I so wish there were term limits for all government offices. In for two terms then you HAVE to be out for one term. You can run again and if you win, be in for two more terms before having to be out again. They have to win each term. If this was done maybe there would be politicians who would listen to the people they are supposed to be representing in office.
Then again, those same politicians would have to vote for this idea.... which they would never do. (sigh)
Dell proprietary power supply connection? On which model are you talking about? We have a ton of dell desktops here and none have a special power supply connection. Some have dual 24 pin power connections (the big XPS 700 series desktops), but the rest have a 24 pin ATX power connection even though they are all the BTX cases. I like the flipped case layout. The heat sinks on the video cards work correctly. Heat rises off the card and doesn't have to travel along the card to get away. And the big XPS systems, allow stepped overclocking of the CPU to boot. The over clocking is controlled to certain set settings. But we can take the 2.6 GHz CPU to 3.2 GHz on those dell without much hassle or worry.
Laptops power supplies, I cannot speak for. I sort of thought every manufacturer did something different.
Asus, DFI, to name a few. They have built in over clocking utilities in their motherboards. Not the budget lines, the higher priced ($150+) motherboards. The higher end gaming versions allow you to overclock very easily.
I thought that some high end motherboards allowed you to run different voltages on the RAM and CPU.
Actually I would like to see IBM or one the other UNIX makers patent the two or three button mouse and right clicking (they were around long before microsoft). Then see what Apple does. If you plug in a usb mouse with multiple buttons on the mac, those buttons do work so right clicking does work on a mac. Just not with the mouse (or touch pad on laptops) that comes with the mac. The functionality is there, just one button for Apple branded mice.
Then I must be dreaming when I have the desktop running at 1600X1200, one video game in a window mode at 1280X1024, and a second game running in a window at 800X600. Both games running (to them) at their highest screen settings. This has been around for a while. I been doing this since 2000 at least.
I though 1.8v was DDR2 standard voltage. DDR3 used 1.5 volts. Which is annoying but it is what Intel decided to do. There are a lot of DDR3 RAM with 1.8v or higher voltage. Only these new CPUs (Nehalem) use the 1.5 voltage the previous ones work fine with the higher DDR3 RAM. If you are going to get a Nehalem CPU make sure you have 1.5-1.65 volt RAM. If you already got higher voltage DDR3 RAM and another CPU, do not upgrade. Or upgrade the CPU and RAM and maybe motherboard.
Putting the higher voltage RAM with a Nehalem CPU is a bad idea. Intel says do not do it. I would let the benchmark sites test it out first since it is on their dime not yours. If you put 200 octane fuel in your car and the engine blows up do you go and demand the dealer replace it for free? They can tell if you had the wrong type of oil in your car now a days and will void the warrantee if the engine breaks from the wrong oil. Same idea here with the RAM voltage. This new CPU is designed to run on lower voltage. Until we all see how far it can be pushed, do what the Intel books says. Or risk/pay the consequences.
Resistance to UV is only useful if you leave your discs out on your desk in the daytime. Come that point, though, i'd be more worried about coffe-rings after you mistake your archive for a coaster.
I added cork to a bunch of failed burns to make drink coasters. For the bigger non regular size drinking glasses (ever see the 16 oz coke holiday glasses/hugs?)
on topic:
I would like to have 100GB+ disk backup. If it was RW even better. I use RW DVDs for a few home based backup. Format the DVD-RW disk and use it like a big floppy. Yes, there are flash drive and external hard drives that are bigger, but this was setup before flash drives were out. Older non geek people trust a CD/DVD more then the flash drive. They can hold it, they understand it. The flash drive is a little scary for them. The size is a lot smaller and easy to lose.
I would pick the one that is closest to the school so they know which one you are talking about. You got US football, the college stadiums to pick from. Not too hard.
Unless you live in an area where the electricity is made from hydro/nuke/solar only. That electricity is made from oil/coal. So not so much savings since oil is still in the equation.
Coal is still used in the US at least not sure world wide. I think that are natural gas electricity plants and geo-thermal ones too but I don't have those numbers. Not everywhere can have geo-thermal electric plants.
I would want to know the range on the electric system and the millage when running purely on gas
They never run purely on gas though. Like you said, the gas engine merely charges the batteries, it isn't directly connected to power the wheels at all.
Only the Volt runs that way. All the other hybrids can get direct power from the gas engine. They can run off of the batteries or the gas engine.
from TFA: private information from 14 employees and contractors who worked at the laboratory from 1998 to 2002 had been found on CDs or zip drives (emphasis mine)
Cutting edge military hardware.
Well those zip drives did have the click of death....
Considering the article talks about a game where fish hide stuff and you have to find the matching items, they are talking about memory and not reaction times.
So if get your older friends one of those mind/memory games for their next birthday.
Also AIDS changes often. There is more then one kind of HIV. There was a study (in New York I think) that showed gay men with HIV were only have sex with other HIV infected people and some of those men had multiple kinds of HIV.
Could it be that what we now call HIV was something else and changed into HIV?
Why in the HELLS create something, give it a free will, make it's immune system *relatively* robust, then create a disease/malfunction SPECIFICALLY to punish beings for same-gender emotional/recreational sex activities? Sure, reckless-abandon sex should not be rewarded when STDs can be passed all to easily. But, the logic of the "God's punishment for Gay sex" is absolutely, mind-bogglingly, immeasurably idiot. Why? Well, those who practice SAFE/monogamous or protected same-sex sex are ONLY going to contract HIV/AIDS by means OTHER than penile-anal/penile-vaginal congress.
It is only the male to male sexual relations that are being punsished. Female to female is allowed (and encouraged).
I used realjukebox back in the day too. I think it came with a CD burner. Anyway no spyware, no extra crap just the program. I ripped all my CDs to MP3 using it and everything worked fine. The files were all organized by artist/album/song on the hard drive.
Then I got an Ipod. It imported the songs just fine. But it stripped out all the artist and song info. All the info was there in the realjukebox program but only unknown artist track 1 in itunes. I wound re-ripping most of the Cds to get teh info in itunes. I still had to search for/scan in the album cover art though.
The old real player program worked. Too bad I couldn't use it to load up the ipod.
The A+ cert was not hard (I just walked in and passed it back in '04). Some companies will not look at you unless they see degree AND certifications. If you can, get a few in different areas. Most on here will hate it but having an MCSE, a Cisco cert or two (CCNA, CCNP, there are others too), Red Hat certs, in addition to the A+ cert you will look a lot better to the HR department. If the place is a microsoft shop, the MSCE will look good to them. If they are a *nix shop, the Red hat and Cisco certs will look good. This is not going to be cheap. The Red Hat certs are like $2300-3000 per class with the test. You could go cheaper and just take the test too. I have to look up the cost of the Cisco certs but they are also not cheap.
Another option is getting a masters degree. I didn't see if the degree you have was a MS or BS degree. Bachelors degrees are beginning to look like high school diplomas. Everyone has one. Which kind of sucks cause that means now one has to go through another 2-3(4?) years of school and deeper into debt to get a good job.
Bottom line, having a few certs + degree + some experience makes you look a lot better then degree + some experience.
Going with your fridge analogy, why should it be a bad thing for a grocery store to connect to all the fridges it knows about in order to tell them about new products? Why this artificial distinction between "inbound" and "outbound" traffic?
Because maybe we do not want to wake up in the morning and be greeted by ads from a store on the fridge?
Anyway if you have a home network, you should allow things in that you want in (or out). Everything else should be blocked. Most traffic goes in one direction at a time. One should be making sure that the traffic coming in is safe before it gets in. And also, you want to make sure that your outbound traffic is not harming others.
Sometimes you need to look at bad things in order to understand/fix/prevent them. I have set up isolated networks (no internet access) and run a whole lot of bad things on them. It makes testing easier since it is controlled. And I do not harm anyone else during the test. If those machines were plugged in to the main network with internet access, a lot more people would have complained.
I have gotten outlook 2003 working under wine and crossover. Just remember to install the new fonts that office 2007 (by default) uses, and you should be OK. Outlook 2003 works for almost everything on the new Exchange server. You may hit a outlook sync issue. that happens if you have people leaving outlook open for days/weeks on end. I have been trying to get the users here to close outlook when they go for the night.
I think Adobe calls shutdown.exe on windows for a reboot. Usually I say reboot later and use the thing right away. Most times I do not need to reboot. Sometimes (lastest version) it complains that I need to reboot in order to use the software.

Why are many people so beautiful today?
Maybe all the plastic surgery has something to do with it?
If what you are saying is only the hot people have kids then you really need to look around more.

If you were building a network when you had nothing before, why not start with IPv6.
True, I hate developing mono in anything other than Visual Studio - there isn't yet a good alternative IDE that I found.
I hate to develop mono anywhere. Getting sick sucks.
If microsoft really wanted C# to be used in more places, they make or allow someone else to make a cross platform IDE for it.

Have you looked at what vista and OSX 10.5 use when installed? Both are 20+GB. Granted OSX has more stuff to use then the base os.
