I even heard it was law to only be able to say whether or not a person worked there and whether or not if the were rehirable. Now, aparrently, according to my boss they can't even say that. Personal references of people that you worked closely with(which I guess could be your boss) would be the best way.
Openoffice can read them, and most any cad software. Like the other poster said though, there's a lot of variables and from my experience if it's an extremely complicated file you'll probably have to try a lot of different software to get it imported the way you want. Of course, I was using a raster to bitmap converter on high resolution graphics, so that may have been why I was having some issues getting programs to import them well.:) I did get better results with autocad files than some of the other formats the program could generate.
I remember someone quoted a while back from autocad saying that they would only do that if linux had already attained around 30-40% marketshare of corporate desktops. So probably not for a very long time.
It's a testbed for drm. In the future all peoples computers will have it built in. Software vendors will have to go to someone to get their software certified so that the software will be able to run peoples computers. Of course you could run software which isn't certfied, but the user would have to specifically tell the computer to run "untrusted or possible insecure software". The computer may also very well be sending out which mode it is in. So like say, if you decide to use a web browser other than Internet Explorer your computer would be running in "untrusted mode". So any shopping web sites, or any web sites with the default IIS configuration will consider you to be a dangerous hacker and not let you on their web site.
Microsoft has made noise in the past about the Xbox being a test bed for these types of schemes.
Head gaskets can be hard to diagnose, usually you can see the coolant on the dipstick or it's blowing blue smoke out the back. Sometimes though they just leak oil out the engine like my saturn.
Yeah, but if they're all living in caves with no powerful radios, satellites, spacecraft flying at us or anything else there isn't much to pick up with seti for example. We've taken pictures and such of the few planets closest to us but beyond that the only way we could tell detect aliens would be by picking up radio signals. Or they could just land here, but thats pretty much the only way for us to tell.
Maybe the fact that we haven't found any substantial evidence of aliens means that they're less advanced then we are. And just because they have the technology to travel to Earth from some distant universe doesn't necessarilly mean they have any decent weapons or protections against types of weapons they've never seen before or developed. The Chinese developed and used gunpowder for fireworks hundreds of years before anybody made a gun with it.
I'm all for the idea of building a base on the moon, I just don't like the idea of Bush being in charge of it. I wonder if we really are, I haven't seen any info on one though. Our military is already struggling for cash with the war in Iraq and I thought there was some treaty about having weapons in space.
And whose to say another civilization would have any interest whatsover in our planet if they have the technology to come here? As unique as Earth is, more likely than not, the living conditions on another planet and lifeforms would be completely different than here.
I doubt it, people in the Mid East and religious fanatics all over the world would believe that the Aliens are god and that they're here to save them. Some countries in spats of arrogance will try to arrange peace treaties most likely and the French will surrender first. I wonder though how long it would take people in Africa and some communist countries to even get the news.
I agree but for different reasons. Most companies I would think just want to stay out of the pissing contests. While the world as a whole dosen't care what companies use, every software and hardware vendor is definately interested in what companies use.
Lucky you, last time I called comcast after they found out I was using linux all the stupid bitch would do was YELL we don't support linux over and over. All I was trying to find out is if there was an outage.
If the lan is setup properly it should be able to securly provide access to (possibly) a limited amount of functions for untrusted devices. I could see not wanting to grant more than internet and pop3 access to untrusted machines. File shares, databases, and other things I probably wouldn't feel comfortable with.
I wouldn't call it difficult but I have had issues when using Mandrake to partition drives before. If you play around too much it can get confused and you have to start over. It also sucks if your using more advanced features of the filesystems like logs on separate partitions, I don't know if other distros handle that. I really don't know why they couldn't find the option for the printer though, I think it's even checked by default and it's worked pretty well for me in the past.
Mandrakes documentation is horrible though, most free distros do a lot better. I've used it for years at home but I wouldn't even think of trying to recommend it to a business.
What they meant was that they didn't contain the software to connect to an exchange server and use all the scheduling and other features. Though if you are planning on using a large number of linux desktops, Communigate would probably be a better email server. I haven't used it, but it's supposed to support all the features of exchange and evolution natively, I wonder though if it can import data from an exchange server.
I'll take a slower scsi driver over SATA/IDE crap any day. Scsi still blows away everything else in terms of random access and the fastest driver on the market are still scsi or sata. They've had 15K and 20K drives available for years(at extremely high costs) but no ones ever bothered to make them with anything other than scsi or fibre channel interfaces. I'd go fibre channel but I haven't found an econimcal way of doing it yet. That and I'd think I'd finally need to upgrade my 650Mhz duron...
I think it's a great idea. All these performance numbers are mumbo jumbo to the avg consumer. If they payed any attention to the specs listed on the box along with the drivel comming out of the salesman's mouth they'd be in an uproar over actually getting less than 20% of the performance promised. On the other hand, insanely large drives at extremely low prices would probably entice more people to buy.
Of course the main problem is the relative complexity for a new user in using their new hard drive. It maybe somewhat easy to install, but having to make new directories and constantly redirecting programs to use the new drive is a bit much for a lot of poeple. How many people have you seen get frantic when they get lost and can't find their My Documents folder?
Reminds me of my days at RadioShack. Dad brought his parent in and asked for an adapter to go from the serial port on their external modem to their monitor. I told them it couldn't be done, but they insisted that we have all these adapters there must be one. My clueless boss who couldn't even hook up his own vcr(he offered me money to do it for him) tried ever adapter to see if there was one that would do it.
God only knows what they thought they were trying to do.
Open office already asks people what default format people want to use when it starts up, if thats all it is that people can't handle where he works then they'll probably have more problems down the line...
The whole point of fair use laws is so that you can make backup copies in case something happens to the original. You have every legal right to make a copy of a cd and microwave the original if you so wish.
If your gonna nitpick my grammer you might as well also point out my spelling mistakes. Really though, you could have better shown off your mighty IQ by having had something intelligent to add to the topic which was being discussed.
Oh yes I'm sure. Come on now. Senators have always been involved with the selection of software for government agencies. You wouldn't believe all the congressional hearings that took place when the federal government wanted to move away from WordPerfect. It was just horrible.

I wonder how long it would take to kill your fridge by doing that.

The realplayer version works fine for me on linux using firefox. Try the MediaPlayerConnectivity extension, you can get it from Firefoxes web site.

It probably had to sent in on a disk.
It's the first fuel cell to have been crash tested, lots of companies have them on the road right now.

I made a typo on the last sentence. It is sony's fault, and it is the fault of the virus writers.
