With all these folks going on about how great Outlook 2003 is, no one mentions the price.
If you are an academic, you can get Office 2003 fairly cheap, but for the average shmo that has to buy at retail at bestbuy/amazon, $275 to upgrade old version of office, and $430 for a new one.
I can't think of any features in Office 2003 that are so good I'd give up Star Office and Mozilla Mail and pay the Microsoft tax.
2) Fine, pretend it was a vandalism claim that exceeds your deductable. You're being held accountable for the illegal actions of another person. Is -that- acceptable to you? If you didn't want it to happen, after all, you didn't need to park on the street.
Gee.. That just happened to me. Parked on the street outside the public library for ten minutes. Come back out to my car, and the hood was crunched where some idiot in a pickup/SUV backed into me. The damage was over my headlights and grille and on the hood. No witnesses and I have a $1000 deductable on collision and comprehensive. I'll end up paying for the whole thing out of pocket.
That being said. I'd rather have that happen to me than have big brother watching allways.

To resolve this problem, Griffith has created a prototype device to test the human eye. Patients need only wear the device, which looks like an oversized pair of goggles, and look at the world around them. An electronic sensor superimposed on the goggles monitors the lens in the wearer's eye and adjusts the device's lens to cancel the refractive errors, thus determining the correct prescription.
This sounded like even cooler tech to me. I like the idea of something that takes away the subjectivness of the traditional exam for a prescription. He could even throw a glaucoma tester into the goggles.
I remember watching it with my fiance' in 1981. Been married to her since 1982.
We enjoy our DVD of it. We also have a copy of the Radio play that I converted from cassette tape to MP3 format. Perfect for those long car trips.
Only problem is the cast is all 24 years older now. A bit too old for the parts now. All except for Marvin and the Vogon captain I expect. Nothing like those cheesy BBC special effects, like Zaphod's extra head.
My Casio G-Shock was purchased in 1993 and is still on the original battery. I've beat the hell out of it, been scuba to 90ft a couple of times, and even wore it in hot tubs a few times. Only thing that is pooping out is the little tiny lightbulb. So dim you can't check time in the dark anymore.
From Mandrake's board..
Company: Bad news, good news...
Posted by Deno on Friday, January 24 @ 00:52:35 CET ( reads) Things are changing very fast these days, some for the better, some for the worst. You already know the bad news: MandrakeSoft was forced to fill "cessation des paiements", which is a French equivalent of "chapter 11" protection. I am preparing an article with more details about this, but for now let me just tell you that this isn't necessarily such bad news as it sounds at first, and that it may end up being very good news for us in the long term. In short, "The news of our death has been greatly exaggerated"..-)
More about this later.
Another unpleasant news is that I still have problems with answering the avalanche of mails that are arriving these days, but things are improving. Now to the good news.
1. MandrakeClub is on a way up (and how!), as some very important bricks are finally getting in their positions.
2. Mark has managed to clean up most of the mess on MandrakeStore. Some of the old orders may still be outstanding (please contact us again, and you'll get either your money back or your product immediately!), but everything else works way better than ever before, new orders are shipped correctly, emails are answered promptly, etc. In case of problems, please send me an email (oops, I said it again!) and the problem will be no-more.

I think another major difference, was that Lunokhod was nuclear powered as opposed to solar/battery. Spirit only has a few nuclear heaters to keep the electronics warm.
I just installed 3 Blade1500 workstations. We run a legacy medical PACS system that is based on Sun boxes. We are running anywhere from Sparc 4s to the Sunblade range. We are currently using the Blades to drive 4 three megapixel x 10 bit Dome monitors. They work great in that application, and that is what our software runs on. The vendor that we have our PACS system with is moving to a PC/Linux platform, but for the legacy software we run now, the Blades offer a lot of bang for the buck.
BTW, the build quality of the machines is to the usual high Sun standard. I like the looks of them as well.
Iowa isn't mountainous, but it is far from flat. Plenty of opportunities to loose your digital cellular signal among the rolling plains and river valleys.
Read the article in today's Cedar Rapids Iowa Gazette. There is no free online access to the article though. Gazette is pay to read.
Anyhow.. he had it installed at Ultimate Electronics.. Good place to do business with. Much more knowledgable than Best Buy and customer service is way better.
Seems like a lot of dough for the stations to upgrade for digital though. The FM station said it cost them $250k, and the AM station said $100k when all is said and done.
Don't know why Cedar Rapids had the distinction of having the first install. Was the technology Rockwell/Collins developed?
They might put the box in all cars as it is easier to manufacture that way. Possibly integrate it with the car's stereo. You wouldn't have to have an Onstar button for the behind the scenes stuff to be there and be operating.
New Saturn Minivan the Relay has Standard Onstar at all trim levels. They throw in a year of emergency service for free.
I'd bet GM will start putting Onstar standard in many new cars since the greater numbers will make it cheaper per unit. You might not even know you have it.
I guess if you are shopping for a car, that's one thing you might want to look out for. I imagine there will be procedures posted on line for disabling the Onstar system, or at least crippling it. I know that's one of the first things I'd do.
Slashdot Mirror
Wouldn't that apply to just about all electronics production?
I would venture to say that a lot of Public Radio listeners are Mac users. Wouldn't going with Windows Media format cut off all of those users?
What generic format is cross platform friendly other than Real? Bear in mind that complete noobs have to be able to install it.
Target might be a good store, but ever since they changed to a super target, I quit shopping there.
The el-humungo stores have driven me away.
Tits are free. No coupon required, and it's always ready.
Good B.O.C. reference, and me with no mod points today... darnit..

I had to turn off pop-up blocking to get it to go on to the article. Stuck here at work using IE with the google toolbar.
If it changes how it executes every time, it sounds like it would be a fantastic way to introduce unreproducable bugs.
I'm sure this would make QA testing a nightmare.
This sounded like even cooler tech to me. I like the idea of something that takes away the subjectivness of the traditional exam for a prescription. He could even throw a glaucoma tester into the goggles.
Yeah.. That is pretty strange. My first thought after reading the headline was Bender.
Damn.. and I had mod points yesterday.
Great "Princess Bride" reference!

At Nellis AFB in Nevada, they had a threat museum that had all kinds of captured Soviet gear/weapons.
You had to have at least a secret clearance to go through it. That was back in the 80's though.
