But
various new sources have mentioned that Ms. Jones resigned from OSRM because SCO had systematically smeared her participation in that organization. No hard feelings between her and SCO could have crept into any of her announcements about that fine purveyor of THE Unix OS.
and I should add, that when Bush & co. bring back the draft, your boss at LockMart or Boeing will, motivated by his own interests, be happy to write your draft board to the effect that you are making a vital and irreplacable contribution to the nation's security in your role as digital doorstop designer and would they please send an english major over to Baghdad instead....I know this works. Sick when you think about it but it works.
and have managed not to have bad debts or drug busts on your permanent record, even a good performance at a mediocre school will get you a job at a defense contractor these days. There are only jobs...whether you enjoy a job is as much you as it is the work or the conditions. The defense jobs are not going offshore and the bush league never saw a defense appropriation they couldn't borrow to pay for. Besides, if you can pull off good grades [not easy but easier at a less competitive school] you won't have much trouble getting internships at defense contractors that will pay for your more advanced degree. Elbo your way into the classes of the most widely published faculty in your CS program and make yourself known. A reference or two is worth the sucking up, assuming you care as much about career outcomes as your question implies. The advanced degree is what gets you into the more rewarding job and your better grades get you into the MS/PhD program at some pretty decent schools these days...we have managed to scare off some of the competition for grad school that used to come
from abroad, esp. the middle east:(
the level of trust a purchaser must have in their
router investment is even higher than the bar for
their OS. It is embedded equipment from the perspective of most users, akin to telco equipment and, of course, connected to and perforce compatible with telco equipment. The rowdy world of open source products and solutions does not yet command that level of respect in any market...even where we know, for instance, some open source operating systems having long track records of superior security and performance vs dominant proprietary alternatives. I am not promoting this kind of thinking as wisdom, mind you, just observing that the market thinks this way.
To look at this contrasting of OS market vs router market from a different perspective, consider whether Cisco's involvement in standards bodies has been as self-promoting as Microsofts. Would XORP have any
goodwill or underdog benefit vis-a-vis Cisco stemming from Cisco being known for trying to rewrite the rules for its exclusive benefit? The technical community knows Microsoft for not playing fair and so looks askance at many of the "solutions" they pose or looks more favorably at the alternatives.
OK. Lets see if I got it. This means that if Fed regulations have driven enough stakes in the ground around some legal turf or domain of activity and judicial interpolation of the "intentions" of the federal regulations disagree with even the most explicit and limited provisions of the state statutes then the consequence could be setting aside the state's law?
here we have proof that getting stressed ages you.
and
here we have proof that pain ages your brain.
and
here we have proof that a drink or two keeps you alive longer
and
even sites that aim to scare you into Tea-total abstinance admit that "...Alcohol ís a depressant. Many people use alcohol as a means to produce feelings of relaxation..."
Uh...um.....I forgot where I was going with all this....I need a drink. Being a 90 year old wino has its drawbacks but I can never remember what they are.
There must be good stress and bad stress because strenuous exercise on a regular basis churns up a lot of free radicals that are supposed to do the same things to you as the telomere damage cited in the art. but instead that is "exercise" and it does you good. Until somebody makes sense out of that littel dicotomy, I am not paying too much attention to these reports. a good Port is better than a good report?
in essence, if a federal law does not specifically
permit an activity, it is within the state's power to prohibit that activity. The State law here [but IANAL] appears very clearly written and defines all its terms and the crime described in those terms with some precision. If a spammer is fighting this law in court, they will have to show that the Fed regulation [sorry, text not available to me here] explicitly permits something that the Ohio law has prohibited. [Law is NEVER as simple as the people enacting it would wish or would promise their constituents.]
but being the first kid on the block to have
this hot-rod of a storage solution is worth it to
some. I remember paying that kind of money in
1984 dollars for a Mac Classic with 20 Mb of HD

Yup, you got it. this would really
enhance the reach of the draft. For an
administration that constantly talks of
reducing government's roll in our lives and
businesses, this really shows what a bunch
of liars they are.
Bronx cheer that is. I cought her on CSPAN
two days ago...she is SO much more modest and mild mannered speaking to an audiance than you would be
led to expect from reading her blog. but if we
have to endure the serrated tongue of Ms. Coulter, fairness requires a wallow in the words of Ms Cox.
with examples such as those two, blogging clearly as hell is not categorically news [and Ms Cox CSPAN presentation to a journalist audiance stated that message quite bluntly]
Bloging IS the news more than it is a report of news just a goofy, interesting kind of news to be taken with a grainery of salt. caveat emptor!
BTW the Sept 26 NYtimes magazine did a long piece on the blogging spawned by the Republican Convention. The content is now only available by purchase on line so check it out at your library.
The story gives an interesting perspective on blogging and quite a few interesting facts [e.g. there are over 2000000 people with their own blogs...get busy reading!]
in the guise of a license is still extortion.
These purchases should be contrasted with the
number of companies that have bought insurance
via
OSRM to see which form of FUD drums up the most business among the cowards and ignorant who only have one principle: CYA
it means compile and link a system of SW components. I get paid to do that.
2nd most profitable thing I do is also "build" I have made some money doing small commercial space renovations but I have saved serious money designing, building and improving my own house. General contractors mark up the cost 20%...I put that in my pocket. Electrical contractors mark up the job 40%...I put that in my pocket. Too bad I cant get a plumber's licence.
yes that sort of rubs salt in the wound: nobody else mentioned that this folly, how ever it plays out, is being paid for by my tax dollars. well, unless you count the huge contributions that telemarketers made to the Bush campaign.
All the management of complexity now takes place within the network, so that consumers no longer even know when their electricity or water company upgrades its technology. Thus, from the user's point of view, says Mr Benioff, "technology goes through a gradual disappearance process."
[from the article] This push to make [for the user] simple what is after all increasingly complex, can only hide, not eliminate the role of the nerd class, a role the article disparages because nerds are presumed, as the inventors, to have foisted off complexity on the unwitting public. Was it Heinlein who said that "any sufficiently advanced [or was his word complex] technology is indistinguishable from magic"? The wish, on the part of typical users and marketers, that all the wonders of our age and
those ages coming next should all just work like magic will in fact only ADD the complexity of UI technologies that are good at hiding the guts of the systems we depend upon. The the engineers and
technicians will be as needed as ever and get even less sympathy from a public that never sees directly what it is that the "nerds" are doing for them.
And Washington post did a better analysis but my submission was not accepted:
2004.11.09: Intel quietly pushing Linux to Asian PC makers
Quote from a story in today's Inquirer: "...Intel, according to the Wall St Journal, is offering a package called Quick Start Kit for Linux to distributors which includes a number of software drivers to support a range of PC peripherals...."
The Washington Post's Webb's Filter[registration needed] column examines the significance of this move to Microsoft, which stands to be hurt if this development is the start of some trend. Sounds like a nice counterpoint to Ballmer's bomb to prospective Linux OEMing in Asia.
I'd re-process this excellent report, if i had time, so that it looked at pair-wise and perhaps triplets of products: Since NO product is 100% coverage, which pair or 3 products are the most effective combination? If I could just load Mr Howes' excellent tables into my spread sheet!
Also, there are clearly some infections that no product can see...vendors, are you paying attention?
And finally, to the apologists for the spyware industry: ANY piece of software so contrived that
[a] I don't get some in-my-face interaction like a EULA click-through to warn me I am installing it and
[b] it has no clearly visible means of completely unistalling itself from my machine
is at the very least a detriment to the performance of my PC and at worst, because it operates in the shadows of my registry and START menu, gives me no easy way to be sure it is not informing others about choices and interests expressed on my PC that are nobody's business but mine. ANY such "convenience" or "novelty" is something I don't want and would never seek to have on my PC so take your sneaky crap and shove back up where it came from, all of it!

If they built one for a typical american height and, worse yet, a typical american girth...it would weigh twice as much and get 1/2 the acceleration.
