MIS is great! I get paid like a CS major and I don't even have to write code! In fact I write so little code that I spend all my time reading/.
Funny thing is that I went to school to learn to make crappy webpages then ended up in database systems. Haven't "professionally" worked on a website for my entire career.
What can I say, the degree gets you in the door, but your brain power gets you paid.
iRiver delivers another great product. The features on this thing are awsome. The design, quite futuristic. The price, well...but it does do video.
I've always felt that iRiver really knew how to make a great product. I've got one of their SlimX CD players and was troughly impressed with the ability to upgrade the firmware and the number of options that I had when it came to keeping the device powered (rechargable, alkalines, and good old wall socket.)
The only drawback to their products is the amount of plastic. The iPod is a good example of case design. They are almost completely closed. iRiver products just don't seem as hardy.
Anyone else feel the same or am I just being a Troll?
They didn't tell you about the foil hat that you'll have to wear at all times to get reception.
At least now I'll be able to justify the one that I wear at the office all the time.
Seriously, having working in the IT sector of water treatment (yes there is one), I can say that, at least in Southern California, the water from the tertiary plants are cleaner than from your tap.
At one particular tertiary plant wastewater is dumped in basins, allowed to filter through the ground, then extracted via well pumps. The water is then run through one of the largest UV light arrays that I've ever seen. Impressive.
I maintain that MP3 is still the standard, it may be the only format that every media player will work with.
I think what we are likely to see is that as the average non-technical music lover buys an ACC or WMA device he/she will use the software that came with said device to expand their digial library.
With the proliferation of the iPod the ACC format will become a larger part of the digial music scene (as will the Dell/WMA) and MP3s will reduce in percentage.
As long as these format silos (or camps) exist MP3 will continue on. The fate of the MP3 may be in the hands of the device manufacturers. As soon as they universally support some other format MP3 may very well die, but until then I'm going to keep encoding to MP3.
So Guido wants to take out a "business associate" and make it look like an "accident." He hires Johny "Black Hat" to write a little backdoor hack and boom, the Don goes high tech.
This scenario has some interesting implications for commiting technology based homicide.
Lets hope MS gets serious about security with this one.

If we are truely following God's way, then ban abortion AND fertility drugs. Let God really decide who has a child and who doesn't. Hypocrites!!!!!
I think that the Californicators acutally voted $3 billion to stem cell research. You can take that one off your list.
Didn't he mean new internets?

Heck yeah! Just plug in that Prism based WiFi nic (DLink DWL-133) and you're in business.
America is going to have to expect to pay more for goods and services, just like the rest of the world.
Our exploitation can only last so long before we run out of countries to exploit.
Ugggh!

Done right reclaimed water is viable.
