We also use Connect. But we opted for the licensed version and have a server installed on-site. Great product. All Flash based, works with any USB webcam or mic. The web server is a customized Apache install. We serve about 150 named accounts (with 1000's of 'guest' accounts) on a single server running W2K3 server. Connect also support clustering for licensed installs.
Sounds like the Microsoft FrontPage of coding software. Why do with text what you can do with pictures? And we all know FrontPge went on to become the defacto standard for web development....that had to be fixed by an real web developer later.
But on the upside, dedicated FTE's for "reinstalling corrupted FrontPage extensions" did skyrocket during the FrontPage era.
Yeah me too...I'm a pudgy guy of Irish descent (i.e. pasty white skin) who speaks Arabic. You should see the look on the faces of Muslims I meet at the mall when I strike up a conversation with them.
Reminds me of a story my English teacher told the class in high school. He is 6'6" tall and spent some time in China after college. He told us that, even though there were other Anglos here and there, everywhere he went there would eventually be a crowd surrounding him and gawking at his height. I imagine it was the same phenomenon he are speaking of: unfamiliarity adds either novelty or revulsion....but once something is familiar it is (eventually) accepted.
So how would you classify technologies like, say, the wheel or the flush toilet? There is such a thing as stable tech you know. That's why we have the axiom 'don't try to reinvent the wheel'.
I also owned a 1st gen Eee PC and it had dozens of 'moving parts'. All keys, the power button, the screen hinge, etc. Now if they put SSD's in a tablet with only a soft keyboard, that would be something.
Just so Asus is aware. If the netbook is truly dead after only 26 (or so) months then you did not 'pioneer a new class of computer', you 'started a short-lived fad'.
But in time that engine will become obsolete and then it will be powered by Denise Crosby. But we all know how that will end: less than a year and the engine will demand a more prominent role and probably just up and quite altogether. Only to come crawling back a few years after that to play it's own hybrid offspring from another time-line. Bitch.
A lot of the reasoning I am seeing in TFA can be boiled down to this: 'the facts of the treaty are so provocative, we need to keep them from the people'. Reminded me of parents who teach their children the lie of Santa Claus or the Tooth Fairy from birth, then resist telling them the truth later because it will 'break their widdoe hearts'. Seriously, I have seen TV shows leave in the raunchiest of jokes, but edit out any reference to Santa not being real.
I could do full time if I got a place to sleep, food to eat, and a little money for personal items. The only thing that keeps me here currently are the two small children I am responsible for. But most of the childless folks in my peer group did exactly that during Katrina: they quit their jobs and spent a year+ volunteering. I donated quote a bit of money to them because I knew they were not doing for the money. There is no reason to think they won't do the same thing for Haiti; that's just the type of people they are. I would go too were it not for my kids.
I assure you that someone, somewhere is getting rich(er) from millions of 'administrative costs'. That's why I never give money to any charitable organization that has a salaried staff. You need people to do the job of course. But they should be given room & board, a small living stipend for basic expenses, and never, ever, have their income determined as a percentage of the take.
I've seen posting on Craigslist for positions with non-profits paying 50K a year or more. Not exactly a towering wage to be sure, but also not where I want my money going.
I think what you mean are 'they are likely safer...'. Unless you have some hard data, I hesitate to think Googles' backups are any safer than mine. They have no vested interest in keeping my poetry and email thread with my sister safe, whereas I do.
I guess now is as good as any to go through my Gmail and Google Docs and make local backups. I'm sure my info is safe, but I have been through these types of 'upgrades' at work before and every once in a while....well, let's just say backups are never a bad idea.
That would work sort of. For Snopes they put a manual line break after every line, and they have a lot of in-line advertisements that will clutter up the code.
I am also a NoScript fan. I love it's use of the 'whitelist' security model. Instead of making me tell it everything I want to block, it blocks it all by default and I tell it what I want to see. I wish all security products used this model.
Snopes was (is?) using java to prevent site viewers from right-clicking and selecting text at all (not to mention using java to present copious pop-up and pop-under ads). I had no idea until I was watching a friend go to Snopes in a browser without NoScript running. Showed him how to user get NoScript and now he is free to copy/paste text with impunity!

I don't know about you, but a four-frame, time lapse, YouTube video showing brown things apparently moving to good enough for me. The Mars landscape is teeming with life! Life I say!

Really? Because I just Googled you on Facebook and found all kinds of images. Check. Mate.

I don't think Avatar applies in this case because only the aliens were CG. All the significant shots of humans were flesh-and-blood people.

No, but that would have been brilliant! Next time...

Sorry but my internal lameness filter automatically ignores any sentence beginning with 'WTF'.
Free loaders? You like GRUB or LILO? I don't get it.
Jeez, calm down junior! No need to open a can of fanboi on me....
