You can configure part of the Internet Explorer User agent string. If you go to
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\Internet Settings\User agent
in the Windows Registry, there are two keys: Pre Platform and Post Platform (if they aren't there, you can create them). You can create String entries in each of these. The name of the string is added to the user agent. The value of the string should be set to IEAK.
So if you set the pre-platform to "This is pre platform" and post-platform to "This is post platform", this might be what shows up in the server log as the user agent string.
*offtopic* How does one change their user_agent to do this? I've always found it to be a real pain to find odd browser types hitting my server every once in a while. Mostly when I see "Super Happy Fun Browser" I start to feel like my internets not as fun as some peoples who have been hijacked for the ride.
If your hosting it as say a moveable type style blog or some sort of controlled blog, you can still keep the admin account to it and censor it yourself. While this may defeat the purpose some, it would let you be able to remove something like an offensive image if suddenly your blogger went goatse crazy You only need to allow them to login to blog.
Now if you were dumb enough to give them your login and password to your FTP persay, then you probably should have handed in your geek card long before reading this article.
This whole idea seems a bit pointless. It just means they will block more sites. Think of it this way, you may be helping them post a blog, but as soon as your site gets blocked, now no one can visit your site from China. Currently most smaller sites are ignored. If you have any current chinese readers or visitors you'll possibily end up ruining it for them.
I had a crappy rio 128mb mp3 player for a while that I ran into my car stereo with one of those cassette tape converters. Soon as my rio died a few months later I started plugging my laptop into my car with that plug. This made for some awesome road trips! However, since I switched to a new car, which only has a CD player/radio, I can't do this trick anymore. I've used one of those radio signal devices but it's not the same quality and bringing along extra AAA batterys for them is a real pain.
Personally I wish my new car had a cassette deck just to be able to use my laptop in my car again.
Most large companies such as Walmart have their lawyers on retainers. Which in effect is like a salary job. The lawyer gets X amount of dollars per contract period (generally a year). This works out great if your a lawyer and the company never gets sued, but also could backfire and you could end up working for a lot less than you would have if you did this on a per case basis.
The only real fear for the company is losing the lawsuit and getting bad publicity. This is why a lot of corporations hire multiple lawyers and settle out of court as much as possible. An always ready team of 5 lawyers is cheaper and more efficient than finding lawyers, hiring them, bringing them up to speed on the company and the case, and sitting in trial for weeks/months.
Anyone that's been in court before and hired a defense lawyer for a set fee for the entire case knows they saved a lot of money if the case ends up being drawn out. Yet, it also means you need to be more careful with decisions as the lawyer will still make out the same if you take a plea bargin as opposed to fighting it till the very end. In which case the sooner the case is over the more time the lawyer can spend on other cases.

except that if the freezer is located inside the room, the heat given off on the back of the freezer will counter the heat lost in your room. This is why you see AC units hanging out windows, keep the cool air inside, and keep the hot exhaust air outside.
I agree completely. The mouse is imprecise and takes too long, requires very good hand/eye coordination. When I have to work on a repetitive task I can either write a macro or have the exact sequence of key-strokes down and do the job much faster.
yeah but when you only have 1 hand free because your other hand is doing a "long, repetitive task, that requires good hand coordination" a keyboard is not the way to go.
I have to agree with parent post. I work a helpdesk managing a few hundred windows machines and about 25 or so linux run machines. The worst phone call I get (worst as in pathetic) for the linux machines is someone trying to launch 2 applications from the same shell without a '&'.
I would initially claim this to be the users, but the users do rotate around. I get maybe 15-20 calls a day though about bonzai buddy beating up the weather bug and making clippy cry.
I originally worked on a program here at school to help design a hybrid SUV for Ford or GM over a 2 year period. I quit the program after they went with a diesel/electric car. The idea I was pushing was to develop a hydrogen/electric car. Initially this seems a bit hard to use without hydrogen gas stations around, but a simple converter could be built into the car to turn water into hydrogen using solar power.
The idea was to instead of using only 1 of these 'All-mighty' batteries they put in the hybred vechicles, put in say 2 or 3. I realize this drives up the price a bit, but combine that with a hydrogen engine for the extra umph. When the cars out in the sun, the solar panels charge the batteries (as well as the standard braking concepts currently developed). Your batteries should last long enough at this rate to make the car a moderate electric-only vehicle. Yet the vehicle would also have the hydrogen engine for when extra power was needed or for when the batteries run low.
The car would effectively be able to refuel itself with sunlight and water (depending on how much use it gets).
I don't mind waiting for it to recharge if say I'm working on it and it's plugged in charging very slowly. What upsets me is when I unplug it and continue working on it, the battery dies in 30mins. A 2 year old battery shouldn't die this fast. I still have some of those really old radio shack neon yellow rechargable batterys from back in like 1990 and they still hold charges in comparison much longer.
That's $8.65 an hour, not $895.00 an hour... Biiiiggggg different.
$8.65 isn't bad if your going to spend the summer in your room coding for free anyways. This projects not really ment for the people going out and looking for a real summer job. It's more or less a paying hobby for the summer.

How does this apply to those who are not born in America and were raised drinking? There are a lot of countries with families where it's okay to drink at a young age, so minors and children grow up used to it.
