Speaking of microwave ovens. A friend of mine has a 2.4GHz phone from sony and you can't use it while the microwave is on. I still love old Sanyo 900 Mhz phone that 5 years old. I been able to talk on it a 1/4 of a mile away. I came across one of those $0 after rebate phones at Circuit City a few months back. 900Mhz from Northwestern Bell. What a piece of crap it is. It must have cheap cheap components. I am in the market for a newer 5.8 Ghz phone since former owners of my house only had one phone jack and I use 802.11b. One of the new multibase phones is looking much more appealing that running phone cable to each room of the house.
Since we were a hardware vendor whenever there was a server with pysical damage from shipping we got it for IT. Some of these servers were in boxes but dropped by forklifts and hit by folklifts (thank you UPS). We would take the hard drives out and then use a hammer to bang on the cases until they where somewhat square again. Pop the hard drives back in and fire them up. Most have been running for years now.

You typically pay an extra $5,000 for a diesel engine in a full size truck. Yes this price may go down a bit if made in high volumes. However I believe that the VW Golf and Jetta TDI model cost a grand or two over their gas engine model and I believe they sell a lot of them over in Europe.
Diesels engines cost more, thats why US driver in general don't want them. Diesel fuel is cheaper and you do get better mpg. In Europe that cost of fuel easily outwieghs the higher cost of the engine very quickly. However in the US, I remember I figured out one time that with a Ford F-350 Diesel truck, I'd have to drive 100,000 miles before I'd break even. For me I believe that my next truck will be a used full size diesel powered truck that I'll keep for 10 years.
Althought I have absolutely no proof i think its very likely Oga the cave woman trade a little love'in for some skins and meat way before they ever figured out how to farm.
Not that it make me an authority on the subject but I just finished taking a college HR management course. The latest stats is that 4% or all jobs are place directly via the internet. Personal references are still king.
I listened to a debate on this on the radio a few weeks back. Bio-diesel use is growing but it does have one issue, it gets thick in cold weather. In that debate there are some fleet truck that have been using bio-diesel but in the winter they run a mix of bio-diesel and regualr diesel.
Well because Cox should not be telling your company how to run it network services! Yes you can use the high numbered encrypted port (TCP 457 ???) but what if Comcast feels it should block that one but not port 25? I still think its wrong to block any port if the customer is not doing anything wrong (intentionally or unintentionally). The internet grew because it was an open medium. Every blocked port moves us away from that.
In a way I hope some of these major broadband companies start getting draconian. In doing so it will create a market of techies telecommuters that small companies will fill the need for. Speakeasy is a company like this that comes to mind. I wish I could get them where I live.
Now if we could just have public flogging of spammers and virus writers this whole internet thing would be perfect.
Correct, The group that this would effect most directly is telecommuters. The ones that use authenticaion with their company's smtp server. Broadband is almost a requirement if you are telecommuting.
Depends on the group. Many of the ones I use have to be subcribed to in order to read and post content. This keeps down the signal to noise ratio (aka spammers). Therefore the group provider has to supply the search ability. Yahoo used to allow to search the entire archive.
yahoo recently ticked me off by changing the search in yahoo groups. You can no longer search all the old group message (for one group) at once via the web interface. It will only search like 50 at one time and then you have to run the search again. This is worthless on any high volume groups. It a good thing I keep my mail archived so I can still do the search on my computer.
This is the sole reason I choose not to buy it. Why fund a company that will screw me over. I wouldn't be surprise if even many of the non/. type of people felt this way as well.

I've noticed that many of the newer virii and worms now have a different purpose than before. Previously many of the virii were written to teach Bill Gates a lesson. Other reasons were curiousity/jackassness. The last smaller percentage was for some type of criminal fraud. It appears that a significate part of the new crop of virii and worms has this criminal fraud aspect to it. Identity theft is on the rise (like up 80% in 2003) and spammers are now hiding their tracks better by zombifying User's PCs. Money is the reason that it increasing.
They don't get technical at all in these classes. Its all about theory. You may need to take a few programming electrives but all the main courses are very general topics. Thing like System Design Life Cycle, High Level Database Design are topics not how to load Windows Server 2003.
On my work desktop and at home I run gentoo because I find it easy to maintain and I like the fact that it is optimized to my computer. However in my work experience I believe that it is more reliable to stay with packages epecially if you are running mission critical applications on redundent servers. Part of maintaining redundent servers is keeping them in sync. This allows you to take down one server in a production system to apply a patch or config change and test it to see if it work. If you then perform the same patch or config change on the rest of the server in a redundent cluster you can have high confidence that it will work. (Medium confidence if its windows). If I was to do this with compiling from source there would be more things to track and more red tape is needed to insure that the system comes out the same way. So overall packages, while clumsy, are simpiler and lead to more reliable systems.
Yes, Nielson rating aren't exact. They are based of statical data sampling. This method is not 100% accurate but it is close enough to base a business around. Just like the election polls there is a margin of error of like +/- 5%. If I was someone that was going to pay for advertising time based on 100,000 people seeing it I would be that upset if only 95,000 saw it. Especially if I knew the risk up front. Second the low-midrange channel would be the one to choose weather to change cable companies for their station or give it away for free and relay on advertising. If that channel believe that their rating will go down it likely not a go move for them to make.
This will just change the way that the low end station make money. Most regular station do not make there money off the small fee they chage cable compnaies, they make it off advertising. Those niche channel that are in danger of being dropped will have to give up that small fee and rely on solely advertising revenue. Because there no cost for the channel the cable compnaies will offer it for free. However channels like CNN, USA, will cost a fee because there content is good enough that consumers will pay for it. Once a small stations builds and audience and is worth paying for they can then start charging fees to the cable providers and the providers will change the free channel to a pay channel.
actually no... Openoffice exports to PDF but is not a PDF reader itself. Still one would then have to wonder if the pdf was originally written in openoffice...
