Decent shredders cost a lot more than "next to nothing". I reckon you have to spend at least $100 to get one that can shred an envelope with junk mail inside (without having to open it), and that will last several years.
What about Windows shares?
Since WinFS is a database that stores metadata about each file, this means that each copy of XP must serve up this metadata for anyone trying to share the file.
I read somewhere that performance problems with this is one of the reasons for the delays....
I use Wells Fargo in SF and have noticed that sometimes there can be a one second delay from when I push a button and when it registers. This started about a year ago. Could this be caused by the fact it is running Windows?
I find myself on a train alot after peak hours while a baseball or football game is on. I'd love to be able to listen to it on the cell phone... and someday even watch it... I was kind of hoping Tellme would support this, but I don't think they will.
It's cheap and it is the latest fad. Students get the piece of paper and they and don't have to interact with other warm bodies. Universities get a lot more profits even though they offer less.
I am scared that universities will get addicted to this easy and profitable way of doing business and soon it will be the norm, even though it cheats students.
Probably the best way to avoid this outcome is to
create elite vocational schools to siphon off the people who don't want to be in university in the first place, and keep them from tearing it down or watering it down.
In the end I'm afraid the only way to get an old style, hands on university education will be to pay $300,000 a year to Princeton. The rest of us will pay $5000 to sit in front of a computer in our mom's basement.
Some of you seem to want dedicated vocational schools. I'm ok with that. Other seem to want to change our HS and univeristy system to what the British system already has... highly specialized tracking from age 16 onwards. In England, if you are to be a computer programmer, you don't study much more than computers from age 16 onwards.
Careful for what you wish for, you might regret it at age 30. It might seem ideal to you, but those of us cross trained in the American system to write and think and who studied liberal arts electives might disagree. My colleagues in England (bless their heart) are brilliant minds in mathematics/computer science, but they can't write and they can't spell. Almost without exception.
And they don't know as much about as other subject areas. Sure they could study other subjects on their own, but since they weren't introduced to it when they were young, they don't seem to do so.
Some new file format would not help. The music must be remixed and resold to pull in the new channels.
If you had Abbey road in 6 channels, you'd still have to buy it again to get it in 24 channels in 10 years.
This article is silly.
The accused, Gertrude Walton, was found to have nearly every performance of Benny Goodman and his Orchestra downloaded to her iPod. "Intellectual property theft by the geriatric is a severe problem for the recording industry costing us millions of dollars a year and must be stopped", RIAA spokeswoman Hilary Rosen said.
The nursing home where Walton stayed has agreed to block all filesharing ports as part of an plea agreement with the RIAA.
Visual studio 5 used to let you do this. You gave it an address and a range and if any memory contents changed in that range a break would occur. This was extremely useful when you had an errant memory write elsewhere in the program such as writing off the end of a string, etc.
This is different than watching a variable because you can't watch most variables all the time, only when you are in their section of code.
I was very disappointed to find that Visual Studio 6 stopped supporting this. You could give it an address, but it figured out what symbol (variable) the address was associated with and ended up doing an ordinary variable watch on that (and when code was no longer in the class or code module, the watch was no longer looked at, as mentioned above)
Does anyone know if MS ever fixed this in later releases? (the last time I checked was back in 2000)

I'm very curios....

Did EFF mount a campanign against this?

Hopefully it will or I won't be able to switch.

I also notice that 2 or 3 people seem to have absorbed your misspelling into their posts.

Downloading is easy and without a ruinous penalty hanging over your head, could be very tempting.

Maybe the moment you install the keylogger the AV software won't know about it, but within a short time it will.
Chances are good that this teacher or the school IT department did not keep the systems up to date.
I've noticed that when I order stuff with Supersaver free shipping during a non-holiday period, the stuff arrives amazingly fast.
Considering that, I think you would have to order huge amounts of items per year for this to be worth it.
