You're out with a digital camera and without your laptop. And you've filled the camera memory, or exhausted all the removable storage (flash) you're carrying. Connect the camera (or the media adapter) to the disk drive and hit the "copy" button and you're ready to take more pictures.
Then there's how the notebook handles the little things like WiFi networking: although the HP/SuSE notebook now automatically connects to my access point, it only remembers one group of settings. I have two access points at home, not to mention others to which I regularly connect. With the nx5000, you need to change the access point and WEP settings separately for each location. Tell that to Windows and Mac users and they'll laugh.
The Custer book should have been printed with a bright yellow cover and the title "NTFS for Dummies". Mostly, it is a tease of an almost-look at what might have been a really good book.
The problem gnumeric and the Open Office suite have is that they simply don't play with 100% compatibility with the Microsoft products. I gave up having to re-format spreadsheets so that they look right when business associates open them on their Windows machines. In the end, and as much as I hate giving money to Microsoft, I went with OS X and the Microsoft products.
It isn't like the US-side fault was just being ignored:
"According to BT, the US-side fault should be fixed by the end of this week, which will bring the cable network online again."
Given the logistics of repairing a fault, and without knowing when the US-side fault occurred, it is difficult at best to imply that the cable operators were somehow negligent in their actions.
...from the API wire:
"Anomyous studio executives confirmed today that an agreement had been reached with Lockheed-Martin on a new, space-based, wireless messaging jammer. Sure, it'll cost us $100M to deploy, but it it lets us finally start making money on turds like Glitter and Gigli, well, it'll be a very profitable investment".
Damnit, Texodore, I tried, I really did, but all those years of staring at the empty faces in my classrooms...I mean, it was debilitating! How could I be expected to actually build product?
Actually a division of the US DOD? Bullshit. From the USPS web site:
United States Postal Service
The Post Office Department was transformed into the United States Postal Service, an independent establishment of the executive branch of the Government of the United States. The mission of the Postal Service remained the same, as stated in Title 39 of the U.S. Code: "The Postal Service shall have as its basic function the obligation to provide postal services to bind the Nation together through the personal, educational, literary, and business correspondence of the people. It shall provide prompt, reliable, and efficient services to patrons in all areas and shall render postal services to all communities."
The new Postal Service officially began operations on July 1, 1971. At that time, the Postmaster General left the Cabinet, and the Postal Service received:
* Operational authority vested in a Board of Governors and Postal Service executive management, rather than in Congress.
* Authority to issue public bonds to finance postal buildings and mechanization.
* Direct collective bargaining between representatives of management and the unions.
* A new rate-setting procedure, built around an independent Postal Rate Commission.
Title 39, the Postal Reorganization Act, also vested direction of the powers of the Postal Service in an 11-member Board of Governors. Nine members (the Governors) are appointed by the President, by and with the advice and consent of the Senate. They serve staggered nine-year terms, and no more than five Governors may belong to the same political party. Governors are chosen to represent the public interest generally, may not represent specific interests using the Postal Service, and may be removed only for cause.

I'm sorry...that egg-shaped thing was a poorly digested burrito that I ejected out of my ass.
If Iran is really as open and accepting of counter views as you seem to suggest, why isn't this site simply hosted in Iran?

How about on the head of an ill-tempered sea bass?
Don't quit your day job; you suck as a comic.

Give me a freaking break? Holding down the shift key? These guys are on crack.
Actually, I think in most instances here, analogies are a waste of time and only serve to obfuscate the point.
Very nice piece of work, Chris, very nice.
Your sister-in-law may be bright at some things, but she is still a stupid person.
Yeah, I remember reading that same article way back when. Memory for $300/megabyte! Those were the days.
Isn't saying "heroin on white horse" a little redundant?
