The way companies keep cutting expenses, I'm pretty sure that my laptop in 2015 will be the same crappy Compaq POS that I'm using today. So I already know what the laptop of 2015 looks like - its in front of me now.
Sorry - the OP of this thread is not really that informative. On most websites that insist on stretching their articles out over many pages there is often a "Printer Friendly" link at the top. That usually gives you the whole article on one page with a minimum of ads and dancing baloney.
Actually, standard carry on bags work fine at four per row ( two each side ) in the bins in first class. The problem is that economy has the same overhead bins and six people have to compete for the same space that works okay for four people in 1st class.
One thing I've never understood is why people think they have to sit together on airplanes ? You spent your whole life with someone - or at least the last few years - and you can't imagine not sitting beside them on a 45 minute flight ? You probably didn't say much to each other on the 60 minute drive to the airport so what gives ?
So on that note, why not board windows / middle / aisle first and NOT let families & people traveling together board together ? Like they can't be apart for the 10 minutes required for boarding ?
Its not about being seated first. Its mostly about paying 10x for that seat and expecting to find an empty overhead bin for your carry-on luggage as part of that price. If you don't board first, you don't always get space for the luggage.
Judging by the recent spy scandals at Boeing, I wonder if there is any need to worry about it landing in China. It sounds like they may have the original plans and will not need to be picking through shards of burnt metal looking for secrets.
Okay.. I'll correct you if you are wrong. The "smallest vibrations" that you think you see are actually very low frequency vibration. You will not see the audio frequencies - sorry but your eyes are not that sharp. You probably need to see some of their stuff to believe me. I have.
I hate it when I get to a story late. Been using Fedora for a couple of weeks now. The thing that almost killed me was finding out that it does not allow you to use a static IP address.
Lots of info available on this via google. The best fix I found was to revert the Network Manager to the one from F7.
Wasn't it the board of directors of Kodak who decide to not go the digital route, summing it up with the statement "If it doesn't contain silver halide, its not really photography" ?
My company recently gave me a Treo 700wx. Much to my horror, this proved to be much like Win95 on a very small screen. Except it was interfaced via a touch screen that required you to pull out "the stick" to do anything usefull. So I went to Best Buy and played with the PalmOS version of the same Treo 700. I was in love - the whole thing worked the way I would expect from the keypad or via big fat buttons on the touch screen. No stick required. But my company said "No, we are a Microsoft house". Curiously, they were also willing to let me go back to a real mobile phone / email device and I changed back to a Blackberry. I've never looked back.
So far nobody has commented on Wizard C - the product Borland bought and called Turbo C 1.0 after they bolted on the Turbo Pascal UI. That might have been okay except that they removed Wizard C's ability to compile ROMable code in the process.
For most people, you might get a working system that way, but it most likely won't be "legal". The $150 version of Office is for students only. And $50 to $150 for XP is for the upgrade version - you need to have an older fully licenced version of Windows for that to be legal.

Pet peeve - you infringe somebody's patent - not violate it.

oh ... I see you've met my brother.
So I take it you've never been on a 757 and departed by the "middle" door ? Its not any faster.

NXT has been flogging this technology for years. This is nothing new but every few years they seem to get the media to think it is.

You gotta admit that's pretty lame.

I've got it on both of mine. Maybe its a function of how much you actually use the account (other than to filter spam) ?
wow - you dup'd my report that this was a dup'd.

Well that explains why my site (and my email) are down.
seems to me that if they are an engineering or science based company and they don't know about RPI then you probably don't want to work there ?

Sounds like a job better suited to the new Airbus 380. No ... wait .. that's not made by Boeing or any other US defence contractor. Darn.
