I remember having to put my 2400/4800 modem on layaway because I couldn't afford it entirely at the time. Paid it off $25 a week until it was finally in my hot little hands.
True, but given that the GP said "to escape bills", I suspect the initial moved boxes would tip off the colo operator that you're about to run out on them, and to stop you cold.
The all-numeric date format with years first sorts out perfectly. When you use English spellings (note: a sizable portion of the world has different names for those months) you lose the automatic sorting.
I use a SecurID at work, and it definitely does not allow me to use the previous 10 codes.
What it does do, is keep track of how my token's clock seems to be drifting, based on where it calculates my token should be vs what I'm punching in.
My first entry after a week off has a moderate amount of slack - I can use a code that has rotated off within about 3 seconds of it vanishing. After a couple code entries, I have no slack at all - the servers have my token's drift pegged down to the tenth of a second.
Google is a US company (primarily). If they don't want to go to the extent of portraying Taiwan differently based on the user's geographic location, it would make sense for them to follow the official stance of the US government.
He's watched a signpost temperature display toggle back and forth, with the only thing changing being the "F" to "C" and vice versa.
He doesn't mean he's watched the temperature go up and down.
It makes a lot more sense if you have regular exposure to the big signs that toggle between the two measurement systems, as we often see on the northern side near the border. Since the numbers virtually always change, it's quite noticable when they don't.
Yes. The term you want to look in to is "map projections" - specifically Mercator (this type, with the great distortions at the north/south portions), Robinson, and the like.
But at the same time, it's not like he's the only reason the Soyuz is going up. He's just tagging along for the ride, resulting in slightly less cargo capacity and increased resource consumption for a week.
When you look at it that way, it's almost all profit - or at least, loss reduction.
Now, if you started launching only for taking tourists up, that's a different proposition.

Most of them have been told not to run this kind of thing, but they do it anyways. That's idiotic.
If they hadn't been told, they'd just be ignorant, but they have been told.
The colo is private property, and they can have you ejected, especially if you're delinquent.
That's how. I'm not talking bullshit at all.

Microsoft can't do it because they're a convicted monopolist.
Apple is not, so they can do it.
This is pretty simple. You break the law, you get curtailed rights.
With weak skins like ours, not a lot of difference.
With tougher skins like you find on cows and reptiles, a lot of difference.

Ah, but what if you use CowboyNeal to make the crater? Does that allow an exemption?
Ballmer used to, but then some guys swiped it and took it to Google.
My apologies, you're correct. Had my compounds a little mixed. Certainly much closer than the GGP though.
Minor nit, but it's PVC - polyvinyl chlorate.
The easiest way I find is to just take out the "d", at least under Google Earth.
Once that's gone, it's recognized as lat/long.
And naturally, I fall prey to the rule that any posting picking on anothers spelling contains a spelling error or typo. I meant "remedial".
You may want to sign up for remdial math and english, considering your salary figure was off by a factor of 1000, and salary has no "e" in it.

Lots of examples with comparisons.
Is that what they call a pedofile? /rimshot
Actually, if his points were implemented properly on those laptops, then they wouldn't be capable of being carriers of infection.
As well, any network that can get completely owned by a road warrior is inherently brittle. It needs more defense in depth.

We could have the backend DB's connect to the webserver via Appletalk, just for kicks.

Vancouverite, ICQ devotee. Could have something to do with first using it with a miniscule ICQ UIN though. All my friends use ICQ as well.
The kids in the area seem to all use MSN, so I agree with you there.
Amen. LDAP may be a bit of a bear to learn at first, but the way you can tie everything together really can't be beat.
You may want to ponder the lines past the one you quoted.
When duly considered, they indicate sarcasm.
