Some of us leave our machines always logged on, or 'locked'. I'd know real fast if it automatically rebooted and I was at a fresh login screen. It doesn't happen to me.
If your drivers are good, and your hardware is good, you shouldn't be getting bluescreens.
There are several different mechanical brake types used in elevators. Some use no cables, others use a separate cable which is dedicated only to the braking system, and is in no way related or dependent on tension from the lifting cables.
What happens if the seal is lost on the top portion?
Exactly the same thing that happens in a standard elevator if the cable breaks. Purely mechanical brakes are activated if the elevator moves downward at too fast of a rate.
No. They are the same type purely mechanical types used in your standard elevator. If the cable breaks on a normal elevator, they also need to have some means of preventing you from plummeting to your death. The same systems are in use. Engineers thought long long ago about power failures during emergencies. You aren't the first to think about it.
Just to be fair, Windows servers have supported Appletalk sharing for years (since the NT4 days at least, I can't remember if if was in 3.x or not, it's been too long). They haven't had a client, but they have had a server. But yes, it would be nice if they'd add a client rather than make you use 3rd party clients.
You do realize they are talking about putting this in schools for all the kids, not just the geeks right?
Lots of folks end up in boring low paying jobs. That makes up a large portion of the types of jobs that exist in the world. We need people to do these jobs.
Putting Linux and OO on a machine in school is not going to transform most of the folks who typically end up in those kind of jobs in to uber hackers who can avoid the 'lame' jobs, and get something more high tech.
There is probably water at deeper levels in the martian soil. All you need is to dig a well to get at it. Digging the well might be tough, so I suggest looking for the beagle probe. It should have given you a good head start on the hole.
What about a regard for the authors/artist orignal intent, do you not think that should be given some level of creedance above and beyond my own interpertation of a given piece of artwork?
Oftentimes fans and critics read much into a piece of work that an author/artist never intended. Some of the artists hate this. Others love it. Which is right? Neither. It's subjetive.
Why are there so many schools of thought? Why so many methodologies? Because it is subjective.
I can talk about my work to another scientist from the other side of the world, from an entirely differnt culture. When I talk about an experiment I did that show phosphorylation on the 7th amino acid of a particular protien under certain conditions, he can study the phosphorylation using a different experimental method, and he will come to exactly the same conclusion. It's a fact.
Good vs Bad is subjective. Always. Doubt it? Give me an example of something that is universally 'good'. Universally 'bad'. In philosphy, there is the study of 'truth'. Not the study of 'good'. Why? Good is subjective. There is the hope that truth isn't;)
What about experts in the same field?
You mean like professional critics who have had all that fancy lurnin like you?
Lets look at professional movie critics. I guess they all agree if a movie is good if it 'truly' is, right? Nope. How about theatre critics. All the learned critics in New York must all give similar reviews to new plays right? Nope. How about artwork in galleries? Nope.
Why? Because it is all subjective.
Why do folks watch Siskel and Ebert (Roper now) or read the reviews of any critics? Do the two critics always agree? Nope. People are familiar with them and their reviews. They know roughly how they judge movies, what they generally like and what they hate. From these reviews, they can evaluate if the movies are probably to their taste, even if they aren't to the critics.
What I am pushing towards is that artwork and its interpretation are not a matter of opinion, it is a matter of facts. Facts about the author and his culture. Facts about the viewer/reader and his culture.
Yes, yes it is a matter of opinion. It is not fact. Just because an artist intended to express something, that doesn't mean he work was successful in expressing that intent to the audience. Even an audience of experts. Perhaps he expressed something entirely different to them than what he intended.
We can establish that there are certain facts about an author and his intent
No you can't. First of all that would require you have to direct information direct from the artist about that piece of work. Some artists don't like to express their intent. They prefer that you infer what you like. Some are just recluses and don't like talking to others about their work. Some die before anyone can ask them about some piece.
Even if an artist does tell you what he intended, how do you know he is telling the truth? What if he was intending something else subconsciously? Once again, you have no real FACTS.
I also say we can establish certain facts about person making the critique's ability to understand a given piece of art and his cultures ability to understand it.
That's a loaded piece of crap. You are making HUGE assumptions if you think you know my or any other critics background, training, or baggage. There is an entire industry in trying to figure out what the general public, as consumers/critics will like. The professionals fail at it regularly. Often quite horribly. You don't know all the FACTS about any audience.
If we take these four facts and judge someone's interpretation against them, we can make a value judgment about that piece of art within my context and within the artists context.
How pompous can you get? You are making a subjective value judgment about how well someone else has made
This is art (writing) we are talking about, not science. There are no facts about which is intrinsically better, only opinions, and mine are just as valid as his. That's what I was saying about those crazed trekkies know as much about good sci-fi as much as he does. They might not write it, but they very well may read/watch as much or more than he does.
Frankly you are right, some of the great "sci-fi" Card was talking about is fantasy, not sci-fi. More than Galactica, I'm surprised he didn't mention the change the studios/networks were willing to go to with Babylon 5 and it's 5 year story arc. Yes, the acting was cheesy, but the commitment to a long changing character cast and plot was a big leap for the networks vision of what a sci-fi show could be like.
Exactly what I was thinking. "Being John Malkovich", that's great sci-fi??? Card should go back and hope he can write another good book like Enders Game. Most of the rest of his work has been very very non-memorable. I think he's shown he dosn't have any better of an idea what good sci-fi is than the Trek freaks.
Since it's a social organization and has nothing to do with the government, I'd suppose theyd feel about the same that a pope in Italy is the religious leader of a large segment of the American people. They wouldn't care. It has nothing to do with government. If the Boy Scouts want to have a silly badge, well so what? It won't be the first silly thing they've done. Get over it.
Buddy, I've been paying 'real' taxes for 25 years. Apparently I just don't want my tax dollars wasted, but you do. Maybe you will decide waste is bad too once YOU are paying.
Yes, a high school junior should know better than to shag a sophmore. Do I want to spend my tax dollars correcting him? No. I'd just as soon leave that up to the sophmore's parent, and whatever firearm he/she decides to scare the living crap out of him with.
Yep. I've seen cases where a 17 year old boy sleeps with a 15 year old girlfriend. Get's caught... statutory rape conviction. That makes him a sex offender by law. Now, I'm not real pro young kids sleeping with each other, but I'd hardly consider that 17 year old a 'sexual preditor' that needs to be monitored for the rest of his life. That's just wrong. And asking me as a taxpyer to pay for that is crazy.
Don't worry over it, if a fundy irritates you, check out what he is wearing. Chances are he will be wearing clothing made from more than one fabric. In that case, stone him. The bible says that's what you are supposed to do. Remind him you can't just have a strict interpetation of 'parts' of the bible.
Slashdot Mirror
Maybe you should have tried it since the windows 9x series.
It also only works on tumors which express a gene which normal cells don't. That's also not true for the vast majority of cancers that we know of.
If your drivers are good, and your hardware is good, you shouldn't be getting bluescreens.
As the coward said. Stop spreading FUD. That's not true at all BITS can do resume on downloads, just fine.
Make that 'whether'. My bad.
Your wrong. It's for everyone. Weather they are on trial or not.
Here's a quick googled link for just one of the systems that uses an independent cable system: http://www.msha.gov/S&HINFO/TECHRPT/HOIST/PAPER5.H TM. That's just one type, there are several others.
Exactly the same thing that happens in a standard elevator if the cable breaks. Purely mechanical brakes are activated if the elevator moves downward at too fast of a rate.

You need to find a UNIX spell checker then. The word you are looking for is 'taught'.
Unix is the way to go.
Yeah. It's sure done you a lot of good.Lots of folks end up in boring low paying jobs. That makes up a large portion of the types of jobs that exist in the world. We need people to do these jobs.
Putting Linux and OO on a machine in school is not going to transform most of the folks who typically end up in those kind of jobs in to uber hackers who can avoid the 'lame' jobs, and get something more high tech.
HP already sells AMD chips in addition to Intel. It's Dell that is the single-CPU maker holdout.
That's why I said 'can'. I see you skipped the NYU course on reading comprehension.

HP, IBM, etc, etc... Just a few of the companies that sell AMD64 machines.
