Be interesting if they try it out on Down's dementia. I've seen the present generation drugs buy a couple years for individuals with the similar Down's dementia towards the end. (I really was quite skeptical about the drugs.) But it just buys some quality time, gives caregivers a little more time to get ready for the end. peace
Hi, My via-itx Ubuddy in 2003 got changed to intel when vendor could not get the voltage regulator right. Over 12 weeks in RMA.
Is it little-endian or big-endian? It was a problem with the first Mandrake install, but with the next version, install went well back in 2003.
40 gb hard drive and 512 mb ram is suff quant for me with Kubuntu with a few bells (update notifier replaced by line in anacron 0 etc.) disabled. And open office works like a charm usually. I edited a 35 page thesis for a friend without a hiccup using openoffice. I still am satisfied with it.
The key to newbies for this is - are they flexible. I have introduced people to linux from all over the world via their coming to L'arche, and many can adapt, and some can't. And the ones who can't are often inflexible about other items.
So, it would be nice to hear more details about the onboard video, number processing with itx (was a little weak) and any snafus noted with big endian if it is big endian.
The piece of mind alone from not getting sucked into all that spyware and viruses and gator that noobies often do (I see what 18 to 25 y.o. people from all over the world do to windows boxen), nice machines that crawl. It can't be any worse than what happens to window boxes.
The other thing about a big box is that it allows a much cheaper dvd-rw. I am on third thin burner - and the APOS cheap crap that I bought does not work well with either. Quality thin dvd players of writer are not cheap.
The United States cannot celebrate the worldwide 8 hour day movement with it's most crucial moment in time becasue of the the hanging of 8 innocent men by the State of Illinois. The US government has taken the worlwide celebration of the Chicago May 1 Haymarket demonstration and made May 1 Law Enforcement Day - a cruel mockery.
That being the case - hey we have to come up with a holiday for the people who actually produce things. And thus Labor (or Labour) Day came to be. This would be from the people who brought you the Palmer Raids.
This US citizen is very very happy to be in Canada and working on living there the rest of my life. This makes year 6.
BTW - I sheltered homeless war veterans for 6 years in the 1980's. I sold the shelter I was legal owner of to Cath Social Services for $1 and it is still sheltering homeless families 16 years later. My friends in the homeless business say the Iraq war veterans are getting totally hosed by the military and VA.
I got a Hawking USB with an antenna on it. That really helps me to leech, er, acess the web. It is RT73. I had to configure it manually, but works well now. Documentation a little turgid, but it works. The Edi-Max site probably has a slick set up for it by now. Kubuntu.
The USB ones can be exceedingly difficult to get to work. The directional antenna on this one really does work for me.
The next time your in Canada, fly to Cuba. It is the "place to go" in Canada for the winter holiday.
Just hang out at the curling rink in Canada and listen the richer women compete in the hierarchy of winter vacation spots. Cuba trumps Costa Rica trumps Aucapulco etc.
There was a lot of work where Chemistry, Biology and Physics come together back in the 1980's trying to prove in vitro usage of tunneling mechanisms for several enzymes and energy chains. Proving in vivo was a "flash" usuallly. Some of these were hypothesized as also being phonon (yes phonon) assisted.
There is a reason why enzymes and proteins are shaped as they are - and q.m. tunneling is often part of the reason why.
There is just a gorgeous beauty to certain enzymes that is hypnotic to me.
Actually a fan of King Crimson and the stutter step release of albums by Mr. Fripp, who would possibly be more avant garde ish like Eno but much more hard and edgy.
If you at all keep up with anything local or county wide, you are going to know at least two people that you know you want to vote against.
Go out, and vote for the person(s) running against those you know to be totally inept, evil, inane, crazy and leave all the rest blank.
The person running against them can't be any worse.
It was a joy voting for my ex neighbor in the primary in Iowa for governor last June, he lived in the hood with us and played organ at the Methodist church when I went there in the 1990's. Get out and meet more people concerned with the future of this planet, and maybe you might be voting for them in a few years time.
And remember - the most important elections are for school boards. That is one of the most important votes, and the place where one vote might really make a difference.
There was nothing totally hideous about the upgrade. However it was a total pain in the butt from the beginning of the hiccup of the download, the repeated administration of disp-upgrade to get everything down, the apt-get clean and the dpkg --configure -a to finally get the last two packages.
And then no X. AND NO LINKS either. However lynx did work, as did the XP on HDA!.
You have to all too often apt-get xorg xserver with the final suffix of your graphical card. Granted that was a lot easier than Corel 2.o for me and editing X files, this was no stroll through the park and took way too much time.
Having said that - the Edgy Eft is not bloatware, it just feels more right. And several nagging little things have disappeared, cruft that was - "oh, I would like to fix that my way - but I don't want to research how to do it right now is just gone. I was really set to just go Mac because I grew so weary of RPM hell, and well, I won't upgrade right off the bat again for a long while.
well, definitely not a 4 ranking, but this is not a zero. As others explain similarly, the definitions used do not scream out dc to dc.
Is the decrease in size incremental or revolutionary? If incremental, mod parent up. Incremental change in a niche market, yawn. And I really doubt you would want to go with the first iteration in automotive dc land.
I just wish itx would get cheaper. Neither of my first two semi bleeding edge mini-itx boxen work, but my AMD 350 works well enough still with xubuntu.
No, if this is one of the highlights, 2006 promises to be a very dull year.
Omaha World Herald was working on a story on wiretapping back in the 1980's. They were blown away by the numbers of wiretaps being done around Omaha and also into Iowa. Mostly based against the pacifists opposed to nuclear weapons.
I have no doubt that the phone at our soup kitchen back then was tapped. After all, we would go out to the Strategic Nuclear base and cross the line on Hiroshima Day and Feast of the Holy Innocents. Oh yes, people will be getting detained again this Feast of Holy Innocents again and doing six months federal time again.
No internal Americans - poppycock. Two friends of mine that I have been in the same house with and another friend were indicted by a Federal Terrorism Task Force over plannig some mild civil disobedience less than two years ago. The feds tried to get Drake University (where the meeting was held) to bend over and release things, but a wave of revulsion via Senators Grassley, Harkin, a wave of outrage from over twenty university presidents across the nation and a lot of press got those grand jury subpoenas squashed - but have no doubt that Brian Terrels phone up on the third floor of the American Friends Service Committee in Des Moines Iowa is tapped, Yes, they tapped and bombed the AFSC building in Des Moines back in the late 1960's and early 1970's. Have not doubt that they are doing it again - gotta protect the United States from those dangerous Quakers.
Trust me, my friend F. Jerry Zawada who just got back into the States from a 4 day fast by fence in Guantanamo in Cuba has a phone that is tapped now. As does Frida Berrigan.
Trust me, those pacifists at Nukewatch believe that their phone is tapped.
Why should it be any business of the United States government if I email over to Ciarron OReilly in Ireland. So he and his friends took hammers and blood and did $500,000 damage to a US war bird while it was parked over in Shannon Airfield in Ireland. He has not been found guilty of anything in Ireland (however he did lose his US citizenship back in the 1980's over doing the hammer and blood ploughshares thing in the United States at an air force base).
No, the facist surveillance of pacifists was known to us pacifists back in the 1980's when many of us were sheltering homeless war veterans back then. And I have no doubt that it continues to my friends in the US now.
One could make a case that every bulleted item in there could also apply to the poster.
He hasn't been a leader, he was comfortable under someone who was not a ball of fire.
Since his supervisor left, it does not sound like he has been able to communicate a proposal to save money in the long run and make IS more robust and functional. The converse - he has not let them know that he is working at a pace that he cannot continue.
He has been there for a long number of years, and everyones perception there is probably that he is the IS guy under so and so. He should have gone for a lateral move somewhere during that long time there if he was hungry.
He either has to be comfortable staying in an IS department the way it is and working way too hard - or find another job.
He is not percieved as a leader.
It is too late to make a lateral move. It is time to make a shift to a slightly larger company and work second shift. If the present employer does military work - he has security clearances and HR's elsewhere will see someone to trust immensely - as opposed to many 22 year old grads (sorry). It sounds like he religiously came into work, and did not screw up. He is the perfect second bannana - and many people would love him to be in charge on their second shift.
Say what you will about Gnome. The only way I could get my open source drivers Epson 84 to print under Kubuntu in Cups was the Gnome cups manager. I am thankful for that.
I do use KDE. That Java isn't totally open source and QT wasn't totally open source arguements were not enough to get me to use Gnome or do the purist Debain java workarounds. You have to trust some businesses to do the right thing - as I did and do Opera, KDE and Sun Java.
However, KDE throws way way too much stuff on a standard install. I was pleased that the new iteration is quicker than the previous. They still throw too much stuff on. It is not like kernel modules. If I do not have a scanner presently and my camera doesn't work well with any of the photo managers - why should they be automatically installed. I just use a bash script to get my photos onto the machine and then convert jpgs also into tiffs.
If I had any time to play I would go with the xubuntu which supposedly is a bit faster for my older machines.
And as for the comment that for Ubuntu Gnome is better supported than Kde - well - if Mr. Shuttleworth is running Kubuntu - I suspect that the support will be pretty equal in the near future. Although they should just drop Kynaptic and just go with synaptic.
In closing, KDE really needs to prune / make optional many things. And I get tired of always having to go back and install more GTK Gnome libraries for apps./usr/libs just keeps growing and growing and growing. peace, mark
Many of those involved in anti ELF (Extremely Low Frequency) Trident boomer communications feel that one major reason that the Navy SNCC (Strategic Nuclear Command Control) pulled the plug on ELF was that HAARP could handle the wake up call communication to the deeper than 150 metre SBM platforms. The ELF sites in Wisconsin and upper Michigan were shut down awhile back.
And I am sure there is some interesting plasma radiation studies that happen also.
well, three years ago I was listening to people talk about kits that cost $700 to electrolyze water via electricity from the alternator. Technically, it sounded good, good for someone driving a pick up truck long miles on rural roads. But the claims were not verifiable. I figured that if there was anything to it, that it would start happening.
Evidently there is.
So - how can the price be brought down? When will auto makers bring this on as an acessory?
She mentions that the company has a reputation of building on moraines.
Moraines are glacial till. Spill diesel fuel or other things and it goes straight into the ground water, no filtration basically. So, 1. Often a bad site to build on. 2. One litre of diesel fuel or other petrochemical liquid poisons one million litres of water. I used to test water for five years for a state environmental testing laboratory.
Watersheds are important things to preserve. Who knows what else she is doing that is also important.
Tactically for environmental preservation and education I would consider that she was acting in an effective manner.
As Ellul said, Think globally and act locally.
The best movements are formed in the neighbourhood.
Actually, what with usage of solar power, you can eliminate the inverters. True, most places you will still need inverters for back up (and good ones). But people who run on photovoltaics for their house (like some of my off grid friends in Wisconsin, etc) try to maximize the number of appliances that will run off of dc.
Going to dc either via photovoltaics and / or one really good inverter also yields much "cleaner" juice - much of what comes down the line can be quite brown and jagged. The large efficient inverter would contain a much better line conditioner.

And in Winnipeg, a city of 650.000 - we like our MUUG - the Manitoba Unix User Group.
After all - some are Unix by day and Linux by night (and vice versa).
