I was going to ask something similar, for instance how could IBM possibly splice out code that isn't theirs? It could be ingrained into very important parts of the OS. And what happens if a little piece of someone else's pie gets release? How much trouble could this cause IBM?
Alt + Tab is not the only solution for Windows XP users. Check out the Virtual Desktop Manager and the other Microsoft PowerToys for Windows XP. Tweak UI is my favorite.

Intelligence is not the same things as mental maturity. Many people in this world never reach a mature thought process. This involves taking personal responsibility for your actions as well as the ability to think about the world outside of the (approximately) 12 inch x 8 inch block people call a head. Knowing the difference between right and wrong is not the same thing as thinking about how the consequences of your actions affect others. This kid has obviously not matured in his thought process.
That's a great idea! Instead of creating "mix tapes" we can literally cut and paste novels to make them flow with the smooth beat of the techno drum! Imaging the beginning of Snow Crash with the middle of Altered Carbon then ending of Neuromancer sprinkled with bits of The Golden Age
Just a thought, but I know a couple of people who actually own or rent shop space and advertise as "Ebay sales." The do any kind of auction over 30 dollars and even do the car auctions.
I think with more people doing this, it could be possible for ebay to have "Franchises" or Official sales offices.
That could really bump up their sales in populated areas. You wouldn't even need to own a computer, or get on the internet. You drop your thing off at a store and let them deal with it and they cut you a check.
I agree, this was one of the main draws that my wife and I looked for in a wedding photographer. Instead of charging outrageous costs for getting the film back and reprinting customers pictures, photographers can make money on reprints by offering "special" prints. Our photographer had "metallic" prints that had a nice chrome look to the images. They had these images that looked liked pencil sketches or paintings. That's stuff that I probably wouldn't be able to do, but still wanted or thought was neat.
The thing with Acer is that they rely heavily on their 3rd party Value Added Resellers (VARs) to handle technical support issues. If you had someone like us resell your Acer to you, we would either answer all your questions over the phone (we're IT people, not call center people) or we would ask you to bring it in so that we could take a look at it in person. If we had to send it in due to warranty issues or otherwise, we would back up your whole hard drive before sending it off. Even we know how bad the Acer "tech support" is.
Ps. They've obviously never worked in a call center where you could actually be fired for telling your location.
Have you ever tried to develop any kind of hardware to use Bluetooth wireless? It's not fun or easy. In one of my senior design classes, we tried to implement wireless sensors that would use Bluetooth to communicate with each other and a base station, and it was next to impossible. We spent most of the year trying to get the Bluetooth to transmit the data we wanted correctly rather than working on any other part of the project. Our professor still gave us an A since he felt sorry for us.
The best situation that I have had in domain environments is Windows 2003 Server with XP Professional Workstation. The XP Pro machines join the domains and can access the Exchange server with less issues than anyother setup I have worked with. Maybe I'm not doing things right, or maybe I'm a moron, but Windows 2000 machines have some issues loging in due to searching for the DNS. And in situations where there is a Windows 2000 Server, there are sometimes problems with the workstations using Exchange.
Totally agree with you. I'm doing almost the exact same thing. The company I work for has 3 Technicians. But we're flexible enough to be the "IT department" for a boatload of small businesses. There is no shortage of work right now. A couple server setups per week, a couple websites designed per week, and in our free time, we're trying to become a full blown wireless ISP. Managing technical projects is great, too. I've always called it intellectual gruntwork.
I was wondering if anyone has figured out how to write new simulations for it. This would be more interesting and useful if you could write your own simulations with your own paramaters to test how the networks you are on would compare. I tried editing the simulations that are provided but all that is affected is the speed at which the percentages change.
Yes, but you order it, plug it in, and you're done. It's all about how much time or money you're willing to put into something. Since time is money, you pay for it one way or another.
Most of our customers have structured wiring that makes it so easy for us to not do any work except plug it in and configure it through any computer on the network.
Man I don't know who you're doing your hosting through, but after some rough math, I figured that I could sell a 5MB song over 200,000 times for about one hundredth of a cent per month.
I work at an ISP that provides a family friendly filter, but we also do web hosting. One of our customers has a large peacock farm. This basically means that he can't even view his own webpage from his home without an override. But still, he loves the filter because it really prevents his family from seeing quite a bit of trash out there on the internet.
I agree that censorship is stupid, but only when it comes from the government. Otherwise, it's just a capitalist business practice.

By the way, that was a great show. And the music was cool too.
