Not loving broadcasting protocols is not a Troll-like quality. It is a noble quality. A quality that shows that my wah is untroubled and serene - approaching the perfection even. Lights disturb my serenity when they blink when I DON'T want them to blink.
I suppose I will have to turn on that piece of broadcasting evil in my network now. Please say it isn't so. I thought I had eradicated every bit of network-clogging trash and now. . . .
One of the problems with this whole issue is the lack of a long view of corporate adoption and upgrades from the early eighties.
The changes have been frequent AND massive. People who have been in a single office for twenty years could have moved into nice new buildings several times for the money they put into automation. They are damn tired of it and rightly feel that if they could only have held off a few times, they could have bought a jet. Of course, they might miss opportunities as well. Who knows? Mainframes, minis, PCs with DOS, punch cards, reels of tape, huge aluminum disks, clay tablets et cetera. Microwaves, leased lines, messengers, sattelite uplinks, 1200 baud, 2400 baud, frame relay, TSU/DSU, serial cable, coax, cat3, cat5, fibre, routers, switches, wi-fi.
Twenty years is both a long time and a not-so-long time. What is certain is that they will talk to their friends who will *always* know more than you or me. They will ultimately make another unbelievably expensive move and hate it just as much as the last.
Microsoft Office is not a layout tool. Hence it can never format an inportant document reliably. Period, end of statement. Just because something looks good on your screen doesn't mean it makes it out safely. Try doing a layout to a tenth of a millimeter with Office. People who print for a living just never use Office unless they are forced to do so. If a prof can't find the "Save As" dialog, it doesn't make him a genius, it makes him something else. It may make him a member of the Education Department or some other group of button pushers.
lots of us use moodle at moodle.org - also at sourceforge - which is a totally great cms with a great development group i have used it for almost a year and a half with no problems although i am not a wonk and can't get the gd library going - bfd - my students love it, the other people in the department love it. i get kudos every exam day for hosting it in my lab now if i could only get the neetwork people to quit protecting me from evil hackers so the students could get to it from home. anyway, put up a copy and let a prof put a course on it.
Lots of times science fiction fans don't have a grounding in the literature or science. Maybe it's because they are from the fantasy camp and like McCaffery's crap. (Cattle would be more efficient anyway and they don't watch so much TV although their brains have a way of rotting on their own.):-))
I did some storyboards for a couple of guys who wanted me to rip off a copyrighted work. It was L.A. and they had money. The designs were not imaginative and were seriously bad. They didn't want to consider introducing anything technically sexy. No surprise their concept went to the trash can. Sometimes it's hard to distinguish the CG from reality - ie a good movie.
Ah yes, Dometic! I remember having to scrape the burner head every morning to get carbon particles off of it. I always wondered why it was sealed off from the interior.
Why hasn't anybody mentioned dessicant systems? Common you engineers out there!

Re: Your sig I don't believe the point of moderating is the determination of truth.
Moderation has to do with encouraging civilized discourse.
The discussion itself determines truth, insofar as the participants are able to comprehend it.
My sig, on the other hand, is strictly offensive.

If you use letters that are printed on a wave with a wavy black pattern running across them so that they appear as if someone spilled ink, it will work really well. I saw a demonstration at an optics and recognition guy's website. Just amazing what the human eye can recognize. The percentage of the letters that extends beyond the obscuring blob area is on the order of 30 to 40 percent of the letter. Sorry, I left the link at work and can't google it back.
for turbines. You just chase it around till it gives up. Well it's not corrosive is it?
I remember being mad at my Dad for not letting me mine cinnabar one summer to make extra money and become a man. I will never know if I would have killed myself, but I'm grateful I didn't have the chance.
I know who have been screwed over by Mormons are other Mormons. I'm not standing in a bigoted position. I'm in South Florida.
Now we're getting somewhere. You wanna talk about crooks? We got crooks. Big ones, little ones, you get the idea.
How about we RFID the crooks? The RFID could be made (extra large with solar cells) to intrude on all electromagnetic radiation making them unable to make a cell phone call or use a computer.
There was only one guy who would/could help me set up our digital TSU/DSU and I didn't know what one was at the time. The rest were in perpetual meetings. Pioneer used to be honest at least. I hated the lies from the born digital crowd. "Oh, didn't you say you wanted that in July not January?" Wasn't that their mantra? Or was it "Girdling the World with copper?" How about "Dominating the Low Voltage World."
Back on topic. A medical study was published in the last month or so that indicated early death risks are high for survivors of layoffs. Of course they didn't keep track of the lay-ees who presumably expired on the spot.
a person has to be thick as a brick to put the plastic thingie in backwards. My high school students have opened ours repeatedly to show off the cool plastic thingie and NEVER put it in wrong. We're talking constantly for the first month we had the damn thing.
Did anybody tell him to just use a DAT and turn off the computer? Simple minds, simple solutions.
Insulated air conditioning tubing is going to transmit less vibration. You need to make a plenum for the front and back.
This is so big and messy. Why don't you just use a KVM switch and locate in another room? In fact, why introduce your human noise into the enviornment? Move out with the box.
I had to set up in a room with a powered return and a drop. My buddy told me to run a duct between them. It took care of the noise nicely. Hot tho.
If one posits the users' systems are insecure because the OS can't protect itself. The legislation is *good* because it will prepetuate insecure systems by keeping them alive.
Personally, I'm against anti-virus software. Of course, I never attach to the net either. This message was tied to a brick.
You could, of course, use two bricks. Oh, you do use two bricks!
and yes, they did it on purpose. You have to realize that the paranoia runs deep. It is very much a part of their behavior. They are essentially a reacitve entity.
It is a successful model because it works. Simple minded but true. Have you ever been attacked by a competitor who will take a huge pile of insignificant crap and try to use it to leverage an advantage? It takes lots of your time to explain that the tower of shit is just a tower of shit and not advanced technology to the client.
Meanwhile the compeitior has gotten the client to join an association of like minded people who sit around blowing smoke up one another's anuses. They believe it because they *want* to believe it and it comes with lunch and a 100 dollar bill under the plate once a month. Of course it doesn't make sense. It isn't supposed to.
To summarize, this is just one of the turds in the pile. Small, but they do pile up when you have lots of people piling them. And it probably didn't cost the company anything but a double latte.
Both people have some extra money to do something to impress their friends. Hawley has more money.
BTW, why did the guy who mentioned big book/small country get modded troll?
OK, OK, so the giant book is an exercise in making some kind of maximum display technology like a middle ages style plasma TV. The big story here is enlarging the images to an appropriate resolution.
is that a kind of second hand toaster hack? How about if I wrapped my old Amiga 4000 with paper towels and sprayed it with Pledge - then it WOULD be a toaster hack. The dirt would then be time base corrected and the floor clean. HA!

of the old "Daisy Daisy" recording from sometime around 1960 give or take a few. My Amiga sounded quite as good as well. In fact it still does.

HA!
that ran on the Amiga in the mid-eighties? I remember my friend telling me that most of it was modeled on the sun os back then
the guys from Digidesign deserve recognition - they are terriffic. Met them in 95 in LA at a conference. They were very helpful.

It's awfully dangerous to be honest around here. You get modded as a troll. Actually, I have three sketchbooks going right now.
