Actually, as a resident of Indiana, we waste an incredible amount of energy due to DST in a number of ways.
Every year our legislatures endlessly bicker about trying to switch over to DST. Some years it almost goes for a vote. Other years it gets buried in a committee. This year is was even proposed briefly that individual counties decide if they want to observe DST. It was quickly shot down for a variety of reasons.
Further, every spring and summer we have waste more energy trying to figure out WTF time it is for our customers and suppliers because while we don't change, everyone else does. So in essence we change for our professional lives, but not for our personal.
I just saw a picture, not less then a week ago, that describes this very thing. IIRC there was a younger guy sending a message to an attractive woman across a bus or subway car. Except it ended up that the guy was talking to the dirty biker-type guy next to her.
I can't seem to remember where I saw it at though for the live of me. The article did mention that the scene was a little guy heavy though.
This helps to an extent, as I understand it. But should your PayPal balance actually go negative they are quick to EFT the money out of your bank account and/or send collection agencies after you if you don't quicky bring your PP account into the positive. From what I've read, anyway.
They are welcome to try to EFT funds from my bank account. It's kept delibretly empty for this reason. If they try to take funds out without my authorization, then my bank gets involved. They have a little more bite then I do. If the chargeback is legitimate, then I'd be more then happy to transfer the funds back in. It's just that I don't let them be in charge of my money. I'm in charge of my money.
The typical PayPal "horror story" seems to go like this. "This guy PayPal'd me N dollars! Then PayPal reversed the payment because there was evidence of credit card fraud. Now I don't have my #)*&#)%%^ N dollars! WTF, (*&%*$% PAYPAL!"...Well, that definitely sucks, but guess what? That's a risk that you take as a merchant whenever credit cards are involved. People will commit credit card fraud. You will have charges reversed. PayPal or not.
I've never personally had my funds locked out, but I am friends with several people who have. In the past it use to be that if one of the parties involved with a transaction was under suspicion of fradulent activities, the funds in BOTH accounts were frozen and/or the accounts locked. That makes zero sense. A CC processor isn't going to put a hold on all your funds, just the funds in dispute. I see no problem with putting the funds in dispute in escrow or otherwise freezing them while the investigation happens, but to lock up other funds not related to a transaction is just silly. If I were a business that did a lot of sales via PayPal, I might not be able to survive for a month while PayPal takes their sweet time to look at things.
My advice if you are going to use Paypal is to keep only a minimum amount of money in there, and whenever you get signifiacnt balance, quickly transfer the money out to a bank account. Don't keep the balance with PayPal.
Did you send a reply back stating, or better yet actually showing, legitimate uses? Game patches, legal multimedia distribution (Red vs. Blue for example), and so forth...
I am a subscriber and they don't have the current sources up. They haven't posted the source for the last two builds. The last source code posting is from Firmware_Alchemy-6.0rc5a. rc6 and pre7 both don't have sources. From several different threads, they are now only posting the source code once the next release has been set to be a release canidate. So once pre7 becomes rc7, then rc6's source code is released. Current "beta" release code isn't available unless you are a part of the official "developer" family; however the binary version is available to subs.
I went and RTFGPL, but I didn't see any provisions that could interpreted that way. So could you RTFGPL and tell me exactly which part allows them to do this?
You need to check again. Current "subscriber" versions no longer have source code available. The source only will become available once it becomes "public", available to non-subscribers. Sveasoft is distributing GPLed derived code without source. Period.
Except for the fact that if/when you get sued and fork over your $3,000, your out the money AND the songs. When you buy them legally, you are only out the money.
That's part of what the problem the studios are concerned about. They know that analog is reproducible. But every generation of an analog signal gets progressively more derogated then the generation before, even with top of the line equipment. If they transmit the signal to you, you record it and give it to me, and I dub it and give it to my friend, that tape will not be identical to the original broadcast.
With digital signal, not only is the quality measurably better, but each generation is an exact copy of the one before. It can get copied through 100 generations and it still looks just as clean and crisp as when it first was transmitted.
Area: Football Fields. Defined as 60x100 square yards, or 501.6 square meters. The European equivalent is the tennis court, which is 668.9 square meters.
You don't happen to be a NASA scientist by chance, are you? You are off on your order of magnitude on your yards to meter conversion. 6,000 sq yards is ~5016 sq meters.
And what type of tennis do you play? 668.9 sq meters? Good grief. A US doubles court is 36 feet x 78 feet (~261 sq meters). Unless you are also including in the areas around the court, I can't see where your 668.9 sq meters came from.
But how does Raynaud's effect the touch pad? I'm not a doctor so other then the link you provided I know nothing about Raynaud's, but just from the link, it seems that Raynaud's just affects blood flow. That alone woundn't cause the touchpad to magically be touched. Now if the condition caused uncontrolled tremors or something like that, then I can see how it would be a problem.
Thank you for being the first out of 15 people replying to me that actually got my (obviously not so obvious) sarcasm/humor. Aparently there are a few others out there that thought it was funny as well. Maybe next time I'll use the tags.
And to everyone that tried to tell me how SMTP, DNS, and the Internet works, thanks. But I already knew it.
The only reason I've stuck with them is because I've had an account dating back over a dozen years, and didn't want to give up that e-mail address.
See. This is why we should demand e-mail address portability. Your e-mail address should follow you, not have to stay tied to one isp. We already have it for phone numbers, so it shouldn't be too hard for e-mail right? I mean, why should you have to give up your "identity" just because your ISP has decided to charge more for less?
Ok. Here's an explanation. The rover(s) are losing power because dust is settling on the solar collectors. But in one case, there was this magical boost in power output by 5%. The first thing you would think of is that more sunlight is getting to the photo cells. Some Martian kid came by and, with his finger/tentacle/whatever, wrote "Wash Me" on one of the panels, just like kids do here on earth with dirty vehicles.
Did ya even bother to read the article and the letter scans that were associated with it? If you did, you'd know what your parent's post was talking about.
I'm a high school student and a member of our technology group.
It's easier to just say "I'm a geek." It's more to the point and doesn't make it seem like you are trying to disguise what you really are.
Our school needs extra money for our technology, and I thought that a LAN party would be an effective, and exciting, solution.
All public schools need extra money for technology. It's part of the requirement for being a public school I believe. That being said, a LAN party is going to raise about 2.98 for technology after you pay for expenses. No food, no drinks, no prizes...no people.
How can we make a great LAN party with the supplies at hand and make a profit while doing it? We have a network, but not a large enough room with enough ports. We're most likely going to create a detached network for the party, but don't know how to set it up because we have limited supplies.
You are going to have to find one or more switches with enough ports. A 24 port unmanaged switch will cost $60+ bucks. You could get by with more switches with fewer ports, but then becomes a hassle with getting everything wired. You'll also need Cat5 cable ($40/1000 feet at Lowes) and RJ-45 connectors (prices vary depending on how many you buy). Also some crimpers...and some time to crimp a bunch of ends.
I guess we could seek a sponsorship from a local company, but that is unlikely to happen. Any suggestions on network layout, power layout, and general party to-do's?
(Extended) Star topology 100baseT will be more then enough for what you are doing. For power, you will have to see how the room is wired. If the room is normally a computer room, you should be fine. If it's a class room, you could start tripping breakers depending on how many computers you have running.
You also are going to have to get permission from the school system, provide security, as well as likely get a teacher to act as a sponsor. Without this, and with no outside sponsorship, your idea won't go anywhere.
7 movies to equal the $18 monthly fee? I'd like to live where you are at. My local Blockbuster charges about $5 for a new release for 2 days. A couple movies a month puts me over $18. Even with the 3-movie plan at netflix, you can easily get 12 a month (3 per week). If you do it right and get fast shipping, you can get over 20 a month.
You've NEVER stood in a line at a video store? I take it you've never been to a video store on a Friday or Saturday early evening then. And the point of the advertisement is that you have to go to the video store, find the movie, walk up to the front of the store and possibly wait for an open cashier. Yeah there may not be someone in front of you, but sometimes there is. It all takes time. The advantage with Netflix is that you don't have to do any of that. Just have a few movies in your queue and your set. Most people pick up their mail once a day so you don't have to make a special trip to get your movies. Most people also pass by a mailbox sometime during their day as well.

Yes. A radioactive dirty bomb being buried in a busy seaport. That's the way to go. You will be remembered for sure...in the Annals of Criminal Law.
So because they do few inspections/audits, it's ok to break the law/regulation?

No, but then I would be lying.
Bad example. B&D makes many of the tools Sears sells under the Craftsman name. Other then the outside label, they are identical.
NASDAQ is (or at least was) a large SCO user. Irony at it's best.

Code may dictate that it needs to be red.
