It's time that all large campuses configured their systems hibernate automatically, if left unused for 30 minutes.
Really, there is no reason NOT to use the power management settings built into the OS.
Tne one reason I don't hibernate my work machine is that occasionally, I may have to remote desktop to it from home. If I hibernate the work m/c & I had to Remote Desktop from home for something urgent, is there any way to do it?
Why should the Govt be laying down rules about analog & digital broadcasting? What next - govt mandating that photographic shops should stop developing analog pictures & accept only customers with a digital camera?
MS shareholders need to do something about the state of that company, otherwise they're just going to continue to piss money away and eventually find themselves just like IBM in the early 90's.
Well, most of MSFT shareholders don't take their cues from Linux Weenies & Mac Fanbois bitching about Vista on Slashdot. Check how MSFT stock has done in the last year.
To be sure, when corporate cell-phone use is counted, overall U.S. spending surpassed land line spending several years ago, analysts said
What about when corporate landline use is counted? I would think corporate land-line would be far more than corporate cell use. Also think about the number of international & interstate conference calls happening through land lines.
My guess is that this PC Magazine guy is running some piece of software that's causing his system to go nuts. I have done this myself in the past. After a few crashes, I looked at the kernel log and it was a 3rd-partybeta mouse driver I had installed. I got rid of it and my system was golden.
Wonder why this similiar excuse isn't good enough for Windows BSOD which are mostly caused by 3rd party drivers.
Before Leopard crashed, it managed to click on the submit button for you, but unfortunately couldn't type the 'h' before clicking the submit button. Maybe Cougar (or whatever is the next release) will fix that.
This is because after years of consistent overeating, your body begins to believe that elevated levels of blood sugar is "normal" and there is no need to produce more insulin.
This isn't true. There are 2 components to type 2 diabetes 1) Insulin Resistance - Body isn't able to use the insulin produced efficiently. 2) Insulin Production - Body isn't able to produce enough insulin.
Here is the typical progression of type 2 diabetes.
For a normal person, when he eats carbohydrates, his blood sugar goes up. In response, the pancreas produces insulin. The insulin pushes the blood sugar into the cells & the blood sugar goes down.
When a person has insulin resistance, his pancreas produces insulin, but this insulin isn't used efficiently. The insulin isn't able to push all the sugar into the cells. Hence the blood sugar level doesn't go down immediatelly. Hence all the body parts are soaked in sugar which is harmful to the organs. The pancreas is also an organ. The pancreas is soaked in sugar. This causes insulin producing cells in the pancreas to die. This is a cyclic process i.e. because some insulin producing cells die, the pancreases produces less insulin - this in turn causes blood sugar to rise even more, which in turn causes more damage to the pancreas. This process keeps continuing & finally when the pancreas has lost more than 50% of it's insulin producing cells, blood sugar starts going out of control & he gets diabetes.
Typically, people who get type 2 diabetes are people who have the gene for Insulin Resistance.
There are many people how much ever they eat, they don't get diabetes, or they get it at a very advance age. Excess weight increases Insulin Resistance, but is not the the cause of it.
A person with IR can delay or avoid diabetes for a long time by eating less, but eating alone isn't the cause of type 2 diabetes.
Will people stop saying that diabetes is caused by consuming too much sugar?
As a developer and student, I consume eight liters of Mountain Dew a day and I have no diabetes problems.
If you don't have the diabetes gene, sugar won't cause diabetes. But if you do have the diabetes gene, then consuming a lot of refined carbohydrates combined with Insulin Resistance will push you to diabetes much faster. Sugar is one type of refined carbs.
To give an example, if you have insulin resistance but are on a moderate carb diet, then it may take you a long time (10-15 years) to become diet. OTOH, with insulin resistance, if you are on a high carb diet especially with a lot of refined carbs, you will get diabetic in 3-5 years.
It's disingenuous, because we all know that any handset is as open as the network allows. Which is to say, not very. If a handset manufacturer won't agree to their capricious whims, they just won't carry it. Insta-death for Mr Phone.
Huh!!! if it's a GSM phone, then the network provider can't do anything to disallow the phone on their network. You buy a new GSM phone from a phone retailer, remove the SIM card from your existing phone & insert it into the new phone. Voila - you are ready to go. Also, all the US GSM carriers, sell you a connection without celling you a phone. I have gone for T-Mobile & Cingular SIM cards without buying a phone from them.
The problem is, though, if they are not looked upon by their content partners as working very hard to protect their content, then there will not be anything to put on that hardware
Huh! Anyone can insert a SIM card into an unlocked phone. So why should there be nothing to put on hardware?
And think of all the other ways iPhone is unique: you get to walk out of the store with it sealed in a box, it can be easily bought as a gift, the customer does activation themselves in the comfort of their own homes with a pleasant interface, and so on.
How stupid is this? If you buy an unlocked phone, you just take the SIM card from your old phone & insert it & you are good to go.

Yes. I have done this in the US also. I have purchased both post-paid & pre-paid SIM cards from T-Mobile (don't know if they have changed their name now) & also from Cingular (which was then bought over by AT&T).

Down, the line when Vienna is released, lot of people
will write that Microsoft should ditch Vienna & stick
