I have a 2.5 (mine) and a 1.5 year old (foster child) and to me if you would need this I think they would probably have an indication of it before the kid is born. Things are so far along these days with the 4d ultrasounds and such...
Enjoy fatherhood. every 6 months they get more fun with the first 6 month being more of a family pet than a real person. Now at 2.5 years we are running around the backyard having squirt gun fights and she is coming up with all kinds of crazy views on the world. It goes quickly...
But yea, if you and the wife are healthy and she took care of herself the past number of months, the chances of ever needing it are very low.
Indeed. for businesses 2000 was an incredible step up from NT...
Granted I didn't have to work with NT for long, but the annoyances that 200 and XP resolved were more than welcome.
I am also now looking for the same sort of thing in the near future moving from XP to 7. Enterprise management features like BITS looking at the WAN connection instead of local adapter for bandwidth... big big stuff. (BITS change came in Vista)
Why post this AC? Party labels have screwed us over quite a few times. Not all republicans want the same things, and not all democrats want the same thing.
When the new Milwaukee County Exec took over (a philanthropist dem that never really held a job before this) I expected the floodgates of spending to open and taxes to shoot through the roof, but he's actually done a good job of saying we can't afford to do things. If the money were there and not needed badly elsewhere then sure, but we can't spend the money to put juvenile delinquents through a Shakespeare program right now.
If we start going the British way and have factions leading things, it could get messier or nothing might get done... (or it could be glorious)
Either way, vote for the person, not the party. And voting AGAINST someone is not the same as voting FOR someone... you might end up voting for the worst person ever (that you know little about) just to vote against someone you don't like.
they never do say what kind of sites, just that they are sanitized and are real world web pages... but if you are comparing IE to itself or Chrome or FF, whatever site you use should be similar in speeds, except for ones that detect clients and do different things...
"Content servers are web servers that stand in for the millions of web hosts on the Internet. Each content server hosts real world web pages that have been captured locally. The captured pages go through a process we refer to as sanitization, where we tweak portions of the web content to ensure reproducible determinism. For example, JavaScript Date functions or Math.Random() calls will be replaced with a static value. Additionally, the dynamic URLs created by ad frameworks are locked to the URL that was first used by the framework.
After sanitization, content is served similarly to static content through an ISAPI filter that maps a hash of the URL to the content, allowing instantaneous lookup. Each web server is a 16-core machine with 16GB of RAM to minimize variability and ensure that content is in memory (no disk access required).
Content servers can also host dynamic web apps like Outlook Web Access or Office Web Apps. In these cases, the application server and any multi-tier dependencies are hosted on dedicated servers in the lab, just like real world environments."
the building windows 8 blogs are actually pretty good, as long as you know that it's going to be pumping up how cool windows 8 will be, and question what is in the cool-aid you are drinking, it's worth a read now and then. They give background information on decisions they are making and why some things are the way they are as well as where they plan to take them.
They wanted to account for any kind of lag, so by having it all in house and disconnected from even their internal network, they have control over all variables so everything is equal.
"TSA screenings aren't just for airports anymore Roving security teams increasingly visit train stations, subways and other mass transit sites to deter terrorism. Critics say it's largely political theater."
I don't know that Occupy is really what it's members say it is, at least not to everyone outside of it.
The interviews and such that I have heard and seen from occupy "spokespeople" (admittedly most likely self appointed title) all members had a distinct democrat slant to them. They say they are going after everyone, but when asked questions such as what Democrat leaders offices they have been outside protesting they have nothing to say except we tried to contact them through the internet and they didn't respond.
When she was then asked about Herb Kohl, a democrat uber.5%er she gave the same answer. This guy owns an NBA team, and apparently an email was all they would give him unlike protesting outside a Republican's office.
When it is apparent to me that they are going after both sides, THEN they may represent me on some issues, but until then I don't believe they do, as I don't care about most of their positions I've heard. I don't believe a college education should be free, I don't believe minimum wage should be $15 an hour, I don't believe the top 1% of earners should be paying 99% of all taxes. I keep hearing about all these rich people that pay no taxes, but we don't tax wealth, we tax income which is very different. Guys like Steve Jobs only made something like $1 that was taxable, yet he had massive wealth. Jacking up taxes would not account for that.
When the movement can clear itself up and actually explain itself, then it may be more acceptable. (plus when it takes responsibility to clean up after itself like adults. I know some do, but I have the feeling most do not.)
So true... a past co-worker of mine went to one of those online colleges and ended up hiring someone online to do the coding part of the curriculum after offering everyone here with any coding ability money. When we turned him down he went elsewhere, got the work done for him and moved on with his certificate that he can program in Java and a bachelor's degree.
This happened in Milwaukee Wisconsin for downtown sporting events... people in full gear sold parking spots on the road and in city owned lots, then when it was full they took off with their money and the police followed ticketing every car for illegal parking in city lots...
turns out they were just guys with cones and lights...
VMware's converter is what I ALWAYS use for this type of thing if I want easy access. I may clone 10-15 PCs a month to troubleshoot issues without bothering users, and to have a known broken system to test with, find a fix and quickly revert to broken to further test the fix.
You run through the setup on your PC, tell it what PC to clone, where to put the disk etc... (i normally put it back on the local drive since cloning over the network takes forever with slow links) and then fire it up in VM workstation or the free variant of it.
works great, and as said well above, you can fire up the PC again without worry for hardware. I did this grabbing a snapshot of my wife's late grandma's Win 3.1 PC about a year ago. damn thing took 35 minutes to boot up on her hardware, 5 seconds on my VM.
Microsoft ones are different because they take their time.
Many small companies grab someone else's change some words here and there and toss it out sometimes saying nothing really.
In the situation I'm talking about, (free use in corporate environment) unless the EULA says it's free to use in that setting it doesn't work for us. Many don't mention licenses or being free at all, in which case there COULD be a required license somewhere...
Black and white EULAs are good, but most are grey.
That's the way our EULA lawyer guy ruled on it for us (can't use), so that's the way we went. The concern was if someone showed a video of something through it to someone who we are charging for services, it could be in violation. (not that a normal company would go after another for that, but Real is pretty slimy... I worked for them doing tech support for a year when I used to live in Seattle. Thankfully as a non commission person I didn't have to trick people into staying subscribed to it)
The one that gets me is Virtual Clone Drive... The developer says it's free, everyone says it is, but since it's not spelled out in the EULA they could say it no longer is and you then owe them licenses... They told me in the next version it will be spelled out and they may offer a pro version.
Here at work EULAs have become an INCREDIBLE pain in the past month... We not need everything we download to use approved that it is free for commercial use if the company didn't buy a license.
I can't use Virtual Clone Drive since the website says it's free, the developer says it's free, everyone says it's free but the EULA doesn't specifically say that.
I hate EULAs. (Plus an interesting note, RealPlayer apparently cannot be used in a commercial environment at all, or so says the EULA.)
Holy crap! you mean become a customer instead of a backend supporter and drive their sales, taking up product and promote the crap out of how good they are and hope much the will save in the coming years?

I'd say not worth it...

I would go with Win95 as a tick Win98 as a tock and Win98SE as the tick...
If you are going to throw XP out before NT, then the order doesn't matter much anyway.

no no... those are what COMPILE the results...
They have a wide range of high end to low end PCs running the tests down to a 1.6ghz netbook with a Atom N270 processor.

Six years and still on original OS install?
You're on /. and you didn't try Vista or Win 7 on it?
I loaded Vista on a crappy old dell c600... didn't look pretty, but it did run...
how's this?

Chicago does this at toll roads already. I know people that got their picture and their ticket in the mail.

Also NO downtime for VMware's converter. the user doesn't even notice it's going on since I believe you can set it for low priority as well.

agreed. They also have a real nice uninstall routine buried in the Program Files folder.

Then my freakin sharks with lasers will be useless!!!! We must stop this now.
Holy crap! you mean become a customer instead of a backend supporter and drive their sales, taking up product and promote the crap out of how good they are and hope much the will save in the coming years?
Shirley you jest...
They still do. They just came in for a demo and it works great, plus you can fully isolate it, and cheaply (~$10 per client)
