Who cares what you think hipocrit. And before modding me down, hear me...
The reason thet you people care about starwars and hate George Lucas is because you love him. Is everyone forgetting he made the first three Star Wars?
You say he walks all over IV,V, and VIs grave - he gave them life. And to be really honest the only one that really sucked was Phantom Menace. Even Clone Wars was good (except for C3POs idiocy) and Return of the Jedi was good (except for the muppets [fastforward the bits on Endor and focus on Luke]).
But really, overall Starwars has been good to us and if Return of the Sith is as good as A New Hope or Epire Strikes Back, it will round it off beautifully.
As an afterthought... Maybe we should want Lucas to keep going. With his habit for editing and re-releasing, maybe we could convince him to remake Phantom Menace sans JarJar and crap, or at least edit him out.
Myth #9. SURGE PROTECTORS ARE PERMANENT DEVICES.
Most point-of-use surge protectors use metal oxide varistors as their primary protection component. Despite all its strengths, this inexp- ensive (15 cent) component wears out a little with each surge above a very modest threshold... a threshold that is exceeded mant times a day in most environments. Unfortunately, the race among surge protector manufacturers to provide the "best" protection (i.e., the lowest let- through voltage) has led them to use lower voltage MOVs which age faster and fail sooner. The normal failure mode for an MOV is overheating, and they have been known to cause fires. Thus MOVs wear out and should be replaced periodically. Unfortunately, equipment to test MOVs is very expensive (on the order of $20,000). Indicator lights purporting to show that protection is operational,are not always reliable; in fact, those are sometimes wired across the power line and thus only indicates that the power line is live.
Surge suppressors eventually wear out, but the better quality ones have an indicator light that flashes when they have been damaged. If you are subject to frequent storms or brownouts, it's best to replace them every three or four years.
I completely agree. And to add, down with these generic products. I can get a digital camera the size of a credit card, a phone (those tiny ones) and an mp3 player and they'd all take up less rome than one-phone-does-all solution.
If people need a solution for carrying around files, buy one. If you want a personal digital organiser, buy a personal digital organiser. When will people learn that economy is lost in diversification?
Well, I for one see a use for this. If you could get it to cut in when power fails this could be very useful... even commercially so. I wouldn't think it would need to be to complex - such as sending messages to the interface - as I can usually tell when the power cuts out because of the lights going out.
Except on second thoughts you'd also have to insert batteries into the monitor to be able to shut down the machine properly.
... we can now sue microsoft for all that lost productivity. Somehow they must be responsible if they own the patent which made me sift through herbal viagra for 40 minutes each day
These companies would not even think for a minute to sue someone else over a patent they own. But when someone uses it against them then they cry foul.
Actually, using it against them would be upping the cost of incorporating wireless to $100 and using the funds to protect their IP or selectively reducing the cost for companies prepared to support them on their behalf.
Maybe hilding off on tabbed browsing was a good thing - as in a one button mouse was a good thing. I installed firefox on my girlfriends fathers computer (aged 50ish [the man, not the computer]). I told him about the perks of tabbed browsing, the amazing extensible architecture, and the technical superiority. He said to me, "So this will stop virus' then."
The majority of people aren't slashdotters. They don't want a sophisticated browser or operating system. They want a productive system. The caveat is that now enough people are in the habit of tabbed browsing that the rest will be easier to convert. However these things come slow. How many people know of others (not you yourself) who've had firefox installed and have never even installed an extension.
I support gecko browsers, and K-based browsers. I even support Opera (although I don't use it personally). The extremes stabilise the middle.
As a monopoly though, microsoft sets the agenda, and for all those computers which you and I fix each day, the lack of complexity and a contrived standard have been good.
For the idiot in accounting, having to switch between windows may have been enough of a disincentive that I wouldn't have to retrieve his spreadsheet after he overloaded and crached his computer.
I am currently using Safari and have firefox open in the background. I support these. However, IE is enough for some people (especially older users).
In addition to all the other responses you recieved, remember also, it has not been until the modern era that we have even classified children. We've not tried to deliniate children from adults. It wasn't until the end of the 19th century that child labour protection laws came in. People, for the majority of history, were regarded as such, with respect payed for said development at the epistance in that persons life.
That said, there is something to be said for the developing ethincal inclusion which has occurred. For example, monkey now have rights. This may indicate two thing, we are becoming more aware of the natural law; or we are all stuffed in the head hippies.
I do agree about the panty shot being over the line (not that I could find that quote). This is not for any pragmatic reason such as going to jail, but on virtue that people have an intrinsic dignity and are to be counted as more than 'sexual beings'.
Think of it in terms of circles with the example TSR. The letters mean nothing by themself. But in an IT setting, they indicate Terminate and Stay Resident programs. In gaming circles they represent a popular role play gaming company.
Unless you purposely used "Intelectual Property" as opposed to "Trademarks", in which case you'd be astute, but only in your obfuscation and condfusion.
1. Languages (not dead) constantly evolve; words are created, destroyed, etc... Look at the process of creating nouns in German.
2. Whilst more people go into business, capitalist economies cause business to be centralised into oligopolies, e.g. the HP merger.
3. Trademarks don't have to to be words,eg NT, XP Scheppervescence.
4. Apple and Tigerdirect are both IT firm, and its up to the judiciary as to how much they overlap.
5. I still hear people argue about how to pronounce "OS X" (is it Oh Es Ten; Oh Es Ex...
PS your name Entropius is an example of words being introduced to the language as part of etymological development; for example, the common use of Zion or Zionic in everyday language.
Actually, you've got that wrong. The trend in education nowadays is not geared towards creating industry ready archtypical factory turnouts. Its a self sustaining system with strongly institutionalised values. Schools don't set there cirriculum according to industry demands (unless that industry is a university). The trendtowards oucome based assessment assures that. Also, the rising level of graduate unemployment agrees with me.
What is missing in education is a push towards innovation, imagination and improvisation. Those things make assessment harder to do. For example, an outcome based assessment would say if you child can do math this way, he's passed. If he innovated and finds a new solution, if he doesn't meet the outcome criteria, he's failed.
Industry is not the reason for the homogenisation of the education system; that's economic and the result of modern business practice.
We should move away from that and maybe forcing child innivation is an appropriate method. In addition, if you look at trends in the industry away from microsoft.
Well, I guess the reason the manager doesn't let you stay late is the high likelyhood of you doing something stupid by yourself. I live in a different time zone. I can also recall that fact AND browse news sites concurrently.
yeah... maybe...
There is still no accounting for the gaps in the fossil record nor the early development of the hylocampus (- spelling? horses-ish). Secondly, where are the tenets of a good scientific rationalisation, for example repeatability?
not to mention the wireless networking at Notre Dame university, Western Australia, has been completely munted for about six months now whilst the sysads **** with the new usage monitoring software. Rather then monitor software, simply put in place software to block offending sites and material. If an email has more than X nasty words, provide an alternate method of retrieval, etc..
a happy worker is a good worker. Also, people self medicate. When they need a break, they'll log onto slashdot, or check there email, read a funny and forward it. It has been very well documented how long people can concerntrate for and what effects recreation periods have. Any occupational therapist could tell you the effects of excercise, sunlight, and recreation have on productivity, as well as a host of other factors.
Patents are there for protection - whoever you are. Patents shouldn't be biased towards Large or small companies and if you watch the development of the law you'll see it wavering back and forth. There is more stuff about how it is bad for small business simply because a large corporation can deal monetarily with issues when the chips are stacked against them.

Still, I've seen a harddrive after a bios was set to startup on power failure and then had the power flick on about 15 times in a row.
You could see the damage when we opened it up. I know my preference.
Just so you know (and i don't mean to condescend) but did you know that UPS wear out and loose their responsiveness over time?
Except on second thoughts you'd also have to insert batteries into the monitor to be able to shut down the machine properly.
