If IT services were contracted out and cost $50/hr, you can bet people would start being more careful about downloading shit onto their computer after a few hundred dollars.
In my experience, that doesn't change the bad behavior, it just makes them put up with worse and worse situations until finally something breaks so badly that they're forced to call in IT. By this point, the situation has usually gone far beyond cleaning up a little BonziBuddy or virus, and will require significant time and effort to wipe and reload the system without losing their shortcuts to the site where they got their BonziBuddy in the first place.
When the ounce of prevention costs $50, people usually don't see through to the $800 that the pound of cure might end up costing them.
I think it is far more likely that all the.eml files were left behind by a virus/worm like nimda. I've seen something like that happen before. They may be zero length because of an antivirus scanner or shield utility.
Not really. There are tons of free programs for Windows. If they aren't being actively ported from Linux as is the case with the various projects indexed in the GNUWinII Project then it is part of the free/shareware market. Just do a search at download.com or something.
True, but the $5B (+$5B in unauditable equipment = $10B, which was a representative sampling of 25% of the whole (so guesstimate and multiply by 4 = $40B)) is being used as the basis for the rate charges, and the equipment's depreciation isn't being accounted for properly, so the rate charges are inflated by whatever percentage $40B is of the actual equipment holdings with proper depreciation of ancient equipment.
Do you have any links? I've been looking for something like this. Actually, I've also wondered if there is such a thing as a cellular repeater that I could hang out a window to improve my in-house cell reception. I'm guessing that it wouldn't be feasible with two-way digital communication.
Even better, how about
this new Mazda car? I'm not sure if they're planning on selling it in any Spanish-speaking countries, but Nissan doesn't seem to be picky about their new Moco (means booger in ES)
You only need 3 degrees (or is it 6?) of separation between the shots, so yes on the "simulate the space between the eyes". Be sure to center both pictures on the same point in space. (If you just move and shoot straight ahead, it won't be as good.)
If you want practice viewing crosseyed or walleyed 3D (or need a guide to scale your prints), check out this 3D molecular visualization from Raster3D'sSamples page.
I'd imagine this means that you can access the bios (or in the Sun case, OBP) over the serial port, something that only a handfull of PC mobos support.
I loved the Hobbit as a child, then started on the LOTR... I liked the story, but ended up skipping the historical accounts and poetry. Now that I have gone back to reread it years later, I can't even figure out which part I originally skipped out of boredom.
I thought the point of the article was to suggest that id go with the $100 per plan instead of GPL at the end of the Q3 engine's life. That actually seems like a step backwards for a company that is cool with releasing its old sources under GPL.
We learned all about this in Houston in the aftermath of Tropical Storm Allison. As it turns out, we were required to report and turn over all equipment that may have been water damaged (including working machines in a really humid room) because their warranties were all voided by the flood.
We've received several shipments from Sun recently. There are two departments on campus that are likely to purchase large shipments of Sun equipment, the supercomputing center and the computer science dept. Standard operating procedure seems to be to ship with a local carrier that arrives after 5:00 on a Friday at the exact opposite department from the one that should be receiving the equipment. The equipment isn't usually tied down in the van, but we've never had it fall over in transit.
My worst story is the delivery driver who didn't have a lift gate... He got his truck as close as he could to our loading zone and put a 1/2" sheet of plywood down as a ramp (which happened to be laying around, otherwise we were SOL). The driver yanked the pallet out of the truck at a near run. When the pallet full of seven netras and one E220 hit that "ramp", it gave way and fell out. The pallet free-fell for about half a foot, landing on the dock with a loud bang. *cringe* Everything is working fine, but I was sure to follow up on the support contract after that.
One possibility would be to use computer vision techniques to track the closest observers that are actually looking at your suit. The suit could then use that point of view to base its picture.

It may not be the same book the vendor is using, because it agrees with you on the simplicity factor.
Actually, they did show that in their graphs, but didn't really comment on what it meant. [chart across all tests]

Not to take the topic too seriously, but wouldn't that be called a pillar?

There's definitely something Mythinc from most peoples' reading lists...
Firstly, The Register is the National Enquirer of the net.
So are we to expect "Space Alien has Bill Gates' Child! Ballmer Stunned!" as the next headline?

Uh, failure to read the whole thing? %-) I realized this right after I posted and looked back up at the article... Oh well.

Of course, teTeX defaults to A4, so we have the same problem over here in the land of letter. It's just not a point'n'clicky solution.

Yeah, put a monitor behind the person's head. If they lie, draw devils' horns. If they are truthful, draw an angel's halo. %-)
