Depends. Have you been getting spam from your cable company on it? I got rid of my digital cable partially for that reason- I got tired of the spam for PPV that kept putting a stupid little envelope icon on the screen whenever I changed channels. (that, and I wasn't really watching the upper level channels anyway).
My point was only two types of people VOTE Republican- the rich and those too stupid to realize that Republicans raise taxes on the poor and middle class by shifting funding from federal to either local or loans. Thus, a lower standard of education helps them get more poor and middle class voters. If the liberals were smart- they'd push hard for literacy for all programs, where kids don't advance in school until they actually succeed, and also start requiring high school diplomas to vote.
Ok- I get it- should have thought that through more carefully. We do have a few MSDE installations running on XP machines that could be affected though- and while we have a couple of major SQL Server 7.0 installations running on XP machines, it won't be THAT hard to avoid SP2ing them, or modifying exceptions on the firewall appropriately.
That's gotten rid of about two thirds of my list. Got any solution for legacy compilers and NX bits? Other than going to.NET Studio 2004? It's amazing what gets used here- we've even got a few PowerBuilder 4 applications still in use.
Why not? After all- it's not like private industry will hire me anymore, and living in a capitalist society I've got to eat.
Now if I can only get hired PERMANENT, I'll be right where I want to be- working for the Good of the State, with the State taking care of my needs in return. Perfect...
That would be against the Right Wing Conspiracy- which aims to keep kids illiterate and stupid so that they will vote pro-life and against their own financial interests. Why do you think they failed to fund "No child left behind"? Disney, of course, being married to Jeb Bush for huge tax breaks on large properties in Orlando, is all for the right wing conspiracy.
Uh- XP won't let you throw the Windows ( or any other important system folder or file) in the trash- if you try, it's detected and bounces back from whence it came in about 5 seconds.
But I completely agree- and while my wife is a Disney freak and is quickly turning our kid into a disney/nick freak, I think I'll wait until say, this time next year or the year after when this thing starts appearing on E-bay for under $200.
Now, now- that guy was exhonorated in a court of law after only 15 minutes of jury deliberation- once it was noticed that the 3" of foam padding in the paws meant that there was NO WAY he meant to fondle the 13-year-old; or at least, no way to get any fun out of it.
On second thought- given that your prediction is probably right- I think I'll save my $1000 now and for my kid's third birthday (he's 1 now) I'll teach him to use E-Bay and get one of these much cheaper....
Or home LANS. But apparently nobody checked out other sources either- Comp USA will be selling it for $599 WITHOUT THE MONITOR- which they'll charge another $299 for.
Still, $600 entry level PCs aren't uncomon- and for a flat 14" touch screen with built in sound, $299 ain't half bad either.
I think I'll buy it for my kid- then when he gets to be 6, and can read, I'll install Linux or DOS or whatever the heck he wants instead after wiping the hard drive.
Policy settings over the network is certainly going to be the answer to this- and actually, our initial test used RC1 not RC2. I'm going on the Microsoft White Papers and what our DBA guys told me- so it's nice to have a second opinion that 1433 is indeed unblocked from the client side on RC2.
Have you tried it with MSDE as well? We've got a few under-5-user apps that use MSDE for highly secure databases (what can I say, I didn't write the software!) that are limited in scope to a small work unit.
This place feels like it's in a time warp- my main job I was really hired for was upgrading Access 97 Databases to Access 2002- skipping 2000- for the great "let's upgrade every other cycle" push of finally rolling out XP to NT 4.0 users (which won't be completed until around October 2005). Naturally, we have external, internal, and Application Developer customers, all of whom are going to be affected in some way. Turned out to be 1600 entries in the approved software list, ~279 of which are going to need retesting under SP2 and either special firewall rules or leaving NT 4.0 machines for people to do some of their work on. Only about half the 4500 machines in this agency have been switched over to AD/XP so far. Luckily- we don't use DHCP as a rule, somebody really likes static addresses for everything other than laptops, so the grand majority are static IP. I hope that gets corrected as well before final release.
Too right- my government agency that I'm contracting with is kind of late living up to this menace- I'm preparing a report for Monday on just how many "approved" software packages will be affected if we install internally. I'm only up to T in the 1400 software pagages that are approved for installation on these government computers- and already have 6.5 pages of Times New Roman 14point single-software-to-a-line list of potentially impacted software. The big sticking point is Microsoft SQL Server itself- the automatic personal firewall settings in SP2 limit SQL Server connections to named pipes, which are relatively new for a shop that has been on SQL Server since version 5....
Oz should not sign the FTA. As has been proven by just about any high tech union out there, FTAs are evil in and of themselves. Especially FTAs with the United States, which lower the standard of living of all middle class citizens in both countries. The only people who profit from FTAs are large multinational corporations.
2nd reply- the Snap 27 itself would be a bad choice anyway, due to the fact that it uses a particularily expensive and hard to handle fuel, Plutonimum 238.
True, the isotope of plutonium is relatively safe compared with the weapons grade P236, but surface temperature of the fuel rod is 500 degrees C- which means basically factory assembly and total sealing/shielding would be REQUIRED for a civilian version. This would raise problems for the "cold" side of the thermocouple- which would have to be external.
The question that evens out the score is- would a volunteer army that consists mainly of poor people, fire on other poor people to defend the rich? If that poll was taken, it'd give us the answer.
Paranoia and Safety can be engineered around. The physical limit on power vs. weight cannot- and that's where the real problem lies. Charging while stationary though- that would be interesting, but how long would it take for a 75 W nuclear battery to charge an electric car or even a scooter?
The second bit- using electric vehicles for short journeys- surprises me too- after all, an electric scooter only costs $100-$250, depending on model, and is great for urban driving (in fact, it's better than a car- during high traffic times I can go places on a scooter that no car ever could). Not so great for my 50 mile (each way!) commute though.
It's paraphrased from the Myth Adventures Series- from the description of a race of super-merchants known as deevils....modern C-level executives must be descended from them.
Yes, but my house doesn't go rolling around the highways and exposing itself to collisions.
However it's the same principle- you simply engineer the shielding to the situation. Like I said- lead is a great collision force absorbtion material.
And don't the nuc batts carry a lot more of the stuff?
Depends on the engineering, how much power you want, etc. But we're talking FAR less than critical mass- and not even enough to cause radiation burns with limited exposure. You could easily work with the elements involved bare skin, as long as you limit total exposure- and you probably get way more exposure from an X-ray in your dentist's office, and they carry those in ambulances. This stuff is WAY safer than you'd think- just because something is radioactive internal to it's shielding doesn't mean that externally it is harmfull.
There was a large outcry when NASA starte launching rockets with the stuff, but it was quickly pointed out that even in the worst case (rocket blows up, splits the canister in two, leaving the radiation source in a single lump someplace) that much larger lumps of radioactive material exist naturally all over the planet- and don't do very much harm to the environment.

Worse yet- will we need firewalls for hardware firewalls designed on Windows Mobile/Embedded? The recursion could be endless.
This better get modded offtopic!

It is not a crt- it's a touch screen LCD. And the $400-$600 price range is about right for a 2.6 Ghz celeron these days.

5-12 is the age range- that makes it late 1990s and House of Mouse time. Buzz Lightyear was EARLY 1990s.
Mickey's House of Mouse series came out on DVD less than two years ago- and seems to have a new one every Christmas.
