I sucessfully returned a boxed copy I purchased from my local Wal-Mart.
I took it home, opened it, then 1 week later took it back to Wally's. They told me they did not accept returns of opened software. I pointed out the location on the back of the box where it said "if you do not agree with the license, please return it to where you bought it". I said I did not agree with the license after I had read it, and would like to return it.
After a few minutes of reiterating this information, they gave my my money back.
Is it just me, or does everything look a little bit stretched out of perspective?
I understand that images may not have been taken from directly overhead, but I am sure that this could have been corrected in post processing.
Everyone knows you can't make anything invisible...and it is way simpler to just paint it pink and erect a Somebody Else's Problem (SEP(TM)) field around it.
You are already maxed on mod points for that one, and I don't have any anyway. But I must say, and please excuse my language, but that was fucking funny!.
I agree having a paper map is still very important as a backup. However, having a digital map would allow the soldier/field commander to be able to have several map resolutions easily and quickly available. Also update-able with current friendly positions to avoid friendly-fire kills.
Actually, marking things on paper maps is a perfectly good way to give information to the enemy in the event of capture. So an electronic map with either biometric (fingerprint) scanning for access or an 'erase me I've been captured' button would be an improvement in that area as well.
That's why my firewall is set to prevent Outlook from having any access to the internet.
And those of you who are about to yell at me, saying "but how do you get your mail?", skip it. Both my spam killer (POPFile) and anti-virus (Norton) are proxies for my email, and only Norton requires internet access.
I have yet to recieve an important (work/family) email that contains external image links.
Your search - astronomical in metric craploads - did not match any documents.
Suggestions: - Make sure all words are spelled correctly. - Try different keywords. - Try more general keywords. - Try fewer keywords. Also, you can try Google Answers for expert help with your search.
First, I agree with the above comment that you should pick your vendors more carefully. But you don't always have the choice, especially in academia. Lots of equipment in academia is hand-me-downs/inherited, and you don't have the funds to go out and re-purchase based on driver availability and OS preference.
For example, I have a $1200 card which I cannot afford to replace, and the only way to control it is through an old DOS program.
I have another instrument which I inherited, which cost me US$1000 to "upgrade" from really crappy Win3.1 software to less crappy Win9x software control. If I want to upgrade to Win2k software, it only costs US$15000, which is about 15% of the original cost! Alternative OS support not available, and I certainly can't afford to replace the whole thing.
I've found that the best is to leave the scans as image files and bundle them together as a multipage TIFF or PDF file. It takes more space to store them, but you don't have to mess around with OCG (Optical Character Guessing).
Easy to access and read. The only loss is you can't do cut and paste or text searching.
The only two uses they have for technology is A) Keeping Osama alive (he's on kidney dialasys) and...
That means Dean Kamen is supporting terrorism, as the inventor of a portable dialysis machine. So don't buy a Segway unless you want to support terrorism too!

Does it involve painting the object pink?
Here's another good idea. Change channels on your HDTV by throwing tennis balls at touch sensitive spots on the screen.

If I get laid on the Saturday before, the incumbent loses.
Bush wins. Oh well....
to claim success with blocking Unicast's internet commercials.
but if they just made it easy to comply with the law...
...
1. Delete all your illegally downloaded files.
2. Uninstall Kazaa, Morpheus, etc.
3.
4. Compliance (er, Profit!!).

Sorry, but it's gone.
However, you can get it cheaper here.

I whole heartedly apologise for ruining your coffee break...
You're only supposed to read Slashdot on your own time? Uh oh...

You, sir, owe me a Coke.
Or at least hand me some paper towels.
Thanks.
Are you sure?

Yeah, no nipples.

to the list of useless oxymorons, which I guess is an oxymoron itself.
