But seriously, I think that this will be the case. There is no compensation required by a diagnostic program. How long until there is enough computing power for your initail health screening to be performed by a computer program? Productivity-wise and cost-wise, this is most likley where we are headed. I see some form of this happening in my lifetime.
Giving back to the community is a nice thought, but at the end of the day, it doesn't pay the power bills.
Your right giving back to the community does not pay the bills. What does pay the bills is sales or service or product.
What RH is missing, IMHO, is that some of thier sales are driven in part by the community that has rallied behind them, and drives customers to them, either by installing and demo-ing the product and/or with positive word of mouth. Now the community feels the rug being pulled out from under them with draconian licensing, and no middle to low end option for thier product(s).
The question is, will this help or hurt thier sales in the long run.
I know that they have lost my positive word of mouth sales, and I will not be deploying thier product any more. I cannot afford the license or the support cost, and neither can my clients. It is a shame, because they had a great product.
I imagine, though, that it would be a terribly frightening feeling to be thrown backwards as you stop suddenly.
It would be frightening to feel like you are being thrown backwards, however in this case I do not think that is what you would feel.
Since the unit is applying a braking force when you are slowing down, the pasenger would feel this force pushing him into the seat (assuming that the seat is tilted to the rear of the unit when braking.) This serves to move the center of gravity behind where the wheel is making contact with the road and not cause the unit (and passenger) to flip over the front of the unit.
The pasenger would probably get some visual cues that he was being tilted back, but I would bet that he would only feel like he is being pressed into the seat a little harder.
Now what (relativistic) velocity they hit it at, I have no idea, not having a degree in hyperbolic topology or warp field propulsion theory:)
Sheesh, everyone (that reads this site, anyway) knows thats the navigational shields are for keeping the space dust and what not from slamming into the hull at warp... I think you need some remedial Star Trek watching...
They put up an interesting web page for people to view it, and man many people did. If they are concerend about a/.ing they should not put up articles that a prone to attracting attention.
Blaming/. for taking someones site down is like blaming a newspaper for publishing a positive critique on a new (but small) resutraunt, and the owners compaining about all the "unwanted" traffic that suddednly comes through the door.
You published something on the web, it is public and freely avaiable, get over it.
I can say that I generally do not have enough to require counting. But your point well taken. I do believe that there are machines for this task that can idendtify each bill as it is counted.
Being an american I found that, while traveing to Euroup, understaning all the different denominations to be pretty straight forward once you could do the converions back to USD.
I think it is all what you are used too.
While this isn't a complete solution, at least the high-denomination notes will look different from the low-denomination notes, which will make it much less easy to, e.g., tip someone a hundred dollars instead of one.
Well, the various denominations of american money do look different from each other, they just don't use color cues to diffentiate themselves. I can't say I have had a problem accidently over tipping someone because I could not tell what the bill was that I was handing them. When you are used to ir you can tell what notes you are pulling out of your wallet without even seeing the number that is on them
You will find that, typicaly, lower denomination bills are softer and more worn. I think this is a good function of the paper that is used. I have yet to have a worn $100, and it is not too frequently that I have a crisp $1. (not that I have a lot of $100 mind you...)
Um, why would you want to put squid on a journaled file system?
For the same reason you would want to have email, or a file server, on a journaled system, recovery speed.
I have some clients with servers (that run squid) and when they take a power hit, long enough to drain thier UPS, the last thing I want to have to do is deal with a call saying "how come the server did not come back up..." Meanwhile the fsck is still running and they are hitting the power switch trying to "reboot" the problem away before the ext2 fsck can finish checking though the cache partition...
If all else fails, they could get Windows to run on their servers, can't they?
I'm sure this is tounge-in-cheek but...
Look where it got DEC... Windows ran great on Alphas. I would not consider getting into bed with MicroSoft a safe move. It is like asking a boa constrictor for a hand getting out of quick sand, he will pull you out just to crush you.
The Executive branch may not "make" the laws, but the Govoner still has to sign the laws or veto them.
If you think that the govonor is without influence over the legislative branch and cannot exert some power over the regulators office, you should stay in the real estate buisness in Florida, politics is not for you.
What makes you so sure that the VoIP providers are not providing these protections already? It is not in thier interest to have customers be victims of fraud.
They should not have to follow the same rules as the telcos, because they are not telcos. They do not have a fixed cable plant to maintain, nor do they have a monopoly on the local market. They also are not promising 100% uptime either. They are proving you with a _portable_ internet service that lets you take your phone number with you that is not dependant on the local telco.
The VoIP providers are providing a competative service to consumers via an new service delivery route that is not dependant on a single supplier for thier infrastruture. And more power to them!
What you are seeing is (for lack of a better word) innovation at its best. These providers are being creative in bringing you a service. Why start to tax them to death before they can even get going.
How long until they start taxing your web surfing traffic? What is the difference between one data packet and another?

This reminds me of the "Doctor" on Voyager.

Mr Smith: How come is says "its a small world" on the pill?
Nurse: This pill will dround all the other voices in your head, now be a good patient and take your medicine.

How can you say that a 47.0% change in "Institutional Shares Held" Vs a 1.1% is similar.
Those SCO execs are pulling the "yellow handles" hard and fast yelling "eject! eject! eject!".
It is a "Charlie Foxtrot", for us contractors with sensative ears.
$60*12 = $720/year
Enterprise, according to you, will cost:
2*379=$758/year.
Try again... thats $60*2=$120/year. The subscription is $60/year per machine. For a low end system it was a good deal.
Same here, I have 21 subscriptions for myself and 1/2 dozen clients...
Any on have some good suggestions on alternatives keeping in mind that I have to use something with "name brand" recognition?
Sheesh, everyone (that reads this site, anyway) knows thats the navigational shields are for keeping the space dust and what not from slamming into the hull at warp... I think you need some remedial Star Trek watching...
Hey, that scum in your septic tank does a pretty important job... don't start comparing it to outlook to it, that's just mean....

Thats just on reason.
Yowza thats a lotta laptops!
isn't she Briney Spears mother or something?
Yeah, but what are the possibilities of a "tragic accident" happening to this guy?
Think the heirs to this guys fortune would not want to cash in if MS made them a deal they could not refuse?
Go ICANN? Wow, now I am really confused... who are the good guys again?

It is a half assed tax.
