Indeed not. He was in the Senate. Like he said he was.
You're wrong on two counts.
First, the Senate is part of congress.
Second, Gore was in neither the Senate nor the House when the internet was "invented".
1966 - First APRANET plan
1969 - ARPANET commissioned by DoD for research into networking. First packets sent by Charley Kline at UCLA as he tried logging into SRI. The first attempt resulted in the system crashing as the letter G of LOGIN was entered. (October 29)
1970 - First publication of the original ARPANET Host-Host protocol
1972 - Ray Tomlinson (BBN) modifies email program for ARPANET
1973 - First international connections to the ARPANET
1974 - Vint Cerf and Bob Kahn publish "A Protocol for Packet Network Interconnection" which specified in detail the design of a Transmission Control Program (TCP)
1975 - Operational management of Internet transferred to DCA; "Jargon File", by Raphael Finkel at SAIL, first released
1976 - UUCP (Unix-to-Unix CoPy) developed at AT&T Bell Labs and distributed with UNIX one year later.
Nov. 2, 1976 - Gore was elected to the first of four terms in the House.
Nov. 6, 1984 - Gore elected to Senate
I, of course, realize that there will still be some of you out there who think all the contributions prior to Al Gore's votes are irrelevant, but there you are.
Al Gore was not in congress when the internet was "created". He had no dealings with it what-so-ever. Now, if he wanted to make the claim that he helped with legislation to popularize the World Wide Web, that's a completely different thing.
At best it's an technically incorrect boast showing his lack of understanding of the terminology. Of course, I wouldn't expect a politician to understand the difference.
It assumes prospective employers will look at a qualified job applicant and say, "No, I just can't hire this person because he used to work for a jerk. Even though he had no control over the legal matters of his employer, somhow I have to take it out on him."
As I recall, critics were saying the only redeeming quality of the last matrix was its visual effects... Nice mood swing.
<rant> To me, the real problem with the list is not that the last two Matrix movies are not included, but that the Hulk is included. I have not seen the Hulk, but I have seen enough trailers of it to be disgusted. The cinematic previews of it were so bad as to make me actively avoid seeing it. Those were horrible. How can a movie have the best visual effects when they can't even peice together a couple minutes worth of believable trailers? Those trailers have to be the absolutely least believable special effects I have ever seen.
If the movie were ten times better than the trailers (and when has that ever happened?) then the movie would still suck.
Then combine that with the massive hype, merchandising, and "making-of" specials; I've seen enough of the movie to make me ill.
Lee deciding to do the motion acting for the part of the Hulk was a major mistake also. He can't act and his movements were ridiculous to say the least. Tack on a plastic looking green CG skin to the bad movement and you get a phony, imposible to accept, fake, idiotic looking main character.
One more thing... I realize it's based on a comic book, but when you create a "real world" version one of the things you have to do is make the physics believable. OK, fine, so he can jump real far and run real fast - don't just act like gravity doesn't affect him - at least try to make it look real. Or maybe they did and failed miserably; either way, it sucked. </rant>
My only hope is that slowly, without forcing him, he will see that there is something behind my comments and tips. Maybe a light will go on, and he will decide to take a look.
It sounds to me like you are trying to get fired. But, since I am looking for a job at the moment, what company are your working for?
I'm willing to get paid to sit around letting the system fall apart -- then heaping all the blame on the boss. That works for me... it's a built-in promotion.
Once the boss is out of the way, I can fix the stuff... built-in raise + respect from upper management.
Once I have acheived that state, then I can coast to retirement... built-in retirement plan. This part, of course, requires hiring people to do the actual work... and you'll need a job. I could probably talk them into rehiring you.
Personally, I want to cut one up and strap it to a home made model rocket. I don't need a LCD for that. Also, at $10 I won't be too heartbroken if it doesn't survive the launch and recovery.
Get a clue. 'Spelt' is certainly a word meaning the same as 'spelled'. Just because you are ignorant and living in North America doesn't mean the rest of the world is.
Geesh.... the spelling nazis are attacking people for using correct spelling now.
As someone who has done a bunch of wiring for phones, alarm systems, and networks I can answer this question.
For phones CAT5 is fine, but CAT3 is cheaper and just as good. Run all the wires directly from the Telephone company's network interface box to the outlet. Don't splice into them if it can be avoided.
CAT5 has 8 wires (4 pairs). The Blue pair is usually line 1, the orange pair line 2.
The phone company will install a new network interface box if you order more phone lines (at least BellSouth will). The new boxes have nice little gadgets on them that require no tools to crimp a wire pair into place. Just slip in the wire pairs and close it with your thumb.
The only difficult part is getting the wire down the walls. Inside walls are usually not insulated and therefore easier to work with. Drill a hole in the top-plate above the area you want to install the jack. Feed the wire down the wall. Have someone downstairs listening to make sure the wire made it all the way down the wall before cutting a hole for the jack. Sometimes there are 2x4 braces which block the wire from going all the way down.
You could do like the phone company generally does and use thin 4 conductor wire and staple it along the base boards, but it looks shoddy and CAT5 would look horrible.
You could probably also go to a mom-and-pop alarm installation company and ask one of the installers what he'd charge you to run the wire as a side job. You could probably get it done for $150.
I don't know if MLK was ever convicted of anything
My point was that one can be arrested and spend time in jail without ever even being formally charged with a crime. The charges are sometimes dropped after a few hours, days, or sometimes even weeks. In rare cases, years. So it is possible to spend time in jail and have no criminal record.
SCO will sue Groklaw for illegal use of the term "DDoS", which of course SCO lays claim to.
Clearly, the letters "D", "o", and "S" are part of SCO IP.
"S" is the first letter in their company name. "D", being the letter after "C" is obviously a derivitave work of the second letter. "o" is simply an attempt to hide the misuse of the third letter "O".
Note you said "professionals". People who want to start photography don't have the resources professionals do.
Yet another reason to use digital. Digital photography is at least an order of magnitude less expensive than film photography.
Yet I've taken pics with an SLR in much less light that came out dandy because I could set the f-stop to 1.7 and speed up the shutter by a factor of 4 or so. I could *never* have taken these pictures of the aurora with anything but an SLR.
Being able to adjust the f-stop, shutter speed, and exposure values has nothing to do with the camera being (or not being) a SLR.
Here is a shot comparable to yours taken with a Nikon Coolpix 995 and here is someone else I know with the same camera. He uses it with a spotting scope for some outstanding close-ups. And here is a place you can get them for under $400.
Here is a shot of mine that was taken at night with a Monolta DiMage 7i... a SLR-like camera, though not a true SLR.
I could be naive in saying that "film is dead", but I believe that's pretty much the truth. Especially for someone like yourself.
It may not be dead, but it has certainly moved into the catagory of "not practical for most cases". Most professionals are moving to digital because the quality is now just as good for most situations.
Digital is the best choice for a beginner because you can do a lot more experimenting without spending a fortune on things like film and developing. It also allows to to see the results immediately along with saving all the camera settings information. For someone just getting into photography, I'd recommend skipping film. Just buy a 3+ megapixel digital used on EBay. Buy something more expensive when you've figured out exactly what you want.... which you will.
And if *nix world moves to using shared libraries more, it will face the same problem Microsoft has - a single security fix in a single shared library can potentially break any of hundred applications that use this library, and all these applications has to be tested with patched version. Which is still better than patching hundred applications independently.
You are coming off as a troll, I don't know why people keep modding you up. You are obviously ill informed about the subject you are trying to talk about, or simply trying to agitate.
If SCO doesn't win its claim, you can have them pay your legal and court fees. I'm sure there are lawyers out there that would take your case contingent basis.
If I recall correctly, SCO lawyers only get paid if they win. SCO lawyers do not have to pay the court costs if they lose, even if the judge orders that SCO does have to pay them. What seems to be the case is that SCO has gotten into a situation with their lawyers in which the lawyers can lose big by not taking every possible case to court. The lawyers are running the show and have nothing to lose and everything to gain by sueing everyone.
Perhaps what is needed is a lawsuit against the lawyers.

Come on people, be realistic.
I'm really dissapointed that nobody got around to writing a Welchia variant that upgrades vulnerable Windows boxes to Linux
People would be calling MS tech support in droves:
"I knew something was different because I haven't seen that comforting blue screen in a long time."
"I'm glad those ugly colors are gone now, but I can't find Freecell anymore"
"The paperclip is gone and I don't know how to get it back"

Don't nobody link to anything on the SCO site today, wouldn't want them to think they are getting DDoSed while they are being /.ed!
Just to make sure people know what not to link to, this is it: http://www.sco.com
So, whatever you do, don't click that link or add additional links to it.

He did do a few days in prison from October 25 to October 28, 1960.
prison != jail
Jail is where suspected criminals go.
Prison is where convicted criminals go.
I would strongly object to the idea that you can "see the results immediately" if you mean the measily preview you get on the built in LCD.
I meant as opposed to having to take it in for developing, but your point is well taken.
