I back you 100%. I can not seem to drill into the heads of my customers that they can not be sending files by email. We have tried everything, we have given secure drop boxes to delver files to people, we have put up a public access scratch drive (w/ 7-day auto delete) to dump jokes and such, we have posted step by step instructions to make links to files in an email. We limit live mail boxes to 100 MB w/ a nag screen and 200 MB send privleges taken away. We limit the attachement size to 30 MB external and 50 MB internal. If you are over limit, you must store mail to local drive. If you want it saved, you must move to CD, DVD, or tape. Even beyond this all, mail server (like all other servers) has minimum 1 year of incremental backups stored to tape off-site. Even with all this info and restrictions over 50% of the users see the nag screen on a daily basis and people (esp HR) still attach 3MB word docs and send to over 100 people.
actually that's not quite right. a body at rest (like my fat ass in this chair) has balanced vectors. gravity down equals the "normal force" up and here I sit. if you were to remove this normal force (or at least greatly reduce it) due to some activity such as the plane plummeting towards earth at the approximate speed of gravity, you would have unbalanced vectors (hence the proclivity to plummet.)
now for the task at hand. the feeling of "weightlessness" up for discussion is the feeling of being untouched and yet at the same speed as your extremely local surroundings, including the air. untouched because you are at the same speed of a rollercoaster while strapped you feel it. if you were to sky dive, you would feel the upward force of wind.
point being, unbalance vectors cause movement, balanced vectors cause stillness, not weightlessness.
How Dare You a cow or two there are lterally 1000's of cows on the drive up I-5. That dive is 500 miles of fuck-all. I grew up at 2:48, little home town in the middle of it. I live in LA now and drive that 350 miles one way about once a month. Late at night you can start day dreaming and realize that you just missed the last 50 miles of nothingness yet nothing has changed. I love California and the farms here feed the world but definatly _not_ an interesting thing to watch.
I have been known to code a little. My languages in the order I learned them: C, C++, Motorola based assembly, Intel based assembly, Java, MIPS based assembly, and perl.
Let me state that I(NSH)MO only assembly programmers have the right to discuss what is and is not ridged, optimized, and solid. To continue with your analogy, I can build out of bricks or mud and sticks, and I know how to turn mud and sticks into bricks.
At the current time, perl is my language of choose. The longevity of the code is at the discretion of the coder in any language. The readability is a combination of the skill level of the reader and the completeness of the commenting and documentation. The fact that I can say either: if ( x != y ) or unless ( x == y ) makes the code easier to read. Also: elsif( x == y ){ } is far cleaner than: else{
if( x == y ){
} } Its not the operators that cause confusion, it is the habit of the programmer. In all fairness, I do have trouble reading: ( x == Y ) && ( a == b ) || ( y = 1 ); rather than if ( ( x != y ) || ( a != b ) ){ y = 1};
But who am I to say that my way of doing it is any better than his.
The moral of this story is that what they pay us for is NOT to think like everyone else. TIMTOWTDI helps us remember this.
I'm in CA. Here the county sheriff decides who is and is not in need of a ccw. If you live in a county (such as san bernadino) where the sheriff is a fan of the ccw, then a just reason could just be that you work nights. If you live in a county where the sheriff doesn't like ccw (like LA) then you can't even get away with a story like "I'm mugged at gun point 3 times a week."
Yes this is the case, however the most important aspect of the switch is that it can break data from one port to another without makeing all ports listen to it. Imagine a hub as a party line where all the traffic is rebroadcasted to all the ports. A switch can have port 3 talk to port 4 and at the same time let port 2 talk to port 5.
To make this even better, most swiches have a buffer where they hold data packets. most of the time people are not trying to talk to others on the same swich as them, they are heading upstream to a server or the internet. if one packet was already going out in a hub, the second one that came by would fail and have to be resent by the source. in a swich, this will get cued up in the buffer and then sent along its merry way when the switch is ready. should the buffer fill, the swich will revert to a hub and try to get a hold back on things.
Some of the more advanced swiches have additional features. Some swiches can assign ip addresses within a specified vlan, releaving stress from the actual dhcp server. there are more features too, like burning ports to block bad computers access and on and on.
I live in LA, we have more traffic than anyone else in this nation. The cars actually outnumber the population in most communities. Having said that, realize that I _know_ what traffic is. At 2 AM, there is very little traffic even here.
When the speed limits were put into effect, it was before airbags, anti-lock brakes, titanium, crumple zones, break-away motor mounts, or even seatbelts (as a common practice). Driving my Saturn at 85 when there is no traffic, is not any more dangerous than at 65. Driving a car made for speed, like a viper, at 115 is not dangerous without traffic.
Even in the presence of traffic, it is not the speeding which is the problem. The problem is reckless driving. People can head a reasonable amount over the speed limit, based on safety conditions such as weather, road conditions, and visibility, without any serious danger. The problem is that people will drive offensively, block other drivers from continuing on or merging, will weave in and out of traffic, will honk and give people the bird. This is the real problem. The speed is just the easiest way to quantify a problem which should have been qualified.
Ever think about this? Where do we get reports saying that speeding causes more deaths and accidents? Insurance agencies. Insurance companies base rate on points. Number 1 reason for points, speeding tickets. Number 1 lobbyer against repealing speeding laws? insurance agencies.
Non-insurance agency reports generally say that speeding doesn't make an accident any better or worse.
We don't like speeding laws but we never get the chance to vote them away based on companies funding campaigns full of biased data. This is a perfect example of a republic failing where a democracy would have succeeded.
The republic was made because tallying votes from every person wasn't possible so we tallied the votes for an area and let them vote as a block. Now that it is possible (diebold aside) it's time to implement the democracy.
i wish i could tell you how many lives and how much money but im lazy. here is a sample, washoe county nevada: population 375,000, size 6,608 sware miles. this team rescues about 400 people per year and saves the taxpayers about $500,000 (volunteers). Of course, this is the sierra-nevadas where its eaisyer to get lost than most places but i would guess that nationally, we are talking about 1000's of lives and 100 millions of dollars.
I would love to teach teh world to use and read maps. I have personally taught over 200 people. if there were more people out there teaching like me, we wouldn't have the map-illiteracy we have. Fact it, its not working, time to try something new. Further, in america, we almost always choose the technological answer over the simplistic. (no traffic circles, just lights) its a part of our culture.
more people will take a key fob with them than sit through a 2 hour map reading course and take a map with them.
True that most killed are high-adventurers but even davey crochett got lost for a few days. sech and rescue teams find bodys hanging on rocks better than people wandering lost.
let em die you say. sure i guess we could do that. personally, i would like to think that we use our knowlage, money, technology, and intellegence to do something more for our citizens.
You do have a point but try to remember that (most of) the forests are US govt property. The fire permit is for the good of the forest. Once a fire starts in a naltional forest, we let it run its course unless it threatens lives or buldings which are not on forest property. If a person goes to the forest, denies the tag, gets lost, and requires rescuing, perhaps they should have some sort of responsabillity. Your wording made it clear that you were concerned that people are not really lost and we set out to rescue them nonetheless. That should be addressed/solved by the leguslature when/if the required policy comes to be. That's what we pay them for.
Yea, I am. Adults are not required to wear bike helmets. Head down a bike trail and you'll notice that almost all of them do. Climbers are not required to wear safety harnesses, yet it would be stupid not to, so (mostly) they do. Taking radios, handguns, first aid kits, all popular with hikers.
BTW, all of those are optional, not free, and took quite a bit longer to implement.
There is a world outside that cubicle and you might be surprised what you will find there.
I'm not sure what "breating" is. Even if you say "breathing", the sentence still doesn't make sense.
I'm sorry to see you got modded as redundant. I didn't see this anywhere. The problem here is that cell towers are ugly, tall, weak in the presence of trees, and putting them in national forests is, IMHO, a really bad idea. also, they transmit about 5 miles so they would have to be everywhere and for various companies. I would not hear people talking on their cells as I take a quite walk in the woods, or be awakened at night by the nokia sound echoing in the cool evening air.
The article didn't say it was NT 4. IT could be W2k (NT 5) or even XP.
Also, due to bad press thx to worms at end of 2003, the retirement date of NT 4 has been moved to the end of next month. (shown by hot fixes for last week are offered for NT 4)
This will bring the issue up for a vote. If passes, great, if not, the rights we currently have assumed in the absence of a solid law, could be definitively taken away. At current time, many people believe that they do have the right and do make backups. If a bill allowing it fails, they could easily make a bill that bans it and take away the grey area which people are currently running in.

orange county, san franciso, and west la are all considered expendable. shame to lose the redwoods though.

actually, its up up down down left right (optional additional left right) b a select start.
not that it was popular with "other video games from that era", it was the code to almost all Capcom brand games.
