OpenERP does that. Also Point Of Sale (there is a special restaurant POS module too), asset management, stock management, HR, CRM, and 500 other (optional) things including (hotel) restaurant management.
It's written in Python, backed by PostgreSQL and has both web and standalone clients. It will happily run on one PC or scale to dozens, even hundreds, of users. Or you can use it online for a modest fee: demo.
It is Free and Open Source supported by a commercial company based in Belgium, with offices in the US and India, and an international network of partners; 10 in the US. Being FOSS you don't need to be an official partner to be able to support it.
I use it for factory operations (using my own custom modules) and think it's well worth consideration by any SME that's looking for this kind of thing.
Ummm, except this is hardly the first time school girls have been targeted with poison, or acid, or fire, or gunshots.
Granted.
Are you asserting this or things like this haven't happened? I'm not sure why you're suggesting we need an alternative explanation which implies this didn't really happen.
I like explanations that are true. The article offered no actual evidence for a Taliban attack. Any conclusion that so neatly fits our prejudices should be subject to special skepticism.
There is an old Titan missile silo just south of Tuscon which is pretty cool.
And the Pima Air Museum does bus rides through that massive plane graveyard you may remember from Koyaanisqatsi.
They are British Subjects. They don't have inalienable Rights. Their privileges are whatever the government thinks they should be.
Britons have been citizens, not subjects, since 1983. See the British Nationality Act of 1981. We have had statutary rights since 2000, see the Human Rights Act of 1998, and arguably since 1215, see Magna Carta. Rights may or may not be inalienable, but if there's no legal penalty for aliening them... That's not to say the British state is not authoritarian. In fact that's one of the reasons I left the country.
And it wouldn't be a felony, because he's in the UK and we don't have that word.
Actually we do, though it's rarely used. It means a crime which attracts a five year tariff or more for a first offence.
You can only make a citizen's arrest if you witness a felony.
There's no obvous links to the patents themselves but from their names I'd say they are about VFAT not FAT itself. VFAT is the kludge that allows long file names on FAT filesystems. If FAT alone was the issue then it would be its own prior art because it was first used in the early '80s, its specifications were widely known well before 1990 and any patents would have expired by now. These patents date from 1992 to 1995 so only have a few years to run, but long enough to incentivize a switch away from (V)FAT I hope.
I am posting this from Val's Hostel in Dangriga, Belize using my Nokia 770. It's a pocket-sized "Internet Tablet" - WiFi and bluetooth with what I believe is the best screen on any pocket computer available. As well as reading Slashdot I use it for viewing and uploading photos from my bluetooth cam-phone, playing Freeciv, reading ebooks, VoIP... If you're going off the beaten track the meamo-mapper program will interface with a BT GPS and show you where you are. The newer N800 has a camera and FM radio built in. Carrying a laptop when backpacking is a major headache but my 770 does most of what a laptop would and lives in a pouch on my belt.
Political Correctness was an ironic joke by "alternative" (i.e. left-wing) comedians from the '80s, poking fun at their over-earnest brethren. The right-wing, missing the joke as usual, adopted it as a rallying cry and so now the woolly-headed faction of the left think they have to defend it. The whole thing is a stupid misunderstanding.
No, your attempt at a put down is predicated on pretending his overall point is not valid, and sticking to a dubious court finding on technicalities. He's right, and it's that simple.
Post flamebait, expect to be flamed. What was his point? That there is choice therefore MS is not a monopoly? This is only true for the most simplistic definition of monopoly. He's wrong because it's not that simple.
TFA says QCad is $28 but it is free (and Free) for the *nix versions. And maybe it isn't totally intuitive but it is easy to learn. I give it a thumbs up anyway.
When a suitable electronic pulse is sent to the device(~6 volts), the explosive charge would detnoate, rupturing the CO2 canister and releasing the CO2 into the tube attached to the nozzle.
How about just using an explosive to blow the water out of the bottom of a tube sealed at the top? You might not need the CO2 canister at all.
A monopoly exists when a single player has enough of the market to manipulate it in their favour. This does not require 100% market share. Back when the UK had a Monoplies Commission it would start to grumble when a company had 20% market share.
China is a problem. The problem with China is that they fix their exchange rate to the dollar.
America is printing Dollars like there is no tomorrow and giving them away so it's citizens and corporations can keep buying so the economy does not collapse. It also reduces the value of Dollars thereby reducing the national debt. This inflation is an effective way to extract wealth from the rest of the world, at least until the World gets fed up and switches to another reserve currency.
China refuses to pay this tribute to the American Imperium so American politicians accuse the Chinese of "manipulating their currency".
North Korea is a recognized terrorist state
Overview of State-Sponsored Terrorism
Well, even if you accept "accused by the US State Department" as a reasonable definition of "recognized" this is still pretty weak.
Apparently North Korea granted political asylum to some hijackers...in 1970, and they might have sold some weapons to a seperatist group that the Phillipino government regards as terrorists...or they might not have.
Huh? They are frequently called a rogue state and part of the "Axis of Evil" by certain people but I don't recall any allegations of terrorist activity by NK. Do you have any examples or is this just more "join the dots" thinking of the kind that has many Americans believing that Saddam was responsible for 911?

Not Catholics. Most Nazis were Catholics, at least nominally. You're probably thinking of Jehova's Witnesses.

The list of actors signed up seems to be deficient. Every Science Fiction series must have at least one role for Jeffrey Combs. It's the Law!

The conclusion jumped to is that this is a Taliban attack. However, this is actually quite a common - though unexplained - phenomenon: Mass Hysteria.

So "Anonymous" fights for wikileaks, which is expressly set up for the purpose of sharing secrets and revealing things.

Seems like they value secrecy above everything else
Personal secrets / privacy.
Ironic.
Only if you think governments and corporations are equivalent to people.
