The problem is in Fedora, not Cups. Cups works just fine, and more or less like he wants it to, if that is all you ever use. Fedora, using whatever configuration system it uses placed some unuseable stuff there.
Granted Cups could use a lot of help, but he wasn't using a Cups configurator, he was using some other configurator that can work with not only Cups, but also SMB, LPR, and a bunch of other stuff. I don't know the solution, but bashing the Cups guys won't get you any closer to it.
Dynamic configuration COULD be designed. Every router acting in its own best interest, reassigning ips on the fly as networks come and go...
Much easier to suggest than implement. Worse on a public internet where you have to deal with script kiddies who will declare their own networks of several billion computers from time to time just to mess everyone else up.
Search the Fine Web in other words. (Many crude people will substitute other words for fine) This has been covered on ask slashdot before. There are other blind people out there, and they have got around various problems.
Check out How To Ask Questions The Smart Way and follow the instructions. Until you prove you have done some legwork yourself I don't see why I should care. Oh, and once you have done the leg work you questions can actually be of interest and perhaps help us improve. IE, if you install and watch your dad using some accessability thing you can tell us what doesn't work so we can fix it. Or once you have done the obvious things that your work revealed you can tell us what you have done (so we don't go over that ground), and ask about situations that are not covered.
The problem is cancer is mostly passed on before it manifests itself. That is in most cases someone prone to cancer will have passed their genes on before they get it. Yes some young people, get cancer, but the large majority get it after "breeding age"
Note that I'm only talking about the genetic parts of cancer, there are a lot of other factors that are controlable. (smoking is the obvious example)
Perhaps many people would insist on using FP dollars and cents, but those people are fools, and it is very easy to part them with their money. Just make sure all the rounding errors work out in your favor, which isn't hard if you have access to their accounts.
Yeah I know that for small numbers FP has no rounding errors, but that doesn't last long.
Cancer is mostly an old person's disease. If nothing else gets you before you get old, you die of cancer. (stroke and heart attack of the other big ones that I can think of). Very few people of "breeding age" get cancer. The rest are no longer contributers to the gene pool (Viagra aside, and then only for men who can get a younger girl) in any way so eliminating their genes gains the future nothing.
It isn't technology, it is people. I've had stress while working at McDonald's flipping burgers. Late at night, down to 3 people and a bus comes, and suddenly I'm trying to do as much work as normally takes 5. Latter on in life my Boss can barely keep the other managers from pounding on my cube "door" asking when I'll be done with some critical thing, but I felt no stress.
The difference is me, not technology. I've learned that I don't have to feel stress, and I work better when I don't let it bother me.
Your hypothesis needs to be proven, and I believe it is false. There is a paper in there, if you do your research right. So long as you assume the hypothesis you will write just another academic paper that isn't worth the roll you print it on. (and I hope you have the sense to print it on the roll)
Block p2p apps by default, but anyone who asks can have those ports unblocked. However, they must sign a form that says they will only share files they have legal rights to share, and understand that RIAA/whatever may from time to time scan for files they own, your name will be given to those groups upon request. Also make sure you demand they limit the bandwidth they use at the same time.
You can't really stop P2P, but this way you have done something.
Check with the lawyers before doing anything though, a mistake in handeling this situation can be far worse than ignoring it.
Get a dog to guard your gear. Cats are scared of dogs.
Please explain to my cat why it isn't a good idea to attack a dog 10 times your size. He doesn't get it.
The idea that cats are scared of dogs is overrated, they get along just fine when introduced correctly. My dog cannot walk down the hall without the cat chasing after. My dog cannot sleep at my feet without the cat running across the room, jumping on the couch, springing off the end, and doing a backflip onto the dog's head. Funny to watch the two of them, but it makes it hard to get any reading done.
That a newspaper in London makes a point of showing topless women proves the point that Europe is concerned about such things. Sex sells in Europe just as much in the US, because the overall aditude isn't any different. Hwoever in Europe it is allowed to show breasts publiclly, while in the US it is not. If Europe had the "healthy" aditude they claimed to have it wouldn't be worth anyones bother.
really? Been a long time since I've seen a laptop PC without a mouse. Come to think of it, the only laptop PC I've seen without a mouse (type device) really was a laptop, and not a notebook, which is technically the proper term for what everyone calls a laptop today. (Those old laptops weren't worth much... 286, blue LCD. Dos only)
Of course if you really want to be that technical I've never seen a notebook with a mouse. Trackballs, trackpads, and trackpoints are/were common, but no actual mice.
The ATMs I use have instructions in braille. I presume they tell the blind person what is going on at it each so the blind person would just have to insert card, and then follow the instructions, ignoring whatever is on the screen.
The drive-up think is a joke. Sure they place those machines so that you can easily use them from a car, but I've walked up to them, and they work just fine in that mode. (The window on my car doesn't work so I have to get out to use them)
More recently headphone jacks have started appearing on ATMs.
Most blind people have a little sight, but what that means varies from person to person. Nearly all can see the sun. Some can pick up a dropped bus ticket. Others... Too hard to say, but it isn't quite as hard as you might think for most blind people to use an ATM.
Depends on what the warrent says. However I doubt the warrent gives the FBI the right to completely shutdown all the other customers of this ISP. More likely just the right to equipment of the one customer in question.
I personally never knew my local emergency numbers, nor did my parents. I can think of one neighbor who might have memorized it, but his kid serious problems. The rest of the neighbors didn't know the number, and I was in enough of their houses to be pretty sure they didn't have it by the phone. (The phone in most cases as the phone company still rented the phones) If you needed help you went to the phone book (normally near the phone) and looked it up.
Note that in the case of the one neighbor who might have known the emergency number, that was only the number for the ambulance, not police or fire which were different.
What do I want in my inbox? I get a few dozen "job opportunities" a day. I'm unemployed right now, yet I've still learned to dump the majority of those without looking at them. Sometime their might be a legitimate opening in one of them and I will dump it. Making me less than 100% accurate, because I deleted an email that I didn't want.
Filters at least get most of the spam I get. (In fact most of those opportunities are things I signed up for not realizing they were not only bogus, but also gave no [obvious] way to get off their list) Back when I got 100+ a day I went through my inbox with the big delete button. Most than once I hit delete, yes I'm sure..., then looked up and watched something I think I wanted disappear. However when you have 110 new emails and 100 are spam, I don't have the patience to go through and read them all.
I had the same question at first, but I think I got it figured out. It isn't the drilling that does anything, it is the remains from drilling. Everyone throws the waste (what was in the hold) in one direction. f=mv, they just fling parts of the asteroid off into space in a predetermined direction. This give two results, first it slightly changes the trajectory of the asteroid, and second it gets right of some mass that would need to burn up on entry to the earth's atmosphere.
And you don't get much of a say in who goes on that list.
Sure you can choose. In MN your chance in March 2nd, also called super tuesday where people in 10 different states all at once get a chance go choose who goes on the ballot.
Of course you have to belong to a political party in order to have a choice, but if you don't want to belong to a party why would the party want you to have a say in who they put on the ballot. Get your own party, or just go out and get on the ballot yourself. (If you can't get enough signatures to get on the ballot in an afternoon in a local city you aren't trying)
The greatest tradgity is that people have been convinced that a vote for a third party is a wasted vote. Don't fall for it.
Poverty(from kdict):
1. The quality or state of being poor or indigent; want or
scarcity of means of subsistence; indigence; need.
2. Any deficiency of elements or resources that are needed or
desired, or that constitute richness; as, poverty of soil;
poverty of the blood; poverty of ideas.
(from a different source)
n : the state of having little or no money and few or no
material possessions
I've looked at other sources, and they say essentially the same thing.
If you look around you don't see that. Okay, maybe definition 2 applies if you use the desired part. I see a lot of people without plenty of money. They have enough to get by though, failing all the other parts of the above definition.
To say 27 million live in poverty is a emotional statement that doesn't fit with the above definitions. At least not in the US where the poor have TVs, food on the table 3 times a day (in most cases including meat, an expensive luxury in most cultures), and a warm bed at night.
Sure poverty is relative, but if you want to go down that road you better be willing to compare children in the poor areas of Africa.
Definitions 1 and 2 above are from Webster's Revides Unabridged Dictionary (1913). The next from WordNet. Rights are reserved by various owners.
Simple Math: about 300 million people in the US total. (280 or 297 or something as of the last census) 27 is about 30. Now divide that out: 1 in 10 people in the US is a child living in poverty. For the sake of ease in math lets assume that the current life expectancy is 80 (it is about 76 last I checked) and define child as anyone 20 or less (close enough to 18). Which means 1 in 4 people in the US is a child. Combine that with 1 in 10, and that means half the children in the US are living in poverty! (Yes I rounded, but there is a spike in the US population of the baby boomer years, so rounding down to 1/2 makes more sense than up 1/3 in this case)
In short: I don't believe your numbers. They just don't fit in with the US I know.
Sure, make me add search terms for things I don't care about. I'm thinking about a new computer. I don't care if Asus or Abit makes it, and I don't care if it has an AMD or VIA processor. At least I don't care YET. Once I read some reviews that compare various motherboards and CPU combonations I'll know enough to know what to care about.
If I had a fancy P4 CPU sitting on my desk I'd care about P4 motherboards. I don't have that situation though. Instead I have a pile of money[1] and a desire for a faster system. Since my current system is approaching 7 years old I know that reliability counts so I want a review that gives me a good idea what system is a good value considering lifetime, and power.
[1] Hypotheticly, I'm unemployed so I don't actually have money.
I've concluded that some companies advertise job openings so that they can point out to investers and customers that they are growing. Don't worry about buying from us, we are doing just fine even in this downturn. See, we even have openings.
Instead of trying to fool the scanner, fool the database. Doesn't matter how good their scanner is, if they match my iris to John Doe of Iowa, and my id matches. The people you get a fake id from can do this. (that is those that get you a fake id where data is entered into the system, a fake id that isn't in the system won't have this)
If you read closely, 12 months is typical, but research suggests it takes much longer.
I had blue eyes up until my late teens, when the sent first grey, and eventally settled into green. This appears to be genetic, other family members have had similar changes, though most didn't wait quite as long.
Yeah, all the eye tests I've had in the last few years have started with the machine. I'm told that some places just use the machine, but I've never seen one and I wouldn't go to one.
I go to the eye doctor to have my eyes checked. This is more than just get the correct glasses. The doctor needs to look in my eye and make sure that all the pieces are still in place.
I've heard of several different problems that need to be checked for once in a while. They all have complex medical names that I haven't a hope of spelling. See your eye doctor regularly and make sure that if you get one of them, it is corrected early.
You don't care, but hardware designers do. The less chips they have to put on a board, the smaller that board is. Since Centrino is aimed at laptops space is important.
And of course the less chips that have to be interfaced, the less time they spend in design, and the cheaper the manufacturing costs. Of course when they can make more $$$ then the competition while charging less it means more profits not only from directly making more, but also scale factors if they can sell more than the competition.
I don't care how my laptop is designed. I care that it has wired and wireless networking, a good keyboard/mouse/screen, long battery life, small size, and a lot of other features. I also care about cost, and linux compatibility. Anything that can be done to maximize the above (minimise cost) the better for me, and the more likely I will choose one model over another. Centrino might be a solution that manufactures use to get there.
