You could always do what AT&T told me to do when they could only hit me with 384Kbps reliably, go around and get my neighbors to sign a petition saying that with extra bandwidth they'd switch to AT&T that I would then deliver to the AT&T business office in hopes that we'd get scheduled for a closer netpop within the next couple of years.:]
Amusingly enough I live in the Bridgeport neighborhood of Chicago and the best that AT&T can deliver to me is flaky 384Kpbs and my Comcast connection has been rock solid and fast.:] An AT&T tech once suggested that I go around to all of my neighbors and get them to sign a petition that I could turn into the AT&T business office in order for AT&T to consider upgrading their equipment in my neighborhood. Another AT&T tech once tried to bill me for a customer premises equipment issue because I was losing signal every night. He blamed it on the fact that I had an AMD processor and wanted me to sign for the $150 visit.
Yeah, so "radically damaged" that in a matter of minutes the market had recovered and many trades that would have the potential of affecting longer term outcomes are being reviewed by the exchanges to see if they qualify as "Clearly Erroneous" so they can be busted.
GP is right. If your long term financial outlook can be unhinged by intra-day market moves you've got something seriously wrong with your long term financial plan.
A general rule of thumb is that latency and throughput are opposing interests. For the majority of users and uses occasional latency is a good tradeoff for higher overall throughput and performance. For realtime applications low latency is a good tradeoff for lower overall performance. Linux can be tuned in many ways for many different use cases and may not suit your needs right out of the box.
Glenn Beck (and the whole of the Fox News Network actually) has made a career out of presenting "questions" that are highly inflammatory and have no right answers. In addition he vehemently denies attacking anyone, he's just asking questions and he's perfectly willing to have the person defend themselves... all they have to do is answer the question.
For example, when talking to a Muslim Democrat he asks questions along the lines of "Now I think you're a good guy, but there are many Americans, hard working Americans, who look at you and think this guy is a terrorist. And I've got to say this is something that is on a lot of minds and worries a lot of people. People see you and wonder if you've got a secret terrorist agenda. What would you say to these people?"
See... he's just voicing the concerns of the nation and all the Muslim has to do is prove that he's not a terrorist... And anyone with a shred of common sense understands that A) Glenn Beck is "expressing the concerns and fear" to create concern and fear and B) There is no way to prove a negative. Especially to the satisfaction of those who are convinced otherwise.
The particular meme of Glenn Beck raping and murdering a young girl in 1990 came from a Gilbert Gottfried roast of Bob Saget.
As others have mentioned it is available in RHEL as a preview which I believe means that it's available but they don't provide official support for it.
Python 2.x as well as 3.x will live alongside 2.4 quite happily. Just build your own RPM and you're golden.
Here... have a specfile for 2.6.2 and modify to your own heart's content... (IIRC you have to unpack the tarball, rename the directory to Python-2.6.2, and repack to make this work, but nothing else.)
Huh? If anything from what I have seen from MOST parents it would be quite the opposite.
Oh no! Little Johnny got A BUMP we must stop this from EVER happening again! Quick get a HELMET!
The child is exploring their world and you're both jumping to some insane conclusion that the kid HAS to be protected and slamming all parents in the process.
Let kids be and they'll make many discoveries on their own.
(c). In order to assure a minimum of false positives, the State of Illinois would have to implement a comprehensive insurance-to-registration tag database that would be automatically updated by the insurance companies within seconds of issuing or changing a policy.
The Chicago Dept. of Revenue couldn't care less about false positives. They'll just ticket anyone and everyone the same way that they do now. No parking on one side of the street on Wednesday? We'll just ticket both sides. No parking within 15' of a fire hydrant? Sounds like 50' to me! Feel free to take your own personal time to contest the tickets and, if you're lucky, we'll rescind the fine. If not, tough luck!
Just about any computer related issue that you search for through google will have the results littered with experts-exhcange results (I believe each post on experts-exchange shows up as a different page on google). Of course all of the results are pay-to-view meaning that it becomes difficult to find actual legit results, which are now buried on page n+1.
1. The reason that Metallica got called out for this was that you can't be the "Friends don't let friends listen to corporate rock!" types and at the same time go around suing people because you're don't have enough gold-plated sports cars. Up until that point they were running the "we're artists in this for the art and our fans" line and that had been their line from the beginning. In other words they got called out for their blatant hypocrisy.
2. You can change your sound as much as you want without chasing after the sound you think will make the most money. Metallica would have made a bubblegum pop song with the Backstreet Boys if they thought it would bring them in a pile of cash.:]
It's the damn plugins that are getting you. In firefox you can do an about:plugins and see which ones are listed. Find all of the QT plugins (everywhere on your system, as for some reason even the ones in the IE folder screw you up) and replace them with 0 byte read only (If they're read/write QT will replace them when it discovers) files. No more QT owning you browser media files. I assume the process is pretty much the same for other browsers.
How exactly is a fine that is likely to total less than $2million after all is said and done a deterrant to a company that is worth 43 Billion dollars? To put it into context this would be like a normal person being fined somewhere between $2 and $6. It's not even a cost of doing business, it's loose change, and a tax deduction at that.
Funny how for most people fines for illegal activities come in the form of a large percentage of the person's net value, but when you start talking about corporations less than 1/10 of 1% of book value is seen as a heafty fine.
As much as I love a good conspiracy products like the RAZR are flimsy because that's what the market demands. People want something that looks cool and is light and... uhm... looks cool. Surprise! You don't get heavy-duty parts with that.
On the other hand the original IBM PS2 tower (which the article doesn't mention by name, but was of that same era) was marked "Two person lift" complete with nifty stickers of people injuring their backs on it. It wasn't supposed to be light and pretty, it was meant to win a fight with a Mack truck.
Two person lift towers are out, Mac minis are in. The market wants pretty...
in addition (and this goes for products as a whole, not just consumer electronics) the market wants the cheapest thing out there. Cheaper! Cheaper! Cheaper! Why buy a $2000 computer when you can have one for $500? Guess what... this means cheaper, flimsy parts.
Offer the author a 5lb $800 cellphone that can be dropped from the top of the Empire State Building and he'll pass, just like the rest of the market.
You're probably talking about the S3 or S2 as no SLR will do movies as the mirror would have to bounce up and down 24 times a second.
Regardless of which one your friend has it seems to be that the Mac is not correctly identifying it as both the S2 and S3 are USB 2.0 capable. (As are the actual SLR cameras that Canon has).
The other reason is that it would be highly uncomfortable and potentially very dangerous to have someone asking for money from someone getting money out of an ATM.
My "Too much gaming" came from Need for Speed Porsche Unleashed. The first day I got it I played it all day and spent much of my time trying desperately not to hit anything and everything.
That night I had to go out to get some groceries and was terrified to back out of my own driveway. (Luckily I was a bit more successful with "Need for SpeedLimit: Honda Unleashed":] )
I've often wondered why someone doesn't re-edit the dvd cut to include the origional scene and release it on some P2P network. Sure, yes there would be C&D letters and threats and all of that, but if the "success" that the RIAA/MPAA has had up to this point is any indication it probably would be hard to stop.
Mod parent up! You're 100% spot on. Cisco has a long history of buying out companies that they think either have interesting technology or would compliment their existing line well. I remember vividly when Cisco swooped through and bought out Cerent Corp for some huge amount of money (Quick googling shows it was $7.3 billion) as I lived in Sonoma Co. at the time.
Cisco wasn't scared they were smart. Instead of trying to stifle innovation with legislation or illegal market practices they just showed up with buckets of cash when they found something interesting.
You are forgetting MS is now officially a monopoly. Their legal problems have changed the way they do business. They can't be as nasty as they used to be.
And you're forgetting that the DOJ at least under the current administration is rather reluctant to take action against Microsoft. Even if this technology was integrated and then 3-5 years later after all the lawsuits cleared it was deemed illegal and Microsoft was slapped once again Google would be essentially dead in the water much like Netscape.
