This might not be the GPs problem, but in my office, the reason for not upgrading is tied to expensive hardware that doesn't support the newer version of Windows or has known issues on everything except one configuration of Windows and PC.
We're an engineering company, so a lot of the issues have to do with compatibility with hardware that is custom or rare... so, our experience may not be typical.
Think of the ISBN as the primary key for looking up a specific book on... just about anywhere.
If you want to buy your textbooks before the first day of class (which you do), you need to be able to look it up and verify you're getting the book that you want. There's always the asshole professor that assigns reading from a book on the first day of class, and you wouldn't have the time to buy it from Amazon, get it shipped, and do your homework before it would be due. Your only other option is to mooch off your classmates, which I wholeheartedly endorse.
Just to reiterate what others have said... the campus bookstore is always a gigantic fucking ripoff. Don't deal with them unless you absolutely have to. Use the internet. Buy/borrow from people who have already taken the class. Ask around if you even need to buy the book.
I am not aware that enforcing uniform patterns for floor tile installation has a measurable impact on energy usage.
So whats the optimal floor tile installation for the learning environment?
Of all the things that could be so much better with the American education system, I think the tile and physical building parts are... minimal.
I don't work for Sprint, but it already exists. They have two unlimited plans (one is unlimited voice and everything, the other is 450 anytime voice minutes and unlimited everything else). I've had service with them for a few years now, and have been generally happy with it. I'd like to pay less for service but I don't think I'm going to do any better on another carrier with the amount of data I use.
If there is competition around your area, they seem to ignore the caps. We have Comcast, WOW, and AT&T U-Verse available in the area. I got Comcast when I moved in (sadly, WOW is not available in my building, but is available down the block). I've blown past their cap multiple times, and haven't heard a thing from them. Something tells me that doesn't happen in markets with less competition.
Take some responsibility for yourself? I'm betting that on the first day of class, your professor told everyone that assignments would be posted online and you should check regularly. Maybe the first one catches you by surprise and you learn better next time. I feel like I'm way too young to go on a personal responsibility rant, but seriously, in the real world excuses do not get you far.
Or maybe your professor really was an asshole and expected you had ESP.
I've been over the cap for the past three months and haven't heard anything from them. My area also has AT&T U-Verse and WOW. Related?
(I would switch to WOW on principle alone. They offer a comparable level of service and seem to be much less evil, but they don't serve my apartment building.)
Outlook has all the disadvantages of bloated Enterprise software, but none of the advantages. I can't even get it to consistently remind me about events in my calendar.
You know how I know you don't use Lotus Notes daily? I'd be grateful for a switch to Outlook.
It goes both ways. The professor I had for Differential Equations gave out her own "textbook" and it was the most useful and concise resource. There was a "required" traditional textbook, but I don't think I used it for anything other than recommended homework problems (didn't actually buy it.. just borrowed it from other people to copy the problems out of).
I have absolutely no problem with the DLNA server on the ReadyNAS NV+. I can see the DLNA share from my computer, and it works as expected from my WDTV. If you're seeing a flat list of files, it is probably a setting on your client. The structure that I see is the actual folder structure of the directory the DLNA server scans.
Don't even need a check for that in some places. My apartment complex can automatically withdraw rent from your bank account or charge it to a credit card.
At least with the version my company uses, ActiveX is not required for the web interface. Or it has a ActiveX interface, a heavy interface, and a mobile interface and just doesn't tell me about the ActiveX one when I log in on my Linux laptop with Chrome. It would be nice if it would stop asking me which interface I'd like to use.
That said, Notes should DIAF.

You did a 3 letter search across a search engine that indexes... pretty much the entire internet... and you're mad that it didn't know exactly what you mean?
At least for me, the first page for a search for nfs on google is mostly about NFS (Network File System), with the top and 1 other link being Need For Speed, and one for Nuclear Fuel Service.
Really? Going to be mad that your ambiguous query didn't return what you wanted as the top result?
I don't use Windows anywhere but at work, so I'm pretty clueless about the situation. My work laptop has Windows 7 on it and I've had to download (myself).Net Framework 1.1 and 4.0 for different things I run (Parker ACRView and Microsoft Expression Encoder). I don't know if those are included by default, and our IT guys just leave it out for some reason.
I like that model for me, but here's why the ISPs will never adopt it: they would get less revenue from the vast majority of their subscribers.
They already know these people will shell out $50/month for their connection, which they do not use to its full potential. For example, my parents get cable internet and use it for basic stuff, checking email, stocks, basic research on things, maybe the occasional YouTube video that someone forwards to them. They couldn't use more than 10gb a month. Under your plan, they'd spend something like $10/mo. The cable company is never going to go for that when they know they can extract another $40/mo from them.
Now lets say you raise those rates so the basic users pay just about what they pay now. That's going to raise the monthly bills for those of us who use our connections substantially, and possibly price us out of their service. I'm still starting out my professional career, I can afford the monthly bill for my internet service (though I'm still at a promo rate) and I could afford to go somewhat higher than what the real rate is going to be after the promo expires, but there is a point where the price exceeds what I can justify for the value I get from the service. I could use it more like my parents, but that reduces the value to me. So essentially, with your plan, they lost $40/mo and could lose the $50/mo from me, a net loss for the provider.
BTW, you do know that social security is self-funded, right?
While thats true, they bought government bonds with the money we gave them, we used that money to fund all the things the government does, and now we're on the line to pay back the fund. That money has to come from somewhere.
We could do a lot better, but we could do a lot worse (see Ron Johnson). Luckily, I think we are in a progressive uptick in Wisconsin. Kohl probably won't run for another term, anyway. I'm kind of expecting one of the WI 14 to run for the seat (Erpenbach or Miller)
I go to school in Michigan, and we have this too. All 200 level and below classes are required to have old tests in the library (both in bulky binders and the library website). Higher level classes might have stuff there too. Anything not there, the fraternities have.
I actually really like this idea, and I'm surprised I haven't heard it before.
But it doesn't solve the problem of what police officers should ticket people for. Exceeding the max speed limit is a real easy thing to prove (radar guns are cheap, and accurate enough). Proving you are driving recklessly is much more subjective and harder to prove with a simple test that can be administered fairly across all drivers.
If they refuse to work, they probably weren't that great of employees to begin with and are probably affecting the morale of your other employees negatively.
I'm not saying that employee retraining shouldn't be considered as part of the transition costs at all. That'd just be insane.

China has a lot of those too, they're called bonds. American citizens buy those too. So do American companies.
