Obviously. If you did, you might know what its like to ride. I live in Los Angeles and am a daily rider. I have found that about half of the car out there don't see you and the other half don't care. (I'm guessing you to be in the later.) I find it odd and a little scary how many people think that them getting to their destination 3 seconds faster is more important than my life. When 2 cars bump each other at 70 mph, there is some paint that needs to be fixed, when a car bumps a bike there is a funeral to attend. Crossing LA during rush hour means that I come within inches of death about 5 times/hour (let's avoid discussions on lane-splitting for the time being.) Add this to the fact that recent SUV trends has caused the number of motorcycle fatalities to double in the last decade and it becomes a scary world. Because I chose a vehicle that gets 50 mpg, doesn't contribute to pollution, helps reduce the traffic problem, and allows 4 people to park in one spot, do I deserve to get killed? The fact of the matter is that people do not pay attention to what is going on around them and the pipes do help. If you have to stop talking on your cell phone and pay attention to the road for 3 seconds while a biker passes you, I don't see how you can complain about this inconvenience.
It seems that folks here have missed Woody's spirit.
You are 100% right in saying that he would be fine with it being used for this.
He was singing songs about how messed up life was (depression and all) and he was happy singing them. The Radio folks (new idea at the time) asked him to come in and sing for them b/c he seemed to make people happy when he sang and we needed happier people. They didn't realize at the time that he made people happy because they could relate.
He quickly was told to stop writing such sad songs and, rather upset at this, turned to more sublte methods. Turns out people knew what he meant when he said: "California is a garden of Eden, a paradise to live in or see; But believe it or not, you won't find it so hot If you ain't got the do re mi."
Through use of his thinly vailed messages, they let him play and sing and deliver his rebellious messages.
Here we have someone using his music to deliver a thinly vailed message about how this election is not going well in either case, I think he would laugh and offer to play it live if he was around.
Well, the Apple Co motto is "think different." If we are going to use proper English as a measure for intelligence, should they be disqualified for using an adjective rather than an adverb to modify a verb?
That is no longer the case. The way that most colleges work now is that there are job available for which the employee _must_ be a student. These are manning helpdesk and crimping cables. The pay is nominal and sometimes there is no direct pay, it is a condition of financial aid. Then there are jobs which student status is optional. These are administering the network equipment (switches/routers ect) and basic PC repair tasks. These are bobs at the university which a student can take, providing he is qualified. Finally there are job for which student status is prohibited. Database admins, application development, and other tasks which would give a student too much access to grades, teacher accounts, and the like. It would be a conflict of interest to give a student access to the database which processes how much financial aid he gets for instance. Not that I necessarily agree with this policy as that an unethical geek is an unethical geek no matter where he is, but that is the way it generally is.
The budget is a very valid claim. The most expensive part of running a successful network is not good hardware, it's competent professionals. Hell, even a slacker who just came outta high school and has no experience cost more in 1 year than a server which you will use for 3-5 years.
Budget is the primary reason on all networks for failed security practices.
the price of an OEM computer from Dell, Gateway, HP, etc.
funny you didn't even mention IBM. shows how their market share really held out when they opened standards. From the "IBM compatable" to now just found under "ect."
Being IT I would have to administer it. My point was meant to be more generic but the Windows Terminal Server is a gerneric answer. The problem is that moving from a windows desktop to a linux desktop which is acting as a client to a terminal server is a huge step backward. Using a terminal server is so much slower than a windows client.
My point is that once Wine has evolved to the point that they support everything, we woln't have to be locked into an os. It will be a happy day.
I would like to suggest a Linux desktop to my company in order to cut costs. Here's the problem, we use ton's of apps that require windows. I can't even talk about moving just the IT department to Linux until we can run remedy, MSN messenger, office, active directory (and the rest of the windows admin toolkit), windows remote desktop client, MS sql enterprise manager, ect., ect. This list could go on for days.
How do I accomplish this? Well, part of the answer is program replacements. I can substitute OpenOffice for MS office and get 98% compatibility. Gaim could go for MSN messenger if they can ever support file transfers with MSN clients (it's close guys.) But I found myself a long way out. Wine got lotus notes up and running, that was one more step. We are still a few steps out. If we could ever truly have seamless operation, I would be the first to sign on-board. We just aren't there yet.
It turns out that your perception of something has nothing to do with wether or not it is there. If you take a little LSD and see a battleship sailing down broadway, it does not mean that the ship is there.
My point was that it is not "a 3D screen." The fact remains one day we will compleate the existance of decent 3D displays and then everyone will realize that we have called 2D "3D" for many years and think about how silly that was. If you look today at this type of screen and then remember that we called the Diamond Monster add-on card 3D graphics, you will start to get a feeling of what I mean.
I was not referring to either "flashy thing" I was referring to a 3 dimensional object, an action figure. something which lives in a 3 dimensional world.
there is no "actual depth" (beyond a half millimeter or so) of a sticker. The image printed on the sticker surely has no depth.
What I am saying, rather poorly it seems, is that any object which is printed, is not 3D. There is _no_ way to project a 3D object onto a 2D surface. It is possible to create a perception of 3D if the eyes were completely separated in what they view. This gets rather close in polarized 3D Imax but even in this case we have _not_ created a 3D screen.
As I was saying, this term has been thrown around so much people seem to have forgotten what it means.
The 3D things I got when I was a kid were GI Joes and such. The little holographic light shifting thingies are cool (in the sense that cool means gives you a headache) but are very much 2D. 3D means that there are 3 plains of reality. 2 with a cool way of reflecting the light simply isn't.
Damn, now i not only have to wear gloves but i have to wear a full bunny suit from the clean room every time i do a crime. i wonder if my work will let me take one home?
Maybe i should offer a deal at the flower shop. Buy a dozen roses and get fedora core2 and mandrake download edition FREE. It stikes me funny to give away things which people dont normally pay for anyway.
I mean sure, you paid $2000 for a $600 system, I guess there's that. And then you can pay for cool upgrades such as $200 for a $120 hard drive and $300 for $200 worth of ram. And just for fun we will tack on $300 for a $100 wireless networking setup. I mean, come one. At least the linux guys don't set their money on fire when they desire to go down the less beaten path.
Go ahead and mod me Troll. If thats how you have to deal with your obession to waiste money, I understand.
I have also never thought of this and have never set up a honeypot. I deal considerably with virus patching and do have the corporate status to consider this. Does anyone know of a good, free, Windows based solution? (I am well aware that this is a linux heavy board but the management is always more comfortable when I bring Windows solutions to the table in a Windows shop.)
Why is that every time anyone in the world comes out with something the Germans claim to have done it first?
Newton comes out with calculus, here comes Leibniz.
Yeager breaks the sound barrier, Germans claim that they do it all the time in their Me 262.
Darwin writes the "Origin of Species", the Germans call it a rip off of Mendel (and Haeckel and Chamberlain and add to it and republish).
I could think of more if I thought about it for a while.
I'm not trying to say that the Germans aren't great inventors, engineers, scientists or anything else, it just seems like they always say after the fact, "Oh yeah, we invented that too."

Thank you for maiking my point clear. If I could mod in stories I wrote in, I would mod u up.

It says 3D but it still has a flat, 2D LCD screen. I wish people would quit throwing that word around until we have a true 3D display.
