I'd love to see that here. I think a Linux desktop would make a lot of people happy, the users for having linux and the managers for saving money. Maybe if it takes off there, Novell and others will try it elsewhere.
It seems that $4.1 billion is not quite as much money as is lost by the people in the US not being able to buy things HERE because they dont have jobs. All that money goes directly to the corporations, and their CEOs when they sell any product. Eventually they'll simply start producing the products in the countries they're selling them to. They can make compaq computers in India if they need to.
In the long run, outsourcing will create some jobs, but it will be a fraction of the jobs that we currently have. Sure, people can retrain and new industries will develop, but the rapid loss of jobs puts a damper on the economy, one which can be tough to bounce back from.
The corporations are not worried about this, because they can still export products to other countries. Everyone else will have trouble.
why? because current TVs dont act very well as mirrors. They're reflective when they are off, especially the shiny ones. But when you want a mirror, and you're in a pinch for money, go for a large window at night, or a shiny metal pot or pan, those are far better than a tube TV thats turned off.
I was getting dozens of junk emails about the "new mini RC cars! the smallest RC car available" around christmas time last year. I wonder if he had anything to do with those emails....... hmmmm.....
It sounds like a pretty good idea actually. For China, with 1/6th the worlds population, they have their own internal 'global economy'. They are almost self sufficient with all the resources they need. It's kind of like the walmart of the superpowers: If you want to do business with China, you have to do it their way.
It would be interesting to have a cell-phone implant. You can call your friends and relatives, and always get them and know what they are thinking. And MAN, it would get annoying!
How about living in a way that our bodies were actually meant to. Exercising, working with our bodies, and communicating in person. Eventually we will just be sitting at home, in a lazy-boy with our brains plugged in to a network and all work from home. But, that would suck!
It's for MONEY. You are correct, their upgrade revenue stream needs some more cash. For what, I don't know. Microsoft has more money than most small countries.
I've heard it likened to a pasta machine. The pasta is always coming out the spout, every so often Microsoft cuts some off and sells it.
My fiance has a picture of: her, her parents, her sister, standing with John Kerry. Just the five of them. I dont know who took the picture.
Are pictures with famous people copyrighted in some way by the famous person? I hope not. I just think its really cool that my future wife had her picture taken with a potential US president.
What happens with these programs? Does both the Windows virus scanner and the 3rd party work at the same time? Or is it something that you can set in the settings, like "default browser".
My friend works for Sikorsky and told me about this news this morning. He works on the Comanche project, and he was quite bummed. I'll find out soon what he heard and how long he'll be there.
It's tough when the project you're working on is cancelled and there is no fall back.
I wish the Sikorsky engineers luck in finding new jobs.
I worked for an insurance company when it was in the process of merging with a bank in the largest merger in history in the US. The merged company became Citigroup. The only problem with the merger was that there were laws preventing insurance companies from merging with banks.
As the merger went along, the attitude was that 'were waiting to get the appropriate legislation passed'. It was very matter of fact, that they knew the laws were going to change to allow them to merge... because they changed them!
You sir..... are correct. I agree with you. When job hunting involves moving two people, it can get interesting. Often its better to agree with your wife, especially if she is nurse.
When I was looking for a job last spring in the New York and/or Boston areas, I decided to take the direct route and mail my resume to companies/organizations that I would want to work for. I was looking in biomedical engineering, research, and medical fields. So I mailed out 500 resumes. It took me a few weeks to print the letters, labels, and fold/seal/stamp them all, but you know what happened?
NOTHING! 500 resumes sent out, with research experience in college, experience in the medical field, adept at programming. I got around 50-70 "Thank you for sending us your resume...." letters. I got one interview, and it wasn't even for a programming job.
My experience is that if you dont have a lot of experience, like me at the time, one year out of college, you'll have a hard time finding a job no matter where you look. Especially if the economy is bad. Since I couldn't find anything in the NY area, I had to convince my fiance to not accept an job at the NYU medical center, just so i could stay in my current insurance job.
Of course AFTER i decide to stay, I've had requests for interviews. It's kind of painful to tell them "No.. I'm sorry, I can't interview for a biomedical research position working in my field of interest at Columbia University. Yeah, even if tuition for graduate school is included. And yes, even for that salary"
Keeping my wife happy is job enough, and definitely worth it. I now know to be patient until the economy is better. There's always a better chance of finding a job when there are more of them.
The enemy may try to infiltrate our hypervelocity rods. Their expansionist ideas will cause them to develop more destructive rods. We must NOT allow a rod-gap!
The other fact is that 6 million jews were killed along side the homosexuals and gypsies. The jews were forced into ghettos where walls were built to keep them seperated from outsiders. The people who were persecuted and murdered other than jews were few in number, not nearly as many as the Jews themselves.
Any kind of identification tag is a bad thing. The jews wore a star because it was the shape of the star of david.
If you want more information or to see what the Jews went through in WWII, go to the holocaust museum in NYC. It's extremely informative, and despite what some people would say or choose to ignore, the parallels between Hitler's rise to power and what is happening in the united states is strikingly similar.
If you happen to go to the museum, the last exhibit you see before you leave is the most troubling. It was a Torah stolen by the Nazis. They were keeping it with the intention of displaying it in a museum of the history of the extinct jewish race.
Well, he's put food on my family, and he's told me "it's a budget, its got a lot of numbers in it. hehe" so i'll beleive him when he talks about nucular weapons.
search for "ntsc cable descrambler". you will get thousands of results, and ALL are spam. some search terms are just more likely to produce spam results.
I would love to eliminate it. To me, it's a complex engineering problem to get rid of it. The problem is presented as this:
- spam is cheap to produce - a sucker is born every day - even if 70% of the spam sent out doesn't get to it's destination, millions of messages will still be received - spam filters are not installed on all mail servers - spam is CHEAP to produce (again)
Cost is what stops junkmailers from filling postoffice mailboxes. Cost is the biggest barrier to preventing spam. It costs $0.20 to send a bulk mail item through the postoffice, it can get expensive if you want to send millions of junk mails.
How can email on the internet remain free/cheap and still not allow spam to run rampant?

I can do one better than that, for $20.00 and cab fare, I will go to a public access TV station, and broadcast a whole half hour show about you! The signals will be beamed all over space, and your memory will travel the universe until the signal is too weak for someone to receive... or decode.
I wonder if those random IMs I got in AIM are related to MyDoom. I got a couple random messages about capturing Osama Bin Laden from people i have talked to in ages. Seems like some sort of virus. Anyone else have that happen?

Meant to? Meant to by whom?

But all that junk that they had is amazing! Why would you need an arcade? Why have a Hummer? Pool tables, etc. Why?
If the people who were doing the purchasing had actually made the money themselves, they wouldn't have been spending it like water.
