I've been able to index across multiple computers since I've gotten google desktop(or at least until it let you specify which drives to index). Install google desktop on all computers you use. Map network drives to other computers. Index it all. No google server necessary
If I got this I would probably have to drop out of school and quit my job because I'd spend all my time making games that use the keyboard as its screen and controller.
"OK here you go. We also offer a car bomb detection service. Our car is as car bomb proof as we were able to make it but those terrorists are pretty clever. So you can pay us to make sure that any new ways of getting car bombs into cars that we find out about is prevented. "
"No thanks. What are the chances I'm gonna get targeted by a terrorist"....... some time later.........
"I want you to fix my car and all other cars for free"
"What's wrong with it"
"Car bomb set to go off in 3 days"
"Well we gave you the car in as good condition as we could and you declined to get any kind of terrorist protection whatsoever either from us or anyone else. We will fix it for free on all cars, but the fix we were working on won't be ready for a 2 weeks. That leaves you out of luck but others that car bombs later will appreciate that. For you we would recommend one of three options. You can pay for our car bomb insurace that you should have gotten in the first place and that will cover the cost of fixing it quick. You can pay another company to do the same. Or third, we have this small program where you can get it done for free or you can go to other free terrorist prevention centers to have it removed. "
hmmmm. I guess that could be true if astronomers are like every other profession and there are few brilliant ones and the rest pretty much really don't know the moon from the sun, beacause that's pretty much what I see here.
The guy above said it but maybe no explicitly.... If you buy a 2k laptop with your own money for work, you get to take a 2k deduction on your tax return. Deductions come off of your income before tax is applied. So if you made 40k and bought a 2k laptop, you only have to pay tax on 38k of your income. You pay 2k for the laptop but end up not having to pay like 400 dollars that you would have paid on your taxes otherwise
If they are learning they must be responding, they must be responding to some stimulus, right? They have no built in desire to fly planes straight, so how did they learn to want to fly them straight, and what kind of results they were getting? (I know they have no real desire to fly straight or knowledge of planes, but how do they become disposed to do what they do?)
The article was prety light on facts, but this part puzzles me.
They don't necessarily need to be out of business. A large part of what they do currently is give small musicians the benefit of their hugeness. They give them "loans" so that they can record with good equipment and with professional producers. At home you can record with no producers and with, at best, ok equipment. They promote the band. Advertise its shows and its albums. Also very expensive and very difficult to do without a record company. And of course, they distribute the music, as well as band merchandise. This can be in the form of CD's, as currently, or it could be in the form of getting mp3s on Itunes or even setting up free distribution channels. This would also be very expensive without a record company. The real money to be made is going to become licensing your music, royalties from radio stations and touring. We'll probably see ticket prices for concerts increase a lot in the future(and I think I've been seeing some of this already).
The record companies can kick and scream all they want, but whether it is right or not, there is going to be piracy and they are not going to be able to prevent it. They don't even have to alter their business model that much to be able to take advantage of free online distribution of music.
(I know very litle about the record industry, so I'm sure I'm wrong about at least half of that, but it's the way I see things going more or less)
Probably not a myth. I read something similar in an intro to psychology textbook. There was some rehab clinic where the patients started spending more and more time in the bathroom. When they finally tried to figure out what was going on, the patients had discovered that if you drink a lot of water(a real lot) you have similar experiences to being drunk. Misfiring synapses? maybe.
Could you explain how they are ugly failures? I don't know anything about, well... anything. Were they designed to be ecologically friendly and came out worse than they would have otherwise?
umm. Usenet's fucked.
I completely misunderstood the service being offered. I just thought it was a way to discover content that you would have to then find threw normal newsgroup programs.
I still doubt the average computer user can handle usenet. It's easy, but nowhere near as easy as napster or bt. As long as it's not overly widespread, they probably won't bother much.
It looks like winfs with a filesharing twist. Although I wouldn't call it copying since gmail was probably doing attribute based search of your personal data before I had heard of winfs.
Is that download/upload? If so then why is the upload higher than the download? I've never heard of any ISP offering more up than down.
Where did those numbers come from? That is a huge difference from the current offer of 10/1 Mbps for most areas serviced by cablevision and 20/2 offered in certain areas like long island. Verizon Fios is the fastest service that I know of and only offers 30/5 for $180 and is available virtually nowhere.
I think the point people were making is that the cannibanoid they were using is 100 times stronger than THC, so even if the effect of that cannabanoid is great for you, the effect of THC might be minimal. But it may go a ways to debunking the theory that pot destroys your memory and kills your brain.
He probably needs to go to these places to try to build a relationship with colleges so that they'll actually expose their students to windows development. Of course most computers are running Windows, but at least from what I've seen, colleges aren't teaching with it. The general sentiment, and in many cases the right sentiment, at school plays microsoft as the enemy and if you can't get developers to like your company, you can't get developers to work for it.
Microsof can't get Universities to take something for nothing. They offer many schools' students free downloads of Windows Operating Systems, developer tools, and server tools as part of their "MSDN Academic Alliance." At one school, we had a Microsoft speaker come to class to talk about.NET, and then direct us to get free software from MSDNAA. To her surprise no one in the class had heard of it. The administration had decided that its students didn't need free software from Microsoft and set up the site to access the software but never told anyone. At a different school, the SysAdmins refused to allow Visual Studio to be installed on lab computers for a class that is taught in C#, but were eventually convinced to allow it but only if the teacher and not them would support it.
There is a general reluctance to use Microsoft tools and language in academia, and this is probably leading to graduates that are far less equipped to program for windows than for Linux. It should be important to Microsoft to try to get good press on campus.
This has been exactly my experience with Linux. I'm a relatively advanced Windows user and a decent programmer, but I have a lot of trouble wrapping my head around simple tasks like installing programs with dependency issues. I generally haven't had much trouble finding the necessary rpms for dependencies, but get completely lost when the new package I need to fix a dependency issue conflicts with a different one I added for the last dependency issue.
I want to like linux, but really can't get comfortable enough to be a real user. The operating itself is great and I love using already installed programs(or ones I managed to install), but managing programs kills me.
This and harware support, which is not only the fault of linux but the manufacturers who don't write drivers, will keep average windows users from switching. In its current state I can't see my parents or most people I know using Linux.
Besides that it probably can't be financially feasible for most companies, giving everyone a private office seems counterproductive to me. You need to ask someone you're working with on a small project a quick question, and instead of just saying hey Joe, you have to get up and walk over to another office, knock on his door and see if he has time to answer your question. Putting people in close proximity and not walling them off seems to me to encourage communication and teamwork.
Also, Bob and Mary are working on a different project than me and are discussing some technical part of it, which I happen to know the answer to. In closed offices, they might spend a lot of time trying to figure something out that I already know, but in a more open office, I might be able to overhear and chime in. So I just helped the company and improved communication among employees.
Being in an opener office, allows you to be exposed to what's going on in the office, outside of your own work. You might hear about a few of the projects that other people are working on, the kind of problems and solutions they are running into. It can be important to learning as well. There is some amount of learning that most people can do through that exposure. You hear people talking about problems they are having or approaches they are taking and that might influence teh way you work. Instead of everyone learning from the same mistakes, you might be able to avoid a few.
Well at least that's my take on the cubicle thing. But a pair of headphones is deginitely necessary when you really need to concentrate. I don't have a lot of experience to base my opinion on, so I'm sure plenty of people disagree.

A failed biodome fails, where a failed arcology would be an ecologically friendly but not zero emission city.

does that mean that you can get 100 times more stoned if you get your hands on some HU-210? New drug to abuse?
