Server is headless, keyboardless, mouseless, administered remotely.
If you can get permission, make the servers *nix. Not just for the obvious security/stability issues, but because unlike Gatesware, *nix servers will come back up after a power failure without needing somebody to come around and log in. If you have Gatesware servers all over the campus, it can take hours to get them all up and running if there's only one tech to go around and log into each one. And even if there's something that needs human attention after a crash, if it boots at all, you can always use ssh from a central location to do what's needed, saving the time spent on a personal visit.
There is nothing unconstitutional about a public school system... as long as the Federal has absolutely nothing to do with it.
When the Washington DC school system is the best in the nation, the Feds will be able to claim they know more about running schools than anybody else. Until it is, instead of the cesspit it is now, they should shut up and mind their own business.
I think the best bang for the buck in Japanese domestic market watches is the Seiko Alpinist -- $300 -- and includes auto calendar, GMT hand, titanium, and 5 year battery.
Nice, but a $50 Timex or Boliva will tell the time just as well.
If you really want to geek out, you've got to get a Timex Datalink. Not only does it have a neat set of functions, you set it by connecting it to your PC.
I've heard that it was developed because Bill Gates mentioned to a Timex executive that he'd always wanted a watch he could set from his PC, so they came up with one. Mine is a few years old and reads barcodes off the screen; the newest ones hook up with USB. In either case, get one and geek out.
Where is the water level? It should be way down because ICE displaces MORE space than WATER..... Wtf am I missing? How can melting ice cause the earths water level to go UP?
The glacers aren't presently in the ocean, they're on land. All the melt goes into the ocean, adding to the total volumn.
Fill a glass half-full with water. Balance a flat sheet of glass over half the top, and put some ice on it. Let the ice melt and watch the water flow into the glass. The level will rise.
More data is needed and more work to interpret it. So the jury on the overall long term balance of the ice sheet is still out.
An excellent summation. The important thing now is to get enough data to know what's really happening before we try to change it. If it turns out that global wamring is just a minor blip on the climate graph, we could end up swinging it too far the other way into a new ice age by trying to stop it. Not that I expect that, mind you, but we do need to look before we leap.
I'll take that one. In a liquid water environment it's difficult to see how you'd end up with a biochemistry that wasn't nucleic acid, protein, carbohydrate and fatty acid based.
I'd be very astonished to learn that all life on all planets uses the same DNA/RNA combination we use. There almost certainly are other combinations of amino acids that can be used for the coding, and different chemicals for the backbone. It may be that DNA/RNA simply got started first and spread fast enough that the alternatives never had a chance. On some other planet, a differnent one might easily have gotten the needed head start. Until and unless we go and look, we'll never know.
HR and many managers would view it as incompetance. If employee x is that underpaid then why didnt he/she leave? Is she really not worth what she is being paid?
Why hasn't she left yet? Because she's not found her next job yet. Why do you think she's interviewing with you if she's not looking for a better job? Now, if she's been working for that company for ten years and been underpaid the whole time, you might wonder why she stayed there so long.
If you are going to do a random audit, someone knows which precinct it is in, and just rigs the ones in other precincts.
How? The decision on which precicts to audit isn't (or shouldn't be) taken until after the polls close, so nobody can tell in advance which ones are safe to rig. The best way to do that is have the decsion made by computer, picking a certain percentage of the precincts using a random number generator.
Turkey guts are what one plant uses, because it was built near a convenient turkey processing plant. Add in chickens, beef and pork byproducts, even fish guts and skin, and the quantitiy rises substantially. Not, I'll agree, enough to take over from regular petroleum, but enough to lower our dependancy on imports to some extent.
As for other resources, petrol is probably the biggest concern, bar none. It's the only material that we can't recycle, replace with nuclear power, sythesize, or mine from elsewhere in our solar system.
I take it, then, that you've never heard of biodeisel? I've also read reports of pilot plants for transforming various animal biproducts such as turkey grease, into petroleum. Not ready for commercial production, yet, but it's not energy negative.
Here's a solution that would work if we had a real leader as president of the U.S., and not someone who is only interested in benefiting the rich.
The less people spend on spamvertized junk, Nigerian scams, phishing and other fraud, the more they have to spend on legitimate merchandise and services, often sold by business owned by rich people. Thus, cutting down on spam benefits the rich.
Instead just use authentication. Not on your whitelist? it sends an email back asking if you are a real person. At which point it puts you on a temp list until you confirm or deny they email.
My ISP does exactly that if you have your anti-spam setting at High. Unless the sender's on your whitelist, it puts the message in a "suspect" folder and emails back a request for authentication. You have (I think; I don't bother with it myself.) 72 hours or so to reply, after which it's presumed spam.
It isn't a feature, and it never was one, either. It's a bug that they don't want to fix. Take a look at this definition at FOLDOC, paying particular attention to section six.
I defined middle click to be something I'd use on a day to day basis long before I installed FF. Changing the way I work simply to accomodate one program would be silly.
The only right the Smith estate actually sold was the right to translate the series into Japanese. The company simply assumed they had the right to do so in any way they wanted and produced that abortion without permission. I agree that it's awful and will mention that I've never managd to sit through more than 15 minutes of it. How they decided that a spaceship should look like a tuning fork going prongs first in a universe where the limit of speed in space is friction, I'll never know. (BTW, I was told the above by Doc Smith's younger daughter at LaCon II in 1984.)
I hardly ever need the middle button for anything outside of FF, and I can use click and hold in a number of programs. The only, slight problem is that the mousedriver's settings override FF, and I can live with it. I mentioned it just to show that it doesn't quite always work.
I know when I close tabs the memory usage doesn't go down.
Depending on how the heap gets allocated and when, it's possible that the tabs you still have open are "above" the ones you've closed, so they can't be released yet. As an example, if you have five tabs open, and close the second one, the cache for tabs 3, 4 and 5 will be past that for the one you closed. Have you tried closing the newest ones first?
What I'd like to see done, and done right, is The Lensman Series, by E.E. "Doc" Smith. Yes, you'd pretty much have to re-write all the dialogue because Smith's writing style wasn't that good, but the story itself is a real classic. Most people reading it today find it cliched, but that's because Smith created the cliches and everybody's been copying him since then. I've heard that Lucas originally wanted to do this, but Smith's daughter turned him down. If so, there's a lot in the Jedi that looks like it was lifted out whole cloth.
One of my friends loved it, for one reason: the Vogons were exactly the way she'd always pictured them. Personally, I'd imagined them as more lumpy and rounded, but I thought they were great.
Also, when they're trying to get Trillian back, you can see the Marvin from the old TV movie if you watch closely.

I don't know. I too have one of those adapters, but only because it doesn't work with a laptop screen.
Nice, but a $50 Timex or Boliva will tell the time just as well.

Unless my memory's worse than I think it is, tidal forces are gradually pushing the Moon away from the Earth, not toward it.

Not for me. I use a three-button Logitech trackball and have the middle-click assigned to "click and hold," and that overrides everything else.
