I don't mean to sound trollish, but shouldn't terrorism be the DOJ's biggest focus right now? There's been an attack on Turkey and Spain this year alone. Between this recent bill and John Ashcroft's assault on porn, the JD is getting distracted.
The only thing that's missing is VxD Fix. VxD fix is a batch file that will extract missing VxD files from the Win98 CD to your system and vmm32 directories. Grant it, it's just a batch file. But it's nice to have to automate the task without making one yourself or extracting the files manually.
This article explains VxD Fix and has a download for it. It's a must have for 9x/ME IMHO. I think it should included with the 98SE service pack.
How is regulating video game sales going to change anything? Sure video games have violence. But so does TV and the Internet. And most of all, the real world has more violence that all of those combined. Look at all the war and poverty and famine and crazy things that go on in the world. I fail to see how violence in a video game could even remotely compare. There are children that grow up in neighborhoods that are overrun with crime. There are children that have witnessed murders.
You can restrict video games sales and censor and block all you want. But you can't keep children from being curious. And all you have to do to see violence is turn on the evening news. 9/11 footage showed a violent acted that was replayed over and over again. Children were bound to have seen it.
The sun has the force of 100,000 hydrogen bombs going off per SECOND. Trust me. A few nukes here on Earth are nothing compared to the hostile conditions of space.
That has to be the most pompous, arrogant and cocky remark I've ever seen. WHo do you think it is that repairs and troubleshoots electronic equipment, circuits and devices? Electrical Engineers? No. They do the designing. A four year degree doesn't guarantee employment, either. In fact, during the recession, there were engineers who had been in the field for 25 years that were layed off. And to say,"See you in the unemployment line," means that your four year degree isn't going get you a job, either. Oh and one other thing, I'm a double major. And I'm on route to pursuing a Bachelor of Applied Science Degree. And for a masters degree, I can do whatever the hell I want. That includes a masters in engineering. And having a technical background and being an engineer is one hell of an asset to any company. Most engineers only know the theoretical aspects of their fields. Even manufacturing people have rolled their eyes at some ideas that engineers have developed in the past. Why? Because putting something on paper is one thing. Manufacturing it is another. And what's ever funnier to watch is an engineer trying to troubleshoot something he designed. He doesn't know how to troubleshoot it because all he knows is the theory and the design. He's doesn't have the hands on experience to know what symptoms mean what. That's the technician's job!
A CET is a two year degree. The "T" is Technology. It's a technology degree. It's not an engineering degree. It's not a cross between CS and EE. That would be ECE -- Electrical and Computer Engineering.
Tell me something else, why does someone who graduates with a bachelor in engineering have a Bachelor of Science where as someone who graduates with a bachelor in engineering technology have a Bachelor of Applied Science?
When you get the testicular fortitude to post with a real name, maybe I'll take you seriously. Until then, feel free to continue to reply. I won't answer.
For things like EET and CET, the "T" stands for technology. It's an Engineering [i]Technology[/i] degree, not an engineering degree. Now you could go up higher beyond a bachelor degree to a masters degree in engineering. Then you could take the test to be a certified engineer in your state. But a technology degree deals with things on a more hands on, technical level. It's applied science. Engineering, on the other hands, veers toward the more theoretical aspect. Example, Engineering Technology emphasizes how to use an equation to solve a problem. The equation's origins are irrelevent. But Engineering would actually derive that equation and seeks its origins.
I have degrees in both Electronics and computer network systems. Unfortunately, finding a job in either field seems to be rather difficult. Then again, I live in a state that was by far one of the hardest hit in the recession. I'm open for relocation but I haven't had much luck. I'm thinking about starting my own company because between the economy sucking for so long and employers playing games, I'm tired of messing with it.
When someone makes a change in identity or immigrates, the information they provide should be checked against existing information prior to it being accepted. I can't remeber the guy's name but he had several rules regarding databases. One of them was to avoid redundancy (I think).
One other thing I forget to mention. Even if a company's R&D fails at coming up with something faster, their marketting department can do the job. Remember, the majority of the market is made up of the less tech savvy people. USB 2 is marketted as being capable of 480 Mb/s. For the average joe this seems fast. But to the tech savvy person, it's just 60 MB/s.
Even at a 1,000 times faster than current capabilities, you'd never be able to catch up. By the time you reached 1,000 times faster, you'd still be behind. There's no end. Companies aren't just going to send out the very very best. They're going to get as much money as they can until the best is obsolete and then they'll release the next biggest thing. This gives their R&D time to come up with something better.

640k is still plenty enough for Longhorn. 640k x 10^4 that is.
As opposed to doing it the old fashioned way.

Slight correction. Windows 2000 was released in 1999 to manufacturers. It's official release was in 2000. Pardon the FUD.

98 SE was released in 1999; the same year Windows 2000 was released.

Have they ever considered how worms and viruses and other malware could turn electronic voting into a disaster?

I mean rehash as in put the exact same code in. In other words, they shouldn't just blindly include old code without thoroughly examining it first.
Microsoft needs to stop rehashing NT 4.0 code into Windows 2000, XP and 2003. Isn't it funny how an exploit in NT 4.0 also appears on NT 5.x systems?

A technology degree is not the same as an engineering degree. Someone with a technology degree is not an engineer.
I'm not in engineering.

You may now assimilate the bride. Or would the bride assimilate the groom?
I still think an EOS would be a better solution. Then again, those are already found in game consoles.
