I presume you mean "...apps only work if they are trivial".
I hate Microsoft as much as anyone, but if you have apps that run on Win95, but not NT-based systems, it's because they violate some fundamental rules of Window's APIs. Win95/98 were notoriously lax about enforcing those rules, which was certainly a big factor in the unreliability of Win95/98.
The rules are bullshit. Always have been. After 15 years, somebody is finally getting around to actually trying to figure out if there's any actual interference?
And the article is bullshit. They produce not a shred of evidence or any facts, or measurements. They merely state that they "found" cell phones could cause interference. So why don't they prove it, or at least describe the interference and its effects?
And this continuing whining about not wanting to hear other people talking on their cellphones is bullshit. Some people like to talk. Get over it. If they're not talking on their phone, they might talk to you. Either way, deal with it. It's not like an airplane is ever quiet, anyway.
Given that Bush and Co. obviously consider themselves above the law (as they pretty much ignore the ones that even slightly hinder what they want to do), do you really think that means anything?
OK, this is redundant, but this is a better comment to reply to. Try Parts Express. You can also get a lot of their stuff through Amazon. For audio parts (speakers in particular) their selection is far better than Radio Shack's ever was. Oddly enough, I've gotten Radio Shack branded cables from them.
I've found Parts Express to be a great alternative to Radio Shack. It's great for me since I pass them on the way to work, but they are primarily an online order company anyway.
Ha-Ha yourself. Compiling the program isn't the half of it. You need to analyze the source carefully, and ensure you understand every line of it to prove there is no backdoor. After that, you need to design, engineer and build the processor and the rest of the computer. There are many places to put backdoors on a computer. And also, you'd better be an expert on electromagnetic spectrum so you can ensure the machine is 100% shielded from any possible emission of information.
I think 'Trusted" means you ensure you obtained your software and hardware from a source that you are confident won't lie to you, and are competent enough to leave no backdoors unlocked.
Same thing happened to me when I charged a semester of college for my daughter. I also hung up on them. They are just rude as hell anyway.
I emailed a complaint about it; they said it actually was their security department. The charge went through anyway without further contact. Who knows, maybe they're just checking to see if you're smart snough to be trusted. There was no issue for the next semester.
Well, I know just enough Japanese to say that "soduko" is almost certainly incorrect. There is no representation for "du", at least in the normal spelling system. is sudoku in Hiragana. "soduko" would be , which would be pronounced "sozuko", more or less.
Well, the hiragana doesn't show up on preview, so this is probably a waste.
What difference does it make what's "allowed", and what's "legal"? The Bush administration has made it clear they intend to do whatever they think is "necessary" regardless of what Congress, the Supremes, or the unwashed masses have to say about it. And, they intend to keep it all secret, so as to avoid all this hand-wringing as much as possible.
What everyone is overlooking is that Bin Laden owns W, and is doing his bidding. Do his actions make any sense otherwise? Our government is not acting in the people's interest, or in "Big Oil's" interest. Only Bin Laden and al-Qada benefit from W's actions that I can see.
It's hopeless unless the CEO (or close to it) recognizes the problem. It's not only management, even though they're certainly at fault. IT infrastructure/tech support people seem to inherently have a kingdom-building complex. Their job, as they see it, is to protect their system from the clueless user community. And anything that deviates from their vision of a perfect system is not a priority. They have their own agenda of new features and releases and upgrades... user requests are an annoyance.
In 15 years of tech support work, I was always amazed at most of my colleagues' antagonism to "users". They seemed to think that anyone who didn't understand every detail of the system didn't deserve any support.
Your mom is certainly buying some products that she would not without the coupons. Therefore, the coupon-issuer scores a little more profit than without. In particular, they prevented a sale to smaller, cheaper brands that can't afford coupon advertising.
1.5, huh? I guess 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, and 1.4 were test versions. It seems to me that up until now free software generally didn't see any need for playing this sort of release number game.
Firefox 1.5 is indistinguishable from 1.0.7, except by the different orientation of the tabs on the preferences dialog.
Does Mozilla think they're going to increase "sales" this way? The update notifier doesn't tell me about 1.5; that might have been a smarter thing to worry about than fudging with the version number.

Typical 95% content-free blather from a well-bribed academic minion.
American colleges are mostly a complete scam. This is merely one company (lenovo) siezing an opportunity to get in on the action.
Given that Bush and Co. obviously consider themselves above the law (as they pretty much ignore the ones that even slightly hinder what they want to do), do you really think that means anything?
For my people, that would be a life-ending move. (LEM)

Contrary to conventional wisdom, all 1m diameter spheres have the same diameter.

Wow, almost 30 seconds... maybe that guy was dumb.
Or did I misunderstand the rules?
I'd line up about 18 tons of air conditioning power. And plan on running only when it's 40F outside.

Yes, very amusing... but I meant it to be vice-versa. I probably should have said "Bin Laden owns W, who is doing his bidding".

What part of "otherwise" do you not understand?
He may be uninterested in his current job, but while employed there he cannot be disinterested in it.
Best is when puberty happens while you're out of town sometime during summer vacation when you're 13. Anything else is suboptimal.
