This does not make sense. Almost all anti-virus vendors offer this same alert. All you have to do is go to their website and signup. I know because I get 3-5 of them a day in my inbox. Why the government would want to waste taxpayer dollars on this is beyond me. Of course, I have no reason to talk because I don't live in the UK.
But when going on the US's past programs like this, any time you get the government involved, things tend to get out of hand.
I just don't understand the need especially when symantec will do this for free.
Can someone enlighten me on what finding gravitational waves will tell us? That there are bodies of mass in space? I am not a specialist in this area but I don't know what detecting gravity in space will tell us that we don't know. Unless we are looking for black holes.
The call center I work for is in a rural area of less then 20,000 people. There are three types of jobs in this town. The educated work here. The uneducated work at a Tyson Food processing plant. The rest work in retail such as restaurants and grocery stores that the other two groups keep open.
I live in a 4 bedroom house on 7 acres 15 mins from my job and the payment is 650 a month.
Of course the DSL is about 400kb down on a good day.
The problem with this is that the town growns so dependent on the two industries here that when trends cause employee moves, have the town goes belly up. The whole company used to be here but then they moved our merchandising and logistics departments to a new complex in the nearest big city and about half of this town has shutdown. Not to mention you are an hour away from any real forms of entertainment or good shopping.
This is positive as it's cheap, beautiful, and quiet.
It's negative because it's quiet, less technologically advanced, small town minded.
My library does. Keep a movie beyond 30 days and they charge you 1.25 a week. Keep it over six months and they put a tax stop on your vehicles. Keep it over a year and they will file a court judgment against you for the value of the book.
It's called borrowing/renting for a reason. If you want to keep it forever, buy it. That's my point.
Hollywood is fine, except they don't carry Unrated movies. They call themselves a "family" video store and don't carrying anything worse than R rated. They also don't have a truly unlimited plan. They have their MVP plan, but it doesn't cover NEW releases.
You could have grabbed it. It would not have shocked you. Unless you touched another one of the wires or you were grounded some how. Asphalt shingles or or clay tiles will insulate you enough that you can hold onto that wire. I do it all the time when I clean my gutters out.
Most people seem to forget that if you want to keep the movies as long as you want, they have an unlimited rental plan just like Netlfix. This is only for people who sometimes keep their movies over a few days. The only people bitching are the same people who think they can keep a library book for 6 months.
The majority of their rentals are 5 days. You get a week in addition to that. If you can't stop by the video store on your way home to drop your movies off in 12 days, they should charge you.
Or better yet, go back to the old policy and autodraft late fees from the customers. See which policy causes people to bitch more.
Actually Boyz in the Hood was awful. And we can all see by your taste in movies that the casting director will probably succeed in his goals. The only thing 8 Mile proved was if you can sell a million or two albums, then you should skank out a hot chick and make a ghetto movie because it will probably sell. Instead of making a well thought movie, let's fill the roles with a bunch of pop culture idiots so we can attract all the bubble blowers and the preteens. Better make it PG-13 though or it won't succeed.
I don't care how many black men are cast as leading roles. Please do...as long as they can act.
And lastly, if by "street-wise" you mean thug, then no, I don't want to adapt to that.
Aren't we talking about the same MCI/Worldcomm that cooked their books 2 years ago? So bad accounting practices don't seem to be the only questionable business in which they participate.
What in the hell are you talking about? It's been at least 2 years since we have had a patch crash our machine here on a 5000 workstation environment.
Not the mention that SP2 works great unless you happen to be running a in house application that was coded in basic back in 1942. Then you will have some problems. I have it running on about 10 workstations and I have had no problems except for once when I rolled back the install and corrupted a file. The only reason we haven't deployed it to all 5000 of our machines is that the firewall in SP2 does not allow remote control from the version of SMS we run in this environment. Once we get the new SMS version on the server, all workstations in this environment will be upgraded
I am so sick of this crap. Sure MS is evil, but get over it. They are not the devil. Foosball is the devil!
Seriously, I will be one of the first to get my patches on Tuesday morning....
This happens every time a Miller Lite commercial is ran on tv. They aren't using trademarks in advertisements. The suit states that the when you search on google.com for pepsi a coke ad may appear that Coke paid for. The next thing you know Johnson and Johnson will sue them because a search on Band-aid returns a first aid site in the results.
I know what you are saying, the difference in my analogy and the suit is that you are searching for Product A and you get an ad for Product B. My argument is that you still get the results for Product A. I would appeal, then counter sue.
Or better yet, google should just invade the country, change it's name to Froogle, and use it as a portal for their shopping site.
The question to ask yourself is do I save enough in support to offset the added expense of training 100000 employees who only know a Microsoft world to use Linux.
I support both our Corporate Employees and Retail Stores in a Fortune 50 company. The basic end user can BARELY use Windows. I would slit my wrists if this company migrated to Linux tomorrow. Techies would be fine. But that's less then 10% of our workforce. The problem keeping companies from switching is the 57 year old accountant who can't remember his login password or understand inbox management X 1000.
"The DOJ should be instead insisting that Microsoft bundle third-party alternatives with the OS not just providing a control panel."
This statement is overrated. As a general rule, in a free republic, you can't force someone to give away competitor's products with their goods. What would make more sense would be to force Microsoft to remove their bundled applications from the core installation. Then allow them to include a second cd with a Windows purchase that has IE, WMP, and other "bundled" apps on the disk. That way, you can install what you choose and forget about what you don't want.
I don't think that a ruling forcing Microsoft to provide Quicktime, Mozilla, and Winzip with their Window products would ever hold water in a court of appeal. It works with *nix because it's free.
This is a correct statement, and vastly under rated. I currently employ this train of thought as well and I am happily employeed by a Fortune 50 company in the retail industry but we have one of the best IT departments in the country and I love it!
There is a similiar version of this software for DVDs that runs on the PC platform. http://www.intervocative.com. Even has a free version. Doesn't do books, cds, or games, but I love it for my 500+ DVD collection.
That's called communism. It looks great on paper, but there is a problem when you mixed it with human nature. It never works. You see, there is this problem called human nature where you want to be the alpha male and not happy just being one of the worker bees. That's why this will never happen.
"Now, we just need a system where we can actually *get* files from people we don't immediately trust by having the peers that we *do* trust act as relay stations or something."
It's called newsgroups or IRC. Both relatively easy to use (once you learn to tell the difference between the "good" stuff and the crap) and not targeted by the RIAA or MPAA. At least not yet.
I don't understand why our government feels they can control global problems by signing a piece of paper. If CANSPAM taught us anything it was that thinly enforceable laws are not an effective way to fight technology problems.
I don't know about the player but I know the chick that is holding the player in all those magazine ads they just launched (see this month's STUFF) has HUGE knockers.....

Pounds, dollars, or rupees, it's still a waste. Here, there, or everywhere.

Those are all things I did, but a lot of times I feel like I'm one of the only ones here who ever did this kind of thing.
Sorry, I was busy getting laid....
