A-frickin'-men. The dumbasses in charge of primaries across the country are so enamored with being "relevant" that it seems inevitable that we're going to have a national primary about a year ahead of the election. Which is incredibly stupid and short-sighted, seeing as how nobody is in a position to know much of anything about the candidates yet.
By the time the election rolls around, both nominees could have multiple scandals to their name, better candidates may turn up, and who knows what will happen to the nominees' putative positions after a solid year of back-room deals and bribery.
Lets go back to having conventions do the nominating.
I've used E*Trade more or less daily for about seven years, both brokerage and bank. Not once have I used IE. I used Netscape 7 at the time, and Firefox now.
Maybe there's something "special" about the stock grant part.
It's unfortunate that there are so many people who think they are called to "protect" everyone else from all manner of sin.
In this case, it's just pitiful. I still don't know of any valid reason for schools to provide students with computer/Internet access at all; but blocking websites there does little more than identify sites that students might find interesting, once they get home.
Censors with the power to enforce it are evil. Censors without the power are just silly.
Well the PDF downloader is just useless. All you have to do is disable the stupid Adobe plugin, and Firefox natively asks you every time whether to view (in the independent viewer) or download the PDF.
TiSP for Enterprise We're actively developing a higher-performance version of TiSP specifically tailored to small and medium-sized businesses, including 24-hour, on-site technical support in the event of backup problems, brownouts and data wipes.
And because they'll probably remove it once Mrs. Grundy complains about the scatological humor.
I agree with you 100%, although it's largely because that's the interpretation that I like. Thanks for the case, it should be great backup for arguments.
However...
If the US Constitution meant anything at all beyond the layout of the 3 branches, then there would be no need for all this torturous parsing of the 2nd amendment, or the rest of the bill of rights. The constitution states clearly that congress has no power except in the specific areas it was delegated the power. Firearms, speech, education, etc. ad infinitum, are areas never delegated to congress (hint: it requires an amendment, remember prohibition?). 95% of federal legislation is patently unconstitutional.
And don't give me that crap about regulating interstate commerce. Biggest screw-up by far of the founders (I believe the idea was to keep the states from tarriffing each other into gridlock; why didn't they just ban them, and leave it at that?)
Of course, all interpretation of any law is ridiculously expansive as far as government powers go, and as narrow as possible as far as citizens' rights go.
But the 2nd amendment ultimately means nothing. If the citizenry allows themselves to be slowly taken over by a dictatorship—and we're more than half way there—I guarantee that the governemnt will take your guns when they feel the need, regardless of any consitution, judgement, or law.
One of the first things the group learned was that more than 12 medicines are on the market for the respiratory syndrome, and all are effective.
That's right! There is absolutely no need for this drug -- except to enhance the profits of the manufacturer. And the pathetic FDA, with it's policy of ALWAYS doing the wrong thing, says it "must" approve the drug because of idiotic guidelines it was bribed and bullied into accepting.
True, but it's their second lousy implementation (the one you mention being for NTFS). On FAT systems, file timestamps are stored with local time. So every time DST goes in or out of effect, my file sync program (between NTFS on PC and FAT on USB) goes completely out of whack.
MS has long been aware of all the problems and incompatibilities... and has chosen to ignore the problem. I can hardly blame them; as all possible fixes are loaded with paradoxes and catch-22s.
In case you didn't notice, welfare takes up about 750% of the national budget.
Libraries are for knowledge and learning. I see no reason for internet access at the library whatsoever. Go build a free Internet Cafe if you think poor people's greatest need is for that.
I really don't like dumb-shit legislation such as this, but it would be beside the point if libraries went back to taking care of books and periodicals.
This isn't just a Wal-Mart thing. Every HR-related website I've ever seen runs a hideous mess of SAP, ActiveX,.asp,.net crap. Pretty much the same for corporate intranets.
HR people, like journalists and schoolteachers, are trained to know nothing about everything. Websites are just one thing out of everything they suck at.
Gmail's take on POP3 is pretty nice. It works like any other POP3 server, except you have the option to never delete any messages off the server. Works for me.
Too often these "signs" are merely after-the-fact jumping to conclusions.
Every attribute or trait that is "different" about the perpetrator is assumed to be an "indicator" of the impending bad behavior. Even though thousands of other people with the same "differences" do not go over the edge or become pathological.
I think you may have confused "admin fucking rights", generally granted to any humanoid female, roughly 13-73 (depending partially on local regulations and customs); with "fucking admin rights", which are, of course needed for system maintenance, or on Windows, to say, play a game.
Slashdot Mirror
It was Scott Adamas, I think, who noted that if Holodeck technology gets to the level of ST:TNG, the human race is doomed.
btw, what a stupid article. I'm ashamed to have posted a comment, even if off-topic.
He asked everybody on ICQ out five years ago.
Increasing horsepower and torque is very useful... makes passing a slowpoke driving a Prissius quicker.

Obviously, she should have married somebody named Slash.

You mean they have no balls?

That was sort of funny in 1989. I haven't seen those stupid seat-back phones since cell phones weighed 5 lbs. each.

Compilers don't write and compile themselves.
Where did you get the idea that Vista has "enhanced reliability"?
You are a perfect candidate for Linux. With which you can measure uptime in months, not hours.
You do realize of course, that what you just said is idiotic?

When a disk fails in a RAID, it becomes an AID.
Or in the case of RAID-1, it becomes just an ID.

Do you know what OTS and COTS mean?
Clue: It's not just the new cool way to say "software".
You call that clarification? Now I know how my Mom feels when I try to get her to download an updated driver.
