ASP.NET.

have you ever utterly restored a car?
from junk to cherry?
something like a VW ghia?
then sold it?
for the rest of your life, if you catch the sign of that model vehicle you'll be checking it out and wondering
all those ships- none could be a phillip morris/seagrams cargo ship?
a vehicle with the capacity to deliever cancer sticks in a quantity sufficient to supply a planet can certainly supply that limited population for 4 years... (they'd get kinda stale though)
Think about it-- if you watched all the movies in the order of Vader's lifetime why is it he NEVER takes a second look at c-3po?
you can close your gpl code-so long as it stays 100% in house
however you can't then charge for it or re-distribute it
I'm sure someone will technically correct me right now- but it is an important element
that kind of profiteering is reserved for stock brokers!
(que a quote from Ralph Bellamy in "Trading Places" right about now)
go ahead and try what you propose.
they require the pincode again
no- I haven't tried doing this to others, I tried doing it to my own account.
it went
card in- given back
I entered code, asked for balance got my receipt.

should mean your commute time would be about the same
being generous
100 mile commute
10 miles to airport, 10 miles from airport to office means
80 remaining miles to cover at 115 miles per hour + preflight.
think about that..
drive 100 miles? 2 hours tops we hope?
vs. Fly 80 miles with another 20 of driving?
