Looks like two people failed:P, R&D research has an 'effective upper bound', basically your return on investment drops significantly above a certain percentage. Why throw away money.
1% of the GDP, translated into % of employment may be quite significant in regards to job losses and a rais in unemployment. Especially when taking GDP distribution amongst the job market and population (for the thick skulled, this means the less the pay, the higher the unemployment stats will be).
A work college of mine had a similar thing, was basically a broken joystick that slid around the table. It was infuriating to use, but whatever gets you off I guess... This thing looks like a poor rip off.
Living in a backwater where packet shaping and other shenanigans (like providing 8Mbps line with 300MB allowance per month), I'd like to say... welcome to corporate greed.
PS: Best bit of advice, make them bleed while you can, and then change your service stating why you changed, It won't achieve much, but its about the best you can do.
Having had a long term interest in encryption and security I have always been curious about but have never been able to find any reliable information on the Windows built in NTFS encryption, does anybody know how good it is?
Also does anybody know if possible, how can one mount the home directory on logon with true crypt or even is it possible to run the OS on a encrypted volume?
Just remembered, your giant porn collection is going to ruin the day of the poor sap who got stuck with you recovery. Nothing like gigs of porn to hide that one secret master plan encrypted file.:)
Both the above comments are correct, yes, HDD densities are making it exceptionally difficult to utilize old methods of peripheral readings. However as with all technologies, there is progression on all fronts. New methods utilizing the analogue nature of HDD's using statistical means provides clues to the original data. There is an excellent paper on this, can't find the link but if your keen I'm sure Google will give it up.
Now back to the realities, if you use proper multi pass wiping software (same stuff that the gov's use) you should consider the data irrevocable. If the contents of the HDD is really that precious that it would require the vast sums of money to attempt a possible retrieval, you're probably not going to care about saving a few bucks and just stick it in a furnace.
It's like encryption, just how bad do you want to keep it safe, and how bad does someone else want to get at it.
Good god, this is like listening to Jocks talk about how they lost their iPod collection cause of that porn site they visited. This stupid dribble is making me dumber by the minute...
Go Google a beginners guide to disk encryption and get a clue.
I've seen it over and over in the industry, there is a distinct lack of parallel programming skill and knowledge, and even senior developers with years under their belt struggle with the fundamentals.
Parallel programming does add a layer of complexity and its inherent lack of general solutions does make abstracting its complexity away difficult, but I suspect that the biggest issue is the lack of training of the work force. It isn't something you can pick up easily without a steep learning curve with many hard lessons in it, definitely not something that can be incorporated as a new thing to be learnt on the fly with deadlines looming. Another aspect is that its fundamental to the design, parallelism can and often will dictate the design and if the software architects are not actively designing for it or are not experienced enough to ensure that it remains a viable future option, future attempts to parallelise can be difficult at best.
Ultimately the key issues are: * Lack of skill and training in the work force (including the understanding that there are no general solutions) * Lack of mature development tool to easy the development process (debugging tools especially)
Its interesting too observes what people will spout under guise of anonymity. Having actually researched the areas of your claims, your ignorance and intolerance highlights your contribution to the issues at hand.
I commend you on your faith but ask you too be aware of its consequences. I'm sure *your* sacred text will have a relevant quote.
I remember one old fart telling me how him and his buddies used to stand in front of the radar dishes in WWII to warm up in the winter nights. According to him it worked a tread. The fact that he is still alive and from the survival rate of his buddies I'd have to conclude that flying shrapnel is more deadly or even just day to day living for that matter than cooking yourself in front of a radar dish.
I did love the part where they measure the 'radiation' 100m from the cell phone tower, and then right at the laptop (did I mention they had to invoke a download?), and then exclaim that it was 3 times higher... inverse square law anybody? The presenter probably wouldn't have a clue what that means.
There is being cautious (not building schools next to highways/railway tracks/sex shops:P) and then there is tin foil being cautious.
Personally I say make it a mandate that all classrooms be RF shielded, lets see the little cunts try and text now.
A large number of these licenses will simply come about from site licenses, as described above. The fact that the majority are 'ultimate' licenses is indicative of this. To get a perspective on the actual numbers used on would one should probably look at the non-'ultimate' licenses, a much reduced number.
Remember if you purchased 'ultimate' it entitles you to run XP for gratuitous as well.
Hell this laptop has a vista license, not that its ever seen the light of day.
Pseudoscience at its worst, come on we all know the following:
* Building a new PC is far less environmentally friendly than upgrading, which is less than just keeping the existing hardware. The power/resources saved by newer more economical components will be shadowed by the amount of power/resources invested to manufacture these new components & the wastage associated with the disposal of the old components. * Vista requires a significant amount more power to run than XP, this simple known fact highlights the ignorance of the author(s) * Mobile CPU's are much more power friendly, come on, how can they justify their choice when they even list it as the top offender in power usage.... * Wireless components are more power efficient then a simple wire because.... Idiots. * A simple power meter would be a lot more accurate than mathing the Watt ratings on all the components.
Having actually seen the add I can tell you that the presentation made me want to go shoot some babies, honestly, I'm glad its off the air, pity it wasn't for the right reasons (Cute enough to want to make me scratch your eyes out obscenity). As for the actual reason, there was something in the presentation that made it not right, and yes I can just see some 4 year old grabbing mumies keys while she is topping up the Prozac, and attempting to have some 4 wheel fun.
Pity they don't let evolution run its course now days...
AutoPatcher anyone http://www.autopatcher.com/? First thing to run on any new install after the drivers are done.
Comes with all the latest 'Critical' as well as recommended patches, along with common a bunch of other wanted items (Java, TweakUi, PowerToys, Flash/Shockwave, etc) as well as a heap of tweaks out of the box!
No honestly its all sweet goodness, and will save you a lot of time and reboots.
The difference here is that the existing ship/sub reactors are self contained units that are manufactured at a site, sealed and deployed, then used for a fixed period before removal and decommissioning at a site again. Note that the majority and most common contamination scenarios happen not while deployed but at the manufacturing/decommissioning sites.
Having a fully functional nuclear power plant is a very different thing to having a sealed deployed reactor. The other factor is duration of use, the deployment is for a limited time, which is shorter than when most of the maintenance issues start to arise.
The majority of contamination occurs not from the main running process of the reactor (think Three Mile Island, Chernobyl), but rather all the other related process required for ongoing support of the reactor.
Another reason why this is a bad idea is the difficulty of contamination containment, however maybe this is the actual desired effect. No cleanup costs since it all gets washed away...
How is a 7800 an overkill for a AMD +3200, nForce2 MB, and 2GB of ram? Currently I have a FX 5600 which just can't hack the new games at the res's I've become acustomed to. The APG 7800 is a god send, even if I don't end up buying it, the cost of the 6800 Ultra is significatly reduced.

Some people have such a narrow mind set.
Obviously you are alliance or you would have not forgoten about:
RFC, Ragefire Chasm
and the following do get abriviated but are so unpopular that they seldom get named:
Mara, Maraudon
Ulada, Uladaman
