You do not have to use anonymous access to get to the server. Mandatory profiles may do the trick as well. That way they can use their normal user IDs to log in, but still get a clean copy of the profile every time. You can also set where bookmarks are stored using group policy or the IEAK so they can keep some degree of personal settings. You could either redirect it to a network share or back to the user's local computer.
I know this isn't what you asked, but Microsoft significantly discounts and even donates software to non-profit organizations. You might not need to change platforms at all. See this site.
So I am stuck with a 58 minute recording of CSI, a minute off, and then a 61 minute recording of ER
Why not just record both as 60-minute programs? The first minute of ER is usually the "previously on ER" crap anyway... You have to manually set up ER, but you can at least leave CSI on autopilot.
FYI, By filling your 401(k) early in the year, you are giving up the agency match for the remainder of the year.
For example, my consulting firm matches 50% on the dollar upto the first 6%. At my normal rate, if I put 15% into the 401(k), I'd hit the US Federal max in May and lose on the remaining 7+ months of match - that is at least $2k more free money!
Some plans, including the one that I'm in, take this into account. Even if you can contribute to the plan at the maximum rate, it automatically spreads the matched portion out so you don't lose any matching $$$.
And of course, a few weeks ago, Speedle died because he stood in the open in front of a gunman as he fidgeted with the gun he hadn't been keeping clean.
I actually kind of liked that scene - I mean WTF are crime lab geeks doing running around with guns anyway? Somebody's bound to get shot...
I stopped reading it at "It is hard to resist the temptation to ask whether this is really a bug or just a security feature, and why anyone would want to run Windows anyway." The reviewer obviously has a bug up his ass about Microsoft and is making his opinions clear. After that statement, I'm supposed to trust the author to be fair and impartial in the rest of the article? It's clear that the author has an agenda and is pushing it in the guise of a product review. I think the reviewer needs to go back and take Journalism 101 again if he wants to be taken seriously.
The other thing I like about the TW DVR is the ability to record two shows at once. You can even record two shows at the same time while watching a third recorded show. I haven't heard if the for-real Tivo's can do that.
The Directv ones definitely can... I don't believe that any of the standalone ones have two tuners though.
For all of the puzzle fanatics out there, let me recommend the geek-fest that is the American Crossword Puzzle tournament, held annually in Stamford, Connecticut (pretty close to NYC). The focus of the event is a series of timed puzzles judged on accuracy and speed. There are also a number of side events and other activities for word puzzle fans. I finished in the top third this year.. Woo hoo!
However, I think there are often excellent 'eureeka' moments, particularly on Thursday
I have to agree with you on this one. Did you do the April 1 puzzle this year?
Certainly not every puzzle is going to be a work of art, but as far as crosswords in the US go I'd have to rank the NYT at or near the top of the list.
once it is removed- they have no issue.. i.e. if I'm using a red circle logo that makes coke uncomfortable, they send me a letter, asking me to stop.. I do so- then coke has no further case/issue-nnless they can prove I damaged them at the time....
You're describing trademark infringement. A better analogy would be if you were bottling a soda based on Coke's secret formula which you obtained illegally. You can't at that point just say "my bad" and stop - you're liable for damages for the period where you were infringing. You're also not going to be able to just come up with a new formula. You already know Coke's secrets - you'd have to either license the formula or hire people with no knowledge of Coke's IP to come up with the new formula for you. For Linux, this could mean that anybody who has worked on the kernel since 2.2 would no longer be able to contribute since they have gained the knowledge from seeing and studying SCO's IP. Anything they do from that point on might be considered tainted, whether or not the code is copied line-for-line. It might also mean discarding everything since 2.2 and starting over from the point where the court determined the infringement started.
SCO has already stated in court that they cannot possibly comply with this without all the AIX code. Now, they are neither getting all the AIX code or the chance to use it to prove infringments, since IBM is hardly going to hand over the source at once.
Re-read the decision.. IBM has 45 days to produce AIX code. "Following this production SCO is to provide additional memoranda..." No deadline on that. The 45-day deadline is to produce "all lines of code that SCO can identify at this time."
if SCO's IP is in the kernel?
in about a half a day a new kernel will be available.
Is that the "oops my bad!" defense? You don't get a do-over if SCO wins. You'd basically have to start over from the 2.2 kernel, ensuring that nobody who works on the project has or had access to SCO's IP, including all derivitave works such as later Linux kernels. Basically everybody who worked on the kernel after 2.2 could be considered "tainted" by having seen SCO's IP.
This is of course bad for SCO, who claims they need IBM to provide AIX before they can identify what is infringing. As IBM most likely won't be handing over AIX in the next 44 days or so, obviously SCO will not be able to comply.
From the ruling: "This is to include all lines of code that SCO can identify at this time." Later it says "Following this production, SCO is to provide additional memoranda to the Court indicating if and how these files support its position and how they were relevant." There's nothing in there that says that SCO's initial list has to be exhaustive (in fact it says the opposite), and there's no time limit on SCO to respond to the receipt of AIX source code.
Claims from users who submit to msfreepc.com will be rejected according to the court. You can bet microsoft will use this to their advantage and crossreference. Anyone who files there WON'T get their claim anywhere else period.
The court ruling specifically orders that people who filed through MSFreePC.com be mailed an official claim form, so if MS tries anything like that I think they'll get slapped down. Besides, if they really wanted to screw people on this they would have waited until after the deadline had passed to challenge the claims.

Here's his problem - unlike the College Jeopardy champion, he didn't wager $1,337 in the final round.

Don't give people these discs, unless everyone in your family is a geek no one will even use it or know what to do with it.
...and the ones that are geeks will already know where to get it if they want it.

I got my ass kicked by the Humanities CLEP. Maybe I should have studied.
It was definitely Pascal when I took the AB test in '91...
aren't thedirectv ones tivos, btw?
Yes, they are genuine Tivo's. With News Corp buying DirecTV though, it remains to be seen how much longer that relationship lasts.
sure I can buy a digital cable decoder and a harddisk recorder, but then it would not be able to change channels on the cable decoder now would it.
They send infrared signals to the cable box when they need the channel changed.

I often have Akerue! moments.
Gesundheit.

The puzzles always have an underlying hint to solving them, but on Saturdays that clue is insanely obtuse.
Saturday NYT puzzles frequently don't have themes.. That usually makes them harder.

Of course 1's are heavier - the 0's have a hole in the middle to make them lighter.
