Obviously things aren't hectic like a restaurant, but my father and friends have all warned me against mixing business and pleasure and family.
Biggest problem is that after you outsource all their jobs to India, they don't just go away and find new jobs. They will nag you all day long and complain about your new porsche.
I've been a Seattle ATT Wireles customer for about 9 months. Since I use a Nokia 3650 and its Bluetooth with my powerbook all the time, I was surprised when I saw that AWE may be discontinuing service for this phone.
So I called up customer care, and waited for 20 minutes to speak to a human. The representative assured me that there were no issues with the 3650, or even the T68i. She mentioned that SonyEricsson T616 users were being given the option to upgrade to the T226, , but repeatedly denied that there were any known issues with the 3650. She did make a note in my account that bluetooth is *very* important to me, and wished me a good afternoon.
I'd like to see more source information on this supposed issue. I don't have any mailings from ATT Wireless that suggest that I'll need to change my phone. Is this a TMobile troll, attempting to grab some ATT users before the Cingular merger goes through?
Ingredients: Vodka (chilled) Dry Vermouth (chilled) Olives Olive Juice Martini Glass
Mixing 1. Add as much Vodka as you'd like to drink 2. Splash in some vermouth to taste 3. Splash in some olive juice, until you can't taste the vermouth anymore 4. Add an olive or two 5. Drink!
Optional Extras
1. If the ingredients are not already cold, you may pre-mix in a shaker full of ice, and then strain the liquid into your martini glass. Ice may be used directly if you don't mind diluting the vodka. 2. Vodka mixes well with everything. Try additional ingredients to make new and unique martinis.
This is why MBA schools should be shut down once and for all, they have been produced miserable failures for the past 2 decades, a ton of greedy idiot savants who are unable to see the whole picture.
You know, nothing says Big Picture like performance tweaking an inline function!
On early systems, particularly before the 286, the mass differential between 0 and 1 was a serious issue. However, the 286's innovative pipeline system introduced a shift in focus from mass to width. As pipelines became increasingly narrow, words composed primarily of "1"s began to execute at a more rapid pace than those with a heavy weighting of "0"s.
"What's that little box in the lower right-hand corner for?"
He was talking about the grow box. You know, the thing that makes the window grow bigger and smaller.
So we demonstrate how you can change the size of the window. This, it turns out, was the most amazing thing he had ever seen! He starts nodding appreciatively, as if he's sure their investment in this company is a good thing after all. Then he leaves.
Trick question. You don't want to know what would have happened if you failed!
Only here it's "3 years or 24 hours, whichever comes first."
Well, not quite. Dell is supposed to provide service within 24 hours, but in my experience they only deliver within this period for server products. It is actually dell that is at risk, not the consumer. IANAL, but htis might be an opportunity for a class action suit.
eMachines are just a crappy as Dells or Gateways but you avoid the brand tax with them.
With Dell you get a three year 24 hour warranty. While Dell has never serviced my laptop warranty claims within 24 hours, they often get them within 48. And they will replace parts until the machine works.
It is more similar to your landlord assuring you that he will fulfill the obligations of your current rental contract (while saying nothing about whether it will be renewed.) This position is just a somewhat discouraging legalese, because the ISS itself will not end its life in 2010.
It is nothing like a landlord, because landlords have been operating rental properties for many hundreds of years. The International Space Station is a new kind of property with unique constraints and obligations. NASA's position is porbably more like a venture capitalist or technology partner. It is a valulable, if tempermental, member of the team. When a partner like this fulfills the contract and exits at a pre-defined point rather than at its whim, the remaining partners are generally happy. They may have to shop around for a new partner, but with an advance announcement, they have more time. Maybe China will step up?
The concern here may be that the $1B is simply not enough
Adding $1B to the budget is a challenge to legislators -- are they willing to step up and increase NASA's budget? I would be more worried if the proposal required all funds to come out of rearranging NASA's current budget.
First lunacy: waste money bringing the space station up to snuff, then abandon our part in. That's one hell of a message to send to future prospective partners.
Bush stated that we would fulfill our obligation to the international space station. That sends a very positive message to future prospective partners.
Second lunacy: only add $1B to NASA's budget. They will have to gut every other program to fund this return to the moon, and they appear to be eager to do so.
How is that lunacy? If a moon platform better serves NASA's research goals then cancel the obsolete platforms.
Third lunacy: nothing in this proposal has anything to do with making access to space cheaper.
Making it possible rather than impossible to get to the moon and then mars is clearly a cost reduction in space access. Any further reductions are in the domain of business, not government. Once we are on the moon, it is government's responsibility to manage our property claims.
What ought to happen is tell NASA to get out of the way of independent private companies
Would you care to name some independent private companies that NASA is standing in the way of? XPrize contestants seem to be making good progress. Lockheed and Boeing are both public corporations which owe a great deal of business to NASA.
NASA doesn't build any satellites or rockets, that work is typically contracted out.
I'm not sure how that makes your point. If you replace an hour of TV with an hour of the Internet, you haven't exactly gained time for social activities...
If I want to find out what is happening in the world, it takes half an hour of CNN headline news to find out. The remaining half hour might be spent looking for something else to watch. It takes less than five minutes to catch up on Slashdot, CNN.com, Plastic, Kuro5hin, Metafilter, and Fark. Give 10-15 more minutes to read some articles and I still have half an hour to send email and instant messages to my friends.
The key here is the email and instant messages. With TV, there is no bidirectional communication. On the internet, I'm often messaging people who live across the street and across the world while I'm browsing CNN.com or slashdot.
Additionally, annotation of images is not always possible, especially when there is additional information in the image that might not be apparent from first glance
EXIF data, including a timestamp, is stored in the image file automatically by the camera. Both my Canon G1 and S30 do this automatically without harming either the image or using the space between frames.

I think you are trying to suggest that film has more stops of light sensitivity and higher resolution than film. While film may exceed consumer CCDs in terms of resolution, many consumer CCDs already cover both IR and visible spectra with many stops of exposure latitude.

I did call AWE support and they didn't know anything about 850 mhz networks, that was the point of my original post.
I'm aware that the 3650 is a 900/1800/1900 phone, but I haven't seen any evidence that AWE is moving to 850.
That is a great story, but do you have any documentation to back it up? Why didn't the AWE service girl offer me one of the great new 850 MHz phones?

Err...I'd rather date a student that's happy than a professional pulling down a half-million that isn't...
:)
Why not have it both ways? The profesional pulling down half a million will be far too busy to notice the student on the side.

I hope these newfangled cars don't run too many horses and buggies off the road! Vital emergency services are provided by horse drawn carriages.

They are nearly as innovative as Microsoft!
