Apparently you are not interested in social contacts, because otherwise you would have addressed that. To me that is the main thing I like to work: the people I am with.
I have left places because I di not like the people and went working somewhere for a lower wage. The 1 hour drive in the morning and in the evening I also like. So what if I am not driving 120KMH and it takes 1 hour instead of 20 minutes? I just listen to some books or take a different route to or from work.
I even like it when people ask me a question, because that means when I need something I can go to them and ask them a question.
I get things done by social engineering. Even contact with mu co workers in other countries is not only by phone. We meet each other once in a while and have a beer together, talking about all these stupid little problems, the wife and the dog.
This then enhances the way we work together. We understand each other and can ask each other for help.
I know people who go watch movies about people getting killed. So not only have you violated somebodies privacy for absolutely no reason, you also do not understand the word 'fantasy'.
By your lack of imagination, you might perhaps think that everybody in Hollywood needs to be locked up, because they are sick people. (OK, I would like them locked up, becasue they are sick people as well, but for a completely different reason)
Have you ever obfustigated your emailadress in something like user@example.com.invalid or REMOVETHISuserATexampleDOTcom? This is the same thing.
I think it is a very good thing. That way somebody who 20 years ago did something wrong, did his time and betterd his life won't be punnished for his crime a second time, just because you googled his name.
The information is still available, so if you have interest, go to the court and read it there.
In Belgium I once was a wittness in social elections. These elect the uniun representatives and some other people.
The process was that one person took the paper that said they could vote, another person wrote down who visited. Another gave the person a voting ballot and one person said the persons name aloud. That is 4 people for just giving out the ballot. A person was only allowed to touch one sort of paper and the person calling out the name was not allowed to touch anything.
There were also representatives of each union who were not allowed to touch anything, but could intervene if they saw something that was not according to procedure. They would then tell this to the president of that sitting and to the other unions who then had to all agree with the measures taken by the president.
Counting was done in different stages. 1) Counting the people who got a ballot 2) Counting how many ballots were there. This can not be higher but can be lower then the amount of people 3) Counting the actual votes.
Much more counting before and after. Was it foolproof? Absolutely not, but it was foolproof enough. And this was done in almost each and every company in Belgium.
A similar procedure is used for national elections where there are no voting computers. It works and it is auditable by anybody. There are traces all over the place so if something goes wrong and things DO go wrong. And it is cheaper in the end, even if you have to pay "volunteers".
They have already done that and it is called pen and paper.
I understand that you see every problem as a nail, because all you have is a hammer. The problem is not how to get the best electronic voting system. The problem is how to get the best voting system.
And the 'best' should mean the best for the people and the voting process, not the best for the news media and Fox News.
The most important thing is accuracy, not convenience, not speed and to a certain level not even price.
Where the movie "Wag the dog" made a fake war to get the attention away from alleged sexual behavior of the president. "Wag the dog II" will be about the alleged sexual behavior of the president to get the attention away from war.
I agree. However many people think that that becomes an excuse to treat these people like garbage and that then says more about that person then the person doing the job.
Just so "Not interested" and hang up. Nobody forces you (in general) to keep talking. The moment you do anything that is impolite, it is you who is doing it, not the other person.
Will these machines be counted as running Linux, running Windows or running both? I would say they should be counted as running both.
Also it would mean that the numbers will differ greatly. And as it already runs SLED, why would I need to boot into Windows at all, except for specific tasks?
I also sure hope that they will go with SLED 11 and not with 10 which is expected (or so I heard) first quarter of 2009.
I am sure this goes for closed source as well. If the rookie comes in, he will also have to prove himself. The same goes for every other aspect in life.
If are new into a group, it is to be expected that you have to prove yourself. Whether this is with your local gang, a family you are married into or a bunch of coders is irrelevant.
Even Neo had to prove himself first. Each group will have its own rules and speed of how fast you are accepted. A group of drunk people in a bar might have a lower standard, but if you do not fit in, they will not accept you and will not listen to your sugestions, no matter how wise they are. (Stop drinking? Why? This is FREE BEER)
And if you believe that you can run a deficit for decades without harming anything, then you're a fool.
You don't have to. All you need to do is keep it up for 8 years. Then the others will win, increase taxes and you can blame the others for the higher taxes and get elected again for 8 years.
1 step forward, 2 steps back.
You can fool some of the people all of the time and all of the people some of the time and that seems to be enough.
Indeed his data would not be compromised as in being in the hands of somebody else. The data would indeed be removed. e.g. they have 1.000.000 social security numbers and other personal data in several files. What you CAN do is delete the files (if you get the FTP login and password). What you can't do is read those files, because they are encrypted.
When I do my shopping at least half of the people there only have a single basket of stuff, yet have to queue up with at the same checkouts as people with large trolleys.
They solved that here by having a 'basket only' checkout which replaces basically the 'ten items or less' one.
They will reduce wait time
indeed, but only at the moment you are at the checkout. The time you waste by weighing your stuff yourself needs also to be calculated. It is not so much the time one person spends at the checkout, but the time ALL the people spend in the store AND the amount of people they need at the till, without making the average queue time longer. They will remove staff from the checkout of the lines become too short.
Because the less that person needs to think/work, the quicker I get out of the store again!
Untrue. They will not reduce the wait time. They will reduce the staff. So instead of 10 people doing checkout, they will have only 8. It will indeed reduce your time at the checkout, but it will not decrease and perhaps even increase your total shopping experience.
Stores want you as long as possible in their store. It will make you buy more. If you then have a perceived time gain (not a real one) that is even better.
Obviously the time spend must not be irritating, otherwise it is counterproductive. So they know how long it takers before people will start to get irritated and have moved your time with the girl to a minimum, as people think that time is the most 'wasted' while not decreasing the overal time.
For some it might take less time for others it might take more time overall. You can be sure that the profit is calculated. If the store would not gain, it would not happen.
the whole process does move a lot faster at the checkout when labels are printed in advance
And that is the whole point. That way they can use less staff there. The process for the customer as a whole takes more time. Often I need to wait for the scale to be free then I need to look for where the selection is. So for the customer it take more time, but the store saves.
Also I have used supermarkets where you do NOT put a sticker on it. The person at the checkout has a scale in the same place where the scanner is and enters the PLU. This is as fast as scanning, while not having the need to scan them myself. (I can still check if I want to)
As for people doing the packaging. I have seen it and it takes me again much more time. I do not care what time I spend at the checkout. I care about the time I spend for the whole experience.
To compare it: I am not interested if you have the fastest computer in the world that does a process 2 seconds faster if I as a user lose 5 seconds by needing more time to enter the data.
And then there is the self-checkout. The only advantage I see is not so much the speed. It is that they can use one person instead of 4 to man them. The same with the scanners you walk around with yourself.
OK, the last two might indeed save me about 5 minutes. It will also give me the not so nice feeling that just put some people out of a job, so I can have 5 minutes more to waste on/.
So I now take my time whenever I go shopping. If somebody runs to get in front of me, I let them. I do NOT use the self-checkout lanes, even if there is nobody there and I do have the technical knowledge.
To not use the scanners you can use is also because I do not use a customer card. They can not link my stuff I buy to the way I pay. The privacy laws here do not allow it.
openSUSE doesn't do upgrades, except security upgrades. You can also install Firefox 3 form this page. It is the second link. Not sure whether 10.2 can do the on-click install, but you can try to click it and see what happens. Otherwise add the firefox repo in YaST and install from there.
I can see a relative easy solution for Linux and that is just scripting the whole thing. Almost any backup script should be able to do what you want and can get the files from Windows machines as well. That will be in CLI, which should not be an issue as backups should not run in GUI anyway, but automagicaly with cron.
It becomes different if you also want the restore to be in the same tool.
A rabbi and a minister went swimming naked at a lake when some children came. Both ran out of the water to their clothes.
The minister covered his 'private parts' while the rabbi covered his face. When the minister asked why the rabbi did not cover his genitals for the children, the rabbi said : "Hey they recognize me by the face."

Sounds like "military intelligence".
OTOH if you live with a partner and you do not trust them in so far as that you have to do all those steps, you also have bigger problems.

100 gigs? What am I to do with the rest of my 4TB?
As an answer: there are several providers that give free Usenet access, including binaries, to IPv6.
Then I am doing it wrong, because I just use the mouse and click to do a shut down or a reboot.
I am sure this goes for closed source as well. If the rookie comes in, he will also have to prove himself. The same goes for every other aspect in life.
