LOL you missed by about 15 years, but thanks anyways:) Don't depend on someone else to do your thinking for you, try doing some research, it might enlighten you, but probably not.
they sat on a bug for a year and you are applauding them ?!?! sigh. While the government exploited this 'hole' to scan Saddam's mail, they left the rest of use hanging in the wind. While we pursue the 'nasty' Saddam and his 'arsenal' of weapons, the Madman in Korea shoots missle's over Japan, threatens to nuke someone, and HAS FOR A KNOWN FACT, TONS of biological weapons, BUT SADDAM and his 'suspected' weapons of MASS DESTRUCTION, are a threat top the very world, not to mention a bump in the road to an oil pipline to a very lucrative Indian and Pakistani market. GW's rhetoric is really beginning to show it inbred stripes. I love living in the Land of Hypocrisy. At least I am free to complain about it, or turn my back during the national anthem, for the time being.
Disclaimer, I would like to say thanks to the very brave and heroic people who volunteer to serve in this country's armed forces, and I would also like to apologize to them for the poor way in which we are allowing our government to use them.
the HomeLand Defense Force Faciscts HAD ANYTHING to do with this...What a bunch of crap. Is there ANYTHING a politician WON'T claim credit for ? Can we hope that lightening will strike the other Bush and the rest of his inbred southern cabinet ? Please GOD PLEASE....
without a Sparc machine is like DIP without chips, useless, pointless and in the end just a big mess. I can't really consider X86 Solaris anything but an oddity.
but the first thing we did was neuter the bundled AOL IM:) Unless they plan on making money by providing encrypted or VPN like services I don't see where they are gonna make any $$$ on IM's.
locked into a system with little or no room for growth, an underperforming BIOS, with low end components as cheap as they can be had. I don't dispute they are decent, middle of the road, but they advertise them-selves as the high performance. Even their business class servers are just "ok" on the performance side. My use of the term 'crap' is not warranted, you are correct.
but no one has listened to that either. They make middle of the road, over-priced, under-performing crap in the home market, and barely decent business class hardware. Why should a vendor drive the market vs. the consumer ? Let Dell make all the stupid comments they want, we'll see who's in business in 3 years...
has DRM built in and requires a CC# installed to charge you for playing music the RIAA thinks it owns ? Will it call home when you start strumming Stairway to Heaven to report you for a license violation if you play and someone else hears it ?:)
I buy a Lexmark printer with 2 ink cartridges off a lease return with a 1 year warranty for $100. When the ink is gone, or dries up in my case, I don't print much, I then take the thing to the lexmark warehouse and throw it away in their dumpster. If they want to screw people then they can pay the disposal fee's as well. The absolute worst part about a Lexmark is their silly driver set-up that requires local install on every machine. The bottom line is similar to the Xbox. Lexmark barely breaks even on the printer and expects to make their money on re-selling consumables to you for inflated prices. If you buy an xbox and never buy any games, M$ loses money on you, if you buy a lemark home printer on sale and never purchase ANY consumeables from lexmark they will lose money as well. With a winning business plan like this is is really easy to see Lexmark's IBM origins...Can you say PS2 and micro-channel arch ? IBM can't anymore either:) I feel this is like bulk snail mail. The company offers to pay postage back to them, but is only liable for the cost to the US Post Office, if the prepaid postage is used...So do you part for the cause and make sure you return ALL of the pre-paid postage evenlopes back to the companies...empty of course, that way the mail guys make more money and the Direct Marketers lose more...
generator anyone ? using a very small power source you should be able to become "hurricane RF" with an eye about 3 feet wide, just enough to put these small tags out of touch. Any physical electronics guru's out there with some real info on this kind of thing ??
but often scripts are seen as quick and dirty solutions to problems that should have been solved by the inital program. Not to mention documentation, scripting is SO free form that it often intimidates management...
gets a downward compatible 64 but chip on the desktop wins...but for some reason AMD thinks it has a presence in the server market in needs to hold onto ?!?!?! Does anyone out there use AMD chips in high end servers ? I thought Intel/HP/SUN owned that niche.
As if your company PAYED for the bloody lines in the first place !!!!!! NO I THINK NOT. They got HUGE government subsidies, and enormous amounts of tax dollars in the way of "recovery" surcharges, not to mention the government arranged, read forced the right of ways needed using emminent domain, and THEN PAYED for the Fair Market Value of the access property. All the Bells have EVER HAD to do was maintain the lines and grow FAT on the profit, and they can't even do that. "I mean hell if they were allowed to sell DSL AT COST you people would still throw a shit fit because DSL lines ARE EXPENSIVE!"
NOT, they are just bloody existing copper lines. If a responsible entity had DONE ANY sort of decent upkeep over the last 40 years, there would be no issue, but instead they sucked up the profit, blew it on useless expansions in areas that were NOT their field, now they want us to pay for their mistakes...I say we nationalize the infrastructure, it is after all a BUSINESS REQUIRMENT these days, and then appoint someone to operate it and let the bells become tenants just like everyone else. Note, I don't mean this as a personal attack, it just sounds like you are leaping to the defense of your employer....Archfeld
I agree, maybe the state should just step in annex the lines and revoke the right of ways they've make possible. The phone companies have been extorting states for years, claiming ownership of the lines that were built with HUGE government subsidies and tax monies. Time to offer the contract to run them to someone else for a chnage and see how the so-called phone companies like that stuff...

Who decides who is a legitimate marketer ? If I want to hear from a vendor I will contact them, otherwise they should be restricted to public advertising, targeted spam, and mail should be illegal. The only good thing about it is stuffing the pre-paid return envelope back in the mail empty...
I am confused here, I stated that FTP works better thru a proxy, because the password login issue with http is confusing...password and ID to get out, password and ID to login to the site for download. You then say "90% of proxy systems out there don't support HTTP very well. Some don't at all." which seems like an agreement then you state "If you want maximum compatibility, even in the weirdest of network situations, HTTP is the way to go." which seems to directly contradict your previous statement. I work from behind a large corporate firewall, unix of course, and using IE and http downloading becomes very tricky when you have 2 id's needed for a download, especially when they are not the same. FTP out of the browser is even wierder when logins are needed at both ends.
ftp is much easier to deal with proxy issues. While possible http makes it difficult. Http is nice for quick small files, but SecureFTP or FTP under a SSH with hashing is the best way, read fastest, most reliable way, that I know of.
I wonder which LAWYER, or ATTORNEY coined that phrase ? I'll bet there is actually code somewhere limiting how much they are supposed to make. This is kind of like the US mint and the US post office making a profit on coins and stamps...Not supposed to happen.
NCR still kicks some serious but in the DB department. TeraData is a DB workhorse that puts anything else out there to shame. The NCAG DB is a 30+ node unix/win2k based machine that flies. VERY expensive equipment and proprietary EVERYTHING but effective.
reading back, I worded that poorly, you are correct, we don't pay for the trucks, but for the additional damage, and support they require, in order to maintain the delivery system as a whole. Another person already pointed out the national implications of the highway system so I won't go into that aspect. I think the US has missed the boat regarding rail line shipping, and we are paying the price for trying to go with the more flexible but MUCH more expensive system of roadways for shipping vital goods.
they are talking about GB here not the US. Secondly, the taxes you pay for road maintenace are NOT for your usage and damage but for the continued INFRASTRUCTURE maintenance, ie the trucks that bring food to safeway for you to buy, the trucks that deliver mail to the post office for you, the gas trucks from Chevron that ensure everyone else gets where they are going. The vehicle registration, licensing, and use fee's you pay cover your access. Thirdly there IS NO RIGHT TO USE, it is a privilege, earned and subject to regulation and revocation. Fourthly the GGB is privately owned and run for a profit, unlike the rest of the state bridges, another bright idea brought to you by greedy self serving politicos. All that said I STILL AGREE with you, and I am glad that somthing like this would get killed in the US. PS Burien is a cool place, some LAN party friends live there, and we meet a couple of times a year for Frag Fests.
I was making a sweeping overly general statement:) PennyPacker is quite right, the huge expanse of Canada receives a significant portion more sunlight, but due to its' relative location, the energy is glancing and not absorbed. The closer you are to the equator the more direct the sunlight is, hence the more energy 'derived' from it.
