It was a tiny place, about 120 pupils. The building was probably built in then 1930s, but I imagine they repainted it every couple of years while it was a school. Kids can be pretty messy.
True fact:
When I was at school, the walls were painted "bright spark yellow". According to our teacher, studies had been done and it was found that this particular colour made people think more productively. He had entire studies to give us and everything, being 11 I'm not quite sure what we did with them.
The EU will give funding and tax breaks to large inward investment. Computer chip designing is a huge added value system (cheapish raw materials/chip) so it produces a large benefit for the EU. You'll find the same going on in most countries.
For us (a small business) we use VoIP for telecommuting, I feel that's where the real strength is at the moment. Of course, if you're a larger business (100+ employees) in the middle of a city I think it becomes economical to get a dedicated line which should be very reliable.
You can create a playlist that the shuffle updates from.
In my case, I have a smart playlist that has all my heavy metal, rock, alternative, punk and jazz in (the stuff I like). I'd have shuffle update just from that. I also have smart playlists with just the heavy metal, just the jazz, just the punk etc.
The magic in my case is either done through filtering through artist or filtering by genre.
"The telling thing is -- for me, at least -- if the film is not playing at the Chinese... I have zero desire to see it at all," a fan who calls himself Obi Geewhyen posted on the message board at Liningup.net. "I'm in it for the lineup only and don't give a darn about the conclusion of this lackluster, so-called 'Star Wars' series."
Not only does he have a bit of a geeky tag, the reason he's waiting isn't to see the films but, well, to wait.
So, now what? Well, you'll no doubt tell me that we have the freedom to switch to Linux, but how free is it? Neither Dell nor the other PC manufacturers will sell me a computer with an empty hard drive at the same price as the bundled version, let alone cheaper.
Yes they will. We recently bought a few Dell machines and seeing as I already have my own OEM XP licenses I asked them to remove XP from the hard drive and they obliged, and deducted £40/machine or something from the invoice.
They just didn't actually buy the software, just waved some money at somebody who let them use it.
The state argued that Dynac had been modified as part of the project and had thus become a customized piece of software not subject to the legal safeguards for off-the-shelf applications.
Bt of a dodgy arguement though...
LightScribe blanks will cost more than ordinary discs, but Verbatim says the difference will be less than the price of a sticky label and the ink needed to print on it. But anyone wanting to use the new system will need to buy a LightScribe drive, and that will cost around $200.
Says the New Scientist article linked to above. So I'd guesstimate that it would be around 50 cents per disk...
Something like a moderated BugZilla. People submit their bugs/holes, and they go to a list which only trusted people can see.
I think there are more people out there willing to see a security advisory and use that to create malicious code (if only to test it out, trick people etc.) than those who see an unsolved security advisory and work on patching code. I don't really want the general public seeing what holes I have on my machine, as that's what it comes down to really.
Dude, my mum said "I saw those mac minis today" on Tuesday afternoon, following with "I think we could do with a new desktop." She's never used the one we got 4 years ago!
I've been looking at deploying a similar system in an office I work with. As far as I can see, the main advantage is thus:
I can take calls in, on a London number, have them handled by someone in the office, who puts them through to someone just like she normally does and they go to that employee at home. Provided he/she has broadband at home, no extra cost. Brilliant. It's not going to cost us $6000 to implement, more like $300/phone and $500 for the server, we don't need a system of the scale demonstrated, and should make the money back.
Not to mention, pretty cool!
Excuse me? Yes, that is online, but the speech still wasn't webcasted, that's not a live stream is it?
Several sites had coverage, but Apple gave them permission and it was text only, with a few pictures, they weren't broadcasting a video.
As for the satellite broadcast, I wasn't aware of that, could you give any more information (who filmed it, relayed it, who it was for etc.)
The only distribution I was aware of was to a couple of Apple stores worldwide.
Perhaps a geographic problem? I'm in London, UK, with a 512Kbps down connection so I doubt my connection was to blame. Probably something to do with the worldwide loading/mirroring system straining under the load. I assure you that I couldn't get on www.apple.com and neither could two other people I checked with in the UK at the time.

If you're a *nix user, think really cool chroot jail.

It's all so shiny. In true geek fashion I got to the first glittery photo and can no longer scroll down.

Are you Amazon?
609 kroner (currency) per hour? Are you (rusk)?
I have no idea what rusk means, it's a norwegian folk band though...
How many Freudians does it take to change a lightbulb?
Two! One to replace the bulb, the other to hold the penis.
No more jokes about Freudian Strips I'm afraid.
Looks like a huge Boston based highway construction project.

As long as their spending their money on beaming adverts into space and not into my inbox, I'm happy.

Turns out my guess of 50 cents was way out, for the time being at least.

No, I'll be getting in ISDN to provide our connection to the telecoms network, through Pipex. * will be our PBX as well.

The speech wasn't webcasted this time around. Apple also prevented attendees from broadcasting from inside the centre.
