I'm sure that works until something goes wrong with the automation and there's nobody left who understands how it works. I've automated plenty of my daily job, but when anything doesn't happen that should...nobody else will even attempt to figure it out, even though I do have these processes documented. Because I wrote the processes, i can usually figure out where to look and what the problem may be fairly fast, where someone else would have to figure it out.
- remotely allowing changes to the license plate, say your car is stolen or your registrations expired... it could change visually so your vehicle is more visible to police (yay?) - disabling the plate visually when its not in use. maybe good for rental places or again for stolen cars. - make it so instead of the license plate following the car it follows the person driving. not sure this has any benefit, but registration could behave more like a license... you get it the car and the tag changes to your specific registration, with all your history and your responsibility. the driver would be able to be identified without even pulling you over, even in a different car you don't own. For something like this to work everyone's biometrics would probably need to be collected...for you know, safesy...and to start your car...hahaha
Colonel Sandurz: Try here. Stop. Dark Helmet: What the hell am I looking at? When does this happen in the movie? Colonel Sandurz: Now. You're looking at now, sir. Everything that happens now, is happening now. Dark Helmet: What happened to then? Colonel Sandurz: We passed then. Dark Helmet: When? Colonel Sandurz: Just now. We're at now now. Dark Helmet: Go back to then. Colonel Sandurz: When? Dark Helmet: Now. Colonel Sandurz: Now? Dark Helmet: Now. Colonel Sandurz: I can't. Dark Helmet: Why? Colonel Sandurz: We missed it.

I agree. KML support is lacking in this. I have some huge kmz files (like this one https://live.wifidb.net/wifidb... ) and files with a lot of network links (like this one https://live.wifidb.net/wifidb... ) and neither of them work in this (the large file somewhat works). Its almost as bad as the mobile version of google earth. I'd love to see a 64bit version of the old desktop client...this new web version is junk
>Yes, but you said they stopped making them. Clearly not the case I said they pretty much stopped making them, not that they all stopped making them. The searches I did with your examples support this. 16x10 monitor choices are slim unless you want to pay out the ass or stick with a 24in minitor.
>I'm gonna call bullshit on that one, unless you can point to an example? Maybe I was a bit overzealous will sub $200. How about sub $300... I had in mind a hanns g monitor a friend of mine had purchased. This is actually a 28in 16x10 monitor. The lowest price I was able to find on newegg through the way back machine was $299, but i know i've seen it for less. https://web.archive.org/web/20...
One thing was clear searching the way back machine... there were a hell of a lot more 16:10 monitors in 2009. It seemed like in 2010 everyone started moving to 16:9.
There are 16x10 minitors, but its clear they are pushing 16x9 now. If I search for 1920x1200 monitors all I am seeing is 24in. There used to be 27in 1920x1200 monitors which I no longer see anywhere. You right that you could move to a 2560x1600 if you want to pay over $350 for a monitor...but its more than I would want to pay. You used to be able to get a huge 16:10 display for less than $200, but now that price range is filled with 1080p displays.
This is more because pretty much all the manufactures stopped making 16:10 monitors. They are all 16:9 or even wider now. Its like they only expect people to use their computers for video. My last monitor I purchased I had to get few inches bigger just to make up for the vertical height loss of the newer 4k displays.
The link to reset the password in the email went to educause-domain.informz.net that redirected to net.educause.edu. This particular email did seem a little suspicios
We got one of these notices at our university.
After trying to determine if the message was spam we decided it was likely real, but suspicious due to the link to a 3rd party website that redirected to educause to reset the password.
I ended up going to their website and calling the number they listed there (which was different from the one given in the email) just to verify that the email was legitimate before we entered information into the webform.
In server 2012 the picture preview is available, its just not installed by default. I am pretty sure its part of the 'desktop experience' feature. My question is, why would you even want that on a server?
Google Earths main benefit is its KML format. Google documents the KML format very well ( http://code.google.com/apis/kml/documentation/topicsinkml.html ).
I use google earth with my wireless network scanner ( www.vistumbler.net ). It has allowed me to do some interesting stuff with the wireless data, for example.
- We have a wireless database with over 100,000 Access Points. This creates a 75MB kml files of access points. Google maps is unable to load a KML of this size directly. (see our full KML http://www.vistumbler.net/wifidb/ --> Daemon Generated kml)
- I have a feature to export signal history to google earth as a 3d/colored/line above the earth (see http://forum.techidiots.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=33&t=278&start=0&hilit=Signal+Mapping )
- I have a feature called AutoKML which automatically creates 4 kml files. One of track you have driven, one with active APs, one of Dead APs, And one with the current GPS position. With a "Network Link" google earth updates the changes in the kml file at a specified interval and displays them. I can also specify a view height and current location, so I can make google earth follow my current location (and show me the active APs I am detecting).
These are only a few examples of what I use google earth for. I'm sure there are much more creative uses for it.
I noticed that also. Oddly, the Pirate Bay is back in the google results (http://www.google.com/search?source=ig&hl=all&rlz=&=&q=the+pirate+bay&btnG=Google+Search&meta=lr%3D)
its transparent to the user... unless you register your ip you do not have the option to disable the redirection

You don't even need to click the ads. When I was using Adbrite for ads on my website I started getting driveby spyware just by visiting my website. It installed right from the ad (i'm guessing by way of flash). I dropped Adbrite and haven't looked back. Eventually google approved my adsense application and I am now using them...no problems since
A friend of mine has a flip phone that you can change the camera from pointing out to pointing in.... I have no idea what kind of phone it is, but here is another one that the camera can be front or back facing ( http://www.mobilewhack.com/images/philip-videophone.jpg )
So in this case, you are saying that using linux will kill us all.
Without Windows what is going to stop the AI from gaining consciousness a destroying us!
We just moved our students over to gmail at Worcester State College. There were a few things our legal people did not like in the google agreement, but we were able to get google to modify the agreement in a way that was acceptable. It was also written in such a way that would allow other MA state colleges to use it.
only over the air broadcasts will stop in 2009. Cable companies can still use analog tv over the wire. So it is not necessarily true that a tv with an analog tuner will not work after the cutoff date, unless you are using an antenna
