Is cross-contamination the reason so many US "restaurants" serve food with plastic knives, forks, spoons (I've curiously heard them referred to as silverware) and paper plates? Land-fill sites must be huge in the States.
The reuse of plastic bags comes down to sensible food handling practices - nothing more. Your whole process of handling the food needs to be safe - transportation and preparation. Be careful of what you mix, wash food, heat to correct temperature where appropriate. Plus your own personal hygiene...
I'm not one of those assholes who runs up to the end of an on ramp and then tries to get on, I try at the earliest point I can.
Bear in mind that if merging early might seem polite. However, it will put multiple points of insertion in queue. So someone merges at the end, everyone behind does slow down a small amount. Someone merges 3 cars behind, cars after that point have now slowed down by 2 increments etc. The slowdown is made worse by some people who need to immediately maintain a huge gap when someone merges in front of them. The correct thing to do is have 1 merging point and cars go one for one. And no clowns should speed up and break the system cutting people off. Not slowing the traffic down is the politest thing you can do.
Publishing and Broadcasting Limited was the Packer company.It was formed in the 90's from 2 Packer companies Australian Consolidated Press and Channel Nine.
News Limited is the Murdoch company and I think it has been for most of the time Murdoch has been publishing his rubbish.
The state of Queensland in Australia is Murdoch only in the 2 main newspapers (The Courier Mail and The Australian). That is scary. The only Fairfax presence is the online brisbanetimes.com.au.
Unless you want to be outraged because someone got a free lunch or you want to live in fear of being robbed by people with different coloured skin to you, other foreigners or teenagers or you care about policemen running around in the nude on a night out..... why would you even want it. It is frightening to see the influence when you live in a Murdoch-only state. So someone please teach him about robots.txt to stop more people from going to his sites.
When we stopped my dad from using IE and Outlook/Outlook Express our lives became much simpler. He now uses Mozilla.
He no longer gets viruses (but he had virus software... don't know...Stuff just seemed to stay in old messages or the addressbook. Only have talked to him about it remotely and I know very little about Windows)
He has come to understand about bitrot on Windows and the lack of security. Can't quite get him to jump to Linux but he is showing interest in accessing the Internet through a Linux firewall.
Now the morning comes 'round here much too early I roll out of bed feeling surly Stare in to my plastic cup Won't somebody please fill it up I don't care if it's cold or hot Give me something from that pot
Coffee - I've gotta have coffee Gimme Cofee - I love coffee Hey - pour me another mug, Doug Of that coffee
Now something happens around 10 o'clock My brain won't think and my mouth won't talk I've got a sleepy feeling I just can't shake It must be time for a coffee break I don't care of its hot or cold I don't care if it's 5 days old
Coffee - give me coffee I've gotta have coffee I just love my coffee Pour me a whole slew of that brew, Lou I just want some coffee
Now, French roast, English roast, espresso too Kona, mocha, java or Jamaica Blue There ain't no kind that I ain't ever had Unless you count instant or decaffeinated Coffee - I'm talkin' about coffee Bring it back hot and black, Jack I just want some coffee

Well, I met this chick And we went our on a date You know the night was getting awful late We'd been making all the stops Drinking beer, wine and gin My patience finally ran a little bit thin I said baby if you want to got out with me You gotta drink coffee 'cause I dig coffee I've gotta have coffee I love my coffee Make the scene with caffeine bean, Gene, I just want some coffee
Gotta have coffee I love my coffee I Gotta have coffee I crave coffee Fill up my tank with crank, Hank Give me coffee
That's exactly what I do. I use Amanda. To do the backups. I have a number of "tapes" setup on the hard drive and they just get reused. Backups are run every night according to the Amanda configuration.
Once a week I do a complete offsite backup onto another disk. It also has a number of "tapes" on it. However, Amanda does a complete backup each time (configured that way).
Several machines are included in this backup.
I had one of those OnStream ADR50 tape drives and spent a bundle on the drive and tapes. I was never happy with it. Eventually, it just stopped.
So I went through the saga of selecting a tape drive again. I only wanted to do something of the quality of DLT. But that was going to cost a small fortune. We pay a lot more for hardware in Australia.
The solution works well and I have performed a test of the recovery.
The I found out about these external USB boxes.
I would advise that you get a USB2.0 card if your machine is USB 1.x. The speed difference is huge.
That is correct. Merge 1 for 1 at the end where the lanes meet and things are a lot smoother.
It is courteous, there is only one point of the queue with a potential. Both lanes should be able to keep a reasonable speed with the gap left at that spot.
Otherwise , you get the slowdown effect as if someone has slammed on the breaks because they've dropped their cheeseburger.
You don't have to understand Einstein's Theory of relativity that you can't merge onto a freeway where the speed is (supposed to be) in excess of 100KMH in most places around the world doing 60KMH (i.e. 60MPH doing 35PMH). A little electric jolt from the black box under the driver's seat would be useful. But they probably wouldn't know if their arse was on fire anyway!
It would be good if the black boxes could
jolt the driver if they are going too slow in the fast lane (i.e left lane in US/Europe, right in Australia/UK). Maybe alligator clips...
And why does the traffic on the 280 go from 80MPH to 20MPH for no apparent reason.... Probably because some clown dropped their cheeseburger or litre of coffee in their lap... Hopefully the box will detect it and give them a jolt...maybe the machine will short out and give them a nice shock when it gets it's huge sea of milky coffee complete with shots of kiwi fruit flavouring...
These comments are spot on. Australia and America are similar in size.
Another thing is that the Americans even use a different frequency for their limited GSM. So the rest of the world needs a tri-band phone for when they visit the US.
Australian carriers are also national. Sign up for Verizon GSM in California and you can only use it for CA and NV and little else.

Q: Why is it running Linux, and how can I see it? A: The fact that the unit is running Linux is something that is not visible from outside. But some of the benefits of running Linux include:
* Well-known and well-documented and reliable OS, easy to employ new developers and they will get up to speed very quickly.
* Small footprint system, it does not take a lot of flash or ram memory.
* Longer term decentralized development which we as a multinational company will benefit from.
* Much functionality available for "free".
* The source code for Linux is freely available to everyone. Axis posts source at developer.axis.com
* Developed under the GNU General Public License.
* Our future OEMs will have faster and easier development. Instead of Axis doing all the work we will be able to focus on assisting them during their development.
The problem is that most of those types only know how to operate a mouse. They don't know how to understand what the problem is. All problems are solved by reinstallimg Windows.
Show them how with Linux commands and tools you can easily see what the problems are and fix them. They're not hidden away somewhere. You can work out where some config is done by grepping in/etc.
All type of thing might there in Windows but that is not how they do things....
There is a major difference. If people want to go out and find stuff on the Internet that is there business. Of course,some stuff is extremely objectionable...
However, this SPAM arrives unsolicited. Some of it is just door-to-door porn.
I'm confident some ISPs offer SPAM services.I get very little SPAM with the ISP I've been with for the last few years.
No it wasn't done prior to 9/11. I missed a connecting flight from LAX to SFO and my bags flew ahead of me. I was astounded. I suppose the bags had already travelled from Sydney. However, you do regain control of them in LAX before you put them back on to a conveyor belt.
In Australia, planes are often held up because people haven't shown.
The Australian Prime Minister, John Howard was in England meeting the Queen at Balmoral. They were discussing Australia and Howard's plans for the future.
Howard asked the queen if it was possible to turn Australia into a Kingdom to increase its force in the world market. The Queen replied,"One needs a King for a Kingdom and you are most certainly not a King."
He then asks if it is possible to turn Australia into an Empire. The Queen replies, "For an Empire one needs an Emperor you are most certainly not an Emperor."
Howard thinks for a moment and then asks if it is possible to turn Australia into a principality. The Queen replies, "For a principality one needs a Prince and you Mr. Howard are certainly not a prince."
The Queen adds further, "Without meaning to be rude Mr. Howard I think Australia should remain as a country.

Don't Net Meeting or Windows Messenger or any of those do SIP or H.323?
Then you can use Ekiga on Linux (or linphone) and they can use one of the Microsoft programs.
The beauty of standards. Depends how they are implemented, of course...
A fat contract like yours will come in a shipping container full of cardboard boxes and polystyrene balls.
Crikey, look at this little beauty! Let's go up and have a good look at him. Bang!

If Windows is installed I'd consider the computer to be rooted anyway. For the Americans have a look in the Macquarie dictionary for root and rooted.
What you need is the wireless version of the Magic Box.
