Then again, I've seen a very high number of all driver updates from WU totally destroy any functionality. It's especially unhelpful when the WHQL-certified Windows Update video driver bricks the system.
Try North Central Regional Library District. That's a big freakin' difference, considering the NCRL basically covers Leavenworth, WA east to past Moses Lake, WA; Rock Island, WA, north to basically the Canadian border.
Also, in your own ACLU-WA link, you only had to read until the end of the first paragraph (update ignored) to get the name right. Of course, I barely remember this tizzy at all, and I actually live around the NCRL's headquarters. Go ACLU!
Because it took all of 1.5 years for the Democrats to legislate to the banks "give billions upon billions of dollars to people in ill financial health!"
You know, because we wouldn't have heard that being pushed through and soundly destroying the economy in only several months, right?
These sub-prime loans started well before the Y2K bug was due to hit, my friend.
I want to chime in with Vectronic. At my work, we pulled out a 2.6GHz Celeron with 512MB of RAM and compared 7 Beta 1 to Vista SP1.
Windows 7 performed awesome. It took a little longer to load (boot screen only) than would be hoped, but it ran slick. In fact, a virtualized copy I was running with VirtualBox on an Athlon X2 with the Virtualization Extensions used ran only somewhat better with 2GB of RAM allocated and practically nothing else running on the host. Also, shitty virtualized video vs. crappy Intel 'Extreme' Graphics.
(The host was Server 2003 R2 Enterprise that did nothing more than serve up WSUS and a few simple workgroup fileshares. Rarely ever more than 2-5% utilization, and nothing was going on when 7 was played with).
Trying to run Vista on that with 512MB of RAM? Ha! It was horrid.
That's some pretty heavy-duty 'Service Pack' right there.
Except OEMs can't order XP anymore after this month. They can still take delivery through May/June, but that probably won't allow for a good enough overlap until Win7 fully ships.
You should possible just mention at the end of each story which merchants have supported your site's continuation, and a request to use them for shopping if the viewer wants to see the site continue.
Pray tell, what exactly does Seattle have to do with anything? Is it that Google has an AdWords engineering team in Kirkland? Or are you referring to Redmond, home of Microsoft? I can't figure out why the engineering team would care, they just build AdWords in monthly iterations. Or Microsoft, for that matter.
I really hate living east of the Cascades in Washington state and still having to be nitpicky about that. Probably over 2/3 of the land mass, yet a quarter or maybe a third of the population.
Whoa whoa whoa there, Junior.
We aren't Communists! Just Socialists.
Which has always amused me, since I live in Wheatville, WA. If you dare call the crop price supports Socialism, you'll get a new hole torn for ya. 'cus we aren't no sissy Socialists!
But, boy, they'll take the money. Just label it as something vaguely transparent.
Wait, wait. Doesn't it cost more to keep turning on fluorescent lighting than to turn it off?
I've seen numbers that stated, unless you were turning the flurorescents off for a week, it was cheaper to leave them on! And most places use fluorescent lighting anyway.
I'm curious about this: And I think the moderation system is abysmal--time and time again there has been excellent posts that are made days after a story is posted, which gets no mod points
The moderation system is abysmal because somebody makes a post several days after the story goes up? Within several days, most stories hit the archive bin anyway (for the front page). Very rarely do I go delving into the subcategories, quite often I just scan the front page, middle-click on what seems interesting and read that. But you are saying that moderation is abysmal because the user pool dries up on a several day old article and goes to read the new stuff.
Would you force people to use half their mod points on articles 3+ days old?
Yeah, because the highest minimum wage doesn't quite reflect that Washington state has one of the highest average costs of living in the United States.
I've heard of 'expanding earth' in passing. I think it was just as a joke.
Otherwise, I've never heard of these. And, no, my schools didn't teach anything like this. Which is surprising, with how Conservative my area is. Just not Conservative religious, I suppose.
On the whole, that grandparent just had to be sarcasm.
However, when you think about it, half the people in the states are screaming about 9/11, Katrina, and now the levees busting in Iowa/midwest being from "God mad at us."
How much can you blame these 'smart' people for believing in Creationism?
Would the "freeze ice blocks, heat-exchanger, melt, repeat" cycle be too inefficient for this?
Or just not enough capacity as associated with the evaporative plant? Because the freeze-and-exchange method could use mostly the same water for a good long time.

No fingerprint required for driver's license in WA.
You mean by jiggling the mirrors really fast?

Interesting. The current downloads I see for the generic Linux JRE (from java.com), ranging from x32/x64 RPM/BIN are all below 20MB.
Doesn't exactly seem that space-prohibitive for me.

Motherboard dies ten years out because of blown traces in the sandwich layers. Very few replacements exist that far out, and most are in-use.
How do you repair it?
SME Server = CentOS = Linux not Windows... the last time i checked (Wikipedia).

Yes!
(I'm pretty sure that's right...beginning == outside of platter? Correct me if I'm wrong.)
Since no-one else replied: beginning is at the inside of the platter on all data I've ever seen.
Amusing to know that New York State Civil Rights cover most states in the union.
Think of all the saved paper! And saved work time!

Aussies? Tell that to the other Americans too!
Well, considering the LHC and Europe are both in the Northern Hemisphere...

I think I was magically ordained one day as karma positive.
...Sounds like some disease.

On Astra, no less. Haven't used ICQ in over a year, though.
Heck, the last time I connected to ICQ was for shits and giggles...Hmm, make that the last -several- times I've connected.
