Not if you are one of the IT department, I am really sure the closer thing to vacation you will get is a camping tent and sleeping bag where your traspassed server is.
Well, I have been suffering this since I was in the middle of undergraduate (I was something like 20 years old). Nowadays I am 23, First I feared it was appendicitis (during the first days i started to feel the disconfort).
Personally I have IBS-C (the constipation one), I have tried a lot of things, medication (Meveberine, pinaverium bromide) but do not like to take them for a lot of time and, they do not help 100%.
I also tried what another poster said, Peppermint Oil, again I think it kind of helped a bit and I also take this Fybogel fiber supplement.
I have also changed my diet a lot, you see I am from Mexico and as you may know there we use to eat a lot of chilly and spicy meat but I stop eating all that a long time ago, I usually also take poldrige for breakfast and dinner.
As you say, I also have had the scare of cancer, but after going to different doctors they all tell me it is IBS, and I have read a lot about that on the internet and also a lot of people tend to say it is a thing about anxiety and other psychological problems.
I am quite anxious and nervous so I think that may be. The thing I have been doing lately (just started like one week ago) is hypnotheraphy. I have been reading about it lately and it *seems* to help a lot. Personally I downloaded a bunch of mp3's from Emule (just search for 'ibs hypnosis'without the quotes ). And I will see how that works (it usually takes about a month or so they say).
But as you say, at the end it seems to be a *thing* we have to live with, I find that frustrating as It really interferes with the normal life, but in the other side it was because of IBS that I started going to the gym regularly, so as I read one page, IBS could make me/us healthier than the normal person because we are caring more for our body... who knows.
At the end, sometimes I would just want to have an operation and replace my bowel with a new one, hope those guys at Australia hurry up with their self organ growing cells (or whatever they are, it seemed a great finding for me).
The reason our rights are there and the reason these types of searches should be illegal is so we don't keep endlessly justifying bigger and bigger intrusions into our privacy to prevent/punish crime.
Don't want to be checked, dont go by plane... It is called a policy, if you do not like it just do not enter into the contract (i.e. do not buy the ticket).
No, the Airplane companies are not violating your rights nor doing anything illegal. You know very well what they are going to do prior to the ticket being sold.
You can go by bus or even better, go in your own car.
The new paradigm will is P2P computing where all the clients are servers and servers are clients so, each one of us will have a piece of all the information in an encripted and reduntand way (kind of freenet).
The applications will be run via web browser as you said but they will not relay in a bunch of centralized servers but in the whole structure of the network.
I was really attracted by the Wal-Mart vs Record Labels battle. I know that on average, Wal-Mart is considered bad, but in this case its practices could really make pressure for the Record Labels and make them decrease their prices.
A notable quote from a Best-Buy representative states: "The record industry needs to refine their business models, because the consumer is the ultimate arbitrator. And the consumer feels music isn't properly priced."
So it lets you see that in general people is pissed of with the actual prices.
An interesting piece of information is the "breakdown of the cost of a typical major-label release by the independent market-research firm Almighty Institute of Music Retail" which shows where the money goes for a new album with a list price of $15.99.:
Although the article is from October 2004, I found it really interesting. My question is, those extra $6 are the "Label oerhead" and "retail ovehread", can anybody tell me what exactly does that means? and if it could be reduced?.
Oh and the other is, is the "$0.17 Musicians' unions" piece of the pie the one that goes to the RIAA??
And all that makes me thing about a previous story on slashdot: Group Releases Album as Free Download. If these guys recieve $0.5 cents for each person that downloaded their CD, they will win more than if selling it through a music label!
The most important point for anyone using 'net apps" is 'where's the data?'
Ok, maybe for those kind of companies the idea of saving their data on GOOffice is a no no, but if you think about an open source Office solution that they can install and manage in their servers, that would be better.
In that way the IT department could install the AjaxOffice program and direct all their users to the intranet Office page. And it would be easier to manage the files, and the versions and the backups and everything the normal user dont do.
1. Book: You own the paper, the paste, the cover. You even own the ink !
2. Software: Yep, you own the CD, you own the 1.2 mm thick disc of polycarbonate plastic, the layer of Super Purity Aluminiumplastic, the protective film of lacquer. You even own the holes that make the "information".
What you do not own is in fact the program, the information in there as in the book you do not own the text that is written.
You're missing out. I found most of my current favourite music that way.
You bet it!, See, I am not really fond of this band music style (Alternative?), but I downloaded, am seeding and sharing via Emule. I am more a heavy,progressive metal guy.
After listening to the album I think I like the first song [wine women and song] as I liked the piano. So as the original thread poster said it is indeed a great marketing movement:). And, they gain also my gratitude because they are trying to bypass the corporate monsters that nowadays are screwing our society trying to create new rules and get rid of our constitutional rights.
Just a personal thought, If I have mod points, I prefer to give them to some user than to throw them to an AC... it is like throw them to the thrash (IMO).
Yep, I remember someone posting that it is the main reason why the NASA is still using some quite old programs, because they are fully tested and work, and they can not afford any kind of BSOD or Kernel Panic on some of its critical missions
Landing On the Subject, when do you Expect it will be Realized that the EULAS are taking out our basic statutory rights?
Re:how many people actually _like_ windows?
on
Pepping Up Windows
·
· Score: 1
And ont the other hand one thing I like about windows is like it is possible to use almost any GUI app with just the keyboard (using TABS), something Linux do not have.
And now that we are at it, please allow me this rant: I hate the way Ms Windows changed the presentation of the folders so when you open "my documents" you can not see the tree view, fortunately there is A BIG BUTTON called "FOLDERS" that lets you do that.
On Fedora Core (using Gnome's Nautius I think) when you open your documents you get a new window, with the same setup as in Windows, then if you click ona new folder, you get another new window (I HATE THAT), I tried to make the left tree view appear and, after a long navitagion trhough the menues I could not find any button or checkbox that when selected made the tree appear.
I managed to do it after pressing all of my keyboards keys, because I remembered somehow in KDE presing F9 or something made the same tree appear but, that for me is a crappy behaviour.
thank you... you can mod my purely own opinion COMMENT down linux fanboys.
And finally, the public is often so misinformed, easily manipulated, and easily swayed by persuasive (but fallacious) arguments..
There is plenty of people that knows that they are getting screwed, the problem srtrives in the subtle point that it is not "Common Knowledge" so people do not KNOW for sure that there is other people in the similar situation and that these people KNOWS the same.
But, I think the MAFIAA is helping on that, why do you think that people is starting to fight?, well because they know there is other people with the same problem and that they are fighting, read a bit of the book "Rational Ritual" by Michael Suk-Young Chwe, it is quite interesting.
But then, doesn't that mean they're committing the same crime as they are charging the person with?
1. No, downloading is not illegal, Sharing it is. 2. Anyway the RIAA (or Elektra or Sony or whoever is there) OWNS the actual copyright of the intellectual art, so they could do whatever they want to it.
And please stop calling it stealing. File sharers are infringing a law but, it is not the "do not steal" one.

Well, if it is not, at least, it sounds cool
I would love to see a similar discovery for the IBS.
How much is can someone pay for a cure of something that can not be cured?

About your sig...
you know it is 42 dont you?
Nope, you are wrong:
1. Book: You own the paper, the paste, the cover. You even own the ink !
2. Software: Yep, you own the CD, you own the 1.2 mm thick disc of polycarbonate plastic, the layer of Super Purity Aluminiumplastic, the protective film of lacquer. You even own the holes that make the "information".
What you do not own is in fact the program, the information in there as in the book you do not own the text that is written.
You see the difference now?
You're missing out. I found most of my current favourite music that way.

For anyone who want to know, I am sharing the OGG version via Emule... because I can not seed via bittorrent as I am behind my university NAT.

unfortunately it's not possible at the moment due to bandwidth limits,
They should then use one of the many P2P distribution network protocols available at the moment. That is why they are there!

DirectX API
Nice, and now can you tell me how

"always open in browser windows"
is in some way similar to
"show the file system tree" or something?
It is like the MS Office "Configure Page" option under the "File" Menu (instead of the Format/Page that in this case OpenOffice got right
Who the heck design those menues anyway?
