The number of pieces of media, excluding films, that come in DVD format is tiny.
You might want to take a look something called the "video game console" market. The most recent home system devices (read: the last 5 years) release a significant portion of their games on DVD. As a multi-billion dollar business, it could be something worth investigating.
Care to explain how the CATV input on your TV Tuner PCI card is different from the CATV input on a regular TV? The digital to analog conversion happens before it hits the CATV input.
Crazy. As an engineer as well, where I work we have a process called "Peer Reviews" that take place with other engineers. I don't know anyone in the area I work that has any sort of degree in tech writing, but I know during reviews that any errors are caught. It's also expected that we create quality documents that are checked over for common mistakes prior to the review. We don't have special tech writers; we just create well written documents from the start. Sounds like an inefficient process to me, maybe you should schedule a meeting with the Bobs.
in terms of accomplishments and success I tihkn I've blowen away my peers inspite of all those teachers who wrote me off as a failure.
From what it sounds like, you wrote yourself off as a failure by blowing off your own education. If you had paid attention during your education, would you not have accomplished as much as you have now? Are you continuing to prove my point that without a proper education, one may be unable to properly communicate their ideas with others? I fail to see how poor spelling and grammar equates to more freedom and innovative thinking. Innovation and freedom are not produced through apathy towards the English language.
I think you disprove your own argument by making so many grammatical and spelling errors. Not to flame, but one of the major educational values pushed during my time at college was solid communication skills. So yes, education level is very important. Without it, you would have a very difficult time expressing your "independent thinking".
Gonna have to disagree with you there. While Windows has security issue, it still comes down to human error. Windows is more of a matter of taking preventative measures making sure everythings updated, not opening suspicious emails, not installing random software off the web, not disabling security measures, etc. All of it comes back to human error. Don't be a moran (not you, just in general), and your copy of Windows won't become a weak security link.
I'm thinking by "active" switches the GP may be referring to multi-layer switches, which provide routing and other services at the network and transport layer. Probably not, but one can be hopeful.
Planetside is considered a MMOFPS. And yes, I'm citing Wiki to tick off the posters above. Wiki has good information to be taken lightly, and not as an official source.
You're probably right. I don't post a whole lot, but I do read pretty much all of the stories and their comments. I also meta-moderate whenever it pops up. As such, I get mod points probably 3 times every 2 weeks. Theory could be that if you're posting a lot, you'd have to stop posting to mod./shrugs
Care to explain anything that you're talking about? Not saying you're wrong, but supporting evidence usually helps out an argument.
What I described was a situation, where if anything shows that the document has changed since it was sent off for approval, bad things would come of it. If I load a document up and accidentally hit the enter key and the document saves automatically, that means I'm in trouble.
Again, please explain how my theory is flawed, or how a "working" Auto-Save might act. Just saying "You're wrong" isn't going to sway my judgment.
May I ask what program you are using that saves every keystroke you make the second you enter it? It gets stored into RAM, yes, but not to the hard drive. The "Autosave" feature of a lot of programs merely write the contents to a temp file, not overwriting the original.
As far as programs disabling the save button if no changes have been made; I too am a compulsive saver, and the fact that the program doesn't do anything gives me a warm fuzzy that everything I've changed made it into the save.
Every day I work with word docs that are 30+ megs in size. All of our saving is done on network shares across a WAN link. Depending on network traffic, a normal save can stall the system for a quite a bit. Something tells me that if a few hundred engineers were constantly sending save data across that link, things wouldn't be looking so good. So, it is still very much a hit to system resources.
Also, as far as the auto save feature goes, I don't want it to. Ever opened a MS Office file (doc, ppt, xls, etc), go to close it without touching a single thing, and it asks you to save? Not to mention that when you work with baselined documents, if they ever change it has to be sent off for approval, resubmitted to higher ups, etc. If the modified date shows anything other than the baselined date, ruh roh. No thanks on the auto save.
Where I work (defense contractor), the emphasis is more that they don't want sensitive data stolen when you leave your ipod you used at work earlier that day in your friends car. USB sticks are fine to have, as long as it's approved by security (not too difficult). We're given memory sticks that use biometrics to use if the memory stick is going to leave the building. Regular storage mediums just aren't secure enough. Granted that goes for employees...if a visitor were to bring in something with a memory card, that's a whole different story. That they take quite a bit more seriously.
I don't know if I'm reading your post wrong...but I just went to MSN, middle-clicked about a dozen links from different parts of the msn.com site, and they all loaded into a tab fine with no change to the current tab. Might want to check your tabbed browser settings, or update Firefox...1.5 works fine on MSN.
from learning anything else. How do you learn to use new things in general? Apply the same methods to networking. Try and do stuff. Setup static IPs, set up static routes, if it's a wireless network at all, play with different channels, security types, etc. If you can set up a BSD firewall (properly), you probably don't need to learn much more with a 2 person network besides how to use ethereal properly. If you want to learn actual networking, ebaying for a couple of routers/switches and making your own little lab is a real good way to go. Get a few quad port network cards and setup 'em up on different vlans to play with routing.
Also, what are some reference materials that you have found to be educational with relation to network administration?"
CiscoPress books if you want to learn too much. I've got about 10 of 'em...they helped me pass the cisco certs, and I learned a load about everything with networks. However, as soon as I graduated I got into something completely different than networking, so I don't know how well they'll actually help ya with a real network. They are nicely done though.
The question is what have they made that's "innovative".
Would their Virtual Wifi count as "innovative" to you? Their site seems to be/.'d a little, but that's one thing that comes to mind. Like the GP suggested, browse through their site some time.
While I don't have any experience with the consoles, as a kid who grew up on educational games for the PC, I'd like to think it worked out pretty well =) Load 'em up with old classics like Number Munchers, Where in the US/World/Time/Hell is Carmen Sandiego, Oregon Trail...they'll learn a ton. And if they're geeky enough like i was in elementary school, they'll get an award for the "Number Muncher King" in front of the whole school.
On second thought, make sure you limit the amount of time they spend with those games...
The fact that he doesn't have to pay taxes isn't the issue. It's the fact that if you live & telecommute in one state, but work for a company in another other state you have to pay both states taxes when you telecommute. For instance, I live on the border in Wisconsin, yet work in St. Paul, Minnesota. I telecommute occasionaly, and I don't want to have to pay taxes to both states for those times when I don't go into the office. That is the issue at hand.

My guess is that:

I don't own an English dictionary either, but rumor has it there are a few floating around on the Internet for those willing to dig deep enough.
Open a dictionary and find out? According to Wiki it's in the Oxford English dictionary...
Yes, indeed, why create more words? There are already too many words out there! Less words would be doubleplusgood!

Aye, Minnesota and Wisconsin have this in effect to. It's a good deal.
The fact that he doesn't have to pay taxes isn't the issue.
