I had no idea what the Amazon or CitiGroup logo looked like, so I pulled up thier website. I did recognize it, yes... but that I can't pull it out of my head based on the name shows how much I really pay attention to logos.
"Mini-ITX boards have the CPU soldered on, you can't turn your old piece of junk into a nice PC.."
Old piece of junk, as in, say an old toaster that doesn't work anymore, clean it up and turn it into a computer. Mini-ITX is more about art and fashion... i.e. hiding the uglyness and size of computers as they are now.
As for companies using these boards to control motors on industrial machines... it comes down to what is cheaper to implement and maintain... software on Mini-ITX vs. custom hardware.
When I was in High and Middle school my mom sat on a experimental board to review rules such as this (it wasn't the school board, it was more a very warped form of PTA). IIRC the point of the no hat rule was to easily identify the troublemakers as those that broke the rule. i.e. to be marked for thier whole schooling period that they were a troublemaker and weren't to be trusted in any way and to watch your back type of thing. ugh. My mom was not happy at that statement to say the least.....
if it starts at 6am on Wed Nov 5 where I am, and I have to work at 9:30am the same day, and it's a 30 minutes commute to work from the theatre... I should make it to work right? (albiet on very little sleep... the lines will start forming very early I suspect... or maybe not... I'll show up at the theatre at say 4:30am... should get a decent seat...)
On my website I have a homebrew solution that took me about 15 minutes of time to implement.
I change @ to [at] in all e-mail addresses.
Then I have a catch all address something-whateverhere@domain and I have a php script on every page that creates a hidden mailto: link that changes thier IP address to hex and includes it in the mailto: link... i.e. a visitor from 10.0.0.1 would have something-A001@domain put in the mailto.
That's only the first step. The second is to make use of (on my server) the.courier files (.qmail where qmail is installed works similarily, check the docs, I'm sure there are other servers with similiar schemes) and execute a script for every e-mail to the catchall address, which parses the headers, adds the ip of the mail server that sent the mail to my server to a blacklist, and then adds the ip address of the bot that scraped my site to a deny list in an.htaccess file. The scripts ends with an error code (in this case 69) that bounces the mail (thus in many cases removing the address from the list anyways)
Then all mail I recieve I run through another script that checks the above mentioned blacklist and if it matches, bounces that mail as well.
Since I've implemented this scheme, I haven't gotten a single scrapped spam e-mail. In fact, along with my other spam protection methods which are easy to implement as well (using a unique address for every site I use an e-mail on, blocking and boycotting those that spam me; blacklisting servers that spam me [I run my own personal rbl]), I get no more then 5-10 spams a month - and this is all the e-mail addresses I use *combined* (about 5 of them) -- and I've had most of the addresses for several years.
If there is enough demand, I may tar up the relevant files and make it available online.
Anyone want to find me a raisin peeler? I've been searching for one for years ever since I was in boy scouts and they sent me on a hunt for one. Something about not being able to add raisins to the salad unless they were pilled..........
I use gentoo and I'm poor. I make less then $18k/year. Though I'm only 20 and live alone, so I am comfortable, but I do not have the cash to throw around to upgrade my computer as much as I would like... right now my main system is an AMD K6-2 500Mhz with 320MB ram. All the hardware in this box is outdated, but still usable, most of it bought 3-4 years ago.
Why I chose Gentoo over Debian?
1) I couldn't get Debian to install when I tried it, though my linux experience then was much less.
2) I really like the flexibility of the USE flags. Since it's not logical for a distro to try to keeps a binary package of every possible software configuration (not.conf files and such, but./configure options and linking against libs), the only real way to provide that flexibility is to compile from source in the way gentoo does.
I've been a gentoo user for over a year (doesn't seem like it's been that long) and probably won't look to any distro unless for some reason gentoo stops fulfilling my needs.
ok, mods, have at it... mod me down for being a gentoo lover, you know you want to...
one caveat... moz developers changed the name in CVS from phoenix to MozillaFirebird, so you have to edit/usr/bin/phoenix after emerging so that it points to the correct binary.
No, Google isn't slashdotted. What you linked to was a cached of the frameset (IMHO frames suck), which Google cache doesn't seem to handle very well. (View Page Source is your friend)
Now where do tax laws fit into this scheme? If they are able to listen to the music as compensation for storing it then wouldn't that be taxable "wages"?
SquirrelMail uses a wiki on thier site, and I find very little cruft even though anyone can go in and edit any page. Why? Because as soon as someone sees the cruft they remove it. Thus is the power of the wiki.. it self moderates.
And then IBM or Apple would be the giant evil corporation. er........
Now now, if Microsoft didn't exist, would there be such a push behind linux as there is today? (I'm all for linux, been free of M$ since Augest. w00t!)
and what's going to stop some spammer in Korea (or behind a korean open proxy... that's where most open proxies on my block list are) from using the do not spam list to get addresses? really we dont have enough of a worldwide government to control this to make legislation on this actually work.
That's where the "junk" expenses come into play. How much do you spend on junk? On name brand stuff when store brand will do just as well? Stop smoking. Really... it'll be good for you and you'll save a ton of money, and it will probably help in making you a happier person. Learn to be a penney pincher and you can afford to save $100-$150 a month. Heck, do temps part time for a bit and you'll make that much easy.
I agree that what you suggest can work, and for many people that's what they do. For me it doesn't work. I keep thinking "why am I wasting 1/3 of my life doing something I dont enjoy?".
So I decided a few months ago that I'm going to change. I started saving money. And next month I'll be moving to an area of the country I enjoy (I really dont like the area I'm in now). And I have connections in that area to get me a job I will enjoy doing.
Why settle for second best when anything is possible when you put your mind to it?
All it really takes is setting your mind to it. I'm doing it right now and things are fortunetly falling into place for me. Put away $100 to $150 a month... setup a seperate account... save more if you can. Quit the "junk" expenses... sacrafice a little in the short term to make yourself happy in the long run. If it can work for a loser like me it can work for anyone.
The media seems to be focusing on the issue that it may have been the foam peice that struck the left wing that is the "smoking gun" and caused the tragedy, though NASA keeps downplaying that.
One point that was really drilled on in the second NASA press conference on this was that there is no way that they could repair a tile if they found it to be damaged after the flight is already in space.
So what if they had found conclusively that the foam piece HAD damaged some tiles? What could they do? Really there is nothing they can do, except downplay it, cross thier fingers, and hope it doesn't affect landing....
And then when they do have problems with landing, then what? They continue to downplay the foam piece because they dont want to be criticized for trying to find something to do even when they had nothing they could do.

Except that this mission was actually a "real" mission because it didn't go to the space station... they were performing experiments... as the space shuttle was originally designed to do. Yes, some of the experiments were not very practical (the ants) but those were by high school kids. Quite an experience for those kids I would say. I would have loved to have that opportunity when I was that age.
This mission, even though it ended badly, did have great success. They got the first decent photo of "elves" (electrical phenomena that sometimes occur in the atmosphere above lightning storms) and I'm sure there were many other successful experiments that took place... experiments that can only take place in space and can only be performed by humans.
This is a tragedy yes. But there is a bright side. And the space program should not be shut down because of it. If anything this should be an inidicator that it's time to move on to a new fleet of shuttles.

Because the people that need to die, don't;
and the people that shouldn't die, do.
I blame it on (the) God(s).
