these are people who've rejected daylight savings time.
The real conflict aren't the pesky farmers kicking up a fit. The conflict is certain areas of Indiana want to remain on central time (i.e. Lake County and Evansville) while the rest wants to go on eastern time. So the problems they face is drawing the lines to make enough people happen to get the vote passed.
I've been conducting interviews for a professor and one of the interview subjects worked for said corporation. Won't mention names of people. But not only did he toe the company line he strutted up and down it. Every other answer was about intellectual property, why the GPL is a legal minefield, how no one better sully his code by bringing in outside source, etc. So they're going to have a lot of re-indoctrination to do with this whole paradigm shift if it's serious.
Danny: "Why do they always paint hallways that color?" Rusty: "They say taupe is very soothing."
But all kidding aside, what colors make for an aesthetically pleasing work environment? I know I've walked into a certain yogurt chain which paints everything red, green, blue, and yellow and felt nauseous. So it's easy to say what's bad, but then what's good?
Its their computer, they can decide how you use it. If your job doesn't require you to change the system settings, its much easier to remove the ability instead of just trust you to do your work and it prevents problems due to mistakes. If its corporate policy to have a single screensaver and wallpaper, then you should be locked out of changing them, because I have never met someone who could be trusted not to change it after they were told not to if they could. Most workers think they can be trusted not to do the mundane things they were told not to, but time has told that they can't. Its not your system you just use it, so suck it up.
Hit the nail right on the head with that one. You don't have the same rights to computer/network usage at work as you do in the privacy of your own home. In fact "privacy" at work probably doesn't exist.
Even better would be indirect lighting to majorly cut down on screen glare. At one place I worked it was a constant battle between the keyboard jockeys to keep the glare away and the HR people who had to follow health codes such as minimum lighting levels.
Well, Abraham Lincoln wouldn't be a name for a destroyer. President names are used for Nimitz-class super carriers. In fact, Lincoln is already taken by the CVN-72. I think destroyers take their names from famous Navy personnel.
We are prisoners to our own PC, spyware, viruses, martha steward pajamas.
How so? You combine imagery of laissez-faire capitalism with an authoritarian technocracy. The two don't jive. If we were really "prisoners" to our PCs then we wouldn't have to spend money to buy whatever we like, they would be assigned to us by Big Brother or whichever faceless evil entity you choose. As for spyware and virii, they're products of ignorance.
I'd rather have a silent firewall... I'm not the kind of people who likes having a big warning everytime some script kiddy scans my port 31337 or pings me... hell ZoneAlarm will warn you if there's a DHCP server on your network... and people who don't know better think that OMG IT'S A HAX!!!!!!11111111...
Without even looking at the specs I imagine there's a threshold value to set on the alerts. Not every alert would trigger a Sousa-style marching band alert. On a semi-related note, perhaps disabling responses to external ICMP requests would be wise to avoid those pings.
It's true in the sense that every possible angle of convergence is going to be covered. Watch for a feeding frenzy of new technology. Then watch again as the truly useless technologies are abandoned by users and go the way of the dodo.
In related news, scores of pigs originally reported stolen have been sighted soaring overhead. Aerospace engineers and hog farmers alike suggest citizens in the affected areas to invest in sturdy umbrellas.
Judging from my experiences today, I would say it's already happened. A dozen of their keys for nytimes.com didn't work.
I'm sure a clever admin could code up a filter to automatically disable accounts that have "suspicious" usage patterns such as multiple simultaneous logins from different addresses.
Besides, I'm sure that they have fixed their computers so they won't boradcast an IP address...
Just like those pop-ups warn me about? If you're broadcasting your IP address then you're going out of your way to do so. I can't think of a legitimate reason to do it for your own address. Someone else's address, however, would make for a smurf attack. There's no way around disabling your IP address if you want to do things like HTTP, which requires a request followed by a response back to the requesting IP. So, no IP, no/.
I don't think soldiers will be wearing this technology any time soon. It requires an image to be project on the material. Doesn't seem practicle for a soldier running throught the forest. Now if you wanted to hide a stationary vehicle or plane this could be the ticket.
Sniper teams don't usually go running through the forest. Imagine how dangerous a sniper/spotter pair behind an optical camoflage facade would be.

It's a totally fresh concept. They're merging Star Trek and Babylon 5. It's Star Trek only with a space station instead of a... oh, nevermind...
I'd prefer a couple magazines of .223 inch "rescue disks."
but they have been hearing questions about how people can get the copy-blocked songs from the CD onto an iPod.
You have to pay extra for the privilege of using the music you've already bought once.
Just remember that the more advanced features these phones get, the cheaper your plain jane phone will be.
Very soon the day will come that people can compare the heatsink fans mounted on their cell phones.

Donde es el BBAÑO?
I had to write a ray tracer as a course assignment once. So I have much respect for those who can write one that just works.
