One place I worked, we had a line printer that was fast enough that when we tried to feed "cheap" paper thru it, the motor would sometimes tear the paper at the perforation. It was the wide stuff ( 14 x 11, I think ), not the 8.5 x 11 stuff.
If I am not mistaken ( and I often am ) there is already a law or set of law requiring automakers to ensure the supply of spare/maintainance parts for autos up to 10 years from their date of introduction.
Yes, and Viagra is for erectile dysfunction

But to whom is it usually prescribed? Why is it such a profitable drug? And did they know it can cause blindness?
How dare I malign the great American Doctor, and the great American Corporation in the same post!
Schools shouldn't buy Windows becuase its what their students will encounter in the workplace. Seems like a pretty good reason to me, especially since not all students are in kindergarten -- some of them are on the verge of graduating into the job market. But I guess I must be wrong.
That is what vocational training schools are for. Teaching exactly and only the specific skills to get an exact and specific job. Want them to learn? Introduce them to a variety of equipment and operating systems. Then they wont be lost later in life.
I kinda wonder if it wasnt brilliant marketing. Note, I am not a Microsoft fan. But we are all sitting here talking about it. And it gives an additional "draw" to the new OS. A meaningless one, true, but a draw for the PHB's out there.
How did they get to the point where 10 to 13k people were "suddenly" unneeded?
My arguement is that that did not just happen, management had it's eye off the bubble for a considerable period of time.
So, if management had been paying attention, perhaps they could have delayed some hiring or layied off few over a period of time, sometime a bit kinder to those being layed off.
Which brings up another point. The company wants to make money. To make money, you need productive workers. Workers that feel that management will treat them as people, with some modicum of kindness and respect will be busy working rather than looking for other work or worrying about being laid off, etc, etc.
You want an aggregate opinion, so it would be more like 6! focus groups of younglings to watch each permutation. Plus there have been suggestions made at your post's peer level that at least I and II should be thrown out entirely, which would add to the difficulty.
True, but lack of correlation does not indicate lack of causation. Or, the issue should be investigated completely and with as little bias as possible.
To take the link example:
Teenage boys eat chocolate Teenage boys have acne Therefore, chocolate causes acne is indeed an unproven claim with only the above date. Chocolate may or may not cause acne.
To say that "correlation does not indicate causation" does not mean that correlation means categorically no causation.
Possibly... Or not. One corrupt programmer, if the QA process for the machines is not surpassingly good ( nay, great ). Also, I have heard an unverified rumour ( I think there was some bigwig CS guy who participated in manning a precinct somewhere who may have said this, not sure ) that some machine were running versions of the software that were not certified for elections. Also, there is one company, as I understand it ( at least for diebold ) that does a blackbox pass/fail of the system.
I dont think it would take "a bunch". It is conceivable ( and I am a programmer ) that one programmer might be able to make it happen. A programmer and a test engineer would make it more likely. The executives might or might not had a role to play. And I dont see why you drag in the elected officials. Since there is no audit trail, anything that does not ring too loud a bell against exit polls would do it.
If you and I were flipping a coin for of , would you allow me to flip the coin, and have one other person you had never met, and had no way of knowing that I did not have a relationship with verify the flip? I wouldnt.
If you used the indicator of "...positive examples... of homosexual or bisexual people..." as your classification device, then most writers would fall into the "homophobe" category.
I dont know that that would be a basis for knowing. My recollection of the Ender books is that there was little to no discussion of sexuality, excepting the section in one of the books that talked about the relationship between a male and female members of a Christian order.

You missed an opportunity.
You should have changed your sig to
"do not look in laser printer with remaining eye".
"overnight interest in positions"...
interest as in 'interest rate' or 'interesting'?
And how do you participate in the opening?
Thank you for your answers thus far.
What, if I may be so bold as to ask, if a "final print" and what does that do for you? Why was it important?

Half? Shouldnt it be 130%?

That does not make sense, the RHAT and NOVL lawsuits have been in place for a long time now.
At the risk of exposing myself to ridicule, I had never seen it before. Plus there is always the option to just leave it alone.
Funny, puppies are also good at chewing up and destroying what they found. I wonder if that was a good metaphor for Microsoft.... :-)
What is with the mods that mod down attempts at humour?

Money gets very pushy, I have noted.
nothing to see here, please move along.

Yeah, well to join the BFJ, you'd *really* have to hate the BES!

He might have put all the household computers in a domain. A bit of work, yes, but I would think it possible.
