Must be nice. I paid 10x that for my private uni and I'm not sure it was worth the extra $$$. What I use at work, to this day, a decade later, is still mostly self taught.
Go drive a Pontiac G8 or a 2009 Cadilac CTS. Ever driven a Corvette? Even the 2009 Impala is a pretty nice car. My buddy's mid 90's Pontiac Bonnevile got about 180,000 miles on it with no major work when he finally junked it. My 91 Grand Am wasn't a great car, but it was good enough for the price and got the job done without too much hassle. My father has an 84 Corvette. It's not the best Corvette ever made, but it's still a great ride.
Not all GM cars are bad. Some are really bad, yes, but GM has made good cars and will make more good cars in the future. We just need to prod them enough so that ALL their cars are good.
I've been looking in Google Maps for this mythical "My Location" feature and I can't seem to find it. What am I doing wrong? I've got my default location setup, but I'm pretty sure that's not what they referring to.
He came to my university my freshman year where he was supposed to give an hour long speech about censorship. Instead, he gave an hour long speech about how awesome he was and all these cool awards he earned throughout his life.
Honestly, I don't care how great his books are, he's an idiot.
You know what, a doctor makes more than enough money that he can afford a second phone dedicated to work and does not and should not be using his home phone.
FYI, I had no luck trying to download this using Firefox on my Mac. I had to boot up my VMWare Windows instance and start the download using IE 7.0. The download forces you to install a new download manager ActiveX control.
Watching TV. In the middle of a program. PC locks up, I'm going to miss the climax!
Reboot PC.
10 minutes later you resume watching, but it's too late, the show is over.
That SUCKS! And trust me, it doesn't matter how careful you are picking out your hardware, or configuring your software. That WILL happen, the software stack just isn't reliable enough to avoid problems like this.
Well, look at it the other way, non-threaded programs are easier to write and are thus typically more robust and reliable. I'd love it if Firefox fixed some of the concurrency issues myself, but I'd prefer they make it a more stable/reliable browser first (and that appears to be the direction they are going in, so good for them).
I've been using Vista as my primary at work for the last three months and I am ready to switch back. It's terrible, it's slow, it's ugly, it's annoying, and it offers nothing of value over XP right now. Oh sure, maybe in a year or two when they fix all the bugs and get some software out there that will only run on Vista it may be worthwhile, but right now it's a joke, and my computer (a brand new MacBook Pro) is more than capable.
On the other hand, I think the UI re-work of Office is fantastic. Outlook sucks, as usual but that has nothing to do with the UI. Word and Excel are MUCH better than they used to be. I find them easier to use, I find it easier to find what I'm looking for, and the immediate visual feedback on many of the UI elements really helps me get the look I want quicker.
>An organism, particularly a mammal, is far more than its own DNA. Humans have 10 times as many bacterial cells in our bodies as human cells. Dolphins are no different. A baby dolphin no doubt gets cultures of all sorts of bacteria from its mother's milk. Unique symbiotic organisms live on the skin, in the gut, even in the blood in some animals.
I've heard this claim before. 10x times a pretty hard number to swallow without some real proof. Where's the study? Where's your source? I've never seen any actual PROOF of this claim. I'd like to.
What I want is something that I can use as a MythTV frontend (or something similar), that is small, looks cool, uses very little power, is capable of playing HD video streams, and most importantly IS 100% passively cooled!
I have yet to find anything that meets those requirements. Sure, a few things like the Mac Mini come close, but I want something that does not make any noise at all. I've already got a super quiet mini-atx PC that hardly makes a sound at all and is buried inside a cabinet and it STILL drives me crazy.
>This has nothing to do with the GPS being 'off by a bit' - to direct someone down an unmarked dirt road takes a little more than that.
I have to agree with you. I spent two years working on software for the shipping industry (lots of TSP and VRP type stuff). The roads are CLEARLY marked by class in the source data. If your software is giving these kinds of answers, then either your source data is wrong (shame on TeleAtlas, shame on Navteq) or your software is wrong (shame on you).
I go to the demos page and click on a link and my browser (Firefox 2.0 on OS X/Intel) tries to download a file with a.jnlp extension. I don't particularly know what that file is, nor do I particularly care. I see no instructions on that page how to resolve this. I get no indication what I have to do with my browser to see these demos. How is my Mother supposed to do this?
Honestly, if this is how well this works, Sun STILL has their head up their collective asses when it comes to Java on the web. At least when I try to open a flash based web site and flash isn't installed I get redirected to a page that tells me how to install flash or that my OS isn't supported.
That's also funny. Given that this is the primary database server for my employer. Who would've thought you'd want to build a business around Debian and Postgres? We must be doing something wrong, because it's working out very well for us and we don't need to pay for support.
Anyway, where does Oracle come into the picture? The original poster was talking about Debian, HP and VMWare. I see no mention of Oracle anywhere.

Yes, because we all know everybody has a cow in their back yard and a generator in their basement.
Things change. Computing will become more utility like. Adapt or die.

Who wants to fiddle with lirc? I just want my shit to work. I'm sick of fiddling. I've got better things to do with my time.
I have that case. That is an awesome case.
Thanks everybody. That little icon is so not intuitive. I never even saw it until you guys pointed it out.

SHE SHOULD GET A SECOND PHONE!!
Better yet, she can even have return calls ROUTED TO HER OFFICE!
Why is this concept so difficult to understand??

I would've preferred a torrent...

Is it too much to ask for even a basic explanation of what these products are and what they do?
Do what I do.
4x500GB Raid 1+0 then rsync occasionally to one external USB 1GB drive.
Keep external USB drive offsite if you're extra paranoid (friends house, parents house, trunk of car, whatever works for you).

Or you can use slony, create a cluster, and once the databases are synced up change your master node to the new database.
Well, I completely disagree with you.

Oh really?
java -version
java version "1.5.0_07"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.5.0_07-164)

My point is still valid.
