Everyone point at stare at the sucker [ME]...i did one of these tech schools... A.S. Degree in 18 months... then as if that wasn't bad enough, I turned around and did a second A.S. by adding another 6 months of classes...
Despite all my certs and the fact that I actually know what I am doing, the job market isn't responding so well.
So i'm stuck in a help-desk position for the last 3 years now.../sigh gonna go make out a check to pay this months student loan payment now...

I hate to say it, but that feature doesn't cut it to stopping that. Sure by default OE 2000 and later block access to attachments, but most end users simply turn access to it back on.
You would not believe how many users a day call me asking why everytime they try and open the attachment their friends/coworkers/family send them it gives them this message and I end up having to tell em how to turn off the blocking feature. (work for a broadband ISP)
So I hate to say it, but most home end users will still open up "zipped-idiot-run-this-file-and-give-me-my-backdoo r-to-your-system.exe"
actually your old geoworks aol name wont be lost if they cancel the account, if you registered it with the AIM service as an AOL name. which if memory serves me right, you have to do to use it with trillian. thats how i still have an old name from an old aol account from years ago.
begin quote: "I would consider creating a human life simply for the sake of scientific experimentation unethical, religion aside.":end quote
Would it be less unethical to create another form of life for experimentation?
Is it scientifically unethical to push the boundaries of science further to the point where we could in fact pro-create the species in such a way?
From a religous standpoint this would be us playing "g0d", but it also a progression.
Now I would not support creating an entire human life capable of self-awareness for the purpose of harvesting it's organs, but I would supoort cloning those organs. I would also support creating a human being capable of self-aware for the purpose allowing it to live a life.
It take two people to conceive a life. It should also take two people to decide to not go through with bringing that life to full term in this world. With that said, the mother in this case has more power to pull the plug, but in a normal relationship, this should be a mutual decision, and not something in which he has no input at all.
Either way though it has nothing to do with this article. This article is *NOT* about abortion or terminating or not terminating a life.
I for one support this research, the benefits we can gain from it far outweight the negative implications.
And if we do along the way create a fully developed human being out of it? So what? This is science. I'd kindly ask you to keep your religous view out of it and remain scientifically objective on the issue.
ya know after all the depenguinator and "upgrading" your linux box to BSD articles lately...i should have some sort of witty remark to this... but sadly i dont.
after reading the article i only had 2 questions... why is he trying to install an application on Longhorn that isn't out? damn pirate!(hehe) and why does a MSDN article link to a google search instead of a MSN search?
editors over at M$ slipping up, i guess.
other then that good article, got alot of good ideas actually from it.
I guess its time for me to get that windows machine back up and running...
hmm on second thought, thousands of windows computers at work and just as many ignorant email users...
As the article said, I hate to see anyone stoop this low, but SCO had it coming. You can anger windows users, because they don't know any better, but Linux users? Well we fight back!
Lieberman is now part of the advertising engine. GTA can't buy that kind of advertising. I mean h said that I should see the game, which now I just might buy it.
"Of course, there is the eternal concern that mischievous gamers will take pictures of, well, other body parts, giving the 'Personal Head Creation' technology a bad name."
Gamers doing this? I don't believe it!
Give the "Personal Head Creation" a bad name? Obviously they didn't think too hard about the name they gave it did they?
OK, OK..point made by all. It was my error that I didn't notice this was ESA's report, not NASA. I've just felt overwhelmed by little bits of info coming out of NASA as of late, that this just seemed like another carrot being tossed our way. And I hold my position on NASA's carrots. Yes water is a prerequisite for life, but I don't see this being such a big deal. We've pretty much known there is water there in some form. Sure this confirms it. I'll be more excited when we bring some of that water back and see results that possibly "life" in some form exists in it.
Short attention span? no. My point originally was that we are going to grow sick of hearing all these little daily updates. rover got stuck, rover this, rover that.
bah,/.ignore me - i think i'm cranky today and this story just hit me the wrong way.
You know as of late it seems to me that NASA is just feeding us every little finding in morsel form. It feels like we are being baited with a carrot. This whole "we found water" thing is no exception. We go from hearing next to nothing to now hearing something "new" just about everyday. I understand they are grasping to get the American public "excited" once more about space exploration, but still. Water does not excite me.
I think Microcode Solution's PowerPC emulator for x86 should be in the running now for Lifetime Achievement Vaporware Award as well at this point.
They however have learned to at least stop updating at all since their last showing and instead have only this to say:
"Microcode Solutions has received what we believe will be the final hardware revision of the PCI based PowerPC card being manufacturered by a well known PowerPC accelerator company.
The current board is a high speed G3 board. Other models are being prototyped right now, and these are G4 and dual processor configurations.
Microcode Solutions has always been the leader in Macintosh emulation technology, developing the first PowerPC emulation for a non-Macintosh platform. We will continue this tradition by releasing the first Power Macintosh emulation for the PC.
Besides having a PCI based hardware solution, Microcode Solutions will also be releasing a completely software based emulation to the public at an amazingly low price (under $50).
We know that people have waited an extremely long time for Microcode Solutions to release a new product, and we appreciate your patience. Just like our successful product "FUSION-PC", we feel we should wait to release the product until it is perfected. We are nearing that stage right now."
hmm well actually TNG and DS9 were in the same time periods.
Voyager wasn't horrible though IMO, it was just Janeway drove me nuts.
And as to Enterprise. I passed judgement on it before the pilot even surfaced.
It is Scott Bakula as a Star Trek Captain. (depsite the fact I liked Quantum Leap as a kid, I could never take serious in this role.)
And the show messed the continuity of the fictional world up.
that said, good riddance to it.
Personally I'd like to see the franchise put together a new movie bringing back some DS9 characters.

Is this a "SCO-Killer"? (sorry couldn't resist another death toll around here)

The father's view on the issue IS relevant!

and still no support for video mirroring output on the s-vid port of my geforce 2 mx400 :(
which means my VOD server for the house still has to run windows... bah!
its the only stable!
I guess its time for me to get that windows machine back up and running...

your father smelled of elderberries...not strangeberries ;) those the above mentioned berries seem strange.
all i've got to say is whatever they are building, it better be scratch and sniff enabled.

...Year that Linux takes the Desktop...
wait wasn't that last year? the year before? hehe
But seriously though, I see this is a very good move on the part of both projects.
