Its not necessarily a bad idea to have a 24/7 machine as long as you don't buy a brand new machine. IMO, your Return on Investment on power savings would likely take much longer to recoup then the system will last.
For a $300+ card, I think one solution might be to have a low-power state vdieo chipset on-board which needs no cooling and draws 90% less power.
That management style might work for some people positively but I think in the end most people want some acknowledgement of thier idea.
I've seen many policy changes and products where I've worked that were good ideas. But not great fucking ideas (GFI). Its that difference that makes people buy, promote and increases sales. I think a lot of companies need the GFI plan. Hell, if a company has this as its policy, I WANT TO WORK THERE!!!!
I've looked at some reviews of it. Not being a Blackberry owner, I've no means to test it. But many reviwers find it lacking. Shame because having a combo PIM, GPS device and Phone all in one (with the 8800) would be great esp with the integrated keyboard. And would save me some pocket space.
If the writer is even correct, then I hope manufacturers come out with Open and common protocols to sync any device to any storage server. Example: iPod is dependent on iTunes to sync properly and get all the music uploaded to it, Palm Piolts need the Palm Desktop, a Blackberry needs special software as do many cell phones. Much of this proprietary software only runs on Windows (or really well on Windows) exception being the iPod.
I'm a Mac user. But its dawned on me how reliant devices are on Windows to sync up and upload/download your information. Cell phones will be a heck of a lot more common in the future. Shoudn't I be able to store my voicemails, text messages etc on my own computer rather than the carrier's networks quickly, easily and cheaply? I've looked at getting a Blackberry but, frankly, if it doens't work well on my Mac where all my business contacts are stored, I'm not about to start using Windows (and buy a new computer have a G5 so can't dual boot) just to use a Blackberry.
As I see it, the potential MSFT offer of Yahoo has more conflict of interest than just stemming from Web browsers and Internet search.
MSFT failed a few years ago to get Passport to blow up into a 'universal' portal for the internet and e-commerce. Buying into Yahoo and its huge e-mail subscriber base (for free e-mail) would give the number of potentail Passport users a boost. Ditto to Hotmail users. They could easily up the ante with targeted e-mail advertisements.
But Yahoo e-mail is also a bit different. Rogers Cable/Internet in Canada with a subscriber base of 1.5 million users (and I imagine other ISPs) are contracting their POP and SMTP services to Yahoo e-mail. These numbers might also not be factored in when Yahoo talks about its e-mail subscriber #s. Something to consider...
I agree with the post wholeheartedly. The option depends on how far poster wants to pursue the matter. But with your job and reputation on the line, is it really the best time to promote option #6? Who doesn't want to know about free. But there's likely retraining costs, document compatability problems, etc which might end up costing more.
I would simply change option number 6 to: Other software may be avialble to suit your needs but compatability is not guaranteed.
I absolutely agree. If anything interests me Mac wise in etiher MacFormat or iCreate, I'll usually buy the issue. The nicer quality paper and larger format make it a better reading experience. MacTech is quite interesting sometimes but it gets too technical if you're a non-programmer (like me.... I think the next paragraph explains why!!);)
I am also an avid athlete. I run and bike quite actively. Most of the American and Canadian publications on the subject lack a lot of content. The UK mags are a lot better at these too. I end up buying Triathon and Mountainbiking UK which I thihnk might be from the same publisher as the Mac magazines.
I seem to recall that even if you scratch out the comment and initial it AND have the "employer" initial it (in this case the HR rep) it might not count as an amendment. I think you need the company to redraft the contract without those clauses in it. It could very by state, etc. It also seems to me that if you ask for these changes, wether or not you get the changes, I have a sneaking suspicion the employer it going to keep track of you on-line and your business activity before, during and after your work term.
I'm not in IT but I hate the fact that even where I'm working many work contracts are getting to be so that you need a law degree in order to understand everything in it. My friends in IT find the contracts are unduly long. Fine the workplace and work are getting more complicated. But can't we just have something simpler? Why can't it be Do this, don't do this. Simple, direct, clear, brief language is what I want in a contract. If I don't understand it or there's different ways to interpret it, don't come after me because I couldn't see it that way or I couldn't afford $5k to hire a lawyer to read it over for me.
There are some freeware packages that let you make unattended installs of Windows 2000, XP and 2003. Not sure about Vista. I've been able to get the Windows XP install CD down to about 200 MB using this. I've removed the installation of some of the Windows services right from the CD and my PIII 800 w/ 256 MB of RAM is running XP with under 50 MB of memory usage at idle. Why can't MS let you do this with XP without resorting to 3rd party software? And why can't they offer it for Vista.
If I were a campaign adviser in the upcoming US federal elections, buying goatse.cx would be perfect.

Wonder then if the flaw is fixed in latest Konquerer, that Webkit is also safe. I'm using Webkit and its a whole lot faster than Safari so I'm using it almost exclusively.
In my last marriage, my ex-'s ring didn't last very long. Six-months to be exact - so diamonds aren't forever. If this new substance can ensure the santity of marriage, I'm all for it!
I agree the printers are down the toilet too. I used to sell printers, etc for a major reseller. I would recommend other brands (at least for the lasers) to my customers unless they insisted on HP for the same reason. And I had to return a few of their $1000+ scanners because they didn't work well.
I can't compare what their service was like before I worked for the reseller or since, but when I had to deal with HP it was very difficult. This was around and after Carly was hired and fired later on. With the staff they've lost, outsourced the printer division, and from my difficulties with tech support and getting answers to questions for sales, I don't know that they'll be organized enough to handle it.
I found it funny too that HP was apparently beating Dell in PC sales in NA. When I went to the HP.ca & HP.com site over the last few months, the top 1/2 of the systems are consistently "Sold out". You cannot buy them, add them to your shopping cart and there's no ETA. Either they don't want to sell the systems on-line or they are just pushing the system through retail distributuion channels.
That is a beautiful and informative post since you just had to note the difference of which cheek was used!! Its this kind of detail that makes me wonder whom you thought your audience was.:)
I haven't fired much more than a hunting rifle a few times, but it seems to me that the AK-47 also has a tremendous recoil part. in the three round burst mode. This would affect accuracy and I would think the added weight wouldn't help when trying to compensate for the recoil in all situations.
I was planning on purchasing a Blackberry shortly. I know the e-mails sent have to go through the RIM servers, but I guess this would not effect SMS or phone calls on the newer Blackberries right?
You forgot to mention that there are many American businesses investing, trading and dealing with Chinese business. If the Chinese business used Word 2007, wether legit or not, then the American businesses would also need to upgrade to it to easily exchange documents. So there's more gain for MS than meets the eye.
Any chance of getting Hollywood directors involved or others financing the movies? If they agree to publish with Sony, do they know about this copy-protection schema? Anything that would cause a loss of sales (a return on their investment) would surely not sit over well.
Only thing I've thought to do with the CDs is to use them as coffee coasters. There's only so many coasters a person can have. Since I don't drink much coffee they double up for beer too.
The ones with sensitive data (financial) or work I shred into a shredder. I at least am aware some I might not want to give away or trash so its too easily recovered.
Isn't the problem that the metal and polycarbon layers in the CD would be hard to separate to recycle? If CDs are "bad for the environment/recycling", is there a better alternative for backups like backup tapes (DDS, etc)?
I'm a recent university grad. Some professors chose to use PowerPoint and others did not. Of all the lectures, professional presentations, meetings etc I've attended, Powerpoint was never really the problem. Sure it is if its distracting. The slides aren't to the point. But the best presentations are when presenters challenge the audience's views, are engaging, make accurate statements, and interpret the material correctly. Powerpoint slides don't do this, people do. That's what's missing.

About 5 years ago when I worked for sales at a cable company, a mid to large size home builder told me every house he was building would have Cat-5 in every room of the house with a wall jack. He didn't care if the room was the laundry, the basement, the attic (ok, attic I'm exaggerating) but he was serious about it. I think he was one of the first builders in my city to do this. I remember his story and then a few years later the larger builders ensued with similar practices. He did similar pre-wiring with the coax cable as well.
Cabling sucks if you don't have easy access to air returns or the return doesn't go to the right spot. I'm reluctant in any event to use Wi-Lan for anything.
